ANOTHER VICTORY FOR DEFENDER. el
She Walked Away From the vigiIant-Trial
 Races Begin August 20.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 6.-The fleet of the New York Yacht club today contested for the eighth Drexel cup. four of the schoon- CTS and four of the sloops. The chief in- terest was centered in the big sloops, but between them it was only a match race between the Defender and Vigilant. The Volunteer did not start. The Jubilee had trouble with her gaff at the starting and was never in the race.
 The Defender walked away from the Vigilant from the beginning, getting the best of the start The course was a tri- angular one of twenty-one miles, to be covered twice, making a total run of forty-two miles. The regatta committee, however had the privilege of calling the race after the course was once covered if they found sufficient reason for doing so. The Defender beat the Vigilant six minutes and ten seconds, winning the Drexel cup. Owing to the fog the yachts were sent only once around the course.
 The big sloops were timed at the first marks thus:
 Defender, 12 :50; Vigila.nt, 12:29.
 At the finish-Defender, 210:13; Vigi- lant, 2:17:14.
 At the start the Defender was half a minute ahead of the Vigilant. At the first turn she led by six minutes and ten seconds, at the second turn by seven minutes and twenty seconds, and lost five seconds in the run home. The Wig liant used a spinnacl<er, while the De- fender did not The American cup com mittee met this afternoon and decided to hold the trial races on August 20 and 22 off Sandy Hook.

SECOND EDITION.
HERE IS THE LAST DOSE.
Harvey and Horr Make Out Schedules of What They Think Each Proved in That Debate.

Chicago. Aug. 6-In accordance with the agreement entered into by the silver and gold debaters, Messrs. Horr and Har- vey, governing their recent contest in this city, each was to prepare recapitula- tion of the points made in their respective arguments, not exceeding 25OO words each and to complete the same within week from the close of the contest. This has been done and in substance the summary of Roswell G. Horr is as follows:
 MT. Harvey admits that the book is pure fiction. He repudiates it's motto by declaring that it does not mean what it says. His statement that primary money only is the measure of value he has not even attempted to sustain, though his proof has been called for repeatedly. MT. Harvey next based his case upon the assumption that the law of 1873 was a crime and stated that it had its origin in fraud and it's birth through bribery and corruption. He introduced no evidence in support of either proposition and stands convicted of making one of those charges without any proof that would be received in any ordinary court of jus tice. If congress was bribed to pass a bad bill then the bill must have first passed in bad shape Now, if that be true. then there would be no need of a clerk to do the dirty work. If it was done
 
 that congress passed the bill as it ought to have been and consequently they could not have done what he says they were bribed to do. If congress passed the bill all right and the enrolling clerk enrolled 1t correctly then the bribery could apply only to the members of the conference committee. All these villaines are then abandoned when he claims that the whole thing was accomplished by means of substitute bill''
 He misled people by partial statements which led to false conclusions, when the whole statement would have been per fectly clear to any one. The civilized world is clearly on my side of this issue IMr. Harvey in summarizing the debate shows:
 It settled the proposition that gold and silver are the money of the constitution. Mir. Horr did not controvert this. The silver dollar was the unit of value in our coinage system, fixed by the act of 1872 MT. Horr admits this. Silver and gold were the measures of value of all other properties until 1873. and the debtor had right to pay in either metal. The act of 1873 was surreptitiously passed. The prices of all property are now measured in gold alone and are substantially one half which they would be under the bi- metallic system. I have made good all the propositions set forth in my opening statement. MT. Horr found no errors in my book except the statement that the silver coined prior to 1873 was $105, ,000 000 instead of S143 000 000 MT. Horr shows he does not yet know what bimetallism is.

by both gold and silver may be freely coined and used as money in trade for the world. The conservative element finally succeeded in defeating each of the resolutions referred to, and only resolu- tions which were adopted by the conven- tion were agreed to.
 At the night session the only feature of interest was the speech of Senator Cockerill. At its conclusion the con- vention adjourned sine die. There are many heartburnings among those who came here with gubernatorial boomlets The most prominent of them were State Senator Lou Y. Stephens and Judge J. s. Gibson of Kansas City. The success of MT. Bland destroyed their chances.
 Bland dominated the gathering com- pletely He was the temporary and per- manent chairman and in opening the convention stated deliberately that the time had come for the silver men to as- sume control of the party machinery and run it with a view of accomplishing their ends. Blands idea of reorganization is looked upon as bad politics and it was terrible slash al the old state central com mittee, which was the Mafiitt-Francis ad- ministration machine.
 Blands fight was won after bitter caucuss with Senator Cockerill, Governor Stone and other prominent leaders, who counseled compromise. The delegates were with him, and his programme was enthusiastically carried out. The conven- tion was noticeable for lack of speech making, considering the weighty nature of the business transacted There were no fights on the floor of the convention and the reorganization of the committee and the adoption of the platform were carried by practically unanimous vote.

HOW BAD HABITS ARE FOPNED.

The Nsz0 Yoyk 75j6ume says "The habit of Iaking headache powders is increasing to an alarming extent among great number of wo- men throughout the country. These powders as fher name indicates, are claimed by the manu- lecturers to be positive and speedy cure for any iorm of headache. Iii many cases their chief ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine some iother equally injurious drug having tendency 50 deaden pain. The habit of taking them is easily formed, but almost impossible to shake of. Women usually begin taking them to re- lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they may be subjected to, and finally like the nor phine or opium fend, get into the habit of taking them regularly, imagining that they are in pain if they happen to miss their regular dose"
 In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is ill the stomach and liver. Take simple laxative and liver tonic and remove the offending matter which deranges the stomach and causes tte headache. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed entirely of the purest, concentrated, vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed; ouce used. alvays in .fa00r. They posi- lively en,e sick headache and remove the disposition to it.

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. 6.-Bases on balls, an accumulation of errors and base hits showed in at the proper time was the composite parts of Atlanta's team work today and incidentally pulled the game from New Orleans with every imaginable ease. The local team never had a say in the game and Atlanta took her own time in winning. Carl was the pitcher for the locals and he could not have found the plate with a dark lantern. His cratic pitching threw Bonding off and the team work followed suit. Despite the four CT TOTS of the visitors their fielding was snappy and brilliant, and they played great favorites with the spectators. Score:

 The debate was conducted on most har- rnonious lines. The speeches were highly interesting and the great majority sat out the three and a half hours with ap- parently no thought of time

A Collapse at Cowes.

Cowes, Aug. 6-Five yachts were ex- pected to start today in the race for her majestys cup, over the Old queen course starting from off the castle round the Bullock patch buoy, outside the Nab light ship, thence around the Lymington Spit buoy and back to Cowes fifty miles, They were the Britannia, Hester, Carina, Meteor belonging to Emperor William, and Verana, which belong to the Royal Yacht squadron. The race, however re- suited In fizzle, the weather apparently frightening all the yachts from entering for the contest except the Britannia, which started al 10 o'clock to sail over the course alone. The wind was strong from the south. Various reasons are given in explanation of the collapse of the race. There was too much wind and the sea was too heavy for some of the boats, but the probable reasons for the Carina's S failure to start was the fact that the time allowance given her by the Britannia has been reduced, she being allowed this year forty-three minutes, whereas her allow ance last year was forty-five minutes.
 Emperor William was on board the Meteor before time for the racers to get away and the yacht had her mainsail in readiness to start, but no other sail was spread and the Britannia was the only one of the big raters to cross the line.

Gathering at Jackson.

Jackson, Miss. Aug. 6.-1t is estimated that there are 1000 strangers in Jackson tonight, and that many more will come in on the morning trains tomorrow to attend the democratic state convention. The hotels and boarding houses have run out of rooms already and are putting cots and pallets in their parlors and halls at the earnest solicitation of would-be guests The streets of the unusually quiet little city have assumed regular Christmas or circus day air. Tents and eating booths have been established in every available space, where ladies of the several churches are raking in few honest pennies for the preacher.
 The candidates for all principal offices have established headquarters either at the hotel or in ante-rooms in the state house and are working like beavers. The city was never before in such a stew as tonight, but all aspirants are presenting their claims on high grounds, so that no real hard feelings have been engendered. There Is some discussion as to who will be made chairman of the convention. Sev- eral names have been suggested, but the one most frequently heard Is eX-Con- gressman Stockdale of Pike. Hon. J. B. Boothe of Sardis, who is chairman of the state executive committee, is on hand and will call the delegates to order about noon tomorrow.

 Pleasant Pellets ininie- diateiy after, and in the course of an hour my headache is cured and no bad effects. I feel better every way for having taken them not worse, as is usual after taking other kinds of pills.

Mobile knocked Ford out of the box in the first inning and he was replaced by Bailey, who held the locals down to four hits in five innings As soon as the visitors tied the score in the fifth inning Ely quit pitching and just lobbed the balls over the plate as big as balloons and a child could have made base hits off of them. Phelan and Burns are both on the sick list and the home team was badly crippled, Slow" King consenting to accommodate the management and play short stop. and Mcfarland umpired and gave general satisfaction.
