PARE OF LONDON, ENG. wei5-12t8 Music Room, 1831 Sth st. nw. An Abstract From the Report of Commissioner Lochren. PENSIONS GRANTED SINCE MARCH 4 Estimates Made of Requirements for the Next Fiscal Year. THE SUSPENSION ORDER. ‘The formal report of the commissioner of Pensions, which is now in the hands of the Secretary of the Interior (and which was this morning released for publication), is supplemented by some later figures of in- terest. A statement prepared at the pension bu- Teau shows that since March 4, 1898, the total number of pensions granted was %5,- 32%. Of these 4,128 were issued since August 26, 1898, and comprise 1,712 original and 1,497 increases. Of the originals issued to sol- diers of the late war 326 were for dlsabill- ties contracted in the service and in line of duty and 816 were issued under the act of June 2%, 18%. The number issued for disabilities coatracted in the service was, therefore, twenty in excess of those issued under the dependent act. The board of re- Vision 1s now disposing of an average of about 1,609 cases per week of those sus- ended under the recent orders of the bu- Teau. At this rate it is estimated that prac- tically all of those heretofore suspended will be disposed of by October 10. It is also estimated that at least 75 per cent of those suspended will be retained on the rolls, though not all of them at their old rates of pension. Estimates. But with this large number of pensions restored Commissioner Lochren estimates that the amount appropriated for this year will be enough and that the only deficiency appropriations required will be $200,000 for special examiners and another appropria- tion for fees and expenses of examining surgeons. ‘The estimates for the year 189 are given as follows: For pensions, $160,000,000; for surgeons’ fees, $2,000,000; for salaries of ‘The commisstoner enumerates the various reforms inaugurated—the abandonment of the completed files system and the modifi- cation of order 164 of October 15, 1890, as to disability pensions, etc. He says on this Faget at “It EA peeteety, clear that un- ler this order granting pensions under this act of June 27, 1890, the act itself was set aside and disregarded, with the result of granting pensions not authorized by any law.” ‘The Suspension Order. In regard to the temporary suspension of order 164 he say “In cases where it was believed that a pension could not be sustained and another medical examination was thought neces- sary the payment of the pension was or dered to be suspended pending investiga- tion, according to the practice of the bu- reau from the ‘ing, and at the proper time the usual sixty- notice was given to the pensioner, within which he could ask for a medical examination or supply further evidence of his right to his pen- sion. This practice of the bureau, always followed, is the correct practice. It Js not the withdrawal or taking away of a pen- sion, but the temporary withholding of its Payment where it appears to be unlawful, pending a proper inquiry. Upon your sug- gestion that even this temporary with- holding might work hardship where, upon the face of the papers, it appears that the penstoner {s entitled to at some leer Tating, the practice has been modified and changed as to the cases under this act so far that suspensions of payment pending the sixty days are only ordered when on the face of the papers It appears prima facie that the pensioner is not entitled to any pension.” ‘The Question of Precedenc Precedence is no longer given to cases under the act of June #7, 1890, but claims for pension under the prior laws, for disa- bilities of service origin, are now adjudi- cated in their order where the evidence is complete. So far from holding back this class of claims the commissioner thinks they should have precedence as being older and more meritorious. He calls attention to the act prohibiting the payment of pen- sions to non-residents who are not citi- zens of the United States except for actual disabilities incurred in the service, and asks that it be repealed. If all non-rest- dents, he says, were refused payments of pension some plausible argument might be made in support of such policy, but none can be urged in favor of this law, which, while giving annoyance to all, strikes only the most helpless. ee AINSWORTH TO PLEAD. It is Expected That Some Action in the Case Will Be Taken Today. Today the time expires in which Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sanse, twice Indicted for manslaughter in connection ith the Ford's Theater disaster of the Sth of last June, were given the privilege of withdrawing their formal plea of not guilty and filing any other plea or motion they might deem proper. This privilege was given in connection with their first in- dictment. Since then a second indictment was found necessary by the district attorney, because Of a failure to properly designate Col. Ains- worth by his true hame in the first one, and late this afternoon, should Judge McComas reach the city in time, the four accused per- sons will be called upon to plead to the sec- ond indictment, returned against them on Tuesday last; which indictment, with the single exception in reference to Col. Ains- worth’s name, is identical with the first one. ‘Up to 8 o'clock this afternoon no motion or other plea had been filed in answer to the first indictment, although it is not im- probable that the expected plea or motion may be filed at the second arraignment of the accused later this afternoon. Mr. R. Ross Perry, counsel for Ainsworth, stated to a Star reporter this efternoon he and Mr. H. &. Davis, counsel for the four indicted persons, had’ not then fully decid- ed just what course would be taken by them in the matter. sans More Money Wanted for the Census. ‘The census is in arrears. It was con- templated that the work would be com- pleted by the last of this year, and this prophecy was made in the first annual re- port of the Secretary of the Intertor, John W. Noble. This expectation will not be realized. The backward condition of the census was brought to light by Interview, held by Secretary Smith with the chiets of division.

What Sort of a Plea He Will Probably Make—If the Case is Tried His Probable Course. ‘Those who are expecting that the plea of Congressman Wm. C. P, Breckinridge, in answer to the allegations of Miss Madeline V. Pollard in her suit against bim for breach of promise, will divulge the grounds of his defense or add in any degree to the particulars of the alleged illicit relations of the young woman and the eloquent Con- gressman, will be doomed to disappolat- ment, for it was stated to a Star reporter upon unquestionable authority that the plea will be of an exceedingly brief ond formal character. The plea will be, it was stated, that which is known to the legal profession as the plea of general tssue. In other words, the plea will merely deny that the alleged promise or promises of marriage were ever made by Representative Breck- inridge. That 1s, he will simply deny that ‘ny contract to marry the plaintiff was ever made or agreed to by him. Must File His Plea by Monday. As explained in yesterday’s Star, Mr. Breckinridge must file his plea not later than Monday next, the 2th instant. When that is done, counsel for Miss Pollard will serve notice of Joinder of issue upon the defendant's counsel, and then the case will be placed upon the trial calendar of the District fupreme Court on what 1s known as the law side of the court, There the case will sleep with hundreds of others for probably two years at least before it is reached in the distribution of cases on the calendar between the two circuit branches of the court. ‘The trial will, of course, be before a jury, unless both sides should agree to submit the case to a hearing by the Judge alone, a course most unlikely to be pur- sued. Although: 650,000 {s the amount claim- ed by Miss Pol.trd in compensation for the injuries alleged? to have been received by her through tHe asserted wrongful acts and omissions $f the Kentucky Congress- man, it would Se within the special prov- ince of the juryto award that sum,or any smaller one down to 1 cent, proved, of course, the jury should find ‘her to be en- titled to a verdict in her favor. Damages to the amount $f even 1 cent would, per- haps, not only be taken as a vindication of the plaintiff, bu such @ verdict would also place the costs lof the suit, both sides in- cluded, upon the defendant Congressman. Judging from! the intimation of Mr. Breckinridge’s counsel made at the hearing of arguments on the defendant's demurrer esterday before Judge Cox, the defense at the trial of the case will undoubtedly use every endeavor to cut out of the trial any and ‘all matters alleged to have occurred during the period previous to Mr. Breckin- ridge becoming a widower. Of course, the case could be settled out of court previous to or subsequent to @ trial, but it is hardly probable that either side will so agree, and in due time a bsttle royal may reasonably be expected. —_———_ THE SILVER SITUATION. There Apear to Be Thirty-Seven Votes Against Repeal. The Senators who did not vote yesterday in the Senate on the motion to adjourn were all paired but Messrs. Cameron, Col- quite, Davis, Irby, Perkins, Sherman, ite and Wrtson-* Of these and the Senators paired a careful estimate made this morning seems to show that im addition to the nineteen Senators who yesterday voted to adjourn there are eighteen others who can be counted on to support silver, making a total of at least thirty-seven votes against repeal. ‘The pairs announced yesterday were: Mr. Bate with Mr. Washburn, Mr. Berry with Mr. Cullom, Mr. Blackburn with Mr. Man- Gerson, Mr. George with Mr. Dolph, Mr. McPherson with Mr. Coke, Mr. Morgan with Mr. Quay, Mr. Palmer with Mr. Hans- brough, Mr. Vence with Mr.McMillan, Mr. Vest with Mr. ‘Aldrich, Mr. Walthall with Mr. Dixon. Mr, Harris had been regularly paired with Mr. Morrill, but transferred his pair to Mr. Coke. Mr. Kyle transferred his ir with Mr. Mitchell of Wisconsin to Mr. jones of Nevada. What the Repeal Men Say. It was sald this morning at the Senate that the repeal Senators were deriving several ounces of comfort out of the votes that were taken yesterday afternoon. The Star representative was informed that one of the managers of the repeal bill had fig- ured that, though there were nineteen Sena- tors voting for adjournment in support of Mr. Wolcott's motion, when the situation tightens a bit more there will not be more than ten men on the floor who will really go to the extreme of filibustering. This, it was assumed, would take from the silver men a strong weapon, as by the Senate's rules it requires the demand of one-fifth of as many as voted on the preceding motion to secure the yeas and nays. The calcula- tion referred to went on the basis that there will hardly be less than sixty votes,cast on any important question from now ‘on, and if the computation is correct the fillbuster- ing Senators will not be numerous enough to prolong sittings by repeated roll calls. On the other hand, it was sald that the actual filibustering strength of the anti- repeal party was shown at its minimum yesterday evening. + 3+ THE HOUSE RESTAURANT ROW. One Phase of It Settled in the Police Court Today. ‘The fight in the Capitol on Monday after- noon during the centennial celebration was iscusged in the Police Court today. Only what took place in and near the House restaurant was told in the case today. William and Martin Flannery, who were errested at the time, will have a jury trial next week, when the whole affair will be discussed. The case today involved two charges of assault against Mr. Thomas Murray, proprietor of the House restau- rant. The hearing today lasted but a short while, for Judge Miller was satisfled that Mr. Murray only did what any other per- son would have done under the circum- stances. The young men said they had taken two or three drinks, and they were in the ladies’ dining room when Mr. Mur. Tay met them. One, and perhaps each of them, had a cigar in his hand, but they said they were not smoking. Mr. Murray told them that smoking in the room was not allowed. He invited them to take a drink, and they went to the bar and hadit. ‘They wanted to reciprocate, but he would not drink with them and left. ‘Then they were refused drinks and in order to find Mr. Murray they picked up articles of glass- ware and started out. This had the desired effect, but when Mr. Murray came and saw what’ they were doing he failed to enjoy the joke and struck them. One of the young men attempted to use a vinegar eruet on him and he ran. There were words about the arrest, but there was no evidence that anything improper was said. Mr. Murray, the court thought, was pro- tecting his property and aa he used no 2 necessary ce the charges against kim were dismissed. ——+ Interior Department Appointment. Campbell W. Pinkney of Maryland has been appointed law clerk in the office of the assistant attorney general for the Interior Department, vice W. C. Pollock, appointed chief of the Indian’ division, Interior Le- partment. —_—___-e-______ reulation Withdrawn. In response to a Senate resolution the Secretary of the Treasury today sent to that body a communication showing the volume of circulation withdrawn by na- tional banks since August 15, 1893, Eight banks that had gone into voluntary liqui- dation withdrew $238,000, while the only withdrawal by a bank in active business Was that of the First National of New York, amounting to $472,000. DEBATE ON CLOTURE Senator Woloott’s Earnest Argument Against the Resolution. MR. TELLER WILL RESIST IN EVERY WAY The Resolution Finally Went Over Until Tomorrow. MATTERS IN THE HOUSE. THE SENATE. Mr. Allen (Kan.) introduced a bill for the coinage of silver money, and it was, at his request, laid on the table for the present. It provides that the unit of value shall be the dollar of 412 1-2 grains of silver or 2 8-10 parts of gold; and such dollars shall be legal tender for all debts, public and pri- vate. Any owner of silver bullion may de- posit in any mint and have it coined into standard silver dollars for his benefit, less 10 per cent seignorage, which is to be coined and covered into the treasury, It also re- peals the Sherman act. ‘Mr. Cockrell introduced @ resolution ecall- ing on the Secretary of the Treasury for information ag to gold, silver and treasury Notes. After it was read the Vice Presi- dent put the question on its adoption, As there was no response on either side the Vice President ruled humorously that, the vote being equally divided, the chair would vote no. ‘This first deciding vote of the pre- siding officer caused general laughter. The Cloture Resolution, ‘The cloture resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Platt (Comn.) was laid ‘before the Senate. Mr. Wolcott (Col.) took the floor to speak on it. The debate on the pending bill, so long as it proceeded decently, in order, and during the usual hours of the Senate, would oc- cupy the time of the Senate profitably, and im accordance with its principles and tra- ditions. But any attempt to impose on the body cruel or unusual hours, or extraordi- nary methods, would be met with opposi- tion unless cloture should prevent it. For that reason he thought it due to the coun- try to know that there was a method of stifling debate in the Senate, and that there was but one method, That method was by the resolution offered yesterday by the Sen- ator from Connecticut, or some similar one. Such resolution could be voted upon in the Senate far earlier than the measure which was now pending could be. A Vote Could Be Had. He could not speak for other Senators on his side of the repeal bill; but he knew that some of them felt as he did, and if the Sen- ate desired a vote on the cloture resolution it could be had without much debate. For his own part he would not interpose the slightest objection to a full and free and fair vote upon the question whether cloture should be introduced. Some distinguished Senators had already put themselves on rec- ord in opposition to cloture; but then (he said bitterly) their former speeches may not control their votes now. Former speeches do not seem to control ‘present legislative action. He repeated that if a vote on the previous question or on cloture were de- sired the Senate could have it in a very sneer would sean PThere would meth- ‘od used to prevent such a vote. He would content himself with voting against it. If Senators desired to change the rules and practice of the Senate they would have no serious difficulty in submitting it to a vote and then the Senate might determine, once for all, as to whether there should be cloture in the Senate or not. But {f there was fall- ure to press such a question to a vote, or if Senators in control of the bill declined to press the cloture resolution, then criticism on the opponents of the bill would have to cease. Senators in the majority might, if they liked, stifle debate by rule. They could not stifle it so long as Senators, acting in the line of what they conceived their duty, and in accordance with the rules, saw fit to interpose such methods as they’ desire. If cloture were applied to debate on the pend- ing question it would have to apply to everything. If Senators desired cloture they had only to unite and press it; and they would find no factious opposition to a vote. But, in his opinion, cloture was not neces- sary, for there had been no factious delay on the pending measure. Unasaal Opposition. But Senators would remember that un- usual methods and unusual process invited ‘unusual opposition. Mr. Wolcott referred to the fact that three seats in the Senate were vacant (from Montana, Washington and Wyoming), and said that if three seats were vacant from New England and a tariff bill were before the Senate the bill would not proceed until those seats were filled. He had no doubt that if the Sen- ators who had been appointed from those states had been democrats or had been op- posed to silver their seats would not have been denied them. He wanted to know why the democratic Senators who professed to favor silver coinage did not report a bill which would make that principle para- mount. Why, he asked, did they leave a great section of the country in impoverish- ment for a long period of time until a sil- ver moasure could become a law? If there was haste to dispose of the Sherman act it would not take twonty-four hours, should the Senators on the other side carry out the convictions which they said they cher- ished, and give the Senate a free coinage measure, and then repeal the Sherman act. If they were friends of silver why did they desire to subject a free coinage measure to the possibility of a veto from the President. It was idle to talk of the action that was to follow the repeal of the Sherman act. It ‘was futile and foolish to talk about forcing Great Britain into an international agree- ment. If Mr. Gladstone had been correctly reported the sentiments which fell from his lps in parliament were most brutal. ir. Teller followed “Mr. ‘Wolestt and closed his speech with the earnest deciara- tion that he would resist, by every method, obstructive and otherwise, the adoption of a rule in the Senate which would limit or restrict debate. The resolution then went over till tomorrow, when Mr. Turple (ind.) {s to speak upon ‘it. The repeal Dill was taken up and Mr. George (Miss.) continued the speech against {t which he began on Wednesday. ‘THE HOUSE. After the approval of the journal the con- sideration of the report of the committee on accounts assigning clerks to committees was resumed by the House, the pending question being @ motion to lay upon the table @ motion made by Mr. Crain (Tex.) to reconsider the vote by which the House yes- terday agreed to the Paynter substitute, de- priving certain of the smaller committees of their clerks. ‘The motion to reconsider was tabled: Yeas, 142; nays, 57. ‘The vote then recurred on the report of the committee on accounts, and es amended it was agreed to. A Question of Privilege. Mr. Loud (Cal.), rising to a question of privilege, said that he had more than a week ago offered a resolution and had it referred to the committee on the judiciary. The com- mittee had not, as required by the rules, re- ported it back. He, therefore, asked that the committee be discharged from its con- sideration and that the resolution be now considered. ‘The resolution requests the Attorney Gen- eral to communicate tothe House such lin- structions as have been forwarded to offi- cers of the Department of Justice relating to the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act. Mr. Oates (Ala.) said that he was unaware that the resolution was in the possession of committee on the judiciary. (Continued on Third page) IN A DENSE €0G-ITHE VALKYRIE HERE. The Situation of the Senate, Filtbusterin, May Prevent the Pas- sage in That Body of the Eleo- = tions and Tariff Bills. A repeal Senator expressed the situation inf the Senate to a’representative of The Star today by saying that they were sur- rounded by a dense fog and could not see shead of them. It had been demonstrated, he said, that the anti-repeal men had force enough to keep up a filibuster indefinitely if they were so disposed. “At present,” he said, “they seem determined to fight until the Voorhees bill 1s killed. The only ques- tion appears to be, can they be brought to yield to public sentiment? If they are not sensible to public sentiment then there ap- pears to be no way out of it.” This appears to be very nearly the situa- tion as well as anyone can understand it. It is evident enough that if the nineteen men who voted against Mr. Voorhees last evening are determined to filibuster until the bill is dead they have it in thelr power to do so. That number of Senators could, under the present practices of the Senate, continue a filibuster almost without limit, and it is said that there are several others who were not then present to vote who be- fong in the ranks of the obstructionists. Plans of the Obstractionists. ‘Their expectation is that, without much Physical discomfiture, they can hold mat- ters in the Senate just as they are at pres- ent until the lth or 12th of November, when they expect the bill for the repeal of the federal election laws to come over em the House, By that time they believe the advocates of the Voorhess bill will have practically given up the fight, unless a com- promise has been reached meanwhile, and that it will not then be difficult to lay the Dill aside and take up something else. But, as they say, if the elections bill should not come from ‘the House by that time, they could keep up the filibustering as much lon- ger as they desired. ‘The situation certainly looks more com- plicated than it has at any time yet, end growing out of this fight over finance there is danger that the complications may con- tinue throughout the Congress, to the detri- ment of all important legisiation. The power to kill off measures by filibustering is unlimited, If there are enough Benators interested to,keep it up, and it can be ap- plted just as"well to other measures as to the one now pending. It is very generally believed that the republicans in the Senate will apply the same tactics to secure the defeat of the federal election bill and the tariff bil) as the silver men are now using against the Voorhees bill. If they do, and keep it up, neither the tari nor the fed- eral elections bill can get through the Sen- ate without a change tn the rules. A General Failure. ‘This opens up the prospect of a very gen- eral failure of legislation during the Fifty- third Congress. It would not be surprising if the House, without difMculty, should pass all the important measures which the dem- cratic managers have tn contemplation, ‘and that all these measures should come up against a solid stone wall in the Senate, rendering this Congress impotent. There seems to be no doubt that the get through its legislation with considerable expedition, and it would be a curious specta- Doning of meamurgy with free hand. and o1 a everything gorged int the! Benate. "a great many men in both houses foresee such a situation and it occasions considerable ap- prehension. The bill for the repeal of the federal elec- tions laws will doubtless pass the House by a considerable majority and other measures are expected to come up after that to fill im the time before a bill can be report- ed, or there may be a brief recess ending on the ist of November. Having finished their hearing, the committee on ways and means are going to work at once to the revision of the tariff and they expect to have thelr bill reported to the House during the first week of November. In fact, there is a very pressing demand upon them to have the bill ready by that time. ‘The Probable Tariff Bill. It is the unanimous sentiment of the democrats of the committee that there should be a broad and general revision, with as great a reduction of duties as can be accomplished within the lines of a reve- nue tariff, and in all probability the bill reported will be much more radical than any yet reported from a democratic ways and means committee. With such a bill 4s is contemplated, the opposition of the republicans will be of the most determined character, and there may be not entire harmony ‘amongst the democrats. But whatever opposition may come from demo- crats in the House, there is every reason to believe that quite a radical tariff bill will pass the House by a substantial majori- ty. This bill may be expected to excite the most determined ition possible from republicans in the te and it is ques- tionable whether they will It a vote to be taken on it there. st the federal elections bill and the tariff bill they might filibuster month in and month out and without some rule to check fillbustering noel democratic majority would be power- jess. A Change Necessary. ‘Therefore, the present situation as to the silver bill and the outlook toward these other measures makes It very evident that there is a pressing necessity for a change of methods of procedure of the Senate. A Prominent republican Senator expressed the opinion to a representative of ‘The Star to- Gay that the experience of the Senate in the matter af the silver controversy would con- vince every one that some rule for cloture would have to be adopted. He did not be- Heve that any cloture rule could be adopted Pending this contest, but he believed that after It was cver there will be a general sentiment in favor of correcting the evil of allowing the minority to hold a power to check all business. The Senator was one Who is on the silver side of this question, wi very ing to use this er as long as the Senate puts ft in his hands, But he thinks that this demonstration of the helplessness of the majority, when con- fronted by a determined will demonstrate the folly of the longer adher- ence to the old-fashioned meth. ee DR. GUZMAN RETURNS. He Comes Back to Represent Nicara- gua at Washington. NEW YORK, Sept. 22—Dr. Horacio Guz- man, the Nicaraguan minister to Washing- ton, who resigned when the revolationists in his country defeated President Sacasa, returned from Nicaragua today on the City of Paris. He has been reappointed minister by President Zalaya and comes armed with special instructions and points in regard to the Nicaragua canal. A reporter saw him today at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Dr. Guzman announced that he was happy to say that the Mberais were in power and that the country had begun an era of prosperity and peace. “President Zalaya,” he added, “is a young man, but he is wise, progressive and just the man for the place. His presi- dency means that no more revolutions will occur. I had not been in Nicaragua before for six years and I must say I was surprised and gratified by the great Progress made in the development of the country. Under the liberal government {t will continue to advance rapidly because the people can be assured of life, lberty and the pursuit of happiness.” “What about the Nicaragua canal?” “My government desires to see it bullt, and will do all it can to facilitate its com- pletion. I have my instructions on that question. The work done hitherto on the canal has been too slow and too perfunc- tory to sult Nicaragua. We wish to see {t put through, but if the constructors per- sist in the same laxity and indifference that characterized the Nicaragua Canal Con- struction Company, now in the hands of a receiver, my government will certainly pro- test.” Repeal Bill in the) Tord Dunraven's Yacht Arrives at New York. TWENTY-NINE DAYS FOR THE TRIP Sighted From Sandy Hook Early This Morning. NO MISHAP HAS OCCURRED. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Sept. 22—At early Gawn this morning the lookout at Sandy Hook marine observatory saw way down to the southeast a sloop in tow. Watching for her to come nearer he made her out to be @ yacht. Expecting the Valkyrie, he made up his mir.d it must be her, but wanted to be sure and waited till she was near the Scot- land lightship, when she set her ensign to the peak. At her masthead she carried the signal of the Royal British Yacht Club. She had mainsail, forestaysail, jib and gaff topsails set. The tug Charm, a well-known boat around the harbor, had her in tow and ‘seemed to glide along with her as if nothing was dragging astern. The American ensign was run up on the large flagmast at the observatory and when she passed the point at 6:07 a. m. salutes were exchanged, Operator Thomas Robinson manning the halyards at the observatory. ‘The crew aboard the Valkyrie were engaged in washing deck and a general cleaning up, and it appeared from a distance as if they looked worn out and were glad to be in harbor. Anchor Dropped. NEW YORK. Sept. 22—Lord Dunraven’s English cutter, Valkyrie, that is to Contest with the Vigilant for the possession of the America’s cup, is in this port. Long and anxiously awaited, and fearful that some mishap had befallen her, the Valkyrie’s safe arrival has brought joy to the hearts of yachtsmen. She was sighted off Sandy Hook lightship this morning at 6:20 o'clock. Two hours and was well and that nothing serious had oc- curred on board during her voyage. It took the Valkyrie a month, all but one day, to cross the Atlantic. She cleared Southampton at half past five o'clock on August 23. At the same hour on September 2% she was seen from the lightship. Now that she has arrived safe E Hl ‘among them now, and taken part in twenty-three regattas, out of which she captured nineteen prizes, eleven firsts, five seconds, and three thirds, Qnce she was disqualified, once she met with an accident, but it is conceded by all bands that she ts the best racer in England, and the worthy competitor of the best racer in America.

In fact, all in all, we have come through with flying col- ors, and in a very few days we Prepared to do our best to carry America’s cup.” When Capt. Cranfield was told got to handle a boat in first-class style, the Valkyrie has that crew. Capt. Cranfield. First among them is Capt. “Willie” Cran- field, who distinguished himself as a skipper on the old Valkyrie and L’Esperance. Next to him is William Harvey, the navigator who brought the yacht Jessica to America in 1891. The other members of the crew are all Englishmen from the east coast, and know nearly everything that is worth know- ing about the sea. Of course, it will take more than twenty-four men to sail the yacht in the cup contests. Ten more sailors will arrive with Lord Dunraven tomorrow. The reason that they did not cross on the yacht was because she would be too crowded for such # long jour- ney. Capt. Cranfield reports that light winds prevailed the first eight days of the voyage, but afterward there was a continuation of gales, with very heavy head seas. The storm blew away the yacht’s storm jib and burst the trysail, but otherwise there was no damage. Capt. Cranfield confirms Capt. Griffith's report of having passed the Valkyrie on the 16th instant. ‘The English Catter. ‘The Valkyrie, like the Vigilant, ts more of ® racer than a pleasure boat. She is built essentially for speed. Mer quarters are cramped, and the crew haven't surplus of room. But in no other manner are the two boats alike. The Valkyrie ts English from England, while the Vigilant is a genuine American boat, a Yankee centerboarder. ‘The races will be a fair and honest test of boat building in both countries. ‘This is how the boats are builts Valkyrie, length over all........ So it will be seen the Fnglish cutter has more length all over, and more Graft. Her bow is an improvement on the bow of the Queen Mab. She has the good points of a cutter and centerboanter. Her counter measures thirty feet. The body of the hull runs aft. The lines are fine. All in all, she is a very powerful boat. ‘The challenge which will ead to the races | of 1893 was received from Lord Dunraven at | the New York Yacht Club December 18 of | last year. The date of the rst of the races was then fixed for September 28, but was Ja- | ter changed to October 5. in February the | conditions of the trial races which were held for the purpose of selecting a defender for the America’s cup were announced. A couple of weeks ago the trial races took place, and of the four boats that took part in them the Vigilant proved herself to be far and away the best. ‘The Vaikyrie has @ good record. She has, time would suit him toa T. “We can get ready easily.” said he. This would seem to indicate that the race will be a sure thing for October 8. ett ceom, Sime MARIE DEOCA’S SUIT.
