Hall offers $4,7O0 in prizes for the
winners and record breakers who may

RUSSIA OPPOSES FORCE.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch from
Constantinople to the Herald says:
The return Of the Russian ambassador
M. Niedloff created mild f1utter OF
speculative excitement, as he is the
bearer Of the latest directions of the
car for the future policy of Russia.
The general opinion here is that Rus
STA has not changed her policy Of
pressure to obtain the necessary re-
forms In conjunction with the other
powers, but that she will show equal
firmness against force being used.
The powers will, in the opinion Of a
high diplomat, formulate excessive de-
mands and be prepared to accept
much less than they ask.
A dispatch from Canea, Crete, states
that a gendarmerie organization has
arrived there and has quelled the ex-

UNIFORM YACHTING.
CALL FOR THE FORMATION OF AN
AMERICAN YACHTING LEAGUE.
Necessity For Such a League Apparent
And no Doubt Great Benefits Would
Result From It.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Herald
said this morning: A special meeting
OF the New York Athletic club will
be held on the 22nd for the purpose
or considering the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
vening delegates from different Yacht
CLUBS throughout the country, with a
view of organizing the Yacht Racing
League of America. AS at present.
existing rules in the different clubs
are SO at variance with each other
that yachtsman having decided to
build his yacht hardly knows in what
class he will sail excepting in one Sec
ton of the country, especially as not
only does the classification differ but
also the system of measurement.
The younger clubs provide rules for
their small yachts which do not fully
apply to the larger ones, and in their
attempts to open regattas for all sizes
of vessels there is a complication fire.
quently brought about very difficult
for the regatta committee to answer.
Similar difficulties constantly arise
from the fact that the yacht clubs of
New York sail under a different clas.
sification and system of measurement
from those around Boston, and still
another system is used on the great
lakes. That the yachtmen Of the
country are now ripe for a movement
OF this nature may be seen from the
fact that local unions and Yacht rae
Ing associations have been formed
which have resulted in benefit TO the
clubs and to their members. n 10
Win an idea of determining all the
ullncuitles which the smaller unions
are oDiiged to meet that this call will
pe ISSUED today. The aim Of the
yacht racing league will be to estab-
fish uniform classification, system of
measurement and racing rules for
the promotion Of yacht building. the
encouragement and elevation of tho
sport and the preservation of the
yachting history and racing records
or the yachts Of America, all under
one governing body, this body to be
composed of the ablest men in this
sport
Inc great benefits to be derived
from action Of this character. saw
the men who have been active in cali
ing next Tuesdays meeting, especially
when under the fostering of such an
organization, would produce results
even beyond the hopes OF the origi-
mai promoters Of the movement
1t would be the means, it was as
serted at the club house last night
or bringing together the yachtmen
from, all parts of the country. giving
them an opportunity to exchange
ideas in the interest of the snort
thereby creating a fraternal feeling
which snail add to rather than de,
tract from the interest with which
they will race their yachts.
similar organization which has
been in existence in Great Britain for
years has resulted in great benefits to
yachting and is managed by the most
prominent yachtsmen, the prince of
Wales being president of the organ
ization. 1t makes the rules to govern
all questions pertaining to yacht rae
ing and its influence has not only been
wide but in every way admirable.

LOUISIANA PIE HUNTERS.
Waiting For The Call OF The State
Committee!

New Orleans, Dec. 1.-THE colored
statesmen are dropping in in ones and
twos at Republican headquarters on
Decatur street, some of them being
from considerable distance in the
country. While there isn't word
spoken, it is patent that the thoughts
of all are fixed on the anticipated cal
ling Of the State central committee
for the purpose of electing successor
to the late Thomas A. Cage. Mr..
Herwig's quarters are comfortable
and cozy these frosty days, and the
patriots know a good thing when they
find it, and finding it hold on. Be-
sides that Mr.. Herwig's hospitality is
Catholic and permits of all shades OF
radicals to gather beneath his official
roof, To that end, there are those Of
all factions to be met with on Decatur
street.
Blunt is regular chair warmer. He
was read out of the regular party,
and is not popular, yet the little fell
low is a steady patron of the stove in
the Herwig headquarters. 1t is said
that Blunt will soon leave for Cuba,
where he will head company Of col
ored men who are thinking Of going
to fight for Cuban independence.
G. G. Antoine was a visitor today.
Antoine has lost his grip on affairs
and is clearly back number. Law
yer Jones, of Iberyille, was another
of the country delegates that just
dropped in" Jones is considered
quite a power in his own district and
may have a good deal to say about
the craftsmanship of the committee.
A man that claims to be pretty
"close" to Mr.. Herwig said today,
'sThe committee will be called togeth-
er inside Of the next ten days, and Fee
lix Herwig will be the chairman, if
he wants it." !.
docs he want itT' was queried. No
reply was made to this question. Al
though denied, there is no doubt in
the world but that a good deal Of quiz
ct canvassing is going on relative to
the head of the state committee. Mr..
Herwig so clearly outclasses any 9th
er man who might have the temerity
to run as a candidate In opposition
to the former, that it is not possible
to draw comparisons. Given Mr.. Her
wig is a candidate, then the result is
a foregone conclusion, as Judge Leon
ard is the only man that might run on
even terms, and it is admitted by the
friends Of the latter that he has no in
tention of putting himself forward as
a candidate.
Col. Frank Wicker has been ap-
pointed member of committee that
will lay before Congress certain fig
ures and other data relative to the
sugar industry for the purpose Of IN
fiuencing legislation The Farmers
National congress at its sixteenth an
nual session recently made certain con-
gressional committee appointments
and the name of Col. Wicker was In
Glued. Col. Wicker has well found
ed reserve of valuable information on
the question Of the sugar industry,
that he can place at the service of any
body of men or Of congressional
committee If needs be, and his extens-
i've knowledge Of statistics and the
compilation Of government data will
make his presence on the particular
committee quite an acquisition.
