OUR OIIAND OLD IIOAT.
COWE8, Ixle of Wight, Aug. S.-Tho
Vigilant, Britannia and Hatanlta start
ed today In the regatta of the Royal
London Yacht club. Tho Hatanlta got
a little thn bct of the atart, and at
Rydo pier led the Vigilant 1 minute
and 40 seconds, and thu Britannia 5
minute and 31 second.
A larger number of spectator as
sembled than ever before witnessed an
English regatta. Kmporor William ar
rived on tha Imperial yacht at 3 o'clock,
At tho outset the Britannia held the
windward position. The Vigilant tried
to pas her, but she luffed by and set
the Vigilant back. For a time both
made little progress, and the Hatanlta
apldly forged ahead. The spectators
concluded, a the weather wa not
favorable: to the Britannia, the two
Britons had reached an understanding
that tho Britannia should devote her
self to harasxliig tho Vigilant, while
tho Hatanlta went out for tho cup. At
Warner lightship tho Hatnlta led tha
Vigilant 10 seconds, the Britannia 05
seconds, and when half the courxo wa
covered only a little over a minute
separated the fliHt and third yacht.
The Vigilant develops! light weather
qualities thnt astonished the British
skipper-. The Hatanlta wiih hopd?
ly astern passing Yormouth. The Vig
ilant was then 3 minute ana 10 sec
ond ahwid of tho Britannia, and 18
minutes and 34 seconds ahead of the
Hittanltn. The spinnakers were pet to
lhe starboard on. tho run from Yar
mouth to Cows, and, as she usually
does in light weather when going with
all kltf flying, the VlglUint drew
away from the prince's yacht and made
a show of the HatanltH, The tlmewa
estimated that when the Britannia fin
ished that the Hatanlta was nearly
half an hour astern of tho victorious
American,
The time of the yachts at the finish
wore: Vigilant, B;00;15;UHUnnla, 6:14:27;
Hatanlta, 5:40:15. The Vigilant conse
quently won by 8 minutes and W sec
onds, counting out her time allowance
of 2 minutes and 22 second,

THE HOUHE CAUCUa
Washington, Aug. T. The house dem
ocratic tariff caucus at t o'clock to
day and the Interview of Senator Voor-
hoc pronouncing In favor of the house
position on free Iron and coal are the
absorbing topics among the member
of the houae. Those who projected the
caucu assert they have not Intended
to discredit the conferreea. The ant I
caucus men denounce the caucus, how
ever, a a flank movement toward a
surrender to the senate. From the
general tenacity of the caucu as well
as of the anti-caucus men It seemed
evident at noon there would be no ri
olutlon Instructing the house conferrees
to recede or otherwise discrediting their
course.
THE CAUCUS IN DETAIL.
Washington, Aug. 1. Chairman Wil
son and his associates of the house con.
ferree scored a victory today when
th house democratic caucus, which
waa called with a view of termln vtlng
the tariff bill by Instructing or advt-
Ing the house ronferree, adjourned
without action. The effect of this wa
to leave the house conferrees to pro
ceed as-they see best and to show con
splcuously that the effort to advise
them had failed. The friends of Wil
son said they had the caucu so well
In hand they could have passed the
Livingston resolution expressing con
fidence but there wa no desire on the
part of the supporter of the conferree
to take thi course. Speaker Crisp
and Chairman Wilson expressed them
selves a gratified with thla conclu
sion and among the rank and Ale of
the hous, the sentiment Is general that
the movement Inaugurated to bring
about an rcceptance of the senate bill
has resulted In materially strengthen
ing tho opiKisltion to the senate bill.
The caucus was called to order by
Chairman Holman. The roll call dis
closed the presence of 166 members.
Enthusiasm wa aroused by the read
ing of a telegram, announcing the re
sult of the Alabama elections.' Then
Mr. Bynum offered the following reso
lution: "Resolved, first, that It I the
sense of this caucu that the demo
cratic conferree of the house and sen
ate should meet In the spirit of liber
ality to the end that the two houses
by mutual consent may agree upon a
measure which wilt meet the approval
of each. Second, that this caucua
stands adjourned until i o'clock p. m.
Friday, the 10th, at which time, in
case no agreement has been reached,
it shnll reconvene to take such further
action in the premises as It may deem
necessary and appropriate, and tho
chairman of the house caucus Is here
by authorised and directed to invite
democratic senators to meet with the
democrats of the house at that time In
Joint caucus,
SHORT SESSION.
The senate held a short ant unlit-
lerciiting session today, the most im
portant event of the prosoeJIngj being
the passing of a resolution directing
the prcaldont to take stop for the re
lease of American sltl-cens confined on
the Island if Cuba for participation In
recent rsbiilll ns,

The commissioner expressly GU?lalm
either of the purports, and their
objoots are veiled In mystery.
In an explanatory statement, which
wa a brief one, Mr. Bynum said that
there had been a clamor from, a part
of tho press for the house bill, he be
lieved the overwhelming sentiment of
the country wa for the best possible
bill that could be agreed upon. For
himself, he preferred the eanate bill
to no bill.

THE SENATE CONFERREES.
Washington, Aug, 7. The tariff con
ference today waa entirely eubordlnat

void of Interesting feature. There
were Indication that an early conclu
sion of th conference may be brought
about. One I the fact that Senator
Gorman 1 making careful Investiga
tion of the statu of the bill in cas
a report should be made. Certain of
the conservative senator are very im
patient of delay In conference and it
I known that a resolution discharging
th conference from further consider
ation of th bill receding from the dif
ferential wa drawn up by one of
them on Monday and would have been
preaented but for tho Interference of

There is still lalk of a possibility of
such motion, but It wilt not be made
except with the consent of the senate
conferree,
