YACHT ALTAR ON A ROCK.
FIFTEEN PERSONS ABOARD - WRECklNG
TUG GOES TO HER AT HARTs
ISLAND POINT.

While steaming at full speed through Long
Island Sound. between the north end of Harts
Island and Fort Slocum. late yesterday the
steam yacht Affair, owned by Edwin D. Trow-
bridge the banker, Of No 16 Nassau-st.. who
is member of the New-York Yacht Club. ran
on an immense rock and was nearly wrecked.
She was going at such high speed that she ran
her bow UP on the rock several feet. and then
listed to port. The impact was terrific. and
those aboard thought she going over.
The tide fast the ebb. and as ii fell
the Affairs keel could be seen almost to amid
ships. She was hard and fast and when the
tide fell her bow seemed TO be imbedded in the
rock, while her stern sunk low until her after
deck was on a level with the water
According TO the City Island police. there were
fifteen persons aboard at the time. Their names,
however, could not be learned. There was con-
siderable excitement following the accident. and
the crew. to dispel the fears of the passengers,
conveyed them to the shore in boats.
Soon after the Affair the rock the Mer-
ritt-Chapman Wrecking Company was informed
and the wrecking lighter Champion was sent to
the scene. 1t is not known whether hole was
torn in the yachts keel but it is suspected that
she is seriously damaged, the engine room
filled with water soon after she struck. The
damage she sustained will not be known until
this morning when the wrecking crew will have
completed their investigation.
The rock on which the Affair struck is known
as the Rock of No Nation" 1t has long been
regarded as a treacherous spot. and Sound
steamers have narrowly escaped running into II
on many occasions. There was rumor in City
Island last night that woman who was sitting
on the after deck of the Affair. holding a baby
in her arms, had been thrown into the water
and drowned. This could not be verified. and
the police said they had heard nothing about II.
Local pilots say that if the yacht slides off at
iCh nd he IN how
that the crew cannot keep her free she will sink
clear out of sight. for the water there is deeper
than at any other part of the East River.
The Affair is an old steam yacht. built by the
Herreshoffs in 1882. She formerly the ORR
enta. Her chief dimensions are 125 feet over
ALL III feet water line, IL feet beam and feet

BRYAN HERE ON WAY TO BOSTON.
HE is GREATLY TROUBLED. APPARENTLY.
BY THE coUNTRY's PROSPERITY.

William J. Bryan, looking hale and hearty came
to town yesterday. He is on his way to New-Ene-
land, where he will make several speeches on
politics. He will make his first address tonight in
Boston. Mr.. Bryan looked younger than when
here last. His hair is cut shorter. He was enthu-
siastic about his newspaper. and admitted that he
was something of circulation booster
Congressman James H. Griggs. of Georgia, chair
of the Democratic Congress Campaign Com
mittee. was one of Mr.. Bryans callers yesterday at
the Hoffman House. Mr.. Griggs is Bryan man,
and has taken upon himself the difficult task of
experimenting the sending out of Democratic
literature that will please all the warning factions
of his party
II do not care to talk about myself said Mr..
Bryan. My tina is fully occupied in editing my
paper. which has increased TO 100000 circulation,
and in farming. I have thirty-hve acres of my
and my house is a hill have the bene-
fit of view of 1900 more on which do not
have to pay taxes"
What do you think of the proposed new radical
Democratic party?' Mr. Bryan asked.
The new movement seems to be based on the
probability that the Cleveland-Hill element Will OBJ
tain control of the Democratic party, SAID MI
Bryan. II do not think that that contingency Is
probable, nor do I that any good Is TO come
from a discussion of such a contingency If the
head of the is SICK it is better for the chill
dren try his life than to begin to quarrel
the estate in anticipation of his possible DEATH
To make application it is better get to work and
the party from the humiliation and disaster
that it suffered under Mr. Cleveland's administra-
tion than discuss plans based upon the suppo-
sition that the improbable will happen.
Il agree in what Baron Shibusaway, the Japanese
banker. said in regard TO our present prosperity
and his speech will reappear in my paper In the
place the prosperity spoken of is not universal
claimed. The laboring man has not received an
increase in wages propoTtionate to the cost or nv
ing, therefore he is not getting his share or pros
perity. In far the farmers have prospered, 1t
ernmental policies of the Republican party. A
large proportion of the commercial enterprises are
built upon fictitious capital. and can only make
dividends their watered stock by wholesale ex-
tortion from the public. If they prosper the peo-
secure protection from this extortion. the indus
tries will have TO pass through period OF reor-
ganizaton. The specuator and the plunger are
making lots of money, but there is an END and a
isastrous one, 10 this sort of prosperity.
Mr.. Bryan met his daughter here. she having ar
rived Tuesday evening.
