There is no reason that I can see why a rich young heiress should not fall in love with a poor young man, whether prince or not, and I'll bet that when a Gould marries the tender sentiment will inspire the match to the exclusion of all others, But if Miss Gould does become the Princess Anna, sister-in-law to Queen Vic- toria’s daughter Beatrice and first cousin to the Emperor of Russia, besides being con- nected with other royal families scattered over Europe, the rigid old society people of Gotham, who have seen proper to hold up their hands in holy horror at the gocial as- pirations of the Goulds, will have the palsy. it would be the richest thing on record in the way of retribution, and I hope Miss Anna will wed the prince, if for no other purpose than to have the 400 abjectly pros- trated at her pretty feet and paying humble homage to her rank.” “Quiet agitation is being kept up among the more advanced thinking business men of New York in behalf of a commercial calendar consisting of thirteen months,” said Henry F. Gregory, a provision broker in New York, at the Ebbitt last night. “Austin Tyler, the inventor, was the first to suggest the scheme, end many financiers and cthers have given it cordial approval. There might be a hue and cry raised against interfering with Pope Gregory's ar- rangement of the months, but the new calendar is proposed for business use strict- ly. The idea is to have each month of twenty- eight days except the thirteenth month. .In ismplifying and expediting the calculation of interest such a plan would be admirable, especially in banks. The odd day could fall in the thirteenth month, which could easily be arranged in the interest tables. Cham- pions of the new proposition say it is gain- ing favor, and argue in behalf of it on the ground that Russia has two calendars, one for business and the other for church pur- “A good deal of interest is being felt among horsemen over the expected chal- lenge of Lucky Baldwin and W. O. B, Mc- Donough for a novel race," said Philip Jackson, a cousin of Richard Croker’s part- ner in the Belle Meade stud, at the Metro- politan last night. “Both men, as you probably know, are Californians, and Bald- win owns the Emperor of Norfolk, while McDonough owns Ormonde, the great sire of Orme and other cracks. The terms of the challenge will be, as I understand it, that each owner shall name a brood mare to be mated to his horse, and that the re- sulting progeny shall be raced in their two and three-year-old form. Ormonde is a greater sire than the Emperor, but Bald- win owns a great brood mare in Clara D., who is the mother of Santiago and Santa Ana. I hear Baldwin has a colt that has never faced the starter, who is expected to capture the Futurity. Better methods are being followed on the American turf, and you may expect to see legitimate running racing regain all its old-time popularity in a little while.” “American railroads can get scme excel- lent pointers from their European proto- types,” said Ralph Aiken of Baltimore at Wormley’s yesterday. “Of course, they are deficient in comforts for night travel, and mary Americans do not like the contracted quarters of the compartments, but in many other things European railroads are far ahead of those in this country.

The day dawned with little prospect of Vigilant weather. The wind was light, and as the morning wore on the breeze did not freshen to any great extent, causing a corresponding fall in the hopes of the ad- mirers and supporters of the graceful Amer- ican racer. Shortly after daybreak this morning steady streams of people began to pour into Kingstown from Dublin and other Places, until Bray Head, Killiney Hill and other vantage spots were black with hu- manity, and Kingstown harbor was early packed with steam and sailing yachts, in the center of which beautiful fleet rode the gallant Vigilant, looking as powerful and handsome a racing craft as ever cleft water. The Course Today. The race today was for a prize of $400, offered by the Royal St. George's Yacht Club, and not for the St. George's cup, us Previously announced. The course was quadrangular and was fifty miles long. The start was from the second or east pier of Kingstown, County Wicklow, to and around the Rosebeg buoy marking the Rosebeg bank off the point of Howthe, County Dublin; thence out to sea and around the Kish light ship; from there back toward shore and around Muglins’ rocks, off Bray Head, and from there back to the starting point; this course to be salled over three times in order to complete the fifty miles. In addition to the main event, the race between the Vigilant and the Britannia, there were on this second day's racing of the regatta of the Royal St. George's Yacht Club nine minor events, with thirty- seve. entries. The Vigilant left her moorings at 9 and went for a cruise outside the harbor in order to test the wind and get her sails in good drawing condition. Nat Herres- hoff was sailing the Vigilant, and he was at her wheel throughout the day’s racing. The breeze at that time was southwest and soft. The Britannia also ran out to sea shortly after the Vigilany. Both yachts had their jack yarders up and also hoisted jib topsails for a run toward Rose- buoy in the preliminary maneuvers in order to catch the line. The spinnaker booms were got ready to a and the two racers headed for the ine. The Start. The Britannia crossed the line two min- utes after the gun was fired from the flag- ship and the Vigilant followed immediately afterward. The Britannia handled her spinnaker most admirably and was the first to have it drawing. The Vigilant’s spin- naker was not pulling until some minutes later. Then the Vigilane soon began draw- ing up on the Britannia’s lee quarter. The times of the two yachts at starting were: Britannia Vigilant «1 20 The spinnakers were barely filling as they squared away for the distance. The American yacht was keeping almost broad on the Britannia’s starboard beam. When about a quarter of a mile away from the starting line, the Britannia dropped her spinnaker and gybed for a southerly draft of air. In so doing she smartly crossed the Vigilant’s bows while the latter was im ing her, and gybed to starboard. Ro! yachts soon changed their spiniakers to starboard, the Britannia, by clever maneu- vering, gained several lengths. The two yachts were then getting more wind and were sailing better. The yachts, when a mile toward Rosebeg, had a pretty aquatle skirmish. The Vigi- lant was trying hard fo> the Britannia’s weather when the latte> luffed up, and both were soon pointing off the course and suil- ing away up the tay. Rounding Rosebeg buoy, the first mark of the first round, the Prince of Wales’ cutter had a lead of thirty-eight seconds. In the open water, afte> having passed Rosebeg, the yachts got a fairer breeze and the Vigilant hoisted a bigger foresail, a baby jib topsail. Both went well southward in order to get the flood tide for the return. By this time a strong southerly breeze was blowing. At the second mark, Kish lightship, on the first round, the Britannia had gained twenty-three seconds on the run to the lightship, and led the Vigilant by one min- ute one second. The yachts reached down to the Muglins speedily, both having their big jib topsails set. The wind, however, softened, and headed them as they neared the Muglins. The Vigilant was then gain- ing on the Britannia. The Vig! it Gainti The Britannia led by only forty-one sec- onds at the Muglins, against a lead of one minute one second at the last mark pre- viously passed. The racers left the Mug- ins in close company with spinnakers to port. The contest on the run nome on the first round was most exciting, and aroused the greatest enthusiasm ashore. Every move- ment of the yachts was eagerly watched by the spectators. The Vigtlant was close in the Britannta’s wake, spilling her wind and trying for h opponent’s weather. The Britannia, however, luffed and bore her down. A westerly wind-check brought down the spinnakers, and the main sheets were hauled aboard. Both boats were forced to gybe on the starboard tack. The Britannia was then broad on the Vigilant’s weather. It was a dead beat home, and the Britannia passed the flagboat at the end of the first round ahead of the Vigilant amid tremen- dous chee-ing for both yachts. The two yachts completed the first ee follows: . 8. Britannia. -1 08 06 Vigilant. 1 08 2% At this point the Britannia had a lead of only twenty seconds against the lead of forty-one seconds which she had at the Muglins rocks. The closeness of the race caused the greatest excitement ashofe. On the second round, at Rosebeg buoy, the Britannia had increased her lead to two minutes nine seconds. En route to the Kish lightship, on the second round, the wind was southerly and harder, and the Britan- nia increased the gap between her and the Vigilant. At Kish lightship the Britannia had still further increased her lead on the Vigilant by forty-four seconds. Both were moving quickly on the reach to Muglins, the breeze freshening finely and driving the race:s through the water in splendid style, much to the delight of their admirers ashore and afloat. The Vigilant, however, appeared hardly to stand up as well as the Britannia. A Thunder Storm, By this time the race had lost a great deal of its interest to the people ashore from the fact that a succession of heavy rain storms, accompanied by lightning and thunder, swept over the coast and drove the specta- ters on land to seek places of shelter. But many of them stood a good drenching socn- er than take their eyes off the racers, The second round was completed with the Britannia well in the lead, as magi Ee Britannia 3% Vigilant 3.37 36 The Britannia at the end of the second round had a lead of 4m. 128. on her op- ponent.

DENVER, Col., July 20.—A special to the News from Fort Sydney, Neb., says: The members of the Denver contingent of the “Coxey army,” who are here under ar- rest, are Nablesto bg afflicted with an epi- demic of typhoid fever. The symptoms are already manifest, and there are at least. three well-defined cases of scurvy, caused by their present food and surroundings. ‘The men have' been’ confined more than a month in a smajl building, hardly large enéugh to accommodate one-half their num- ber. Many of the prisoners have no blank- ets or other covering, and are compelled to sleep on the bare floor, which is overrun with vermin. They are without the most common convenience generally granted to even the lowest class of criminals in all prisons. The sick call every morning brings from 25 to 50 before the doctor. The hospital is taxed to its utmost capacity. A man must be very sick to get there and once in he has to trust to luck for recovery more than upon the treatment or medicine. ‘The guard house, however, is more easy of access and a slight infraction of the rules entitles a victim to a three days’ res- idence there on a strict bread and water diet. The men are guarded by about forty United States deputy marshals, who allow no outdoor ¢xercise, except an occasional bath in the creek. Two scant meals a day are given, generally consisting of boiled beef, often tainted, bread, and so-called coffee. Sometimes alleged “stew” is given, consisting of the same beef, with an onion and a half potato per man. The broth is thickened with flour. Generally the whole mess is badly scorched in cooking, and tastes like burned hair. Once fsh was given, salt as the ocean, partly dried and half cooked, with the heads and scales left on. Beans and cabbages have been given once or twice, but in such small quantities as to be scarcely worth mentioning. ‘The men were arrested at Big Springs, Neb., on June 15, and were herded in this pen of filth for two weeks before a trial was granted. They claim that this trial was worse than a farce, and strongly re- sembled what they. call “kangaroo” justice. None have thus far been informed of any sentencs and several who pleaded not guilty are receiving the same treatment as those who pleaded guilty. The latter claim that they were tricked into making this plea on promises of speedy sentence and re- moval from the pestilential quarters. ————.__ CYCLE RACES AT DENVER.

WANTS AN ACCOUNTING. Money Said to Have Been Wrongfally Taken by Mine Owners. SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—Theodore Fox has commenced suit against John W. Mackay and Senator John P. Jones, C. K. Fish, G. R. Wells and Cornelius O'Connor to obtain an accounting of the affairs of the Consolidated California and Virginia Min- ing Company. Fox alleges that between four and five million dollars have been wrongfully appropriated by the defendants. Fox says that Mackay, Jones and the late James C. Flood conspired to manipulate the mine wholly in their interests. He says the Comstock Mine and Milling Company was paid $7 a ton for crushing ore when $4 would have been a liberal price. As Mackay, Jones and Flood controlled the milling company they received the benefit of the overcharge, amounting to about $2,000,000, Fox also claims that the ore was so crushed as to leave the most valuable part in the tailings, which, when worked over by the mill, yielded the three alleged conspirators an additional profit of $2,500,000, There is also a complaint that Mackay, Jones and Flood caused to be issued to themselves 33,00 shares of stock, at $1 per share, which stock was afterward worth in open market $587,016.

GOOD MILITARY RECORDS Stat Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, IIL, July 19, 1894. With the departure of troops from the lake front Chicago loses the greatest prac- tical military spectacle ever seen within its limits and the second largest assem- blage of regular soldiers that has been in the United -States since the close of the civil war. To the general public the oc- casion was largely scenic, for only a minor- ity seemed to have any appreciation of the services rendered the community and the country by the professional boys in blue, but the intelligently interested saw be- neath the surface of apparent camp monot- ony and were gratified at the excellent showing made in the minutiae which are necessary to the construction of the ideal soldier. But even the unknowing critic was compelled to note one thing, and that was the uniformly good behavior. It is ex- tremely probable that some of the soldiers were, at times, more or less under the in- fluence of intoxicating liquors, but I never Saw even one nor have I heard any one say he saw one. This is a remarkable showing, and an exhibit of discipline of which the army and the nation may well be proud. If adverse comment could be looked for from any source it would doubt- less be expected from the Chicago Times, which has throughout all the troubles been the consistently aggressive organ of the strikers and of those who by any means sought to make the strike a success. Praise for the Soldier. Yet the Times in an editorial on Wednes- day, demanding the immediate withdrawal of the “regulars,” said of them: “During their presence here their con- duct has been above reproach. They have shown themselves a brave, orderly, well- disciplined body of men, who know how to forbear as well as to strike, who have patience as well as firmness, moral strength as well as valor. The officers have on every critical occasion used discretion, tact and cool judgment; the men have shown that high obedience and level-headedness in the face of great provocation which marks the excellent soldier of all history. The Times has nothing but words of com- mendation for the conduct of the regulars, although it maintains that their coming, for which they were in nowise responsible, was a stupid blunder. The Times and the people of Chicago will be glad to say fare- well to the soldiers of the nation—the more so as they can say it tn cordial, friendly tones to guests who, though they came uninvited, have done themselves naught but credit during their stay.” Such commendation from the enemy is worth having. Some of the soldiers of whom these pleasant and truthful things have been said have recetved much less of newspaper credit than is their due. Con- spicuous among these are the officers and men of the squadron of the third cavalry ordered in a great hurry from their station in Ft. Riley, Kansas. The third has been and is one of the real fighting regiments, and this particular battalion has contribut- ed its share toward the regimental reputa- tion. It is rather remarkable that the third is not “distinguished” for anything. Its officers unite in declaring that the organiza- tion is no good—that it can’t shoot, or ride, or drill, or even appear to -be beautiful; but they make no effort to deny that it’ has the “git therest” record of any regiment in the army, and they concede that when- ever the government has any very difficult service it desires performed the third more frequently than any other command is called upon to act. If the regiment had only been whipped out of its shirt twice or three times, or had been indebted to a/ numerically inferior command for existence itself, then there would perhaps be som thing to brag about, but as it has alway: done its own fighting and kept cut of traps, its claims upon glory are too slim to form the basis even of club conversation. On Frontier Duty. It is a long way back to the year when the third or some considerable portion of it has not done active field service. When the war came to an end the northwestern Indian demanded attention, and much of that which was given him was contributed counting of all these transactions, and judgment for such amount as the account- ing shall show to be due. ~~ GREAT RAILWAY COMBINATION. An Enterprise That Will Unite M Roads and Make a New T: k Line. DENVER, Col., July 20.—For some time ex-Gov. John Evans has been devoting his attention to the preliminaries of the organt- zation of the Denver, Sioux City and Lake Superior and Chicago railway. The enter- prise is a gigantic one, and embraces one of the largest combination of railway systems in the history of the world, to accomplish which it is necessary to construct only about 240 miles of railway, covering the dis- tance between Julesturg in Colorado and O'Neill in Nebraska. By this arrangement the Illinois Central, the Chicago, Mil- Waukee and St. Paul, and the Great North- ern railroads will be connected directly with the Rocky Mountain region and have direct connection with all Texas points via the Union Pacifie, Denver and Gulf. From a reliable source it is learned that Gov. Evans has obtained the promise of the Necessary support in the construction of this great railroad enterprise. The governor has prepared a paper setting forth the importance of this line to every business man in Nebraska, Utah, New Mexico, Texas and Old Mexico. It will open ew commercial relations from the City of Mexico to the great lakes of the north and Chicago. The governor is convinced of the feasibility of his scheme. At a meeting of the board of directors a resolution was adopted calling upon “our Scnators and Representatives in Congress” to use their best endeavors to prevent the reorganization of the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf railroad inio the Union Pacific system, as any but its independent manage- nent will be fatal to the new enterprise. A resolution was also reported requesting the holders of the stock and bonds of the Gulf Company to not file their securities with the organization company, as the proposed reorganization is greatly against the inter- ests of the holders of the legal issue of securities. ———— Success of Princeton Geologin: CHAMBERLAIN, S.

They were dissatisfied with the prison bill of fare and declared that no more work would be performed by them until there was assur- ance of a better table. Warden James made an investigation and promised an im- provement, after which the prisoners, hav- ing wor their strike, resumed work. —— Fatal Boiler Explosion. HELENA, Ark., July 20.—The boilers of the saw mill of White & Co., at Kendall's station, blew up yesterday, killing one man and fatally’ scalding two others. The mill | ‘s a total wreck by the third. With the arrival of the cight- jes, the Sioux and Cheyennes were fairly well subdued, but the Apache was on the warpath, and it was to discourage the blood-thirsty Tinneh that the third endured all manner of discomfort in the southwest Since then it has been keeping things quiet on the far-away edges of Texas, has overawed more than one band of would-be violent Indians, has chased the cattle thief until further pursuit was unnecessary, made things so hot for Garza and the border bandits as to cause both sources of disturb- ance great trouble and final inaction, was busy twenty-four hours per day in the ex- tremely delicate work of keeping order at the opening of the Cherokee strip and now helps sustain the law of the land in the country’s greatest commercial city. A considerable proportion of the men in the squadron were never east of the Mis- souri river until this month. Many of them were born in Arizona and prior to this never saw a bigger city than San Antonio, with its 40,000 inhabitants, and, as one tanned troo put “We thought she was a cone An old white-haired sergeant, on the evening of the battalion’s arrival at camp on the lake front, walked up to his captain, and, pointing toward the Audi- torium butlding,asked the captain what that was. He was informed that it was a hotel; that nearly all of the windows in which lights were twinkling represented each a room; that in each room there was at least one individual, and that, furthermore, there were very many other hotels in the city that were almos,t if not quite, as capacious. The sergeant said nothing, glanced once more at the huge mass of masonry, looked with dublousness that could not be con- cealed at the captain, saluted respectfully and went to his tent an unbeliever. He knows more now. Lots of Good Materia Most of the men im the battalion know very much more about Mexican ways than they do about American manners. Lots of them are clever Spanish talkers and more than a few have served all the way from twenty to twenty-eight years with the regi- ment, and have, therefore, great mines of frontier experience to draw from whenever current topics become scarce. In C troop is a horse that has done duty from the Canadian border away into Mexico; has a bullet in his body which was put there in the fight on the Rosebud, June 17, 1876. Major L. T. Morris, who commands the battalion, is one of the most popular of the old-time officers. He has a splendid war record; served on the staff of Gen. George H. Thomas and Gen. R. W. John- son; since then has been wherever there was duty to do. He Is a very fine shot, as active a rider as any man ten years fis junior, an able tactician and personally a very delightful companion. The battalion adjutant is First Lieut. J. T. Dickman, one of the brightest of the younger element on which so much depends, and in whose hands the army's future rests. Lieut. Dickman is an honor graduate of the cav- alry school at Leavenworth, a linguist than whom few are better, a field engineer of exceptional ability and a cavairymap whose activity must have caused the Garza revo- lutionists a great deal of discomfort. One of the officers who served through the war of the rebellion is Capt. “Mike” Elting of E troop. Capt. Elting’s Christian name is Oscar, but the third Insists upon calling him Mike because the name fits him better than that which was given him by his god- father and godmother. Then There is Capt. Bourke, Another veteran of the civil war is Capt. John G. Bourke, well known in Washing- ton, and in other places too numerous to mention. Capt. Bourke ts a good deal more than a soldier, although his military record is a remarkably brilliant one. Enlisting in the Union army when a boy, he served in the ranks untt!

Seaneseseianaaeee careeeaTeTEaTET TE ret ti ttt Gen. Crook's chief of staff, he has much or perhaps more service agal dians than any other officer in the army. In later years he has found time to con- tribute principally to the science of eth- nology some most valuable contributions, and as a- consequence he ranks high among the producers of literature, in which not only this country, but all civilized coun- tries cannot but be deeply interested. Among the most conspicuous of his recent services in his profession was the work dene in suppressing Garza und his sympa- thizers. Through a country of extreme wikiness and among a people intensely hos- tile to everything American he never falter- ed, and it is cruly said of him that he made the American feared and respect- ed in the valley of the Rio Grande. In this work—more difficult than those unfamiliar with the country and the people would im- agine—he had as a willing and enthusiastic coadjutor Capt. F. H. Hardie, who com- mands G troop of the third, and who is also on duty in Chicago. Disloyal women on the southwestern border will use the names of Bourke and Hardie to terrify chil- dren for years to come. Troop F is a Good One. The other troop of the battalion—F—is commanded by Capt. George A. Dodd, and of this organization it is said that no troop in the army can excel it in the matter of drill. Of couse this will be denied by the officers and men of other troops, but there were no denials by any of the troops in Chi- cago, where comparison was easily F troop has cther merits, though, and Capt. Dodd is entitled to more of honor than can possibly come from even high repute as a drill master. The lMeutenants throughout the battalion are decidedly above the aver- age. Lieut. D. L. Tate is a first-class quar- termaster; Lieut. T. R. Rivers of Eli s excels as a tactician; J. W. Heard and L. Cc. Andrews of Hardie’s are far from slow; F. M. Caldwell of Bourke’s did wonderfully well in the Cherokee strip last year, while J. H. Rice of Dodd's can keep up his end with the best of them. But Ft. Riley made more of a contribution than Morris’ squadron of the third cavalry. It sent also three batteries of artillery un- der the command of Major W. F. Randolph. A of the second and F of the second are batteries of 3.2-inch rifles, commanded, re- spectively, by Captains Grimes and Vose. Battery F of the fourth is commanded by Capt. Sydney W. Taylor, and consists of four Hotchkiss guns. Capt. Taylor, by the way, is a Washingtonian, and 13 rather prou€ of the fact that his batetry is the eldest artillery organization in the service. At one time it was commanded by Alex- | ander Hamilton, and it now rejoices in the Possession of a guidon presented by a grandson of the warrior statesman. All the -atteries are at the top notch of working perfection—highly creditable to every one concerned in their condition. The horrible explosion in one of Capt. Vose’s caissons di- rected special attention to the artillery, and has completely upset the idea that artillery service, even in time of peace, is without danger. The destruction wrought by the ex- plosion gave some of the noisy Chicagoans an idea as to what might happen were the guns turned loose on a mob. G. HH. —_————__ ONLY ONE DAY TO WAIT.
