LAWSON'S YACHT
CANNOT ENTER RACES WITH
 THE CONSTITUTION.
New Workers Intimate That the Boat Millionaire Has Pesistently and
 Wilfuliy Miscontrued the Stipulations Made.

New York. June 7.-Thomas w. Law sons yacht. Independence, will not be allowed to compete in the trial races preliminary to the races for the Amer tca's cup unless it shall be chartered by some members of the New York Yacht Club who will enter her for such events as she may be qualified to take part in.
 After a meeting of the Challenge Committee today, 1t was decided to re- turn 10 MT. Lawson his proposition to charter the Independence to number of New York Yacht Club gentlemen who comprise the Challenge Commit tee. All the correspondence is given out tonight.
 Mir. Lawson submitted form of charter. Which," he said, while 1t allows you (the New York Yacht Cluo) to maintain your position that the vessel defending the cup is the repre- sentative of your Club. also allows me to maintain the position which l have held from the start. viz: That any American ownixg the best American boat may defend the cup without giv- ing away his boat"
 The form of charter which MT. Law son enclosed with his letter recites that The New York Yacht Club holds as trustee the cup under a deed of gift in trust. and the New York Yacht Club has notified MT. Lawson that match for the cup can be sailed only between a challenge 0oreign) yacht club on the one hand and the New York Yacht Club on the other hand and is not open to other contest"
 The reply to the last commune ation from MT. Lawson was sent to Boston tonight. It says in part: Your last letter with the enclosures indicates a settled purpose on your part to mis- understand the position of the Com mittee which has been again and again stated to you in terms too plain to be open to any but wilful misconstruc- tion.
 "It is evident that further discussion can serve no useful purpose and the committee. therefore must decline to pursue the subject further with you.
 If a member of this club notified the Secretary that he has chartered the Independence or that he has ac- cepted a transfer of her, it will be for such member to enter her for such events as she may be qualified to en- ter.

1.-THE, BIvoUAc OF THE DEAD"
Confederate Author Wrote Epitaph
 on Gate of a National Cemetery.


 on Gate of National Cemetery. Lake Providence (La.) Banner-Demo-
 crat.
 Having lately seen a beautiful trib- ute to Theodore O'Hara author of the Dead" and as OHara was my per sonal friend and assistant in the ad- tutant generals office of the Kentucky division, commanded by Major Gen. eral Breckinridge, 1 take pleasure in sending you an extract from the arti- cle, with the full poem, which 1 have carried in my notebook ever since the war.
 1t is worthy of record that this son of the South produced the one perfect and universal martial eulogy that the world has known. and that the south has been absolutely unmindful Of thls fact. The first of these statements IS proved by the fact that without any advertisement or explorations, the wonderful words have, in the fifty years since they were written, perme- ated the whole world, and been laid hold on by English speaking people everywhere to celebrate their honored dead who passed away in battle. Upon crimean battlefields, the resting place of English heroes is marked by great monument. on which shine OHara matchless words. and yet England did not know from whom she borrowed when she wrote them:
 "On fame's eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards, with solemn round,
 The bitouac of the dead.
 Perhaps the anonymous char acter or the poem was blessing, since 1t Is doubtful if the Federal government Of the United States would have used the lines in such lavish fashion in immor- talking the dead of the union army had they been recognized as the pro duct of the genius of soldier and officer of the other side. In any case. they did not know, and every national cemetery in America has gained there by, since they are not only the most appropriate but the only appropriate lines for such purpose.
 over the gateway of the national cemetery at Washington the famous tIrsI stanZa is engraved. and there, as aT Antiet2 m and other national ceme- teries. the entire poem is reproduced. stanza by stanza on slabs placed along the driveway.
 O'Hara lies in the burying ground at Frankfort, Ky, with only the lnscrlp- ,ton on a simple slab of marble which says:

Mr.. TURNER TO THE PUBLIC.
He Issues "A Statement I'm Regard to
the GubernatOriaI Nomination.

Ouitman, Ca, Aug. 10.-The follow
ing statement has been furnished the
press by Hon. Henry G. Turner:
TT is we'll known, l suppose, that
for many months my name has been
mentioned by partial friends for the
gubernatorial nomination. Being con-
tent with the ease and Independence of
private station l gave no encourage
ment to these demonstrations of favor.
Recent events have greatly multiplied
these suggestions, both in the press and
in private letters. My failure to make
any statement to the public under
these new and sudden conditions must
not be attributed to Indifference or in
sensibility. The Office of Governor is
too high to be sought pell-mell, and
to precipitate an active contest for the
dignified and responsible station SEEM
ed to me hardly justif1able. cam
paign raging through all the seasons
and through some seasons twice, would
scarcely be an unmixed boon. In
contest involving the whole state l
deemed it not unwise to be assured of
the sentiments of the people in other
sections Such a course | thought due
to the dignity of the Governors Of
flee, to my friends and to myself. Much
has been said about a general conces-
sion of this nomination to the southern
section of the state. Such generosity
ought to impose on this section the
duty of presenting a man who Will be
acceptable to those who have made
this concession and to all the people
of the state. 1 did not think that
ought too hastily to assume
to myself this very high honor. For
these good reasons, chiefly, / have been
holding this important matter under
consideration. But there is one consid-
Grafton which makes this reported
tender to the wiregrass extremely
gratifying to me. Here are the people
of more than thirty counties who for
many years through all the vicissi
tudes of a trying political era have
given me their unwaVering confidence
and support. 1 have heard their cheers
too often to be Indifferent to them
now. Naturally it would make me
happy to see all their aspirations graf
flied. After full consideration by my
friends and by me, 1t is not likely
will lightly or without good cause de-
cline their confidence"

Mr.. GUERRY MAKES DENIAL.
snys His Pelham speech Was Carl
catured and Unfairly Quoted.

Albany, Ga, Aug. 10.-Hon. Dupont
Query spent this afternoon in Albany
while en- route from Pelham, where he
spoke yesterday, to his home in Ma
con. While here he was shown a copy
of this mornings Macon Telegraph
containing a report of his address at
Pelham. The report stated that the
speaker referred to Col. Estill as Mr..
Distil,' and charged Hon ]. Pope Brown
with having deserted the people in ar
bitrating the tax valuation of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western Rail-
road.
After reading the Telegraph's report
Col. Query made to your correspondent
the following statement for publica-
ton:
THE report in to-days Macon Tele-
graph of my speech at Pelham on yes
terday is so unfair and erroneous that
l will not notice all of it's misrepresen-
tations, but out of respect for Mr.. Es-
till and Mr.. Brown and myself, make
two corrections: l did not refer to Mr..
Estill as Mr.. 'Distil.' and did not use the
language attributed to me about Mr..
Brown in connection with undervalua-
ton of the property of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway Com
pany. This report Is simply a carica-
ture of my speech. and 1 notify my
friends and the impartial public now
that they need expect no fairness nor
justice to me from this paper"

Blind Toms Memory.
From the Philadelphia North Anne


Atlantic City, Aug. 5.-Atlantic City
continues to marvel over Blind Toms
wonderful memory. The fame of il has
gone abroad in the land. so that not
only at some of his concerts, where an
opportunity has been given. but in the
informal crowds that occasionally
gather around his chair there is a man.
ifest tendency to test IT personally.
Naturally the only subject on which
the casual stranger can verify the &C
curacy of Toms memory is that of pre-
vious performances. So the questions
that are asked are all on that subject;
and Toms memory is apparently in
fallible. He has never yet failed TO
tell upon what date he played at a
given town; or il he had played there
several times, he knew ii, and he knew
when. After a concert career extend
ing over nearly forty years, one which
has carried him all over the continent,
such a memory seems almost superhu-
man.
When one considers further that this
is an absolutely uneducated man, with
an absolutely unframed memory, with
out any great natural intelligence ex-
cept in his unexplainable musical in
stinct and that one cannot call ii
heredity rising superior to circumstan-
ces, but one circumstances rising SUI
perior to heredity. IL becomes still more
remarkable.
After one OF his recent concerts Tom
sat for some time as a target for ques-
tons They came from all over the
house, and Tom answered them with
out hesitation, except for a certain hes
itancy which evidently belongs to his
speech rather than to his memory. He
