MEMPHIS APPEAL WEDSESDAT, SEPTEMBER 8, 1888 JPROSrECTMOF COSUSU W1B Rus?ia triamphi all along the line. Tbe European powers that their eyes to the certiinty that when Russia has subdued the email powers that are in its way it will begin to threaten the larje once. To stive off present diul culty is all they aim at: the future is left t3 blind chance. Alexsnd mast abdicate bfciose Raseias) de sire', and Europe looks on belplesf, BUrnarck recommends. Alexander to abdicate, although it is thought likely mat sncn an act win cause civil war in Bulgaria, and Turkey la preparing her armies far coming event;. The London press regards Germany and Austiia as pledged to neutrality whatever Russia may do with Alex ardsr, yet Austria can hardly avoid war ' if tbe trouble be comrs more serious, while tbe people and srmy officers of Germany re indignant at what is going oo. As usual the people tee dangers the gov eminent! are blind (o. The London Timet eays significantly that Ger many and Austiia are probably con ecioui of inability to prevent the Rui alaa advance. If tbis bs correct the peace of Eirope hangs on a thread, Trie London rott expects no peace as long as the wroag wrought by Ruraia remains unavenged, while the Newt regards Bulgaiis as already prat t cally Russian province, and tbe (lironicU pronounces Bismarck the creator of tbe present situation, which is worse in the Balkans than ever. The fact it tba'. the advance of tbe democratic spirit in Europe has alarmed all (he arbitrary powers, and they are banded togHber to put down the advance of mind by harsh and stern deeds of mere power. Bat the world luoves onward, and swords and cannon will fail to stop the march of popular sentinel and the demand of justice. Active measures are not looked for at pre?' ent, however, f s winter is approach ing in the Balkans and spring mus. be waited for. Russian doings in Bui' garla have the conquest of Turkey and the seizure of Constantinople ss their ultimate object. This Austria must resist, or her possessions will be in peril, and England mast opprse RuBtla obtaining a footing on the Mediterranean, or ber means of ac cess to her Etst India provinces is en dangered. The prospect for the fut ure is ominons in the extreme. TUB BOCTir IWVADIKQ THE HOMTH. The South has tndured a Northern invasion, and now the North is grev ing over Southern Invasion. Tba spinner there have found it impose! ble to.competi with the Southern cot ton mills in certain descrlntlona of good, and now tbe iron Interest is complaining that Southern iron is be coming dangerous rival. Tbe Phila delphia Record atates that Southern p'g Iron seeps arriving and maintains its hold up in their market, so that the faot that Alabama can bring its iron to Pennsylvania and sell it in competi tion with its own iron "is now no longer disputed." The Jfccortl adds: "The iron piled upon our wharves is a cold faot which convince the most incredulous Gradually, the South is making head way for all its products in the markets of the Noith, the East and tbe North wrs'." Who would have prophesie I ten years ago that a Pennsyl vania paper would have pub lished such an acknowledgment? But Pennsylvania's troubles are not at end yet. Movements are in progress In tbe Birmingham district to begin the production of Beseemer steal. The great part of the ores there are not sui ed to that product, but huge d?pos'ti that are, superior spec ular ote and manganese, He in the neighborhood of Cartersville, on the Eit and Wtst Alabama rdlway, and etH'l pails are now oonsiriic'.irg.

For some months an op position to his return has been devel oped, which it seems was it-org enough on Friday lat to se cor bit defeat at the conven lion held at Franklin Courthouse.

A similar fats awaits the Democrats who s Isted the Republicans in defeating tariff ref orm The Democracy of the country bave no patience wi h those Democrats who voted even egtinst any consideration of a measure for the relief of ui people from tbe oppressive burdens of a protective war tariff.

The noise of the protective Djmccrats at Birm'ngbam misled Martin. Ths noiee of a few protection Democrats here in Memphis is mis leading. The people who aek no pro tection are unwilling to bo Uxed protect other induBtrita, and tbe fate of Martin and tbe Democrats who fol low Mr. Randall will bathe fete of every Democrat who fivors a pro tective tain.

MAYFLOWER'S VICfORY. GREAT DAT FOR AMERICAN YACHTHE3. The G'alatea Badly Beatea After an Exciting Race The Race la Detail. Niw York, September 7. This has been the greatest yach'ing day that New York bas ever eten, and another day of glory for Boston for her latest and piettiest product of naval archi tecture. The sloop yacht Mayflower nas won the nrst race ot tbe interna tional aeries against a poweful an tagonist, the British cutter Galmea. With a steady whole sill bieeze from tbe southward, permitting eacu to c rry all their tight sails the Galatea was beaten Vim. 4i)r. acuai time, or 12m. 2s. corrected t me, tbe May flower having given 38 feconds t'tiie eIloance, according to ths New York Yacht Club ru'es, under which tbe race a'e sailed. Tbe contest wrs eminently fair for both yachts, loss- mucn as nan tne course sailed gave almost all windward woik, while the other ha'f was with free sheets. Although the cutter was defeated she has shown hcrse'f to be a faster yacht then the Generta in a light bratze and on that may be verv hard to dtfnat in a s'rox g breiz", and a seaway. I, hts been a day of excitement, euch as is seldom seen in Mew York. From dawn to dark, ftfl oat or astor. in hotel, club or '(Jbange, tbe "yacht race " was the leading topic of cenversation. By 10 o'clock la tbe morning tbe tboucaids wno were going to witness tbe roco had embarked and were s eaming down trie bay ottbe rend staoilB.y Ridge, L. I. Tn'ere lay the two tjpei of clipper craft, rady f r the grand marine tournament. A nundr.d sail cf yachts surrounded them, some at anchor and some uader weigh, but all eaxor to be on the move. Ten o'clock was ice time set ior tne sur hnr uo to tbat hour a heavy veil of htze hung ovtr tbe city and harbor. Not a breath of wind etirred ths f.iliage, while the sun shone fl rc ly down, as if to mo.k til euorts of the yachtsmen. Messrs Koblnton, Cba e and Cahoone, the re- g a commuie,on board ottbe Lack enoai k, alter pa sing tbe sailing cr dt rs to Gen. Paine end L eut. Henn on board their respective jaidt, in- s'lucted both to get undrr Weiifh Bid gi t in poeition for a prompt start when a ure zi ome. At 10: at) a I git b eeze from a little etat on south came s taward, clearing away the baze and rippling ilia wateis of the bav. l dckly the two contestants and tbe immense n til a of steamers of all s a os from a twent v foot launch to the three decker Graud Republic c'ue tared about ine ttiruog point. Ins rrnar aiory wnistie screecned out its wrn Ing at 10:45, and ten minutes later came one for tbe start.

Mr. Henn. ia a vachtinsr cuoiuuip, who a scat iet ram j onan er cap, stood In tbe comoanion hatchway, ber husband standing on deck, cool and confident Cap'. Stone steered the Mayflower, with ''Joe hlUworth at bis elbow and Gen Pine near the wheel.

Henn said he did not care to bave a representative on board tbe Mayflower. Both yachts s'ood across the chan nel on the starboard tack and begun meir i awe ior me Ammlca's cud ackingc:oe under tbe Lona- Island shore at 11:30, the v made a stretch ovar for Siateu Island. The May flower held the windward p sitlon and with tbe last of ths e b tide under ber leeboom she manpgd to kexp it and beaa i "outtootlnir" the caiter at once. Hundreds watched the flrsttf the battle from the htiuhta of Forts Wadsworth and Himiltoo. At ll:U ttieUalatsa set her lib Ion. sill and at 11:12, the Mayflower lacked close under quarantine, the cutter fo! owing suit a minute Inter.

At 11:1!) oVIock. when tne Galatea ttuaed to nirt n,A, buoy 10, the sloop was leading her by thrte fjnrths of a mile. The flood tide had jnet begun to make and Cup'. Joel Ellswonn, who pilcto.l the Majnower, was wo'king it for all ho waa worth. Cant. Pam Gibson, nllot the (Jala'ei, was also doino his best in thii direction, but the cu'ter w. s not. tqual to the occjb on. He ually "split Uiki" with the sioon and going about at J 2 '2D held the port tacks while the Mayflower made two and gained by the operation fully alf a mile. Bo'b then made short bonds for buoy 8J the first t ming poin, the Mayllowei f.tching around fir-t at 1:01:51 tmd the cutter at 07 :07.

The Maj flower slowly bat surely outfooted the cutter, and lack ing ior the ou or mark at 2:27:u0, came grandly along to it on tbe port tack. As she "squared away round a lew minutes later and herb;gba lroa topaiil bloesimed out of its tops, the wnibtle eeienade that waa given iur could be hea d for miler. The official time i f the turn ing was: Mayflower, 2:35.02: Galatea, :41.30. Buth made a splendid incurs as tbey rounded the lightship.

The M- flower, with her big balloon jib topsail bellying out in the now strong hrtex, came horsing by buoy 8 on the homestretch at 3:34 just as the Galatea was passing the point, ot Bandy Hook. Tbe lattsr passed the baov at 3:46 o clock, and both angling over to po t came rrandly u'iwq to tne nmen on tne nooa uae. Findinx that tbe spinnaker would draw, Lieut.
