Heavy Weather.

All three boats report that heavy wealth
or was met with nearly all the way along
the course
1t was especially severe when the boats
were nearing the islands. and the clever
work of the Venona in getting we'll to
the eastward enabled her to make the
finish first.
The Dervish was carried by a strong
Southwestern to the south OF Nantucket
shoals, and as n result of the head winds
in the gulf stream, which she reached at
10 o'clock Friday morning. it took her
twenty hours to cross. Her competitors
in class b, the Esperanza and the Zuh-
rah. were in sight continuously until early
Friday. The wind then shifted to the
east and blew hard. especially Saturday.
when the Dervish practically hove to for
six hours under storm topsail and jib.

day night and beat up to the finish mark
forty minutes after midnight.

Dervish, was surprised at the work done
by the Venona and the Marchioness. In

Venona hull down, and lost sight of her
off Cape Cod The commodore said that
a strong southwest wind prevailed for the
first two days. but that 1t was fairly calm
two days she made daily runs of 1872 and
11S miles. The boat met with no accident
and proved to have excellent heavy sea
qualities The Dervishs official elapsed
time was los hours. y; minutes and 40
seconds. The elapsed time of the March
ioness was 1u5 hours, l minute and u,
seconds. The latter boat had no time
allowance.
The three leaders finished on the port
tack. the Nenona with sheets lifted and
travelling fast. The two other yachts
were close hauled and laboring hard in a
heavy sea The Marchioness anchored In
St Georges harbor until morning and
the Derwish laid off until daylight. She
then sailed to Hamilton. where she VISA
followed by the Marchioness.

WANTS NEGROES TO VOTE.
Democratic Representative Depends
IN Them to Defeat Populism.

ATLANTA. April 13.-A sensation has
been caused in political circles by the an
nouncement that Representative l.. +.
Livingston, who is seeking denomination
by the democrats of the fifth Georgia dis
trict, is advising his supporters to vote
against the constitutional amendment
framed to disfranchise the negroes, which
is to be acted on next fall.
Livingston's reason for opposing the
disfranchsement of the negroes is that
he thinks the democrats will need them
to defeat Thomas E. Watson. the populist
leader. Livingston is opposed for renomi-
nation by James r. Mayson, an Atlanta
lawyer. In speeches in Campbell county
Livingston Is quoted as saying:
II advise you all not to vote to disfran-
chise the negroes. for we will need them
in a short time to defeat Tom Watson
and his crowd. which the negro calls poor
white trash With the negro disfranchised
Watson would dominate the state
Livingston's statement has caused crit
icism. Watson and Livingston have long
been personal enemies. The former re-
Gently denounced the representative in
almost unprintable terms.

Big Anti-Gambling Meeting-The
Churches With the Governor.

UTICA, n. Y. April 13.-Gov. Hughes
addressed an anti-gambling mass meeting
at the Majestic Theater in this city yes
terday, attracting a crowd that damned
the house. A resolution was adopted CALL
ing upon Senator Joseph Ackroyd. who
represents Oneida county and who voted
against the bills last week, to change
his attitude in difference to the wishes
of his constituents. A committee of rep
resentative citizens was appointed in
GLIDING men of all parties, to present the
resolutions to- the senator and urge him
to comply with them.

race track must be wrong inside. Above
al the constitution must be obeyed or

Special CabIegram to The Star.

Special Cabegram to The Star
ST. PETERSBURG. April 13.-The i'll
ness of Count Tolstoy is the result of his
imprudence. Despite binding snow
storm and bitter frost. he went out walk
ing lost his way. wandered seven miles
from home and with the utmost diff
suIty. got back half frozen. On the fol-
lowing day. instead Of walking. the count
rode out. Meeting A sleigh on narrow
path Count Tolstoy turned aside to let II
pass. but his horse slid down the slope
and disappeared in deep snowdrift. the
animals head alone remaining visible
Count Tolstoy, however. ultimately man.
aged to reach the road and walk home,
when he took peasant to help him re-
cover his horse.
After these two successive days out.
ings the distinguished novelist was taken
ILL., He suffered temporarily from anemia
of the brain. which produced faintine
fits and loss of memory: also the old in
ternal trouble has again made Itself
slightly felt. Happily. at present the
fainting fits have ceased. his general con-
dition is fairly satisfactory. and there
are no serious grounds for apprehension.
Children for Critics.
Until he was stricken down Count Toll
stoy was wont to ride out daily about
nine miles. despite the deep snow. He
was draped in large yellow shawl. which
covered his waist and neck. He worked
hard in the morning. took the liveliest in
terest in questions of the day and inter-
rogated every visitor on social and politi-
cal problems. Count Tolstoy, who invari-
ably has some work on the stocks. was
compiling a book containing the essence
of his own teachings and ideas. and ex-
pressing them in terms simple enough to
be understood by children. This shall
be my testament. / think ] shall write
nothing more
Sometimes Count Tolstoy would gather
the village children around him. read
what he had written. ask them to relate
1t in their own words, and modify some
expression accordingly. AS usual. en-
thusast friends declare that this is the
best work he has ever written. Respect
ing the Jubilee. which takes place i'm Au-
gust next-the counts eightieth birth
day-Tolstoy said: 1T reminds me of
death. 1t is equivalent to an epitaph.''

Mr.. Rayner had a home there but there
was nothing to shoot except sparrows
Young Rayner has disappeared several

son in his home heard him ask some one
on the other end of the line. What stall
am I in?

of Roche & Coulter. The couple have
three children.

RAISULI'S MEN COULD NOT BE
SURPRISED.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. April 13.-Fourteen Mcors.
thirteen Of them Raisuli's warriors,
stepped out Of Dover train at Cannob
street station the other day, each one
carrying his beloved. though antiquated.
long barreled. flint-locked gun. With a
smiling appreciation Of the welcome ex-
| tended by civilized cities to distinguished
visitors they posed at once for the pho
tographers.
Their arrival in London was the SEQUEL
to visit paid to Morocco by a repre-
sentative Of the Hippodrome. where, CON-
mencdng today. they will daily appear
to celebrate imaginary victories, ride
pell-nell at one another. clash guns and
fire.
From the station TO the theater they
passed in procession by St. Pauls. along
Fleet street and the Strand and through
Trafalgar Square. but nothing they saw
caused the smallest tremor of surprise
or admiration. They were apparently alb
solutely unimpressed by the greatest city
In the world. Asked, however. through
an interpreter what they thought of
London. they replied: Lovely. Wonder
full! Beautiful
Never Saw Wheels.
Two of them rode at the head of the
procession of landaus, while a third, on
horseback. in a red fez and cloak of sky
blue, brought up the rear. Thousands of
people watched them as they passed
through the streets. Since they landed
from the German steamer Gertrud Woer-
mann they have taken everything for
granted They never saw a wheeled We
hicle before that day. but they expressed
no astonishnlent when they sat down in
an electric tramway car, and they made
no attempt to pay the fare. Azeruh Ben
Ahmed. the chief of the group, was dig
nified; the others. including Raisuli's
nephew, smiled.
At Dover they ate three chickens, sew
enty eggs. many loaves of bread. much
butter and salt and an unknown quantity
Of coffee. tomatoes and onions. Now that
they have arrived in fixed quarters, they
will buy a few sheep. They Will kill
them and cook them themselves. as be-
comes good followers of the prophet.
