Disorders In Bohemia.

Vienna, Dec 6. - The Neue Freis
Presse says that troops have been or
dered to march to Bohemia. Serious
disorders are anticipated in Bohemia in
connection with the suffrage reform
agitation. The governor of Bohemia
has notified the government that the
garrisons there are not sufficient to
cope with the threatened disorders. 1t
appears, according to the Neue Freie
Presse, that the movement is not con-
fined to agitation for an extension of
the suffrage, but is tinged with anti
Semitism, which makes the outlook
more threatening.

Superintendent of Motive Power McKeen
left for Cheyenne Monday morning to in

he recently put into service on the Union
Pacific. The machine worked Saturday
over it, He said:

PRISCILLA WINS THE FIRST RACE
MnnawR Boat OutsaiIs Competitors in
Heavy Weather.

heaNy "eatner.
OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug 14-(Special TeIe-
gram. )--This morning in drizzling rain and
a whole sail breeze, the Priscilla from Lake
Manawa, Ia, won the first b class race
twelve-mile trianglar course through a
sea which threatened to swamp the boats
at any moment. The Priscilla behaved
beautifully and showed a pair of clean
heels to the rest of the fleet.
The start was made at l115 a. m, the
boats crossing well together on the star
board tack. To the first buoy was a two
mile beat to windward against tremendous
waves which lifted the boats high and
plunged them down with crash into the
trough. Coming together after splitting
tacks, the Barracuda from White Bear
lake was just astern the Priscilla, with
the Pathfinder from Minnetonka third, fol-
lowed by the Flying Fox, a sister boat
of the Priscilla the Oshkosh, the Leu
cothea and the Klickitat. Keeping the Bar
racouta under its lee. the Priscilla held
its own and was not again headed in the
race. Gradually the first two boats drew
away from the Pathfinder and the mark
was rounded by the Priscilla only twelve
seconds ahead of the Barracuda. Owing
to the driving rain and mist the boats were
out of sight of shore and could not see
the second buoy, two miles away. Con-
sequently on this reach, the Priscilla, lead
ing, could only guess at its location and
to windward, and the Baracouta discover
ing it first gained TO the Priscilla's side
was a struggle between these two boats.
On the run before the wind to the third
buoy the BarraCouta used lts splnnaker'
while the Priscilla carried its balloon 1ib
opposite the mainsail. This run was swift
and spectacular, as the boats rushed along
and at frequent times plunged their bows
through a big wave which washed over
the entire boat and taxed the crews at
the pumps to keep from swampng. Round
ing for the second time the Priscilla was
fifteen seconds in the lead and gained
slightly on all the legs, finishing first, one
minute and thirty-three seconds before the
Barracuda. The Pathfinder came in third
and the Oshkosh, Jr., fourth, while the
other three starters dropped out along the
course unable to stand the seas.
In class A the Oshkosh boat Glyndwar
took first and the Winnebago from Neenah
