The Vigilant and Valkyrie met in a race of fifteen miles to Windward and return, but the wind failed and‘ they could not finish within the six hour time limit. The Valkyrie got ahead of the Vigilant at the start, but the Yankee sloop soon overhauled and passed her and both vessels drifted aimlessly be- yond the time limit and the race was declared off, to be renewed to-morrow- The Fight Begun. Last night the democrats held the Senate in its promised struggle of phy- sical endurance. One of the incidents of the all night session was an attack on New England in general and Connecti- cut in particular, by Senator Allen, the Nebraska populist. Gen. Hawley was quick to resent this,but Allen continued his wind blowing. He kept on talking all night, having spoken from 5:15 last evening until 8 o’clock this Thursday morning. He kept his feet and wagged his jaws-fourteen and three quarter hours, breaking all previous Senate res cords. The Senate was still in session at our latest telegraphic report this noon. . ,»___- Cheap Money. Argentina is an object-lesson to our silver infiationists. They had plenty of silver “money” there several years ago. The “government’s stamp” was used under President Colman for all it was worth, and money became super- 'abundant. When it got to be suffi- ciently abundant “per capita” it began, unfortunately, to wobble. Then came a financial crash, and with the crash political disorders, riots, civil war and ceaseless crises. For some time the premium on gold has. been over 200, and the general distress brought about by a too free use of the “government stamp” made political discontent and revolution chronic. Adherence to a- sound money system in Argentina might have prevented all this civil disorder. The Chesapeake and Ohio Fleet. The six big freight vessels which the Chesapeake and Ohio Steamship Com- pany propose to run between Newport News and Liverpool are nearing com- pletion. One of them, the Rappalian- nock, a ship of nearly 7,000 tons, is fin- ished, and has taken on her cargo at. Newport News. This vessel and the Shenandoah and Kanawha, of the same line, were built at Glasgow; the other three, the Greenbrier, Appomattox, and Chickahominy, are being,r built at West Hartlepool, England. They are expected to cover the distance between Newport News and Liverpool in ten days. ‘ ' This outlet for the shipment of cat- tle, tobacco, and other products from Virginia and the West has long been desired by the Chesapeake and Ohio and felt to be necessary to the perfec- tion of its transportation facilities. The putting on of a fleet of fast freight steamers is a practical extension of its line from the United States to Europe. It is also destined to have an import- ant bearing upon the growth and de- velopment of Newport News as a great sea-port. ' All this marvelous creation has been inspired and wrought out to completion by an erst Connecticut boy, C. P. Huntington, who earned his first dollar laying stone wall at forty cents a rod, on the bleak and chilly hills of Harwinton, in old Lichfield county. It is to such typical Connecticut men as Huntington, that the world owes much of its greatest development and pro-. gross. ‘ Our Day at the Fair. Yesterday was Connecticut day at the World’s Fair. The day opened clear and beautiful, and a large crowd was in attendance. Gov. Morris and a large crowd of prominent citizens of our State took part in the interesting ex- ercises incident to the occasion, several from Norwalk being of the number. The little Nutmeg State had good cause to be proud of her day at the Fair. The Governor and Senator D. M. Bead addressed the assembled multitude. of the sons and daughters of Connecticut at our State Building. ’ Speaking of} the Connecticut Build- ing there, Senator Read said: "‘A commission of 32 members, 16 1a- dies and 16 gentlemen was appointed and from their number an executivé and building committee. A design sub- . mitted by Mr. Warren H. Briggs, of Bridgeport, after the colonial style of architecture,was selected, as best repre- senting sturdy Connecticut. Its fur- nishings are in perfect harmony, such as the Pilgrim Fathers would enjoy. u r Our building is not the largest, nor are our furnishings the most elaborate, but they represent Connecticut, and Within is a hearty Connecticut welcome to all her sons and daughters, and those of her sister States. Thousands of her bone and sinew have wandered away from home to develop the resources of the newer States. We bid you all wel- come to “ Our Miniature Home in the West.” The building was adorned with the flags of the Nation and State, as well as foreign flags, both inside and out. .At noon Gov. Morris, with his staff, sur- rounded the Columbian liberty bell, which was rung by his Excellency in honor of Connecticut’s admission to the Union in 1776. It is stated that at the close of the Fair Connecticut’s building is to be sold to a Connecticut resident of Chi- cago, who intends to keep it as a mu- 'seum and historical headquarters for our State. The house is noted as the best constructed at the White City, and can easily be removed. Its architect and builders are Connecticut men, and have received several orders in conse- quence of their attractive edifice,amoug which is the Tiffany Booth in the Arts building. ’ In the evening Senator dressed the Chicago Boy’s Club, at which he said : g “This work was practically begun in organized form at Bridgeport, January 21, 1888, with 177 boys enrolled the first night. Other clubs soon formed, and the work has progressed steadily from that time until to-day. Although the public is not yet awakened to the great benefit such work is to a commun- ity, we make this showing : Clubs in operation J an, 31, ’93, 10.

Carroll, both of Greenwich, which was to take place in St. Mary’s church in the latter town at 4:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. It was to be one of the swellestwed- dings of the season in_ Greenwich. There was to be a big reception in the, evening at the home of the bride’s par- ents, who are well-to-do people. Miss Mongon is a popular Greenwich belle, accomplished and good-looking. - Wednesday morning it was announc- ed that the wedding,was indefinitely postponed, says the Advocate. The news surprised friends of the parties who could hardly believe that a change of arrangements would be made at the “eleventh hour,” so to speak. The news was soon confirmed, however, by persons in a position to know. It has been rumored ever since the engagement was made public that the parents of Miss Mongon were opposed to the match owing to dislike of the Doctor, who has, it is said, been accus- tomed at times to manifest too strong a liking for intoxicants, Wednesday afternoon Mr. Mongon wasin Stam- ford, and made inquiries about the Doctor from acquaintances in this town which apparently were not satisfactory. Dr. Carroll is comparatively a young His diploma is from the Indian- apolis Medical College. He has,'it is said, practiced in Derby, Norwalk and Flatbush, L. I. Several months ago he paid a visit to Stamford. He was looking about for a place to establish himself in regular practice. An oppor- tunity presented itself in Greenwich, and recent reports from that town were to the effect that hewas doing well having built up a large practice and having been appointed a town physi- cian. Mr. Mongon wrote a letter to, each person who had been invited to the wedding, announcing that it was indefi- nitely posponed. The wedding pres- ents were returned. to those from whom they had been received. .0. USE DANA’S SABSAPARILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES.” , Lecture.

Life is too short and cares too numer- ous for us to stay home and ponder over our financial troubles on the night that lighthearted Gus Williams is with us. We say “light-hearted Gus Wil- liams” for we cannot suppose that a man who so successfuly drives away the blues from the feminine heart, and the “V—cut” from the bread-winner’s brow can be aught else than/light- hearted. As it is more blessed to give than receive, Gus Williams should be thrice blessed, as he carries. his sun- shine along the theatrical galaxy. He not only cheers us for the night he is with us but for many a following night, when our busy brains turn back upon the memory wheel to catch up the refrain of a song which the singer left in our hearts as he passed on. To say that Gus will be with us on next Monday night should be sufficient to crowd Music Hall. MUSIC HALL. Of the play to be presented at Music Hall to-morrow evening, the Stamford Advocate says: ' , "Hands Across the Sea” delighted one of the largest audiences of the sea- son at the Town Hall last night. The audience became interested at once on the rise of the curtain and followed with rapt attention and loudly applaud- ed each of the many thrilling episodes and scenic effects. The cast comprised a large number of actors and actresses, each one of which played his or her part in a first-class manner. I‘hey re- ceived a call before the curtain at the end of the fourth act. The drilling of the company of colored boys between the-first and second acts was probably the finest ever seen in Stamford. They executed many intricate and difficult evolutions in a manner that would have done credit to a company of military men. The bayonet drill especially elicited storms of applause from the audience.

John Cunninghamt recently dis- charged from jail, writes a long letter to the Post in which he says : “They take a man that is just brought up there and put him in a cell that an- other one has been infer probably six months without changing his clothing, and the cell is full of bedbugs and ver- min of every description. They never clean the beds out before putting him in there. It takes only one night in there for a man that is clean to be full of vermin. They do not even give a man a piece of soap or a towel to wash his face or hands. The ticking that is on the beds is as black as coal and has been on there since the jail has been built and if you kick about it they will tell you that you have no business to get up there. If a man'staid six months in the cell on lower tier he would be crippled with the rheumatism. This is in the old part of the Jail where I was for five days before my fine was paid. I do not know anything about the new part because they are separate. I would not do one month .up there now if a man gave me a thousand dollars and I have not ten dollars. I was in cell N o. 11, lower' "tier, in the old department. There are plenty more up there that will tell you the same thing, if they were asked.

Valkyrie Leads at First But is Oven- taken by Vigilant—Excelleiit Work by the Englishman—Next Race to bc Sailed on Friday. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. ——It was no man’s race yesterday. The Vigilant and Valky- rie tried hard to settle the international question as to which is the queen yacht of the world, but after alternate spells of racing, drifting and waiting for wind, they gave up the contest at the expira- tion of the time limit. It was long after dark when the yachts abandoned the drifting match off Highland beach and hailed their tugs. They Were fully seven miles from the finish and they had been sailing for six hours. The peerless white cup defender Vigilant had turned the outer mark seven minutes ahead of the English cutter, and was leading by about half a mile when the time expired. The fortunes of each had varied during the day, and the British boat had the best of it during the first part of the race. The day promised well in the morning. There Was a good breeze from the north-» west, and the weather sharps said there would be a rattling wind outside of Sandy Hook. The race was to be 15 miles to windward or leeward and return. It was the third in the series, and if won by the Vigilnnt the America’s cup would be a Yankee trophy of prowess on the water for another year. The usual crowd of yachts- men, who would not miss a race for a farm, were on hand, as also were the patriotic landsmen who neglect business and rise certain personal discomforts inci- dent to a day on the rolling deep in order to see John Bull’s crack yacht defeated. The steamboats, big and small, and the yachts and tugs with private parties, steamed down the buy, as they had done on each of the preceding racing days. A Late Start. The wind of the early morning did not hold and when all the fleet had assembled ready for the start the two racers _with their pyramids ofnvhite canvass gleaming in the sun lay becalmed. By mutual con~ until later in the day. For two hours the yachts lay idly flapping their sails or slowly gliding about among 'the excursion steam~ ers. Then when the regatta committee asked if they would consent to a postpone- ment for the day, the people on the Amer- can sloop answered promptly in the affirm- ative, but Lord Dunravcn hesitated, and the Wind freshening a. bit, he asked for a race. The boats were started on a. beat to» windward and return at 1:45 p. m. in a light south by west. The Valkyrie got an advantage of one minute crossing the line. She had the windward position as well as the lead. Both boats were under the same canvass except that the Vigilant had up a baby jibtopsail which was much smaller than the one the English yacht carried. The British boat pointed higher and footed faster in the light air that was stirring. For an hour she held the lead and worked to windward of the white sloop. The two racers made a pretty picture as they worked in toward that part of the Jersey coast midway between Sandy Hook and Long Branch. A Tame Finish. Lord Dunraven led his opponent in close to the shore and then made a. num- ber of short tacks, for which the black cutter is famous. The people .on the Vigi- lant kept up a stern chase without lessen- ing the gap until after racing nearly thre 8 hours with small jibtopsail up she took it in and ran up a larger' one. Then she began to pick up. Half an hour after she made the change in sails she had cut down the lead of the black cutter and crossed the bow of the latter to the music or a hundred whistles from the fleet of escort. From that time on the gallant cup de- fender led. When the sun went down be- hind the Seabright sand dunes and left the yachts working slowly toward the turning mark the accompanying steamers began to drop out of the line which they had formed at a respectful distance to leeward of the racers, and started for home. Most of the steamers remained until the Vigi- lant turned the flag buoy at 6:07 p. in. with the Valkyrie seven minutes behind her.‘ Then all of the fleet except the two tugs which acted as tenders to the yachts and half a dozen press boats deserted the racers. Seeing a yacht race after dark was a novel experience to New Yorkers, and they did not like it. The run back to the city was made-without the satisfaction of having seen a finished race, but the patriotic Americans who went out to shout for the Vigilant, were cheered by the thought that she was- leading when the time limit ended the drifting match. Good “’ork by Valkyrie. The race, though unsatisfactory as to the result, was stubbornly contested, and the windward work done by the English cutter during the first half was the finest ever seen in this country. It showed plainly that in very light airs, the Valkyrie is a. dangerous competitor, and had she not tacked inshore - and lost the breeze would undoubtedly have beaten the Vigi- lant around the first mark.

Haggard relates that Lobengula, for an inoli‘ensivo remark about being a preten- der to his throne, had a British captain, Patterson by name, and a sergeant sent to ..' his camp on a. mission by Sir Battle Frere in 1878, and had them foully murdered on their return journey, together with a. youth named Thomas, whom they had on- gaged from Lobengula’s own camp. The government never avenged their deaths. He, Haggard, proved the murders and describes them in detail. “Some of the stories told of Lobengula,” he says, “are too devilish for print. If innocent blood cried to heaven for vengeance, it cries against Lobengula.” Haggard urges the the government, even at some cost, to re- tain Bechuanaland and Mashonaland.
