ton. After his withdrawal from the
race, he said it was his intention to
start if he received reply, but none
coming to baud he merely went down
and crossed the line, to give the other
boat chance to make the race.
At 1855 gan doomed from the COM
mittee boat and the American yachts
ensign went up at the fore. That was
the preliminary signal and gave the
yachts notice that the prepare
tory signal would be given if
teen minutes later. All eyes
were turned on the British
boat and as no steamers were near the
course it was expected that she would
send up her club topsail and get
ready for the race. Great was the dis
appointment when no activity could
be seen on Valkyrie's deck.
At 11:1O a puff of smoke was seen
coming from the committee boat and
one red ball was sent up The boats
now had ten minutes for jockeying, but
the Englishman held aloof. He
cruised about the lightship end
of the line and did not go near the
committee boat. The minutes before
the start grew less and less. The De-
fender bore away for the line with
boom to port and spinnaker pole to
starboard and the big sail in stops
ready for the signal.
At 11:19 the Valkyrie ran up to the
windward of the line and swung about
and started for it as the Defender
crossed. She had not sent up her top
sail and had no spinnaker ready. At
1l:2O the starting gun sounded. The
Defender broke out her big spinnaker
and crossed at 11:2O:24 official time.
The Valkyrie went over the line
near the lightship end at 11:21:59, just
one second before the handicap gun.
Then she luffed up around the
lightship and a red protest flag
futtered from the starboard rigging.
They objected to something and had
quit the race. Their tug evidently
had a preliminary tip, for it was close
to the lightship waiting for her. A line
was taken from the tug and the cup
challenger headed for New York.
The Defender, with spinnaker and
balloon drawing well, proceeded on the
course alone, finishing in good racing
style. The Americas cup will remain
on this side of the water this year.

Terrible Loss of Life and Property by
Earthquake In Honduras.
TEaUCIGALPA, Sept A,-A courier has
arrived from Yetapan and announced
the most terrible earthquake ever
known in that section. The loss of life
and property is enormous. Three hum
dred people are said to have persisted.
On Sunday the shocks commenced,
continuing all day at intervals, there
being much damage. BY Monday
the city was filed by an addition
of $500 people from the mountains
and outlying villages. During Monday
night sheets of fame appeared at diff
ferent points to the northwest. rising
to immense heights. Tuesday morn
ing the shocks ceased, quiet was re-
stored and people left town for their
homes.
At 9 o'clock that night heavy rum
bling noises were heard, shortly after
ward followed by a temperance of the
flames in the mountains, which shot
up several hundred feet. Frightened
people again focked to town. At mid
night the church tower fell, carrying
with it the roofs Of three houses Nine
people were killed and eighteen
wounded. Rumbllngs which sounded
like the heaviest cannonading COM
menced and lasted over an hour and a
half. the people rushing madly
through the streets, praying and cry
ing. Just before daylight another pro-
longed shock. which is variously calcu-
lated to having lasted two and half
to two and three-quarter minutes
rocked the whole town as if it were
a cradle. Many fleeing people were
killed by rocks, which fell in shower
like a hailstorm. Smoke from the
mountains to the northwest rose to an
enormous height, followed shortly
after by the bursting of flames from
the mountain sides and the throwing
out of rocks and lava.

Heavy Withdrawals for Shipment Abroad

Heavy Withdrawals for Shipment Abroad
Create an Uneasy Feeling.
New YORK, Sept. 16.-The chief topic
of discussion in financial circles has
been the surprisingly heavy gold en-
gagements for shipment by Saturdays
steamers. The actual engagements
amounted to over $1,000, OOO The sud-
den engagement of $2,5oO.OO in
gold by Lazzard Freres Il Co., who
have been accounted leading members
of the government bond syndicate,
made general impression that the
syndicate which has stood between the
treasury and the gold exporters had
been disrupted. j. Pierpont Morgan, the
head of the syndicate, specifically de-
MED this. The syndicate says that all
it's obligations to the government were
fulfilled in June last and that there is
no agreement to maintain the reserve
at the 500, 100000 mark until Oc-
tober, but that since last June they
have voluntarily put gold into the
treasury to maintain its reserve and
would continue to do so even up to the
1st of January if necessary, and if ex-
isting conditions make it feasible. Ex-
perts explain the steady drain upon
the treasury's gold by the backward
ness of the cotton and corn crops. In
few weeks, it is predicted, there will
be an abundance of commercial bills
in the market and the pressure will be
relieved.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is The treas
ury general balance is $1s1, 962, 200, of
which 500, 56s,OOO is in gold. The
deficit so far this fiscal year is $14,-
900, 600, and with the revenues run
ming at the present figures this
deficit by January l next will
approximate so5, OOO. 900 or $50, 900, oOO
The amount realized by the three bcaG
issues made within the past two years
exceeds by only $6,OOO,OOO the total
treasury balance, 50 without those
issues there would now be an
empty treasury. With fulLtreasury
of course it follows that gold can al
ways be had, but with treasury de-
pleted by expenditures exceeding the
revenues, and with the tide of COM
mercial exchange against US, gold is
difficult to retain in the treasury.

New YORK, Sept. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
"a slight setback which may mean much or
nothing according to the final outcome Of the
crops. is not unexpected at this season. If the
government crop reports were correct, the sit
uation would not be encouraging, But not
much confidence is placed in the reduced es-
innate OF corn, none at all in the estimate Of
wheat, and even the most enthusiastic
bulls do not think it worth while to
quote the government report to cot
ton. The fact is that we are beginning to
market not far from 2,200, 600 bushels
of corn though only about 500 000.-
600 bushels will be moved from the counties
where it is grown: about $50, 1000 bushels OF
wheat, OF which the farmers are unwisely
holding back large proportion; and about
100000 bales OF cottoa If the later indica-
tions are not erroneous, as they very easily
may be- to add to the stocks carried over.
1.-The wheat crop is evidently larger than
the department has estimated, though nobody
knows how much larger, and is coming for
ward with more encouraging rapidity, no less
than 5,773l7S bushels having been received at
western ports, against 5,44j00l BUSH
els for the same week last year,
from much larger crop The
price declined sharply, aoouta cents per BUSH
Ell. with little indication of recovery. The
price of corn has also yielded with strong
prospect Of the largest crop ever grown, and
at 80 cents at New York large proportion Of
the crop will be of little profit to farmers.

TOO MUCH WATER.
The Little Town of GridIey, Kan, Wiped
Out of Existence.

OTTAWA, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE little
town of Gridlev. of 400 lnha bitants,
down in Coffey county. one of the ter
mini of the Burlington branch of the
Santa Fe, is a shattered wreck with
not single uninjured house in it's
confines. Most of the buildings and all
of the stocks of goods of every de-
scription are utterly ruined About
o'clock Sunday a storm of wind and
rain burst on the town from the north
west. A dowD-pour of rain Immediately
followed in a volume that can best be
appreciated by the statement that IL
inches of water fell in au incredibly
short time. This deluge completed the
destruction that had not been accom-
plished by the wind. Strange to say
with all the falling of roofs and walls
and flying debris that broke
windows far and near, not a per-
son of the town reported more
than the merest personal injury.

the believers in protection. In his
own county, Mr.. German says there
are several WOODEN mills which form
erly made rough and cheap class of
goods, but are now doing a higher
grade of work, for which they have
imported skilled laborers from New
England, most of whom are republi-
cans. The same is true of other
counties, and the aggregate gain OF
the republicans in that way, with the
accessions represented by the young
men of the state, several thousand OF
whom cast their first votes this year,
is quite sufficient to account for the
fact that Maryland has ceased to be
democratic.
There is good reason to believe
that similar process of evolution is
going on throughout the entire South.
Kentucky, Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia have all been carried by the re-
publicans since the last presidential
election. This does not SIMPLY mean
that the people of those states have
acted upon passing impulse of dis
satisfaction. 1t implies that they
have become convinced by actual ex-
perience that democratic policies and
methods are not conducive to their
welfare and prosperity. Local con-
siderations have influenced them only
in the respect that they wish to de-
velop their resources and increase
their products, and are satisfied that
this cannot be done without tariff
so adjusted as to give home labor and
enterprise an advantage over foreign
competition. This is the real secret
of the republican gains in the South,
the leaven that is destined in course
of time to leaven the whole lump,
and substitute intelligent and profit
able political action for the indefati-
gable folly of supporting the demo-
cratic party from mere force of habit
and inherited prejudice. The men
who own property and are engaged
il business have seen enough of dem
ocratic rule to assure them that it is
not good thing for them and their
section of the country. "They have
been disgusted," as Mr.. German says
concerning Maryland, with the
commercial and industrial depression
of the last two years, and they nat
urally turn Tor relief to the party
that has a consistent protection
record" That is the whole story
tersely told - an explanation that
fully explains.

The national treasury hobs up
serenely with its usual deficiency,
for the month of November. Only
two months of the fifteen since the
democratic tariff law went into effect,
has the treasury statement shown a
balance on the right side, and these
two were months of light expendi-
lures instead of heavy receipts. The
average expenses of the government
are 100000 per month; the heav-
lest treasury receipts under the present
law were little over S29,000,000 in
July of this year, which have fallen
to little less than S26,000,000 for
the last month. The average month
ly deficiency under the present law
has been, in round numbers, over
S4,500,000, or S70,494,044 for the
fifteen months. 1t is easy to account
for the melting away of the gold re-
serve when we contemplate $780,
100000 deficiency, isn't it? The
democratic press has had a great deal
to say about the "failure" of the Nc
kinley law as revenue measure.
Let us compare the records. From
the time that law went into effect un-
til the democratic success in '92,
thirtyfour months elapsed, and these
months give us the only natural, nor
NAL workings of the measure, as of
course, after the election of con-
gress and president pledged to ma
terially reduce duties, imports were
largely withheld to await the revision
of the tariff. During the thirty-four
months, there was surplus of $685.
100000, after paying all government
expenses. So it will be seen that,
whatever democrats may claim as to
the weaknesses of the Mckinley law
from their standpoint of free trade
principle, they are dishonest and
misleading in attacking it as reve-
nue. measure. Indeed, it was an
ideal measure in that respect, raising
just money enough to pay govern
mental expenses, with few millions
a year over to gradually wipe out
the public debt. In the comparison
of the two laws from the point of rev.
enue, however, it is not just to omit
to mention that, had 1t not been for
the notification of law by the
treasury department in evading pay
ment of the sugar bounty and in
withholding the rebate on alcohol

Germans Explanation.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Senator Germans explanation OF
the democratic defeat in Maryland is
candid and conclusive. "The state
went republican," he says, 'because
the republican vote has largely in
creased, very obvious and some
what significant reason" This is
not condition that has interviewed
in any sudden or miraculous way, he
goes on to point out, or because OF
any democratic revolt worth mention
ing. The democratic vote this year
was within 1000 of the highest ever
cast, which is remarkable for an off
year, and a practical proof that dis
sension in the party did not cause
its misfortune. For several years
past, there has been a steady growth
of republican sentiment throughout
the state. The development of man.
