dikers will board the Columbia in Seat

WILLIAMS YACHT SAILS.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE schooner
yacht Tampa, recently purchased by
the Emperor of Germany, will sail
from this point for Southampton to-
day, unless some unforeseen difficulty
OCCURS to prevent her departure.
The Yampa has been oyerhauled and
fitted for sea at Hawkins yard City
island, and is not in the best of shape
for a winter trip across the Atlantic.
The racing spars Of the Yampa,
which has been stored in Boston, were
recently shipped from that port by
steamer but her racing canvass will
be taken over by the yacht.
Captain John Burt will be in charge
of the vessel on the voyage across
and he is perfectly familiar with her
sea-going qualities.
When the Yampa leaves port it will
no doubt be regretted by many yachts
men, as in her numerous races and
long ocean cruises she had proven to
be thoroughly representative Amer

best possible care.

in the Cuban army, has arrived here
in the steamship Orisaba, from Ha-

desired postponement of the sale to
Enable Congress to take frther action
in the matter and also to afford the
president and attorney general time
to consider the position of the govern
ment in the sale. Judge Sheldon out
lined the positions of the representa-
tives of the bondholders, advocating
a pestponement of but thirty days
and opposed an extension of the time
to sixty days, stating their clients
were anxious to have their money.
In granting the sixty days extension,
Judge Sanborn said that he thought it
wise to give the government more
time.
The extension of the time will nee
essitate the re-advertising of the
sale, which will cost several thousand
dollars.
