The Vigilant Supposed to Have Won the Yacht Race. NKwronr, R. 1., Aug. 11.— The four great cop defenders met today over the ocean course olf Brehton's reef. It was more of a drifting match than \ a race, however, and the disappointment at nightfall proved equally as great as was the interest in the early morning, when there was scarcely breeze enough to start them. The fog was" so dense that nothing definite, is known. It is believed the Vigilant passed over the line ahead of the Jubilee, though she may not win when the allowance is worked out. The course was thirty-eight miles, and was ot in terest only because of the first meeting ot all four of the boats which will strive in a future trial which shall de termine the one to meet the Valkyrie in defense of the America cup.

Chicago, Aug. 11.— A. A. Zimmer man won the first of the international championship races run (luring the great L. A. W. meeting. In audition to capturing that event, a ten-kilometer dash, he reduced in the same race the six-mile American competition record of 18:40 2-s, made by Seele in New York last year, to 15:43 3-5. He proved, too, that he was a long distance as well as a sprint racer by covering the quarter in twenty-seven seconds, a performance that none on eartii except himself has ever equaled. U. T. Knisley, of Chicago, who broke the four mile record on Wednesday to 10:13, further chopped that mark today to 10:12 1-5 in the same international race. He started as a pacemaker and finished last, In this race the jockeying against Zimmerman did not work. He remained well to the rear to trie final lap.and then followed Johnston ill the latter's spurt down the stretch. Not until he reached the turn, how ever, did he lean over his machine. and exert himself. He was then a length behind the Minneapolis man. He passed Johnston half-way down and won easily. Johnston was tired.and lost second place to Bliss. The fractional time was one mile 2:27 2-5, two miles 5:03 2-5, three miles, 7:4) 2-5; four miles, 10:12 1-5; five miles, 12:52; six miles, 3-5, ten kilometers 15:56 1-5. All the Americans except Bode finished in front of the foreigners. Os mond, the Englishman, and Snber, the Mexican, did not start. The time of the previous races this week caused the latter to leave town last night." Zimmerman also won the half-mile easily. Hoytand Smith and Zimmer man took the empty honors of the two mile invitation team race, for which they had a walk-over. Zimmerman. who qualified in the third mile open, did not. start in the final, the event eroing to Taylor. Five days Zimmer man has only been beaten once in a scratch race.

Cowan played his star game last evening in the Foley balk line amateur sweepstaKe billiard tournament. He won out in thirty-three innings and sur prised all his friends. Dickinson was his opponent, and he was badly off play. Cowan scored his 125 to Dickinson's 95, and while Cowan had runs of 10 and 11 Dickinson failed to reach the double figures for the first time in the tourney. Cowan found him at his worst, and seemingly made the most of the circumstance. it was not an es pecially interesting contest, for the reason that all the excitement was con centrated in the game between Wilder and Biugham. The latter had been galloping along to victory after victory, and had the other two leaders, Thayer and Clark, on the hip, when he took a fall. Wilder defeated him, 125 to 110, and this after Biugham had virtually won the game on the very first string. In the twenty-fifth inning the score stood: Biugham 86 . and Wilder 84. Wilder plays at 90 and Bingham at 110. So it will be seen that Bingham had made up his odds, and that all he had to do was to play the short man at evens. He failed in this, however, and things are now more complicated than ever. Clow and Binghain are on even terms, each with two games lost, and Clark and Thayer take the lead with only one game lost each. The comiug week will settle the tourney. There will surely be a few play-offs, but the proguosticat ors are at sea. They had felt that Bing ham had the best of the probabilities, but now they look towards Thayer. SOCIALIST CONGRESS,. It Is Decided That Right Hours Is a Way's Work. ■■Zurich, Aug. 11— At the interna tional socialist congress today the sec tional committee reported' in favoi of an eight-hour day and universal peace.

LEHKih KOAD, It May Be Associated Closely With the Pennsylvania. Philadelphia. Aug. 11.—Specula tion is still active regarding the Lehigh Valley railroad. A good deal is heard bearing upon the possibility of a close affiliation with, the Pennsylvania road. This is positively denied by Lehigh Valley officials who are in position to speak with authority. One of these said today: "The- abrogation of the lease with the Heading does not mean a separation of interests. 'Ihe two roads will continue to work together and their close intimacy during the past year will make it all the easier for them to agree upon traffic arrange ments. As to the Lelilgh Valley divi dend due Oct. 15, Che directors were earnest in what they said in the circu lar. The dividend will be reduced— not passed — unless something unforeseen occurs." Vice President Savre, of the Lehigh Valley, today issued a notice that Theo dore Voorhees (now vice president of the Heading company) will continue until further notice to exercise super vision over the operations of the Lehigh j Valley system as heretofore during the. lease to the ,, Philadelphia- & Heading Kailr6ad : coiupanj:.-with -the.tille of. act ing general manager. t ;. ." jV.

Continued Irom First Page. arrange it according to tne principles of bimetallism and in a manner conform ably to the promises of the Democratic party. "If," he said in cunclu^iuii. ad dressing ins words particularly to East ern Democrats, "you do uot do it, yours is the responsibility, not ouia." [Ap plause.] Mr. Tence (Pop., Col.) was the next speaker.aud with his opening MMibvice.s he attracted the close attention of the house and retained it to the end. Nooth « man bus succeeded in so impressing himself upon the favorable considera tion of Ins associates on lhe floor at such an early period of hts member ship. He was sorry, lie said, to note by the tone ami words of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Kaynoi), who opened the discussion, thai ne was in fluenced by the columns of Tlie Metropolitan Pre*« and was disposed to treat representa tives of the Western districts, and par ticularly of those states where silver is mined, as foreigners and aliens. He did not exactly comprehend tho reason why that gentleman should speak of tlie treasury department as acting tlie part ot a pawnbroker for the silver miuers of Colorado and Nevada. It might be the gentleman tiiew more of the pavvubroking business than he (Mr. Pence) did, or it mi_ r lit be on account of the practice of tne treasury department to Jew down the men who brought silver there to sell ; because it was now beyond question that such was the policy of tl»e department. It was because the people of Colorado had come to understand that the plat forms of the two great political parties were but glittering catchwords that they had. within the last twelve inontns, asserted their political independence. It was not (as the New York Sun said) because Mr. Reed, of Maine, was a czar tliat the Democratic party • bad come into power. It was because it iiad declared unequivocally for the remoneti zation of silver. Tlie scene in Uw house today was enough to attract Hie atten tion or any thoughtful observer. Was it possible the gentleman from Mary land (liavnor), uttering the sentiments he did, and the gentleman from Mis souri (Bland), uttering tlie sentiments he did. were elected last fall on the same identical platform? [Laughter on all sides.] When the Democratic oarty met ia convention in ISJS4, Mr. Pence con tinued, it declared its belief in honest money; tlut gold and silver is the Coinage of the <'ou*litutioii and is a circulating medium convertible into such money without loss. That meant, he said, the remuneration of silver at its old ratio; and it was so ac cepted by the silver producers. But even before Mr. Cleveland's first inau guration that platform had been delib erately slapped in the face and spat upon. [Applause.] For four years ot the Cleveland ad ministration there had not been (so far as the administration was concerned) oue sincere effort to retnoneUze silver. The Republican administration which followed was no better in thai respect. Still, it was not his purpose to follow up the evolutions of political parties or to take part in a partisan discussion. Elected last fall by a people brave, buoyant and hopeful, he knew that their industries "had been prostrated by the course of the past two ; administrations, by the base sur- ! render of those" who had been elected on a silver platform and on ; silver pledges, In this connection he i quoted from a speech made by Mr. Car- 1 lisle in the house in 1878 to the fleet that the striking down 11 of from three sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the country was the most gigantic crime of this or.any other gen eration, and he contrasted that declara tion with' the present position of the secretary on the silver question. The speech was made, he said, when that gentleman was a leader, not a follower, when he was a Bender of messages, not a bearer of them. [Laughter.) Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, closed the discussion of the.day with a plea for a larger volume" of currency, and' the'; , house adjourned.' ';■• ■•■ "•'••- -. -' ; SENATE CAUCUS.

Livingstone Meyer, Cogswell and Senator Washburn and daughter, the latter of whom will christen the ship. It was a gtaceful compliment on the part of the secretary of the navy that the only, ship ever honored with a name from the Northwest should be christened by so pretty a woman as Miss Washburu. Away back during the war there was a snip called Minnesota, but she was broken up long ago. and but few people remember her existence. But today one of the most magnificent ships of the new navy is to be called after one of the most progressive cities r > in the .Northwest. The Minneapolis is a sister ship to the Columbia, and both are of the highest type of cruisers yet de signed by the naval depart j Tne two are better known as Cruisers Nos. 12 and 13. " Tlie Cramps say that they will drive the Minneapolis in her trial trip at twenty-three knots an hour. If they succeed in this, they will not only have the fastest ship in the world, but they will wia 1400,000 as prize money for speed, for every quarter knot beyond twenty-one kuoU they will get 150,000 premium.

Aug. 11.—Comptrol ler, of the Currency Eckels, to whom a dispatch was sent by Vice President ' Baird of the Buffalo Furnace Company, asking if it was against the law to issue checks certified to by national banks, to 06 issued the same as currency in mak ing up pay rolls, has sent the following reply: y . "Section 5183 prohibits national banks from issuing post notes or any other note to circulate as money, "except such as are named by the nation al bank act. Your proposition ap pears to suggests the drawing of checks containing certain conditions as to . payment -by depositors on banks where they have deposits to their credit. Such checks to be paid by the deposit ors, and not by the bank upon which they are drawn, to other parties to whom depositors are indebted. As un derstood, the proposition appears to in volve a business contract between, the depositors and their creditors, and in my opinion such transaction would not constitute a violation of section 5183, as the checks will be Issued by the de positors, and not by the bank. As to certification of such checks by national banks wneu drawn against deposit to cieditof or order, I can find no objec tion. See decision Merchants' National Bank versus State National Baud, Wal lace County, etc. ••James li. Eckels, Comptroller." The reply is received with the great est satisfaction by the Buffalo bankers, and the method or using certified checks in $5 and $10 amounts and currency for sums less than $3 is expected to furnish immediate relief. In an interview Mr. Bairdsaid: "It will enable manufact urers to find currency to meet the pay rolls, and will keep thousands of men in employment who would otherwise be discharged. The scheme is to use certi fied checks of the above denominations made payable to bearer. A large num ber of the biggest manufacturers in the country have been interested in the de cision which is given out by the comp troller. MEXICAN TROUBLE. A Political Upheaval in the State ofCoahuila. Eagle Pass, Tex., Aug. 11.— There i is evidently trouble brewing iv the state of Coahuila over the gubernatorial campaign. The air is filled with ru uiots of uprisings, but it is impossible to verify them. It is. true that Col. Valreua Valdes was shot at San Juan Allende this morning, but whether in a skirmish or iv a personal difficulty it is impossible to ascertain. One statement which bears evidence of authority declares the towns of liio Grande City, Peyotes Nava and San Juau* Alleude are in arms. Another just as reliable denies the report. At the bridge at Piedras Negras guards, are permitted to come to this side. Yesterday and today large quanti ties of arms and all guns to be had were purchased and taken to their side. The disquietude has no i national significance. It is simply an | attempt upon the part of the Cardenas j party to oust the Galan party, and feel- I ing is running high, and there may be I bloodshed before the - election is over, j It is rumored President Dm/, contem plates declaring the state under martial I law, and that Gen. Currentes will be { named as provisional governor. "Soliciting Patronage." : .EsTAitusaKu i^- .
