( Copyright , ISM , by Prepi I'uMlBlitnff Company. ) LONDON , Sept. 28. ( Now York AVorld Ca. Mrgram Special Telegram. ) The very un pleasant scandal concerning the surreptitious survey of Howard Gould's Niagara by the committee of the Yacht Racing association last spring will bo revived this week by the publication of a letter from Howard Gould to the council ot the association , In -which It Is undcrstoood that yachtsman will comment In severe terms upon the action of the association. All the facts In the case will bo for the first time set forth. Many of the facts Involved have been here tofore given In the AVorld's cables , but from the beginning the utmost reticence has been maintained In official yachting circles con cerning the episode. It has never , Indeed , bi.cn oven alluded to In the dally English press , and the yachting papers have treated It very gingerly. AVhcn the letter and the correspondence between Mr. Gould and the committee , ore given to the public , which will bo tomorrow , It Is understood the con troversy Is certain to become bitter. ' The Yacht Racing association Is the court F/ f last appeal In the English yachting world. Lord Dunraveii was elected vice president In succession to the late Lord AVatcrford , just after the publication of his charges against Defender. The following Is is , statement of the facts of the Niagara In cldent so far as heretofore known. Imme dlately after the race of May 22 ot the Royal Thames Yacht club. In which Niagara was a competitor , a committee of three gentle men from the Yacht Racing association visited Niagara at her moorings and made an examination. The owner was not pres ent , but , according to the committee's re port , It was given ever facility by Captain Barr to make the Investigation. They made this visit , as they afterward wrote Mr. Gould , because a report was made to the council of the Yacht Racing association that the yacht Niagara was fitted with water tanks under the seats on each side ot the cabin , and that these tanks were connected by pipes , so as to make It possible by merely turning the cock to run Water from ono tank to the other , thus obtaining a shifting water ballast that might be ad vantageous under certain conditions. The committee added that the members ot the councjl did not wish to convey the Idea that they believed the tanks had been used tor the purposes Indicated , but , on the con trary , ' their impression was just the other rway. . ADDED INSULT TO INSULT. However , the council more or less politely requested Mr. Gould to take steps to make it Impracticable to run water from one tank to another , and thus place the matter be mi yond suspicion. Mr. Gould answered the council In n very tart letter. The action of the committee was condemned by the better clement ot the English sporting world. The yachting press designated the Investigation cs "an unfortunate affair. " U Is said Mr. Gould will maintain his efforts by correspondence to obtain from the association the names of the committee that visited his yacht , the names of those who lodged complaint about the tanks , and nil 'explanation' the demand for altera tion have been Ignored. He repudiates all possibility of unfair Intention or act on his part , and intimates that some ulterior mo- tlv6 must have Inspired the action ot the Association. He declares that International sport has received a severe blow. Ho sajs he has vainly waited until the end of the icason for some explanation. The tanks In question had a capacity of n twenty gallons each , and the association had twlco before measured and passed Niagara with the tanks placed exactly as nt the time ot the secret Investigation. Admiral Montague , the famous English yachtsman , wrote to the press nt the time a letter , In which ho said : "There must be others be tide myself who have read with amazement the report that the Yncht Racing associa tion thought It necessary to send repre sentatives post haste to board Niagara. They did not even wait to see the owner of Niagara , but surveyed the vessel In hh > absence. " SAYS TUB SIILT.YJf HAS PROMISED. Story of French I'rcxxiire Confirmed from Another Source.

LEADVILLE , Sept. 28.Vlth the camp practically under military rule and pickets stationed at various points over the large area It Is often difficult to obtain definite news of the skirmishes that occur nightly between the strikers and the soldiers. The shooting at the Ilonalr property , which created much excitement lost night , proved to be no more serious than a dozen other bloodless battles that have occurred. Four shots were first fired at a picket , who re turned the fire. Some of his comrades came to his aid and a dozen or so shots wcro ' exchanged without effect. The shooting J' ing J at the Bohn mine was done by a sentry because a man refused to obey the order to halt. Other shots heard during the night arc thought to have had a similar origin. All sorts of rumors arc In the air all the time. It was reported last night-that an other party of Missouri miners would arrive today , but this 13 positively denied by the mine managers. Among the citizens the engrossing topic today Is the probable action of the com mittee of five- appointed at the strikers' meeting Saturday evening to consider whether or not It would be best to continue their light or take measures toward reaching a pacific settlement. Very naturally many of the strikers are anxious to spread doubts about this action having been taken. Ono of their number confirmed It , however. In n conversation held with him. "What do you think the committee of five Is going to re port ? " hu was asked. "It's hard to tell , " ho replied. "Anyway the whole thing Is preliminary. " Despite the secretlvencss of the members of the union , reports of their doings become semi-public property. Those who are anx ious to return to work occasionally forget their pledges of secrecy regarding what Is going on within their ranks. From an authoritative , source It was learned that as the I committee created at Saturday's meeting now stands , two are In favor of advising an attempt to make terms of sur render , while three are In favor of con tinuing the strike In Its present quiescent vigor. Another still more significant Indication that n number of the strikers are wearying of Idleness came out at military head quarters. Several local members of the union , men who have for years been resi dents of Lfadville , called singly and privately on General Brooks. All of them wanted to assure him that they had no sympathy with the crimes that have been Incidental to the strike and would bo glad to have the matter over with. At least half a dozen of these unlocked for visitors pledged themselves definitely to the military commander that hereafter they would acquaint him with what Information they could obtain concernIng - Ing possible future outbreaks of lawless ness , giving him the names of men who proposed to takt part In such work , so he could make arrests beforehand. In sub stance these strikers agreed to play de tective on the violently Inclined members of the union , In order to save the district at large from further trouble and possibly bring the strike to an early end. Adjutant General Moses has had a con ference with Governor Mclntiro regarding an early settlement , but would not say any thing as to the result. "All that I can say now Is that there Is no Intention on the part of the state to withdraw even a portion of the troops. Everything is quiet today. The committee may come to some decision to night. " The statement that a committee of five was appointed by the Miners' union Saturday night to consider the question of declaring the strike oft has been both confirmed and denied by prominent members , but today Secretary Dewar declared positively that the strike will not bo declared oft unless the full demands of the union arc conceded. As Secretary Dewar Is understood to bo a mem ber of the committee , much Importance is credited to bis statement. The meeting of the Miners' ' union sched uled for tonight , at which It was understood the report of the committee to consider the question of abandoning the strike would be submitted , has been postponed till Wednes day night.

Whitney , formerly secretary if the navy , will bo married at noon tomorrow to Mrs. Edith S. Randolph , widow of 'the late ex- Captaln Arthur Randolph of Kast Court , Wiltshire , England. J This fact wan formalin announced tonight by Mr. Whitney's private secretary , T. J. Reagan , who received communication dur ing the day from Mr , Whitney , advising him of the prospective wedding. Society has been ' speculating on the event for some time , but not even the closest friends of Mr. Whitney had anticipated that the event would be soon. Mr. Whitney himself , when he loft the city two weeks ngo to recuperate , did not expect to bo married so soon. Ho accidentally met Mrs. Randolph nt Bar Har bor , and decided only last Thursday that the wedding should take place tomorrow. Mr. Whitney was 111 from n severe attack of rheumatism. and about ten days ago he telegraphed from Newport for a special car and massage attendant and proceeded at once to Bar Harbor. He rapidly regained his health and after meeting Mrs. Randolph they decided upon the date for the wedding. There nre several features which tend to cast a halo of romance over the mar riage , the courtship , the sudden engagement and hasty marriage. Mrs. Randolph Is an old friend of the Whitney family and has been Intimately associated with them for the past tc.t years. In the letter to his secretary , Mr. Whitney did not make anjr of the details of the wedding known. He simply stated that It will bo strictly private , not more than half a dozen of his most Intimate friends being present. None of the relatives of the contracting parties will be at Bar Harbor to witness the ceremony. Mr. Whitney's son , Harry Payne Whitney , with his hrlde , Is now on his honeymoon. The couple will start soon for Vancouver , where they will take the steamship Empress of India for Japan. His daughter , Mis. A. II. Paget , Is with her Husband spending the summer In the Adlronacks. A suggestion that there was any estrangement In the family on account of the wejdlng was de nied positively , as all the members of the family have been on the best of terms with the prospective bride. Mrs. Randolph's ' late husband was a captain In , the Fifteenth hussars , commonly cqllcd the "Queen's Own. " She was originally Miss Edith S. May , and Is a first cousin of Herman Ocl- rlchs , also to Mrs. Colonel William Jay of this city. She Is the mother of two children , the eldest 13 years old. Mr. Whitney's wife was Miss Flora Payne , daughter of the late United States Senator Henry H. Payne of Ohio. THOOPS ASSIGNED TO * STATIONS.
