THE YACHT RACE. {American and English Contestants for the America’s Cup. ‘the water, the American yacht Vigilant and the British yacht Valkyrie were chosen as THE VIGILANT. :contestants in an international race for the {America’s cup. The Vigilant is owned by a syndicate of New York yachtsmen, and the Valkyrie by Lord Dunraven. Forty-two years ago the famous old schooner America won the cup that is now .the emblem of the yachting championship of ithe world. The cup is now held by the New York Yacht Club, and since the America’s 'victory has been successfully defended by ‘American yachts in sixteen races. The last race for the cup was in 1887, when the "Thistle, now called the Meteor, and owned by the Emperor of Germany, came over only ‘to be defeated by General Paine's yacht, the Volunteer, THE VALKYRIE. The much-coveted cup was originally offered as a prize for a race around the Isle of Wight, open to yachts of all Nations. The prize was offered by the Royal Yacht ‘Squadron. The cup is of solid silver. It is lewer-shaped and elaborately ornamented. It stands a little over two feet in height and weighs one hundred ounces. Around the centre, the broadest part, are medallions ‘bearing different inscriptions. The first reads as follows: * \ “One hundred guinea cup, won August 22 11851, at Cowes, England, by Yacht ‘America,’ jat Royal Yacht Squadron regatta, open to all {Nations, beating Beatrice, Volante, Arrow, or Se » p<: ey ?

INDIANA DAY AT THE FAIR. Ex-President Harrison Stops a Panic in the Indiana State Building, Indiana’s celebration at the world’s fair, Chicago, was nearly marred by a serious accident Wednesday afternoon and to the cool-headedness of "ex-president Harrison isdue in large measure the fact that it was averted. General Harrison's presence at the Indi- apa building drew a large number who were curious tosee him. When he had been speaking but a few minutes the people surged forward in their eagerness to hear his words, Suddenly there was a scream from a por- tion of the crowd, A panic was threatened. The ex-vresident realizing the danger, ceas- ed speaking and wilh pertect coolness urged the people to remain quiet, at the same time motioning them back. A fainting woman was assisted by General Harrison and Com- missioner Havento the platform, and the 2x-president mounted a chair so the people could see him and continued his speech. The crowd soon ceased struggling two other women who were on the point of fainting were carried out and cared for by ambul- ance surgeons and the panic which had threatened to assume serious proportions was over. In point of enthusiasm and possibly in numbers. Indiana can lay claim to the most successful state day at the Fair. When Governor Claude ;Matthews and staff, ex- President Benjamin Harrison, James Whit- comb Riley and others were escorted to the Indiana bui ding at 11 o'clock by Commis- sioners Havens. Studebaker and others, zuards were compelled to force bacz the sreat mass of humanity which was packed together in front ot the State building. General Lew Wellace and ex-Secretary of the Navy R. W. Thompson were to have made addresses but both were detained at ome. :Japan’s Awful Floods.

''WENTY-EIGH! DROWNED DEATH INSTANTANEOUS. An Awful Accidentin (he Lake Super- ior Mining Region. A mine casualty without parallel in tbe innals in the minin; industry in this eann- i «ry if notthe worid, occured at Mansfi «Id he only producer of Bessemer ore 1a the Crystal Falls mining district, and located six miles from Crystal Falls City, Mich., at J o'clock Friday night. The mine caved in from the top to the bottom, burying 28 workmen and entailing a loss of #6.0,000. The Mansfield shafts are located on the west bank of the Michigamme river and the working levels of the mine ran directly un- der the stream and parailel with it for a distance of several hundred feet. The first level was 35 feet relow the bottom of the river, and the lower levels, five in number, ran parallel to the first, the bottom being 128 feet below the surface of the water. The five upper levels have been sloped out in the progress of the work, leaving only tim- bers and pi lars of ore to bear the mighty weight of the floors of ore above, The accident is supposed to have been caused by the giving way of the timbers on the fifth level, allowing those above to! follow, and au last the river to pour in upon the men. After the cave in the river bed the mine was dry for an hour minutes. The names of the drowned miners are: Samuel Peters, James Strongman, W. H, Pierce, Charles Pople, Ole Carlson and Joe | Kola, all married men, and Swan Johnson, | Mike Harrington, Frank Rocko, Al Torresa- | ni, Frank Johnson, Samuel Johnston, Shel- | | | below | and 40 , limo Zadra, Peier Turrey.

None of the bodies have been recovered, and it is believed it wili be necessary to di- vert the channel of the river before they ' can be secured. 1t is believed to have been | the worst disaster that ever occurred in the Lake Superior iron region. There were 46 men 1n the mine when the accident occurred, but 18 of them who were . working in the lower levels managed to escape. The Mansfield was developed about six years ago and hus been worked continually since. It was a producer of highgrade Bessemer ore, and it is estimated to have contained 200,000 tons when the accident occurred. To-day itis a worthless pit,only marked by a small bay sunk from the nat- ural bed of the Michigamme by the cave-in. THE WEEKLY CROP REPORT. Pastures Improved Generally. Fall Plowing and Seeding Under Way. The weekly crop report of the Weather Bureau says: Cotton is opening rapidly, and picking has continued under generally fav- orable conditions, although picking was somewhat checked in Texas and Oklahoma by rains during the latter part of the week. Pasturage has continued in good condition in New England and in the Middle Atlantic States and has greatly improved in the Ohio valley. : Corn cutting, where not completed, is be- ing rapidly pushed, and the crop is now re- garded as practically securec, Tobacco cutting is also being rapidly pushed in Maryland, Virginia. Tennessee and Kentucky. In Pennsylvania auch tobacco remains still in the field. The week has been generally favorabls for 1all plowing and seeding,and this work, waich has been much retarded by previous drouth conditions, is being rapidly caught up and has been completed in = some sec tions. In Nebraska, however, the drought remains unbroken, and fall plowing and. seeding have been suspended and 1m Wis- consin while beneficial rains have fallen, the ground is + till to dry for seeding. In Tennessee the weather has been fav- orable for plowing and saving tobacco and fodder; tobacco in northeast portion is being cut and is curing rapidly; wheat seeding commenced in some localities and some winter oats being sown; cotton injured by dirt on open bolls. In Kentucky corn and tobacco cutting and fallowing progressing; general improve- ment in crops, In Indianathe corn and wheat seeding are finished in mostlocalities; corn is safe froin frost; husking continues; clover yield- ing much seed. In Pennsylvania the corn crop has been nearly ruined by the continued drouth, and additional damage was done by the severe storm of the last week of August. Insome portions of the State the crop was blown entirely down. Potatoes were nearly ruin- ed by the drouth. Fruit crop. weie ma- terially shortened by the wind storms, great quantities being blown from the trees. In West Virginia the severe drouth, which was not broken until the last of Au- gust, has reduced the corn aimost toa half crop for the entire state, yet there are cer- taiu sections where the crop will be almost an average. The conditions of wheat at harvesting was good. The quality was ex- cellent. Buckwheat will be .short. The drouth retarded planting and caused much of the grain to perish in the earth before sprouting. Fruit will be a poor yield. Many apples were blown from the trees by the re- cent severe storm. Fully half of the winter apples were destroyed in this way. The clover seed crop is very short. ——— HOW THEY FINISHED. End of the Greatest Season in Baseball History. For the sixth time since 1876 the Boston team has been voted the champion baseball playets of the country, which puts them on an equality with the Chicagos, who have also won the penant on six occasions in that time. The finish of the first six clubs in the race is very interesting, being equally divided between the East and the West. Cincinnati crept into the first division at the last wag of the hammer on a miserable fluke. The Brooklyns had fought for and won their place in the first division, but when they came to Chicago, where they would haveundoubtedly have clinched | matters, the rain knocked them out of the games until Cincinnati tied them. To make | it allthe easier for Cincinnati, on Saturday Washington did not show up at the grounds and so the game was given to the pork: eaters without lifting a hair.

In reply to a letter from Governor North- en, of Atlanta, Ga., asking the president to give his position on tinancial matters, Mr. Cleveland sent the following reply: the Executive MANSION WasHINETON, D. } ‘Hon. W. J. Northen: “My Dear Sir—I hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th inst, It seems to me that I am quite plainly on rec- ord concerning the financial question. My letter accepting the nomination to the pres- dency, when read in connection with the message lately sent to Congress in extraor- dinary session, appears to me to be very explicit. [ want a currency that is stable and safe in the hands of our people. I will not knowingly be implicated 1n a condi ion that will justly make me in the least de- gree answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United States for a shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has re- ceived for a good dollar's worth of work, or for a good dollar's worth of the product of his toil. I notonly want our currency to be of such a character that all kinds of dol- lars will be of equal purchasing power at home, but I want it to be of such a charact- er as will demonstrate abroad our wi dom nd good faith, thus placing upon a firm foundation our credit among the nations of the earth. T want our financial conditions and the laws relating to our currency so safeand reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in business and new enterprises instead of hoarding it. ‘You cannot cure fright by calling it fool- ish and unreasonable, and you cannot pre- vent the frightened man from hoarding his money. “I want good, sound and stable money, and a condition of confidence that will keep it in use, “Within the limits of what I have written Iam a friend of silver, but I believe its proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our financial legis lation and the inauguration of a con- sistent and comprehensive financial scheme I think such a thing can only be entered upon profitably and hopefully after tbe re- peal of the law which is charged with all our financial woes. In the present state of the public mind this law cannot be built upon or patched in such a way as to relieve the situation, “I am therefore opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone and independently; and I amin favor of the immediate and uncondi ional repeal of the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman law. ' “I confess I am astonished by the oppo- sition in the senate to such prompt action as would relieve the present unfortunate situation. ‘My daily prayer is that the delay occa- sioned|by such opposition may not be the cause of plunging the country into deeper depression than it has yet known.'and that the Democratic party may not he justly held responsible for such a catastrophe.

SENATE. —President Cleveland was the object of a prolonged personal attack in the senate to-day on the part of Senator Stewart, silver Rep., of Nevada, who spoke for near- ly three hours on the resolution he offered last Saturday as tothe relativeindependence of the three co-ordinate branches of the Government. That independence he charg- ed the president with disregarding, jin not causing the silver purchase law and the Chinese exclusion law to be faithfully exe- cuted. put worse than the non-execution of these laws appeared to be.in Mr. Stewart's opinion, the contemptuous allusions tc Congress which he found in some of Mr. Cleveland's letters and interviews, He was particularly embittered at the President's allusion in one of his letters to ‘having Congress on his hands,” This was an indig: nity beyond endurance. Without conclug- ing his speeh, Mr. Stewart yielded for an executive session, after which the senate adjourned. Hovsk—The House held an indifferent session today and devoted it aimost entirely tothe consideration of the printing bill. The only interesting matter in connection with this bill were the efforts of Mr. Meikeijohn, of Nebraska. a new champion of the printers, who failed to secure an in- crease of the rates on composition.

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS. Dun’s Busi:ess Review Doss Not Make the Brightest of Showings and Offe. s Much Food For Reflect on. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, N. Y., says: A complete statement of failures for the quarter now closing is not possible, but the number thus far re ported is about 4,000 and the aggregate of liabilities about $150,000,000, greatly surpass: the past week the failures have been 329 in the United States, aginst 177 last year, and in Canada 34 against 31 last year, Business has not entirely answered ex- pectations, Many works which have re- sumed operations do not find orders as large or the demand as vigorous as they antici- pated, and with some it is a question whetl- er they will not close again. While mcney on call has been abundant and cheap, and about $4,500,000 Clearing House certificates have been retired, there is perceptible great- er caution in making commercial loans here and at some Western points. Railroad earnings for September show a decline of 13 per cent. co npared with last year, which is not better than the August teport. Eastbound shipments from Chicago soy a decrease of 14 per cent, for. the last week. The cotton manufacture is gaining more than any other and there isa stronger =siar- ket for print cloths and prints. Sales of wool last week were 4,629,450 pounds, again- St 6,648.600 last year, and for four weeks 14,474,275 pounds, against 31,080,500 last year, but it is believed that many purchzses are for investment rather than for manu- facture While 78 manufacturing concerns are re- ported asstarting wholly or in part, against 20 closing or reducing force, more than a third of the increase has been in cotton mills and another third in machine shops, nail mills, manufacturers of stoves and hardware, tools and cars, while in the iron manufacture proper only seven concerns have started, against three that have stop- ped, and the outlook does not seem brignt er. In foreign trade exports again exceed last vear's anda for the month about 24.6 per cent. while imports show a decrease for the wonth of about 3) per cent, The return ot money from the interior continues large, und plainly reflects less activity than usual at this season in domestic trade and indus. ry. The total clearings of the United States were $772,068,725, a decrease of 27 per cent: the clearings. exclusive of those of New York were $358,187,192, a decrease of 23 per cent, To Make It Warm For Train Robbers. Orders have been issued by the Michigan Central railroad at Chicago that every man on trains hauling express or mail cars be armed with a couple of revolvers and a Winchester rifle.

Cassius Belden, an insane carriage painter, entered the south gallery of the Chicage Board of trade about noon Wednesday, and drawing a revolver, deliberately fired twice toward the ceiling and thiee tinves into the crowded pits of the floor below, and the op posite gallery. A panic immediately ensued, everybody seeking safety in flight or concealing them- selves behind bulletin boards and other objects on the floor. - ‘I'nree persons were struck by flying bul. lets. They were: Amri M. Bennett, Board of Trade operator, shot through the neck; Charles W. Rosewell, assistan chief opera- tor of the Board of Trade telegraph, jaw vroken by buailet; Mrs. Wo W. = Lewis, ~ of Titusville, Pa., World's Fair visitor, a se- vere flesh wound. ; The man who did the shooting refused to give any name but ‘Chicago’ at first but subsequently he said he was Cassius Beld- en, a carriage painter, living at 365 La Salle avenue. His incoherenttalk and apparent indifference to the deed made it evident that he was insane. RAILROAD STRIKERS, ing the record of any previous quarter.
