able for either beauty or speed, nor could
it have raced with fox terrier, let
alone the Empire State Express
From that rude beginning blossomed
out the great ice-yacht the Scud, which
once sailed a mile in half a minute with
a latteen rig in d bowling gale. When
this feat was accomplished one man was
out on the weather runner holding on TO
the shroud, and the man at the tiller was
hanging on by his eye lids, afraid TO
breathe. One of the men on this occas-
ion tried to pray, but as all he could
think of was, Now 1 lay me-" he gave
up the attempt and devoted himself to
hanging on like grim death. That was a
race in a squall.
The ice boat of a few years ago was
duck boat, of very primitive type, with
three runners all Furnished and sharp
ened. This .oat was quite expensive and
led up to the present ones Of great cost.
Nowadays the boat that races with the
Empire State Express has runners CT

ging of the finest quality Of flexible silver
steel. The sails of the new craft are as
elegantly made as the muslin of the De-
fender, and the same trouble is taken to
secure that exquisite wilderness SO notice
able in the yachts than sail for the Amer
ica's cup.
The best results have been obtained
from the craft that carries only a baby
jib, just for balancing purposes. Her
mansail gives her the motive power. II
has a very high peak, like that of an up
to-date racing catb9at, and the rigging is
OF finest wire. TIRE runners are OF cast
steel and the spars are hollow.

by the very heavy boats, the bigger the

ice yacht for racing purposes must be
twenty-eight feet long with her backbone
in one piece
1t will not do for a sportsman of small
nerve to try ice racing, or for one who
is used to the old immense jib and a spirit
sail TO attempt it. With this odd craft the
boom projected so far over the stern that

JACKSON DAY AT COLUMBUS.
Democratic Leader of Combine Acted
As Toastmaster.

Columbus. O.. Jan. S.-There were over
300 plates turned at the Jackson day ban
quet here tonight.
Allen o. Myers, the Democratic leader
III the coalition fight against Hanna, was
senator The first thing after the menu
was a telegram from the Democratic COM
mittee of Los Angeles, urging the Ohio
Democratic legislators to vote for a free
silver. or any other Republican, to beat
Hanna The senatorial issue was the
leading point of interest in all the
speeches
General A. ]. Warner, president of the
American Bimetallic league, urged the
Democrats to stand together for the de-
feat Hanna, and relieve the defeat of
last November that was due to Hanna
Allen w Thurman said the defeat of
Hanna would prevent Objectionable legis-
iation IN the present congress and best
serve the cause of free silver.
Hon. j. A Norton was very severe on
Hanna, and said that the fight now waged
by the coalition of Democrats and Repub-
IicanS in Ohio against Hanna was as hard
and as great a battle as ever Andrew
Jackson had fought.
John r. Mclean sent from Washington
a long letter on the work of Jackson, con-
Guiding with the following paragraph: TT
is a pleasant duty to bear witness to the
grand fight made by the Democratic par
ty of Ohio in the recent contest for gov
ernor and the legislature. If they have
not in a single year established their as
tendency, they have land the ground

standing together as one man, the move

MOSES P HANDY PASSED AWAY,
WON DISTINCTION AS A WAR
CORRESPONDENT.
His Last Work Was Done In Paris
AS Special American Commits
sioner to Next Paris Exposition.

Hotel Bon Air. Augusta, Ga, Jan. s.
Major Moses P. Handy died at noon to-
day. The remains will be taken to
Berlin, Md. for burial.
Major Handy was stricken with the
illness which ended with his death
While he was preparing to leave Paris
for America, after completing his work
as commissioner to the exposition
Never a very strong man, the strain
of his position had told heavily on
his constitution, and he was advised by
his physicians to give up the more
trying work of the mission. But he
persisted until two days before the date
set for sailing, when he was overcome
by what appeared to be temporary
weakness, which caused him to post
Done his departure. He was nervously
broken down, and his condition was
rendered worse by impaired circulation
and faulty heart action.
The French physicians advised abso-
Lutte rest, and he remained in France
for two weeks. Before he got to New
I ork, he Succumbed again, but pulled
himself together and came to Washing
ton, and went to Chicago. In Chicago
he appeared to gain vitality, but his
pride and interest in his mission led
him to plunge into the work of prepar-
ing his report. It was no surprise to
cumbed while on his way to Washing
ton, congestion of the lungs and kid
neys increasing the gravity of the at
tack. He was removed to Georgia
where he lost strength gradually, and
while his friends hoped to the end that
his courage would save him, they were
warned that the chances were all
panied him to the south, and his son,
Mr.. W NJ. Handy, left Chicago for
Georgia Thursday.
Major Moses P. Handy was born at
Wadsworth, Benton county Mo-. his
father being Rev. ]. w. K Handy, a
prominent Presbyterian clergyman.
The family left Missouri for Virginia
when Major Handy was a child and
he was reared and educated in the
latter state. While under age he
entered the confederate service and
served with gallantry during the
closing months Of the war. He
was employed by the New York Trib-
bune As special correspondent during
the Cuban troubles, and won distinc-
ton by his report of the Virginius mas
sacre. Later he became managing edi-
otr Of the Philadelphia Times, and
subsequently editor of the PHILADELPHIA
Daily News He was one of the foun-
ders, and for many years president of
the Clover club of Philadelphia. He
moved to Chicago in 1893, to accept the
position of chief of the bureau of pub
licity and promotion of the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition. At the close of
the fair he went to New York and en-
gagged in literary work and newspaper
correspondence for a year. He returned
to Chicago as the editor of the Times
Herald in 1895. when the paper was
purchased by Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat. Last
May Major Handy was appointed by
President Mckinley as special commits
sioner to the Paris exposition, where he
rendered valuable service.

FREE SILVER CONFERENCE.
Leaders of the Various Parties Meet
at Washington.


Washington. Jan. S.-Leaders of. the
various parties advocating the free
coinage of silver were in conference at
the capitol today. The first meeting
was held in the committee room of
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic national committee.
and there were present, in addition to
Senator Jones, Senator Butler of North
Carolina, chairman of the national
committee of the Populist party; Hon.
A. P. Towne, chairman of the national
committee of the Silver Republican
party; Senator White, Congressman
Bailey and Hon. Marcus Daily, Demo-
Gratis; Senators Teller, Pettigrew, Can
non and Mantle, and Representative
Hartman, Silver Republicans, and Sem
ator Allen, POpulist.
Later in the day there was another
conference in which the Democrats
did not participate.
The meeting was not final and no
authorized statement was made of the
proceedings beyond the announcement
that the meeting was merely incidental
to Mr.. TONNES visit to Washington.
1t is understood. however, that the
principal subject discussed was the
devising of a plan for holding the sill
sional campaign next fall, and that
while no absolute conclusion was
reached, it was decided that local sill
yer leaders of whatever party affilia-
ton should be advised of the conyic-
ton of the national leaders of the
necessity of maintaining a solid front
against the Republican party as TO
the organized advocate of the policy of
maintaining the gold standard. The
chairmen of the various parties are
said to be agreed as to the wisdom and
Importance of concerted action.

as it has done so far, the Democratic
victory OF 1900 will include in its tro-
plies not only the presidential chair.
In an interview this evening rela-
tive TO the acton of the Democratic
state central committee of Massachu-
sets, Mr.. Williams expressed himself
as not surprised. Said he:
THE minority has been defeated as
il should have been. Their claim Of
irregularity is absurd. The rule that
the old committee should make the new
roll and control the temporary organ
ization was simply rule for those who
made il and cannot be binding in the
new committee. 1t appears that the
organization was made by a. majority
of uncontested delegates which leaves
the minority no grounds on which TO
base their bolt. I do not think the mi
nority will have any 1olicsFing.'
During the evening seversl speakers re-
ferred TO Mr.. Williams as q popular candi-
date for the vice presidency, and the
combination. Bryan and Williams was
chered to the echo.

LEE WON'T GO WITH BLANCO
NO INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED ON
THAT SCORE.
Denied That Proposals Have Been
Made By Blanco to Cuban Insur-
gent Leaders.

Havana, Jan. S.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press was told by
United States Consul General Lee to-
day that he had heard the rumor that
he (Gen. Lee) was TO accompany Cap
tain General Blanco when the latter
took the field, and that a conference
was TO be held with General Maxine
Gomez, but that he had not received
any instructions on the subject from
his government.
The Madrid government has caused a
credit of 4O,0000,000 pesetas to be placed
to Cen Blanco's credit for the ex-
penses of the war until the end of May.
Ell Paid says that the visit of in
spection TO the municipality of Glen
fuegos had disclosed a shortage in the
cash of 142. 900 pesetas. The conserva-
tive authorities have been dismissed
from office, the paper says, and
autanomists have been appointed to fill
their posts ad interim.

JACKSON DAY IN DENVER.
George Fred Williams of Boston,
Principal Speaker.

Denver, Colo, Jan. S.-Hon. George
Fred Williams of Boston, was one of
the principal speakers at the annual
meeting Of The Jacksonian club at
Wlers Hall in this city tonight Gov
erncr Alva Adams made the opening
speech. after which Mr.. Williams was
introduced.
Mr.. Williams began with a few re-
marks on the power of the banks in
politics, relating in that connection the
story of President Jackson's reply to
the advocates OF the re-chartering of
the bank of the United States when
they warned Kim that the bank might
prevent his reelection. Referring TO
the present administration, Mr.. Will
Jams said he believed Secretary Gage
was honest and that ne truly repre-
scented the president. who appointed
him 70 Office. He declared that the
propositions Of the secretary present
ed the issue of the national bank cur
rency against the currency of the gov
eminent. Said he:
THE legitimate result of the issue
precipitated by Secretary Gage is to
turn the question from bimetailism to
paper money. It looks as if that is to
be the issue in 1900"
The speaker warned the Democrats
against allowing any new issues TO be
II
A plank that might win back the
gold Democrats. he said, would drive
many silver Democrats away and all
the silver Republicans. The main ques-
tons that interest the American peo-
pie. he said, were clearly and bravcly
handled in the platform of 1896 and
the party must stand or fall by the
lttterances Of that convention. And as
for the candidate in 1900" continued
Mr. williams. The man has already
been named. He IS William j. Bryan.
it is no more necessary that the
friends of government by the people
should have one platform than that
they should have one candidate. I re-
gard IL as fortunate that our candidate
was not elected IN 1896, for with Re-
publican congress, the sins of the Re-
publicans would have been visited
upon the Democrats. If the policy of
the Republicans continue to bear fruit

FREAK OF INSANITY.
Excitement Over a kidnapping Case
In Iowa.


Cedar Rapids. Ia. Jan. Sat Cedar
Falls this evening Earl Coleman, Is
years old. son of Presiding Elder e. M.
Coleman, was kidnapped in front of his
fathers residence by Fred Champlain,
who started toward the woods with
him. Cashier Miller of the First Ma
tional bank attempted to rescue the
boy, but Champlain drove him back
with a revolver, and before a posse
could be organized the pair had disap-
peared.
The alarm was at once given and
party began securing the woods. At
1850 tonight Champlain was discovered
in the basement of the opera house, and
for a long time he held the excited
crowd at bay He was armed heavily,
and as he was apparently insane, it
was feared that he had killed the boy,
but shortly after midnight he came
from the opera house basement and was
soon in the city Jail. A bowling mob
has surrounded it and he may be
lynched before morning. The boy was
not injured.
