Pho lcat thn Prince of Wales's cutter Britannia, in a brlk breete. that held almost true from start to finish, over a course of forty-eight nautical miles, shout naval school ship, the Blose'hy Ur off the clob house bf the nojitl Yacht Squadron. 1 1te finish and start of the contest tvere risible from srvernt polntsof land, the nearest of which was West tVwes, and the villas and hotels were crowded with guesta-some of whom hal paid fabulous prices for rooms. The course had four turns, and If ran almost due east and west,,rach leu being about twelve miles Jong. The first prut of the course was to a mark boat off tpe. In the Solent : thence eastward through rtplthead to and around the Warner Lightship, out In the Channel, and hark to the starling point oft t'owes. In Ice around, it was practically over this same course a year ago to-day that the SAtantta lieat Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll's centre boarder Nnvahoe by 7 minutes and 4 seconds. The sky w cloudless when the yachts sailed out In I he starting line. There was a good brccie from the southwest that, to the weather wise skippers and alert pilots, seemed to have in It the promise of royal yachting later In the day. The expert on lioth yacht evidently expected a fresh wlud, as they had onty working top-alls Tits' VIGILANT. a third of which was In the open water of the English Channel. Thar waa a Channel sea, celebrated for a choppiness supposed to be re tlstlesa by American models, but It did not ma terially interfere with the triumphant progress of the Mew York sloop. The speed of the racers will best illustrate the kind of breexe that drove them over the course. The Vigilant never did better In any match race or regatta In which she has taken part. Phe covered the course in 4 hours 6 minutes, and 40 seconds, or at an hourly average of about 11H knots. The wind fluctuated between about four teen and eighteen knots. The Vigilant beat the Britannia by 6 minutes and .13 seconds, artual time, or 4 minutes and 29 seconds corrected time, the Yankee yacht allowing the Ilriton S minutes and 4 seconds. The Oonlds were represented on the Britannia by Commodore E. D. Morgan of the New York set Instead of the wide-spreading club topsails so frequently seen In preceding races. The start was one of the cleverest ever seen hereabouts. The yachts came 'for the line on the port tack, the Britannia being to windward. The starting gun boomed at 10:30 o'clock, and five seconds later both boats crossed the line so evenly that one obscured the other, and at a distance they appeared like a single yacht. It was a short beat to the Lepe against a strong ebb tide, with two long legs and a short one. The Britannia seemed to be leadltlg nntll the yachta drew near the tape. She stood too long on the last leg and the Vigilant gybed around the mark 85 seconds ahead of her.

Yacht Clnb, and the Prince of Wales was rep resented on the Vigilant by Col. Paget. The impression here is that the Vigilant cannot be drfeated in such weather as the yachts had to day by any British model. A multitude of sightseers, with a decided preference for keel yachts, gathered here In all manner of floating things. Royalty was well represented. There was never a more resplen dent fleet of pleasure craft in the Solent and eplthesd at any previous race in British yacht ing annals. Some of the yachts present were SlrR.W.

Perhaps It might have been dldcrent If the British cutter hail won, as she has frequently, amid a tempest of cheers and yells. The victory was one which clearly demon strates what often has been declared by Capt. Hank l!a(T of the Vigilant and Nat IierreshofT, her designer, that the Vigilant Is the better boat In a stiff, steady breeze, on an outside. Inside, or any other course. Mr. George J.

The open regatta of the Shelter Island Yacht Club was sailed this afternoon over a twelve-mile course from Deerlng Harbor through Gardiner's Bay. A light but steady breeze held out throughout the entire afternoon, and gave a slight advan tage to the boats carrying the heavier sails. The Hrgatta Committee L. A. Klsh. Charles Otis, and Charles Olmsted raised the prizes from $?." to $40 for the purpose of inducing more outside boats to enter the race, but the experi ment proved so unsatisfactory that It is not likely to ye repeated. As usual, the interest of tho race was largely centred In the tin-keel sloops, of which the lMlemras was the winner, making the distance in i! hours 27 minute and .14 seconds. Nineteen boat, including slooiw and cotboats, went over the course on the first round. The Dilemma turned the stakehoat 3 minutes and 4S sreonrts ahead of the Lynx, sailed by Commodore Lynch. The Consternation was close behind, while the Wild Cut. Mr. Olmsiead's new fin keel, which was expected U make a close rare, did not finish. The Aim Ira, o ned by J. Henan of New York. was a winner in her class, and she beat the class ahead of her on the first round. In the class of small sloops the Narona and Marguerite were almost together at the end -of the first round, but better handling and sailing qualities gave the Narona a good lead at the finish. The Mar guerite ami Elsklt finished nearly trigether. The Curlew. John Nltchie's boat, sailed out of her class, and bent the Pigeon, a third-class sloop, winning on time allowance and better handling. In the catboat class the race was close at tint, but on the second round the wind wasnotstrong enough and the boats separated. The contest was not a close one, as the fastest sailing craft do not .have wind enough to show their best qualities. Tke smaller boats were well bandied, and they took every' d vantage of wind at.d tide. The next race of the club will be held on Aug. 11, which will be ladles' day. when each boat will be required to carry at least one lady on board.

Ever since the New York Bay Yacht Club waa organized last winter its members have been aa busy as the proverbial bee, and it was not until yesterdsy that they found time to allow their lady friends to share some of the pleasures in connection with the club. The 600 invitations sent nut as a forerunner for the " Initial ladles' day" were responded to by a host of Iwauty and fashion that mode the Jolly amateur tars feel In high feather in an effort to entertain them sat isfactorily. The handsome new club house, l overlooking the bay from the Greenville shore, was thoroughly Inspected and much admired, There was dancing in the spacious reception room, and croquet and lawn tenuis held at tendance on the picturesque lawns surrounding the club house. ... At 4 o'clock the signal was given for all those who wished to enjoy a sail to get aboard the respective boats which comprise the rlub fleet. Twenty minutes later the fleet ten In number were under full sail, thn flagship Lizzie II., Commodore Bowker. leading the way, followed by the Allda.

The Admlnlstra lion Is said to be very nngry at the reports sent out last night, that thn latest -revision of Ihe troublesome schedule was acceptable to the President. Whatever the t lews of the Prest. dent on the subject may lie, he resents the In. slnuatlon that he will ssnrtlon any proposition that seems to favor the Sugar Trust. Not only Is the President disposed to repudi ate tho newly arranged sugar schedule, but the Louisiana Senators are Indignant at the wny In which they havn been Ignored by the conferrees during the jutst forty-eight hniir. Senator Blanchanl said to-night that the conferrees ap pear to hate conferred with cverylmdy except the representatives of the LouMann sugar In. terests n making tip the new schedule. He also resents tho Iden that thn Iiulslana delega tion will 'vote for any arrangement of the sugar schedule that may Im sugggested by tho Sugar Trul and the advocates of a tariff bill at all hazards. He says the original agreement was made with the toul. ana sugar planters that they should havn the bounty for the present year, nnd unless that compact Is carried nut the taulslana delegation nerd not bo expected to vote for the bill. Sena tors Allen, Kyle, and Peffcr aro also pronounced In their objection to the proposed schedule, un less some provision Is made for tho bounty to tho beet-sugar Industry. So that thn situation Is more mixed to-night than It was twenty-four hours ago. The Senate conferrees hsve almut dlspalred of bringing about an amicable agreement, and the indications are that a disagreement will lie reported on Monday, unless some new scheme Is devised over Sunday. In the event of a disa greement a report will be made to both houses, and a revival of the discussion may ensue. If the Senate Is not disposed to enter upon a dis cussion until after the House has considered the adverse report they may lose their opportunity, for there Is a strong feeling In the House in favor of taking a vote on the Senate bill as soon ns the Houso conferrees report a disagreement. Senator Atdrirh says that the itepuhllcans in the Senate are not going to submit, without pro test, to the proposed schedule, which gives tht Sugar Trust one-flf th of on per cent, protection. In lieu of the former proposition from the Sen. ate of one-eighth differential. Tho opjmncuts of the bill are more encouraged by the condition of affairs to-night than they have been since the bill passed the Senate, and some of the most as tute members of the opposition are predicting that the pending bill n ill not become a law. By Ihe Vnilrd Prnt. WAsniNOTON, Aug. 4. The Democratic mem bers of the Tariff Conference Committee were again in session to-day, nnd when they ad journed at 5 P. M. there were two distinct and I antagonistic views held by Senators, both of which had their adherents. It nas believed on tho one .hand that a rrort satisfactory all around would le made to the two Honsea not I later thsn Wednesday, and mi thn other hand that a disagreeing report was liound to follow within the next two or three days. The House members appeared to be more Jubilant than the Senate conferrees. Indeed, Messrs. McMIUIn and, Montgomery seemed to be quite fosppy. Without saying -what had been done, if anything, they declared that nothing had been accomplished that might not be un done when they met again on Monday, There was that In their manner, however, that led to the ronrlnsloc tnat they believed, or at least hoped, that the end was In sight. The Srnate conferrees are equally reticent. Mr. Jones said that he believed there would be a report some time next week, and he thought that there was light in the distance. Still. Mr. Jones was willing to admit that he did not feel as cheerful over the situation us he did yester day afternoon. Why he felt so differently Mr. Jones declined to say. as that would necessarily have taken him Into a discussion of the matters that belonged onlr to tho conference room. Despite all rumors to the contrary, the accu racy of the sugar schedule sent out last night has been confirmed, although It is not the final I and irrevocable decision of the committee. It is the only one of a dozen that the so-called con i servalive Senators will agree to accept, and It Is the only one that the members of the House conferrees have Dot objected to. Of course, no schedule can be accepted by the Senate con ferrees that cannot demand the forty-three Democratic vottw. and thla one had no sooner l.een made public than It was antagonized by Senator Catfery and Blanc-hard of Louisiana, who. It appears, have been able to form a combination with the two Populist Senators. Allen and Kvle, the champions of the beet sugar men, who hate large Interests In their respectitt States, These four men make no se. cret of the fart that they will not support the bill tf this schedule Is sdhered toand if bounty for the crop of 1HIH I- not glten ihrra. Just how to conciliate these men la the question over w bich the Senate conferrees are now struggling, and until they can do so, or hit ujmn some other schedule that will suit lioth the Louisiana men and the refiners and Iw also acceptable to the conferrees. augur will be held in aueyanre. The House conferreesand some of their friends expressed their indignation to-day at the rrpre i sentatlons made. In some quarters that under this proposed schedule the truit gets 45 points of protection. I'll the contrary, these men asert that they have been able to cut down the protection found in the Senate hill by 30 per rent., and that they hat e been able to limit the trust to the simple 1-A of a tent that the hill Fites, or n protection of SO points on!). The louse conferrees have been endeavoring to get their Senate colleagues to agree to a reduction of the siecifir rate from 1-0 to 1-7 of a cent, but this was not listened to. Part nf the time to-day wss consumed In the consideration of other matters, much pressure being brought to bear upon the conferee, on the part of the Senate to yield on coal and iron ore. It Is said that the only thing the Senate III agree to do la to give the House reciproc ity on coal, but iron must stay as It U. All prnpoaltlnns looking to a graduated duty or Us relinquishment after a jieriiat of three jears hate been rejected. It i rrxirted ttiat the House conferrees have not el lost hope, and they look upon Mr- liorman as the only stumb ling block In their pathway to success, When adjournment was taken to-night It looked as if the conferrees, desplie their many tentative agreement, were u far as ever from the goal for which Ihry hate been atrlving. There l. Iiow ever, a general belief that some, thing will lie done earlt next week, and that a reHirt of some kind will thereafter be made.

Tatrhee of thick woods cluster about It nil all sides, while thn village depot Is about two blocks away, and the thoroughfares thereabouts are much travelled at nights by vil lagers on their way to and. from tho trains. Here, also, the negro murderer Ilugg was cap tured after a long search. Ijtst night a volunteer corps of rlldens of the tillage, rarrylng lanterns and armed to thn teeth, stood guard about the building walling to get a shot at the spectre. The scare began see erat nights ago, when Miss Nellie (lavln, 17 years old, was almost frightened Into fits by a ngurs that darted out of tho church door, caught hold of her, and tried to drag her into the building. Miss Gavin screamed. Persons who hod heard her hastened to the spot, They found Miss Gavin speechless from fright, clinging to tho church fence and pointing to ward the dark and silent structure. When she rraet)ad her home she said thst ns she was pass ing tlie church a tall being with a loose-flowing dress darted nut from a shadow of tho building and seized her In its arms. Mrs. Bunker.who llyes beyond the church, had a hand-to-hand'battle w tth the apparition while on her way home a night or so after Miss Gavin's adventure. Mrs, Su niter Is large and muscular, and has not much faith In ghost stories. When the mysterious object darted out from the shadow of the church and seized her. Mrs.Sunker caught hold of it and there was a lively tussle for a few moments. The apparition pulled n decidedly real horse pistol and pushed It under Mrs. Hunker's nose. She gave up the battle and fled. This last encounter aroused the village, and there was talk of solving the mystery, but noth ing wM done until the following night, when tho figure was seen by several persons entering tho church. Th; village was at once alarmed. About 100 men started for thn church armed with n variety of weapons. Samuel Twoddle, who raptured murderer Itngg, led the hunt. He carried an old musket. Uultder George Green had n shotgun, John Parcel carried an axe. and Charles Robinson and James McDonald brought up the rear with fence rails. when the party arrived at the church doors there waa some discussion as to who should en ter first. It waa finally agreed that as Twoddle. was tho man who had distinguished himself by his rapture of Hugg he ought to be per mitted to enter first. Twoddle. with his mus ket, led tbe crowd Into the church. It was agreed beforehand that a certain number should remain outside and capture the apparition if It attempted to escape. Thtwe who were delegated to keep watch out side Anally decided they would be safer with the main body In the church and one after an other they went In. Only Jamrs McDonald, with his fence rail, was left behind. Every nook nnd cranny In tho church, from the cellar to the attic, was explored and no trace of the ob ject was discovered. The little band marched back Into the open roadway, laughing nt the ghost stories. Then they missed McDonald. They found him on the railroad track several blocks nway shaking so that he could scarcely talk. With much dlfll culty the little army managed to get out of him thrU while the main body was In the church and he was guarding the gste, armed with his fenco rail, a terrible vision with a horse pistol floated out of tho cellar door of the church and made directly at liltn. He didn't want to give an alarm, but dropped his fecne rail nnd put off as fast as his legs would carry him. On hearing McDonald's story the searchers became serious. McDonald said he thought the object went Into the woods, and the search waa taken up In that direction. but wlth outrcsult. Jate that sight tbe weary searchers returned to their homes. The hunt was taken up again last night, and a guard of armed men was placed around the church and at close In tervals along the road. TEBIIIM.E SUFFEItlXO Or IXDXAX8. afaay Fauatllea of tke I-abrador Bnatcra Isjlng of Fjtarratloa. QtTEBIC, Aug. 4. Terrible reports of suffering and distress among the remnant of the Indian tribes of Labrador were received here to-day by a letter from a Quebec trader, who has sailed down the coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Mlngan, on the Labrador coast, one of the headquarters of the Indian hunters when they leave the woods to dispose of the result of their winter's hunt and to obtain sup plies for another season. Early lost month, when the Quvbec trader despatched the letter from Mlngan which reached here to-day, there had Just returned to that place seven families of mnntagnsls; or mountaineers, wfio left a year ago for the northern shores of Hudson Ray, the country of the interesting but rapidly dwindling Waskonapl tribe. This remnant of a former mighty race ot hunters appears to be rapidly sharing the fate of the Kascapees, who hunt the vicinity of L'n gava Bay, of whom the Canadian exploring party led by Mr. A. P. Low reported last winter that over COO had parished from hunger during tbe season of 1804-3, owing to the failure of their ordinary source of food supply. Tbe returning Montagnais report that during this last winter so many entire families of tbe Waskonapl died in the woods from starvation that their tribe has now become almost extinct. This calamity Is principally due to the almost entire failure of the caribou of the northern plains, which It the chief food of these Indians In winter. The letter repofta terrible destitution among the Montagnais. whuse summer headquarters is at Mlngan. Tlisre are some sixty famlllea. all told. In this section or the tribe, but their number Is rapidly decreasing, The winter a hunt' of a family was formerly often worth tl.OOO, but game and fur-bearing ' animals have recently diminished so much in consequence of forest flres and other causes that they seldom now have f 500 worth to bring out of the woods. The agents of ths Hudson Hay Company, with whom these Indians trade, have always advanced them whatever supplies they needed to take with them Into the woods and were un- i able to iiay for. Hut this season many of them ' are unable to pay the debts which they In curred with the agent at Mlngan last summer, and the company has notified them that In future they will haVe lolnok elsewhere for their supplies, since It will make them no more ad vance. Many families are In desperation, and It Is probable that the (loternmrnt will have to come to their assistance. Otherwise the Indl- i ana must return to the woods on the approach of winter, with no other prospect than starve lion. The new policy of the Hudson Ilay Company toward the Indians has perhaps Uen inspired by Ihe discovery that the hunters have, of late, dared tn sell some of their skins and make pur chases ot merchandise from travelling traders upon the riuMt, i I'nlesa either Government or other charitable , aid he. speedily and surressfullr invoked In fator of these por people they will soon dlsap peal the last survivors of ihe races that were the original owners of this northern country.
