Coast-Across the Golden Gate and
Around the Seal Rocks.

presence of GO,O0 people. He plunged
into the waters on the Lime Point side
and landed at Fort Point. The dis
lance between these points as bird
would fly is one mile and half, but
Cavill swan seven miles. The sea was
choppy and he was compelled to cross
the current diagonally, being carried
at one time fully five miles out into
the ocean. 1t took him fully three
quarters of an hour to cross the strong
current that carries the waters out Of
the bay. Another half hour saw him
safely landed on the beach in front of
Lime Point.
Inspired by his success in this
undertakings feat which has never
been accomplished before, that is, to
the knowledge of the civilized world
Cavill issued an open challenge to all
Americans for long distance swim
ming match. He is very anxious to
try conclusion with the best swimmers
in the world and hopes to meet INITIAL

world, ere long.

/ he today. "You know, I have already
issued three challenges but the Yam.
kee boys will not respond" Young
Cavill is always in training. He will

DEMOCRATIC. SPLIT AvERTED.
Florida Electors Equally Divided
Between Gold and Silver.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, August A.
The threatened bolt of the silver Demo-
Gratis of Florida has probably been avert
ed by the action Of the State Executive
Committee in removing J. +. Welborne
and ]. y. Fisher, two gold electors. and
replacing them by F. b. Carter and r..
A. Burford. who are pronounced silver
men, thus dividing the electors evenly be-
tween gold and silver. AS originally
chosen, two electors were for gold and
two for silver. The State Executive Com
mittee. however, got rid of the two silver
electors and replaced them by gold men.
This maddened the silver Democrats and
they ordered a call for a State convention
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of naming
four silver electors, alleging that the gold
electors did not intend to vote for Bryan.
This action of the Silver Democrats
alarmed the Executive Committee, and
to-day two Of the gold electors were re-
moved and replaced by silver men. This
will probably satisfy the silver Demo-
Gratis and prevent a split.

document says: my wife Is thoroughly

as TO various benevolent and other insti-
tutions. and I am perfectly satisfied that
nv deyising to her all my estate, those
views and plans will be best carried out
in such manner as her own good judgment
may approve"
II is presumed that the reason for pro-
batting both wills is the fact that the last
one was executed Just at the commence
ment of Mr.. CARROTS long-continued Ill
ness. and in view of this fact, 1t was
deemed advisable to prove both the In
struments. As the widow is the residuary
devisee and legatee under both wills. the
fact of her proving both makes 1t evident
that she intends TO adopt the last one,
