New York Yacht Club Regatta.

Peacock Point, n. Y, June 15.--A
smart ten knot northeaster came rafting
down Long Island Sound this morning
kicking up the white caps and giving
fair promise for a good race day for the
annual regatta of the New York Yacht
Club in which the Reliance, Constitution
and Columbia will compete. Theyachts
will be sent over a triangular course.
There was more sea running this morn
ing than on the day the yachts met for
their only race over the Americas cup
course off Sandy Hook, last week. The
yachts will spend the rest of this week
racing in the placid waters of the Sound,
and the latter part of next week, will
meet for the first of series of races in
the sea off Newport. The Reliance, Con-
stitution and Columbia will be sent over
the line today fifteen minutes after the
other classes have been started.
1t is thought that high wind and the
heavy sea make it too risky to race.

Miners Convention.

Scranton, Pa, June l5.-The most
important convention of mine workers,
since that which tied up the entire
anthracite coal regions, assembled here
today to discuss number of grave
questions that have arisen to disturb the
peace of the industrial world. The most
important matter that the convention
will have to decide is the conciliatory
board trouble. Theselection Of Nichols,
Detrey and Fahey as the miners repre-
sentatiyes seems certain. The cOnven-
ton will, in all probability, authorize the
three district boards to order general
strike if the operators persist upon re-
fusing to recognize Nichols, Detrey and
Fahey. Prior to assembling of the con-
yention it was plain that the conservative
element was in the ascendancy. They
desired a harmonious convention but
were UNANIMOUS in insisting that the
United Mine Workers were entitled to
name the miners delegates to the con-
ciliatiOn board.

increase of the minimum limits of re-
duction of rentals and the adjustment

The Ken,uoky Troubles.

Jackson, KY, June l5.-The old con-
ditions which prevailed in Jackson before
the troops came again prevail, and if the
defense fails to prove complete alibi f
lett and While, the people here will be
astonished. The town was quiet last
night. Joe Crawford and Ed. Thorpe,
suspected of burning Ewen's hotel, were
kept in the military guardhOuse. The
Hargis people were willing and anxious
TO sign bail bonds for the men, but the
attorneys representing them in the de-
tense of Jett and White opposed the
step saying it would prejudice the case
on trial. That the grand jury will re-
lease the men there is little doubt because
the witnesses, in view of the fate of Even,
will not testify against them, and the
Jurors as well as everyone else feels the
wonderful power which the lurking
assassin yields here.
When the court resumed for the muir
der trials Curtis Jet was first placed OF
the stand in his own behalf In telling
the story of his whereabouts on the day
Msrcum was assassinated he put on
bold front. He said he went into thu
court house by side door to investigate
after hearing the shot. The attorne,
for the defense said the defense would
show that only White had entered thu
court house prior to the killing of Mar
cum; that Jet was near the postofiic'
and went into the court house only afte
hearing the shots, his purpose being t.
investigate the shooting.
Ed. Tarp and Joe Crawford, suspected
of setting FIRE to the Even Hotel, were
taken before Judge Redwine by the
military this morning and the judge,
after hearing the evidence in the habea'
corpus proceedings, held the prisoners
for the grand jury.

FROM WASHINGTON.
of the Alexandria Gazette.

! Correspondence OF the Alexandra GaZetP.I
Washington, d. c.. June 10.
This was diplomatic Day" at the
White House. Quite a number of dis
tinguished foreigners called. Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, with various mem
bers of his staff, called to present to the
President Baron Rheinbaden, the Prus-
sian Minister of Finance, who is in this
country studying financial questions.
Upon leaving the White House they
went over to the treasury. Another
distinguished foreign caller was Sir
Chentung Liang-Cheng, X. c. NJ. g.,
the new Chinese minister who came to
present his letters of credentials to the
President.
There is every indication at the Post
Office Department that the officials par
ticularlv interested in the investigation
are laboring under unusually high pres
sure. The daily mail of Fourth Assis-
tlnt Bristow has not been touched. That
official is engaged in his back Office, now
known as the "sweat box" Several in
spectors are with him. Chief Cochran,
chief of the division of inspectors, has
returned from his hurried triptO New
York city, where he reviewed the work
done by the score of inspectors who have
been investigating charges of promo
ton syndicate, and examining particular
ly into the number and price Of
automatic counting machines in
that office and at the sub-stations.
Chief Cochran declines to discuss the
result of his trip. 1t is known however,
that the inspectors here worked far into
the night Saturday, and the greater por-
ton of Sunday and last night. The
general belief is that decided and early
action can be looked for as a result of
their work. Postmaster General Payne's
stenographers and those of several other
departments are bending every energy
in preparing copies of the report of
Fourth Assistant Bristow and his inspec-
tons of the investigation made in 1900 Of
the office of the First Assistant Perry 5.
Heath. Mr.. Payne stated this morning
that he was unable to accurately fix
| time when it would begiven out There
will be no delay after the copies are
made. This work may be completed by
Tuesday.
The members of the executive COM
mittee of Bnai Birth, the great Jewish
international benevolent order, called
upon President Roosevelt this morning

during which they made formal request
that this government lay before the
Car their views on the subject. The
President assured them of his sympathy,
and promised to give careful considera-
ton to their requests, and to afford them
any relief that should be found practi-
