Boston, Dec. 28. It Is generally con

l'aiue will not build a cup defender for
the international yacht race next year.
Henry Briunt also Heems to be disin
clined to tuke the lead. He savs the cost
is too great, and furthermore makes the
very lensonablo objection to building a
boat which is good for nothing but rac
ing. The Adams boys, then, must be per
miaded to held a syndicate, and thus give
to Boston a representative, which sua so
richly deserves after tho splendid show

New York, Dec. 28. Fickle fortune al
lowed the crack Inman steamship City of
Paris to be beaten by tho Cunard steam
ship Ktruria, which has never fallen be
low tho six day record. The same for
tune has allowed the Umbrla, a sister
ship nnd much fatter vessol, to be outrun
to tliU port by tbu nine day steamship La
Normaudie.
The Uinbrla and Normandie Itoth sailed
for this port on Dec. 37, the formor from
Liverpool via Queenstown, and the latter
from Havre. The Normandla is tied up
to har piar, while so far nothing has baan
heard of tha Cuuarder.
Tho delay in tha arrival of tha Umbria
has caused considerable anxiety even to
tha agents of the line, who bailers that
some mishap must nave occurred ta tha
machinery. Tha steamahlp haa always
made the most regular trips, reaching
tha this port Saturday aftarnaons or Bun
day mornings. Only on one occasion haa
aho been later, and that was thrss yeara
ago, when her machinery gave out. Sine
then the record of the vessel haa been
free from accidont.
The severity of the weather is believed
by many to be tho cause of the non-arrival
of the steamship. All the vessels
which have arrived slnoe Wednesday last
have been delayed from twelve hours to
two days, and the more recent the arrival
the greater tho delay, except In the caso
of the Normandie, which was only 24
hours late. The vessels were all delayed
by tho storms, homo having been com
pelled to go lar to tno souiuwaru, uu
others to proceed under reduced speed.
Cuntalti McKay, commander ol tue um
bria, is a most thorough seaman, having
been 25 years following the sea. He may
have been compelled to go the southward,
and iu order to save Ills supply ol roai
may have run at twelve instead of ID
knots, which would save 200 tons of coal
a toy.
Tno Umurlu carries oio passengers uuu
a crew of 250 olllcers and men. The pas
sengers are divided iuto 1U0 saloon 123
second cabin and 120 steerage.
In November. lbSS, the Uinbria cut
down nnd sank the steamship Iberia four
miles off Long Beach in a demo fog.
London. Dec. 28. The officials of tUe
Cunard line say that they have no doubt
that the Umbrla's delay is due to tho
breaking down of her engines. Tho
rate of reinsurance paid on tho Umbria's
cargo is ten guineas premium.
MR. CASS ATT p EN I ES IT.
Says Cleveland Haa Not Olfertid Illm the
Secretaryship of the avy.
Philadelphia, Dec, 28. The mention
of A. J. Cassatt's name in connection
with the Secretaryship of tho Navy in
Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet is tho cause of
considerable speculation in political
circles.
A reporter called upon Mr. Cassattt nt
his home and asked him whether tho
President-elect had tendered him a Cabinet
portfolio.
"Oh, no," Mr. Cassatt quickly re
plied. "Has Mr. Cleveland, through his intim
ato friends, intimated making you such nil
offer?"
"Not nt all: you must remember I via
not in politics and have no aspirations
whatever for a Cabinet office."
