The Shamrock.

Glasgow, July 2O.-Mr. Fife, designer
of the cup challenger Shamrock, writes
to his father as follows, concerning the
new racer; "The Shamrock is the
speediest yacht aaoat and will improve
es she gets her concert pitch The
boats full qualities have really not yet
been shown. She answer her helm like
skih"
Cowes, July 20 -Hawsers for towing
the Shamrock in case she should be
come disabled ia crossing the Atlantic
are now ready in the ropewalk here.
Designer Fife, fearing that the Sham
rocks fiat overriding stern will be
knocked of in the event of heavy
weather on the Atlantic when the yacht
crosses, will have bulkhead built so
that, if such mi.hap happens, the
boat can proceed with an inner false
stern. 1t learned that the great trick
about the Shamrock is her fin keel,
which is very far forward, with the
weight hung low. The yacht is not
otherwise reme -kable. Her mainsail
is precisely the same size as that of the
last Valkyre.

The New York.

New York, July 20-Violence is today
the chief feature OF the street car strikes
in Manhattan aud Brooklyn boroughs.
From SHUTDOWN last night till dsybreak
today, the police were kept busy.
There were many broken heads and
arrests are the result of the distur-
Dances. Large crowds gathered all
along Second avenue, and collisions
with the police were frequent. The
police seemed merciless but this served
only to goad the mobs 20 Increased
fury. A number Of policemen were
roughly handled and several were ia
ken to hospitals. In many instances
mobs were led by women. In the me-
lees some of these women were dubbed,
overthrown and trampled upon. The
police managed to keep the line open,
but it required almost continual fight
ing to do so. On the other lines, IN
Manhattan, affected by the strike,
there was little disorder.
In Manhattan today all the under
ground trolley lines are running nearly
as usual except the Second avenue,
where there is considerable delay.
President Vreeland says that only
small per cenlage of the men are out
and that the great body of workmen
will remain loyal.
The strike epidemic has spread to the
newsboys. They decided in body
this morning to refuse to sell either the
Evening Journal or the Evening World
and have boycotted those papers. The
boys demand that those papers be sold
10 them for > for cent. The office re-
ails them 10 for six cents. Crowds OF
angry boys armed with sticks filled the
street in Printing House Square this
morning and woe to the newsboy who
was detected with either of the boy
cotted sheets.
10 Brooklyn no attempt was made to
run cars in the suburbs, but the main
city lines were open sll night Ere
quent attempts were made TO blockade
the tracks and daylight revealed the
TACT that there had been much wire cut
ing
Though the strikers seem hopelessly
beaten they are keeping up still front.
Cars are not running on schedule
line but few more ere moving today
ban yes erday President Rcssiter was
delighted with the situation today. He
aid: "Everythiug is going on salts
fsctorily and if our green men we have
hired understood the workings OF the
cars better, would have every car in
op ration"
The railway companies in Brooklyn
and Manhattan appear 10 have made de-
cded gains today In Manhattan this
afternoon, cars appear to be running al
most as usual on all the affected lines.
In Brooklyn also the company appears
have made Roadway today and things
are running more smoothly.
Bishop Potter has been asked by the
embers OF the New York council OF
mediation and conciliation to arbitrate
the strike. He has not yet replied.

newspaper, the idea is spreading ike
wild FIRE" among the friends OF Mr. La
gals in that city, republicans as well
as democrats, that he should run for
Governor OF Ohio on the democratic
ticket. There is nothing strange nova
DAYS, but that the idea referred to
should have ever been conceived is GER
tainly remarkable, whether it spread
like wild, or slow fire. There Is no
doubt that the republicans would like
Mr.. ingalls,, rather than Mr.. Mclean, to
head the democratic ticket IL Ohio, but
that anv democrat would, is hardly
possible, as that gentleman organized
the opposition in Virginia to the ma
tional democratic ticket only three
wears ago, disbursed thousands OF dol
lars for that vain purpose, and agreed
TO spend fifty thousand more in an at
tempt to carry the State for Mckinley
if the reports OF those he sent to spy
out the land were favorable. Il Mr..
Ingalls, should be the republican candi-
date for Governor of OHIO it would not
cause special wonder, but his name on
a democratic ticket would induce Iea-
sonable people to DOUBT tneir own I'M
