Digestive principles have been separated from certain fruits and grains, and are now used for preparing an artificially digested food known gg Paskola, co that it is absorbed im- mediately upon entering the system. Paskola long since passed the experimental Stage, and Is being used with success and satisfac- tion by thousands of suffering dysp~ptics.

Vigilant Was Not Prepared to Race Today at Cowes—Western Ball Clabs in the East, RYDE, Isle of Wight, August 14.—The re- gatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club opened today with the race for the vice commodore’s cup, valued at $400, The Vigi- lant was entered, but, much to the disap pointment of all present, she did not start. The Prince of Wales has announced his in- tention of sailing on the Britannia in-every race this week in which she takes part, It was alleged that the owners of the Vigt- lant had not given the satling committee of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club the slightest intimation of their intention not to rage for the vice commodore’s cup, and the commit- tee had been waiting anxiously all the morning for the Vigilant to appear. At 11 o'clock the following telegram from Mr. Gould was received: “Vigilant is unable to start today, as all her standing rigging has. been taken off and has not yet been stretched properly.” The morning was dull and heavy, although @ fresh westerly breeze, promising a good race, was blowing. The dull weather and sea mist, however, seemed likely’ to render @ view of the race dificult from the shore. The Britannia apyeared on ‘the line with the Satanita, and at gun fire a stiffish breeze veering so as to make a westerly start more satisfactory, the sailing commit- tee ordered the yachts té start to the west- ward, the course—fifty miles—being west- ward to and around a mark boat off Cowes, leaving it on the starboard hand; thence eastward, around a mark boat anchored south of the light, leaving it to starboard, from there to and around the Nad light; passing them from the north, and thence westward, passing No Man Fort light to port, and from there to Ryde pler; twice around this course to complete the fifty miles. It was a close reach to the Cowes mark boat, the Satanita forging rapidly ahead. The Satanita won easily. Her lead over the Britannia never fell below two minutes and was increased to four minutes at the The course was covered in the remarkable time of over twelve miles on an average per hour, DENVER WAKING UP. Bicyelists Begin to Arri Crowds for the Annual Meet. The citizens of Denver are beginning to realize that the League of American Wheel- men meets there this week. For the past six weeks crack riders from all over the country have been on the ground accus- toming themselves to the high altitude be- fore the dates fixed for the contests. Sun- day some of the stores ‘began to fling ban- ners and bunting to the breeze, and yester- day delegates arrived in sufficient numbers to indicate a very large attendance and a most successful meet. That it is going to be very fast is indicated by the records that have been broken during the past week by visiting and local riders,and no doubt exists that new records will be made. The races will come off Thursday after- noon, Friday and Saturday, and until then the visitors will be dined, wined and smok- ed and taken by various routes over the many fine cycling roads and through mag- nificent mountain scenery. One of the most enthusiastic, enjoyable and record-break- ing meets in the history of the L. A. W. is expected. The Yesterday's League Games. Uncle Anson’s men continued their win- ning gait yesterday by defeating the Pitts- | burg pirates.

The Allentown club will not desert the Pennsylvania State League to ally itself with the Eastern League. Kelly has been importuned to connect himself with the latter organization, but he said nay, al- though it is suspected he would not be so averse to the scheme if the season were not so far advanced. Albert L. Johnson, the owner of the Allentown club, was at Allen- town Sunday, but made no reference to the proposed desertion from the state league, of which he is president. The sentiment there is against a charige. Negotiations for Mercer. A rumor was afloat yesterday to the ef- fect that Manager Hanlon was negotiating for Mercer, and had offered Hawke, Inks and $1,500 for the promising young Wash- ington pitcher that fooled the champions some days ago. Mercer is a_ first-rate pitcher, and while he was batted pretty freely by the Orioles when they last met him, he fooled the Bostons and other slug- ging teams. Mercer is too good a pitcher to waste his work with the tailenders, and Washington is usually ready to trade a good player if there is enough money in it. With McMahon, Gleason and Mercer, and barring accidents and another batting slump, it would be a good even bet that the Birds would win the pennant in a walk. Manager Hanlon, however, said last night that there was no truth in the rumor, and that no such deal was contemplated.—(Bal- timore American). ‘The D. Defeated. The games yesterday at Capitol Park between the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the District Commissioners’ team was won by the former in six ‘in- nings, the score being 12 to 7. The feature of the exhibition was the “baby’ lay of certain members of the losing club. The batteries were Orspada and Wade, Fuller and Dickinson. NO CORBETT-JACKSON FIGHT. The Pugilists Meet and Declare All Negotiations Off. There will be no fight between James J. Corbett and Peter Jackson, colored. The two heavy-weight pugilists met at New York yesterday afternoon and called each other bluffers, and finally declared all nego- tiations looking toward a meeting between the two off. The two men met at Jackson's room in the Grand Union Hotel, Corbett going there accompanied by Manager Brady, upon re- ceipt of word from Jackson that he could not meet the champion until today. The request for delay angered Corbett and he roceeded at once to Jackson's room. Cross- = the room to where Jackson was sitting, ‘orbett said to him: “I want to fight you. ome, now, get down to bustness.”” “It’s about time vou did,” replied Jackson. This angered Corbett, and each called the other “bluff: “I am too much of a gentleman to call you a Har,” said Corbett when Jackson said THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, _-AUGUST 14, 1894-TWELVE PAGES.

The Creedon-Fitasimmons Fight. ST. LOUIS, August 14.—Dan Creedon has received from New York the articles of agreement, signed by Fitzsimmons, calling for a fight for the middle-weight- cham- plonship of the world and a purse of $5,000 before the Olympic Club of New Orleans,on September 26, Fitzsimmons signed the ar- ticles on Friday. They stipulate that the men must enter the ring weighing not more than 158 pgunds, In the event of a failure to be at the required weight the offender 1s to forfett $1,000. .

The Terre Haute Futurity, Valued at $24,000, Will Be Contested Today. The Terre Haute Futurity, a stake worth about $24,000, and the largest prize ever known cn the trotting turf, is to be contest- ed for today at Terre Hauté, Ind. Although a dozen or more four-year-oids will prob- ably go to the post, the race apparently lies between the two New York youngsters, Mary Best and Silicon, with the odds in favor of their finishing first and second in the order named and carrying off 75 per cent of the rich prize. Among the other eastern entries are Hustler, 2.20 8-4, a very fast colt, owned by William Simpson of New York; Fiilmore, 2.21 3-4, owned by J. B. Dutcher; Congress- mao J. C. Sibley’s Antella; Unkamet, the Ue apt of William Russell Allen of Pitts- ld, Mass., the owner of Kremlin, and Con- gressman W. J. White's Lea, by Sidney. Dancourt, 2.15 3-4; Wistful, 2.17 1-4; Mar- grave, 2. ‘2, and Wilmarch, 2.17 1-4, are the most prominent ones of’ the western ecntingent. - The race is to be trotted on the track where Nancy Hanks scored her record of 2.04, and it promises to be one of the fast- = contests ever seen between four-year- olds. Another feature of today’s card at Terre Haute is the 2.10 class, with Azote, 2.09 3-4; Lord Clinton, 2.09; Pamlico, 2:10 1-2; and Walter E., 2.10, among the entries. As Azote has not yet been defeated this sea- son, his first meeting with so good a horse as Pamltco, the fast stallion that won a heat from Alix at Buffalo last week, is looked upon as one of the most important harness races of the year, National Archery Association, . The sixteenth annual meeting cf the Na- tional Archery Association will occur in this city this week, beginning Wednesday and closing Friday. By the courtesy of the commandant of the arsenal the association will hold Its contests on the upper parade near the new hospital. Owing to the recent strike and the general disturbed condition of business at the west but few bowmen will come from that stronghold of archery, and but a small number of contestants from without the District aré expected. The at- tendance will, however. be large enough to make the matches interesting. During the earlier part of the season the Potomacs have done faithful work, and this year will be able to make a better showing than in 1887, when last the national meeting was held here. The local archers have been shooting more evenly than formerly and the present national champion has been repeatedly defeated in the club contests. This adds much to the zest of the meeting, #8 the outcome is decidedly uncertain, Mrs, Howell, for several years lady champion of the United States, will be unable to be present, but several excellent shots will probably make a close contest for first place. ‘The gentlemen shoot at the ranges from 100 to 40 yards, while the ladies contest at from 60 to 30 yards, and these distances will all be contested each of the first two days. Friday will be devoted to the team contests, in which the gentlemen shoot only at 60 yards, the ladies using both the 50 and 40 yard ranges. ne Lynched the Scoundrels, The two negroes who outraged Miss Potts in Lafayette county, Florida, were caught early yesterday morning. They confessed their guilt and were carried to the scene of their crime and lynched. Miss Potts, the victim of the negroes, is only fourteen years old. She was assaulted on August 6, and left unconscious in the woods. She recovered and dragged herself home and told what had happened. Since then posses have been in parsuit of the brutes. Miss Potts’ mind has been affected by her terrible experience, and {it fs thought that she will never recover. MOST WOMEN'S TROUBLES Are caused by a disordered stomach.

A committee was appointed to seek the necessary permission for leaving town with the engine on that day. The Hydrauiton Fire Company will hold @ meeting tonight to consider the same in- vitation, and should they, too, accept, look out for snuff, as there is a great rivalry be- tween the two companies.

Officials File Answer in the Man- damus Petition Case, Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith and Commissioner of Pensions William Loch- ren today made answer to the rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus command- ing them fo vacate and reverse an order reducing the pension of Judge Charles D, Long of Michigan from $72 to $0 should not issue, as prayed by Judge Long on August 4. Commissioner Lochren’s reply is a volum- inous paper, comprising forty-three type- written pages. In opening he avers, upon information and belief, that Judge Long is entirely able to perform such manual labor as may be performed by a person having only one arm, except only labor involving such muscular action as to cause a strain upon the wound in his hip, and it is not believed that Judge Long is entitled, under the circumstances, to $72 per month. After going over the entire case in detail Commissioner Lochren closes by averring that the court has no jurisdiction to grant @ mandamus against a public official of the United States, except to direct that such official perform a specific statutory. duty, and the commissioner of pensions is subject to no specific statutory duty to revoke the order complained of by Judge Long reducing his rate of pension. If that order is illegal, the commissioner goes on to say, it is altogether nugatory and void and of no legal injury to the petitioner, and that Judge Long’s remedy, if any, against the commissioner of pensions is in equity by a suit for injunction. ecretary Hoke Smith, in his answer, states that the Interior Department is organized under a plan which confers upon the commissioner of pensions authority to hear and determine all applications for pensions, and of increases and reductions of pensions. Appeals can be taken to the Secretary from decisions of the commis- sioner allowing pensions or granting reduc- tions or refusing increases. These appeals come before a board of rension appeals in the Secretary’s office, composed of a number of members, presided over by the second assistaht secretary. The board of pension appeals, thus organized, hears and deter- mines appeals from the commissioner of pensions, with a reference to the Secretary in person only of cases of exceptional im- portance. In the case of Judge Long, the answer says, no appeal was entered to the Sect tary of the Interior, and the decision com- plained of is that of the commissioner of pensions alone. Secretary Smith denies that he is a proper party to the procedure for a writ of mandamus, and avers that he had no knowledge of the suspension of Judge Long’s pension, and no knowledge of the grounds of the suspension until after the first application for a mandamus by Judge — against the commissioner growing out thereof. According to the respondent, Judge Long, by failing to appeal from the action of U commissioner and by apply- ing for a mandamus against the commis- stoner led Secretary Smith to suppose that he had abandoned all idea of appealing to the department from the decision of the | instantly kt pension bureau. Since that time, while Secretary Smith has not directed the pro- cedure in the pension bureau, he states that he has felt at perfect liberty to form and express opinions upon the merits of Judge Long's case, and he has done so, Continuing, Secretary Smith claims to show that Judge Long, not having exer- cised his legal right of appeal from the commissioner of pensions, according to the rules and practice of the Interior Depart- ment, and having failed to make any de- mand whatever upon the Secretary of the Interior for action in the premises, the procedure against him is premature. But Secretary Smith presents this fact, he says, solely for the purpose of affecting his own connection with the procedure apd not for the purpose of affecting an immediate pro- cedure against the commissioner of pen- stons. which, .so far as it is affected by the failure of Judge Long to file his ap- | peal to the Secretary, is expressly waived. After denying certain allegauous made by Judge Long, Secretary Smith ends his an- swer in the same language used by Com- missioner Lochren, asserting that the court has no jurisdiction to grant a mandamus in the case, —— Texas Democratic Convention. The Texas state democratic convention will’ be called to order today in the Sam Jones tabernacle at Dallas, which seats 10,000 people. The city is brimful of promt- nent mea and leaders in their respective localities. The hotels are crowded.
