INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATORS.
Board Organized With Lord Htrschell
 President.

Quebec, Aug. 23.-The ice is broken, the somewhat rigid British formalities of preliminaries organization are past, the commissioners have become ac- euaipted, and the body of international arbitrators are now ready for the hard work before them.
 The ceremonies of organization took place in the parliament buildings to- day, and while they were characterized by considerable degree of dignity, the utmost degree of friendliness was man. ifest in every word and movement and an amicable adjustment of all questions is predicted by both the American and British commissioners. At noon the commissioners met in private session in the legislative assembly, the upper house of the Quebec parliament, all of the commissioners excepting Congress- man Dingley and Sir James Winter be- ing present. After the formal exchange of credentials Senator Fairbanks, as chairman of the American delegation, named Lord Herschell as permanent president of the joint commission.

Secretary Alger in New York.

New York, Aug. 23.-Secretary of War Alger arrived at the Fifth avenue hotel en route from Washington to Camp Wikoff, L. l., to-day. When seen by a reporter, General Alger said he made up his mind last Monday night to visit the soldiers at Camp Wikoff and make personal investigation of adverse criticisms that have been made. This morning he called on Pres ident Mckinley and was excused from attendance at the meeting of the cab inet.
 T will start the first thing in the morning for Camp Wikoff, said Gen eral Alger, and will stay one, two or three days if necessary to make a com plete investigation of the facts. If I can make one soldier a little more com fortable, I will feel repaid for the trouble of the trip.'

Spanish Prisoners Here.

Seventeen Spanish prisoners were taken through this city on the Wash ington express about 2:15 last night on the way to Portland, Me. The Span- iards were in one end of a combination smoker and in the other compartment were the United States regulars, who were guarding the lot of prisoners. They were brought from Fort McPher- son. Ga, and left there Sunday evening last. The Spaniards were lying on the floor and on the seats, all of them asleep when the train reached New Ha- ven. Five of them were officers. On each platform of the car was soldier on guard, each with a Krag-Jorgensen rifle and with well filled cartridge belts. The guards were nine in number under command of a first lieutenant, all mem bers of the Thirteenth United States in fantry. The Spaniards were among those first captured at the breaking out of the war.

BODY or JOEL JOHNSTON.
That Found at south End Yesterday
 Morning.

Morning.
 Frank Welch of Waterbury, a guest at the South End hotel, about 8 o'clock yesterday morning found the body of a man lying on the beach at South End just in front of the hotel. Medical Ex- aminer Eliot was called and after re- viewing the remains ordered them re- moved to H w. Crawford & Co.'S un- dertaking rooms on Grand avenue, where they were identified last night as those of a Norwegian named Joel Johnston. The deceased was an en- graver employed by the Ford company, and lived on Lafayette street. He had been missing since Friday night, when he started for Lighthouse Point, ask ing one of his friends to go with him. The latter did not care to go, however, and Johnston went alone.
 The body was identified last night by Detective Owen Daly, to whom a de- scription of the missing man had been given, and also by young man named G. A. Riederick, living on Chestnut street, and Martin Schultz, two of his friends Johnston lived on Lafayette street with Christopher Nelson, a bar tender at Throms hotel, No. S6 State street and 311 Water street, and all though the body was much bloated and difficult to identify when found, a piece of paper with these two streets and numbers on was found in one of his pockets. When Johnston's body was found yesterday ali the clothing was on except his coat and hat. A watch, quite valuable, one which he always carried, was also missing. On the body were black trousers, a black vest, a striped shirt, white collar, necktie and pair of tan shoes.
 Johnston's wife and his friend Niel- son were in New York yesterday look ing for him, thinking that perhaps he had gone there, where he had friends. They had not returned yet last evening About two weeks ago Johnston sold his household goods and expected to soon return to Norway, where his young son is now living with his grandmother There were no marks of violence on the body, and although the watch was zone and this might lead to suspicionsN of foul play, it isAthought to have been simply a case of drowning. The last seen of the deceased was at Lighthouse Point about 10 o'clock Friday night when he was seen by a man who knew him and who said last night that John ston then appeared to have been drink ing considerably.

track. Lewis, however, had gradually worked to the rail, and as they turned into the home stretch he was in the coveted hard ground, and had Marti- mas flying. He was already In second place at the quarter, two lengths in front of Rusher, who was a neck in front of MT. Clay, who was In 0 bunch with Dr. Eichburg, Sir Hubert and His Lordship. Now the last furlong pole was reached and little Maher saw Mar timas rush by on the firm, hard footing against the rail, while the tired lilly un- der him was stopping the deep dust, and Autumn, MT. Clay and Dr. Eich- burg with Sloan on the latter finishing in his best style, was trying to wrest the second place away from him. For an instant Autumn had his nose in front of the Ally and then stopped as if he had been shot and finished away back. Then Maher worked harder than ever and although he could not catch the Canadian in front who won easily by a couple of lengths, he could and did get the second money by half a length There was pretty struggle for third place between Williams on MT. Clay and Sloan on Eiohburg, and the former got it by a head. The remainder of the bunch was so close together at the end that 1t was impossible to separate the horses.
 At the conclusion of the great race the starter appeared and said that there was nothing the matter with the horses, and that the boys caused all the delay at the start for which he had fined most of them s200 apiece and had suspended Sloan, Clawson, Penn and | Murphy for a week.

FROM SEAT OE WAR.
The Viciksbarg, Battle Scared, Anchors
 at Newport.

at Newport
 Newport, R. l., Aug. 23.-The United States gunboat Vicksburg, Commander A. B. H. Lillie. arrived in port this morning, five days from Key West, and anchored off the training station. The Vicksburg is fresh from the seat of war, having been under the fire of Havana batteries only ten days ago. when the preliminaries were settled, For more than ninety days out of the 113 of the war this vessel kept watch before Ha- vana, the routine being varied only by the search for Cerveras squadron and by chasing blockade runners off the Cuban coast, during which period she captured three prizes unaided and par ticipated in the taking of two others.
 The Vicksburg is not without some scars. Five times she got within range of the heavy guns of Havana and had to haul off from the enemys shells un- til 1t got to be an old story. It was nervous work, with no compensation, for the four-inch rifled guns of the ship were not able to reach the forts. In one of these engagements, when at tempting to cut out a schooner, a shell from the enemy exploded in the rig ging of he gunboat, cutting wire ropes and signal haliiards and scattering dust about the decks, but fortunately no one was injured.
 The Vicksburg will probably remain in port for some weeks to refit and to recuperate the crew, of whom some have not had full nights rest in four months.

NEW HAVEN YACHT CLUB
ANNUAL SUMMER REGATTA IN TEE
 HARB0R YESTERDAN
A Most Successful Event-Pleasant Day and Strong Wind-Races Close-wit- messed by a Large Crowd-The Harbor Filled With saiIboats--The Naphtha Launch Race Omitted.

The New Haven Yacht club held it's
 summer regatta yesterday. A better
 day could not have been had. The sun
 was bright and warm and a strong
 southerly wind blew steadily up the
 harbor. The races were sailed over the
 harbor courses, the longest being about
 six miles in length. The short course
 was out to the Black Buoy and return.
 All the races were over the larger
 course except the one between the open
 catboats twenty feet and under. The
 boats sailed over the courses twice.
 The regatta was most successful and
 was witnessed by large crowd of peo-;
 pie from the club house and the boats
 which dotted the harbor. A number of ladies gathered on the piazza of the
 club house and watched the start. The
 club house, the starting boats and sew eral of the pleasure craft were decor- ated with signal flags and pennants of all oolors and designs. The harbor was fairly filled with sailing boats of all kinds and sizes. These made fine ap-
 pearance from the shore. All the boats
 entered, except the Idea and the The
 mis, Guilford boat which arrived too late, started Shortly after the start the sloop Tettrys broke her halyardsf
 and had to stop. The start was made
 shortly after two, five minutes being ai- lowed between the different classes. The sloops were the first away, fol- lowed by the cabin cats and lastly the
 open cats The starts were good and
 little time was lost by the boats in reaching the line after the starting gun
 was fired.
 The open cats, twenty feet and un- der were the first to finish, the Com
 modore, one of the clubs boats, being the first to cross the line. This was sailed by H. F. Parmelee, son of Com | modore H. S. Parmelee. He lost some time in crossing the line in the wrong direction. The Even Mcintyre and the | Norma made a very close race cross- l ing the line almost together. By cor rected time, the Bridgeport boat, the l Norma, won in the time of 2 hours 2 minutes and 25 seconds; Commodore, | 2:03:49; Ewen Mcintyre, 2:06:31. The | sloops finished in the following order: | Typhon, 3:03:58; Lurene, 3:04:12; Made lene, 3:11:25; Aphrodite, 3:l4:27; Flyer, 3:17:S9. The Lurene won on her time l allowance, the Typhon being second, 1 and the Madeleine third. The Castanea was the first cabin cat to finish; time,
 3:10:04; with the Ripple second in 3:14:- | 01. By corercted time, the Castanea l won by 1 minute and 28 seconds. Of | the open cats over twenty feet in | length, Handy Andy won in 3:14.5S.. The Fleetwing met with an accident, but yet crossed the line in 3t2S.
 The races were in charge of the re- | gatta committee, consisting of c. w.. | Rawson, l.. A. Elliot and B. l.. Pheian.
 F. W. Gyon was timekeeper. They oc- cupied the Adrian, the use of which the
 Misses Kelsey and Graham kindly ten- dered to the committee for the after
 noon. Owing to the absence of one of | the naphtha launches, this race was not sailed.
