Cruise Eastward of the New York Yachts—Navahoe Again Racing. NEWPORT, Aus. 14.—The remain- der of the New York Yacht Club fleet which did not go to the Vineyard on Sat- umlay responded to the signal from the flagship this morning and prepared for the Tun eastward with but a few exceptions. ‘The cup defender Pilgrim did not start. ‘The other three large sloops left the har- bor about 9 o'clock and were practically last of the sailing craft to get under way. Some of the fleet hove thelr anchors as early as 8 o'clock and went outside with the agparent intention of making the run, but nt against time. ‘The start was made from off the lightship about 10 o'clock. 'Th air ts clear and crisp, A brisk breeze blew from the northwest. ‘The sea was calm and conditions were most favorable for a fine run and good racing. Britannia in the Lead. LONDON, Aug. 14.—The regatta of the Royal Albert Yacht Club of Southsea, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is commo- dore, took place today. The Albert Cup was the prize for yachts above 40 rating. ‘The Navahoe, Britannia, Satunita and Col- luna were the boats in this class that started. ‘The course was from a mark boat off Southsea to and around the Nab beacon, then to and around the west middle buoy and back to the mark boat. The course was sailed over twice. There was a good sailing breeze. The Satunita was the first away, fol- lowed by the Navahoe, Colluna and’ Brit- annia in the order given. This order was maintained without material change until the Nab beacon was rounded. The yachts then set their spinnakers and the Britan: nia soon took the lead, with the Navahoe following close behind her. —_—_> THOUSANDS AT THE FAIR. The Attendance Increased by the Low Fares on the Railroads. CHICAGO, Aug. 14—The attendance at the fair today will be largely augmented by three train loads of excursionists, who came on special world’s fair trains. One was from Fremont, Neb., and brought 200 people for a single fare for the round trip. ‘he train was chartered by the Fremont Normal College. ‘The second load of visitors came from Cleveland, and included 230 “Sons of St. George,” who will remain here long enough to take part in the celebration of British day next Saturday. By a strange coinel- dence the municipal reception to the na- tionzlist lord mayor of Dublin takes place on the same day, but there is no fear that the two processions will clash, as they would if the stene was transferred to Ui- ster and the parading forces were Orange. men and home rulers. Six hundred employes of the Pennsylvanta railroad system aiso came in on a special train from points east the sights and study the exhibits which af fect their particular line of work. In the party are engineers, mechanics, brakemen, Station agents, ductors and. employes of the company’s ops. The Pennsylvania railroad provided the men with free trana- portation and their presence on the grounds today is indicated by the keystone badge of the railroad. While the trunk lines east and west main- tain their world's fair rates above a single fare for the round trip it is expected that the pian of chartering trains at a cost to each excursionist of less than a single fare will have the desired effect of keeping up the daily average of 100,00, and give ‘those pages live far away an opportunity to see the air. According to the report presented to the directors by President Seeberger, up to and including August 10, the cost of creat- ing and maintaining the fair was 97.101,- $21.16. This does not include the floating indebtedness, which emounts to several hundred thousands. The treasurer has now on hand cash to the amount of $27,251.91. ‘Treasurer Seeberzer showed the site Fe- ceipts to be $2,820,520.21. From other s mainly concessions, $2,226,920 has been cole lected. The gross ‘dally Teceipts are now averaging $9,000. The expenses are about $17,000. Since August 1 an average of about $10,000 per day has been paid on account of the floating indebtedness. Mr. Seeberger incorporated in his report a statement concerning the souvenir half dollars, showing that while they have had a satisfactory sale since the opening of the fair the demand for them is increasing, with every prospect that the entire issue will be exhausted. ——_—— D IN A BATH TUB.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Encouraged by Saturday's unfavorable bank statement and the continued decrease in railroad earnings the bears succeeded in marking down prices in today’s market. Althougti nearly $14,000,009 in gold came into the country last week the bank statement showed a decrease in specie, proving that the imports were not for the account of clearing house banks, but for trust : pentes “and private ‘concerns who have come into the market as lenders of cur- reney. it is estimated that from $8,000,000 to $1¥,000,000 additional gold will come’ in during the present week and the quantity and frequency of these imports will prob- ably dominate the course of prices during the next few days. ‘The borrowing rates for active stocks have fallen off consider- ably and in many instances the premium has disappeared entirely.

There were numerous petitions presented and referred for the repeal of the purchas- ing clause of the Sherman law—some condl- tionally and some unconditionaily—quite as many against the repeal; several for the freer use of silver as legal tender in the United States and for the appointment of a commission to consider an adequate plan of currency, and some for the free coinage of silver at’the ratio of 16 to 1. Mr. Perkins (Cal.) made his debut in the Senate with the presentation of various memorials from the San Francisco Cham- ber of Commerce, for the enactment of a substitute for the purchasing clauses of the Sherman act; for the «inexalion of the Hawalian Islands; and in favor of the Nicaragua canai. Mr. Voorhees" (Ind.), chairman of the committee on finance, introduced an] had referred to that committee a bill to pr vide for the issue of circulating notes of nationel banks. It provides for the issue to national banks of notes to the amount of the par value of the bonds -leposited or to be deposited by them. The vill is ac- companied by & letter from the Sscretary ofthe Treasury approving of its provi- sions and stating that if it were a law the bank note circulation (on the boris ai- ready deposited) could be increased by $19,000,000. Mr.’ Mitchell (Ore.) gave notice of amendment to be offered to a joiut resoiu- tion to maintain the parity of gold and sil- ver. ‘The amendment, after a iong pream- ble, declares it to be the sense cf Congress that no change shall be made in the tariff laws during the Fifty-third Congress. The MeGarrahan Claim Again. ‘The McGarrahan claim again made its appearance in the form of a Dill to refer the claim to the court of private laad claims, which was introduced by Mr. Tetler (Col.), and referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Vest (Mo.) introduced a ill for the coinage of silver bullion in the treasury, saying that it had been sent to him from New York, and that it met his partial ap- proval. lt provides that (after setting aside in coin and bullion as a reserve such sanount of the silver bullion purchased under the act of July, 189, as shall equal ag the coinaxe value the aggregate sum of*the treasury notes authorized by that act) all the re- mainder of such bullion shall be deemed avaflable for the issue of silver ceriificates: ch remainder or surplus bullion ehali be coined into standard silver dollars, and such dollars shall be used for the redemp- tion of silver certificates, as now require] by law; provided that this shall not be deemed to al’er or amend any provision of the act of July, 18%. ‘The second section provides that national banking associations shall be entitled to receive circulating notes to the value, at r, of United States bonds on deposit, not, jowever, to exceed the amount of capttai stock actually paid in. The bill was read and referred to the finance committee. Senator Hill's Resolation. Mr. Hill CN. Y.) offered a resolution de- claring It to be the sense of the Senate | that no legislation other than legislation 1054 | ertaining to the finance shall be consider- ed at the present extraordinary session of Congress. He asked that the resolution lie on the table for the present. THE HOUSE, When the House met at 11 o'clock this morning there was a larger array of mem- bers present than there was at the corre- sponding hour on Saturday last, but the at- tendance was still far short of a quorun It was composed principally of the no’ men, the old members being general!y a: sent. There were notable exceptions to the rule, however. Mr. Wilson (W. Va.) was early in his seat engaged in earnest con- versation with Mr. Bynum (ind... Mr. Mc- Millin (Tenn.) took his seat shortly efore the gavel fell. Mr. Holman (ind.) read the papers conscientiously, and Mr. Boatner (La.), with hands in pockets, seemed to be cogitating over the silver problem. On the republican side Messrs, Reed and Lacey chatted pleasantly together, Mr. Burro sat with hands folded awaiting the opening of the session, Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) and Mr. Grosvenor pored over the Record. ‘The Early Bird. With the retirement of E. B. Taylor of Ohio from public life, his title as the eariy bird seems to be claimed by Mr. Hendrix of New York. Mr. Taylor was rarely in his seat at a later hour than 9:20, but this morning Mr. Hendrix was in his some time before that hour. He sat in solitary state so far as his colleagues were concerned. None of them put in an appearance unui more than an hour later. Amid the chat- tering of the pages and the deep tones of the Capitol guides pointing out to early and energetic Visitors the various objects of interest, he calmly attended to his cor- Tespondence and sent to his, constituents pies of his maiden effort on Saturiay last. Commitice Annoancements. The Speaker announced the following committee appointments: Enrolled bills—Messrs. Pearson, chairman; Russell (Ga.), Latimer, Hines, Hager, Adams and Gillett (N. Y.). Accounts—Messt's. Rusk, chairman; Payn- ter, Tate, Mutchler, Ikert, Wells, Post, i a ) and Marvin. leage— Messrs. Lynch, chairman; Streit Pendleton (Tex.) and Mahon. 24 Mr. Holman (Ind.) introduced a joint res- olution making immediately available the appropriation for the mileage of Senators and Representatives. Agreed to. The silver debate was then resumed. Mr. Boatner for Silver. Mr. Boatner (La.) was accorded the floor. He spoke from a silver standpoint and charged that the advocates of the Wilson bill—the gold men of the democratic party and of the republican party—were responsi- ble for the excitement which had created the destruction of public confidence and which had caused the runs upon banking institutions. ‘They had sowed the wind and were reaping the whirlwind, and they alone Were responsible for the present financial and commercial scare. He further charged that the democrats from New York and from the eastern states were not prepared to carry out all the pledges of the Chicago platform relative to the currency. Mr. Warner (N. Y.) speaking for the democratic members of New York, piedged to carry out and they intended to carry out every pledge made to the people. Mr. Boatner was glad to hear this state- The bill now presented was intended to repeal a cowardly make-shift and no . He: declared that the democratic party had piedged itself to. bimetnliiam leaving nothing for Congress to do except to fix the ratio. The republican party wes pledged to bimetallism, leaving nothing for Congress to do but to fix the ratio, But the republican party had no respon. sibility for legislation. ‘The. responsitiite rested on the democrats, and ‘the question was whether they would carry out thet pledges. The gentleman from West ‘Wir, ginia (Mr. Wilson) had brought in a bill in which he sought to repeal one sentence. ot cowardly make-shift. It was a make. shift because it put silver on the plane of any other commodity. He insisted ‘that the democratic party should fulfill its pledges to attempt to carry bimetallism into effect. Mr. Layton of Ohio. Mr. Layton (Ohio) spoke, as he sald, as a conservative man. He would vote for the bill under consideration for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill. He would do this, however, relying upon the good faith of the democratic adminis- tration and the democratic Congress that in the coming regular session son ¢ pern.a- nent legislation would be enacted that would give all our people some suitable money worth a dollar ail the world around. Then allow the national banks to irsve notes to the full par value of the bond held by ‘them. And then in order to fully restore confidence the democrats should cal! down the bluff made by the republicans that this Congress did not have aay serious intention to interfere with the McKinley tariff lew. ‘That law should and must be revised. Mr, Patterson (Tenn.) advocated the re- peal of the purchasing clause and criti- cized the amendments proposed to the pend- ing measure. If the government agreed to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 it would at once and abruptly bring the country to a singie silver standard. | In order to maintain silver in circulation | France had absolutely stopped the colnage | of silver and the purchase of silver bullion.

C., August 11, 1Ni3. Hon. D. W. VOORHEES. My dear ‘sir—Your favor of the 10th in- stant, inclosing form of a bill ‘to provide for the issuing of circulating notes to na- tional banks and asking the views of the Secretary of the Treasury as to the advisa bility of tts passage Is received. ‘The enact ment of such a law as proposed would en- able the national banks to issue and put in cireulation at once, on bonds already de- posited with the treasurer of the United States, about $19,000,000 in currency, addition to the amount now authorized: and this, in my opinion, would afford a very considerable measure Of relief to the coun- try under existing circumstances. I there- fore recommend the passage of the bill. Respectfully _¥ J. G. CARLISLE, Secretary.” An Ad tration Measure. It is the intention of Senator Voorhees to have the financial commitiee report this bill at the meeting called for tomorrow and push its immediate consideration. With the indorsement of Secretary Carlisle it may be regarded as an administration measure, and will probably receive the ap- roval of the Senate. In the House it may ave a harder streggle, but it is believed | that ft wili finally be passed by that body. Senator Voorhees has said to an intimate friend that he does not regard a vote on the repeal of the Sherman law as a test of any man’s views on the use of silver as @ money metal. He considers that this law | has been a curse to the business interests | of the country, and has also beea an im- pediment to the fair use of silver as money, and the-efore wants the Sherman law ily out of the way. He will vote for | the unconditional repeal of the law if he | thinks that action proper when the vote is takep. He further that there would be no delay in the Senate. —— ee NEW MEN SIGNED.
