ATLA NTIC YACHT CLUB
Put I'm It's Annual Appearance in Local
 Harbor Hast Evening.

The annual appearance of the Atlan- tic Yacht club, in New Haven harbor, occurred between 6 and 8 o'clock last evening. The yachts arrived after an interesting yet not very exciting race from Larchmont, about fifteen miles this side of New York. The race, over course of forty-one miles, was par ticipated in by fifteen yachts of the club. The wind was from the east at the start, shifting to $. s. W. at 8 o'clock in the afternoo.
 The topsail schooner, "Thistie, own-
 ed by Commodore Tods, had to be tow-
 ed nearly all the way, owing to the light winds. George M. Pynchon's new
 sloop, "Neola," which started with the Yankee" managed to hold the lead and won from the larger sloop by forty seven seconds. The winners were the Emerald, Sachem, Loyal, Neola, Isolt
 and Rondinella. While entering the harbor the Yankee went agorund, but was not damaged.
 The fleet leaves the New Haven harbor
 about 9 o'clock this morning for New
 London. Edwin Gould's steam yacht Aileen is with the fleet.
 When the yachts anchored in the
 harbor last evening they were greeted
 by g. large number of small sailing and
 rowing craft which went out to meet
 them. Many of the members of the
 Peuuot association met the yachtsmen
 and in the evening an informal and
 very pleasant reception was held in the
 associations spacious club house.

CASTRO TAKES THE FIELD
Official News from Minister Bowen
 Situation Evidently Serious.

/ Washington, July 7-The state de- partment has received cablegram from United States Minister Rowen at Caracas, stating that the Venezuelan government has communicated to him the fact that President Castro has de- cided to personally lead his troops against the revolutionary forces in the field, and that Vice President Gomez has assumed charge of the executive branch of the government
 The news conveyed in Minister Ro- wens dispatch is regarded in different lights among South American diplomats in Washington. The prevailing view is that nothing but most acute situation would cause President Castro to drop the reinsr of government at Caracas and take personal charge of the Venezuelan army at Valencia and in those quarters it is firmly believed he is to lead a forlorn hope and must surely succumb to the threatened heavy onslaught of revolutionary forces. In other quar- ters, however, confidence is expressed that Castro will repel the impending at- tack just as he ,Ias done many others that have confronted him in the past years of his administration, and fur ther enhance his record as a fighter.

IMPERIAL DEFENSE.
The Paramount Feature Before Colonial
 Prsmters.

London, July 7.-Presiding at the an- nual meeting here to-day of the British Empire League, the Duke of Devonshire Qord president of the council and lead CT of the liberal unionists), discussing the conferences of the colonial premi- CTS, said the question of imperial de- fense was paramount. The question of imperial commercial relations would solve itself at no distant day, in ac- cordance with economic laws which will inevitably assert themselves, and which, he did not think, would present any ob stacle to the consummation of that which they all must desire, namely, free trade, or the nearest approach to free trade, within every portion of the en- pire. Imperial defense, however, could not wait. If they waited for it to solve itself they might wait until there was no British empire to defend.

COAL STRIKE REGION QUIET
NINTH WEEK SHOWS NO CHANGE
 IN SITUATION.
Not the sIig ghtest indication That Either Side Is Ready to Quit-Heavy Rains of Last Few Days Increases Water fin the DIines-superintenden Fear Little Trouble from This.
Trouble from This

Wilkesbarre, Pa., July With Pres ident John Mitchell in New York and all the other miners leaders at Nanti- coke attending the annual convention of District No. 1, strike headquarters was an extremely quiet place to-day. The ninth week of the suspension of anthracite coal mining shows no change in the situation, there being not the slightest indication that either party to the controversy is ready to quit. Con- ditions in and about the collieries re- main unchanged. excepting that the heavy rains of the last few days have increased the amount of water some what in many of the mines. Mining superintendents do not fear much trou- ble from this, most of them expressing their confidence that. with dry spell, the pumps will rapidly reduce it to it's normal level.
 The entire coal belt was generally very quiet, very few men congregating in the vicinity of the collieries. The large force of coal and iron policemen, estimated at three thousand, are kept constantly on duty for an emergency. There were several arrests made in this valley to-day of persons accused of ni- timidating alleged unfair" workmen, but the arrests were made so quietly as to cause no disturbance of any kind.
 The district convention at Nanticoke to-day disposed of considerable busi- ness of routine nature. About four hundred delegates, representing 75,000 mine workers, are attending the con- vention. Reports of officers were pre- sented and referred to committees, and the balloting for officers was begun. There is some opposition to Secretary John Dempsey and Vice President Adam Ruscavage. President T. D. Nichols will be unanimously reelected. The result of election of other officers will not be known until tomorrow During the afternoon District Presf- dents Duffy, of the Lehigh district, and Fahy, of the schuylkill territory, made brief addresses in which they urged the delegates to stand firm during the prog ress of the strike.

ROBBERY OF CHURCH SAFE.
Experts Fall to Open That of St. John's of Stan ford.

Stamford, Conn.,, July 1.-The failure of experts who have worked all day on the safe in the parish house of St. Johns church, which was entered by burglars last night, lead to the belief that the contents of the safe have been stolen. This belief is strengthened by the finding of paper on a desk in the clergy room on which is written the combination of the safe. It is now supposed that instead of making a poor job of opening the safe the burglars were successful and smashed the door to prevent it from being opened. The contents of the safe included some money and very valuable collection of silver, intrinscally valued at ,$7,OO0.

He was immediately attended by the com pany surgeon, Dr. N. R. Hotchkiss of Shelton avenue, who was at the meeting. It was at first thought that the attack was nothing serious but a careful ex- animation led to the belief that the shock might be fatal and MT. Hosmer was removed to his home, 603 Orange street, in the ambulance.
 The meeting of the company was for the purpose of choosing a successor to Major Clark and MT. Hosmer was act ing as a teller. An informal ballot had been taken and the formal one called for. MT. Hosmer had passed the bal lot box to few of the members when suddenly he sank heavily into a chair and was apparently lifeless. The doc tor and several of the company mem- bers worked over him for quite few minutes but MT. Hosmer did not regain consciousness and realizing that the case was of more serious nature than at first anticipated the doctor ordered the unfortunate man placed on a company litter and taken to his home. This brought the meeting to close.
 At the home a further and more care ful examination was made and 1t was found that one side of the body was partially paralyzed and that the stroke was of very grave nature. Although numerous stimulants and remedies were resorted to he had not regained consciousness at late hour.
 MT. Hosmer is man about fifty years of age and quite we'll known in business and social circles of the city. He is prominent member of St. Johns Episcopal church. George Hosmer, his father, died on the evening of the 9th of May last. There is also sister, Mrs. Samuel Tyler, also of this city.
 At 2:45 this morning it was ascertain ed from Dr. Hotchkiss, who had been at MT. Hosmer's bedside until after mid night, that the patient had not regained consciousness; that the paralysis had completely affected one whole side of the body and that his condition was very critical. 4

 Berlin, July 1.-The North German Gazette to-day reviews number of pamphlets treating upon Germans sea power and the possibility of an inva- sion of Great Britain. and concludes: Such ideas are fantastic. England's fleet will remain the greatest in the world. It is quite impossible to land an army in England of sufficient force un- less her navy is destroyed. The re- marks of such pamphlets are outbursts from the new German feeling of sea power. They cause a very delightful sensation, but facts must be correctly measured. or else there is danger of il- lusions being indulged in"

HOT ON TRACTS TRAIL.
POSSE RESUMES PURSUIT OE
 DARING CONVICT.
Boat Found in Which He and Anderson Escaped Across sound-Pursuers Fol-
 low tho Trail Into the Forest-In- formation Received from an Indian
Woman.

Seattle, Wash, July 7-At the ex- treme head of Miller's Bay the White hall boat which carried Harry Tracy and Anderson away from Port Madison Saturday night has been found. In it were pair of oars. Everything else had been carried away. The boat had been pulled in from the beach and slowed away in clump of bushes, and Tracy evidently felt secure in the belief that it would not be found for several days, at least. This very fact may lead to developments somewhat earlier than Miller's Bay is but a few miles overland from Port Gamble. It is directly north of Port Madison Indian reservation, where, according to an Indian woman, Tracy was seen in the afternoon.
 Sheriff Cook, with a posse, left Port Madison early this morning to search the Millers Bay district in response to information received from the Indian reservation. Immediately after the dis covery of the boat the party discovered fresh trail leading into the forest. Tracks of two men were plainly dis cernible, and there was no doubt in the minds of the members of the party that they were hot on the track of Tracy and his unwilling partner, Anderson. Short ly after noon Deputy Cook and his par ty made their way into the forest, and it will probably be late tonight before they are again heard from.
