From the New York Sun, To-day. It is now almost certain that at least three | 70-foot sloop yachts will be built to meet the Volunteer and contest the right to defend the America’s cup. One of these, it is understood, is to be designed by Burgess for a Boston yachtsman, one by Cary Smith for a New York syndicate, and one by William Gardner, the naval architect, who designed the 30-foot Kath- leen for William Whitlock, and Mr. C. W. Wet- more’s “40,” now building at Ayers’ yard, South Brooklyn. The latter 70-foot yacht, it is said, will be for a member of the Seawanhaka- Corinthian yacht club. Since the cup commit- tee announced that they wished yacht owners, no matter from what club, to notify them what yachts now built or to be built by them they wished to enter in the trial races, yachtsmen have been lookin; os records, and some of them have found that it is quite possible to — a %-foot sloop with one of 70 feet water ine. “Look at the work between the Katrina and the Puritan last summer, for instance,” said a yachtman last night. ‘Of course, the Puritan isn’t the volunteer, but the figures are worth considering. In the 37 miles of hard work, most of it to windward, from Oak Bluffs to New Bedford, the Katrina beat the Puritan 8 minutes 52 seconds, She was allowed 7 min- utes 8 seconds. The Puritan covered the di: tance in 5 hours 3 minutes 47 seconds. and the Katrina did it in 5 hours 7 minutes 87 seconds, Nicohe ‘was a good is all the day, oe quite achoppy sea in the Vineyard soun Again, in the run from New Bedford to Newport, 27 miles, the Katrina defeated the Puri- tan 48 seconds. She was allowed 5 min- utes 12 seconds in this race, in which there was also plenty of wind and sea.

Her Plan to Get Means to Build a New War Ship. The loss of the war-ships at Samoa was a ter- rible blow to the navy. Three gallant men-of- war sunk in a night, and the navy already short of good ships! The situation aroused the pa- triotism of the whole country at once and the misfortune was bewailed throughont the land. The Secretary of the Navy has, since the disas- ter, been in receipt of numerous letters of con- dolence, encouragement, and suggestion, re- ferring to ways and means for retrenching the losses. But none exhibit more touching ear- nestness of patriotism than the following, sent by a little maiden of Reading. Pa, where war- ships are myths. It was written neatly and was straight to the point, as follows; “Mr. Tracy: My cousin was on the war-ship and she said the sailors wasted the potatoes, and I thought if they took thinner parings you might bild a ship to send where the others got lost. Iam only eleven but I can take thinner parings, My mother does not know I am writ- ing this.” The Sccretary’s private secretary, Mr. Ray- mond, called his attention to this letter and he directed that it be sent to the bureau of pro- isions and clothing. A reply will be sent to the little girl thanking her for her suggestion. The letter will be filed in the archives of the department, bearing on its back these words, stamped in red ink: “Referred to the bureau of provisions and clothing. The Army Mutual Aid Society. About thirty-five members of the Army Mu- tual Aid society were present at the annual meeting in Gen, Schofield’s office yesterday. ‘The old officers were re-elected for the coming Year asfollows: Gen. Drum, president; Gen. Macfeely, vice-president; Lieut. Duvall, secre- tary and treasurer; Col. Wilson and Major Smart, members of the executive committee. The full benefit—?3,000—was ordered by tele- graph in the cases of Major Williams, medical department; Col. Hate Sick Horses in the Street. This morning in the Police Court there was an interesting question discussed in the case of Mr. Robert H. Hyatt, charged by Agent Key, of the Humane society, with cruelly abandon- ing a horse, It was claimed by the prosecution that a horse belonging to the defendant was taken sick on Ohio avenue and was permitted to remain on the cobblestones until it died, but the defense, represented by Mr. John A. Clarke, showed beyond a doubt that the animal was cared for, and was made as comfortable as ossible under the circumstances. A straw ed was provided and the animal was covered with blankets during the night, Agent Key claimed that the animal should have been removed, but the defendant said | he knew of no way in which he could have re- moved it. Agent Key replied that there was an ambulance for that purpose kept at Me- Dermott’s carriage factory, on Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Key explained that the hot weather would soon be here, when horses would be falling from the heat, and the society is now trying to get a couple of ambulances for use during the heated term. The judge said that it was a very commend- able thing to have such vehicles, and thought that the public should be informed that the ambulance was here ready to remove sick animals, The question of the right of the society to remove such sick and fallen animals came up, and in answer to Agent Key's ques- tions, the judge said that if the proprietor of such an animal should refuse to let the society remove it and permit the animal to remain on the street and suffer, he would certainly render himself liable to prosecution. ‘The court acquitted Mr. Hyatt. Attempting to Rescue a Prisoner. Yesterday afternoon, a3 the emancipation procession was passing 22d and K streets, Spe- cial Officer Jones arrested Peter Gray, colored, for violating one of the ordinances, Three other negros—William Gray, Ira Williams, and Peter Hunter—attempted to rescue the pris- oner. but the arrival of Policeman Elliott pre- vented further trouble, and the entire party was arrested.

Abertive Attempt by Minor Officials to Suppress American Mission Schools. The Department of State hasreceiveda dispatch from Minister Straus, at Constantinople, dated March 27th last, saying that the local authori- ties at Istubigo, province of Beirut, had closed the American mission schools there, and that the mayor of Baalbek, province of Damascus, contemplated closing similar schools at seven of the towns under his jurisdiction. This ac- tion of the authorities was based upon the ground that the schools had not received the necessary permit from the local authorities, and that the managers had declined to stipulate to exclude mosiem children. Mr. Straus immediately called upon the grand vizier, explaining. with reference to the first objection, that while the school managers had complied fully with the requirements in such | matters, the local authorities had neglected to issue the permit for such schools as provided by the regulations, while as to the second, the managers declined to enter the stipulation not to admit moslem children. Mr. Straus’ efforts with the grand vizier were entirely successful and resulted in a telegram from that official to the governors-general of Damascus and Beirut to reopen the schoo! at -Istubigo and not to i terfere with any American schools in their re- spective provinces, but to refer complaints, if any, to Constantinople. Subsequent orders show that the orders have been obeyed. ALEXANDRIA. Reported for Tz Evextno Star. A Muca-Governrp Crry.—Washington may be the bigger city, but Alexandria has the me governments. It rejoices in three distinct ernments, besides several governmental annexes, First the United States, its custo internal revenue and courts. with the deputy marshal, O'Neal. as the representative of its power.

Then the cor- as the representative of its power. have, too, the county court and its officers as a sort of annex-government, sharing the jail and governing the county from the court-house in the ci The city of Alexandria is a division of the state, like count; and the state laws are administered state officers who carry commissions from the governor of Virginia. Over this ter- ritorial division of the state the commonwealth gives by special charter certain rights of taxa- tion and certain special duties to the “city council of Alexandria,” which is the legal name | of the municipal government. Not long since | corporation bonds were purchased in the name “the city of Alexandria,” but they had to be destroyed as invalid.and new bonds of “the city council of Alexandria” substituted. The three corporate bodies to which the state en- trusted municipal duties to be exercised within the town limits were first, the m and commonalty and next later the city council. This var ment is made still more complex by certain state officials, as the treasurer, sioner of the revenue, &c., are, by virtue of their commissions from the also o cers of the corporation, and both the corpora- tion court and the school board corporation have the right to require of the city council corporation such funds as may be necessary to carry on the courts and the schoois. Hence it happens that corporation officers are frequently chosen at state electior The May election of the odd year, however, held.is for the principal corporation officers only, as will be the case this year. The minor corporation officers are chosen in July by the eity council. ‘Tue Cesareake Prespyreny.—The presby- tery of the Chesapeake opened its session at th rst Presbyterian church here last ev i Rev.

Smith, of the British steamer La Flandre, which arrived at Philadelphia Tuesday from | Antwerp, was the commander of the ill-fated Danmark before her change of ownership, and was very much concerned when he learned of the disaster which is said to have overtaken that vessel. Capt. Smith said that the Dan- mark was a remarkably strong vessel. “In fact,” he added, “she was one of the strongest built iron vessels I was ever in.” In answer to further questions Capt. Smith said that he had crossed very, close to where the wreck was sighted. “If the boats were picked up,” he continued, “by a sailing vessel, her proper course would be to stand for the Irish chan- nel, Of course, no sailing-vessel would con- tinue her voyage with such a crowd on board unless the port she was bound to was the most easily reached.” wen A ie Ms en Poisoned Herself and Her Child.

Dealers Say tt Will be High, but that They Won't Profit. From the New York Horaid. The season is fast approaching when the con- sumption of ice becomes a question of vital importance to most housekeepers, During the past winter there have been many conflicting reports about the ice crop at various places. The supply which interests the people of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City is that which comes from the Hudson river, At many points along its banks there are reports of shortage in the crop, many large houses being entirely empty, while several others that were able to get ice are far from being full, Some for- | tumate ones were able to fill up, buta large | Percentage of the crop is not very desirablé, | being thin and much of it, because it was housed after the thaw of February 16, 17, 18, very badly “struck. This “struck ice” will cause much loss ia handling, beside entailing the services of more men at the icehouses to load boats and more time to load. It will make much more loss | from breakage and waste when delivered to the | wagons in the city than has been the case for the last two years. During 1887 and 1888 the crop has been the finest in quality, and, as the ice-dealers claim, poorest in price. This year, with poor quality ice, there is a probability of @ great advance in price. The ice cut ranges from six to twelve inches, and some of it has a goodly share of snow ice, Being cut late in the winter, it has not the solidity and hardness to it of ice formed early in December or January, The sun is high and days lengthen when February arrives, decreas- ing the nights, the time when most of the freezing takes place, and increasing the ability of a warm sun to destroy the work of a night. A VERY SHORT cRoP. Tho shortage in the ice crop is varionsly esti- atfrom three-eighths to one-half, The | majority of the dealers are inclined to the | ion that there is about five-eighths of a this statement with the as- tive-e.ghths is not equal to alfa crop of good ice put up earlier in the seasot | The Maine r en cut on either the Schuylkill or Sus- nna rivers, and from many po reports of shortage. This will cause a greater “ran” upon the Maine suppl An idea is prevalent that ice can be bronght from Maine at moderate rates to fill up the shortage in the Hudson river supply. A. little investigation, dealers say, will convince one of the failacy of this idea,’ Maine dealers are loath to sell their stock at less than $1.50 per ton on board vessels, Freights this season will probably range from $1.25 to $1.50 per ton, ac- the demand for schooners.

For the past two years there has been great depression in the usiness, owing to disagreements between a few of the wholesalers. These dis rements have affected the whole business, and made o general reduction all around, until, as the dealers claim, they did not get back new dollars for the old ones they had put out. “This depression,” said an iceman, “has led many people to believe that the ice business must be very lucrative when the product could be sold as low as for the last two years and the companies still remain in existence.

Mr. Charles Preston, son of the Haytien min- ister, who represents Legitime’s government, and who has just returned from that turbu- lent republic, was called upon by a reporter im New York yesterday. He declared that Legitime was rapidly putting down the rebels under Hippolyte. and by way of corroboration handed the reporter a copy of Je Monitewr, published in Vort-au-Prince, dated April 4, which con- tained the following from the seat of wa: “Gen, St. Flon Paul, of Legitime’s army, has captured L’Artibomite and is threatening Gonaives and St. Marc. Seven hundred refu- gees have come to his army for protection,” The paper also contains an account of the capture of Hippolyte’s stronghold, Fort Dessalines. The account states that the attack was made at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the fighting lasted until 4 o'clock, at which time Hippolyte’s forces vacated the position. Among the killed was Gen, Bayard, the veteran commander of the place Grand Salines, The total number killed was 44 and wounded 132; 103 prisoners were taken, ‘This battle is eagnnted os a decisive one. Wild Horses in the Northwest. From Letter to the Philadelpiaia Times, Up in northeastern Wyoming and northwest- ern Nebraska many bands of wild horses still roam as fearless and as fleet as in the days when the country was an unexplored wilder- ness. Now that the buffalo has gone here is big game to hunt. All through the west ranch- men and cowboys have regularly organized parties to go out and kill off the wild stallions, The loss of mares sustained by horse- breeders has at last become so large that some measures must be adopted to reclaim stolen away by the wild stallions, In Colorado, Occasionally a male 1s found wandering alone by himself. but he is not a bachelor from choice, having been driven away by the stronger males. porn pa relations are strictly up—that held an even dozen.
