According to Cable'dcspatches from ,
Cowes the Vigilant may not meet her
rival again until Thursday. Neither
the Britannia nor the Satanita will sail
in to-day’s race at Cowes. The lead
keel of the Vigilant was slightly dam-
aged i he she touched bottom during
Monday’s race and the yacht will be
docked for repairs. The Britannia was
also slightly injured by the same cause.
The Cause of it.
It is surmised by many that the frac-
ture of the City of Albany’s shaft was
caused by the extra strain in forcing
her over the mud of our badly filled up
harbor channel at low tide yesterday
morning. In this connection it will be
good news to know that Senators Platt
and Frye have been able to retain the
$15,000'ap'propriation for improving our ’
harbor, in the River and Harbor bill as
it passed the conference committee.
Theft of Bicycles.
The papers of the country, and not-
ably the'Tribune, are calling attention
to the fact that few kinds of portable
property can be made away with more
easily than a bicycle, and when once
stolen it is almost impossible to recog-
nize and identify it. Bicycles are fre-
quently left standing unguarded by the
eurbstone, especially in small cities
and suburban towns, and it is not sur- .
prising that they are now and then
seized by thieves, who can mount and
quickly ride out. Of__the owner’s sight
and reach. But- it is surprising to be
told that a regular business of bicycle
stealing is Carried on, and that an es-
tablishment inChicago deals exclusive-
ly in stolen machines. According to
tie diSpatch containing this inform-
a‘ion, the practice is to remove the
numbers of the. bicycles and the manu-
facturers’ names, and in some cases
parts of various machines are inter-
changed, so as utterly to destroy the
identity’ of the bicycles subjected to
this process. The concern carrying on
this business is said to have agents in
all parts of the country, and to have
played the part of a “fence” on a large
scale. Of course it is for the police
,and the criminal courts to deal with the
thieves and their abettors, but'the own-
ers of bicycles can guard against loss
by never leaving their machines un-
guarded in a public or semi-public
place. Even securing them with a
chain and lock does not always prove
effective. against a determined thief.
Cahdidates Afield.
The New Haven Leader devotes six
columns of its valuable space in an en-
thusiastic presentation of the name of
John 'A. Porter, editor of the Hartford
Post as a specially fitting republican
candidate for Governor in the coming
fall election. .The article is an excep-
tionally good one and as the GAZETTE
is always partial to the newspaper guild,
this paper' would naturally favor so
able and energetic a young candidate
in his laudable aspirations, were it not
running on strictly non-partisan lines
and for the still more deterrent reason,
that the Leader utterly kills all the
good things it truly says in Porter’s be-
half, by printing an inexcusably horrid
picture of its candidate. Our friend
Porter is an unusually good looking as
well as_bri_lliant man and it’s an out-
rage to palm off a coarse wood cut of
the lust caught burglar, as his likeness.
Mr. Porter is really a very promising
young republican and has a good deal
of “get there” in his nature. If nomi-
\nated for Governor he will not only
make it pleasant but quite exhilarating
for his democratic antagonist whoever
he may be. '
The.GAZETTE is also informed that
General Merwin would again consent
to having his friends present his name
to the republican gubernatorial conven-
tion if it becomes necessary for peace
in the family or to ensure the success
of the ticket. There are several other
worthy sons of Connecticut reported to
hive the Governor bee buzzing in their
bonnets in a lively wayywith Merwin
and Porter in the lead. So far as Fair-
-field county is concerned, as “Sam”
Fessenden could not be captured by a
hook baited with a United States Sena-
torship, because it would keep him so
much from home, lots of people down
this way would be glad to see him run
. and-win in the race for Governor.

successful candidate. This rule, if ad-
hered to now, would give Em. John
H. Ferris a-renomination. If it is not
to be observed, Mayor Keeler’s light-
ning rod is unquestionably uphighest.

Diphtheria Germs ln Cheese.
Assistant Chemist ‘Beebe, of the di-
~vision of bacteriology of the New York
Health department, has made a report
to Sanitary Superintendent Roberts, of
the examination made by him of speci-
mens of cheese seized last week by In-
spector Fuller, and which the State
Board” of Health reported contained
germs of diphtheria. Dr. Beebe found
the true bacillus of diphtheria in the
cheese. The cheese was made att e
dairyof the Star Creamery at Afton,
New York.
Fifty-one packages, each weighing
sixty pounds, were shipped to a- coal-
mission house in New York City.
The entire lot‘was seized by Inspector
Fuller. Dr. Roberts, after receiving
the report ofAssistant Chemist Beebe,
ordered all of it to be immediately de-
stroyed. This is the first time that the
germ of a contagious disease has been
found in cheese. Assistant Chemist
Beebe grew cultures from specimens of
the cheese and demonstrated that it
contained the true bacillus of diphthe-
ria. The germs were alive in the cheese.
In the case of the cheese from the
Star Creamery, the farmer who sup-
plied the milk to the dairy from which
the cheese was made had a fatal case of .
diphtheria in his family. He milked
the c‘oWs during the time that the dis-
case was prevalent, and in that way the
germs of the contagion were communi-
cated to the milk, and they lived in the
cheese after it had been manufactured.

The esteemed Sentinel had worse
luck than usual yesterday in cribbing
the GAZETTE’S items, ~‘-. exclusively ”
clipped by us, from the society column
of a New York paper. On Monday the
GAZETTE .gave this item : _
“Rev. Wilbur F. Watkins, essuitant
rector of Emanuel Protestant Episco-
pal church, Baltimore, and a brother of
Rev. S. H. Watkins, of Grace church,
this city, united in marriage last Wed-
nesday evening, in Baltimore, Miss
Kate Montague and William James,
two prc minent society people of Balti-
more and New York.”
Tuesday the Sentinel appropriated it,
with an accustomed change of phrase-
ology, but in doing so, made a bigamist
of the good Baltimore rector who has
been several years married and is the
father of a family, as follows:
“Rev. Wilbur F. Watkins, assistant
rector of the Emanuel Protestant Epis-
copal church, Baltimore, a brother of
Rev. S. H. Watkins, of Grace church,
was married last Wednesday to a prom-
inent young lady of that city.”

A Wall of Despair!
The public has become familiar with
the New York Sun’s hailing cries of
distress and its Macedonian appeals
for help, in the extremity of its parti-
san agony over the Tariff issue in
Congress. The trouble with the Sun is,
it is too‘ honest and too independent
fora party organ. It wants its party
to be decently consistent, patriotic and
honest, but it can’t coax or drive its
majorityin Congress into these straight-
forward ways. In a spirit of utter
despair, to-day it imploringly says:
“With the passage of a tarifl'bill on
the lines proposed, and the .failure to
sustain the one great principle upon
which the fight was made, Democratic
defeat is confessed andpr-oclalmed to
the world. .
“Is there not enoughgcncinc’Dcmo-
cratic partisanship left-n the organiza-
tion at Washington to grasp the party
by the hair of its head and. pull “out
of this pool of humfilx,_failtre,‘treach-
cry, and un-Americanisrn before its
head goes under for the last tame?”

Powder House Exploded.
.. A terrific explosion, which did exten-
sive damage in Hazardville,-Occur'red
Tuesday afternoon in one of the crack--
er mills belonging to the Hazard Pow-
der company in what is known as the
“hollow,” about a mile from thecenter
of the town. The concussion was felt
for several miles around, but so far as
can be learned none of the residents of
the place were injured except, George
Raiche, an employs of ’ the Hazard
Powder company, who was at work at-'
tending to the grinding of the powder,
who was blown to atoms.
It was feared that the flames would
spread to the other mills and more Vex-
plosions would follow, but among the
first on the scene after the explosion
was Superintendent Crickett. of the
Hazard company, who offered a reward
of $50 to any one who would venture
to extinguish the flames. Some one
whose name was not learned, rushed to
The unfortunate man’s head “was
found near the scene of the explosion,
while a part of his legs and arms were
picked up some distance from the pow’
der mill. The man’s trunk, which was
tore into shreds, was foundin the hol-
low. There were thirty barrels of the
explosive in the. shed, each. containing
about 100 pounds. All of this went up
in the explosion.

againstltrhelr miserable rum-s, and it was
reported that they were nfiching on the
capital, Seoul. China and Japan both
hastened. to send troops. China seems to

while Japan fears that the occupancy of

. Lennon, Aug. 8.—The 'Central News
'has thisdlspatch' from Shanghai concern-
ing-the action of Chinese soldiers in seiz-
ing Japanese subjects aboard- theBrltlsh
steamship Chung King last Week:
arrived in port today. The captain says
that While his ship was at Tungku, on the
gulf of Pe—chl-ll, Chinese soldiers came
aboard her with the avowed purpose of
seizing the Japanese passengers. They
found ‘60 Japanese, mostly women and
children, and at once began to hunt them
down.
“They pursued the Japanese all over
the vessel. bound them hand and foot as
soon as caught and (lung them over on
the Wharf; L1 Hung Chang, when in-
formed of: this violation of the Brltlsh
flag, commanded that the Japanese be re-
turned .at onee'to the Chung King, and
that the soldiers who made» the raid be
punished severely.” ‘,

man, who has, commanded the United
States cruiser Baltimore for the last two
years, returned here on two montlis’ leave
of- absence, having left the cruiser, at
Chemulpo, Korea, July 12. He regards
the oriental war as an ‘ unequal conte‘st,
with the odds greatly favoring Japan,
which, he says, has a gspl'e'ndid navy and
an army as well equipped as that of any
European country. Japan, he thinks, is
sure to win unless China is given time to
- make war preparations on a gigantic
scale. In his opinion, the J apaneso gov-
.ernment has been endeavorlng to force ,
the war in order to detract attention from
"its internalpolltical dissenslons.
