morrow. The yacht was eagerly scanned
and discussed by little knots of yachtsmen
along the quay all the morning. The gen.
eral verdict is most favorable to the new
cutter. She has beautiful lines, her spars
are much admired, and her enormous boom
excites establishment.
''She is tidy-looking boat" said Capt.
Carter, sailing master of Britannia; land
she ought to give US some trouble"
How about the report that Britannia
may go to the United States to race for
the Americas cup in case she proves to be
faster than Ailsa and the new ValkyrIe?
Would the Prince of Wales send her to the
United States?" Capt. Carter was asked.
1T would hardly be worth while for any
boat to go to the United States with the
intention of racing for the Americas cup
unless she is able to beat Britannia" re-
piled the Prince of Wales skipper. ''as the
Americans will doubtless improve on Vigi-

Contested Spells.

The cases of five presidep tial postmasters
whose nominations failed of confirma ton
by the Senate are yet pending action in the
Post Office Department. The offices are
White Haven and Middletown, Pa; Togus,
Me-; Sank Centre, Mimi. and Elizabeth
town, Ky. There were contests over the
appontees at all these offices. the principal
one being at Elizabethtown, where the
nomination of Frank A. Joplin to succeed
Mrs. Emily T. Helm. relative of Presi-
dent Lincoln, was bitterly opposed. Most
of these nominations were caused by eX-
pration of the commissions of incumbents.
and some of the cases will again be taken
up for further action on Postmaster Cen
eral Bissell's return from New York. The
post offices at Cincinnati, where the COM
mission expired last month, and at Cleve-
land, Ohio. where the term of the present
incumbent expired last Saturday,and over
both of which contests are being waged.
have not been taken up for consideration
by the President and Mr.. Bissell. but recess
appointments probably will be made soon
after their return.

and operators failing to agree on the 60
cent rate for minirg demanded by the
former, the operators proposed joint con-
vention of miners and operators to be held
in this city on Saturday.
This proposition was reported to the
miners convention when it reassembled
this morning and was promptly rejected
vote was then taken and the strike was
ordered to take effect Immediately. The
delegates will return to their homes this
evening and meetings will be called at
every pit. when the strike will be announc-
ed and plans for its prosecution will be
formulated.
The miners are hopeful of winning the
strike for two principal reasons. The first
is that lake shipments Of coal are about to
begin, and that the demand for fuel will
force the operators to pay the 69-cent rate.
The other reason is that never before have
the miners of this district been so thor
oughly organized as now, despite the hard
winter of poverty and suffering through
which they have passed. The strike to in
sure them victory must be short. the
treasury CT the mine workers Is not in a
condition to fight a prolonged battle.

lives at Riverdale, Md, and after drawing
his pension money he fell in the hands of
a colored man named William Davis, alias
David Harris, SO it is charged, and now
Harris Is in Jail on a charge of having rob-
bed him. The amount he is charged with
having stolen is ST., but the manner in
which it is alleged he took it makes the
offense punishable by imprisonment in the
