SEA AND SAIL.

COWES, Aug. S.-The regatta of the
Royal London Yacht club today marked
the opening of the Cowes week of 1886
There are four yachts more flying the
stars and stripes in these waters than in
1895. The Britannia, Ailsa and Satanita
started in the race for yachts exceeding
forty rating. The course is fifty miles,
Britannia was first home, Ailsa second,
Satanita third, but Caress won the time
allowance.
Meteor's new bowsprit is to be altered
before she races again.
The Post expresses regret at the abb
sence of any first-class American yacht
from the Cowes comet this year.

The size Is an That Is in Doubt.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Aug. 3.-The
size Of the Democratic majority seems
to be all that remains in doubt with re-
gard to the result of today's state cleo
tic9-
Because of the slow process of count
ing the votes under the new ballot law,
ratur-s are necessarily slow in coming
in, but there is no doubt of a complete
Democratic victory.
Incomplete returns from about half
the counties received so far indicate
Democratic gains in all but Mobile and
Macon. In the former the Democrats
appear to have lost some 500 votes by
stay at homes, but the county is in the
Democratic column by 500 majority.
In Macon county. which gave Oates
a majority of 500 in 1894, the result is
close and doubtful.
The Populists on the other hand have
carried Tuscaloosa county by LOCO ma
jority. 1t gave Kolb 200 majority two
years ago
Marshall county, which went for Kolb
by 500, is also close and probably Dem
ocratic.
Lee county, which had Populist ma
jority Of 800, is like Marshall.
Chambers county, with 400 majority
for KoIb in 1894, is in the Democratic
column.
Talapoosa county, with 500 majority
for Kolb a the last election, is close,
and NAV be Democratic.
Fayefte. another Populist county. is
in the doubtful column, as are also
Coosa and DekaIb.
In the counties which Governor Oates
carried two years ago, there have been
increased majoTities in all so far heard
from except two.
In the black belt, every county will
rol! I'D its usual large Democratic ma
jority, ranging from 5000 to 5000 each.
Jeerson. which gave Oates less than
100 majority. will give Johnston prob
ably 500 majority.
Green county increases its Democratic
majority.
The same is true of nearly every
north Alabama county. In this section.
where the PoDulists are stronger than
elsewhere in the state. the party lost
heavily. The negroes of north Ala
bama generally voted for Goodwin, but
the number Of Populists who voted for
Johnston was larger than the negro
vote cast for Goodwin.

larger than that of Governor Oates two
years ago, which was $4,000 l think

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Post pub

which it says:
1.-THE maintenance of British rights
in America, Africa and Asia may at

ing America, France and Russia. 1t
behooves us, therefore. to consider our
relations with other powers. 1t is a
fact that in January the question CT

was mapped cut by a ss.rategist most
