DUNRAVEN ARRIVES, Re- Views of the Valkyrie’s Owner garding Her Merits. HE SAYS HE EXPECRS A CLOSE RACE. Astonished at the General Interest in the Contest. VISITORS TO THE YACHT. LORD DUNRAVEN ARRIVES. - The Owner of the Valkyrt: New York ¥acht»men. NEW YORK, Sept. ‘8—Lord Dunraven and his party were met at the Cunard line wharf as the Campania came in this morn- ing by the cup committee and a delega- tion from the New York Yacht Club. H. Maitland Kersey, the -representative in this country of Lord Dunraven, met him at quarantine and boarded the steamer. The earl and the courtess, with thelr ac- companying guests, were escorted to the Hotel Waldorf, where preparations have been made to receive them. : No formal program will be arranged for the entertainment of the diatinguished guests until they have had a chance to rest from the voyage. In an interview on board the Campafiia the Earl of Dunraven said: “Really, I don’t know what to say. We don’t have much of this sort of thing in England, you know. In fact, the datly papers there do not make much of yachting, and leave it entirely to the yachting papers. It Is quite a revela- tion ‘to see the papers ‘here take so much interest in the and it makes me feel,as though I were a person of some import- ance,” laughed the earl, “for at home the reporters pone notios me, and this recep- lon by you gentlemen of the press is qui unexpected.” _ Continuing, the earl sald that he of course thought his yacht had a chance to win or she would not be here. “We may be beaten, but we shall have had acme sport at any rate. I had the yacht built to race in a friendly spirit, and to see the race. I do not know who will represent me on board the Vigilant. I will personally, be on the Valkyrie.” In reply to a question as to what he thought of the Britannia as compared with the Valkyrie he replied that he considered the latter superior. He said that he was not surprised that the Valkyrie had not arrived bere until yesterday, as orders had been given to come eastly and sure. The representative of a German new paper asked the earl what he thought of the Emperor of Germany as a yachtsman, but the earl instead of replying, looked at the reporter sharply and continued speaking about the Valkyrie. Then he added that he regretted exceed- ingly that the Navahoe was so unfortunate, as he would like to have seen Carroll win a few cups, he beimg such a plucky fellow and having done so much to establish the friendly feeling between the yachtsmen of the two countries. In conclusion the earl said: “While I am not sanguine of winning, yet I entertain hopes. I know the Vigilant is fast and a worthy competitor, indeed, and that the result will be close, unless’ the Vigilant ls very, very fast.” The party with the earl are Lord Or- monde, vice president of the Royal Yacht Squadron; Lord Wolverton, H. R. An- grische and Arthur Paget, members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and Charles Kerr, cousin by marriage to Lord Dunraven. Soon after arriving at the hotel the earl and his friends went to Bay Ridge om a special tug to see the Valkyrie. Visiting the Valkyrie, ‘The Valkyrie -was movei up from her berth yesterday to a point 300 yards off the dock of the Atlantic Yacht Club. She looked more like a racer this morning than when she arrived under her jury rig yesterday. AN day yesterday she was sur- rounded by small boats and tugs, and this morning early the visitors began to arrive. It was not long before the anchorage waters of the Atlantic Yacht Club were dotted with small craft, the occupants of which viewed her on ‘all sides, and seemed to be well pleased with her appearance. ‘The Valkyrie certainly: looked better this morning than she did yesterday, for the jury rig had disappeared entirely, and the saliors worked with such u will that be- fore night she will be nearly ready for a trial spin. Those on board of the yacht were glad to see their fellows who came on the Paris this morning, and the twelve men were transferred in a tug. The additional men were not long in getting to work. and were evidently glad to be on the Valkyrie's deck again. It has now been decided that the Valkyrie will take several spins down the bay before she ts hauled into dry dock to prepare for the races, and it ts just possible that: she ™may go out on Monday, although the first trip may not take place until Tuesday. Lord Dunraven will probably decide upon the yacht’s movements some time today. _ TERMS SETTLED ON. Met by Mitchell Signs Articles of Agreement to Fight on Coney Island.

Spagial Gable Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Sept. 23—Today’s market opened"*at slight variations either way from last night's closing, and was 4 mere duplication of the week's lifeless and disin- terested trading. z London was lower ‘and shows. a disposi- tion to sell rather than buy our securities, while the element of risk is as-gteat as t Had it now is, because of the uncertainty con- |, cerning the settlement of,our money policy. In the first hour Sugar and Erie were. most conspicuous and monopolized the at-/ tention: of -traders.’ ‘The former advanced 3-4 of a point on manipulation and the lat ter declined 1 1-8 per cent, to 13, on fears of an assessment. Officers of the Erie com- pany have repeatedly denied that the stock will be assessed, but have not been success- ful in diverting the attention of the bears. Burlington. was comparatively active, and declined 11-4 per cent, to 8 7-8, and Chi- cago Gas was sold down to 56'7-8, a loss of 17-8 per cent. Affairs are growing more serious with the Big Four employes and they have refused to hold ‘any further conferences with Pres- ident Ingalls until the company Is willing to submit to a compromise. Both sides are determined and there is every indication of @ general strike and tie-up along the lines of that company. The stock sold down today to 333-8, the lowest point for the week. The prospects of a good bank statement made traders hesitate to follow their views on the general situation, which are now inclined toward lower prices. They were not disposed to buy for weightier reasons, and stagnation was the only middle course. The banks again made a splendid show- ing, but as usual the market took the news with @ disinterested calmness and prices Were but little affected. The banks have gained during the week’ $8,675,000 in lawful mor.ey, and as loans have not been reduced materially, a large part of the gain shows in the, deposits, ‘The increase in reserve brings the surplus up to $17,780,006 above legal requirements and should result in a further easing up in money rates next week and retirement of clearing house cer- tificates: ‘The statement in detail follows: Reserve, Increased, $7,008,250; loans, decreased, $735, 200; specie, increased, $5,305,500; legals, in- creased, - $3,471,100; deposits, increased, $6, 873,400; circulation, increased, $86,700. | * ‘The clearing house loan ‘committze re- tired $60,000 additional certificates today, leaving $28,680,000 still outstanding.

The same may also be said of the London market, In view of this prices for several days have been sagging, althouch one noticeable feature is that long stocks do not come out, and the bears, while they induige'in their usual pessimistic valk, do not care to add materially to their out- standing short contracts. I regard the re- peal of the Sherman act as inevitable within a comparatively short period. After having withstood its dangers for so many months ‘and years, a few days" extra de- lay; is of small consequence, except to vl- tra’ sensitive individuals, whose nervous- néss unsettles their judgment.

I have used a few leaves with an ordinary salad, and I have garnished it with the blossoms; and 1 have used the leaves as a sandwich, between slices of bread spread with mayonnaise. I suppose almost everybody knows how nice they are in that way. But in England they pickle the young buds! Now I think it ts a pity to turn the beauty of the plants to such a prosaic use; don’t you?’ “That depends altogether. pon how deli- cious the pickies are,” laughed her friend. “It is true that they have a very delicate flavor, but the seeds answer every pickling purpose, I think, especially If you gather them soon after the blossom is off, while they are young and soft. They are very easily pickled, too. You must prepare the vinegar in this way. “To one quart of vinegar add one pound of sugar, one ounce each of ground cloves, cinnamon and pepper, one tablespoon each Of grated horseradish and salt. Boll avout fifteen minutes and put in preserving jal ery day as you gather the seeds drop them into the vinegar, and when the jars are full, seal them tight.

Mince half of them very fine and divide the others. The sauce should be served in a bowl, separately. “English eptcures are very fond of nas- turtium vinegar, made from the freshly- gathered flowers. For this, the canning bottle is mgrely filled with the vinegar and a small quantity of onion added, also the blossoms. It is then sealed securely, and left to stand for two or three months. It must be strained before using. “Now do-you wonder that I intend to have the whole sof my little garden given up to nasturtiums next spring?” “J do not wonder, I admire. I shall have a little nasturtium farm myself and test all your English recipes.” Sorbets and I The fashion of serving an iced compound known as a sorbet to mark the transition from the first to the second course has been gaining ground, until now it is rarely omitted. In England, at the end of the last and the beginning of this century, punch was almost universally served in this inter- val, When it was not served. as it is still at civic banquets, immediately after the turtle soup. Punch has been replaced by the sor- bet. A sorbet is distinguished by its sem!- solid consistence; the preponderance spirit prevents its freezing as solidly as cream ‘or water tce. To make strawberry sorbet mix four good tablespoonfuls of strawberry jam with the juice of one lemon and a pint. of cold water. Strain it and freeze. Then add a wineglassful of maras- chino and half a wineglassful of rum. Re- freeze and serve garnished with whole pre- served strawberries tossed in a little rum and lemon jutee. Banana sorbet is made as follows: Peel and pound six ripe bananas and mix with four ounces of sugar, the juice of gwo lemons, a pint of water, a wine glass of Jamaica rum and the same of turacoa; strain and freeze. Orange sorbet is a favorite, and ts made by pulping oranges through a fine sieve, and to each half pint of pulp adding two table- spoonfuls of cognac and the same of orange svrup. Freeze till the thickness of batter and serve in ice cups. Peach sorbet is made as follows: Pound about three parts of # large tin of canned peaches to a pulp, add to this half a pint of water, four ounces of sugar and the strain- ed Juice of two lemons. Rub all this through a sieve, then add to it a wine- glassful of maraschino syrup and half a pint of champagne. Freeze and serve in cups, each garnished with a quarter peach, which has been dusted well with sugar, well sprinkled with champagne and left on the {ce until thoroughly chilled. Chow-chow Sorbets—Strain the juice of three oranges and three lemons into a bowl, then rub three ripe bananas and half a tin of canned apricots through a sieve into ft, moistening these latter as you pulp them with about a pint and a half of cold water; then stir into ft about a pound and a half of confectioner's sugar, and when this ts melted freese the mixture.

That recommendation and those letters seemed to have become lost in the murvelous rules and modification of regu- lations of the Post Office Department. Mr. Bretz then sent to the clerk's desk and had read one of the letters on which he based his charges. It was from the postmaster, and addressed to the chairman of the re- publican central committee of the county. It was couched in broken German-English, and greatly amused the House. In it he said that hereafter he would vote. the straight republican ticket: He was sorry that he had not done so the last time. ‘This sentence was received by the republicans with laughter and applause. Couldnt Get a Change. Continuing, Mr. Bretz said that time and again he had applied to the fourth assistant postmaster general to make the change, but the request was refused (laughter). On the 16th of this month he had received a letter from the postmaster which he had filed, on which he had based supplemental charges with the fourth assistant ter general. He asked to have ngs e letter Mr. Burrows (Mich.) remarked that the story was a very interesting one, but he could hardly see how it presested a question of privilege.

In most of the designs the pattern is produced by the use of brass blocks. The colors are then painted on with the brush. Sometimes the Ulwar artist colors the whole of the ground, and at others only part of it, so as to produce very Aifferent effects by ‘the use of the same blocks.

From the Detroit Free Press. Bismarck has won the hearts of “all the German women for his exhtbition of that fondness for kissing fresh young faces for which Gen. Sherman was so famous. Lili Fingelberg, a young German. sculp- tress, went with her sister to call upon Bis- marck in Kissengen. His habit is to let devoted women kiss his hand. When leav- ing, these young women tried to kiss bis hand,but the prince said: “Hold on; we will do that much simpler.” He then laid hold of the two girls und gave each several loud, hearty kisses. The result ts that both young women have be- come famous throughout the empire. Bfsmarck’s habit of letting women kiss his hand has given rise to a strange cus- tom. lections of kisses of celebrated men. Some of these are valuable and most interesting ore so than all the stamp and coin col- lections in the world. Real Bismarck kisses, however, are ex- ceedingly rare, and the Finzelberg girls are the ehyy of all kiss collectors, In certain circles women make col-| A Charge of Bribery. Like the other it was written in broken English and Reading Clerk Koughtaling gave it full justice. It was a letter from the pestmaster to Mr. Bretz, appealing to him thatghe might be retained in office. The postmaster declared that he was a democrat, and went on to say: “I will make you @ present of $15 if you will let me keep the office, I shust make you a present of this sum.” (Laughter). “I hope you wiil keep this letter as strict- ly private between"me and you,” writes the Postmaster in conclusion. (Laughter) On this letter, said Mr. Bretz, he ‘had filed a charge of bribery. He had personal- ly called the attention of the fourth assist- ant postmaster general to the fact, and had asked for a change. He had been refused. (Laughter.) The only excuse that had been given him for the refusal was that he had received a greater number of changes in his district than any other member of Con- gress in the United States. (Laughter. He did not see why he xhould be held up in scorn becuuse he had done that. (Laugh- ter.) He avatied himself of this opportunity to vindicage himself. The responsibility of retaining In office corrupt men did not rest on his shoulders, but on the shoulders of the fourth assistant postmaster general. He then offered a resolution for the appoint- ment of a ccmmittee of three members to Investigate the reason why Robert A. Max- well, fourth assistant postmaster general, had ‘not made the change requested. Not a Privileged Resolution. The Speaker said that this was not a privileged resolution. es Then Mr. Bretz asked unanimous consent for’ its consideration, but to this Mr. (N, Y.) objected and the incident ended. The report of the committee on accounts giving an additional clerk to the committee on naval affairs was postponed until Mon- day; and in the consideration morning hour the House (in committee of the whole) pro- ceeded to the consideration of the bill re- mitting the penalties on account of delay in the cons! of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. In speaking against the bill Mr. Sayers | (Tex.) expressed the opinion that the Ve- suvius was absolutely useless for the pur- poses for which she had been constructed; and in this opinion he was joined by Mr. Hopkins (iL) The Vesuvius a Success. Mr. Fellows (N. Y.) challenged the state- ment that the crutser was a failure. On the contrary, it was a complete success. The Vesuvius was the most destructive engine of defensive warfare that had ever been known. Put two of three of such vessels in @ harbor of the country and the navies of the world coyld not enter. Pending jon, the morning hour expired and the committee rose. ‘The printing bill was then laid before the House as the unfinished business. Mr. Pickler (S. D.) took advantage of a few moments to enter his protest against monometallism and to have read an edl- torial from the New York Press in which the republicans in the Senate are advised no longer to support the Cleveland admin- istration. ———- +02 — THE PROPOSED LOAN. Commissioners Considering Whether to Recommend It or Not. The Commissioners were in executive ses- sion today discussing the estimates of the amount of money required by them in the proper conduct of the affairs of the Dis- trict for the fiscal year ending June 3, 18%, According to the law now in existence governing District appropriations the Com- missioners are required to submit to Con- gress an estimate of the total amount of money required for this purpose each year. This estimate, if accepted, by Congress, is proportioned as follows: One half of the total amount is appropri- ated by Congress from the funds in the United States treasury and one half from the amount received by the District in payment of taxes, &c. If in case the reve- hues of the District fall short of the amount required to make up. its one ‘half of the expense fund, the appropriation by Congress is proportionately eurtailed. The heads of the varjous bureaus under the District government have been pet- sonally examined by the. Commiagioners relative to the actual athounts req for the proper conduct of the departments un- der their immediate supervision. Careful consideration is being given to the question of asking for a $10,000,000 Joan to be used in improvements of streets and roads in the city and suburbs. This loan, if authorized, will of course necessitate the floating of bonds. The question of interest in this connection has not as yet been dis- cussed, but the Commissioners are in favor of floating bonds bearing interest at the rate of about 3 or 4 per cent per annum, to Tun ten, twenty and thirty years, Out of the $10,000,000 that will probably be asked for the engineer department asks that one-half be given it for the construe- tion of necessary sewers throughout the District. The necessity for increased sew- erage facilities duily becomes more ap- parent, and if it is decided to request the loan, ft is thought that this concession to the engineer department will be granted. The estimates will be submitted to Con- gress about October 1. THE YELLOW FEvER. Dispatches Received by Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman on the Subject.
