STATE GOLF LEAGUE.

The Coming Tournament in Bridgeport.
Bridgeport, July 6,-There is every
reason to believe that the tournament of
the state league Of golf clubs which is
to be held at the links of the Brooklawn
club from July Is to July q. win be a
grand success. The golf committee Of
the club has already received entries
enough to insure its success, and the
date of closing is still ten days off.
There is good reason to believe that
at least fifteen clubs will enter for the
team championship and that at least
fifty will enter for the state champion
ship.
Among the prominent clubs which are
sure to be represented are the Fairfield
Country club of Greenwich, the Wee
Burn Of Stamford, the Hartford Golf
club, the New Haven Country club, the
Litchfield Country club, the Oxford Golf
club Of Manchester and the Washington
Golf club.
As the tournament is to last four days
the week will be a great one in golf1ng
circles, which means also society circles.
There will probably be some very inter-
estfng social events during the week and
many well known people from all parts
of the state are likely to attend
In view of the fact that the Fairfield
Country club has entered it has been
thought by some that the famous cham
pion, Findlay Douglas. might enter for
the state contest But it is generally un-
derstood that he will not enter. He viii
in all probability attend the meeting and
probably play with his club In the team
match. His presence will add consider
ably to the occasion, as he is one of the
greatest players in the country and is an
equal favOrite with one or two others
for the amateur championship, which is
now being contested in Chicago. Last
year Mr. Douglas won it easily, 1t is
to be hoped that he can do as well again,
as it would increase decidedly the inter-
est In his appearance in this city two
weeks from now

Pequot yachtsmen were once again
disappointed last evening at the non-ap-
pearance of the fleet of the Atlantic
Yacht club, which was expected to an
Choir in the Cove over night on its way
to New London for it's annual squadron
run. The fleet left Bridgeport at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, accompanied
by number of the boats of the Bridge
port Yacht club. Although the start
was little late the breeze was a SPLEEN
did one and the fleet passed on to New
London instead Of putting in here.
The most exciting contest of those be-
tween the different boats was that be-
tween the schooner yachts Amorita,
owned by W. Gould Brokaw of New
York, and the Sachom, owned by r. T.
Adams of Huron The Amorita arrived
first on the run from Larchmont to

ALTOONA, Penn. (speciaD. 5000
and 1000 bltulninous coal miners In the
Clsarfeld region went out on a strike for
an increase of two aud half cent? ton
In machine mining. All the mines in the
region shut down excepting those OF the
Berwind-White Company, and the miners
made strenuous effort to close these also.
Over 500 men, headed by q band, marched
to the BerNind-White works. The men
who refused to quit work were hooted at
and derided, but they stuck to their posts.
An effort will be made to close up the en-.

Because OF the strike the Buffalo, Roch-
ester and Pittsburg Railway abandoned
nil tranao except the hauling Of passenger
aud local freight trains. Nearly 1000 OF
the railway employees are out OF work. The
jherins of Clearfeld and Jefferson coun-
lies anticipate an outbreak of violence
among the strikers and are prepared to
lake vigorous action.
There is danger that the strike will ex-
END all over the bitumtnous field shipping

district are restless. Secret conventions
,ave been held at several places, and the

When Mr. Reed resigned hia seat In Con.
gress, and with It the Speakership, It was
an interesting speculation In official cir
cles here as to who would be his successor
in welding the gavel. The contest for the
coveted position did not become as e1cit-
Ing as many at flrst.thought that It would.
A number Of candidates were announced,
but their names were withdrawn, and the
selection of Mr.. Henderson was made prac-
tically unanimous.
David B. Henderson was born in Scot.
land ffty-nine yenrs ago, but he has lived
In this country since he was SIX years old.
he lost a leg in the Civil War, and for
seventeen years has been q memder OF the
House, where he is known as q vigorous
and effective orator and partisan OF posi-
tive views. He Is the chairman OF the
caucus committee which recently pre-
pared q scheme OF currency legislatton; IN
the House he has been supporter OF Civil
5ervice reform, and he Ia one OF the Presl-
dents intimate friends.
"Dave" Henderson, as he Is known to his
friends in Washington, Is noted for some
thing besides his orutoricai powers, his
good nature, his broad-minded love OF
humanity, and his wooden leg. he is one
oi the few good singers in Congress, and
while bis lung power is OF such vast
volume that he cannot properly be called
"sweet singer" he Is, nevertheless, q
warbler Of note Patriotic songs and
songs with rollicking choruses are the
ones that appeal to Henderson. General
Hendsrson's singing has been described by
bis rival In that Accomplishment, former
Representativ Warren B. Hooker, rs very
strong on wind but very weak In tune, but,
nevertheless, everybody apparently likes to
hear him.
It was Henderson who led the chorus In
the Doxology sung before tho Speakers
chair at the close Of the Fifty-6rst Con-
gress, and he has swung the preceptor's
rod on many famous occasion since. A
CONGRESSMAN recently said that when
Henderson Is Speaker he will probably
