SUSPENSION OF ENGLISH NAVAL MAN
dEUVREs.
Tfmes-London. Lune II.

IfWeS-LondOn, June 2I.
The statement of the First Lord of the
Admiralty in the House of Commons on
the subject oi the suspension Of the naval
manouvres was Of a complete and salts.
factory character. It was not wholly
due to this, however, but, more directly,
to blocking notice put down by Mr..
Tomlinson, that the apprehension gem
orally entertained OF motion for the
adjournment on the Welsh coal strike
was not realized. Mr.. Goschen took the
House quite frankly into his confidence.
He read the notice which had been sent
to the ports intimating that, IN view of
the continuance of the labor conflict in
the South Wales COllIeries, it had been
decided that "it would not be expedient
to trench upon the reserve Of coal by the
naval man9uvres," and that cons z.
quently the partial mobilization of the
feet, to which the country has been
accustomed annually for eleven years
past, would not take place. The Chan.
mel squadron and the coastguard or
reserve squadron will cruise as usual
and carry on independently their tactical
exercises and gunneTy practice, though
without strateRIcal plan,
The Admiralty, though it has never
had in Its possesst a larger stock OF
steam coal than at the present time,
could not look with indifference on the
restriction OF the supply, and the conse.
quent rise in price, amounting already
as was stated in our columns Yesterday,
to about one hundred per cent. These
fats made it a serious matter to sane.
tion the consumption of quantity esti-
mated at 50, 900 tons of steam coal for an
object which, however desirable, cannot
be regarded as absolutely indispensable
The navy has been latterly supplied from
the non associated collieries, the pro.
duction Of the associated collieries OF
South Wales having been to a large
extent paralyzed by the conflict with the
men. But there has recently been some
fear that the for mer class might be
drawn into the struggle. Mr.. Goschen
had. OF course, to reckon with that con.
tingency as well as to take into account
the possibility that a sudden demand
might arise for the despatch of a power
lul naval force to protect British inter
ests in some part Of the world.

NATIONAL GUARDS CONDITION.
1T WILL BE BETTER AND STRONGER WHEN
THE VOLUNTEER FORCE HAS
BEEN DISBANDED

The calamity -howlers are still at work among
members OF the National Guard. and whenever
they get audience they tell doleful tales and
draw gloomy pictures about the condition OF the
States troops, the REORGANIZATION OF the Guard
and the disintegration OF the various commands.
The most popular Of these pictures Is the one which
shows the various regiments OF New-York brigades
reduced to two hundred three hundred men,
This story has been told by professional mischief
makers and disgrunted Guardsmen until many
well-informcd citizens really believe that the En-
pire State is to-day without National Guard. AS
a matter Of fact the Guard Is. according to state
ments made by the men who are In the best posi-
ton to know, in better condition than 1t was be-
fore the various organizations volunteered and
entered the United States service.
In speaking this subject General Charles r.
Roe the commanding officer OF the States forces.
said few days ago: "Ony small percentage Of
the Guard to the front. The men who did
not accompany their regiments will become Guards
men again, and many OF the men who Joined the
provisional regiments will Join the regiments
which will their old places Undoubtedly
some OF the who enlisted because they wanted
to 10 to the front will wish TO remain in the regi
ments which they joined few months ago. Be
tween these three bodies OF men we shall have more
than enough men to bring the commands up to a
larger membership than they had when the war
oroke out. and the men will be better than they
were, because they have had much experience
The re-establishment of the Guard Will be accom-
plished without the least trouble and the men who
the OF the question the least cause for
alarm"
Despite the fact that orders which cover every
point OF the subject have been issued from the
office OF the Adjuta General the question Is
asked again and again. What will become OF the
ofiicers?" The officers will resume their places In
their regiments and companies. unless they wish
to resign. and the officers of the provisional regi~
mcnts unless places be found for them In the
old regiments. will be supernumerary. When the
9Th Regiment Is mustered out of the United states
service October 81 Colonel Greene will return 10

an election will take place to fill the office made
vacant by the resignation of Colonel Seward IL Is

YACHTSMEN ON THE CLYDE.
MAY SEND A CHALLENGE FOR THE
SAVANNAH CUP
OYSTER BAY CLUB MIGHT WITHDRAW IN FAVOR
OF THE scoTCHMEN-NEw CONDITIONS
TO Re MADE FOR THE CONTEST.

OF THE SCOTCHMEN-NEW CONDITIONS
TO Re MADE FOR THE CONTEST.
II Is reported from Glasgow that a challenge for
the Seawanhaka Cup has for some time been con-
sidered by the yachtsmen on the clyde. The CLUB
to make the challenge would be the clyde Corinth-
ian. In which nearly all the amateur sailors or the
Clyde are enrolled. The cup is now held by the
Royal ST. Lawrence Yacht Club. at Montreal. Can
ada and the Scotch yachtsmen have been regard
ing the ease with which challenging twenty-footer
could be shipped on tho Allan Line from glasgow
and launched at Montreal. II would be almost from
door to door OF the two clubs.
There is little doubt that the acceptance OF
Scotch challenge could easily be arranged at the
present time notwithsta nding the fact that the
Seawanhaka Cornthan Yacht Club Of Oyster
Bay and New-York. has put In Its claim for next
years race. and Is now the challenger accepted by
the yacht club at Montreal. After the last race
the Seawanhaka club had at first no intention Of
challenging for a third shy at the cup. and 1t was
only to prevent the Inland Lake Yachting Assocla-
TONS challenge from being accepted that the sea-
wanhaka claim was put in at the last moment
As Mr. Sherman secretary of the Regatta Com
mittee said at the time: "Of course "hat we
would Ike best would be an English Challenge.
We have no desire TO see the cup won by the West
ern vachtsmen I'm which case 1t would be too FAR
awav from the coast and English yachtsmen might
not care to transport their boats thousahu mics
inland. in addition 10 sending them across the
ocean II the cup got out West 1t woud be prac-
tically lost
AS Mr.. Sherman was UNDERSTOOD 10 say ti''
his clubs challenge was put in because there was
nothing Of the kind coming from Great Britain. VI

some quarters as the peer OF all the mlodie-

was not as good as that Of McDuffee Owing

ton of supremacy will remain undecided until

Among the sprinters the same uncertainty exists

according to those figures. he Is the sprinting
champion of the year. with 1S9 points to his
credit. Bald is given second place with 100

cording TO the brotherhood figures. kimbIe
seems to have the best Of 1t. Gardiner won the
most hrsts on the circuit but he did not do 80
well in the big races where the points counted
most The season has shown that Bald and
Taylor are the fastest riders in the country
and the majority are of the opinion that the
colored man Is the faster rider Of the two. II
Taylor IS successful in his record trial during
the winter the general public will recognize him
as the champion rider of the year. So the ex-
wheeboy of the South Brooklyn Wheelmen mas
made a decided record in a year. The points
scored by the leading riders on the circuit during
the outdoor season are as follows:
