NO LONGER PERN|C|OUS,
President Cleveland Will Not
Dismiss Men for Violating
His Famous Order.
Democratic Office-HolderS May
Therefore Participate in Pri-
maries and Conventions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2.-There
has been some speculation, more or less
serious, as to what President Cleveland
may do in the cases of Federal office
holders who have been active in primaries
and conventions, in view of his old order
prohibiting such ''pernicious" activity.
AT the time his order against offensive par
tisanship was issued, participation in pri-
maries and conventions to control party
nominations was regarded by Mr.. Cleve-
land as sufficient ground for the removal
of a Federal office-holder.
The fearless activity of this class re-
Gently has up to this time remained unac-
counted for, as under this famous order
they would be subject to dismissal. This
temerity and activity is explained by the
statement that Mr.. Cleveland has entirely
changed his views on the subject and that
the order is intended to become dead
letter.
1t is stated that Mr.. Cleveland has be-
come convinced that his original theory
on the subject OF offensive partisanship is
utterly impracticable. He recognizes that
under it he would have either to decline to
appoint his friends to Office or else, APP
pointing them, lose their services to the
party. He has decided he does not want
to do either the one thing or the other, and,
therefore, the order is to be disregarded in
future as it has been of late. 1t is said
that Mr.. Cleveland has for some time been
convinced that he could not afford to have
his friends put in the list of non-combat-
ants by becoming beneficiaries of his Off
cial bounty.
A formal revocation of the order of July
IA, 1886, would surely have excited much
comment and involved explanations. 1t
was, therefore, merely allowed to fall into
"innocuous desuetude." 1t is said that
ofice-holders are relieved from all obliga-
ton to consider the order, and that they
are in no danger of being called to book for
taking part in party conventions, prim-
aries or campaigns.

IN TRUE SAILING TRIM.
Additional Braces Have Made
the Stepping of Her
Mast Secure.
WEAK POINTS MADE STRONG.
All Arrangements for tho First
Brush With the VaIkyrIe Are
Completed.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. with the
first of the international races five days off,
rapid work is being done on the Defender
and Valkyrie III to fit them for the contest.
The Defender was floated out of the dry
dock at Erie Basin at o'clock this morn
ing, and with ner polished bronze bottom,
newly painted sides, vanished spars and
shining deck, she looked every whit a
worthy cup-defender. Additional braces
have made the stepping of her mast secure.
and Strengthening plate has been added
where the gooseneck showed weakness.
After leaving the dock the Defender was
towed to New Rochelle and anchored off
Mr.. Isein's place. Some of her fittings and
partitions inside will be removed to tighten
her and decrease her water line before she
is officially measured. 1t is the present
intention of Mr.. Iselin to try her new
headsails and the Herreshoff mainsail,
which has been altered since the last trial
race, by sailing on Long Island Sound to-
morrow and Wednesday.
Owing to lack of wind the Valkyrie
did not take spin to-day. Lord Dunra-
ven intended going out on sail-stretching
and tuning-up expedition and remained
on the yachts tender, the City of Bridge
port, over Sunday for that purpose. The
British boat lay at her anchorage in the
Horseshoe all day. Lord Dunraven went
on board at II A. NJ. and the cover of the
mainsail was removed and the staysail
sent up in stops. There was faint breeze
from the northwest which barelyr oughened
the surface of the water. 1t was decided
to wait until afternoon.
After dinner the lower bay was like a
mill pond, and even the breeze of the morn
ing had died out. Finally, when at $50
P. NJ. there was no prospect of wind, the
mainsaii was hoisted and some of the full
ness at the foot taken off. A very large
club topsail made of ramie cloth was sent
up to see how it fitted. Like most of Mr..
Ratzy's sails, it seemed to be beyond i'm
provement. 1t is considerably larger than
any club topsail which the Defender has
yet carried in race, and looks little
larger than the big one which the De-
fender tried last Saturday for the first time.
The Valkyrie's mainsail is now stretched
to the end of her boom, and sets much bet
ter than it did last week. AT 80 P. NJ.
this topsail was taken on deck and the
mainsail lowered. If the weather permits
the Valkyrie will go out for sail to-mor-
row. On Wednesday she will be taken
into the drydock at Erie Basin and her
hull will be pot-leaded and put in
shape for Saturdays race. She will be
floated Friday morning, and both yachts
will be officially measured by John Hy-
slop on that day. 1t is expected that the
measurements will make the British boat
allow the American two or three minutes
on account of the greater sail area Lord
Dunraven has put on his craft.
All the arrangements for the first test of
speed between the Defender and Valkyrie
on Saturday are now completed.

IN A BURNING MINE.
Three Hen Imprisoned Nth little Hope
of Escape.

Three Hen Imprisoned Nth little Hope
of Escape.
PANA, ILL, Sept. 1.-THE old shaft of
the Pana Coal Company is ablaze, and the
lives of three men are in peril. 1t is pos
sible that these men, who are imprisoned
in the pit, may escape by shaft No. 2, but
this is by no means certain.
The fire was first noticed at $50 o'clock
last night. In a. few minutes great volumes
OF dense black smoke came out of the
mouth of the pit. Great excitement en-
sued, and soon crowds assembled at the
mouth of the mine. People did not know
how nrany persons were in the pit, and
there were fears of great loss of life. At
length the company's officials made known
the fact that only three men were below
when the flames broke out.
Late last night the entire force of diggers
OF the mines were at work in shaft No. 2
in an endeavor to rescue the imprisoned
men. 1t was not known exactly where the
unfortunate men were engaged when the
fire broke out, and it was clear the work of
rescue would not be easy. There were
fears that when entrance to the burning
mine should be effected, it would be found
that the coal-diggers had succumbed to the
gas, If not to fire.

He Says Mayor Hopkins Did Not Adpisc
the Great Strike.
OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 2.-The World
Herald to-day wired Eugene V. Debs, in
regard to the story published in a Chicago
paper that he hadlsaid that Mayor Hopkins
advised the A. R. .. strike. This reply
was received:
WOODSTOCK, ILL.,, Sept. 2.
To the Editor of the World Herald: Replying to
your inquiry, l have to say that the charge re-
speeding Mayor Hopkins is wholly untrue
Mayor Hopkins had nothing to do, directly or
indirectly, with declaring the Pullman strike,
and any report to the contrary is unauthorized
and untrue. 1 alone am responsible for my
official acts, and do not propose to shirk the
consequences. EUGENE V. DEBs

Parse.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 2.-The profess
sional mile race between Johnson, Sanger
and Tyler for purse of $1,000 was the star
event on the programme at the Ramblers'
bicycle meet this afternoon. Nearly 5000
people crowded the grandstand at the
Driving Park, where the races were rum
The big professional race proved a very
interesting one. The battle for first
place in all except the second heat created
much enthusiasm, and the promoters OF
professional bicycle racing IN this city feel
greatly encouraged. After the introduce
tory scramble for novices Edward f.
Leonart of the Press Cycling Club broke
the 25-mile record by covering the globe
course in hour minutes and seconds.
The three winners of time prizes all
broke the previous record of 1:10:10. The
race was won by G. r. Starkweather of
Westteld, n. Y, the prize being team
of horses and carriage worth $1,000.
The first heat of the match race was won
by Johnson by few inches after mag
nificent burst of speed in the stretch. San
ger took the second heat, winning almost
as he pleased. Johnson led to the head of
the stretch, where he stopped as if in
lTOuOl6 anu was passed Dy DOIn Danger ana
Tyler. Johnson won the final heat and
race in one of the most exciting finishes
ever seen on the track. Tyler was second,
six lengths in front of Sanger.

sons trainer, was ruled off the trsck under
the l.. A. W. suspension declared by Chair
man Gideon some time ago, but which has
not been generally observed on other

to withdraw and he did so without pro-

an Attempt to Drive Brescery Wagon
Through Parade.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 2.-The
driver of heavy wagon attempted to drive

been pounded and few arrests made.
The Socialist Labor party turned out $50
strong, among which were two women.
One of the latter, Miss Lena Behn, wore a
bright red dress and badge of the same
color and carried banner upon which
was inscribed, 1.-THE powers that be fear
the red flag" and, Socialist ideas are pro-
gressive, nevertheless" This was too radi-
cal for the police and Sergeant Walsh de-
manded that the banner be withdrawn.
This was done quietly and no trouble re-
suited.
