VIGILANT FLEW ONLY “GLORY’ WATER GATE, Isle of Wight, September 5.—A fleet of yachts, large and small, steamers and sailing craft, gathered this morning in and about Totland bay, in order to witness the race for the Cape May chal- lenge cup, between the Messrs. Goulds’ sloop Vigilant and the Prince of Wales’ cutter Britannia. News does not travel as fast in England as it does in the United States, and it was, therefcre, not until today that the yachts- men in this vicinity became generally aware that the Vigilant had lost her centerboard, that the Messrs. Gould had withdrawn their challenge for the cup, and that the Prince of Wales had accepted this ending to the long looked forward to contest. It was a glorious morning, a fair breeze was blowing, and the sun beamed warmly upon the many yachting craft which had arrived in Totland bay during the night and early morning. Many of them had been cruising, others had been racing, corse- quently, they had not learned of the Vigi- lant’s last mishap. Great was the disap- pointment, therefore, when the true state of affairs became known to the fleet. Lord Wolverton landed from his yacht last night with a large party of friends, scme of whom were to have accompanied him on — the Britannia today, but they went away during the day. The Britannia, during the morning, lay in Cowes roads, proudly flying thirty-eight winning flags, representing the number of races she has won this season. She will now be laid up for the winter. Cowes roads presented a beautiful picture, the bright sunshine, the gentle, steady breeze, the calm sea’s picturesque surround- ings being completed by the arrival, later in the day, of the yachting fleet from Totland bay, anxious to obtain the latest news of the collapse of the cup race. The Prince of Wales’ yacht, early in the day, began pre- paring to lay up. Her canvas was unbent, stretched along the decks, carefully dried, neatly rolled up, stopped securely and then lashed in its long, ham-nock-like coverings, Preparatory to being stowed away for the winter. While this was going on, the thir- ty-eight winning flags fluttered over the graceful craft, nearly making a complete line from stem to stern. Every movement on board the cutter was watched with the greatest interest by those ashore as well as by the many people afloat. «mn board Mr. Gould's steam yacht Ata- lanta, which was anchored very near the Britannia, was a group of : terested peo- ple, among whom coull be discerned Mr. George Gould and his wife and children. With them were several friends, who were quite as deeply Intent upon watching what was going on on board the Britannia. The Vigilant, scon after the Britannia spread her winning flags to the breeze, hoisted old glory, as if in proud defiance of the saucy cutter. But the American yacht refrained from displaying her raciag flags. At 1 p. m. she was taken in tow, headed for Southampton, where, it is understood, she will lay up until next year. George J. Gold today, in conversation with a correspondent of the Associated Press, indorset the interview betwe2n the latter and Howard Gould, as cabled iast night. Mr. Gould’s only explanation of the accident is that there was a defect in the casting of the centerboard hook, made at Southampton after the first accident to the Vigilant off the Needles. At the same time he admitted that Capt. Haff thought the Vigilant struck upon the Five Rocks while on her way to Cowes from Dartmouth. Howard Gould said today that it was Practically certain that he would soon re- ceive a challenge for the America’s cup. In this connection he said that he thought that the demand of the English yachtsmen that they should not be compelled to name their challenger until a short time before the race was reasonable. He claimed, however, that they should give the dimensions of the ‘tive challenger. Mr. Gould also approved the idea that the next contests for the America’s cup should take place off Newport, in order to avoid the crowding of the fleet of excursion steamers which gather on the course from New York when international races are sailed in that vicinity. The members of the Royal Yacht Squad- ron continue to express sympathy with the Messrs. Gould in their misfortunes with the Vigilant. The Prince of Wales has telegraphed to Mr. W. Jameson, his representative on the Britannia, his approval of the latter’s ac- ceptance of the Messrs. Goulds’ withdrawal of their challenge for the Cape May Chal- lenge cup. LONDON, September 5.—The Times cor- respondent, describing the mishap to the Vigilant’s centerboard, says: “The chain pendant surged round the winding windlass, breaking away a num- ber of cogs on the spur wheei, as well as two piaton wheels of the multiplying gear. The centerboard trunk and gear were wrecked. Mr. Gould, in offering to race with increased ballast, expressed the opin- jon that in the event of a leading wind prevailing the Vigilant would go quite as fast, and pertaps faster, than if she had a centerboard, but that she would be under a disadvantage should she have windward work.” Concluding, the writer says: “It may be said that Mr. Gould acted in a thoroughly sporting spirit under trying and delicate circumstances.”” Mr. Gouid intends to start for the United States at the end of the month, laying up beth the Atalanta ard Vigilant at South- ampton for the winter. ‘The Pall Mall Gazette this evening, com- menting on the Vigilant’s last mishap, says: “The vexed question of the centerboard seems now to be completely settled. Mr. Gould has been cruelly served by bad luck or by bad judgment.” ‘The Globe, referring to the same subject, remarks: “The centerboard is as much a Part of that vessel (the Vigilant) as her sails, and no one.will gainsay that the Britannia has thoroughly shown her su- periority.” ,Career of the Vigilant. The following record of the Vigilant’s aces In English, Scotch and Irish waters shows that she started in nineteen races, finishing first seven times, was second eleven times and third once. One of her wins over the Satanita not being allowed, she has won only six first prizes out of eighteen starts. Many of her races were, of course, with the Britannia, they meeting in single combat in no less than fifteen of her races, the Prince of Wales’ cutter win- ning eleven times. The Satanita, Vigilant and Britannia raced together twice, the Vigilant winning one race and finishing third in the other, the Britannia being sec- ond on both occasions. The Vigilant and Satanita sailed two races together alone. The American boat finished ahead on both occasions, but has received only one prize, the first race not being sailed within the time limit.

He Makes Some Pertinent Sugges- Regard to the Needs of His Office. tions The annual report of the collector of taxes was submitted to the Commissioners this morning. The aggregate amount of taxes received from all sources was $4,- 067,006. This was divided as follows: Re- ceipts on account of realty taxes, $2,645,- 778.12, From personal taxes, $161,408.84. Water furd, $337,267.60. Penalties, $72,- 186.04. Miscellaneous items, $512,995.10. Collector Davis, in discussing the needs of his office and the current business, says: Some Pertinent Suggestions. ‘We have so often submitted recommenda- tions looking to increasing the efficiency of this office, which have been entirely ignored by Congress, that it seems almost useless to repeat the same. It is plainly apparent that the revenues of the Dis- trict are seriously curtailed by the failure of Congress to give us a new tax law; that the business of the office is embarrassed by the lack of force; that the balance of unpaid taxes, real and personal, carried on the books is misleading, discreditable and inimical to the interests of the District, and that a true balance should be obtained by a systematic elimination from the tax ledgers of charges for property owned by the United States and District of Columbia and property exempt by law, such as church, school and asylum property, and the cancellation of the large unpaid balance of personal tax; that legislation that di- verts the legitimate revenue of the Dis- trict should be repealed; ¢Mfat it would be advantageous to make taxes receivable in one payment, are measures that our ex- perience has taught us are necessary, and they lose none of their importance by the inaction of Congress. Your attention is again invited to the necessity for the adop- of measures covering these points. Bill Relating to Tax Sales. Much thought was given to the prepara- tion of a bill relating to tax sales, a most important measure. It contained all the best features of the law in force in one of the largest states of the Union, modified to meet the conditions prevailing in the Dis- trict. It is no experiment, but is in prac- tical operation, and is considered the best law on the subject extant. The bill pre- pared in this office received your approval after examination by the district attorney, who pronounced it good and sufficient. It was introduced in Congress, and died in committee. It is known as H. R. bill No. 3293, and I earnestly recommend that the same be again submitted to Corgress, and its adoption urged. The District is annual- ly put to the expense of preparing and selling the property delinquent for the previous year’s tax, and under the existing law, owing to its defective provisions, the rights acquired by purchasers at such sales are of such doubtful value as to deter many from purchasing, in consequence the re- ceipts from sales are insufficient to pay the expense of the same. In order to avoid the crowds at the coun- ter, taxpayers who have availed themselves of the privilege of remitting by mail have increased in a remarkable degree. Two- thirds of the receipts on account of the semi-annual payment of taxes are received in this manner. Then, how the small force of this office can make the proper entries and return receipts in any reasonable time beeomes a matter for serious consideration. We are required to answer numerous in= quiries for receipts, well as to correct errors ia bills, checks, &c., all growing out of this system of remitting by mail. This method of payment will doubtless continue to grow in favor, and the difficulty of meet- ing the extra demand upon the office must increase in proportion to the yearly in- crease in the volume of business until the same fs provided for by an addition to the efficient force of the office. More Force Wanted. With the view and hope of obtaining sub- stantial recognition of the recommenda- tion for an increase of force, I have only asked for the appointment of a deputy col- lector. I believe the addition of this officer to our efficient force the first and most im- portant step toward perfecting the organ- ization and increasing the efficiency of chis office. I deen it entirely reasonable, con- sistent and compatible with the dignity and importance of the office that this re- quest should be granted. During our last fiscal year our total receipts exceeded four million dollars, and when we take into con-’ side-ation the responsibility, as well as the great labor, involved in handling and prop- erly accounting fo: this large sum of money, I think 1 will be readily admitted, particularly by any one at all familiar with the demands upon the office, that my re- quest should have favorable action. In a word, the appointment is one that the ne- cessities of the office require, and no other addition to the force can supply or produce the results that will surely follow. In my last report attention was called to the necessity of asking Congress to Tepeal the clause of the act approved April 23, 1892, which requires half of the fees for water and other permits to be credited to the United States, The division of the receipts from this source was a mistake, and should be recti- fied before the District incurs further loss. During the past year $3,522 was lost to the District by the operation of this act, and the probability is that there wiil be greater amount the ensuing year. An appropriation of $1,500 for collecting overdue personal tax needs no argument for its continuance, as several thousand dollars aze annually coliected by its aid that would otherwise be a loss, and if Con- gress should see fit to double the appro- Priation the collections from this source could be greatly increased. ——>—__.

WON ON SECOND BALLOT Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. FREDERICK, Md., September 5.—There have been few conventions held in Mary- land in years which promised as many prospects for a lively time on the previous evening as did the convention of the repub- Ucans of the eixth district now in session here. It was hammer and tongs from start to finish of the evening. Everybody claims everything. There were three leading can- didates in the field, and around the outer edges stood a crowd of dark horses three deep waiting for lightning to strike them. George L. Wellington, the favorite son of Allegany, “according *<o the primartes,” arrived on the scene early in the afternoon with his fifty delegates, properly labeled with big blue badges. They promptly pre- empted all the best rooms in the hotel, and then came the cheers in procession. Washington county, with the Keedy dele- gation, were next, and they steered straight for Wellington's headquarters, much to Mayor Keedy’s disgust. Garrett county had a small and compact delegation of three men; they came to present the claims of their favorite, George W. Wilson, failing which the delegation had a strong Well- ington leaning.. Montgomery county trail- ed along next, with sixteen delegates, each with one-quarter of a vote. They had not adopted a unit rule in this delegation, and there was immediately lively bidding for quarter votes. The last train, however, brought the disturbing element in the shape of ex-State Senator George H. Pearre and twenty-five followers, who flung to the breeze immediately the purposes of their visit by exposing large white badges with a bust of Lincoln and the inscription “Any Fepublican but Wellington.” Then talk, talk, talk, anathemas, threats, jokes, stump speeches, brilliant oratorical flights, impre- cations, accusations followed each other in quick and rapid succession. The big lobby of the City Hotel was the common vantage ground, and here the crowd surged and swung, shouting defiance at each other, with an occasional whoop for the favorite candidates. In the meantime the battle was being waged among the leaders upstairs in the hotel. Each crowd had opened up head- quarters, and during the early part of the evening there was a strong Motter boom, caused to a great extent by the sumptuous repast he had set out in his peadquarters. John C. Motter was Frederick's favorite son, and it looked for a while as if things were coming his way, but Wellington's men threw themselves in the breach and saved the day. Mr. Wellington bad with him an accomplished set of»oliticians, and they kept their hands thogpughly on the throttle and did not lose their tempers. As things looked it njght the favorite son plan was deemej to the best with which to kill off cafdidates. Accordingly. the Wellington forces encouraged all these moves and favored stich booms. All of the county delegations had candidates except Montgomery, and here the delegates were supposed to be activ for Wellington. At least that was what they Were supposed to be when elected. e Called to Order. The convention started at 11 o'clock, be- ing called to order by Dr. S. T. Haffner, chairman of the Frederick county central coramittee. He called for nominations for temporary chairman. Samuel M. Birety of Frederick pominated Wm. H. Hincks and B. L. Turner nominat- ed Gen. Allan Rutherford of Montgomery. On the vote Gen. Rutherford was elected by all the votes except Frederick's six. He took the chair and made a short speech in which he prophesied that the can- didate elected today would be the next representative of the sixth district in Con- aress. He counseled harmony and was much applauded. The hall was comfortably filled at this time, but in the gallery sat a hale of Pearre men with Pearre at their The convention was supposed to be com- posed of twenty-four delegates; six from Allegany, six from Frederick, three from Garrett, four from Montgomery and five from \/ashirgton. But Allegany sent fifty mea to represent -her six votes, Frederick had fifteen men to vote her six votes, Mont- gomery trusted her four votes to sixteen delegates, Washington had ten delegates and Garrett sent a small and compact Jele- waticn of three men only. The chairman, announcing that nomina- tions for secretary were in order, the office seemed to go begging. George of Garrett was nominated and deciined, as did Birety of Frederick. Wm. B. Bradley of Alle- cers was named as follows: Allegany, David W. Sloan; Garrett, J. C. Peddico Washington, Henry K. Miller; Frederick, D. H. Hargett; Montgomery, J. W. Case. The committee on resolutions was also named with the following: Allegany, R. R. Henderson; Garrett, Ed. E. Soller;’Wash- ington, Grafton Downs, Frederick, 8. L. Birety; Montgomery, E.’C. Delauter. These committees ‘retired. In the wait the crowd amused itself calling for their favorite orators, Reno Sharp, who had been earlier in the fight, was called on. After criticising the south for a while he took his seat amid faint applause. Norman L. Scott, the brilliant young law- yer from Hagerstown, was called, but would not respond. Martin L. Keedy and Geo. L. Pearre were also loudly called for, but they did not respond, and then Milton G. Ur- ner, naval officer at Baltimore during Gen. Harrison's administration, talked for a while about tariff, which seemed to catch his hearers. The resolutions adopted contained no sen- sational features, but reaffirmed the gen- eral principles of the party, as set forth in the Minneapolis convention of 1802; pledged the party to th» principies of protection and- appealed to sll citizens who have the in- terests of, the land at heart to array them- selves under the banner of the republican party. \ ‘The committee on permanent organization then reported and the temporary officers were made permanent, the bust of Abraham Lincoln adopted for the party emblem and adopted the parliamentary rules of the last house of deleggtes to,govern the convention. Malfhg Nominations. It was they decidéd to proceed to thé nomination the répreséntative in Con- gress. Allegaky county being called, A. A. Doub, county treasurér of Allegany county, arose and put in homiiiation George L. Wel- lington. Mr. Wellington’s name brought forth applause, but not as»much as that occa- sioned by the appearance’ of Charles F. Markell of Frederick county, who rose to nominate John C. \Motter, The Pearre men in the gallery applauded vigorously every mention“of Mr. Motter’s name. At the conclusion of Mr.\‘Markell's speech the convention ran riot for about five min- utes, while General Rutherford pounded for order with an umbrella. When Garrett county was called A. F. George, member of the house of delegates from Garrett, rose and put in nomination George W. on, ‘@ prominent lumber manufacturer and farmer, of the county. When Montgomery county was called John D, England ‘said his county took pleasure in seconding the nomination of George L. Wellington. A. L. Hagner of Hagerstown then rose to put in nomination Martin L. Keedy, the young republican mayor of the town. Wellington was nominated on the second ballot with 18 votes, Wilson 4, Keedy 2. An Exciting Scene. On the first ballot Wellington got six yotes from Allegzny and fcur from Mont- gomery; Motter,six from Frederick; Wilson, three from Garrett, and Keedy, five from Washington. This wus as everybody ex- pected. ‘The venerable chairman announced “no choice,” and crdered another ballot. + There was trouble irstantly Allegany re- announced its vote. Then there was a pause. The Frederick gounty delegation were caucusing. They were trying to prolong that fight, and the only way to do it, they saw, was to keep the Garrett county nominee in the race. ‘The vote was finrlly announced as four for Wilson and two for Frederick. It was useless, however, for the Garrett delegates had evidently made up their minds to jump to Wellington. All sides crowded around the Garrett people, but they could do noth- ing, = When Garrett was called Delegate George got on his feet and announced, “Three votes for George L. Wellington.” This meant his nomination, and the con- vention went wild again. Gen. Rutherford, the chairman, pounded for order, but when the announcement was made of Montgomery’s four votes and Washington's five, all for Wellington, the venerable presiding officer forgot himself and led the cheering, waving his umbrella wildly over his head. J. A. Crockett of Frederick county then moved to make the nomination unanimous. The motion was carried, although there was @ continuous storm of ‘‘Noes,” chiefly from the galleries and onlookers. The chairn:an then appointed a committee of four to notify Mr. Wellington and acecm- pany him to the platform. They were A. F. George of Garrett, J. D. England of Mont- gcmery, Charles F. Markell of Frederick and A. R. Hagner of Washington. They re- turned in a short time with Mr. Wellington, who was received with much applause. The Pearre delegation had left the hall in disgust ag soon as the vote was an- nounced. They had done nothing except to applaud vigorously at the mention of the name of every other delegate except Wel- lington. Mr. Wellington made a in which he prophesied a sweeping majority in November. His speech was frequently interrupted with applause and in conclusion he pledged himself to the cause of protec- tion, sound currency and the soldier. At the conclusion of the convention Col. George H. Pearre was asked what he thought of Mr. Wellington's nomination. He replied that he thought it was a great mistake. When asked what would be his ~~ in the election, he declined to state Col. L. Victor Baughman, the young leader of the Frederick county democracy, was also asked for his opinion of Mr. W ing’s candidacy from our standpoint. “I think it is the best nomination that could be made,” said the colonel. “We have beaten him before and I feel sure we will be able to do it again.” —_>_—- TO BE REARRESTED. A Prisoner Released Too Small Collateral for His Offense. “As Joseph Culley of 631 G street south- west was passing along Pennsylvania “venue at 7th street just after dark Mon- day evening he was struck in the back of the neck by a young man, who appeared to be in an intoxicated condition. Mr. Culley turned around, and as he did so received blows in the face and stomach. A bystand- er stepped between the two, and was also struck in the face. A policeman called, and the pugna- cious man placed under arrest, charged with assault and battery. Mr. Culley and his witnesses appeared at the Police Court yesterday, when it was learned that the assailant had been released on $10 collateral. Mr. Culley became very indignant at such proceedings, and complained to Assistant District Attorney Mullowney. The latter ordered an attachment to issue for the re- arrest of the person, as the cojlateral ac- cepted was too small to fit the case.

Philadelphia Press, It is possible that we may get evidences before yery long of a close, if not formal, alliance between that new railway system just created, the Southern Railway Com- pany, and one of the most important of the Vanderbilt systems, that one which is known as the “Big Four.” It was in the spring that Mr. Depew, starting on his tour of inspection with Mr. Vanderbilt, made the direct statement that the Chesapeake and Ohio rallway system was really a part of the Big Four, although legally an inde- pendent corporation. The Big Four sweeps down diagonally from the lakes across the most fertile and prosperous sections of the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. it touches the Mississippi river at St. Louis. It has its finger upon the gateway to the south Louisville, and it by the Chesa- peake and Ohio commands the seaboard traMe for Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. Thus it flanks the other great trunk lines, Baltimore and Ohio and Penn- sylvania on the north, just as the New oe system flanks them from the nor’ The new Southern railway Is the creation, if not the creature, of Mr. Pierpont Morgan and his associates. One of his partners is the president of it. Its natural ally would be the Chesapeake and Ohio and Big Four stems, and, in addition to this natural sympathy and to some extent community of interest, there is certainly such greater interest as the possession of stocks and bonds implies. Mr. Morgan directly and through his indirect holdings is probably the greatest of the individual owners of the New York Central system. His genius has made possible what so able men as those who were members of the Olcott committee gave up as impossible—the reorganization of the Richmond Terminal. It is not likely that there will ever be any other than mutual agreements and under- standing to bind the Southern railway with its 5,000 miles to the Big Four. But it is entirely likely that the ownership of this now great southern corporation will be found before long in the possession of men who are the powers wo control the Big Four and other Vanderbilt interests, so that it may be said that, aside from the Penn- sylvania’s and the Baltimore and Ohio’s systems, the greater part of the entire rail- way systems east of the Allegheny in the south and east of the Mississippi and south of the lakes are in the hands of those who must work in sympathy, and, in fact, very — of the ownership is in the same hands. toe THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox.

IN HOTEL CORRID °o bo] n “The arrest of a gang of burglars brought about the other day in Chicago @ somewhat remarkable way,” said Peter A. Blount of the exposition city the Riggs House last night. “A couple of weeks ago sume officers were sitting out shade in front of the Maxwell street sta- tion when they were attracted by a horse being driven rapidly by, attached to a wagon containing three men. A minute or two later a grocer drove up in a buggy and informed the policemen that the wagon was his and contained a load of goods. It had been standing at his place awaiting the arrival of a hcrse from the stable, when the three men came along with a harnessed animal and hitched it to the vehicle and drove rapidly off. Two policemen jumped into the buggy and started in pursuit. The wagon was overtaken after a long chase, and one of the men captured. He would not tell anythirg about his companions, so he was brought back to the station, to- gether with the stolen wagon and the horse. As the prisoner continued to be obstinate in his silence, and no clue could be obtained to his fellow thieves, a happy thought struck the policemen at Maxwell street. They determined to hitch up the horse cap- tured from the robbers and start him down a Chicago street, and then let him go where he wanted to without guiding him in the least. ith reins hanging loosely on the dashboard, the horse started off, traversed a number of streets, and south and went along the thorough- fare for many squares. At last he turned down a side street, came down to a walk, entered an alley and stopped in front of a barn in the rear of a house on Wabash FINANCIAL. PAID-UP CAPITAL, $1,000,000.

W. Creecy to a pleasant coterie at the Arlington yesterday. “It was new to me, so I'll give it to you. A man named Mike Dooley had been employed for a num- ber of years as driver by a well-known physician, who fell ill and died. Mike was disconsolate over his employer's death. He was out of a job, and was unfitted for any other employment save driving a doctor's buggy from patient to patient and ing during the visits. He sat around the in a morose and mournful sort of way until his energetic wife grew weary. ““Phy don’t yez shtir yez se’f an’ do sumthin’? she inquired with indignation. bic a an’ phwat kin Oi do? he re- tur 5 ‘Do!’ she repeated. ‘Av Oi'd a bin wid a docther foortane years an’ sax munts Of'd know enuff t’ be a docther moise’f.’ “Mike brightened up.

Coming from such an authority, that opinion is, I believe, worthy of consideration. Doble claims that the con- ditions now and those of twenty years ago show a complete development of the trot- ter; but that every expense is undergone in the constructitn and maintenance of the leading tracks; that scientific minds have given themselves up to the study of what composition of tracks will be the faster, and that, coincidentally with im- provements of this nature have been the improvements in racing vehicles, such as sulkies, in the harness, in the matter of shoeing and in the better methods of train- irg. Doble is now driving Arion, and be- Neves a two-minute trotter is a sure thing in the future.” ——__. The Arka: Election, The state election held in Arkansas Mon- day passed off very quietly.
