WASHINGTON , Oct. 7. Continuous sessions
nro wbal now confront the senate iu the
discussion of the bill to repeal the silver pur
chasing clause of the act of IS'JO. Vague
Intimations of continuous sessions have been
heard for some tlmo , bui this mornlmt Sen
ator Voorhecs gave ilelltiito notice that com
mencing \Vednesday next ho would ask
the senate lo sit continuously until a vole
was reached on the pending measure , and
that ho would expect senators to maintain u
quorum until the end ol the present contest
was reached ,
When Iho sunalo mot the vlco president
laid before It a telegraphic petition from tbo
Murelnmts exchange ot St. Ixniis , urging
speedy action on thu repeal bill.
Mr. Wolcott of Colorado offered it resolu
tion , which went over until Monday , direct
ing the commltlco on finance lo report a bill
for the coinage of gold and sliver in accord-
mice with the policy sot forth in the bill
reported by the committee August 20 , IS'JIl. '
being house bill No. 1.
Mr. Harris , democrat , of Tennessee , offered
a resolution , which was referred , creating a
select committee of live senators lo inyesli-
gate iho Ford'a theater disaster in Washing-
rton city and report whether In equity and
Justice the government should compensate
Iho sufferers therefrom.
SriiMlnr Voorlirt'u' .Notlro.
The repeal bill was taken up at llfi :
o'clock. Mr. Voorhees arose and said : "Mr.
President. 1 duslro to slnlo this morning in
Iho hearing of the senate and the country
that on Wednesday next after the mecling
of the senate I hhall ask it to continue in
session until a veto is taken upon the pend
ing measure , and 1 shall ask and expect
senators to maintain n quorum for Ihe
transaction of business until the end of this
protracted struggle is reached. I might say
moro , but mo''o is not necessary. I give this
notlco in oruer that senators may govern
themselves accordingly in the performance
of the duly Ihoy owe the public. "
Mr. Koaeh , democrat , of North Dakota ,
then addressed Iho senate. lie said ho was
' for the repeal of the purchasing clause of
iho Sherman act , and would ask in connec
tion with it some legislation recognizing
silver as H legal louder and for Us continued
coinage. Mr. Uoach said it was folly to talk
about an intei national agreement which waste
to include Great lirltuin. England would
never agree to bimetallism In any form tin-
loss forced lo do so. Ho was ready to vote
for the repeal of the act of Ib'JO unconditionally -
ally , oven If It were a makeshift. Congress
should call upon all nations on this hemi
sphere lo unite with the United States und
lot them say how iho money metals should
compare with e/aeh / other and how they
should bo raled as money. They should also
establish a uniform silver coin and provide
for its free coinage with gold.
"Then " said Mr Uoach "
, , , "tho United
Stales would fulfill Iho magnificent destiny
which lias been assigned It. "
Allrii or XeDr.isKu Taut'i Ihu Floor.
Mr. Allen , populist , of Nebraska Ihen oh-
tallied the lloor , hardly half a down senators
being present.
Mr. Slowarl was about lo suggcsl llio.ib-
ccrico of n quorum.
"No , " said Mr. Allen , " 1 do not want
them hero. " j
"Thoy will learn soineihing , " replied Mr.
Stewart.
"I will make lliem hear mo whether limy
nro In Iho senate or not , " said Mr. Allen ,
Then lie began his speech , Iho first part of
which was dovoled to a denunciation of the
net of ISTil.which ho charactrized as u crime.
After he had been speaking bonio lime Mr.
1'ottlgrow of South Dakota suggested the
nbscnco of n quorum. I5ut thlily-lliroc
senators responded when Iho roll was called
nnd Ihu sergcani-al-arms was directed to
request thu presence of the abscnleea.
Af tor a delay of flfteon minutes a quorum
wiis-scoureil and Mr. Allen procoodod. Ho
entered Into a technical discussion as lo the
usu of Iho word "intrinsic , " as applied lethe
the value of gold and silver. The masses of
the people , ho said , had been misled upon
'tho subject of iiilrluslc value of money.
Every pcmiy-u-llnor had been employed to
deceive and to mislead peuplo upon fie sub
ject. The same was true as lo "sound and
honest inonuy , " when the fuel was , Ihero
never had been a dollar with full legal len
der qualities which was not honest uui
worth as much us any other dollar.

A lenglhy discussion followed oelweon Mr.
Allison of Iowa , Allen of Nobr.iska , While
of Ixmlsinna und others on thcjo point * .
Mr AlH'ii ihen mndo a long argument in
favor of the free coinage of s > Uvor , tailing
the position thai tliorcnioiiotlzutlon of silver
would result in iiuTtuucnt of value ami the
sloro value which had been depreciated by
legislation.
Mr. Wluto asked how , If legislation hud
dcprcclutcd sliver , its vnlini could bo ro-
ktored by legislation In this country ut onco.
Mr. Allen did not admit Ihero was n de
preciation of silver in Iho comprehensive anu
br.iad eunsu. instead , llinre was merely I1UIV
disparity between coined gold : uid silver bul

Oct. T. Although some of
the most brilliant speakers of the housu in
lioth parties participated in the debuto to
day , bui llttlo Interest was urousixl , I'or-
haps iho speech which created the deupest
impression was tha I delivered by Dr. Hverott ,
tbo MuuaohuioUi mugwump , Dr. Everett
canit > hero with n high reputation as a col
lege professor and a pollllcal reformer ,
nnd some curiosity was excited as to
the pobltlon ho would take on thlt ques
tion , lie admitted the corruption existing
In thr south .mil thn proa t centers of popu
lation , but innintaiu''d that llicso laws only
Irritated and kept open wounds to deep
seated that Ihoy were taxing the host on-
rrglcs of nil social and political reformers.
The house was prietically deserted when
Ihn siicukcrdroppeil the gavel at 11 o'clock
this morning. The galU'rlc wcro empty and
there were about twonty-ono members on
the lloor , leu domoernts nnd eleven republi
cans. The annual report of the board of
managers of the National Soldiers' home
was laid before the house.
KviTctt Open * tlio Di'lmto.
Mr. Rvorett of Massachusetts opened Iho
deb'ilo on iho elections bill today. In ap
pearance ho looks like the college professor
that ho la. iio wears closely cropped side
whiskers and raid-bowed glasses and talks
with great oariiostno.H'j. The immortal sen
timent In politics , he UCCMII , could not bo
'lumped out by these Inws. He granted Iho
hiw3 were within Ihe scope of Iho constitu
tion , but ho contended that the power should
only be exercised under iInumsluiice.s : of ox-
ireino pressure. Some of the stales , like
New York , did uolsnnd presidential electors
when iVubhmglon was elecled , and lliis
power was given to remove Ibis ueglocl of
stales. These laws revived thu bitter feel
ing which the union only put down after
four bloody years. It wai admitted
that these laws wore ineffective. In splto
of them Iho same corruption still existed in
the south and the great centum of popula
tion. This was Uenumstralc'l by the fact
that the republicans sought to strengthen
them by the lnfitmois ) force bill. The cities
of Now York , Philadelphia and Chicago
presented another problem. Comiptionnml
restlessness oxlsled iu llu-so great Hubylons
to an extent that made the reformer and the
divine tremble. The old leaders of the
republican party , Andrews , Adams and Lin
coln , woronovor iilentillod with coercion. In
conclusion ho welcomed the confederates
back lo the halls of congress , because Ihoy
were his brothers and Massachusclls was a
union state. Ho appealed lo his colleagues
to blot out iho memories of thu past and
work for liberty and union.
( iroHVi'mtr > pcikH : In Opposition ,
drosvcnor of Ohio followed In opposition.
He made a vigorous assaull upon ihn demo
cratic party for its ultom.pt to slriko down
the national protection of the ballot box. Ho
said thin the democralic party was making
n great political blunder by repealing these
laws. It was u good thing for Ihat parly to
have the spectre of federal interference
stalk and walk in thu south on Iho eve of
election. Hemove It und it would sleal in
its own juice.
Hcferrimr lo Iho Van Alen appointment ,
ho said the evidence of the most degraded
condition lo which polities had ever descended -
scended was at hand when a rcspeclablo
gentlemen ( referring lo Horace Whlto of the
Now York Posl ) argued that u man who
also put up for the corruption fund of a party
should not bo recognized by appointment to
ollicc , bub should bo enlilled lo have Ijis
money refunded. Talk about Tammany !
Has thcro been any such degrading proposi
tion ns this ? When u boy , when u man buys
an appointment and gets caught at it , ho
shall have a standing in court to recover his
money ,
Aroused Mr. Sprluucr.
Ho went on to reply to some aspersions on
Ohio and to detail the democratic frauds in
Hamilton county in 1SS1. This aroused Mr.
Springer , who was chairman of a congres
sional commiltco sent to investigate these
frauds. Ho pointed out that on that occa
sion H,000 deputy United States marshals had
been appointed In Cincinnati , OOi ) of thorn ig
norant negroes armed with bulldog re
volvers from Kentucky.
Mr. Oates of Alabama advocated the pas
sage of the bill. His argument was confined
largely to the con&litullonttl phase of the
question. ,
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa , ex-solicitor of tlio
treasury , said it was an insolent assumption
of the democrats that the republican parti-
was interfering with their domestic affairs.
Wo have the sumo right to require honest
elections in the .south as if the trespassing
were within the limlls of our own slalo.
These decried .statutes do not interfere with
siato elections , but only rc < iuro ! that there
shall bo proper .scrutiny und poaeo al thu
polls , so Ihat every man shall have the right
to vote as ho pleases at federal elocllons ,
Ho referred to Iho utterances of Mr. Money
of Mississippi n few days ago , that white
men shall rule , constitulioii or no consti
tution.
"MiuUlllK of III" North. "
"Ilnvo you learned nothing lu Iho lust
thirty years ? " asked Mr. Hepburn , address
Ing iho democrats. ' 'Da you not know thai
Ihc men you used locatl the 'mudsills of the
north' cnnslitiito majorities in this country ;
thai Ihoy are Iho men who love their Inslttu-
lions nnil who will not penult the laborers
nf this country , In Mississippi or any whore
else , lo bu robbed of their righls because ll
stills your purposes ; " [ Applause. ]
Ho denied that these election laws wore
designed lo insure Iho domination of Iho re
publican party ; with as many democrats as
republican judgns thcro was no advantage
to either party. Ho declared that In ( ho
scnuto this was all un economic question.
The desire lo keep down iho black man was
because of iho di'slro to produce cheap
coitoti.
"You gentlemen , " ho said , "hud bolter re
organize your Ideas of labor and its ivspectu-
lilllt.v hi thlsigreativonomiit problem of ours.
\Vu do not reg'ird our laboring men as

In Now York. They were designed for Iho

Inforniallon reached here late lusl night
that Admiral Mello , commanding the Insur
gent .squadron In the bay of Hlo do Jauoiro ,
has ordered i'eixoto to abandon the cily
within forty-eight hours or Ihe Heel will re
sume Us bombardment of the city. Tie ( dip
lomatic corps is in favor of Pcixoto with
drawing from Hlo , rs it bclloves such a
course on his part would terminate the war.
Pelxoto , however , refuses lo yield and Is
making fresh preparations to curry on oper
ations with greater vigor than ho has yet
shown. Ono of his new projects'is to com
bat Mello's Ileut with ships as well as with
the shore batteries.
To this end the government has ordered
the organisation of a naval division of Iho
north , which will bo placed under command
of Admiral Gonzalcs Duarto. The govern
ment has also opened a ? t,000,000 credit to
meet the expenses of Ihe war.
It is now known that Mello's ships , which
It had been supposed were plentifully sup
plied with stores of all kinds , are running
short of ammunition. The AquidabaV und
other vessels of Ihe Insurgent Heel in the
harbor , ire floating high In the water , which
shows that they have been greatly lightened.
This proves them to be short of powder and
shot , and probably of provisions.
The diplomatic corps in Hio Janeiro has
notified ' Admiral Melto that ho must abstain
from throwing shell and shot into undefined
parts ' ' of town ; otherwise the foreign ships in
Ihe ; harbor will bo ordered to prevent him
from bombarding the town.
The chief of police in Santos prohibits
anybody from leaving the city by water un
less provided with a passport.
Souor Monteiro , Brazilian minister in this
city , has received news telling of disastrous
effects of bombardment of lIe { do Janeiro.
There is no truth in the rumor that has heen
circulated in certain quarters that some of
Iho ofllcors of Iho foreign men-of-war at Kio
do Janeiro have been giving their support to
Mollo. All the foreign ofticers willioul ex
ception have mainlained a strict neutrality ,
and not ono has shown by any action , no
matter how trivial , the slightest leaning ? tow
ard either faction.
Distress In the City.
The Herald correspondent In Hio Je Janeiro ,
Brazil , bus wired the following additional 1
particulars of oxcillng evenis that hap
pened lu that city up to September 23 : The
situation in Kio do Janeiro was ncvor so
ahirniln.tr as it is now. The city is in n stuto
of wildest panic. Persons uro slarving
throughout Iho capital , nnd Ihe fooling
against Peixoto is so Intense Ihat wild
rumors uro ( lying about on every hand about
attcmpls to assassinate him. The knowl
edge of actual starvation in Iho lowu adds
lo the consternation created by the contin
ued bombardment of the city , the savage
ruiiU of Pehoto's soldiers , Iho total suspon-
of business , wholesale arrests und the
KoUureof men to servo in Iho army.
Provisions have long 'bscn scarce in Iho
cily. The lack ot food and oilier supplies
has been deicribud Informer disp.vlohe * to
tha Herald. Prices have buaii so high Ihat
iho common necessaries of food wore bayond
Iho reach of any but iho wealthy , nnd now
this scant store Ins been practically ex
hausted , There seams to bo llllio prospect
of any relief , for ll is impossible In bring
supplies iulo the city.
I'liinilt'ruit by I'tilYDlo'i * Troops ,
All traftlc ny water lias been stopped by
Mello's Hoot In the bay , while thn approaches
by land are made more dangerous , If uny-
ihlng , by the prowling bands otrobbors , who ,
under iho safeguard of Peixoio's uniform
und by force of numbers , pillage , plunder
und slay until Iho life of no person Is s.ifc.
In this stale of affair ? no one dares lo onlqr
Kio de Janeiro with food irom the suburbs ,
und us iho railroads have slopped running
no merchandise can Oa obtained from moro
distant points.
Absolute- dismay prevails in nil < iuurlars
and Ihu excilemenl is so great that nobody
ventures lo predict what tlio end will ha.
Streets are unsafe and homes arts not secure
against i'elxoio's urmoJ bands , who , un lor
orders from their superior * , uro se.vrchlng
houses and throwing Into prison every
prominent person who U ihoilght lo bo yv
sympathy with the insurgents. If , however -
over , Po'xoio ' hopes 'to imprison nil iho
partisans of .Mollo no must u treat almost
OVIT.V person In iho Uraidllun capital , for tlio
unanimous scntiinunt Is bitlor ugulnU the
president. Ills line of conduct is unlver-
sally condemned.
Uill/riitt.Nt't'illiiinily Kvpoxnil.
He alone is held responsible for Iho re
newed boinbardinent of the city , by reopen
ing the cannonading und drawing iho llro of
the ships after the Heel had become quiel.
Poixnto has driven Iho Inhabitant * Into u
state of frenzy. By pluulinir batteries on
the hill among private residences , when iho
guns open lire on fho ships thu licet will di
rect Us snot ul ilium in nu effort lo silcnco
them. Tlio shells falling among the houses
are sure lo work Irreparable damngo to ono
of the flnesl residence districts of iho city.
The diplomatic corps has notlllud I'cixoio
thai if ho will remove his balleries from lha
water front und other points where ho has
planted his puns and cease firing uu Iho
ships , so us not to provoke n reply from the
squadron under Mello. iho foreign warships
in the harbor will combine to slop Ihe bom
bardment of the city , poixulo has declined
to listen to this proposal und declares ho
will continue lighting , ns he believes no Is
able to crush ihc revolt in ihc squadron.
Mello Mmu > Iliitnifi * .
H he persists in Ihis course it is believed ,
the city will bo badly damaged , at every
hostile movement meets with a prompt reply
from the artillery of the squadron , and the
exploding shells are bound > to work great
destruction. Those inhabitant ! ! of the capi
tal : who have boon unabld to get away ,
seeing in nil those frightful conditions signs
of worse things to come , are wild with
anxiety. Each succeeding event increases
the panic. The nuvy menus business , and
[ ' will require stronsf , measures lo prevent
Iho , fleet from pressing its attacks wilh
groalcr aggressiveness than heretofore.
i Henry Wntinotigh was iho English clerk
of Iho Ixjndon and Brazilian bank who lost
his life during the bombardment of Hlo , Ho
was at breakfast in his hotel when a shell
entered the room and killed him. Tno hotel
was seriously damaged und nil iho ocrupatils
wore lerror slrlcken by the explosion.

conspirators , who , under the English llii
which they hud raise I on a tus boat , were
engaged In u plot to blow up the Brazilian
man-of-war Aquldutnu wltn lorpudoos , uro
stdi In custody , iful their fate has not been
decided. As told In former titan itches to
the Herald , the conspirators were inlor-
copied by iho British war ship Itucor , whoso
commander turned Boyu ton over to Captain
Picking of Iho Uulled Slates cruiser Charles
ton. Boyuton Is at the head of u party
which is in the pay of President Pelxoto.
Hlplonmtio Corp * Iiitiirrcrcd ,
The diplomatic corps , however , is not dis
posed lo lei Peixolo carry out his will in
inaUcr.and the foreign representatives
in Hio hive nt lust taken u decided stand in
relation to the disturbances in the cily.
Pelxolo's conduct bus lcl to this result.
The crimes committed by his soldiers
whoso brutality , if not actually encouraged.
Is certainly not checked lly their commanders ,
who spare neither life nor property when in
the guise of searching panics they explore
the cily , have gone to a limit which bus
forced llio foreign representatives to action.
Convinced that Peixoto is powerless to
guarantee the safety of life or property of
foreign residents of the city from his sol
diers , they have given Iho president until
Sunday to show he can ass jro adequate pro-
teclion or his inabilily lo do so. In the lat
ter case the warships in the harbor will bo
ordered to land men in Hio du Janeiro to pre
serve order. Everybody In the city hopes
the latter action will bo taken , as It is be
lieved that in this way only can any security
bo given to the city.
Serious difference Ins arisen in the diplo
matic corps over Ihe question of the right of
intervention of European nations in Amer
ican affairs. The representatives of the
South American countries and of the United
States nro opposed lo any interference in
Brazilian affairs by Ihe European diplomats
and stand on Iho theory of "America for
Americans , "
Hoping for I'oralcn Aid.
But no mailer how this question is decided
and what nations lake it upon UicmselvcB to
udjusl Iho affairs of the war stricken coun
try Iho universal hope in Itio do Janeiro is
that there will bo foreign intervention. The
mere mention of a possibility of this pro
ceeding is hailed wilh delight nnd is re
garded as giving promise of u regeneration
of the country.
A formidable body of foreign sailors could
be landed in Hio , as shown from the follow
ing list of warships in the harbor : United

iho diplomatic corps will order Pelxoto to

-Special to TUB Ur.i.1 The entlro political
situation In Kuropo is now donilnutcd by
Italy , which country alone menaces the peace
of Ktiropo In a serious way.
Italy continues her warlike uroparatlons
with a feverijh activity which is simply In-
deserlbablo , and of which every day brings
a now proof. Her armament Is now so com
plete that she Is in a position to declare war
and take the Hold within a week utter-
ward. Italy , however , has no motive for
letting loose the dogs of war other than the
increasing poverty and suffering of her
people. She has como to that pass when
she says to herself that It would bo better
lo risk everything on tlio ha/.ird of a war
rather than continue in her present straits.
Hut Franco does not reply to her provoca
tions , and continues in her peaceful line of
policy , unmoved , whim Germany gives Italy
the wise advice to refrain from bellicose
acts.
lii-rlln u Chuck on Koine.
In splto of what diplomats say as to the
part of ISerlin In the Triple Alliance , it can
be asserted that just now Berlin is holding
Homo back ,
Englai.d Is also doing everything in her
power to preserve peace , and when she found
out Ihat the Italians were interpreting the
visitor her fleet to Italian ports as an ad-
hcsion on her part to the Triple Alliance ,
she at once reduced the number ot the visiting -
ing squadron to what was strictly necessary
in order to preserve a mere show of inter
national courtesy. A trace of British intri-
guine can , however , be found in Ihe troubles
in Morocco , which have rendered Spanish
intervention necessary in that country.
England hopes that after IhoSpaniards have
fought a campaign iu that country the
Morocco question will bo opened in u way
which will permit the intervention of all the
powers of Europe. It is therefore to bo ex-
expected that now diflleulties will present
themselves in Morocco , oven if the present
ono should disappear.
Ftopoiie.to Keep It Oulrt.
The excitement caused by the expected
visit of the itusshu licet to Toulon and of
the Russian sailors to Paris is calming down ,
The czar and the French government are
doing everything in their power in order to
make it evident that Iho character of the
visit is pre-eminently pacific and that any
warlike manifestations would be dangerous.
Any ether shouts than ' 'Vivo la Franco" and
"Vivo la Hnssio" will bo prohibited and a
close watch will bo kept at the frontier in
order to prevent the entrance of any agonls
whoso mission it is to provoke an interna
tional quarrel. It Is also feared that the
anarchists may take advantage of the occa
sion and show their teeth.
But Italy is the only real serious cause for
anxiety , and no ono can tell whether or not
wo nro to bo treated to a surprise from the
peninsular kingdom. JACQUES ST. CEHC.

CAI'ETOW.V , South Africa , Oct. 7. A dis
patch from iho frontsa.vs that the MiUobolcs
liavo attacked a patrol of the Hechuanaland 1
police while the latter was on its usual
round. The attack tonk place in the northern
.
ern part of Hcchuaiialaml , and was replied
.
to by the police , who exchanged several
volleys with the natives , and after a sharp
skirmish the Mataboles wcru made to lly lo
Iho bush.
The attack upon the police occured in Iho
vicinity of Shasto. The affair derives im
portance from the fact that it was directed
against Iho imperial force which has been
protecting Chief IChama , and il also indi
cates that King Lobengula Intends to attack
Tali and the country under government con
trol. The pollen will ho strongly reinforced
by Khama's warriors , and some severe light
ing is anticipated.
An ofilcial communication hai been re
ceived here from thu British colonial olllco ,
saying ihat it had been decided that a lorco
of imperial troops , polluo and troopers Is lo
occuny Tall as soon as possible. This as.
sistuuco will greatly strengthen the Char-
term ! company's forces and will leave Iho
iailcra freer hand in operations against the
Mnlabcles.
It Is reported that the government will
follow up the occupation of Tall by sending
a slronw corps of imperial troops and police
to co-opi rate with iho company's force in
chastising Ihu rebellious warriors of King
Ijobongula. t
Volunieors , well armed and mounted , are
Hocking from all parts of iho colony lo Forts

Never more limn a light wind prevailed
during the day and sometimes it was

A few moments later the gun was lireil

b'iro few seconds separated thorn. They
kept within easy range for an hour or more ,
hut rounding the stake the Vigilant had
nearly ten minutes the best of It , and oven
on tlio mile reach which followed , the cup-
defender was seen to creep away from her
opponent.

The thousands of spectators allowed joy
lu their countenances as the Vigilant crept
steadily nearer the swinging lightship.
Their [ Joy burst its bounds as the brave llttlo
Vigilant dipped gruootully through tlio
waves , ami long before the screaming of
whistles told of a royal battle ended , 100,000
tongues proclaimed in trno American accord
that as yet the queen of thu eenter-boardora
and cutters is here , and has still speed and
strength to bear the name of eup defender
In j , reality.
When the committee in charge , who word
stationed on Commodore -Morgan's flagship ,
decided that the course should begin with alee
leo run to the cast-northeast before tha
west-northwest wind , a signal on the must
was run up to announce this fact. At 11
a. m. the skippers in charge of the racers ,
having accented the conditions of tha
weather and the Judgment of the committee ,
which was to the effort that the race should
be started , they began to skirmish for a
favorable position above the line in order
that they might get over the mark under
the most favorable advantages.
Slclrmlf.liliiff Inr tint Sturt.
The Vnlkyrio had stood somewhat further
up to the north from the American boat and
caino to the wind some throe lengths behind.
The English boat continued and the Vigilant
came about. The American boat made an
other tack after this , but before the Val
kyrie came about , heading down the line tha
prcuaring gun had boon tired , and when the
starting gun was llrcd there wai only a
question of about 150 feet between the two
yachts , the Valkyrie being the loader. At
that time the wind was blowing at a rate ot
about seven miles an hour.
Almost .simultaneously the yachts lowered
their spinnaker booms and set their big siuo
sails and began their journey. Up to that
time the Vullryriu not only held her own ,
but increased her lead pretty nearly hnU
her own length. Tlie cutter kept increaslni ;
her lead anil at the end of ft milo she wai
good ten lengths jihead. On each boat the
sailor work was splendid. The Valkyrie
increased her lead ut least ono moro length
during the Unit two miles.

The American had been on the leo quarter
of the Englishman , and , as said before , anino
distance behind. Suddenly she shot ahead ,
The Vigilant had caught a slant of wind , al
though she wan considerably to leeward , but
the Valkyrie was not touched. It was In a ,
measure a reversal of what occurred on
Thursday. However that may bo , the Vigi
lant went ahead , bounding through the
water wilhherspoon bow.nnd within fifteen
minutes wasfullv a quarter of a mile In tha
lead. In a quarter of an hour alio was so far
ahead of her adversary that ovorvbi > dy
could sto that sno had far more than an even
chance to boat the cutter lu the. run before
llw wind to the outer mark.
The American boat not only hold her load ,
but Iw'roasBd It to a full mile before she had
sailed llvi ! mllus. It was about this time that
the wind hauled away around to south
southwest. The Vigilant hauled aboard her
spinnaker in a nmurhubly ; short space ot
time. The work done by the seamen on tha
American boat was In that notion especially
commendable , The Valkyrlo hold on to ho
spinnaker for at least HOVOII minutes after
this. Tlio Valkyrie remained at her milo
distance on the weather quarter of the Vigi
lant and could not gain an Inch. Half im
hour after thi.i tlio wind shifted again ,
almost bark to the point it had como from
witli the start. Once moro the spinnaker *
were rlpgcA iind-itill the Valkyrie could not
Improve her position. On the contrary , ntio
rather dropped off. The Vigilant went on
again and dtu not stop In iho process to th
end of Hie Journey.

The Anmrleari boat made her turn out
