LOST AN ANCHOR AND CHAIN
Morgan Liner Clinton Returned
to Port, Because She Could
Not Discharge Cargo,
Galveston News, 4.

galveston news, 4.
The Morgan liner Clinton re-
turned yesterday from Brazos de
Santiago with a new complaint.
Usually it is for more coal, as the
steamer has TO discharge her cargo
into small schooners, which sail
across the bar and are taken up
and towed to the wharf by a steam
lighter. This time, owing to the
heavy seas and bad weather she
lost her anchor and chain and had
to come back to Galveston for a
new one, as she has to lie at an
cher in the gulfswhile discharging
cargo. There was not one to be
had in town, so New Orleans was
wired for one. 1t will probably
arrive here Tuesday or Wednesday,
whereupon she will return to her
endeav0rs to get rid of her cargo.
The chain lost was forty-fve
fathoms and the anchor weighed
1000 pounds. They were buoyed
up so that they can be raised when
the conditions are favorable for it.
The Clinton will take no cargo.
Captain Wertsch reports having
heard or seen nothing Of the lost
schooner j. n. McInnis. 1t was
reported after his arrival that the
schooner Rosina had been lost for
~ miles below Brownsville on
the Mexican coast, but this proves
to have been a probable error, as
a letter to the wife of the captain
stated that he had not left Arkansas
Pass, where he put in on account
OF the bad weather. The other two
Schooners, previously reported as
having gone in there for safety,
had left. One of the pilots said
that there is a Mexican schooner
ashore at the point mentioned.
When last reported the schoon-
ers McInnis aud Rosina were in
but it appears that they
parted company at Arkansas.
One of the captains Of the mos
quito feet, who arrived a day or
SO ago, reports that he saw the
schooner McInnis last Sunday. |
She was then off the bar at Point |
Isabel, but as there was a very |
heavy sea running on the bar at
he time Captain Anderson evil
lently decided not to risk pound
ng his vessel to pieces there. SO
Re steered for the gulf, bat was
.aught and the schooner capsized.
Many are the theories as to the
cause of the capsizing,
'ut some think that she possibly
prung a leak, which caused a list,
nd as she had a heavy deck load
nyhOw threw her over too far.
IF course, if the vessel went too
ar over the deck load would shift
nd throw her still farther.

ney0 formal challenge has been issGed, |
Mr.. Keene 70 IA Europe and no reply |
from him has been received.
Once before Mr.. Whitney did q thing |
that may be compared to hie present
stand. It was last year when his horse
Killashanira technically won the Nurs-i
cry handicap at Morris park. with $3.50
stakes, altho Col. James -. Peppers 3
year-old Kings Courier had come out
ahead on the course. Mr.. Whitney re-
fused to take advantage OF the technt-
cal error which disqualified Kings Cou-
rier from winning, and saw to 1t that
Col. Pepper got the prize money
The present struggle between Mr..
Whitney and Mr.. Keene, two OF the
richest men in America, over differ
ence OF q fraction OF a second in the
running time OF their horses, is exciting
the whole sporting world. Angry words
have been said about 1t. Mr.. Whitney
and Foxhall Keene, son OF the owner OF
Tommy Atkins both felt that some-
thine, was wrong in the Flatbush race.
Mr.. Whitney is not an ordinary man.
Neither is Mr.. Keene. Both are racing,
not for money hut for glory. Mr.. Whit
ney held his tongue. but young Mr..
Keene did not. He said things that
ranked, and the next day after the race
the following letter from Mr.. Whitney
went forth as clever diplomatic reply
to Keene'a hot words:
To the Secretary OF the Coney Island
Jockey Club sir:-The running Of the
Flatbush stakes recently was most un-
satisfactory to every one. As the winner
OF the stake 1t was especially so to me.
The circumstances Of the race left In
doubt the question which horse would
have won in a true-run race. 1t would
be agreeable TO me if you would retain
from the winnings Of my stable at this
meeting the amount won by me in the
Flatbush and arrange for a meeting OF
the two horses at Morris Park and add
this money for me to such stake as
may be put up by the Westch ester Assoc
citation, the race to be run at seven fur
longs and at equal weights. II the
event does not occur by reason OF the.
non-appearance at the post from any
cause of Ballyhoo Bey, you may retain.
the money for ouch fund applicable to
disabled jockeys as we may agree upon.
This proposal does not call in ques-s
ton the decision of the race by the
stewards. It simply assumes that the
race was not truly run, which all adj
init. Very respectfully.
.'WILLIAAf.C. WHITNEY. ., :
All OF this sounded very much like a
challenge to the sporting fraternity. but
1t must not be taken in that way. It
means that Mr.. Whitney wants truer
test of the capacities of Ballyhoo Bey
and of Tommy Atkins than either the
Futurity or the Flatbush race afforded
and that the $1,000 involved in the latter
race is a trifie to him compared with his
desire to know which horse is really the
better.

SPLIT over SILVER
DELAYS THE CONVENTION
Continued from Page ~

Cries for Joseph Waters Of Kansas,
then went up from the delegates and Mr..
Waters was introduced. Mr.. waters
aroused wild enthusiasm by his fierce de-
nunciation of the republican party.
Some one called upon the delegates
present who voted for Abraham Lincoln
to stand up and the convention yelled
with enthusiasm as nearly 200 white
headed men arose. Mayor John Brown
(colored) of Kansas, who saw service IN
Cuba, was applauded when he promised
the negro vote to the silver republican
party.
There was apparently no prospect of a
report from the committee on reso-
lutions and an adjournment was taken
until $3.50 p. m.
A subcommittee from the silver re-
publican committee called on Senator
Tillman and Jones today 0 arrange for
a conference of the full committee with a
committee from the democrats in regard
to the placing of Charles A. Towne in
nomination by both conventions. Sena-
tors Jones and Tillman assured the sub
committee that they would do all in their
power to bring about such a conference.
The programme of the silver republicans
for a session late this afternoon is to
adopt the platfrom, place w. j. Bryan in
nomination for president by reclamation
and then await the result of the expected
conference before proceeding to the NOM
ination of a vice presidential candidate.

strative supporters are in Kansas City.
Even at the Bryan home there were no
untoward incidents yesterday or today.
After the convention had adjourned
last night and the bulletins commenced
Mr.. Bryan a a long consultation with
party leaders at Kansas City over the
telephone. His interest centered in the
efforts OF the committee on resolutions
to reach an agreement, but if he offered
to make any concessions from the posi-
ton, 1t is pretty well understood that no
n in Lincoln knows it.
Efforts to get the slightest expression
from him as to his choice of running
mates rave failed and he Is equally ret
icent as to his plans after the nomination
is made.
If Bryan is to go Kansas City he will
start late this eveninp his action being
contingent upon the progress of the con-
vention.

that his state had given him free rein to

cision had q strong influence upon deter
mining the decision to avoid a presentation

The subcommittee gave a brief hearing
today to Mrs. Gait. president of the Equal

stitution forbidding the disfranchisement
