NEW YoitK , Sept. 27. The fickle Rod of
the winds seemed disinclined to favor tho'rlval
yachts this morning with anything but light
breezes and public disappointment was as
manifest as public Interest has been In what
was to be the first of three races between the
Scotch yacht Thistle and the American yacht
Volunteer for possession ot the America
cup. The last finishing touches were put
upon the yachts and everything super
fluous removed from both racers ,
even to the private dunnage of
the crow. The conditions were most favor
able to the Scotch cutter. The Thistle has
always done her best work In light winds ,
and there was small chance of there being
anything more than a light wind to-day.
There was considerable betting on the race ,
but It was by patriotism In almost all coses ,
the odds ranging all the way from 10 to 0
down to 2 to 1 In favor of the Volunteer.
When the racers reached the vicinity
of the starting line there wore over
two hundred yachts and steamboats about
them. Thousands of peonle on slioro were
straining for a glimpse of them , but even at
Fort Wadsworth , where a largo number of
ladles were gathered , the contestants could
only be dimly seen through the heavy mist.
Sailing vessels going down the bay with the
tide hlew their fog horns loud and loug In
disgust at the weather.
About ton minutes later theTlmtlo crossed
the line , followed soon by the Volunteer.
Both yachts were close hauled on the port
tack , each carrying main and main club top
sails , small jib top satis , and jib and stay sails.
The Thistle's lead was small , but she
seemed to move most rapidly In
the light zephyr. The IIttio wind was quite
variable veering to westerly.
The official time ot crossing thn line was :
Thistle , 12:8:5:08 : : : ; Volunteer , 12:34:58. : : The
Thistle not only had a nearer position when
the order to start was given , but also went
throueh the water faster. She got over the
linn 1:52 : ahead. The llrst tack was in tow
ards Clltton , S. L , and on that tack of tif-
tccn mlnutps the Volunteer showed a
superiority over the Tlnstln In
weather that had been written
down as the foreigner's best that left no
doubt of the result. The Volunteer went bv
the cutter as though the latter was anchored
and she stayed in front to the end. The
Thistle was bothered badly by excursion
boats that first tacked , giving her much
awash , but after that they uung to the Vol
unteer and throughout the rest of the dav
flho Buffered three times as much
as the Thistle from the way they
kicked up the water and shut
shut off the wind. It was no longer a race ;
It was a procession. The result was a most
decided victory for the American sloop.
Beating , stretching and running with free
sheets , the Volunteer outsailed the Thistle.
On the homo run she lost ground , largely
on. account of the way the accompanying
craft blanketed her. The total distance was
thirty-eight statute miles.
The following is the correct time
over the course : Volunteer , 4:53:13. : :
Thistle. 5:12:42. : :
Mr. Bell , the principal owner of the
Thistle U not at all satisfied with the result.
The Thistle , he declares , never before moved
BO slow through the water. He was of the
opinion that there was something wrong
with the cutter's bottom and she will be
hauled out of the -water to-morrow with a
view to finding out what it is. Ho com
plained of the excursion boats swashing the
Thistle.
Captain Barr held the same views. Ho
said that some of the crow had been notified
anonymously that the cutter's bottom had
been "doctored" and the truth would bo as
certained before Thursday.
General Paluo and Mr. Burgess took the
victory quietly but happily.
How London Took the Dufcnt.

LONDON , Sopt. 28 , 4 a. m. [ Now York
Herald Cable Special to the BEK.J The
Thistle is not as popular a ( lower this morn
ing by about seventeen minutes as It was
yesterday. Very early this evening there
was a largo crowd of messengers about the
doors of the Commercial cable , that had pop
1 \r > ularly announced It would glvo thn earliest
result , as it did. There were , however , no
cheers volunteered when Captain Balnbrldge ,
tbo cable superintendent cave out the result
The American gathering at the Strand
Exchange did , however , cheer , and the news
soon spread among the Charing Cioss
loungers , and so was carried to all parts by
thn old Welters of passing omnibuses.
The morning papers devote great space to
the cabled accounts , as also comments , but
are nil philosophic. The Sportsman has a
huge map ot the course and a three-column
sketch of the America cup races and the last
event In commenting the Sportsman says
"Few , oven thn most enthusiastic yachts
men , can remember such universal excite
ment caused by a race as that which marked
the contest yesterday for the American cup.
Throughout Scotland this was singularly so
No Scotchman , however humble , but made
tbe contest almost a private per
sonal matter , and throughout the
true and tender north yesterday's'acquatlo
battle lias been for weeks the solo subject ot
conversation. The Volunteer , however , has
won , and so Scotland must sit down and
think out the lines of a now p raft which will
tnizilo our American friends to some better
purpose than was the case wltli the Thistle ,
unless she should make amends In the two
ther matches. "
' The Dally News begins its leader : "Yes
terday was a day of tierce excitement for
yachtsmen on two continents , " and then
adds : "The result Is a bitter dlsappolnt-
. inent , for the Thistle has lost In a wind , as
It were , ot her own choosing. " Iteferrlng at
tbe end of the column leader to to-morrow's
second match , It concludes : "All good
patriots will wish that the Thistle may then
make good her right to bear the proud
motto , 'Who dawr meddle wl me. ' "
The Telegraph in a column leader says :
"It cannot be denied that America has main
tained the supremacy she won thirty-six
years ago. The blood ot the Vikings runs
In American veins , but the Thistle has yet a
ebance to retrlve her reputation , and If so a
wave of humiliation will run from New
York to Calitornia. "
Scotch Yaohtmen Disappointed.
LONDON , Sept 37. On the Clyde the people
ple were keenly Interested In tlio yacht race ,
betting in favor ot the Thistle. The cable
dispatches published In the afternoon said
the Thistle would certainly win. A loiter
from a member of the Thistle's crew was
quoted , In which the writer says : "Ameri
cans may boast aoout the Volunteer , but
their yachtmen know she has no cnauce. "
The victory of the Volunteer surprised the
clubmen who were awaiting news of the race.
Tbe result Is a bitter disappointment to
Scotch yachtuieu.
A Itanquet Woollier or No.
GLASGOW , Sent. 37.--It has been decided
to give the owners and designer of the This-
Ua a public banquet on their return home
whether the yacht wins or loses the races for
the America cup.

The New York Central President On
the Situation Abroad.
NEW YORK , Sent. 27.-Special | Telegram
to the BEE. ] Chauncey M. Depew returned
from his summer vacation In Europe to-day ,
In an Interview \ said the English people
wore very anxious to know what America
Intended to do. They wondered why Amer
icans sympathized with the Irish , people In
their struggle for homo rule , when they
would not allow the southern states to sep
arate from the union. The homo rule ques
tion , he said , was the all-Important topic
everywhere In England. If Gladstone lives
for a few years the home rule cause was euro
to win , as ho had the English masses won
over to the cause. Depew stated that Blalno
was not working for the nomination for the
presidency. Talklne of the prospect of war
between France and Germany , Depew said
that both countries v-ero as fully equipped
for war as thev could be , and the fighting
spirit had not only seized the soldiers bat
even the masses of the people , who were
backing up the soldiers. The railroad sys
tem In Europe , he said , was about one
hundred years behind America. American
manufacturers were competing favorably
with homo manufacturers in England and
Germany. _

JACKSON , Tenn. , Sept 27. One of the
worst wrecks that over occurred on thn Mo

miles south ot this place this morning. An
entire passenger tram , except the engine ,
was hurled from a trestle while running
forty-five miles an hour. Over thirty per
sons were Injured , though by what seems al
most a mlraclo none wore killed. The
coach es were thrown forty feel from tlio
track and some turned completely over. The
scene was almost Indlscrlbable , women and
children screaming for help and release from
the closed cars. All were , however , rescued
and medical attention given. Ot the in
jured four or five mav die. Ten others are In
a serious condition and the remainder ouly
slightly woundeo.

attention to the arrival ot Itov. Warren from
England to take the pastorate of the Holy
Trinity , and referring to the statute prohib
iting the Importation of contract labor , re
marked that ho could take no action In the
premises. Ho added : "Mr Kennedy calls
attention to a now Industry preaching. II
would bo ridiculous for me to take any ac
tion in the matter. There Is no statute gov
erning the question. The law refers to

ST. Louis , Sept. 27. [ Special Telegram to
the BKE.J An Informal but highly Import
ant meeting was held this morning by a num
ber of the post officers and delegates of the
Grand Army for the purpose of advising with
each other as to the desirability of holdlnir
the next encampment In 1S83. The fact that
many accusations had been made to the
effect that the organization was political
In Its character rendered It , In the opinion
of many , Inexpedient to hold the encamp
ment during the fall when a presidential
canvas was at Its height , and when there
would be an unusually favorable oppottunlty
to distort Individual expressions of opinion
Into oflicial declarations of the Grand Army.
Some were disinclined to make any alterna
tions in the tlmo of holding the encamp
ment , regarding the danger of political en
tanglements as too slight to bo considered ,
but the majority took a different vtaw of the
matter , holding that it would not
detract from the success ot the encampment
If the date of meeting should be advanced ,
and that by so doing all danger of becoming
Involved In a political controversy would be
obviated. It was accordingly decided that
Juno be recommended as the date for the
next annual meeting. General Tuttle , who
arrived with the Iowa delegation at an early
hour this morning , was beslezed by com
rades who wanted to know what truth there
was In the report that ho proposed to olfer a
resolution censuring the president. The
lowan braced himself against a pillar and
waited until the volley of queries had ceased
and then ho said :
" 1 wont say what I'm going to do. I
Hdn't come here to act like a bull In a China
shop , for I raised enough h 1 when I was
here before. I say this much , however , that
the people of St. Louis ought to be greatly
obliged to mo for what I did. They can see
by tlio Wheeling and Omaha Incidents what
the feeling oftins Grand Army Is toward
Cleveland , and If he had como here
the devil would have been to pay.
I hear that Black , Jlosocraiis and
a lot of friends ot the president
are going to offer a resolution censuring
Fairchild and myself. Now we want har
mony but if they undertake to bring politics
Into tne encampment we'll make them sick
before they get throush. There are some
people stooping to some mighty contemptible
things In prosecuting me but let them look
out ; inside of a weektho ; people will thank
me for what I have done. "
( Press ] . Haln , mud and gloom played
havoo with the Grand Army arrange
ments to-day and when the grand
parade was given up the boys had noth
ing to do but hunt up places of amusement.
The veterans came to see the sights and they
marched about until the sidewalks and
streets were sagged witii mud. In the state
headquarters at the Llndell hotel crowds
jammed the doors and for hours comrades
gathered around the famous maimed staff
of Governor Husk. The rezistra-
tlon continued incessantly , but still not
one-quarter of the men In the city enrolled
their names. Of all the states represented
Kansas reports the greater number of sol
diers , with Illinois following , then probably
Iowa and Missouri , and enough are from all
quarters to give a good expression of opin
ion from every department. A petition is
being generally signed asking congress to
pass a bill lor the relief of Indigent veter
ans. Such a bill , it is said , will be areed
upon by the encampment. On the flag Issue
there is but one expression of opinion and
the subject Is passed over with a satisfied air
that the flags are still there.
Delegates to the convention have been
moving about visiting tlio different bodies
to-day and settling In their minds the best
man for the position of commandnr-ln-chlef.
General Sherman , it it understood , has de
clined to accept the olllce under any circum
stances. It is generally conceded that ho
would bo chosen without opposition if lie
would accept. Among the other candidates
thpro appears to be no material advantage.
The third national convention of the
Women's Belief corps meets at thesamo
time as the twenty-first annual encampment
of the G. A. It. Their convention will bo
called to order In Harmonic hall at 10 o'clock
to-morrow morning , 'iho president's re
port tor the vear j ust closed has been given out

During the past year $56,100 was dibtntmted
in charity. This does not represent thou
sands of visitors to the sick and destitute or
food and luxuries donated. The Grand
Army committee on pensions has recom
mended that the ladles push the bill for the
pensioning ot army nurses.
At 7:30 : o'clock this evening the aids on the
staff of Commauder-in-Cliief Folrrlilld as
sembled at the general's quarters with their
friends and presented to him the badge of
past commandcr-ln-chtef. General Falrchlld
was visibly affected , and In thanking his
stall displayed his attachment to them and
commended their loyalty to the Grand Army.
While friends were extending congratula
tion ? , Comrade Cook , on behalf of the staff ,
presented a gold watch to Adjutant Gray.
TUB EVENING IIKCIU'TION.
A grand recentlon was given this evening
at the Merchant's Exchange by tlio citizens
of St. Louis and the hall was jammed with
veterans. Mayor Francis extended a heaity
welcome to the Grand Army. General Fairchild -
child responded to the cordial greeting by
the assurance that there was a moment
when tlio members of the Grand Army
doubted the hospitable reception they would
receive. They had como with hearts
full of respect lot . the city
and its citizens and should leave
with a feeling of love and pleasure for the
men who wore the gray. He could say they
met them with a feeling of love and confi
dence and extended to them the right hand
ot fellowship. The Grand Army did not dig
up the hatchet or wave the bloody shirt.
There never had been trom 131 to the pres
ent time among the comrades a thought ol
feeling of malice toward the south.
As his voice died out a call for General
Sherman was followed by a dozen inoro and
then a flood of cheers , but the general gave
no sign of response. Mayor Francis seized
the opportunity ot a lull to Introduceex-Vico
President Hannibal Hnmllm. The gray-
haired old man was greeted with a storm ol
applause and during his short and eloquent
address was frequently interrupted by pro
longed cheers
Governor Oglesby , of Illinois , kept up the
enthusiasm by a jocular assault on General
Sherman for not responding to the repeated
calls. As ho retired the name of Shermar
once more rang out and an ovation greeted
' Uncle billy" as ho arose to answer the
calls. In alluding to the war the genera
said ho had many friends on the
otter side. He then tnought they
were In error. He believed they
were becoming convinced of this themselves
and bo knew they were In error. At any

Talking About Pension * .
ST. Louis , Sept. 27. [ Special Telegram to
ho DKK.J One subject of commanding Im-
lortanco discussed wherever a group of
Irand Army men Is formed , Is pensions. A
generous and liberal government policy Is
everywhere favored. There are unmistakable
Igns of a growing movement in favor ot
ervlcc pensions. There are more veterans
at this encampment than there have been at
any previous one who openly condemn the
existing pension laws as putting too great a
premium on hospital records and physicians'
certificates. The 'New ' York department as
a whole , if the statements of leading otllcers
.ro to bo believed , are In favor of reduc-
nc the treasury surplus by a service pension
bill. From California comes Kdward It. Solomon
omen , department commander , with the con
viction that needy soldiers , whether they have
physicians' certificated or not , should have
xtiislons , and that no better method of ro-
luctnp the surplus can bo devised than that
of generous payments to veterans. James H ,
Weston , of the same state , favors tlio same
views , with the proviso that service pensions
shall bo carefully graded. Some ot the
strongest advocates of service pensions rep
resent Iowa , Illinois , Minnesota and Kansas
departments , and the fccliuggonerally among
vcstern soldiers Is favorable to this policy.

LONDON , Sept. 20. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BEE. | Bicycling a
sport of legs and stomach , and choss.a game of
> raln and therefore of Interest , began to-day
at Bradford. This morning began the chess
natch between Blackburn and Gunsberg.fivo
games up , knights opening.thlrty-llve moves
n all , Gunsberg winning the llrst game. Full
details have come to hand of the 100 miles
cycling won at 1'lggleswade , Saturday , by
laic. The Galnsboro club race was a trial ,
lot on a track , but on the ordinary roads In
iedford county. The course was measured
by milestones , going on a macadamized road
and returning on another. Forty-seven be
gan the race , only thirteen finished. The
winner used a safety machine and did the
irst fifty miles In 3:14:45 : : , ills second titty in
j:8-JU : : , and UO minutes ahead of the second.
The third and fourth , each on a safety , were
'our minutes behind the second. They did
ifty miles in a dead heat and the fourth was
only half a second behind the third at the
ihlsh. Hale'srato of speed was nearly lif-
: ccn miles per hour. What ever be the merits
on the track between the safety and tan
dems , It would seem that the safety machines
are walled In speed by the more handy saie-
.103 when on the road. The lecord was not
beaten this occasion , nor did any man
especially celebrated compete in it. How
ever , it may be assumed that rcallv good
riders can now travel something like lee
miles along a good road In seven hours : a
rate equal to the average continental railway
train. To rival this speed for the
same distance , a man driving would
require some eight relays of fast trottinc
hordes. Had the generation twenty years
ago been told a man could by the exertion of
ils strength travel 100 miles Inside of seven
hours they would have received the state
ment with ridicule. Indeed , In days before
the railways had accustomed the world to
rapid locomotion , such a journey would have
appeared fabulous. This afternoon on the
Crystal Palace track A. L. Uowon. of the
Ripely Iload club , on pftrlcvde did fifty
miles In two hours , rUl vKduutes. and ten

Jones County Crops.
ANAMOSA , la. , Sopt. 27. ( Special to the
HKK.I It has bean a source of grAt anxiety
In tlio county us to the yield of grains and
the staple cereals generally , but upon reck
oning up the harvest ot wheat , oats and bar
ley , It Is learned to the great satisfaction of
the populace that they have been "more
scared than hurt , " and that the yield of the
above named grains has been fully up to the
crop ot former years , If not in excess. At
one time during the prore.of the wheat
crop it was thought It would not be worth the
harvesting , owing to the presence of chintz
bugs , but the damage done was slight. Corn ,
of course , hasnot _ yet been gathered , but It
will exceed Vmslrterably the crop of last
year. It has been estimated by those emi
nently capable of judging , that last year
over $25.000 was paid In Jones county for
foreign corn on which to winter their stock ,
thn home crop being Insufficient to that ex
tent. This year Jones county will have an
overplus , and will no doubt ship to other less
fortunate localities. The only thing to bo
complained of Is the scarcity of hav for the
fall and winter foods. This deliciency Is the
result of the drought , which was very severe
In the county for a short tlmo. In order to
provide themselves against this contingency
the farmers are cutting their cornstalks close
to the ground and stacking them to bo used
as fodder should it become necessary so to
do ,

SAN FIIANCISCO. Sept 27. Jtidgo Hoff
man , of the United States district court , who
sat with Justice Field , ot the supreme court ,
and Judges Sawyer and Sablu , lias filed a
dlssontlnsloplnlon In the matter ot the peti
tion ot the Pacific railway commission to
compel ! Leland Stanford to explain certain
vouchers of the Central Pacific company. II
had boon understood until to-day that Judg
Hoffman acquiesced In the opinion ot tin
other three jurists. In the opinion
udgo Hoffman says , In substance , thai
to act creating the commission , after con-
erring the power on the commissioners to
equlro the attendance ot witnesses and the
reduction of books , provides that to that j
nd they may Invoke the aid of the courts , ;
nd the power Is given to the courts. In case t ]
f contumacy , to Issue on order , nnd there- „ - '
usal to obey such order may be punished at - *
ontempt Similar provisions are contained
n the Intcr-stato commerce act. It the
rounds.on which the decision in the present
ASO are in In great part based , be
orrcct the court's nld must bo refused ,
ot only to these two commission's but also
o all commissions of Inquiry created by con-
ress to obtain Information to enlighten log-
slation. Judge Hoffman thinks It deal
hat the rights to require information in aid
f legislation are necessary , and therefore a
tower coniorrcd upon congress by tlio cou-
titutlon by necessary Implication : that as
t can only bo effectually asserted through
nd by the aid of the courts It is the duty and
ight of the courts to furnish that aid.
Judge Hodman then turns to the second
ground upon which the court refused to lend
ts aid , namely , that no jurisdiction has
jccn given to the court under the constltu-
ion , nor can it be conferred by congress to
ntortaln an application of this nature , bo-
. is "case" " *
j.iuso them no or "controversy
before it such as is contemplated In the pro
visions which deliiui the extent of
he judicial power of the United States ,
udgo Hoffman claims that the questions
alsod by tlio Inquiry are In the highest
cnso judicial In thulr nature. After consld-
irlmr this at some length hn .says that the
aws of congress provide that compulsory
irocess may Issue to obtain testimony of the
vltncsses. The exercise of this power Is not
imlted to cases actually pending In the couit
nit extends to eases where litigation is ox-
> ected or merely apprehended. Ho rotors
o tlio powers confided In and the aid ex-
ended to craml juries by courts and con-
ends that the second objection falls. Ho
adds that the doctrine enunciated In the de
cision in effect denies to congress the right
o Invoke tlio aid of the courts to scciirn by
compulsory process the attendances of wit-
icsscs and to the court the right of alfordlnir
aid if invoked. The Immediate elTcct ot
, hls decision , if followed , is to cripple , 1C
tot paralyze , the commissioners In the
discharge ot a large part ot their
tulles. It the witness hud been oidered to
answer and had refused , ho would have been
attached for contempt of court and com
mitted to the custody of the marshal ! , from
.tils custody he could have at once
jeen released on a habeas corpus
and hold to bail In a nominal
amount. The Important question raised
could thus have been speedily submitted to
.ho supreme court for dual decision without
the slightest oppression or oven Inconveni
ence to the witness. " 1 know of no way In
which the decision now luade can bo re
viewed by that high tribunal. "
