STRUCK A SAND BANK.
Niagara Had Hard Luck la the Isle of
Wight Race.

RYDE, Isle of Wight, Aug. 16. The
annual race around the Isle of Wight,
under the auspices OF the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club for the commodore's cup for
two classes, one exceeding and one not
exceeding seventy rating, the second
prize, GI0 to go to a yacht of a
different class than the winner, was
sailed today. Ailsa, Britannia, Hester,
Carina, the forty-rater Inyoni, Caress,
Corsair, Niagara and the twenty-rateer
Isolde started. The larger yachts were
soon away ahead OF their smaller COM
petitors.
Niagara, soon after starting, grounded
on a sand bank and assistance was sent
to her as the tide was receding. Niagara
remained aground for about half an
hour. after which she was fioated and
retsrned to her anchorage. 1t is not
thought she has sustained any damages OF
q serious nature.
A reporter OF the Associated Press saw
the captain as soon as she reached Ryde.
He said Niagara was not injured. Mr.
Howard Gould's yacht, he added, was to
windward and leading when she struck a
hard lump. Everything possible was
done, but without success, to get her off
in time to resume racing today. A few
minutes previous to her grounding, the
lead line which was kept constantly
going, had recorded three and half
fathoms of water. The sand bar, IL APP
pears, rises almost perpendicularly and
has been the scene of many disasters.
Later on IL was discovered that the Cor
sair, which Is owned by Mr. II. W. L.
Popham, had run ashore on the rocks off
Ventnor. The other yachts were be-
calmed.
The race eventually turned out TO be a
flasco on account of the adverse tide and
the fact that there was no wind Brit
annia abandoned the attempt to round the
TaIo of WfUht and nm bark for RU1a
Corsair remained fast ashore i'm spite OF the
efforts made to float her and the coast
guardsmen were compelled to put out 20
her assistance. The other yachts, not
being able TO make headway, anchored
In disgust.

ures. Southern women did but little n
this line for the Chicago Exposition, but
when they saw the relics fom New En-
gland at that time they took the hint and
now are making most elaborate prepara-
tions for something similar in their sec
tion, and most urgent invitations have
been issued to the 13 original states to
send all they had.
The Rhode Island Commissioners, who
were appointed by ex-Gov. Brown before
his third term of office expired, are Miss
Mary A. Greene, chairman; Mrs. William
II. Talbot and Miss Charlotte +. Daley.
Acting in cooperation with them are
Mrs. Amelia s. Knight, Miss Eliza Il.
Dexter and Miss Susan Miner of Proyi-
dence and Mrs. Richard j. Barker of
Warren.
Their collection contains many articles
that are closely associated with the MEM
ory OF General Nathaniel Greene, in
lcluding, as it does, the fine marble bust
at the Athen@um, and many of his pro-
fessional papers. There are also the au-
thentic autographs of stephen Hopkins
and William Ellery, the Rhode Island
signers of the Declaration of Independence
and stephen Hopkins inkstand, which
was used by all the signers. Among the
documentary relics are valuable papers of
very old date, showing peculiar condi-
tions in Rhode Island history, a photo
SiaPh VI tHt VI TX lnhl NolDIhSb VI Il iONA-
dence of 1887, the tattered original Of
which is in the custody of Mr.. Edward Q.
Field of the Municipal Court, and a
photograph OF the famous charter OF
Charles III, which hangs in the Office of
the Secretary of State. The collection
also contains a complete set of Rhode
Island paper money and one OF the 81
articles is the State table cloth of Cover
nor Aglethrope of Georgia, which came
into the possession of a Rhode Island
family a good many years ago.
These articles are not at Miss Greene's
residence nor yet in the possession OF the
commissioners, as was supposed. They
Will be left with the owners until the last
moment. when professional packers will
take charge of them and prepare them for
Miss Greene TO take to Atlanta. She will
superintend the unpacki9g and one or
more of the Rhode Island ladies will be
present during the Exposition.
The collection will be in Colonial Hall
of the Women g Building and in care of
the Atlanta Chapter OF the Daughters OF
the American Revolution.

Lad Had Been Reported to
Police as Missing.
Identified as That Of Charles Cory Of
88 Brook Street.
The Boy Had Not Been at Home Since
Wednesday.

The body of Charles sCory, years old,
was found floating in the harbor near the
dock Of the Merchants and Miners steam,
ship company at 10.15 O'Clock this morn-N
ing by John j. Kelly of 230 Wickenden
street.
The boy had been missing from home
since ednesday evening and was seen in
the vicinity of the New York dock about
6 o'clock on that day, and that was the
last until his little body was seen floating
upon the water this morning.
IL Is presumed that the wake of the
where the body was found, was what
caused it to float, for the steamer had put
just gone by when Mr.. Kelly made the
discovery. Medical Examiner Palmer was
called and after viewing the remains,
ial. IL was taken to the home of its
buried Sunday at 2 O'Clock
The boy was lover of the water, and
il was almost impossible, for his parents
day evening he and other children were
told his mother of his narrow escape.
The indications are that the lad fell
overheard, as a part of the flesh from the
forehead has been torn off. He had on
all of his clothing, including his shoes
and stockings, wien found, which would
indicate that he had not been in swim
ming.
When last seen there was another boy
with him about his 'own age, but no
other children in the vicinity are missing.

OUR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.

Dalles City has now called in the last
of its warrants, and, if the law is obeyed.
no more will be placed in the market.
We have been fortunate in liquidating
our $57 900 Indebtedness at time when
capital was seeking investment in mulci-
pal securities, and its owners were will
ing to take smaller rate of interest
than during times of business activity.
If this ends our bonding experience, it
is well; but If the readiness with which
we disposed of our bonds tenpts us to
create further obligations and borrow
more capital, it will be worse for the
CITY than our former condition, when
we were paying 8 per cent on the in
debtedness, and struggling hard to pay
interest and reduce the principal.

The results of the English elections
show surprising victory for the con-
servative party. The change of senti-
ment rivals the elections of last year in
the United States, and shows that this
country is not the only one that is sub
ject to sudden and radical transferring
of political power. Most of the noted
leaders in the liberal party have fallen
by the wayside. Those who were elect
ed crept in by small majorities.' The
outlook for Ireland and Home Rule is
dark enough now to please the most en-
thusiastic tory. The party of Gladstone
is outside the breastworke, and from
present signs their opponents are en-
trenched too strongly for an early dis
Judgement.

OUR FARMERS THANKFUL.

Never before has tho wheat situation
attracted greater interest. In former
years good price was such certainty
that it hardly came into consideration /;
but the vast increase in foreign acreage
and the cheapened cost of production in
other countries has made it doubtful
whether the tiller of the soil shall re-
ceive fair recompense Tor his labor.
After the low prices of last year the farm
ers are all the more concerned that this
season give opportunity of recuperation.
Selfish as may be the thought. short
age in other lands means better prices
with US. The latest reports indicate
that the fields of Minnesota and Dakota
will not bear their expected crops, and
that drouth there Is working great dam
age. Eastern Oregon farmers should sing
q song of thankfulRess that the time oi
anxiety is past with them and soon the
noise of the threshing machine will be
heard in fields covered with golden
grain.

One of the strongest proofs that the
Columbia river bar has lost its terrors is
seen when large ships sail from the
ocean and anchor in Astoria without the
services of tug. The good ship vi
dette, loaded with 100000 feet of lum-
Der, waited in vain for a tug to arrive,
and then the captain, provoked, came
in without one. There was not even a
pilot aboard acquainted with the river,
and it had been years since the captain
had crossed the bar. No more convinc-
ing recommendation could be given OF
the satisfactory work Gone at the jetty.
The Columbia bar was once bugbear
now navigators forget it ever existed. /.
