A St. Louis diopatch saya: 'J
No opportunity will bo afforded during 5
the parade on Tuoaday for a repetition of c
the Wheeling incident. No Cloveland n
banners will ha hung over the hoads of
the tbo marching host3. At least this is a
ihe determination?officially promulgat
ed?of Mayor Francis. c
Mayor Francis is n Democrat, but ho c
docs not spell Democracy I-d-i-o-c-y. n
c
Now Iheyaro quoting a diopatch from B
"Taylor" now boosting Powell for Gov- ^
ernor, in which dispatch "Taylor" told g
tho New York World, in 1885, how Powell, s
thon Chairman of tho Democratic State c
Committee, was in league with McLean to J
steal the State. In these days "Taylor" fl
figures in the Enquirer as the loudest of I
Powfill nhammnim- It ia ronch on "Tav- B
lor," the Enquirer and Powell, There u
will ba nothing in the election to bind up f,
their wounda. e

They are just through having a can- 0
tennial calebration in York, Pennsylvania. '
A ieaturo of the interesting ceremonies
was the handing over to the Mayor a o
sealed box to be turned over to his buc- ^
cesaor and all along down the line of illustrious
Mayors of York till the time ol the
next centennial celebration. When the
box ia openod it will reveal what may be
hit of the programme of the celebration
of 1j8S7. If this York were in England
the box would easily creato a sinecure,
. Custodies of the First Centennial Records,
or something of that sort, and tbe ealary
would be (ionazaonsurato with the dignity
of the litle. This characteristic of tho
3ritiah civil service has escaped the notice
<of Mr. Eocene Hipgino.
Franco-Germ an news via Paris is not
likoly* to be entirely reliable. On tho face
of the returns, however, France has a
good case, and one, that -will give Germany
some trouble. It makes no differerence
that the German who fired at the
French party thought they wero on German
coil. "Where the frontiers are so
jealously, guarded aa in both countries,
and seeing that the slightest mistake is
likely to plunge two countries into war,
a blunder ia not to be excused, and so the
acerieved natty is likoly to hold, A war
would be particularly unfortunate for ^
IFranco, for she would almost certainly be
^whipped, but unless Germany makes reparation
Franco will have to fight or take
down her eicn as a fighter.

New York, Sept. 20.?Great interest is
aanifestod in the international yacht race
fhich is to take placB to-morrow. It will
?a the greatest race of its kind over wifcteeaod,
and tho paoplo of two continents
ire watching the preparation with extrairdinary
interest. The two beautiful veaela
that are to take part in tho groat
truggle /or the championship, tiie Volaneer,
ol America, and tho Thistle, ol Scotand,
are wondera in their way, and the
he admiration of tho world. Thoy illus*
rate the vaiu? O.t international compatiion.
'
They are both tho roanlt ol that Jamoua
rictory which the America,won over the
leet of the Royal Yacht Squadron in a
ace around the Iale of Wight on August 1
'2,1851. The donors of the cap did wore
han they dreamed of for tho science of I
racht designing when they pave it into
he keeping of the New York Yacht OJnb
o dofend againat all comere. Yot the
mpetuB was cot felt until recent years.
Fbe British schooners Cambria and Livo- 1
tia were so easily diepo&ed of that the '
onteatfl only led us to regard with pissed |
ontentmeat, and something more, the i
aodelB then in TOgue, i
But the challenge of the Genogts caused 1
n awakening. The b?Bt aioop then in j
heso watera was the Gracie, which so r*- ^
ently came near bfiins capeizad by a puff if
wind that, aa the Thistle's owner re- ]
narked, would not have jeopardised a j
utter at all. fiho was inferior both in i
peed and b!zd to tho Genesta. The hour ;
ras at hand and the man?or rather two (
f them, came when needed. Mr. Bur
;esa designed the Puritan and Gen. Paine
ailed her; the cop was saved uud Amerians
could proudly point to it when ljrit.
hb 6ang that bumptious song, "Britannia 1
ulea the waves." Aud bssidea, another j
ine sloop, the Priscilla, inferior to the .
'uritan, but famy a match lor any Bingletick
boat in ?ag!and. wag added to the
Lmerican fleet. The i/uritan *? dnbbed
'the peorieea Puritan," and every patriotis
American /eltflaro that 30 cutter would
ver Btand a chanoe against her. Bat the
wo quiet, modest Rontlemen b^d
roated her let othera do the bragging
ybfje thoy put their Lends together lo derise
Bowe^jns; Btill faBttr.
The chalien'Kd 0/ the Galatea ?avo the
ipportanity. They evolved tho MayLowor;
the Galatea was badly boaton, ae
iverybsdv bad ^oreeeen; tho Puritan W38
'peerless" no longer, and that proud preix
was transferred to the Mey/io^er.
^.gain "Yankee Dwdls" resounded
hrough the land, and again the two genlamon
whose strength lay in deeds, not
yords, conferred together and produced
he Volunteer to compote for supremacy
rith the (aatcat y^cht that Great'Britain
ioald build.
As with tho Puritan, eo with tljp Slaylower;
only for a year could eha w*ear tho
>roud titlo of "peerlegfj." It may be said
hat aa yet the Volunteer he* only half
von it; ahe has to thra3h tho Scotch craft
jofore it will be wholly hera. But if

Tho Volunteer WMimnnfrnntfld 1
y and tho workmanship on her la not '
learly equal to thai displayed on the ]
:hlsli8. It is eaid that when Gen. ,
?ayno .and Mi*. Burgesa'Srat bsheld her aa
ho came from tho uaUtfttt'ji hands, their ,
laual quietness of deineknu*- {Jesorted
hem and their lanRusge did full justice ,
o the circumstances. But there' arc no i
tenograpiilc not?B to vouch for this re* ,
>ort. Be tbisaa it may, the Volunteer, ,
0 far as speod is .concerned, v;no a success :
row tlia start. 8ho began her career for
1 viotory ajid kept it up, walking away (
rom all competitors in a light wind or a j
itrong wind. The weather matterod noth- ;
ng to her. Bhe wa3 always easily beat.
Captain "Hank" Hafl", ths skipper ot
he Volunteer, ia a genial and grizzled j
retoran, tall and sinewy. He raado a
epntation /or himself and fchf? Fanny,
Then he commanded her, aud when he
eft" her the Fanny's hall of it departed

hat his yacht ia going to win, and ho bo
leves, loo, mat tie can miKo Her go ai laet
is any otbsr skipper.
Nearly all tho arow ol tho Volunteer aro
Swedes and Norwegians, a cleanswholelorno,
brawny lot of men, with cleauhgven,
oun-Drowned faces. Thoy aro
;ood ootmen all of thorn. Hardly one ol
hem can ttwlm, but that bothers thorn
Ittlo, for on rmeu a staunch craft as the
Volunteer they would Had no use for that
iccompiiohmont. Homo ady-oreo prilliiama
have been mado because of tho orniloymentof
foreigners Instead of Amori:ane

o this la that the Scandinavians quarrel
eta than Americans, are mere amenable
a discipline, &t)d being lees restless and

ongor.
But there will be Americans enough oa

m the Volunteer, Captain "Joe" Ells

celebrated Uayouno crew, who can climb

Ellsworth will bo there as consulting

TUB TIHSTt*.
In all the romance ol Scottish history
there is no tale fraught with deepor Interest
or meaning than that of Bruco and the
spider. The gofnamer thread that the Insect
spnu niter many trials has interwoven
itself with tho progressive national
life of (Scotland from centnry to century.
' Persoveranilo" is one ol tho mottoos sho
wears; and II is In the spirit of this slogan
that she has sent tho Thistle across the
seas to try towreet the victory that a line
ol discomtltted predecessors has failed to
win. The news that Scotland was in tho
Held created a buzz of excitement when
tiret announced?and the Royal Clyde
Yacht Club were timely in the challenge
?and the interest it Hroaaed has steadily
increased, fostered perhaps by the tingo
of inyatery that colorod the building and
tho lauuchinc of the Thistlo. Never in
the whole history of tho cup has there .
been a yacht so much talked of. Never
has there been so much reason for talk.
The Thistle was conceived in secret,
shaped in secret and launched in a shroud.
She has been tho cause of moro fanciful
sketching and moro conjectural writing
than the flying dutchman's ghostly craft,
and Captain Barr has baen as silent as
Captain Vanderdecien. George 1). Watson
has a level head. When the Scottish
syndicate cijoae him to design a yacht, he
laid down for himself and for them a certain
courso of action. That has been
maintained through fair weather and foul,
despite cayilling, criticism and abuse,
rhere is no. international copyright in
yachts; and bo wished to onjoy a monopoly
of his own originality. He has succeeded.
There is nothing else afloat that
exactly resesombles the ThiBtle. But Mr.
Watson did not curtain hiB ideal from possible
American imitators only. He wished
to screen it from the whole' world; and
even morei particularly from British rivals.
Hence it is somewhat unfair to him
to imputo to him a strategic secretiveness
directed only against the transatlantic
"enemy." It must be remembered that
his competitors at home were *kept as
much in the d?rk as hs competitors abroad.
Her racing carper jn British waters nas
almost * succession ot victories, Eyenqn
the few occasions when she lost, her fail- :
ure was to be attributted to causes outaido
of the boat's own capabilities, which she !
fairly proved to be invincible by any cutter
of her class. Comparing her perform- 1
ances with those of the Irez, she showed 1
herself to be on an average about 10 min- 1
utea tke tested ii? strong winds and from 1
15 to lb minutes the opsedierin a light air. '
In all the forecasts that have been made 1
of her contest with tho Volunteer it has
been taken for granted that in a zephyr 1
flka mill lin?An VMHrttl AUamaa I
U4dc?j rr*??ii4??o? uiuvu uunoi bunuio
viih tho Yankeo wonder than in a jjale. .
Mr. Bargbia end other experta are, how- 1
ever, diainclinod to accept this; and Mr.
Bell and Mr. Watson profess a preference 1
Cor ft "l?low," if only to demonstrate that !
the prevailing impre^ion is a wrong one. 1

however, a strong undercurrent of fool, at

ijiayor Jfrancis' aplion in prohibiting It
all over-hanging flags, banners or pictures.

eral oatiefaction to the visitors from abroad, ei
who are not at all backward in express* 7'
ing their satisfaction that even the most
remote .possibility of a reoccurrence of v
the "Wheeling incident has been removed.
The feature of thla encampment is the *
sheltering of large numbers of old vet* P
erans in tents. Tried at each oncamp- h
ment before in small numbers, the plan
gave such eatiefacton and plpaapiro that it ^
was ^decided thus to houae vast nutn* tt
hers, and the Executive ' Oommit- "
tea arran3Pd to naje for a great- $
or concourse or peoplo in t^ a
field than has ever be/ore boen attempted
in any land except in times of
war. Perhopa no canvas city of such proportions
h<UL ever been built in t!
so short I time. Within two C
ipontfc^ 3,5p0 tents, with ample c
room lor 25,000 noldioro?moro than there i
is in the entire United States army?have '
lieen pat together and are now pitched
n the boautlful parka of the city, all with- .
n a radius ol two mlloa. The headquarters
ara connected by telegraph and convenient
to the dining balls, A bale of 1
itraw maker's matrosees lor oach tent the
jed the soldier brings strapped on his
inapsack or gripe. In many cases the
reterans will stop in the camp and house,
lis family nearby,
A peep within the tent this evening rereala
touching scenes. The warrior cltlisns
only know the feeling of such glori- '
ins reminiscences. Ever and anon surging i
crowds upon the street pause to hear t
ho bugle call and tho stentorian j
idee calling out a name, company, regl- ,
nent and btate, sometimes a call for a 1
:omrade not seen tor yoars. Too often >
here is no response, but then t
igaln an answer; silence as they .
neet, and then a jubilee. These
tamps are tall of pathetic meetings, after '
MMiru ol separation, And it Ja tLia that t

Dr. Z ichor reads English with facility, I1
atepoaks it imperfectly. It is supposed
tat the Qerman Chancellor purposely /'

tat he might derive hiB information more
