Pieasure-Seekers on the Fourth Drowned in a Storm Out West—Women and Children Lost in a Yacht and a Family Drowned from a Rowboat. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 6, 1873, Aterrible storm broke upon this city at noon yesterday, while the Fourth of July festivities were in full blast and our beautifal bay covered with yachts and small boats filled with pleasure-seekers, among whom were ladies. The yachts Louise and Lone Star were capsized. The inmates received a severe ducking and some nar- rowly escaped drowning. ‘Trees were up- rooted, signs, flags and awnings were dancing in the air, while lond peals of thunder and flashes of lightaing followed in quick succession. All passed over in balf an hour without loss of Itfe, but this sad news reached us from Green Lake, a beautiful sheet of water near Ripon, Wis., already famous a8 Summer resort, The sailing yacht R. 8.

Received by President MacMahon | The Most Brilliant Race of the Year from Oniside Sandy Hook. ,A PLEASANT TRIP BOWN THE BAY. The Vision Beats the Meta by 7m, 82s, After a Beautifully Contested Race. THE META LOSES HER TOPMASY. \The match race between the sloop yachts Viston and Meta was sailed yesterday in accordance with the rales of the club, and after one of the most brilliant matches ever witnessed in New York, the $500 cup was awarded to the Vision, the latter win- ning by 7m. 32s, The race was sailed yesterday’ as on Saturday there was no wind, and by the rules of the club all matches must be eailed from day to day until satisfactorily decided. Sailing a YACHT RACE ON SUNDAY was really painful to the owners of the competing yachts, but, as they had either to forfeit or to sail, there was no alternative left them, The tug Uncle Abe took the judges and guests on board at 8:20 from the Barge Oftice, and then steamed down to Quarantine, where a few friends of the owners came on board. The judges of the race were Mr. W. B. Bend, for Messrs. Alexandre, and Mr. H: Baragwapath, for Mr. Beling. Mr. 0. F. Schramer represented Mr. Beling on board the Vision, and Mr. L., Hoppock stood up for the mterests of the Meta on board the Meta, THE UNOLE ABE Proved to be @ capital tugboat, and was much liked by all hands on board, as ner captain was very attentive in every respect and d:d everything he could to assist in the pleasures of the day. Both the yachts ran down before the wind at the start, and when the Meta lost her topmast the latter was leading about half a mile. The Vision now obtained a lead, which she rapidly improved, and at the stakeboat was over four minutes ahead of the Meta. Both yachts made a magnificent race, and after over thirty tacks the Meta arrived in twenty secomds less time than that taken by the Vision, The following yachts started :— Name, csi Owner, Meta. +08. A. Belin: Visi Messrs. Alo; xi ¥. The result of the race astonished the vac the Meta very much, as they always expected to beat the Vision on the wind. It would have been hard to have selected a more enjoyable day, both in point of wind and weather. THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT were as follows:— First—Said match to be sailed on Saturday, July eo 1873, provided there id a six-knot brepze ab tlme of starting, this to be decided by the judges, or jn cage both owners shall be wiliing to start.

Sixth—The match to be sailed with the time al- lowance, and, except’ where they conflict with these regulations, according to tho rules of the B lyn Yacht Club, together with such written instructions and directions as the judges may give upon the day of the race. Seventh—Prize to be a cup of the value of $500, each owner to deposit the sum of $500 before the day of the race with the judges, who will hand over to the winner the entire amount ot $1,000, best winner to attend to the purchasing of the prize.

As the wind still held from the northward, it was evident the yachts would have to be started with the wind dead aft, and the judges came together and added another rule to the agreement between the owners, as follews:—Both boats te pass at start within one hundred yards east of buoy 5, the buoy to be in or with the southerly side of the lighthouse; stakeboat to go twenty miles dead before the wind, When each yacht is ready to cross the line aflag in the cock- pit to be waved, which signal will be answered in the same way from the other yacht, after which both yachts are at liberty to start. The judge on each yacht will wave the handkerchief in the cock- pit as he takes the time. The stakeboat canbe turned at will from either side. After a snort delay in THE HORSESHOF, waiting for the yachts to get at the Uncle Abe steamed off towards the point of the Hook just as the Plymouth Rock arrived at the Long Branch dock and discharged a cargo of Sunday excursion. ists, The weather looked promising, and the wind still held fresh from the nortt-northwest. The achts now heaved short, and, running up their jivs, teok their anchors on board, and, trimming down on the wind, beat up towards the starting poe. ‘There was not much sea outside, but cross- md the bar the water was broken and rough. Tie judges on board the Uncle Abo waited off buoy 5 until the judges on board the yachts displayed a signal that they were ready to start, and then the steamer whiatied, threw out the Par’ ENT LOG, and started on a southerly course to run twenty nautical miles, It was rather a useless piece of business making the jud, on board the yachts take the time, ag the Uncle Abe could easily have started them, taken their time and steamed tie twenty miles before the yachts bad made sixteen, The yachts crossed the line as tollows:— Messrs. Alexandre MEG AL beling 3 Both had their booms to starboard, and their balloon jiv topsails run out, with a whisker pole toport. Their pig club topsails were set, and the other headsaiis had their port tacks abroad. The Vision crossed the line ahead, and the Meta fol- lowed in her wake in such @ direct line that often the Vision completely hid the Meta from the view of the spectators on board the steamer.

Just in pro- portion as civilization prevails will this enermous wrong be apparent in {ts true character, and men will read with astonisiment how human beings guilty only of being black were sold into slavery, and then’ (such was the continuing injustice towards this unhappy Retieal how, when slavery ceased they were still treated with indignity by persons whose lordly pretensions were founded on the skin only. As these things are seen in in- creasing ligit they will be condemned in no un- certain words, nor will the denial of equal rights, on account of color, gtoage the judgment awarded to siavery itself. juman conduct on this question is a measure of character, Where the African race is enslaved or degraded, where it is exposed to any indignity or shut out from that equality which is a primal right to humanity. their ctvilization is still feeble.

THs PrestpENt OF HAYTI, &G WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Jnly 6, 1878. The Mextean Claims—The United States in Regard to Them—The Loss of the Umpire, Mr. Lama and the new Mexican Commissioner, and Mr. Avela, the new Mexican agent, have ar- rived at New York, bringing the confirmed treaty between the United States and the Mexican Re- Dublic for the revival of the Mexican Claims Uom- mission, and it may be expected that at an early day the business of that Commission will be fe- sumed. The Commission was established under Mr, Seward’s treaty of February, 1867, which expired in February, 1873, and has now been extended for two years more from that time, Neither govern- ment seems to have appreciated the number and Magnitude of the claims, for the examination of which the period originally fixed was wholly in- adequate. The whole number of claims of citt- zens of the United States against Mexico filed with the Commission was 1,017, and the whole number of Mexican claims against the United States 968, making nearly two thousand in all. This is more than four times the whole number of cases before the American and British Claims Vommis- sion. Supposing the business of the Mexican Com- Mission and that of the American and British Commission proceed with equal despatch the Mex- ican Commission will therefore require four times 4s much time as the American and British Commis sion for the transaction of its business. ‘This fact shows how unjnst and unreasonable have been the complaints by some persons as to pretended want. of despatch by the American and Mexican Com- mission. The number of cases decided by the Commission is 215; remaining to be acted on, 758. Number of Claims disposed of, 328, leaving to be acted on, 630, Number of American claims for which favorable awards bave been made, 62; amount of awards in the same cases, $580,706, The amount claimed Was $3,645,056, Number of Mexican claims in which favorable awards were made, 167, and amount of awards made in the same, $86,522. The amount claimed was $21,940,474, ‘The largest claims preferred by Mextco against the United States are on"Account of incursions by American Indians into Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango, which involve precisely the converse of the question which has since arisen by the in- cursion of Mexican Indians into Texas. There has been much cemplaint on the part of agents of American claimants of want of despatch of business, but they themselves are mainly re- sponsible for it by reason of extraordinary delay in the preparation and presenidtion of the claims, Most of these claims had existed for many years before the organization of the Commission. All parties had notice of the conclusion of the treaty in February, 1859, The Commission Opened in August, 1869. But of the 1,017 American claimants only 199 put in thelr cases at the end of a year; and at the end of two years only 613, Then the delay of the claimants themselves is at the bottom of the whole dificuity. The other great cause of delay is the fact that most of the evidence is in Spanish, and has fo be translated into English, The Commissioners could have requested all the Claimants on both sides to file thei evidence in translation and in print, as every other court requires, including the Oourt.or Claims, but the complainants, through their agents, made so much complaint of the trivialexpense of translating and printing their memorials that the Commissioners were deterred from requiring the evidence also to be trensiated and presented in printed form, which would have facilitated business, as with the American and British Oommis- sion, When the Commission meet anew they will first have to agree on an umpire in the place of Dr. Lieber, deceased, or fall back on the provisions of the Treaty of 1863, by which it is provided that the Commissioners shall name some third person to act as an umpire; but, if they should not be able to agree upon the name of sucn third person, they shall each name @ person, and in each and every case in which the Commissioners may differ in opinion as to the decision which they ought to give it shall be determined by lot which of the two persons 80 named shall be umpire in that par- ticular case. Next they will have to dispose of the questions that were pending between Commis- sioner Guzman and Commissioner Wadsworth on the subject of Indian depredations, The number of cases submitted to the late umpire, Dr. Lieber, but not decided, 1s 326, they being the Indian depredation claims. Jacob Thompson's Accounts. The Second Auditor of the Treasury has just completed the settlement of the account of Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior under Buchan- an’s administration, and acting at that time as trustee of the Indian fund, It is shown there is a deficit of $821,000. The statement is made that it has not been possible to take up these accounts ‘until recently, owing to the fact that all previous accounts were required to be settled before reach- ing Mr. Thompson’s case. The Indian Subsidy. ‘The stocks of the United States and of certain States held in trust by the Secretary of the Inte- rior amount to about five million dollars. The an- nual interest, nearly two hundred and eighty-one thousand dollars, is transferred or applied to the benefit of the Indian tribes owning the securities, Treasury Deparment Warrants. The number of warrants now issued from the Treasury Department daily is much larger than for some time past, owing to the fact that many appro- priations made at the last session of Congress be- came available on the 1st of July, and the institu. tions or parties entitled to the money are coming foyward.

ANOTHER HOBOKEN HORROR. | A Terrible Shock that Startled he Resi- —— A German Merchant Found in the Hudson River with His Skull Battered In—The Mystery of His Death Unexplained, but a Probable Murder for Money—His Cash and Watch Gone— His Pockets Turned Inside Out and Cut with s Knife—Description of -the Decoased. However dreadful may be the nature and gur- roundings of @ violent and mysterious death, how- ever disastrous be its consequences both to sor- rowing friends and to those who may have been connected with the deed that robs life from the victim, there is, nevertheless, a certain amount of satisfaction felt by the public when the dark curtain ts lited from the death scene and all the circumstances thereof are fully revealed. Not so when the mangled victim is discovered long after he has met an untimely end, and there exist no traces of the murderer—if @ murderer has been in the case. For tragedies of this latter kind the city of Hoboken can now take the lead, The mystery which enveloped the tragic death of Withers ana ot the unknown traveller who was murdered on the snow near the Elysian Fields, finds a striking parallel in that which the following facts set forth:— THR MURDERED MAN, Onthe 10th day of June there arrived by the steamship Thuringia a German gentleman who had ati the appurtenances of wealth and refine- ment, He was an individual of medium size, with light bluish eyes and brown hair. He was about forty years of age aud wore a black cloth coat, light pants, a shirt studded with golden buttons and boots of patent leather. His lugeage was ample, and he stood upon the deck casting nervous glances at the stewards as they set his trunks upon a vehicle. He proceeded to the Park Hotel, where he entered upon the rogister his name Carl Kistner. Room No. 26 was assigned to him. To those who sat regularly at table with bim he represented himself as the agent of a mercantile firm in Stettin, for whom he Was about to travel through various portions of this country to purchase goods that are market- able in.Germany. Re constantly spoke of his in- tended trip to California. His habits were tem- perate, and he carefully attended to his bodily wants, golng@Very morning to bathe in the Hud? son, Which is within a stone’s throw of the hotel. Anxious TO REMAIN IN HOBOKEN it during the celebration of Indépendence Day, ho Was seen at breakfast time as usual, on Friday morning, the 4th inst. Some time during the fore noon he quietly left the place. He did not revurn that night, nor did he appear on the day following. Yesterday morning a citizen of Hoboken was bath- ing at the foot of Fourth street, when he observed @ body floating near the shore. The corpse was speedily dragged to land. It had been a day or two in the water. The entire face below the forehead was battered to a-jelly and fishes had devoured the flesh as far as the brain, No person could recognize the muti- lated head; it was Cole posable, to identify the de- ceased by the color of his hair, by one eye that re- mained and by the garments he wore. Tho pock- ets of the pants were turned Inside out, and the man had evidently been beaten with a bludgeon, robbed and ang 8, the mercy of the waves, The was that oi Carl Kitstner. Beyond the revolt- ing spectacle presented by the head the corpse presented a natural appearance, as if the pee ‘om time to eternity had been but Lrief for the ill-fated man. Nothing of value was te be found on the body save three pearl studs, specked with gold, and these the bad care assas- sin did not deem worth removing. A silver watch which deceased had been in the habit of carrying was not to be found, and his pocketbook, too, was ne. The breast pocket of his coat had en ripped through with a knife. Coroner Parslow took the sad remains in charge and County Physician Bucke made a preliminar, examination of the death wounds, when ho foun that it was a case demanding a rigid examination. Mayor McGavisk, Recorder Bohnstedt, Chtef Dona- van and Detectives Bageley and Hayes interested themselves deeply in the affair, The reasonable presumption is that inasmuch as Kilstner had no vest, but had a towel in his coat pocket, he went to bathe as usual, and was Gogged by persons who had come to a knowledge of his wealth. They fol- lowed him to the shore, where he was wont to og gazing at the metropolis, and there struck m2 THE DRATH BLOW, robbed him and buried his body in the waters. It is absurd to allege that he would kill himself under such circumstances as were narratedabove. When the Coroner searched the room at the hotel he found in one of deceased’s trunks a memorandum showing @ deposit of 18,000 thalers In a Stettin bank, 1,000 in the American Spar Bank and 2,300 elsewhere. Valuable clothing and a gold watch were among his personal effects. It is yet unknown in what spectfic business he was engaged, or whether he leaves a family in Germany, Durin, his leisure hours he was in the habit ot visiting Mr. Acker, a wine merchant in dents in the Vicinity, PEARS THAT MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOsy. CATrSVILLB, Bedford county, Pa., July 6, 1873, On Thursday evening, at about balf-past ton,’ the inhabitants in and around Catesville were sud- denly startled by a most terrifie explosion of the magazine of the Cambria Coal and Iron Company, situate some distance from the village, The shock was like that of a severe earthquake, and the shaking of tho houses continued for some setonds after the magazine blew up. Nearly every win- dow witiin a radius of two miley of the disaster was broken. On reaching the place where the catastrophe oc curred its appearance was fearful. Every vestige of the once solidly constructed magazine was obii- terated, and for a distance of 500 yards in every df= rection the earth was rent into great chasma, sixty or seventy feot deep, Giant trees had been torn up by the roots, some of them being hurled to a dis- tance of nearly half a mile, while others seemed aw if they had been overtaken by the immense masses: of earth and rock and partially buried almost where they grew. At tho time of the explosion there were stored in the magazine 700 pounds of giant powder and seventy pounds of nitroglycerine. Shortly before dark on Thursday evening three men were seen in the vicinity, who were not recognized, and who are generally supposed to have been the cause of the disaster. ‘The inhabitants belleve them tobave entered the building in some way to steal powder for the Fourth of July, and that by un- known means, either with match or candle, they set fire to some loose powder. Up to the present time no one knows who is missing and who is not, as many of the men and boys who were employed near by had their relations living in other coun- ties, to whom, no doubt, many went home to spend a short vacation, No trace of any bodies has yet been found, though 500 might lay beneath the ponderous masses of earth displaced by the awful force of the explosion. The greatest excitement prevails, and does not seem in the~least abated at the writing of this report. A DOMESTIC FATALITY. Sons Firing at their Mother and at Each Other—-One Boy Dead and the Mother Certain to Dice Ba.trmore, July 6, 1873. A despatch from Winchester, Va., says that @ terrible tragedy occurred at the residence of Franklin Little, near that town, on Sat urday. There aro six sons in the fam- ily, and there has been great jealousy among them, While the family were at breakfash two of the brothers, Oscar and Lycurgus, entered the room and locked tne door. Oscar spoke to Clinton, who was in the room, seying quarrel — with, him and did not want him to inter. fere. Clinton jumped from’ his* seat an Oscar and urgus drew revolvers. andy commenced indiscriminate firing on the family, wounding Clinton, and, among others, the mother, Mrs. Littie. The fight became general and Oscar was wounded and captured and lodged in jaihaw: Berryville. Clinton died on Saturday and ther moetiier cannot possibly live. FIRE F20M KEROSENE.

A Bad Band of Two Hundred=The Difi- culty in this Case. SAN FRANCISOO, July 5, 1873. Advices from Arizona, via San Diego, state that Tatagus’ band of 200 warriors, located fitty miles south of Apache Pass, on the Cochise reservation, recently leit for Chihuahua, intent on war. Agent Jeffords has gone to Investigate the matter. Cochise does not acknowledge the band as his, though he has permitted them to remain on the reservation. For along time the band had a bad reputation. On the 24th of June Captain Randall, of the Twenty-first infantry, and command, with fity Apache scouts, surrounded their ranchoria, fired it and captured twenty-five bucks, with squaws and children, The next day Delchay’s camp was sur- rounded and he, with the remainder of that once formidabie band, to the number of 181, surren- dered, Delehay says it is impossible for the Apa- ches to evade traitors—they foliow night and day. The Pico band of Apaches, who recently left Date Croek reservation, were followed by troops and Oregon scouts from Fort Whipple and driven into the Colorado reservation, from which they have been taken to Verde reservation. THE MODOCS. One of Captain Jack’s Fathers-in-Law Surrenders=The Modoc Murderers and Captain Jack Are Sick at Fort Kiamath, YReKa, July 6, 1873. Mr. Blair, Superintendent of Fairchild’s ranch, says that on Wednesday morning last three Modocs—namely, Miller Charley and one of Captain Jack's jathers-in-law and a young warrior—came to him west of his house and called out the ranch. men and formally surrendered. The Modocs were anxious to know what they shoulddo. Captain Fairchild told them to bring in the women and children about the lava bed and then await orders from the military authorities. The Modocs started for their squaws and children on the following day. Colonel Lewis, of Red Bluff, attorney for the Mo- docs charged with murder, leaves this evening. He intimates that he has engaged in the case at the solicitation of Judge Steele, and is anxious not only to show provocation cn the part of the Indians for the late struggle, but also the causes Of all hostilities, Sickness is reported among the Modbc prisonera at Fort Klamath. Close confinement is commenec- ing to tell on Captain Jack and Ourly-headea Doctor, the former being weak, gaunt and com- plaining.
