Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal.
Dover, July s.-TheIarticle in Every
Evening Of last week IN reference to
Gov. Hunn's aspirations for United
States Senator has been the talk of
both Democrats and Republicans all
week. AT firstzit was tboughtIby those
not on the inside that it was simply
one Of those rumors which have been
appearing IN the newspapers every few
months since Addioks has been promi-
nent in Republican councils, but several
leading Union Republicans who have
taken the trouble to investigate the
matter, are thoroughly convinced that
Every Evenings correspondent was
right, and they are kicking themselves
because such o move had been going
on right in their midst, while they had
not even an intimatiun of it until they
saw the Every Evening article.
Those Union Republicans who are
allied with Addicks for the revenue he
distributes and those expecting office
are loud In their denunoiation OF Gov.
Hum and Secretary of State Layton.
Th5He two gentlemen are called ingrates
and the prediction Is made that their
political star IL on the wane. On the
othsr hand, there are hundreds Of Re-
publicans in Kent county who are
delighted at the rumored stand taken
by Coy. Hum. These men for some
time past have chaffed under the leader
ship of Addicks and they will rally
around any Kent county man OF
prominence who has the courage to
oppose him in his rule or ruin policy.
Gov Hum refuses to have anything
to say about the NATTER. but he is
mapping out his plans to SECURE the
election Of two Republican United
States Senators, and il this is not
accomplished it will not be his fault.

communion score. ! VICTORY.

Newport, r. l., July San un-
qualified victory fer the Constitution /;
au overwhelming defeat for the indie
pendence; most communicable showing
for the old champion, the Columbia, is
the record OF the first days contest of
the big sloops in the Newport Yacht
Racing Association series. From the
firing of the starting gun, which ssnt
the yachts off to windward in light
east breeze, the Constitution held her
rivals. At the turning buoy she was a
little more than two minutesin advance
OF the Columbia, while the indie
psndence was hull down to leeward.
But ir was on the run home that the
new iierreshof yacht showed her great
est strength, beating Columbia over
eight minutes in the Is miles down the
wind, and when the new champion of
the A merica's CUP swept across the
line the Boston yacht was over seven
miles astern. Owing to the lightness
of the wind, there was no brilliant or
dramatic scene to chronicle. The race
lacked the charm that attends soup
per breeze, but 1t was. nevertheless,
full of interesting If not exciting, events.

Washington, July G. The report from
Brussels that former President Kruger
is being urged 10 notify the Powers
that unless they intervene in the South

priyateers is not treated seriously here.
IL Is we'll understood as one outcome
OF the war with Spain that the United
States government will never again, ex-
cept in the most extraordinary emery
ENJOY, issue letters of marque, and the
same reasons that impel the govern

operate to prevent our government from
recognizing any such warrants issued
BY any other nation, even were that
nation in full standing.
In thh case oil tina Spanish War, both
of the belligerents by agreement re
Trained from issuing commissions to
privateers, and it now has been many
years since the flag of any respectable
nation has flown over such craft. in
the case Of Mr.. Kruger, it is extremely
doubtful whether he would, if the issue
were forced in this way, be recognized
as a de facto President authorized to
issue commissions to priyateers. That
point would have to be settled at the
outset. and each pation whose commerce
was affected or was threatened by the
priyateers would determine for itself
his competency. 1t is scarcely to be
expected that they would decide against
their own commercial interests. SO that
Mr.. Kruger's privateers would end IL
difficult to secure ageneral recognition.
The threat 10 send oct privateers
without President Krugor's consent is
idle. 1t is pointed out here that such
craft would be pirates, pure and simple,
and rhe civilized world would combine
to sweep them from the seas if they
should begin operations against the
commerce OF any nation.
