SourHSBA, Aug. 18. By a collision be
tweeo the yachts Meteor and Isolde this
morning doring the race for the vice
commodore's .cap, Baron von Zedwitz,
' - the owner of Isolde, was so badly injured'
that he died before be could be taken - to
' a hospital. AH the members of tbe
crew of the Isolde were swept overboard
when the yacht9 collided, bnt were res
cued from the water by boats from tbe
other yachts. " ?
Ailsa, Britannia, Satanita and Meteor
started in tbe race for tbe vice-commodore's
cop. Not long after tbe start and
while passing the committee boat the
'big yachts Britannia and Meteor were
almost abreast the Isolde and narrowly
averted a collision. Britannia suddenly
shifted her hlm to avoid Satanita and
Meteor struck Isolde, sweeping her from
stem to stern with her bowsprit. Isolde's
mainmast and sails crashed overboard
carrying nearly all the crew of the Is
olde and crashing Baron von Zedwitz
Britannia and Meteor immediately hove
to and lowered boats for the assistance
. of the men straggling in the sea. - Ailsa
aad the other yachts did the fame.
- Baron von Zedwitz, when palled oat
of the water, was found to have a bad
cut on tbe head and was bleeding from
the ears. He was then taken on board a
: steam vacht which immediately made
. lor Rydo, bat died on board the yacht.
He was a ' German privy councillor
. member of both tbe reicbstag and Prns
sian diet. He had ' been in parliament
for about 25 years, and was a leading
man in finance and politics, and a leader
' of the free conservative party. Although
comparatively - young, be was anani
xnonsly recommended in 1890 by the
. state cabinet for the post of minister of
finance, but was not appointed becanse
the emperor bad taken a fancy to Dr,
' Miquel. 1
Isolde, in addition to losing her masts,
etc., had her bowa stove in and was

Democrats Must Have Popollstjc
port or Suffer Defeat.'
Omaha, Aug. 18. Eugene . V.: Debs
- has written under date of August 6, a
letter to George P. Farrison, of Chad
ron, Neb., setting forth his views on sil
. ver and fusion- between the Democrats
and Populists. Debs says :
. "Without the support of Populists the
Democratic party cannot' win. ' Mr
Sewall can well afford to step aside to
effect a union of the two great forces and
1 insure the election of the people's can-
didates. Such action on the part of
n Sewall would make him . a far greater
man than the vice-president.' Failing to
accord the Feople's party - such recogni
tion, which may culminate in open re-
volt, especially-in the Southern states,
where the Populists have suffered all
' sorts of indignities at the- hands of the
Bourbon Democracy, and may cost Bry
an his election and put. McKinley 'and
, goldbngism in power. . s
- "There is a 'vast . difference between
. Bryan and the Democratic party. If tbe
latter's only ambition is to swallow the
"People's party so as to. place them in
power and get possession of tbe offices,
. their design will and should be thwarted.
I would far rather see.. McKinley elected
than to have another Democratic ad
. jottmietration." - ; . -

ArthurSew.il.
Chicago, Aug. 18. The Poet's Wash
ington special savs. Thomas E. Watson,
tbe Populist vice-preeidential nominee,
Is but with another statement. Watson
says: - ' ,
; "To expect to beat McKinley without
saying a word against McKinley is some'
thing new under the sun, but Bryan's
silence, was proper and necessary. He
could not afford to denounce protection
while Sewall, hi9 rnnning mate, is so
well known as a protectionist.
Mr Sewall is even now acting in
league with the Republicans to 6ecure
legislation which will levy tribute upon
every American - consumer of foreign
goods, in the selfish interest of the New
England shipbuilders, of ; whom be is
one ; and just as Mr. Sewall 's presence
on the ticket prevented Mr. Bryan from
assailing national banks of issue and tbe
Republican doctrine of protection, so
the same baneful influence prevented
him from denouncing railroad monopoly
and extortion, Mr. Sewall being a pro
tectionist of lusty proportions himself.
: "In fact, it seems the .mission of Mr.
sewall in the campaign la to act as a
contradiction to Mr. Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. . For instance, Mr. Bryan
said in one of his speeches the other day
that if he'ehould be elected, tbe people
who elected him would not be found
asking favors of the government. We
had not quite 'finished , clapping our
hands over this statement, before it was
made clear to ns that the- men who are
backing the ticket in New England will
demand that the government levy a fine
upon every citizen who dares to buy for
eign goods which are not brought to this
country in the ships of Mr. Sewall and
his Republican colleagues." .

Tbe free American voter should try to
get above party prejudices this year,
The presidential candidates have them
selves encouraged every voter to stand
by his convictions on tbe money ques
tion. It does not lie in the mouth of
any McKinley man to berate a Republi
can voter for casting bis ballot for free
silver and for tbe Chicago ticket if he
believes that way. It does not lie in the
mouth of a Bryan man to criticise any
sound-money Democrat for voting for
McKinley. If yon believe in free silver
vote that way. If you believe in sound
money vote for McKinley. Let as settle
this question in a courageous and con
scientious manner and get it forever out

" . Louisville Courier-Journal,

he is a rank protectionist, a member of
that : officious protective organization.
the American Tariff League, and went
to Chicago to try to secure the adoption
oi a ship subsidy plank similar to that
in the Republican platform. . He can
well stand on tbe platform of the Chi
cago convention, which' repudiated the
cardinal Democratic doctrine of a "tariff
for revenue only" and submitted a plank
in th interpretation of which all pro
tectionists can unite. ' '
'As far as I can judge," he said, "the
conditions at. altogether favorable tor a
Republican victory. I have spoken in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kan
sas, ana in all tnose states 1 nave come
in contact with all the leading Republi
cans of each state, and they confidently

campaign must be kept np until election
day to accomplish what we hope and
confidently expect to achieve in each
one of these states."
"Yes, we are going to carry Nebraska,"
said the senator, in a most assuring tone.
'The farmers of Nebraska are not being
carried away with the free-silver idea.
We have had Populism out there for sev
eral years and the farmers who remained
good as upon former occasions.' The
principal event of tho day was tbe sloop
race, which was participated in by Mono;
gram, Mayflower, Pearl, White Wings,
Columbia, and Lizzie Brown. White
Wings came in first, with Mayflower
second and Pearl third. After the race
all the yachts participated in a series of
maneuvers which greatly delighted the
crowd of onlookers.
An amusing feature of the day's pro
gramme wa? a. tub race, tbe prize for
which was a keg of beer, which was eager
ly contested for. ;
The other events of the day . were
Single scull race, double scull race, ship's
boat race, -fishing-boat race,' schooner
race and one rater race, all of which
events were closely contested.
The State Press Association assembled

Washington-, Aug. 20. At botW Dem
ocratic and ropulist headquarters, ser
ious aiarm is ieit over ttie situation in
Idaho, where the news dispatches in
dicate that the Democrats and Populists
have effected a fusion which leaves out ,
the silver Republicans. The managers
at both headquarters consider that this
combination, at the expense of the sil
ver Republicans, is a violation of the
spirit of the. free-silver campaign, which
seeks to combine all the silver forces,
and thev fear its effect on the silver Re
publicans of other Western states. They
believe the different forces should have
combined on equitable and 'just terms
and effected a division snch as was made
in Minnesota and Washington. More
over, they consider that it is especially
ungrateful in Idaho, liecause the refusal
to recognize the eilver Republicans in-
volvea tbe defeat of Senator Dubois.
The latter is looked upon by both De

of the central figures in the bolt of free-

. Miss Richardson resides at Enterprise,

in this vicinity. Yesterday she started

overtaken by three Indians, also on
horseback, one of wliom was tbe brute
Biles. They passed her, but in a short
time Biles came back alone and, riding
alongside of the young lady, be seized
the horse's bridle and tried to lead him
into some bushes.
Miss Richardson sprang from her
horse and ran screaming down tbe road,
but Biles soon overtook her and, flour
isbing a revolver, threatened to kill her.
He then dragged her into the bashes
and accomplished, his brutal purpose.
after which he mounted his horse and

SWIFT PIGEONS.
More Than a Mile Made a Minute in a '
" Keocnt Trial. "
Aided by a-out.hcrly wind and a per-
fectly clear sky, the first test of the .
pigeons which aret to represent the first
Chicago Homing club in the Nationul
federation rnces this year was a most
notuMe success, says the Ch icago Chron
icle. The trial iva rrmarkable in more .
than one feature. Two hundred and .
trhly-one birds, the largest number'
which the dub has evei'Hberatod from
one racing station, made the trip, and .
of that number every bird was reposing
peacefully in it loft by one o'clock in
the afternoon. The time made by the- .'
first birds to arrive home xvaa the fast-. .
est ever made , over t)ie course, and rep
resents a, speed of more than a mile a ,
minute.
The birds were "liberated at Monee,
42 miles away from the nearest loft, .
at 7:30 o'clock, and White Wing3, owned
by L. Verschuereri, stepped bark in its
loftnt 8:14i. "White Wings wna closely
followed by nearly half the flock, and 50
arrivals were reported lietween 8: 15 and
8:17. Inasmuch as every bird spent at . '
least as much as five niiimtes in circling .
before starting on a. line for home, the '
speed shown is materially more than
a mile in ench GO secotius. . ,
As an illustration of how little even
the best fanciers arc able to judge of
the merits of their own pets, it is in
teresting to note that White Vings had
been considered almost worthlces. Only
a month ago he was flown from Sixty-.
