INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT POSSIBLE Success of the Unionists Will Surely Bring About the Conference. LI MICHAEL HICXS-B-ACH ON THE SU3JECT What the Present Ohanoillor of tha Ex- chequer Said at Bristol. CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ON SILVER COINAGE Mot a Matter to Ilo Disposed of l.tRhtly , but One Deeply Affecting the Com- mcrclnlnml Agricultural Intcr- cits of the Country. ( CopyrlRhti 1S5 , by Press PuullMilnir Company. ) LONDON , Juno 29. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Doubtless the question In the coming general election of most Interest to us will be the Influence of the result upon an International monetary conference , should It bo called this year by Germany , by the United Stales , or any other government that Is to say , Its Influence upon Great Britain's attitude- that conference. If the liberals secure a mi. , rlty In the next Parliament It may be accepted as almost per tain that the Instructions to the English dele gates' will bo as at Brussels , hostile to any International bimetallic agreement. Sir Wil liam Harcourt will doubtless dominate the financial policy of the next liberal govern- J ment , nnd ho is uncompromisingly In favor o : y\the single gold standard ; In fact , there Is not a single loader , so far as known , who favors any change from Great Britain's presen policy. But , If the unionists come In , there is a' strong probability that the delegates wll have quite different Instructions from these .v Brussels , If even the Instructions are no directly In favor of an agreement , Including England , If It can bo made prac'lcable. ; PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS FAVORABLE The question will probably cut no figure In the campaign. The unionist leaders will not venture to antagonize the anti-silver senti ment In London , which sends fifty-nine mem bers to Parliament , but two of the most In fluential members of the unionists govern ment , Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chaplin , are pro nounced blmotalllsts. Mr. Goschen Is be lieved , on written authority , .to be of an open mind on the question , while Sir Michael 1 Hicks-Beach , the new chancellor of the ex chequer , has recently expressed the opinion that an International attempt "to diminish the use of gold In coinage and Increase the use of silver" would be of advantage to the world. This certainly can only be construed as an express-Ion favorable to an International bimetallic agreement , although he coupled It with a warning against ony but the most careful Interference with the present cur rency system. As Sir Michael will certainly be again chancellor , which olUce corresponds with our secretary ot the treasury , If the unionists come In , and as Mr. . "Balfour will * ' . ' "be equally certain to warmly advocate a bl- * * * " metallic agreement on the part of the- govern ment , of which ho will be the real leader , the exact words of Sir Michael on this sub ject will bo of great Interest In America. The occasion was the annual banquet of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce on ths eve of May 1 , last , and I find practically a verbatim report In the Bristol Mirror of the following morning. It Is n curious fact that no Lon don paper has yet alluded to this speech In comments on the now ministry. Sir Michael had discussed at length the depression of English manufacturing , as well ns agricultural Interests , and expressed the fear that competition from the United States , India and Japan might hereafter bo then more prejudicial than now to England's manu factured as well as her agricultural products. During the dinner he continued that the mayor of Bristol and he had a little per sonal discussion on bimetallism. APPROACH IT CAUTIOUSLY. Ho would 'simply say that ho did not think there was any more abstruse or moro diffi cult question than that connected with the currency. They thought these matters on which In party politics they differed of grave moment , and so they were , but he would venture , to tell them that n mistake In dealing with the currency In thin country might Inflict ruin upon this country as much as any political change that wo had In con temptation at the present time could inflict , therefore Jio was surprised at the facility with which many gentlemen who he did not think had studied this matter more carefully than he had done , pronounced their opinions for or against monometallism or bimetallism , as If they were able masters of the subject. He would tell them this , he did not believe there was a single man In. England who could with any certainty fore cast what effect n change In our currency might have on the fortunes of this country. Tha politician In active llfo who was to his mind best qualified from experience am ! ability to express an opinion on this subjecl was Mr. Goschen. There was no man who had been moro diffident In expressing an opinion at all , and therefore ho would not pretend to dogmatize himself on so grave and dlfilcult a matter. What he would say was this : He thought It was proved that gold had appreciated In recent years. He thought It clear that the appreciation o gold In the main was an Injury to the coun try , nnd ho should like to see an Interna tional attempt , for so only could It bo suc cessful , to diminish the use ot gold In coin- ego and Increase- the use of silver ( "Hear,1 "hear , " ) . Ho thought that with the In creased production of gold that they now saw In West Australia and South Africa such an attempt might really have a very great effect In stopping at any rate 'ie ' further appreciation of gold , and he bollevet If that could bo done It would bo a grca public advantace. ENGLAND WILL SOLVE IT. Further tlun that ho was not prepared t go and after what ho had laid they woul scarcely suspect him ot being willing , bur rledly , ho might almost My , to depart fron that cold Manila rd which for so many year bad been looked upon as the safety of lluanc In this country. Ho commended these sub Jccts to their cirnrft consideration , at h could assure them Unit they would have hi own. He wai confident It Ihcio mutters wer fairly considered by Englishmen In connectlo with those commercial , trading end ogr'cu tural difficulties to which he had alluded that sr.mc solution would bo found whlc . wouJ | secure the prosperity ot our countrj There had been difficult time * In England be fare , worse lluits than tlicie , bat thcra ha not been a time with which Englishmen were ncompetcnt to deal. Mr. Lorln Lathrop , United States consul at Jrlstol , having made seme reference to Sir BrMl Michael's speech , ho again rose , saying that 10 "regretted the representative of the United State ' < i was unable to appreciate his exact po sition | t' en the subject cf bimetallism , but he ; nthered from the observations of that gen tleman that his country would tike to sell some of Its surplus silver. That being so , It would be wiser on his own part , as a rep- representative of the country which might bo the buyer , to decline to engage Ln any further discussion. " " " " . " ( "Hear. "Hear. ) In a note recently received by the World correspondent from Mr. Henry Chaplin , through his secretary , the new president of the local government board says : "Mr. Chap lin Is unw lllng to make any statement on the free sliver question In the United States now. Ho has not considered It sufficiently , but ; Is rather Inclined to favor separate actl/Jn on the pirt cf the Un'tcd States. " LIBERALS MAY YET TRIUMPH. The- dissolution of Parliament Is now fixed feW July 8. The elections will all be held within three weeks thereafter , and the new Parliament will commence In August. There Is really extraordinary doubt ns to the result , for while I find the liberal leaders In private conversation disposed to admit defeat , even the most sanguine of the unionists arc not claming moro than forty majority In a house of ( C70 members as an outside. But I think at a careful observer I see no undoubted atei evidence that the liberals will bo defeated at eial all , but qulto the contrary. Jn spite of the fact that the liberal party is made up ot a dozen or more factions , with sometimes quite diverse Interests ; In spite of the fact that their great leader has absolutely retired from active political life and was succeeded by n member of the very body for the prac tical abolition of which the liberal party is pledged and has been , moreover , on terms of hardly concealed hostility with the leader ot the House of Commons ; In spite ot the fact that the Irish contingent has lost Its chief Incentive for support In at least the tem porary shelving of liome rule , nnd of number less personal and political disappointments and the grievances of other members , the liberals have only lost an aggregate of five seats In three years since the last election. There Is beyond this loss no obvious proof whatever that the liberal party has lost the confidence of the country. If Redmond's Irish band , for apparently selfish purposes , had not deserted to the torles , the liberal 1 government would likely Jhavo remained In owcr until It had passed through the House very one of the great measures It had In- reduced , and would , moreover , have made uch a case against the House of Lords that ie country would have adopted the proposed Tuasuro for the abolishing of its veto , thus making homo rule for Ireland n possibility. PROHABLE IRISH CHANGES. The Irish leaders now seem absolute'y confl- ent of securing five seats from the Red- ondltcs , Including Waterford city and East laic , for which the Redmond brothers them- elves sit. The Redmondltes , on the other hand , are certain to win West Wlcklow If liey can , as In Cork city , secure the unlon- st vole , while they have a chance of wln- ! ng Kilkenny city , both at present McCar- liylto seats. In Ulster the McCarthyltes alculatc certainly on winning three seats rom the unionists , while they have a good nance of capturing two more. Assuming liese expectations to be realized , they would cturn eighty strong , while the Redmondltes ould only have six Instead ot nine members , s now. The statement was circulated that Thomas Sexton Intends retiring from public life at he general election. As he Is virtually leader f the McCarthylte party and unsurpassed , n the House of Commons , on parliamentary ptttude , knowledge and ability , his reslgna- lon would be a great calamity for the Irish iause. The World correspondent saw Sex- on today and Inquired as to the truth of ' he report. He was very reticent and had : ivldenlly been subjected to a strong pressure rom his colleagues to reconsider his rcsolu- lon to retire. He seems to have been d's- ; usted by the squabbling , of the Irish party and by the determined efforts of Healyltes In the party to thwart every attempt to advance ho cause of unity. Mr. Sexton has not taken partisan line in these feuds , though he las found himself driven 10 oppose all dls- ntegratlng efforts by his Interest In the welfare of home rule. He has practlnlly borne the whole brunt of parliamentary work In the party , representing It on every mportant committee and treating on Its be- lalf with the late legislation ministers on he Irish question. Never robust In health , this work has told severely on him , and lie does not see why he should wear out his 1 fe working at a thankless task. However , though ho would not directly admit It , the , World correspondent believes that his de termination to retire has been much weak ened by the powerful protest evoked through out Ireland by the mention of It. ANOTHER MARRIAGE THAT FAILED. Preliminary application will be made be fore Sir Francis Jcune next Monday In the suit for a judicial separation brought by Mrs. Cralglo , the brilliant American woman , whose novels , Issued under the nom de plume of John Oliver Hobbs , have a wide circula tion and public esteem perhaps not equalled In England since Dickens. She asks for. the custody of one child of her marriage. Mra. Crclgle Is the daughter of John Morgan Rich ard , formerly of New York , but for several I seasons In business In London. He Is un derstood to have a large Income and his I daughter lives with him In a largo house In Lancaster Gate , where they entertain Iny. lavishly. She IB a favorite In London society , among her Intimate friends being the prin cess ot Teck , the mother ot the duchess of York , who often makes Mr. Richard's home 1 her stopping place when coming up to London nj don for a night. Mrs. Cralglo was married to an Englishman eight years ago , and separated from her husband , who Is nn officer In the Bank of England within ina year. Under the British law she Is entitled to the custody of the child until he Is 7 years old , and as he Is now arriving at that age she Instituted the suit to secure charge cf him until he Is 21 , as her husband noti fied her he Intended to claim him forthwith. The grounds on which Mrs. Cralgie relies for separation are understood to be of a painful character , The widowed countess of Cottenham , a handsome woman and a notable figure In fashionable society , has Just given her friends a profound surprise by Joining the Catholic church , together with her daughter. Lady Mary Ppys , a girl of IS. Her son , the present earl of Cottenham , ccntlnucs a Piotcctaiit. Samuel Pepys , the famous diarist , was oi.e of his ancestors. A still more remarkable case of conversation Is that ot I > ady O'Hagan , widow of the former lord chancellor of Ireland. Her husband was n Catholic und she belongs to the Townely family In Lancashire , whose mem bers have been notified for centuries for their adherence to Catholicity through pcr- secutlon. She herself had always been cloiely Iden'lfted with the active work cf the Catholic church In England.

( CopyrlRhtcd , H93 , by the Associated Press. ) LONDON , June 29. The dissolution of Parliament , which , as the marquis of Salis bury Intimated in the House of Lords , will likely occur on July 8 , will be the deitli- knell of the season hero mid In a fortnight there will be a general exodus to the country , While the court functions already arranged will be held , the dates fixed on for many big private parties have been cancelled and the West end ehopkceqers are suffering In con sequence from the result of the feeling of de pression which has fallen upon the social worrd. The theaters and other places of amusement ore als > o feeling the effect of the clouds which are sweeping over society , and the attendance at even the most attractive houses has already decreased to a noticeable dfgree. On all sides the agents ot both parties are actively preparing for the fray. The rust Is being rubbed off the time-worn suits of political armor and all the old weapons of a British electoral campaign are being bur- Dished up to the highest polish. Quiet can vassing already going on In some quarters and the Primrose league Is preparing to rally to the standard of the marquis of Salisbury the army of torles , eager for the battle , the result of which Is looked upon as certain to be a victory for conservatism. The campaign will begin In deadly earnest next week , when Lord Roseb ry will fire the first battery of big guns for the liberals In his speech at Royal Albert hall , South Ken sington , and the same day Sir William Vernon Harcourt , ex-chancellor of the exchequer , will pour hot shot Into the tory ranks In .an address which he Is to deliver at Derby , the seat which he has represented In Parliament since 18SO. Following the booming of these heavy pieces of political artillery will be heard a fierce reply from the batteries of some of the leaders of the conservative unionist parties , Including the marquis of Salisbury , Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour and lit. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain , now dubbed "Judas" by the Irish nationalists , and then firing will be taken up along the lines of both the llbaral and conservative forces , and the engagement will become general. Every man on each side who can be expected to win a vote by a * speech will be called upon to do ea , and a hot exchange of recriminations will fill the air until the polling clears away the smoke of battle. QUEEN IS GREATLY PLEASED. Vanity Pair says It Is understood that the queen Is greatly pleased at the change of government ' and she hopsd that a very solid and able minister would be selected to con trol the admiralty department as first lord of the admiralty. Her majesty has recer-tly been devoting much attention to the British nivy and to the relative strength of the navies of the world. Cuttings from various newspapers commenting upon the .subject are collected , and these , with ths opinions of experts , are read to the queen , who lis tens most attentively and has notes made for future reference. Nazrullah Khan , the Afghan visitor who has attracted so much attention In the press and elsewhere , has taken great Interest In > the change of ministry and Is said to have bean quite sorry that the earl of KImberly , ex-secretary of state for foreign affairs , has lost his portfolio. This solicitude upon the part of Nazrullah for the carl Is due to the fact that the latter has been untiring In his efforts to make the prince's visit a pleasant one , and has so far succeeded In smoothing over the little unpleasantnesses which have so frequently cropped up since the ameer's son landed on these shores. There Is no doubt that the carl or his agents deserve great credit , for a more difficult person to please than Nazrullah Khan never set foot on British soil. The Bimetallic league Is naturally pleased that the marquis of Salisbury Is again pre mier and Its members are preparing for sonu active work at the approaching general elec tlon. They are also greatly pleased at the weighty character of the signatures which they obtained to the recent memorial , show Ing that bimetallism had representative porters among the bankers , Including eight directors ot the Bank of England , In addi tion to a numbr ot prominent members ot the Industrial classes and labor organization ; . The league Is convinced that the bankers' antl-blmetalllc memorial was inspired by Sir William Vernon Ilarcourt , the former chancellor of the exchequer blng forced to support the bimetallic resolution In the House of Commons when he taw the possibility of f having to appoint delegates to a conferencs. The league explains the absence ot Mr. Bal- four's signature by saying that he and Mr. Henry Chaplin thought It discourteous to sign a memorial addressed to the leader of the House of Commons when they were leading his opponents. Truth devotes considerable space to the Grlndewald conference which Is so largely patronized by Americans. Referring to the conference , Truth says : "It Is one of the most obnoxious humbugs before the public. It Is simply a tourist agency surrounded by a halo -ot cant about educational aJvan- tages. " Commenting on the downfall of Lord Rose bery , Truth expresses the opinion tit ! the ex-premier would have made an admirable master of the horse and that his tpltath should be : "Hero lies Archibald Primrose fifth carl nf Rojebery , once prime minister ot England. He lost twenty seats and won two derbies. " LONDON SOCIAL GOSSIP , It Is learned upon good authority that there la some foundation for the rumor ttiat the prince of Wales may slip over to New Ycrk In September In order to witness the races for the America's cup , If all Is quiet here.

The duke of Fife , It should bsLo added , has never been popular arid the Lo ' occupy a far 'higher petition In society than he docs , In spite of the fact that he married the Princess Louise ot Wales.

A cheap edition of "Trilby" has made Its appearance on the book stalls here , but It Is not meeting with a large sale. The new farcical play at the Vaudeville th , "The Strange * Adventures ot Miss in , " has been well received. This Is the only novelty In theatricals of the week. At the theaters the past week has been n dull one and the managers arc more or less panic stricken at the prospect of the general election.

The attitude assumed by the olllcers f the French fleet Is now generally and evtrely criticised , and It Is significant , that ho semi-official Allgemlne Zeltung most un- parlngly comments on the subject and Imrges the French with carrying discord Into eneral harmony and with pronounced lack f International courtesy. The same paper Iso belittles the Importance of the Russo- "rench understanding , so ostentatiously dls- layed at Kiel , adding : "The few Russian nd French vessels there cut a very Inslgnlfl- ant figure. The chauvinistic utterances of he rabid portion ot the French press arc Idlculed here as childish. On the other and , the cordial sympathy shown us by England Is keenly appreciated. " The American ships , their commanders and rows have peen praised to the skies , and he exchange of courtesies between Emperor Vllliam and the American officers Is inter- ireted as meaning a closer knitting of the rlondshlp between the two nations.

His majesty fre quently used the expression "gallant Amerl- : ans. " STARTS , ON HIS OUTING. Emperor William left Kiel on board the mperlnl yacht Hohenzollern In order to bo ireFenTJn.t | the Trave Mund regatta. Ho Is xpected-to" return 'to Kiel'today and will cave the port on Monday for a month's irulse along the coast of Norway and Sweden , md ho. will arrive at Cowles , Isle of Wight , an August 3 to witness the regattas there. At' the various water cures of Germany ho hotels are generally full. Carlsbad takes be lead , the -visitors there numbering 18,000 , and at Marienbad there are 5,400. The facll- ties' for reaching Carlsbad have been much mproved lately. The municipal authorities are excited at Emperor William's recent criticisms on the municipal government In the matter of their lleged Indifference to building now churches. His majesty has also charged them with ack of patriotism and with being wanting In fealty to the monarchy. Emperor Francis Joseph Is expected to arrive - rive at Stettin on September 9 and to stay there three days In order to witness the naneuvers. The Austrian emperor will be accompanied by the chief of the Austrian [ general staff and by a large suite. The 'German ' turnfest occurs at Essllngen , Wurtemburg , on July 22. Twenty-nine men of the Fourth regiment of Infantry , stationed at Aachen , have de serted across the Belgian frontier since April. CONVICTED THE COUNTERFEITERS. A sensational case at Hamburg , which has resulted In the conviction ot a gang of coun terfeiters , their respective sentences ranging from three to eight years' Imprisonment , has been concluded. August Thlea and Robert ' Geutsch were the head of the gang , which had between 1892-94 circulated counterfeit American $5 notes and English 5 notes to the value of $1.250,000. Thels was caught In Australia , through having attempted to pass an American bill bearing the head of General Grant and apparently printed from a genuine Washington copper plate. Three German warships have been dis patched to Morocco to enforce satisfaction for the murder of a German merchant. The bill aboard the United States cruiser New York at Kiel on Thursday last wa well attended. The Hamburger Nacrlchten complains that there was no reference to Prince Bismarck , although the canal owes Its existence to him. The newspaper mentioned also continues Its attack upon Dr. von lioettlcher , the Imperial secretary ot state for the Interior , with In creased vigor since the publication of the emperor's letter praising the minister for his long and faithful service. In the official circles here the advent of the marqula of Salisbury to power again In Eng land Is welcomed as n change for tlie better , and especially as Lord Rosebery never In spired confidence among German statesmen. The utterances of the German press on the subject are very sympathetic. The Vosslsche Zeltung , for Instance , expresses the opinion that an era of vigorous foreign policy will nowbegln * , and that Great Brltlan's pliant attitude toward France and Russia Is at an end. In fact , there seems to be a general feeling that the marquis of Salisbury will lay weight upon the Intimate relations be tween Germany and Great Britain. Hcrr Arendt , one of the leaders of the bimetallic party , referring to the downfall of Lard Rosebery , writes that the cViange of govern ment In Great Britain will doubtless result In a new national monetary conference. diva Up Their heals of O/llcc.

NEW YORK , Juno 29. Thomas Estrada Palma , recognized as president of the re public of Cuba , by virtue of having held that offlce when the revolution of 1868-78 col- lapsed , Is In the city. He came from Cen tral Valley , this state , where for many years he has been conducting an Institution of learning for South and Central American and West Indian youth. The avowed object of his visit was to pay his respects to Mrs. Marti , the widow of the Cuban leader. Mr. Palma spent several hours at Editor Tujlllo's ' home , where Mrs. Marti is a guest. He said that the call was purely social and that on account of Mrs. Marti. As to a sue- cessor , ho said that his age precluded his being a candidate for any position In the councils of the party requiring activity , but | that he was at the service of his native Isle and ready at any moment to do her bidding. As Martl's successor his duties will not necessarily call him to Cuba. They will be almost entirely of a diplomatic nature and will entail upon him a general oversight of the Interests of the revolution everywhere. The extensive traveling that Marti used to do It Is thought will bei delegated to young men. Among those mogt prominently men tioned In this connection are Gonzalo de Quesada and Jose Manuel de Cespedos. They are both thoroughly acquainted with the ter- rltoy that Martt used to cover , having gone over It with and for him. After calling on Mrs. Marti , Palma con ferred with a number of the members of the revolutionary juta , among them the redoubt able General Rafael de Quesada. COLLiAl'SB Or AUTOIsOMIST FARTX Cubans Now United In nn ICfTort to Secure Independence. ( Copyrighted , 1805 , ty Tress 1'uWshlnR Company. ) HAVANA , Cuba , Juno 29. ( New York World Correspondence Special Telegram. ) The collate of the autonomist party Is ab sorbing attention of Cubans here. The party was formed at the end of the first revolu i- tion In 1878 to protect the rights of Cubans and struggle for a separate form of govern ment eventually. Spain promised satisfactory things. The Cubans thought that the good * Intentions of Spain , aided by perseverance and good work on their side , would In the course ot tlmo bring some liberties that would lead to an Independent government later on. At first they labored In good faith , but finding all efforts unsucstful their ' courage began to fall. Today , after fourteen years , the elected leofflcsrs of the party stand alone like an army 16without solOlcrs. At the outbreak of war Spain promised to reform her laws and gov ernment of Cuba. The reform was finally submitted to a vote at Madrid last March and was actually approved by the majority of ministers , who acknowledged the necessity of granting Cuba some concession. ! or losing her forever. The Spaniards here ere patiently waiting for reform promises to become a fact. The Cubans , tired of promises , continue to fight , and what wis only an unimportant disturb ance of the peace at the beginning has be come organized. If Spain bad put the prom ised reform Into effect Immediately after It was voted It would have equelched the re volt , but after four months Spain has not taken a ctcp In that direction. That Is the principal reason the revolution thrives. ilovrniants of Orrnn Mimmjli'p ' * .lime 311. At Bremen Arrived Braunschweig , from New York.

"Tim Clyde fortnight" of yacht racing opened today , day with the regatta of the Royal Northern Yacht club. The weather was dull and warm , and a light southern breeze was blowing. Enormous crowds of people assembled at an early hour In order to witness the first race of Valkyrlo HI , Lord Dtmravcn's syndl- cite yacht , which Is looked upon as almost certain to cross the ocean and race for Amor- lea's cup. Exurslon steamers brought thou sands of visitors from Glasgow and all parts of Scotland , all anxious to see how the now Valkyrie would shape In a race against Allsa and Britannia. The racing program for today comprised eleven contests , but the Interest centered ; J21 In the race for the big yachts , these ex ceeding 40-iatlng and for 10 and 20-ratorsi The course for the big yachts today Is a total t distance ot fifty miles. The first prize ) Is 7C and the second 25. The course for the yachts above 10 and not exceeding 20- rating ' Is a total of thirty-one miles , and for these not exceeding 10-ratlng the course la twenty-six ' miles long. For yachts above 20 and not cxceed'ng 40-ratlng the course Is a distance of thirty-eight miles. Valkyrlo lit Is rated at 185 , and gives Allsa , which Is estimated to rate ICO , two minutes and flfty- nlno seconds. Britannia , rated at 153 , gets an allowance of four minutes and two seconds. Niagara competes against the 20-raters , 2ln Ita and Dakotah , whoso topmast has been lengthened In order to bring her up to 11-rati , Ing. The latter gets twelve minutes and fifty-two seconds allowance from Niagara over the thirty-one mlle course. When the gun was fired at 10:30 : a. m. Allsa was pointing direct for the line and wont over first. Valkyrlo III was well han dled , and before halt a mlle ot the course had been csvcred .she took , the load , 'with. ' Britannia close behind her and Allxa a , long distance astorn. The yachts , however , were merely drifting. The yachts competing In the 20-ratlng class were /tarted at 11:10 : a. m. In a shower of rain. lv\ \ BRITANNIA WON HERE. There was much excitement when Valkyrlfll III , just as she was entering Larga bay , got rather near the shore , lost the wind and became completely becalmed. Allsa and Britannia , standing mcro cut In the t channel , got a llttlo breeze and gradu ally drew up and passed Valkyrie , with' Britannia about halt a mlle astern. But Allsa did not succeed In passing ( ho mark boat ahead of Valkyrie , as she got too far to lee- , ward. Valkyrie , still standing In , got the breeze and rounded the mark boat before Allsa and Britannia , which two yachts were virtually becalmed. Valkyrlo kept on with' the assistance of a fair wind and left the _ others far behind , and at 2 p. m. was nearly ? a mile ahead and making for the Skclmorllo mark boat , which she passed at 3:21:33. : : Allsa and Britannia were a mile astern. Valkyrlo maintained her lead easily on the second round. The breeze was fresher and the new yacht showed good speed. The race for the 20-raters was stopped at the end of the first round , and Niagara was declared winner. The following were the times at the end ot the first round : Niagara , 4:27:38 : : ; Zlnita , 4:33:35 : : ; Daltotah , 4:35:22. : : Britannia crept up while Valkyrie III was becalmed and eventually only a few lengths separated them. But Valkyrlo crept along and there was hardly a breath of air blowIng - Ing as she crossed the finish lino. The fol lowing were the times of the two yachts at the finish : Valkyrlo HI. 7:37:30 : : ; Britannia , ' 7:39:16. : : Although Valkyrlo crossed the line * one minute and forty-six seconds ahead ot Britannia , the latter won the race , as she has a time allowance of four minutes and two seconds. Consequently the prince ot Wales , * yacht won by two minutes twelve seconds. , BRITANNIA HAD THE LUCK , jBritannia had extraordinary luck In bring * Ing up In the wind at the end of the race , iwhile Valkyrie lay becalmed. The crowd of spectators- could hardly believe their eyea itoday when they witnessed the result. Tha race was sailed In the worst possible Clyde weather. Valkyrie , at the beginning of the race , showed astounding form. In the three , mile heat the breeze was light , partial and patchy , but coon a gathering wind tet la and Valkyrie stepped out In wonderful style. She quickly had her opponents under her lee. After going a couple miles a heavy equally , wind and rain caught Valkyrlo first , aud , though she curled up , she traveled at n great pace. Valkyrie's performance certainly justi fied the opinion that she will prove unusually taut In light weather. There It no doubt that she Is far and away a better boat than , the Britannia , but their merit ? can only bo determined by a really reliable trial In a , steady breeze. The correspondent ot the Associated press saw Captain Slcamore aboard Valkyrie after the race. He , with Captain Cranfield , will sail Valkyrlo against Defender. He said ; "I am entirely satisfied with. Valkyrlo. Bhe behaved simply splendidly. The mere chance that gave the rare to Britannia In of umall Importance. Dtfender will need to be much better than Vigilant , else America cannot retain the cup. " GOULD ON THE SPORT. The reporter of the Associated pretg saw Mr , Howard Gould on board Niagara juit before she started toJay. Mr. Gould said that although the last few races In which hli yacht had competed were only walk- ovcri , yet he anticipated good iport during the racing on the Clyde. Ho added that ha had come here especially to meet Lordj'.ons- dale' * new 20-ratdr , Eucharli. which wilt race for the first time on Monday. She | i reported to be a great Improvement on the other Kngltab 20-raters , and It will bo n feather In the Hereihoff cap * If Niagara prove ! herself to be a better
