The American Yacht Club Regatta.
Larchmont, N. Y.,July 15.—The third
annual regatta of the American yacht
club, which is composed exclusively of
steam yachts, takes place today. A stiff
wind blew from the southwest all night
and this morning was choppy and ugly.
The first point to be touched is New London,
a distance of eighty knots from
here. The yachts are divided into three
classes: Those exceeding 150 feet in
length on water lines; those between 85
and 150 feet and those between
50 ancl 85 feet. A
pri^e cup is offered each class. TomorjJrere
will be a race for yachts and
plies under fifty feet on water line
New London to Shelter Island.
Secretary Thomas Manning offers two
cups for this event, dividing the classes
into tubular boilers and other boilers.
The preparatory signal for third class
steamers was sounded from the flag ship
“Lagonda” at 8:25 a. m.,#Ten minutes
later the staiting signal wns given and
the three yachts flew across the line. They
were T. L. Osgood’s ‘"Nereid;” J.
Brandith’s “Camilla,” and John P. Kenedy’s
“Vida.” They got away in the
order named, the “Nereid” having an,
advantage of over a half mile. The“Camilla”
and “Viola” were close together,
but, as they Dassed out of sight up the
sound, the “Camilla” seemed to be gaining
on the “Viola.”
Henry Ward Beechers’s Views on the British Sitnation.
London, July 15.—The Daily News
this morning prints an interview with
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in which he
remarked upon the quiet and orderly
character of English elections as compared
with elections in America. Regarding
the political battle he said from
an American standpoint: “The question
at issue is as simple as A, B, C, but when
we come here we find details rather than
principles separating the great
leaders. While in the first
instance our whole thought goes
with Gladstone, yet when we read the
arguments of others we must admit our
inability to meet them. We are puzzled,
but on the details, not on general
schemes at all.” Mr. Beecher objected
to the English papers treating American
interest in the Irish question as an intru
sion. He earnestly maintained that
Americans had no such intemtion ; theiris
wasa nonpartisan, kindly interest in the
solution of the differences between Great
Britain and Ireland, and belongs to the
region of sympathetic interest.
The Convict Strike in Georgia Ended.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 15.—The
trouble among the convicts in Dade
mines, at Coal City., Ga., ended last night
by the surrender of the mutineers and
their return to work. Two day’s thirst
and starvation brought them around.
The following dispatch, received by
Governor McDaniel from the principal
keeper of the penitentiary, explains the
present situation. “Coal City, Ga., July
15.—The mutiny is over. Iam taking
convicts out of the 'stockade as fast as
irons can be put on them. All the leadejs
are out but one, who says he will not
go out alive, but I have no fears of him
as they are all coming out as called.
Glad we did not have to kill any. This
ends one of the most remarkable strikes
on.record, and what might have been a
cause of serious difficulty and loss of
life.”
gyle and Mr. Goschen have given their
adherence to Lord Salisbury’s programme
and are willing to enter his cabnet
provided the moderate liberals secure
a fair share of officers. Lord Hartington’s
hesitancy to accept office in a
conservative cabinet is due to the fact
that he will risk his political future if he
joins Salisbury and be excommunicated
by the liberals, as he can never thereafter
succeed Gladstone in the liberal
leadership. While remaining independent
he can resume his place in the liboral
ranks when the Irish question is
settled.
Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone arrived in
London last evening. They were driven
to their residence in an open carriage.
Crowds of people pressed around the
carriage to shake hands .with the pre
mier. Mingled cheer^,and groans wer^
frequently uttered by the multituf’~”
Gladstone is in excellent health; 1 T
Gladstonians have gained the Otfcy
vision of Yorkshire.
' Policy of the Premier.
London, July 15.—Some of Glad
Stone’s most intimate advisers are in favor
of meeting parliament with a resolution
affirming the principle of a statutory
parliament in Ireland. This would be, a
constitutional method .of inviting the
house to show by its vote what the wrdiet
of the country is.,. Upward of a
score of unionist members.are pledged to
this solution of the Irish problem, and it
is supposed that most of'these would
find themselves obliged to vote for ’the
resolution, thus giving Gladstone a majbrily
in the new parliament at thef out"1 teji
set of its career. The whig, and toiy* ’
managers ridicule the prouwal. In'conservative
quarters it is swted that .very
little doubt exists that Lord Salisbury
will be sent for to form a cabinet.

lOff for a Tour in Canada.
Omaha, Neb., July 15.—The Dundy
County Bank, of Ilerkelman, Nebraska,
failed yesterday. Belser, the president
skipped to Canada and took with him
about $100,000 in funds and securities.
Business men and farmers feel the loss
greatly, as many lost the last dollar they
had on earth. Several homesteaders had
their little all in the bank and were to
prove up today. Many will have to
abandon their claims. The greatest excitement
prevails. Belser had transferred
all his available property to his
wife before leaving.

Kentucky Men Predict Cheap Whisky.
Chicago, July 15.—A large number of
Kentucky whisky men have been gath
ering here for the last few days. All 1883
goods will be out of bond next month,
and an advance in prices was expected,
but the Kentuckians say there will be a
break. The Chicago men say there is
little room for a break, but that the obstacle
to the advance is the excess of demand
of older goods, which are going at
a sacrifice.
Reuben Springer’s $278,000 Back Taxes.
Cincinnati, July 15.—It was discovered
today in the auditor’s office that
Reuben R. Springer’s estate had an entry
against it for back taxes since 1881
for an astounding amount. Personal
property amounting to $12,000,000 during
the past six years has escaped taxation.
An investigation of the matter has
been made. The total amount due the
treasury on returned property is $278,000,

A sanitarium at the foot of
,’street’. The sanitarium
ir^g'was a platform 150 feet long,
“dsby a roof supported on timbers,
aim wAs enclosed with canvas. The furnit
ure,'j consisted chiefly of rocking
chairs, baby swings and hammocks. On
holiday? mothers brought their children
to the place. The hail storm which
struck the city about 4 p.m. yesterday
was followed by a fierce wind, which
came from the lake, striking that portion
of the city between Twentyfourth an d
Twentyfifth streets. Mrs. Shaenman,
the matron, ordered everybody to run to
a little building at the north end of the
jong platform. They were hardly inside
when the gale struck the house and
nearly wrecked it. Mrs. Shaenman
broke open the door and window, and
she then forced everybody out into the
storm, telling them to take refuge in
houses near by. All found shelter. The
force ot the cyclone soon after broke the
roof and scattered it, and literally tore
the platform out of the ground.
St. Louis, July 15.—There is a strong
feeling at Butler, Mo., where John T.
Leabo is to be hanged on Friday, July
23d, that the condemned man is innocent.
He has had three jury trials, the
first resulting in conviction, which was
reversed by the supreme court; the second
resulted in mistrial, and the third in
conviction, which the court of last resort
recently affirmed. The prosecution
claimed that Leabo poisoned his wife
and threw her body into a well to escape
detection: while the defense held that
the woman administered the drug with
her own hand and jumped into the well
of her own accord. Leabo states his
wife had shown symptoms of insanity
some time before her death; becoming
enraged at trifling misfortunes, and repeatedly
threatened to commit suicide,
Early in the forenoon, on the day of her
death, he says, she awakened him and
complainnd of a severe headache, and he
tried to allay the pain, but she refused to
accept his assistance, and telling him to
take care of the baby, she went into the
next room. “I heard her moving around
for some time,” he says, “before I went
off into a doze. The baby commenced
crying, and 1 rose up and said: Ella,
come in'; baby wants you; she made no
answer, and as 1 failed to get a response,
I went to the door, but my
wife was gone. I hurried back
to the bedroom; wrapped up the
baby in a shawl, carried him to my
father’s house, and then stated on my
search. While at her mother’s house
found a note from my wife which said
‘I have taken laudanum. I am tired of
life and prefer death.’ In my excitement
I failed to presesve the note, and left it
at the house. If it could be found I
would be free.” A petition signed by
many prominent citizens has been pre
sented to the governor, and it is thought
he will order a stay of execution.

democratic members, a number of democrats
occupy seats on the republican side,
which is distasteful to them. Among
these gentlemen are Messrs. Bynum, of
Indiana, Townshend, of Illinois, and’
Wallace, of Louisiana. Within a short
time after the death of Cole was announced,
Mr. Bynum went in search of
Doorkeeper Donelson. On finding him,
he asked forthe vacant seat. The officer
expressed regret, saying he had just
promised it to Mr. Wallace. Later in
the day it occurred to Mr. Bynum to preempt
the seat of the next democratic
member who died. He again sought the
doorkeeper. The officer again expressed
regret, saying he would have to take the
seat of the second democratic member
who passed away, as Mr. Townshend had
just preempted the first vacant seat.

their kind favortism to me could be a
part of the causes for my action. On the
contraiy, I am sure they would appreciate
my motives if they understood the
necessities that impel me to this course.”
