Ten Eyck Not to Enter for the Races

Philadelphia, August 12.-Edward H.
Ten Eyck. who recently defeated Black
static at Henley and brought HI dia-
mond SOULS to this country, will not COM
pete in the National regatta to be held
on the Schuylkil river tomorrow and
Saturday. His father came to this posi-
tive determination this afternoon. He
says the young champion is out of con-
dition in consequence of the social func-
lions he has been obliged to attend, and
lack of practice since his arrival from
England. Ten Eyck was to have taken
two practice spins today, but after his
morning row., his hands, which are badly
blistered, began to bleed, and this brought
him and his parent to the resolution not
TO enter the youngster in the regatta.
They realize that the men entered for the
senior single event would be hard to beat
by any one not in the best shape. The
decision of the Ten Eycks has created
much disappointment among lovers of the
sport. Nevertheless. the regatta is sure
to be of exceeding interest.

Bicycle Races

Wilkesbarre, Pa, August 12-The ma
tional circuit races here today, under
the auspices Of the Westend Wheel
men, made the most successful meet
ever held in this part Of the state. Over
5000 people were present. All the
cracks were entered and there were
some surprises. In the two mile ma
tional championship professional the
prize was captured by a comparatively
unknown man, F.. c.. Hoyt, of Cam
bridge, Mass. in the good time of
4:16 2-5, each half mile being paced by
a different man. Earl Kiser was Sec
Ond and F. A. MacFarfand third. Bald,
Cooper, Butler n the rest were quite
out Of it.
Nat Butler won the mile open in
2:O7 2-5, beating out Gardner and
KiSer.
The one mile handicap professional
was won by c.. r. Newton, Of Stafford
Spring, Conn.
The amateur events were all well
contested. Eddie Bald paced by the
Dayton quad, broke the track record
of SO for the half, doing it in :55. Earl
Kiser, paced by the same quad, lowered
the track record Of 1855 for the mile
just a second.

The Indiana in the Dry Dock

Halifax, n. s., August 1.-THE
United States battleship ndian was
successfully placed in the drydock this
morning. Although the hour was ar
ly, hundreds witnessed the docking.
The Indiana left her mornings about
6 o'clock and steamed slowly into the
dock. Huge hawsers were attached to
were on each side Of the dock. They,
with the assistance of blocks and
tackle and hawsers, kept the vessel in
position until sufficient water had been
taken from the dock to allow the men
to commence the work Of snoring. I'M
mediately after the Indiana had been
docked -four marines off the ship were
ordered to do sentry duty. The work
of snoring the vessel was commenced
at $3.50 o'clock. The snoring has to be
done very slowly as it is the most i'm
portant feature in connection with the
docking a vessel. Two hundred of the
ships crew were placed at the dispo-
sal of Constructor Bolles and the man.
ager of the dock. In addition to these,
100 men had been engaged by the dry
lock company to assist in the work.
The Halifax wOrkmen attended to the
snoring. The battleship will remain in
dock over Sunday and will likely not
be ready to leave until mex Tuesday.
While the Indiana was being locked,
one Of the sailors fell overheard. He
disappeared and it was thought that
he had been drawn by the suction I'M
der the ship. There was some excite
ment for a time but the jack tar soon
came to the surface and a party of
sailors quickly rescued him.

The Southern Biblical Assembly

Asheville, N. c., August 1.-THE
Southern Biblical Assembly which has
been in session in this city during the
last ten days, is nov planning for 1898.
Today a meeting of members was held
and the following executive council
elected: President, Bishop Edward

others will follow southwark, with a
return series through the Atlantic
states, ending in Virginia.

Washington, August 1.-THE end Of
the Morgan incident came today when
the United States naval vessel Flora
came down from Long Island sound
towing the little powder schooner
Blanche Morgan to her destination at
New York from Bridgeport, Conn.,. The
officials of the war department had Sc
cured her release, and, probably To
avoid a suit for demurrage of the
schooner, which the American Ord
nance Company had threatened, the
schooner had the unusual honor of a
tow from a laval vessel which sought
to make up the time that the Morgan
had lost through being tied up by the
Bridgeport custom house officials.

Senator Hanna's Yacht Runs A ground

Jackfish, Ont, August Ex-senator NJ. A.
Hanna, and the party of pleasure seekers
accompanying him on a cruise of the
Great Lakes had a thrilling experience to-
day OF the wild northern coast of Lake
Superior. Their yacht, the Commanche,
a staunch vessel, went aground in Nipi-
gOn straits and stuck fast in the rocks
that abound in that region, for sixteen
hours. The accident occurred at mid
night last night, when the senator and
his guests We're comfortably slowed away
in their berthS. There was considerable
confusion for a time, but the captain soon
found that the yacht was not in a serious
position and all settled down to await the
arrival of tugs, which were ordered from
N1pigon, ten miles distant. The Com
manche was haule | into deep water at 4
O'Clock this after loon and resumed her
journey with all on board we'll. Beyond
a slight leak, the yacht was not harmed.
The miShap was caused by the pilot get
ting the yacht out of the channel.

movement of the company is only another
plan for getting the militia on the ground.
When they find that the miners will not
obey the Injunction and that the jails are
becoming crowded in this manner 1t is
expected that the sheriff will adjudge that
his deputies are not sufficient to cope with
the situation and he will be constrained
to call out the militia. This is the view
of the situpation taken by the leaders OF
the strikers now in camps.
This evening the strikers at Plum Creek
held a meeting and voted unanimously
to hold the fort, but not to resist arrest.
The resolutions say that if one man is
arrested they will have to arrest all.
The camp of the striking miners near
the mines of the Westmoreland and Penn
sylvania Gas Goa Companies at Irwin.
Pa. which were established yesterday,
has broken up and all but ten or twelve
of the men have gone back to their homes.
The cause of the d~isbanding of the little
army is attributed to the fact that the
people Of the neighborhood refused TO con-
tribute provisions and money for the
maintenance of the strikers. Solicitors
for provisions sent out from the camp
were invariably turned away empty
handed. The strikers last night became
discouraged and in little groups they
quietly took their departure, hungry and
foot sore after the long tramp of the day.
The committee in charge of the camp
stated today, however, that it was not
done with Irwin, but would return soon
with ample provision for a long stay, if
necessary. The miners who are at work
still insist that they will not strike.
AT 11:15 o'clock D.. M, Sheriff Lowry and
his deputies, numbering 100, left Turtle
Creek for Plum Creek. The distance they
will have to travel is about twelve miles,
and they expect to be on hand before the
strikers march on Plum Creek. The
sheriff is determined to carry out the
order OF the court and says he will surely
arrest the leaders as soon as the march
begins. If new leaders are substituted
they also will be gathered in. While the
big majority of the strikers are willing
to go to Jail INTERESTINGLY. there are a
few of the hOtheads who have announced
that they will not be taken alive. This
minority may be the means of causing
strife in the morning.
