SANDY HOOK, Oct. 9.—The Vigilant, tne Proud cup defender, crossed the line at the lightship, amid tooting of steam whistles, like the wind. From the turning of the first stake boat to the crossing of the line at the tinisn she never wavered in her exhibition of superior sailing qualities. Her safls were filled with @ rattling breeze from the south of west, and she, as well as her competitor, keeled over to the force of the wind, furnishe* a spirited contest that created the greatest enthusiasm. Without @ moment's delay the great fleet of assembled excursion boats and yachts got under way for the city. The clouds of smoke from their funnels obscured the two racers from further view except to those in the immediate vicinity. Immediately the Vigilant crossed the line she dropped her forestay sail and the Val- kyrie followed suit. > FAST LOSING STRENGTH.

Holds @ Short Session Before Calling on the Prosident. > Distinguished People Present —In Honor of a Dead Justice—Admitted to the Bar—Future Proceedings. The Supreme Court of the United States met at noon today and remained in ses- {sion just seven minutes. ‘The court room was filled with legal luminaries and lay spectators half an hour before the hour for meeting of the court. |Many of the latter were ladies, whose i bright millinery gave a pleasant relief to the somber black of the practitioners in- side the bar. In the outer half circle were upward of a hundred folks, while in the coveted space in front of the bench were @s many men learned in the statutes. Amorg ‘those in attendance were ex Sena- tor Edmunds and Chief Justice Webster of Great Britain. The latter is a tall, fine looking Englishman with small chop whiskers and @ very judicial air. He bears @ resemblance, some of the lawyers in the court today declared, to Daniel Webster. He was introduced around generally and shook hands with his colleagues of the American bar most affably. It was exactly 12 o'clock when the court crier rapped on the bench and announced: “The chief justices and the associate jus- {ices of the Supreme Court of the United States!" ssverybody arose and stood while the eight black-robed men filed into the large room from the small apartment on the north end, where they had donned thelr judicial gurb. Justice Gray stood at the south end of the bench, tall and imposing, while the others went behind the screen ‘and filed to thei places from the rear. The Chief Justice waited until all had reached thelr chairs and then gave the nod for all the eight heads to bow low to the respectful audience in front. ‘Then everbody sat down. The Chief Justice, leaning a bit forward on his arm, said that he was grieved to an- nounce that since the last adjournment of the court one of its members had died. He then went on to say that there would be but a brief session for the moving of the admission to the bar of those who desired to practice before the court. Then, in ac- cordance with the time-honored usage of the court, its members would call upon the | President to pay their respects. Business Transacted. Senator Palmer secured the floor at once and moved the admission of Mr. Maloney, the attorney general of Illinois, and another attorney, who are to represent that state in @ boundary line case that is soon to be argued. Then other »motions were made, until quite a crowd had drifted over to the corner where the clerk of the court stood, Bible in hand, waiting for them. The oath was administered to the new practitioners, thirty or forty in number, by tens, and when the process was over there was a brief lull, during which ex- Senator Edmunds arose and said that the members of the bar desired to use the court room for moment after adjourn- ment. Chief Justice Fuller nodded his as- sent, and then gave the crier word to ad- Journ the court until noon tomorrow, When the justices had withdrawn to em- bark in carriages for their trip to the White House Judge Edmunds arose in the front of the bar and called for the attention of the lawyers present. He said that it was desired ‘that members of the bar should meet in the Supreme Court room at 10 o'clock on Friday next, when Mr. Joseph Choate of New York would make an ad- dress commemorative of the life an’ ser- vices of the late Justice Blatchford. Attorney General Olney and his assistants Were present at the opening ceremonies. The death of Justice Blatchford causes a re-arrangement of the seats of the Justices. He occupied the third seat from the south end of the bench. As the members of the court take their seats in relation to that, of the Chief Justice by sentority of their ser- vice, the vacation of this chair caused the arrangement on the north to be as follows. counting from the Chief Justice: Justices Field, Gray, Brown and Jackson, instead of Justices Field, Gray, Brewer and Shiras, On the south side the order is now Justices Harlan, Brewer and Shiras, instead of Jus- tices Harlan, Blatchford, Brown and Jack- son. Justice Hornblower wili occupy the end seat on the south side. sai DETENTION OF THE RUSSIA. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—At the office of the Hamburg-American Packet Company it was taid this morning that no new cases of sickness had been reported on the steam- ship Russia, which arrived at quarantine from Hamburg yesterday, and is suspected of having cholera on board. Manager Boas said that the company had this morning sent down blankets and pro- visions to Hoffman Island, and that the wock of removing the passengers will be undertaken and completed today.

A clerk at $900 is asked for the office of the superintendent of charities. Contingent Expenses. Under this head the Commissioners ask for an appropriatien of $2,300.

For this important branch of the public service the Commissioners have estimated $229,300, an increase over the amount al- lowed last year of $79,300. The increases which are accountable for this difference are important ones. As an instance, a new chemical company 1s asked for Mt.

For the support of this service an ap- propriation of $166,200 is asked, being an in- crease of $41,20. It ts, however, impossible to point out where the increases occur, from the fact that last year the ‘appropriation was made in bulk and this year the Com- missioners have itemized the estimate. it includes,-however, an estimate of 39,0W for sweeping, sprinkling and cleaning streets, $15,000 for sweeping and) cleaning alle: $13,800 for cleaning Pennsylvania avenue and adjacent streets by hand, $30,500 for labor upon unimproved streets and alleys, An appropriation of 32,00 is asked for the support of the parking commission. ‘This is an increase of $/,0W over the amount al- lowed last year.

For salaries in the engineer department a total of $126,512 is asked. While this is a large increase over last year, jt is explain- ed by the fact that the per diem employes who were paid for out of several appropria- tions have all been estimated for on a permanent basis. Several slight increases in the pay of clerks appear.

SILVER AND VOTES. Senate Talks of One, House of the Other. i liens A TILT BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES, —— THE SENATE. ‘The attendance of Senators this morning was much larger than it has been for sev- eral weeks back, so there is no excuse for suggestion of absence of a quorum. Mr. Harris (Tenn.) sent to the clerk's desk the resolutions adopted at a joint meeting of the Memphis ‘Cotton Exchange and Merchants’ Exchange, and said that as these resolutions reflected somewhat up- on himself personally he desired to have them read so that he mignt submit some re- marks. The resolutions having been read Mr. Harris said that those resolutions criticised in terms more or less severe his colleagues and himself as having been derelict in the discharge of their duty to their constitu- ents and in the matter of the repeal of the Sherman law. With great respect to these | excSanges he trusted that they would par-| don him for saying that he had the vanity to belleve that he knew his duty to his con- stituents quite as well as and bly even better than they aid. gage Vhile they constituted a very intelligent and highly respectable portion of his con- stituents they could not forget that they | constituted a very small portion of them. He failed to remember exactly how and when they became authorized to speak for oF represent the views and interests of the whole people of Tennessee, He was inclined to think that if the whole people of the state were appealed to they might possibly repudiate the authority of those exchanges to represent them on that question. He defended himself from the charge of having teatel those changes (a8 asserted in (he resolution) with silent contempt, and showed that he had presented in the Senate the resolutions which they had previowly sent him. He had received, he said, a telegram signed by many Memphis bankers, but had treated it as a personal argument to hi imself, and when a Memphis reporter called on him | and asked him whether he desired to make @ response to that telegram he had Peplied that the question of a zreat policy for People of 65,009,000 was rather too large a subject, too important and too complicated for him to undertake to ‘liscass it 'n a tel egram, a letter or a neway or interview. He had added that he woull discuss the question in the Senate, and thit cvery eli- izen of Tennessee should have the oppor- tunity to understand his v In that there was no discourtssy to the ba actual or intended, and certaia! the exchanges, for they had not appeared in the telegram in any mauner whatever. He had never treated them with discour- tesy. And as to the character of courtesy with which they had treated himself and his colleague he should leave it to to consider and determine for themselves. He had no complaints or comments to make, but he would, with the utmost re- spect and with no feeling of resentment, beg to inform those exthanges that the threat contained in their resolutions had no terror for him. To fail to follow his own honest convictions of duty would be to forfelt his self-respect, and the maintena. of his self-respect was of vastly more tm- portance to him than any office within the gift of any or of all of the people within the universe. ‘That much he deemed it due to himself to say. He had said it and had done. (Laughter.) Mr. Wolcott's Resolation. The resolution offered last Saturday by Mr. Wolcott (Col.) instructing the fintince committee to report a bill to carry out the | bimetallic declaration of the Voorhees sub- stitute was taken up, and Mr. Wolcott ad- dressed the Senate in advocacy of Within the last few days, he said, the worst apprehensions of the friends of silver as to the position of the President had been realized. Mr Wolcott appealed to the Senator from Indiana, who was at heart opposed to the abandonment of silver, who held the key of the whole situation in his hand, to stand with the people of his own coun- try and his own flag against the surrender to British interests. The only hope of silver was in amendment to the pending bill. There was no hope for an independent measure. If the pending. bill should pass the hope which the silver states cherish would be abandoned. and the country would cast its fortunes with the nations of the old world, where “pov. erty comes as one that traveleth and want is an armed man.” The step once taken would be irrevocable, and the Senate owed it to itself and the country not to make a cowardly surrender of the sacred interests with which {t was entrusted. = Mr. Voorhees (ind.) replied to Mr. Wol- cot.’ He denied that the pending bill wourd demonetize silver. The statement that it would do so might be repeated a hundred thousand times and still it would not be true.

On the contrary, the Dill was a better friend to silver money than any measure which could be broug! which bought silver as corn, wheat, oa! and rye. The bill did not touch the’ mon. etary value of silver. It merely said that the government does not want to buy any more silver bullion. Mr. Voorhees defend- ed his position on the silver question from criticisms upon his inconsistency made some time ago by the Senator from Ten- nessee, Mr. Harris, and asserted that he would rather be inconsistent with his whole sense of public duty. Mr. Harris inquired whether the passage of the House bill or of the finance com- mittee subctitute would not remove the last statutory recognition of silver as a money metal. It would leave the silver ready coined untouched and untmpaired, but would it not effectually destroy any hope of the future coinage of silver? Mr. Voorhees repeated his declaration that the passage of the repeal bill would not demonetize a dollar of silver. As to silver bullion, it was a raw material, and the term “demonetization” could not be applied to it. Mr. Harris—“If you pass the pending bili can you utilize silver in any way to increase the volume in the country?” Mr. Butler (S. C.)—“In other words, does it not absolutely stop the coinage of sliver?” Mr. Voorhees—“The Senator from South Carolina does know, because he ought to know, that there is a coinage power left in the Sherman law after the purchasing clause is repealed. Mr. Morgan (Ala) rose to put another question to Mr. Voorhees, but the other de- clined to yield for the purpose and went on with his speech. In answer to another question by Mr. Harris, Mr. Voorhees said that there was enough silver bullion on hand to occupy the next seven or eight years, and that the power to coin that Es] ver was in the Sherman act and would re- main in it after the repeal ing clause. He defended the declaratory sec- tion of the substitute, ahd cited the Magna Charta and the Declaration of Independence as illustrations of the value and importance of such declarations of policy.

Mr. Dockery (Mo.), from the joint com- mittee appointed to Investigate the execu- tive departments, submitted a partial re- port. It was ordered printed. Mr. Aldrich (IIL) opposed the federal elec- tion bill, which was then taken up. He did not know how the federal laws had fultilied the hopes of their friends in the south, but they had acted beneficially, and Congress would be justified in leaving them upon the statute books. He denied most vigorously that the supervisors and deputy marshals appointed in Chicago had been drawn from the alleys and slums of that great city. Mr. Dolliver of Iowa then spoke in op- position to the repeal of the election laws. Mr. Coombs of New York — said that In his remarks he would not att to appeal to party prejudice. He would take the higher ground of patriotism. When he announced that he would vote for the pending measure he was not renouncing his former records in support of the purity of the ballot. When he said that the laws | ought to be repealed he did so from a firm conviction that they were starting the country in the wrong direction. The end could only be anarchy and the destruction of the republic. Confederacy’s Ghost. Mr. Boutelle of Maine in his customary Vigorous style opposed the bill. The issue joined here was not an issue as to the meth- ods of conducting the election. This was not @ trial of John I. Davenport and the United States supervisors and marshals. Nearly every speech made upon the demo- cratic side had clearly demonstrated that there was but one issue presented—the fun- damental question as to the existence of the government of the United He | had been amazed at the freedom with which gentlemen had arisen here and breathed forth the dogma of states’ rights. State- ments had been made which gentlemen Would not have dared give utterance to a few years ago. A stranger im the gallery might hav. thought that he saw a shivering ghost o: the confederacy shooting up and down thi aisles, and in and out of the doors. He was not of that number. A long study of the ozigin, history and public ser vices of the existing democratic party had convinced him that there was only one sub- ject which could unite the party or cali forth its enthusiasm, and that was some project that sought to undermine the free dcm and fairness of elections. These elec- tion laws were the last remaining evideace |— it saves. Hard work wear and tear to things washed (because there isn’t any rub, rub, rub) time, money — all saved.
