SHAMROCK A GOOD ONE.
Again She Easily Outsails Her Sailing
Mate, the Britannia.

Cowes. July 19.-Beautiful weather pre-
vailed to-day for the trial of the yacht
Shamrock against the Britannia There
were big crowds ashore and afioat to wit
ness the race. The course of to-day's race
was yesterdays course reversed. A good
start was effected at 1912 a. m. the
Shamrock crossing the line half length
ahead of her competitor. being smartly
handled. Her sails seemed better set than
yesterday The breeze almost died out
shortly after the start was made and the
boats headed for the center of the channel
to avoid being becalmed on the lee of the
island. After half an hour the breeze re-
vived and the Shamrock increased her
lead.
AS was the case yesterday, the Sham
rock showed her superiority soon after
the start was made. Beating to wind
ward, she ran away from her opponent to
the Nab lightship, and again put about
in 10 seconds, the Britannia occupying II
seconds. The whole performance again
showed that the challenger is far ahead
of the Britannia, although the unfortu-
nate becalming of the boats precluded the
finishing of the course before the Prince
of Wales was obliged to start for Lon
don,

HARRISON AND ALTGElD.
An Attempt to he Made to Keep Local
Differences Out.

Chicago, July 19-Acting Chairman
| william @. Stone of Missouri will cali
to order the democratic national COM
| mlttee at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing IN the Sherman house. William j.
Bryan VIII probably sit as a commit
teeman, arrangements having been
made to furnish him with a proxy.
John p. Altgeld holds the proxy of
| william White of Washington. His
presence may cause trouble, as it is
believed that John Gahan, committee
man OF Illinois, may question Mr.. Alt
Selu right to represent democratic
committeeman. Apparently Mr.. Alt
geio Is DESTROYS of avoiding trouble.
He said to-day that he did not care to
SIT IN the committee if any of the men,
bers resented it, and he afterwards tel
egraphed Mr.. White. suggesting that
some other proxy be represented.
IF do not hear from Mr.. White"
sa1d the ex-governor tonight, or il he
insists that | represent him, l shall do
so. put | have no desire to bring local
affairs into the committee"
This discord between the Harrison
and Altgeld factions of the local DEM
ocratlc party was the salient feature
OF to-day's talk around the hotels. If
Acting Chairman Stones wishes are
carried out, and apparently most of the
committeeman are with him, the fac
tional differences local to Chicago and
New York will not be brought before
the committee in any form.
1t is probable that a new rule will
be adopted Tomorrow providing that
whenever vacancy occurs in the ma
tional the state committee shall elect
member of the national committee
to fill such vacancy. Another rule
which is under consideration gives the
national committee the right to judge
of the qualifications Of it's own mem
bers. Still another rule is being talked
of which would force Ex-Governor Alt
geld out of his position as a member
of the auxiliary committee" which
was originally composed of Altgeld,
Senators Jones, Teller and Allen and
William K. Stone. This rule will pro-
vide that all committees auxiliary and
otherwise of the national committee
shall be made up only of the big cCm-
mittee. 1t is intimated that the res
ignations of Senators Teller and Allen
and Ex-Governor Stone as members of
the auxiliary or ways and means
committee will be handed in to-mor-
row. Senator Jones absence in Eu-
rope will leave Mr.. Altgeld the sole re-
naming member of this committee and
an attempt may be made to force him
out and reorganize the committee with
only democrats as members, leaving
out the populists and silver republic
cans,

reported death of Robert Philpot is in
correct, but it is thought he will be the
