GOVERNMENT LAUNCH STRUCK
Being Run From Charlestown
 Navy Yard to Portland

The Vessel Us Now on the Rocks and
 a Wreck-The Crew of the Launch
 Was Brought Ashore By the Bidde-
 ford Pool Life Saving Station.
 Biddeford, Me, July 23.-A govern ment launch which was being run from the Charlestown navy yard to Portland by Lieutenant George Ste vens and seven men of the Portland na- val reserve, struck early to-day on the southerly point of Beach Island, at the Pool, and is a wreck on the rocks. The vessels whistle reused Captain Hol- man of the Biddeford Pool life saving station who, with three volunteers, brought ashore the crew of the launch without difficulty. The naval attaches at once left for Portland.
 The launch was formerly attached to the United States ship Dolphin. She was about forty feet long and of light construction. She went on the rocks in fog. She was going at only a five knot speed. but several holes were made in her bottom and she cannot be saved. Lieutenant Stevens had his course laid to pass outside Beach Island, but a strong wester- ly current sent the boat just inside the other end of the island.

IS II SETTLED?
Another Strike Rumor In Cir~
 cuIation To-Day.
FRIEND OF THE STRIKERS.

Is Said To Be in Consultation With
 the Trolley Directors One Offer
 Made to Him Which Was Refused
 None of the Local Officials Hava
 Heard Anything Definite.
 -- rumor came over the wires this afternoon thatth trolley strike wasset- tied. While those interested and who would certainly know are not aware of any such happy occurrence indeed it sounds too good to be rue-stiu it would not be surprising if the report turned out to be correct. During the past few days friend of President Daly of the Central Labor union has been negotiating with the board of df4 rectors of the trolley company for settlement Tuesday the company made an offer which indicated that settlement was certainly under way, It was not acceptable, however, to the other party and negotiations ceased. The following day, however, the friend of the strikers was telegraphed for by the directors and word is hourly expected from him. At noon today Mir Daly had not received any such tidings as the telegraph conveys and he was greatly surprised at the unap- countable silence of his friend.

1yuE corTUN MARKET.

New York, July 23.-Shorts in the cotton market appeared ito be demor- alized to-day by the approach of the last July delivery day and the contin- ued strength of Liverpool. The an nouncement that 5000 bales of the English spot sales were for shipment to this country for delivery on July account seemed to add fuel to the fire, as it was taken to mean the existence of a larger July short interest than had been reckoned upon. The first bid for July was at 1860 or 30 points over the previous high record and the first Sale was at 1870, the next at 1875. The balance of the list opened strong. to 12 points higher, and was immediate ly rushed still further upward under buying for both accounts. August sold at 12.7o, net advance of 2e points, while September reached 11.1d and October 10.09 during the first 30 minutes, with the genral list showing advances of 10 to 55 points.

s .
 New York, July 23.-Ex- Senator John M. Thurston of Nebraska has taken the temperature of the sea water at Coney Island, but his enjoyment of the experience was curtailed by the fact that he had his clothes on.
 The Nebraskan and his wife visited the island as the guests of an old ac- quaintance who is now proprietor of an amusement resort thare They were taken on board an electric launch for trip down the lagoon. They made a circuit of the grounds and then passed out through small lock into Gravesend bay. After pleasant trip the launch was headed back to the park. Owing to changed tide the lock had been closed. The visitors were confronted with a walk over the dam, a foot wide, or climbing the fence. They chose the former and Mrs Thurs ton negotiated the distance without diff flculty. Her husband ventured across next and when half way over lost his balance. The creek is only four feet deep, but there was plenty of mud and the former senator was not presenta- ble when he finally reached shore. A change of clothing was found for him and the party came back to town de claring they had a good time despite the accident.

NEGRESS THRASHED HIM
We'll Educated But Dissolute Girl Uses
 Whip for Hancied Grievance.

WMllJ TOT bHnC1ou Cr1oVa0cG.
 Toledo, July 23. Postmaster c. J. Thompson was assaulted and horse whipped yesterday by Cora Prater, a colored woman 25 years old. When Postmaster Thompson left his home in North Defiance he was met by the negress at the Wabash bridge and giv- en ten stinging cuts from horsewhip which she had hidden in the folds of her dress. MT Thompson made no attempt to ward off the blows, and when the woman had finished he cool ly approached the eyewitnesses and took their names for future use.
 The cause of the assault is a sup posed grievance which the girl had ill regard to her mail She has been caus- ing the postal department some trouble and because one of her letters was confiscated by the department she went into fury. Other develop ments from the government are looked for within few days. The Prater gird is the only colored person who ever graduated from the local schools, and since her graduation she has be- come a police court character and been arrested many times She once was offered a full schoIa rship in Oberlin on account of her exceptional scholarship in Defiance.

 Newport, R. l., July 23.-The harbor preparations for the Astor Cup race to-day by the schooners and the sloops of the New York Yacht club fleet were made this morning under hazy skies and in light airs from the southwest. Seven sloops and three schooners were entered last night for the event, but for the first time since this special race became fixture, the big cup de lenders were not allowed to compete. The race originated with Captain Og- den Goelet in 1882, and for fifteen years it was known as the Goelet Cups. Such yachts as the Puritan, Mayfow- CT, Volunteer, Vigilant and Columbia, all Americas Cup defenders, won them. The defender failed to win the cup in 1895, and the Columbia beat the Constitution two years ago.
 Upon the death of Mir Goelet in 1897 Colonel John Jacob Astor stepped for ward and has since kept up the event, offering as did MT Goelet $1,OOO cups for schooners and $500 cups for sloops. The event to-day is the fifth renewal by Colonel Astor.
 Last year the club adopted a new measurement rule limiting the draft of all yachts to IS feet. The three cup yachts this year all draw more than IS feet, so are barred from competing, but the club offered special cup for the cup defender candidates.
 The Astor Cup day has always ranked as one of the Heading events in the yachting season and to-day nearly every steam yacht in the fleet had q full quota of guests when it left for the starting line off Brenton's Reef lightship.
 The courses were the same as have obtained for the last twenty-one years, two obtuse triapgles each 3S miles round. As southwest winds have us- ually prevailed, the yachts in nearly all the races have been on a 121s mile beat to Block Island. with an IS mile run to West Island. off 'Sakonnet Point, and 61a mile reach to the finish. In an easterly breeze the yachts have been sent in the direction of Buzzard' s Bay. rounding the Vineyard Sound and the Hen and Chickens lightship.
 At 10 o'clock this morning the wdnd was baowing about four knots from the southwest and it looked as if the first named course would be sailed.
 The regatta committee, as in former years, were the guests of Colonel As tor on the Nourmahal. and they left for the start about half past ten o'clock, followed by a score of other steam yachts and those which were to partic- tpate in the race.
 Only the reliance and Columbia of the big yachts started in to-day's race. The starting time was Reliance, il 1:5O48; Columbia, Il :4939. There was a ten knot breeze blowing at the time

[ Finally, the cardinals appointed a committee to receive the case contain ing the papal treasure from the congre. gation of briefs, whose work is sus- pended until new pope is elected. and to receive the papal seals from the apostolic chancelry.
 During the hot hours of the day the crowd at St Peter's decreased and little difficulty was experienced in viewing the body.
 An extraordinary significant element was introduced later in the morning by Italian soldiers entering the church, for the maintenance of order in full uni form. wearing their caps and side arms. They lined the aisles of the basilica.
