EXPECTED RACE WITH THE SATANITA Mr. Gould, the Owner ofthe Yacht, Much Pleased. eee ANOTHER PRIZE OFFERED QUEENSTOWN, July 25.—Mr. George J. Gould and the-officials of the Royal Cork Yacht Club will meet this afternoon and try to make arrangements for a match to- morrow. But a great deal depends upon { Whether the work of repair to the disabled , af is satisfactory to Mr. Gould and his | sailing master. Mr, Gould telegraphed yes- terday to the Scotland Shipbuilding Com- pany’s yard, at Greenock on the Clyde (where the Vigilant wes altered after her races in Scotland), instructing them to have | another new pair ef jaws ready as soon as possible, and to forward them to Penzance, Mounts bay, Cornwall, in time for them Itc be fitted to the Vigtiant’s gaff before the regatta there on Saturday next. At the Mounts bay regatta it is believed that the Vigilant will meet the Satanita, as well as the Britannia, and some interest- irg racing is. looked forward to. Sank the Valkyrie. The Satanita will be remembered as the yacht which sunk the unfortunate Valkyrie on July 5, on the opening day of the Mud- hook Yacht Club regatta on the Clyde. The Satanita, according to the racing pro- gram laid out by the gentlemen whose yachts were to compete with the Vigilant, was calculated to be able to beat the Ameri- can sloop in reaching the Valkyrie, was to have tackled her in light weather, and the Britannia was locked upon as probably able to defeat her in stiff breezes and choppy seas. But this program was upset at the start by the sinking of the Valkyrie and the disabling of the Satanita, and it would seem to have been probably more upset by the fact that the Vigilant seems able to beat the Britannia in stiff breezes, while the cutter has an advantage over her in ight airs. In any case the regatta in Mounts bay is likely to be mere interesting than any of the recent aquatic events, for it is reported that the Satanita has been greatly im- proved, and some people look upon her as being a better boat than the Britannia. Another Race Proposed. The owner of the Vigilant is highly grat- ified at the reception he has met with here and nas offered a silver cup, which Is to be made in the United States, to be com- peted for at next year’s regatta of the Roy- al Cork Yacht Club. The Britannia walks over the course to- day for the third prize for the big yachts offered for competition in these waters, and as the Vigilant was officially entered, but was unable to start, the cutter adds an- other to the siring of prizes she has won this year. Sir John Arnott, a wealthy merchant of Cork, has offered a cup, valued at 100 guin- e to be competed for in an ocean race between the Vigilant, the Britannia, and if possible, the Satanita. The date of this contest Is to be determined upon by the owners of-the three yachts mentioned. But the finish must be in Cork haroor.

Somethi of Light Sig: A dispatch.to the New York Herald from Greensport, R. I., dated yesterday states that some of the most interesting work of the naval militia embarked aboard the cruisers San Francisco and New York is the signaling. Some of the militia signal men are equal in rapidity and accuracy to the best regular service men, and they rarely miss any opportunity for practice. Besides exchanging many messages with the Ardots system of signals Monday night the San Francisco turned on her search lights. Immediately the New York fol- lowed suit and the militia men were prac- ticed in throwing beams of light froin the great reflectors all around each ship, as if to detect any torpedo boat or other hostile craft that might try to approach the cruisers under cover of darkness. When the New York's four powerful projectors were focussed on the San Francisco the latter stood out ageinst the black distance so radiantly lighted as to resemble a fairy ship suspended on the horizon. The amount of surface Mghted up by the beams was not wholly satisfactory, owing to the height of the lights above the water. The “danger zone,” so to speak, was lim- ited, owing to the great angle at which the beams struck the surface. While the men were at dinner the United States dispatch boat Dolphin came and anchored between the two cruisers. Ad- miral Stanton, accompanied by Flag Lieu- tenant R. C. Smith, paid a visit to the as- sistant secretary of the navy aboard the Dolphin, followed shortly after by Captain Philip and Commander Miller from the | New York. Secretary McAdoo, accompan- | fed by his naval aid, Lieut, W. H. Schuetze, | wishes to see the work of the naval mill- | tia, in whom he takes a great interest.

QUEENSTOWN, July 25.—The question having been raised as to whether the fact that Loth the Vigilant and the Britannia Were entered for today's race, and the Britantia sailed over the course for the prize, while the Vigilant was unable to compete, constituted another victo i the cutter.

Active Measuresto Suppress the Opium Traffic. TACOMA, Wash., July 25.—The United States government is ahout to take up the werk of suppressing opium smuggling with increased vigor. Four fast steam launches are to be purchased to establish a system- atic water patrol an Puget sound and Co- lumbila river. One launch will be stationed at Tacoma, one at Port Townsend, one at Astoria and one at Portland. The customs force in this district will be augmented by the addition of four active young men, who are not afraid, and the launches will cruise corstantly. Other small launches and reve- nue cutters owned by the government will be placed at various points on the sound, Seattle among them, to watch for emug- gling operations. This grows out of the re- cent trip here of Assistant Secretary Ham- lin of the Treasury Department and J. J. Crowley, supervising special agent. Here- tofore smugglers have had a soft snap, ow- ing to customs officers, slow vessels and small fore. Leslie Cullom, special agent of the treas- ury, when told of these increases, said there will be no further excuse for smuggling when the new service becomes effective. More opium is smuggled across the border in this state than at any other part of the Urion. Views of Treasury OMictals. Treasury officials have,.so far, heard noth- gard to his purpcse, as telegraphed from Tacoma today, of recommending the pur- chase of four fast steam launches for duty in Puget sound and Columbia river with a view to suppressing opium smuggling. The scheme, however, has been often recom- mended by customs officials, and it is now thought that Mr. Hamlin’s personal knowl- edge of the situation will result in its being carried into effect. Hitherto smugglers have met with no serious obstacles in their operations, owing principally to the fact that their crafts always have been much faster than the boats used by the officials, and except they were cornered they have had no difficulty in escaping arrest. The value of opium annually smuggled into this country across the northwestern frontie> is believed to be very large, and it has been maintained, for several years past, that the expenditure of 10 per cent of the amount lost would equip the service so it could tically put an end to smuggling opera- 3 in that section. —_— Ri d Organization, NEW YORK, July 25.—The reorganization committee of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Ratlroad Company has decided to assess both common and preferred stocks $25 a P ‘fon: the assessment a first preferred stock in the amount of assessment, which the syndicate will underwrite at 70. The dividend of 7 per cent now paid on the preferred shares rill be reduced to 5 per cent. Under the plan proposed the fixed charges are reduced by about $100,000. It is held that figuring the new preferred stock at 7 the actual assessment would be §7.50 a share, and it is stated that all the shareholders to whom Ne Allen Miners Here. weeks ago the bureau of immigra- tion received information tending to show that alien contract lmborers were being employed in the coal fi of Terry and Ohio.

R. The Motion to Quash Overruled by Judge Woods, CHICAGO, July 25.—In the Debs contempt case tolay Judge Woods delivered a brief opinion formally overruling the motion of the defense to quash the inférmations against the American Railway Union offi- cers. Judge Grosscup then announced that he had taken no part in the decision on the motion to quash, and he announced further that he would take no further part in the | gontempt proceedings, for the reason that the defendants are under indictment in the United States district court over which he presides, and the same questions of law will be raised under the indictments. In fair- ness to the defendants, Judge Grosscup said he would not sit any longer in the investiga- ton of the charge of contempt. After mak- ing this announcement Judge Grosscup left the bench. District Attorney Milchrist announced that Special Counsel Edwin Walker was 11] and could not attend the hearing. He said that he, Milchrist, will go out of office on August 2, and Mr. Walker will be left the scle counsel in the case, and suggested that the hearing be postponed until Mr. Walker is able to take charge of it. After considering the district attorney's suggestion” the court announced that the case would be continued until September 5. Debs and his associates went into consul- tation regarding the giving of bail, and the court adjourned. —— Telegraphic Briefs.

A Midnight Encounter on the Deck of a Schooner, From the New York Times, A life and death struggle that lasted nearly two hours took place Morday night on the deck of the schooner Robert P. King, mile off of College Point, L. I. The fight J. Hall, and Charles Duard, a Portuguese sailor. The only witness of the terrible en- Charles. He could take no pert in the struggle, as he was lying upon the deck with a ragged wound in his left breast, caused by a bullet from the captain's pis- tol. Though weak from loss of blood, the wounded sailor dragged himself about the deck, encouraging his brother, who was also wounded, in the latter's efforts to kill the captain. The three men were the only ores on board the schooner. The Robert P. King came to anchor in Flushing bay between 1 and 2 o'clock Sun- day morning. There were four persons on board, the captain, the Duard brothers, and a woman who acted as cook, The captain went to New York after breakfast Monday morning to get several hundred Collars due he would pay them off. He returned in a dory about 8:30 Monday night. Knocked the Captain Down. When he got on board he found that nis two sailors had turned in, and,as he wanted assistancé in hauling the dory to the deck, he stepped to the companionway and called them out. The two brothers came out of the little cabin in a few minutes, und, the captain says, exchanged some remarks in haul up the dory- and place it on tne port side between the main rigging und the end of the cabin. After turning the boat bot- tom up the captain turned, and as he did so, he says, he received a terrific blow across the face that knocked him «ver cnto the cabin roof. He was up in a second, ard emptied his pistol before Charles Duard fell upon him. Then began a terrible struggle. Charles Duard and the captain rolled over and over on the deck, fighting and each other, the one in constant dread of the cap- tain’s revolver, and the other fighting as only a man can fight when his life is at stake. Charles Duard, whenever opportu- nity would permit, would call out to his wounded brother: “Get a hand spike and fix him The wounded brother would al- ways reply: “I can’t, I can’t; I'm dying.” He kept dragging himself about the deck all the time, however, encoureging his brother to kill the captain. The combat- ants kept on fighting until they were ex- hausted. Then they agree] to go ashore for a doctor for Frank Duard. Exhausted by the Fight. The two men got up, and were almost too exhausted to walk. The sailor went over to his brother and spoke to him, while the captain leaned against the cabin, keep- ing bis eyes upon his assailant. After some parleying as to which one should go first, the two men Ifted the dory over the ves- sel's side, and the captain attempted to get into it. When half way down the little steps he was selzed with a fainting speil, and fell into the boat. The craft careened over and nearly filled with water. The cap: tain came to suficiently to climb back on the deck, and, after a few minutes’ rest, assisted the sailor to lower the yawl. They both got into It. The sailor refused to row to another schooner anchored several hundred yards away, and sterted to bandage up his head, by the captain when the fight commenced. While he wes dressing the wound the cap- tain sculled the yawl over to the other schooner. Her crew saw the boat approach- ing and hailed it. Capt. Hall boarded the schooner and found her to be the Hazel Dell of Blue Hill, Me. Capt. Cozzens. Hall knew Cozzens, but when he entered the cabin of the Dell and got under the rays of a lamp Capt. Cozzens was startled by Capt. | Halfs appearance.” The latter was covered with blood from head to foot. The right side of his face was terribly swollen and discolored, while his upper lip was so thick that he could hardly articulate. Capt. Coz- zens consented to go te the Robert P. King and assist in caring for her injured sailors, notwithstanding that his vessel was short- 4 handed and leaking badly. The Copt Arrested. eway from. the Hagel.Dell and hed pulled up alongside of another schooner, the M. F. Reed, Capt. Finney. As he drew near that vessel he called out: “Murder has been committed on the King, and we want help.” ‘Two men from the Reed started in a boat, ersed half the ers they turned back, afraid that Capt. Hall ould. kill them, as Duard had said he had laughtered his brother. Charles Duard, seeing that the men were coming back, picked up his oars and returned to the king himself. He found his brother altve, and started for the shore. It was just midnight and the police. Three policemen and Dr. A. P. Reimer went to the King in a tug. Hall was arrested. Frank and Charles Duard were taken to the hospital at Flushing, where their wounds were dressed. Coroner John 8. Corey this morn- ing took the ante-mortem statements of both the sailors. Both say the captain fired without provocation, and that there was no altercation. Capt. Hall, they say, owes them almost $300. Capt. Hall told a reporter for the Times that the men attacked him as soon as the dory had been hauled upon the deck, and that the blow he received across the face artly stunned him. He does not know ow many shots he fired. The revolver was found on the vessel's deck and its five chambers were empty. His vessel, he says, left Augusta, Me. in the latter part of June. ——_—_—_+e Labor Movements. All the striking miners. of the McLean county, Tilinots, coal shaft, operated by a company of which Vice President Stevenson | is the president, who have been on a strike ninety days, will resume work. They get the old wages, and go back as union men. Vice President Stevenson w: present at the meeting yesterday at which the agree- ment was reached. The Indian territory miners’ strike was declared off at noon yesterday, the miners accepting the company’s terms. The committee sent to Philadelphia on Sunday to confer with the Berwind-White Company,from the Houtzdale district, failed to return yesterday, though a private dis- patch received yesterday stated that the company would not pay more than forty cents a ton for three feet thick coal. with a better price for lower grade coal, The mass meeting called to hear the report of the committee was, therefore, pcstponed. Yes- terday the company sent forty policemen to its Atlantic shaft, and a lage body of new men are expected, and from now on an earnest effort wil be made to start al) the mines with new men. ——- 20+. A Slap at Senator Gorma Queen Anne's county, a stronghold of Maryland demecracy, the netive county of Senator Gibson, and formerly a firm sup- porter of Serator Gorman, yesterday in con- venticn gave the Maryland Senators a hard slap. The convention held to elect delegates to the district congressional convention adopted resolutions demanding that “The nominee of the district shall gccord Presi- dent Cleveland his full support, and shall be sound on the tariff reform, as the people are not disposed to tolerate nominees who will not actively support true democratic principles. ——— Baffalo’s Reception for Coxeyites. Police Superintendent Bull of Buffalo has received word from the chief of the Detroit police that “General” Jeffries and his 260 hoboes have left that city on the schooner Grampian, en route to Buffalo. If they do not stop at Toledo they are expected to arrive in Buffalo today. The city officials are’ bestirring themselves to give them a right lively reception. The heaith depart- ment will prevent their landing by insti- tuting quarantine against them. The poor department will give no assistance if they succeed in landing, and the police are in- structed to “vag” them as fast as they show foot on earth. Superintendent Buil has received a letter, signed “Avenger, | reading: “If you value your life, friend, don't try to prevent the Coxevites from landing there,” Driven insane by the toothache Monday night, Fannte Welpsche, a young mazricd woman, trie] to throw herself from _ the third-story window of her me in New York city.

The vex? of the city underwent further improvement, as shown by the health de- partment reports, last week. The decline in mortality was equal to about 11 per cent. This occurred in the face of the great hot wave which swept over the northern con- tinent. There was a corresponding decrease in the number of deaths among children under five years old, well as among the aged. Although the colored population is but one-half that of the white, yet the deaths amohg that race outnumbered the white by over 25 per cent. This was owing to the large Infant mortality and may be exceptional. With the exception of whoop- ing cough there seems to be no serious prevalence of contagious diseases: The gen- eral health of the city remains in excellent state, with no sign nor threat of approach- ing epidemic. In detail the report show: Number of deaths, 125; white, 55; colored, Death rate per 1.404 per annum: White, colored, 36.40; total population, 21.68. were under one year old and 21 over sixty years. ‘Twenty-seven of the deaths oc- curred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follow. Zymotic, 45; constitutional, local, 40; developmental, #; viclence, 10; diphtheria, consumption, 13; typhoid fever, 9; conges. tion of the lungs, 1; whooping cough, 8; cancers, 2; alcoholism, 2 - Rirths reported: Thirty-three white males, 33 white femates, 16 colérei! males, 24 col- ored females, Marriages reported: Nineteen white, 6 col- ored. ! ma births reported: Three white, 7 col- ored.
