A DANGEROUS FOE.
Valkyrie LII. is Fasts in Light Airs-In Her
Sailing She Resembles the YiriIant


London, June 19-The representatives
in Glasgow of the United Press, tele-
graphs that Lord Dunraven's yacht
Valkyrie Ill, was given trial today
which proved fairly satisfactory to those
interested in her. She had jib headed
topsail, her full mainsail working fore
staysail and jib. The wind was very
light, but the yacht slipped along fast for
two hours. She waltzed about off
Gourock on all points of sailing and
showed great quickness in stays and ease
in manoeuvering. The water went down
on the Firth and the wind died away, so
a large backyard topsail was substituted
for the jib header. On her return, about
three o clock, she ran into smart breeze
off Bullwood. She lay down freely, and
it seemed almost as though she was
under, but her deck in spite of appear
ances was never in the water. She made
few tacks in good wind and returned
to Gourock.
The new boat is certainly fast in light
winds. She lay on her side in the stiff
breeze today in a manner resembling the
Vigilant, but always kept going. Her
balance is apparently perfect and her
sails look well but hang loosely, not
yacht has the appearance of trimming
slightly by the head as she sails.

CURED in the chamber of deputies today
during a debate on the address in reply
to the King speech. A radical deputy
spoke in favor of amnesty to political and
other offenders, whereupon Premier
Crispi declared that the government
would propose that the Kings mercy
should extend to peasants and others
misled, but certainly not to the leaders
OF the revolt The utterance was vocifer-
ously applauded by the majority. When
the applause subsided Signor Crispi at
tempted to continue his remarks, but was
interrupted by cries of all sorts from the
radicals Some members of the majori-
ty representative radicals for their conduct
and for a time there was violent ex-
change of inyectives. A number of depu-
ties descended to the centre of the cham
ber which soon became packed. A strug-
glle followed in which many blows were
struck and the sitting had to be suspend
ed. The president ordered the galleries
cleared and everybody was excluded from
the chamber who were not connected
Herewith. A deafening, uproar followed
which continued Is minutes when order
was restored and the sitting resumed.
The president severely rebuked the dis
orderly deputies and announced that he
would enforce rigorous measures if such
unseemly conduct was again indulged
in.
The address to the Kings speech was
carried by a large majority.

Fight on Money Question to be Precipitated
Cleveland, June 19-Seldom has so
much interestbeen manifested in conven
tion or League of Republican Clubs as in
the one which convened in Music Hall
this morning The great prominence of
the money question, the uncertainty of
the presidential nomination situation and
promised contest for the head of the
league ticket all combined to make the
occasion one of much more than ordinary
interest.
The prettiest fight in the convention
promises to be over the silver question.
At caucus of silver men held last night
which lasted until l o'clock this morn
ing, Chairman Tom Carter of the Nation
al Committee and Senator Dubois of Ida
ho We're constituted champions of the sill
yer cause, commissioned to fight for it

was another conference of the free silver
men early this morning.
Delegates from Colorado, Utah, Arizo-
ma, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming Ida
ho and New Mexico were represented
Col. Isaac Trumbo of Utah presented the
following resolution, which will go into
the convention and precipitate the fight
on the money question:
Resolved, That the Republican party,
organized to preserve tho unity of the
object of protecting the people thereof
and maintaining their prestige as Anne
rican citizens among the nations of the
earth is, by its traditions, committed to
the financial policy designed to conserve
the best interests of all our people and
their varied industries and to give with
the debtor equal rights with the creditor,
therefore, the Republican party is un-
alterably committed to the restoration of
the bi-metallic standard as it existed in
this country prior to 1878 namely, the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l.
The committee on resolutions is the
place where the battle is to be fought.
The committee organized this afternoon
by electing Congressman John B. Robin
son of Philadelphia, chairman, over sill
yer man. A motion to appoint sub
committee of nine who should formulate
a platform to be submitted to the full
convention, was debated at length and

next convention of the League at Mil
waukee.
The committee on resolutions went
into session at s clock and are still in

tees were appointed tonight.

William Lets An Opportunity to Make a
Speech Go BY.
Hamburg, June 19-At about half past
six this evening a banquet commenced in
the banquetting hall of the newly built
Rathhaus. At the banquet after the
toasts, Burgomaster DR.. Lehman ad-
dressed the Emperor and other sovereigns.
He made a long and deliberate speech,
keeping the Emperor and the kings
standing with their glasses in their
hands. The Emperor returned thanks in
an uncommonly guarded manner He
said he did not presume to accept the
welcome for himself, but it was for all
the German sovereigns surrounding him.
The canal was a great work of peace. 1t
unites two great seas for commercial and
defensive purposes.
The Emperor walked at about s. 45 from
the Rathaus to the corner of Reesendam
and Jungforneteig, where special pier
had been erected for the use of the
Emperor and his guests Tribunes built
were filled with spectators At about
eight O'Clock members of the Reichstag
arrived at Damthor station and were
taken to the island on launches. The
Veteran and Warriors union formed a
line in front of the Rathshaus, where the
Emperor reviewed them. The old soldiers
were addressed by the Emperor before
he left for the island. The members of
the Senate left for the island before the
Emperor started. The crowds We're not
so dense as were expected, and this was
probably due to rain. About nine rain
began to fall heavily. The downpour
marred the illuminations.

ANOTHER SWlNDLE.
This Man Claimed To Be Contracting for
Goods for a Circus Company.

Augusta, June ia party or parties
have been victimizing dealers along the
Kennebec. The scheme was to go to a
trader and give large order for his
goods to be delivered to a circus, the con-
tractor saying that he was the representa-
tive of the show. After signing the
contract he would state that it was big
order and intimated that the dealer ought
to make him present of 50 for getting
the business. The money almost in
yariably was paid over and the false
agent would go to another and work the
same game.
