England Hot at France.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Aug. 23.-The
expected stoppage Of railways by
French warships caused great ex-
element here. 1t is felt that the
crucial time has come when Eng
land must make a determined
stand against French aggression or
else sacrifice New Foundland's
prosperity, which chiefly depends
on the development of her internal
resources, made available by the
completion Of the railway. Premier
Whiteway has started for Bay Of
Islands, where trouble is expected
to arise. The British gunboat,
Buzzard, leaves today to REINFORCE
the flagship Cleopatra, now near
the disputed coast. Considerable
correspondence is taking place be-
tween the local ministry and the
Salisbury government relating to
the matter. England's course is
watched with anxiety.

THE GOVERNORS FIAT.
SAYS THE OORBBTT-FITZ FIGHT
WILL NOT TAKE PLACE.
His Instructions to the Dallas
sheriff-Force Will Be Used,
If Necessary, By the
State.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 23.-[Spe-
cialI - Governor Culberson this
morning made public some cor
respondence between himself and
Sheriff Cabell, Of Dallas county,
anent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
prize fight. The governor, in his
letter, asked Cabell II he intended
accepting the attorney generals
opinion, holding the prize fighting
law to be valid. Cabell replied
that il any writ was placed in his
hands by the county attorney he
would certainly serve 1t, and he
adds that in case no writ is issued
and the responsibility is thrown
entirely on him he will unhesitat-
ingly discharge his duty. He in
turn asks the governor IL, under
the law, he would be justified In
using force, even to shooting down
citizens, or il such course would
be advised by him. In reply to
this the governor says that at the
proper time what force may be
necessary to successfully quell the
fight will be easily procured. He
further advises the sheriff to noti-
fly the fight managers at once that
they intend to suppress the fight
at all hazards, 80 that the manage
ment can cease operations on the
ring and building at Dallas.

THE THIRD vALKYRIE.

happens to every new boat after
her first race. 1t Is easily remedied
We have just received cable
gram from New York that the Val.
kyrie is now in her racing condi-
ton, and will 60 out of the dock
and be put in trim at once, ready
for sailing this week."
"Will she have an opportunity
for any trials in America before
competing with the Defender?"
"No, there are no boats there
with which the Valkyrie could
have a spin"
"Will the Valkyrie's speed show
to better advantage in the light or
strong winds?"
allow can we tell? Just remem-
Der we have sailed her only three
times altogether. What can we
tell of her qualities after such
short experience?"
The same question being put to
Mr.. Watson, he said: "The Val
kyrie's greatest speed will be ex-
hibited in a stiff breeze. The speed
of every yacht is shown in a strong
wind, but on what points she will
prove superior to the Defender, re-
mains to be proven"
"Do you think Valkyrie is going
to VIM"
Dunraven replied: of 1 did not
think so, / would not race. We
have done all we could to build the
fastest boat and / think we have
fair chance.I shall sail on Valkyrie
in all the races, so will Mr.. Watson.
Our crew will number AZ, all told,
with a few extra hands. The crew
are all Englismen, all yachtsmen,
and L am sure they will render
good account of themselves. Some
Of them have sailed on preceding
Valkyries."
Mr.. Watson, being asked IL he
considered Defender a formidable
rival, said: ooh, yes, she is a
mighty good boat. You see what
she has done with Vigilant. By
such performances she has proved
herself to be a flyer. Defender has
shown more speed than Vigilant."
SWIFT WORK ON vALKYRIE.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Valkyrie
III is getting into racing trim with
marvellous rapidity. III. Maitland
Kerr and Arthur Glennie were on
hand at the Erie basin bright and
early to supervise the work. The
clothes of both showed they were
there on business. Mr.. Glennie
thinks the rigging will all be up,
the sails bent and everything in
shape for leaving dock Saturday
afternoon. "The boat" he said,
twill probably be fiosted late to-
morrow afternoon or early Sunday
We shall stay at our
moorings all Sunday and not go
down to the Horse Shoe till Mon

DEFENDERS BAD LUCK
She Runs Aground Off Hogg Island
Light Ship.


BRISTOL, r. l., Aug. 23.-Another
mishap, though not serious one,
has befallen the Defender while on
her way from New London to this
harbor. She was sighted of the
mouth of this harbor just after 2
o'clock yesterday, sailing steadily
in the light breeze. About 2 80
she appeared to have come to an
anorchage off Hogg Island light
ship, but instead she was ground.
ed. The deep keel, which has al
ready caused so much trouble,
took bottom and the Defender was
again practically helpless. Her
position, however, was not in the
least serious as the wind having
been very light, the yachts head
way was not great. The same
tactics which have been successful
in previous mishaps OF the same
sort were at once tried aud in
about half an hour, the yacht was
soon standing up for the harbor.
She dropped anchor of the
Hereshoff dock at about 4 o'clock.
Workmen were waiting for her at
the dock to begin the work OF over
hauling her. A large number OF
yachtsmen aud others who had
heard the numerous stories con.
corning the damaged condition OF
the new boat were gathered about
but the most careful inspection OF
the craft failed to disclose any,
thing amiss with her hull.
The first work was to remove the
top mast and then the. work Of
overhauling was postponed until
nightfall. Meanwhile the steel
workers are framing the top mast
bands and labor on the metal
boom was not allowed to cease and
will be continued day and night
until finished.
Mr.. Iselin denies that the De.
fender has sustained damage.

SWEEPING FOREST FIRES.
Immense Destruction to Forests in
Washington and Idaho.

"utAAhBtOh anu 4obhO.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. pa spe-
cial to the News from Spokane,
says: Rain has been falling at
intervals during the past two days,
temporarily checking the forest
fires, but the flames have again
broken out afresh. Many campers
and explorers have been out in the
forests who, arriving here daily,
tell stories Of being overtaken by
the flames and compelled to flee
safety. Immense trees which have
stood for centuries have been de-
stroyed. Those who have witnessed
the present fires say the sight of
these huge blazing trees as they
topple over with the noise Of thun-
der presents a scene both grand
and terrible. Animals OF every
kind can be seen fleeing before the
flames and in numerous cases deer,
bewildered with fright, will rush
headlong into the fiery furnace to
their destruction.
Priest Lake, in Northern Idaho,
is now surrounded by forest fires
and the settlers are compelled to
leave nearly everything behind
and escape in boats by way Of the
lake. Along the Salmon river the
miners have made their way out
by trail to the railroad at North
port, leaving their cabins and ef-
fects behind to be destroyed. 1t
will be several weeks before the
trains on the Mullen branch of the
northern branch will be running,
owing to the bridges burn ing out,

Possibilities of Cuba.

The sugar production of Cuba, enor-
nous as it now is, can be increased ten
fold. And by the aid of modern i'm
provements in the method of manufac-
ture sugar can be produced so cheaply
there that no other country in the world
can fairly compete with it. Only tithe
of the lands adapted TO sugar is now
under cultivation. Coffee growing,
which was once in the front rank of its
industries, has now fallen to matter
of small Importance. With capital. aud
confidence in the honesty and good will
of the government, this industry could
again be put upon a profitable footing

ical products from this source. Bananas,

Some time ago there was dance in a
Canadian settlement for the benefit of
the settlers and their wives. Most of
the married ladies had babies with
them, whose noisy pervorsity required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swing of their souls pleasure
in the dance. So number of young men
present CALAMITY volunteered to watch
over the refractory infants, so that their
mothers could indulge without let or
hindrance in the sweets of the Light
fantastic exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and
confidingly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges to
the care of those mischieyous young ras-
Gals than they commenced stuffing the
infants, changing the clothing and CIV
ing one the apparel of another, till all
were transmogrified.
The dance and the music continued
into the 1--WE sma' hours, and then it
was time to go home The lights were
lowered, and each mother hurriedly
took baby, in the dress of her own,
and started for home, which, in many
instances, was 10 or 10 miles away.
The following morning there was a
prodigious row in the settlement. Moth
ers discovered what had occurred, and
then commenced some of the tallest fe-
male pedestrianism on record. Living
rs they did miles apart, it required two
full days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the mothers to
their naturally sweet dispositions.
Those young men never venture into
that settlement now It wouldn't be
safe. Montreal Star
