A Year of Disasters. '
The latest cyclone on the Gulf Coast
bids fair to rival in destructive force
that which devastated the Sea Islands
of South Carolina a few weeks ago.
It is estimated that the loss of life will .
reach 1,000, but is yet the extent Of
damage of all kinds can only be guessed
at. The present will be a memorable
year by reason of disasters on sea and
land, including an appalling number
of railway wrecks with the slaughter of
more than a hundred passengers. The
year will also be sadly remembered as
one of unparalleled business depres-
sion and financial distress.
, To-Day’s Race.
The first race of the international
yacht contest is being sailed tO-day.
Every detail of preparation haS‘been
carefully completed, and both vessels
are at their best.~ The Valkyrie gets a
_ time allowance Of one minute and forty-
eight seconds, because the Vigilant is
longest on the water-line. As the wind
today is light, it is largely believed
. the chances favor the Vigilant, although
sailing experts say the British yacht is
a very dangerous craft to compete with
in any weather. .The start was from
the Sandy Hook Lightship, and the
course fifteen miles to windward and
return. ‘
From thirty to fifty thousand people,
it is claimed, are crowding New York
bay in every variety of craft, to witness
the first of the five exciting ocean strug-
gles which are to determine whether
the “America” Cup, held against all
comers for nearly half a century, is to
remain with us or be carried back to
England. The wish in every manly
,mind will be—may the best boat win.
Compromise Difficult.
The chance of silver repeal seems to
vary from day to day. Latest 'reports
indicate that Democratic compromisers
and silver men are not agreed on the
basis of compromise, and it is supposed
to be amatter of some importance that
President Cleveland does not assent to
proposals thus far made. If his own
party were able to obtain harmony" on
any settlement, Mr. Cleveland would
find it hard to place himself on the Re-
publican side. But it may be set down
'- as certain that no compromise will pre-
vail, unless by practical agreement of
the Democratic members. This means
that the republicansare not in favor Of
compromise. '
Major _ Carson, the Washington cor—
respondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger,
says there is the highest authority for
the statement that Mr.Cleveland is even
more firmly convinced now 'of the
soundness of the recommendations in
his message sent to Congress month be-
fore last than he was when he wrote it,
and that those who represent him as
favoring anything short of uncondi-
tional repeal are deceiving themselves
and others. The editor Of the Ledger,
who goes fishing and duck hunting with
‘ Mr. Cleveland in vacation,says that the
mojor’s testimony on this point may be
accepted as irrefutable and conclusive.
The Courant’s usually well informed
Washington correspondent, telegraphs
his paper that “if there is any danger
or probability ofcompromise, that dan-
ger proceeds frOm the democratic side
Of the Senate. There is no talk or
thought of compromise on the part Of
the republican senators. .
The reports. which democratic sena-
tors have recently been circulating to
the effect that there are twenty-five re-
publican senators prepared to vote for
compromise on the silver question, are
an invention of those who with to con-
ceal from the public the great apathy
Of democratic senators in the‘causo of
:" silver repeal.
The reason why there is danger of. a
compromise,is due to the fact that there
are not more than ten democratic sena-
tors who are sincerely in favor of im-
conditional repeal. The rest of the
democratic senators, who pretend to fa-
vor the pending bill, are playing apart
to deceive the president and win the
approval of a part of their constituents
and are seeking-and advising a compro-
mise. .
The talk of a compromise in the Sen-
ate' originates in, the desire of demo-
cratic senators, to be relieved from a
position unpleasant to them personally
and politically, and also to save their
party at home from destruction. The
democrats generally believe that, if the
; unconditional repeal bill passes the Sen-
ate, and is approved by the presiclent,'.
the democratic party will be hopelessly
divided. There is practically a una-
nimity of sentiment upon that subject
among democrats of all shades of Opin-
ion upon' the silver question, although
.there probably would be few of them
willing to avow this.”
Senator Butler, silver democrat, Of
South Carolin, defiantly declared yes-
terday that the silver minority in the
Senate would not be dictated to.

Vigilant and Valkyrie in
Perfect Condition.
Valkyrie Has a Trifling Advantage in
Time Allowance—Both Confident
'of Success—Betting Slightly in
Favor of the American Boat.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5. ——The first of a seri es
of best three in five races for the queen’s
cup, more commonly called the “Ameri-
ca’s,” is scheduled for today. It will be
between the American centre-board yacht
Vigilant and the English keel yacht Val-
kyrie. It will be over 'a course 15 miles
to windward or leeward, as the case may
be, and return, and the start will proba-
bly be from an, imaginary line between
the Sandy Hook lightship and the steam
yacht May.
The cup will be the ostensible prize of
the victor, but the real prize will be the
fact that the maker of the victor will
have the credit of Supremacy over all
others in naval architecture. The official
measurements of the yachts show that the
Vigilant will have to give the Valkyrie a
time allowance of- one minute and forty-
eight seconds. This is a heavy handicap.
There is more excitement over this race
than over any of its predecessors, and
blow high or low it will be, witnessed by
thousands of people. At least a hundred
large sea—going excursion steamers and
tugs will convey sight— seers over the course,
and there will be dozens of steam yachts
and sailing craft preSent carrying their
owners and friends. Should the Vigilant
pass the finish line one minute and fort y-
nine seconds faster than the Valkyrie the
solute she will receive from the steam
whistles and cannons of the excursion
fleet will give the Britishers a pretty good
idea. of American enthusiasm. ’
The general opinion last night was that
the Vlgilant would win the series of races,
but every one seemed to have an immense
respect for the prowess of the Valkyrie,
and it was freely admitted that she would
give the Vigilant a. tussle. » .
In fact the Valkyrie is regarded b
yachtsmen much as the Thistle was before
her races with the Volunteer. She is held
to be too formidable an antagonist to treat
lightly, or to bet against rashly.
What betting there was was in favor of
the Vigilant, and~ considerable Vigilaut
money was covered. The prevailing Odds
were 5 to 4 in favor of the Vigilant.
Lord Dunraveu told a friend that he
could see no improvement that could be
made in the Valkyrie. The owners of
Vigilant are equally confident that their
yacht represents the most perfect racing
machine which can be turned out,

Theatre last night and played it well.
All the parts were in capable hands,
and with the scenic surroundings it en-
joyed at the metropolitan production
the performance would have been quite
complete and satisying. As everybody
knows “The Senator” was created by
William H. Crane, who made it the
vehicle of his wholesome personality
for two full seasons at one theatre in
New York. Mr. Louis Aldrichplayed
the part here, and it was interesting to
note that he gave it in many ways an
interpretation of his own. Crane made
the senator a cool, shrewd man of the
world, who .never_lost his head ,or his
grip ; Aldrich gives him a breezy
western flavor—3a big man, with a big
heart and a big laugh—Enterprise.

They Were Handed to the Select-
men ‘of Stamford and Darien.
The Stamford Advocate says that yes-
terday two petitions were filed with the
Selectmen of Stamford, and one with
the Selectmen of Darien, in connection
With the proposition to extend the
tracks of the Stamford Street Railway
Company and to adopt electricity as a
motive power.
There are two petitions addressed to
the Stamford Selectmen—mus to lay
additional tracks and the other to adopt
electricity. Over most Of the route
from present east terminus of the line
to the N oroton River the tracks would
run at the side of the road, and outside
,the travelled part Of the highway. The
application to lay additional track gives
{he followmg route and other particu~
ars :
f‘Commencing at the foot Of Noroton
Hill, in said Stamford, at the terminus
of its existing track, thence proceeding
easterly along and upon the south side
of the Connecticut turnpike, so called,
to the line dividing the said town of
Stamford from the town of Darien,
said track to be laid on the existing
grade Of said highway or on the grade
to be designated and fixed by said Se-'
lectmen. -
“The kind and quality of track to be
used will be a tee rail of steel laid on
cross ties. _The motive power proposed
to be used in propelling its cars will be
electricity, called the ‘trolley wire.’ ”
The second application to the Select-
men of Stamford describes the lines Of
railroad now operated by the company
outside of the limits of the former bor-
ough.
In the application filed with the Sc-
lectmen of Darien, the company repre-
sents “that by its charter it is author-
ized, and hereby makes application, to
lay an additional track in the town of
Darien as follows: Commencing at the
intersection Of the Connecticut turn-
pike, so called, with the line dividing
the said town of Darien from the town
of Stamford, thence proceeding easter-
ly. along and. upon the south side of
said Connecticut turnpike to the turn
towards the north of said highway at a
paint situated a short distance east of
