J VALKYRIE III IS HERE The America Cup Challenger in Our Waters. A TWBVI'Y-TWO J) AYS' VOYAGE Sin Was Mel liown the Huy liy Ite'emler ami tha Vigilant Hint it Hunt of OII.fr Craft. the Now York, August 20. Thousands of peuplo were oil the lookout today fur tho urrival of the Valkyrie UI, aud the British ruoer did nut disappoint them. At 1 :40 tho wire said she had passed Moriohe's lifesaviug statiuu. Hoou afterward thorn was a scene ot comino tiou in the harbor. Crafts of all kinds were gotten under way to meet and welcome the foreign visitor. Among the first of those to get in motion was the freight steamer City of Bridgeport, with Lord Dunraven's representative in America, M. Maitland Kersey, aud a lurge party of frionds aboard. The Vigilant, iu tow of the tender Aero naunt, aud the Defender, towed by hor tender, the Hattie H. Aimer, were sent hastening to welcome the foreign yacht The larger vessels went away ontsido of ShiiiIv Hook, but the little fellows did not have the courage to venture into the choppy sea. The schooners and larger sloops remained in the opeu uutil given the opportunity of seeing the English boat Several tugs were sent out by the newspapers and most of these went close euough to vivo her a beooming welcome. The fleet of vessels was the largest that ever sailed to meet au incoming yacht The Viitjilunt . was towed down through the Narrows to Handy Hook, passing (Quarantine at about 9:!)0 A. M. aud dropped anchor in the Horse shoe. The Defender turned westward on leavins the dock and weut np the East rivor and thence to New Hocbeue. It was a long wait for the boats that went to meet the Valkyrie, aud for the crowds on shore, for the whole fore- uoun wore away without a sign of her. The dock at Quiiniutiue was orowded with people, when, at 9:80, the word was given that the English craft was heading toward the upper hay. At 9:46 the Valkyrie, in tow, slowly passed Quarantine and was boarded by the health ofnoers. The oup-cnalleu- ger looked trim and neat in the glim mering lights. On her decks were ap parently all the members of her crew. Heartv cheers of welcome were ex changed with the English sailors and the usual formalities having been oomplied with, the Valkyrie oontinued on her journey np the bay. Off (Quar antine the Valkyrie waB boarded by a '-jrepiwagnoitive of totrpreM. -whcNfctaln- ed the following story 01 tne voyage from Captain W. W. Cranfleld. "We left Uourock July 7 with a full crew of forty-two men, After leaving Tory island, Sunday, July 8, we ran into a fresh north-easter-north gale, accompanied by high seas, which blew hard for twenty-four hours aud then moderated, Wednesday morning, July 81, it ooramenofid to blow again from the northwest to southeast. It blow hard for five days, when the weather moderated to light southwest winds, which lasted up to Cape Race. There we caught a northeast wind which carried us to Sable island, when the wind became light and left us be oalmed at times. It lasted np to our arrival here. "We sighted Shiuu Rock light at noon today, and at 0:80 this afternoon, when twenty miles west of Fire island, we were taken in tow by the World tug, C. P. Raymond, and here we are. We made 8,016 miles in all, and one day only made about seventy miles. We never carried a rope or yarn throughout the voyage." The Valykrie looks a monster. When one steps on board of her one can al most fancy himself on an ocean steam er. Her beam is simply immense, aud she shows tremendous length. Her bowsprit for her ketch rig is very short, quite a little spar, and her maBts are splendid sticks. In a word she may be labeled "dangerous." The Valkyrie will anchor off Liberty island for one night, aud will be taken to the Erie basin in the morning. Her time of passage was twenty-two days. The Valkyerie II made it in 29 days 18 hours, aud the Vigilaut in 18 days. THE POSTAL CLERKS' DOG. The Famoua Traveler Will Now Tour the World. Tacoma, August 20. "Owney," the postal clerk's famous dog, who has traveled all over the United States, sails at 4 o'clock tomorrow on a trip aronnd the world from Tacoma. Early in July "Owney" came to Tacoma and made a trip to Alaska. Returning he inspected a China steamer lying at the dock and seemed much interested in it This lead to Assistant Post master Stockings making arrange ments for him to go around the world. He will go to Hong Kong on the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria, as the gnest of Captain John Panton. There Captain Panton will put him aboard 8 Pacific & Oriental English steamer, bound for London, via India and Sues. Owney will thence be sent to New York and back to Tacoma. Owney is now 85 years old. He start ed traveling from Albany, N. Y., many years ago. A postal clerk took a fancy to him and put about his neck a tag bearing the inscription: "Be kind to Owney." Ever since he haa been traveling with the posml clerks. He is now fat and laxy and will probably die eventually of overfeeding, for the clerks vie with each other in taking good oare of him. About bis neck and attached to a large ring which goes with him sre hundred tags bearing names ot" various towns be has visited, A bushel of them have been sent to Washington, the ring being reloaded every little while.

BLUEFIELDS IS CLOSER. A TulKgrnpli Line la Built to thfi Mo. qulto Territory. , . Managua, Nioaragua.August 20. The National telegraph has been completed through the sparsely populated district of the eastern part of the department of Choutalis, to tho town of Rama, at the heud ot steamship navigation, on the Blueflolds river. From Kama to Blue fields by steamer (the only route) re quires eight hours, aud from Rama per steamship, to New Orleans, is four and a half to five days. The government of Nicaragua has not yet opaued this line to the public, but will likely do so in a few days. It is possible, how-' ever, that this teleuraph. built by na tives and extended through the green ; aud frequently wet foliage of treei, ; will be unreliable, as the telegraph) lino ooustructed three years ago has w- come from San Juan del Norte west , . , ri. i..ji.... 1.. i. .1 ...,. XrtV The strong card of the prosecution Metagalpa have suddenly changed iJ. their usual sullen manner to opefi threats and disturbances. There were about 5,000 Indians in that and the ad joining department at Jenotega. The soldiers in Nicaragua are nealry all either Indians or half-breeds. Very few of the Latin-Ainerisan are enlsted, or conscripted into the army, except as officers, consequently the conditions of the Latin-Americans and of the North Americans in that department became very alarming. The govern-1 meut of Nicaragua dispatched addi tional soldiers there, aud recently a. commissioner, in the hope of iuflueno iuu the Indians to become ouiet, and! comply with the labor obligations toji which they have bound themselves. At this date the results are not known at Managua. Thetule and complaint of the Indians is that the Virgin Mary, recently, in friendship to the Indians,! informed somo of their principal men) aud women that the Great Spirit in-fl tended to visit that section with a series of severe disasters, intended toj punish the occupiers of those lands' nutil twelve or thirteen years ago owned by tho Indians, and that the In-' dians muBt assemble at the paroohial ohurches frequently and attend mass. A dispatch has been received since this letter was written announcing that the trouble has been settled by the In dians agreeing to fulfill their "labor obligations," The cause of the trouble was that until 1889 their woods were filled with game and fruits enough to feed them. ' Now all those lands are cattle ha ciendas, coffee estates, or cocoa estates. The Indians had been tempted by, small sums of money, from 910 to f20, under the laws of Nicaragua, to sell their wives and children, aud were forced by the military and civil author ities to comply. IDENTITY OF "HATCH.1 jij1: He la Supposed to lie Charles Brace, o' Provldeuee. Providence, R. I., August 20. In spectors in the providenoe police de partment have discovered that "Hath," the much wanted accomplice of the notorious Holmes, formerly lived in this city, and that his deserted wife is living here at present They have suspected for some time that "Hatch" and one Charles Brace, for merly a photographer here, weie the same person, but were unable until a day or two ago to confirm their sus picions, Samuel L. Kirk, ot this oity, is a friend of Brace. Kirk willingly admitted that bis sister married Brace twelve years ago. He was considered a model young man, and was a Sunday school teacher. Soon after Dr. Mud gett came to board in the family, and young Hraoe and the doctor became fast friends. One day the elder Brace and Dr. Mudgett quarrelled, aud the latter moved. Young Brace and his wife soon after this went to Boston. One duy Brace was reported missing. Soon after he appeared in this city, having secured a position with a pho tographer named Rose. He subse quently took charge of Mr. Rose's Nar ragansett pier office, and while thus engaged, one day, after kissing his wife good-bye, left the city aud never returned. In Chicago Brace assumed the name of Charles Gilbert Through a brother who lived in Chicago his identity was established, and it was learned that he had married a 19-year old girl. Mrs. Brace followed her husband to Chica go, nut ne reiusea to give ner any sat isfaction, and the next day, with his second wife, he left Chicago. Lutor it was learned the young woman whom Brace married in Chicago was not with him, and Brace advanced the opinion that she became a victim of Holmes. He Will Kiplore Alaska. Loudon, AngUBt20. Harry Dewynt, the well-known traveler and explorer, in an interview said today: "After a winter lecture tour in America I start in April from Vancouver, via Sitka, to Mount St Elius, whence I will attempt to cross an unexplored part of Alaska to Prince of Wales Cape, and thence across to East Iceland, proceed to Chi juija, and home through Russia. The object of the journey is to explore Alaska and to study the condition of the political exiles of Siberia." Slrkneaa Among the Spanish Troops. London, August 20. The Times' dispatch from Havana says: The sick ness among the Spanish troops does not abate. A battallion of the Guad alajara regiment, quartered at Mayar, province of Santiago de Cuba, report that six officers died within a few days. The volunteers display no enthusiasm. Tbey are paid $30 in gold monthly while serving. Reports from all the provinces concur that the condition of the country grows worse daily. It is impossible to obtain an advance to pay laborers on the plantations. BffraleaB Matters. City of Mexioo, August 20. Prepar atious are making on grand scale for celebrating the anniversary of national independence and the birthday of Pres ident Dias, whose nomination by the libers 1 party for the fourth oonsenutive term is practically assured. Although be has given no intimation that he will accept, leaders of bis party are going ahead with preprations for renominat ing him, and it is now reported that a srsnd convention of the party will be I called for date early in the coming year. i THE LAST LINK ADDED More Damaging Proot of The' . odore Durrant's Guilt. AH Ali ED UbX'a 8IATEMKNTS V She la Pii.ltlva That She Haw Itlmieli .1 l.amont amd Durrani Killer Kioaiiuel Church. 4 , San Francisco, August 19. Since the trial of Thoordoe Durrant for the murder ot Blanche Lumout has been pending, both the prosecution aud de tense have intimated from time to time that they have important additional ..... 1..W... f'IV .T' T V 7 .t v' l at the preliminary examination. Mrs. Leak, a member of Emanuel (Baptist church, who resides opposite tne sanctuary, and who was intimately acquainted with both Durrant aud Miss Lament, voluntary gave the police the last aud most important link iu the ohaiu of evidence against the prisoner. Mrs. Leak is 70 years old, and has been a member of the church several years. She knew both Durrant and Miss Lament intimately and therefore cannot be mistaken with regard to the identity of either. She says she has remained silent since the discovery of the two girls beoause she did not wish to undergo the annoyance of being a witness, and did not oonseut to divulge her information to the police until she became oouvinced that it was a duty she owed to the stute. April 8 Mrs. Leak sat at the win dow of her residence nearly all the afternoon looking for her daughter whom she expected from San Mateo, At 4 o'clock she saw a couple com ing up the street, one of whom she recognized as Durrant, but at first she was puzzled over the identity of the girl. She first thought the young lady was Lucille Turner, but as the couple came nearer Mrs. Leak recognised the girl as Blanche Lamont Miss Lainout wore a school girl's short dress and carried a package cf school books. The dress and the school books were after ward found Beoreted in the church. When the couple reached the church gate they stopped for a moment, Dur raut opened the gate and they passed through. Mrs. Leak from her point of observation was watching them, and when the girl stepped through the gate she said to herself: "What an im prudent thing for hor to do." Mrs. Leak knew nothing detrimental to Durrant She had always consid ered him "such an exemplary young roan," but, notwithstanding that fact, for the girl to go into the church with him alone. She feared some one might have Been them and make nnploasaut remarks. She imagined they hud some errand in the church, and expected in a few minutes they would come out. She watched carefully, but the gate did not open. There is only one en trance to Emanuel church during the week, and that is by the side gate aud rear door. Mrs. Leak knew the young man aud Miss Lamont woo d have to puss through the gate and she wanted to Bee them on the street again before she left the window. She waited a long time, but household duties finally oalled her to another part of the flat, and she was obligied to give up the vigil. Mrs. Leuk's testimony completes the ohaiu of circumstantial evideuce against Durrant Three school girls ' saw Blanche and Durrant riding on a Pow- oll street car at 8:80 on the day that Miss Lamont disappeared. Attorney Quiulan saw the couple a few blocks from the church a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Now comes Mrs. Leak, who says she saw Durrant aud Miss Lamont enter the church a few min utes later. . George King, the organist, has al ready testified that he en:ered the ohnrch about 5 o'clock and saw Dur rant oomiug down from the attic Dur rant's hair was disheveled, his face was red, he was panting for breath and was in a state of utter physical and nervous collapse. In answer to in quiries he explained that he had been engaged iu repairing electrio light wires in the organ loft and had boon overcome by gas. An expert eleotric ian afterward examined the wires aud testified that no repairs of the nature Durrant cluimed to have made had been made within six months. The attorneys for the dofense were disturbed in court today over the pub lication of Mrs. Leak's narrative. -The prisoner also showed signs of uneasi ness for the first time since his arrest The defendant's counsel refused to dis cuss Mrs. Leak's story, but admit its seriousness. Senator roley's K.tate. Reno, Nov., August 19. What ap pears to be the opening gun in the con test for the late Senator Foley's estate appeared today in the form of a peti tion filed with the county clerk by the counsel for Vernon Harrison Hartley, the illegitimate child of the late sena tor, aud Mrs. Alice M. Hartley. The paper sets forth that Senator Foley had acknowledged the parentage of the child in writing before good witnesses, and prays that one-half ot the entire estate be made over to the child and the other half go to the other heirs. It is believed that the paper acknowledging the facts is now locked up in the vault of a Salt Lake bank. At any rate, Mrs. Hartley, in her testimony in the murder trial, said that Senator Foley went to Salt Lake with the intention of filing the document with lot of other private papers. The Work of Mob In Florida. West Palm Beach, Fla., August 20. Sam Lewis, murderer of three men, was taken from jail at I A. M. by a mob of masked men and lynched. When the mob demanded the keys the jailer said tbey could have him if they would harm no one else, to which they oonsented. As the door was opened negro ran out Some one fired mining him and killing Ututav Kaiser, the jailer. The mob oontinued firing at the negro but he escaped. Four men then entered the jail and took Lewis to telegraph pole where be was nangea after which tha body was riddled with bullets. INDUSTRIES PROSPER. The l arlloularly Bright Spot In Muiuiiier Meatson. null New York, August 19. R. G. Dun & Co. say iu their Review of Trade: "A belated sersou and a frozen May set everything back. The heavy busi ness which ought to have been dune in May and June was pushed into July, so that the midsummer decline due In July comes in August, and it is not surprising to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usual. "Tho disappointing crop reports of last Saturday, though evideutly dis trusted, lessened confidence in regard to the future of trade, even while some speculators gain by them. Back of all doubts is the taut that the Industries are doing better than anybody could have expected. The output of pig iron August 1 wss 180,695 too weekly, or 176,505 by another report, in either case close to the largest output in 1898. Unsold stocks are 88,000 tons smaller, the stool companies having mado heavy purchases in advance of needs, but the aotual consumption is large, and prices rise in the face of an in creasing output Bessemer iron is 114.15 at Pittsburg, aud plates have advanced $1 per ton. The sale of steel rails in 1895 to August 1 were 20,000 tons, and the deliveries 682,000. Wages in this industry have been gen erally advanced, and strikes are tew. Minor mewls changed little, though large sales lifted lake copper to 12 1-2 cents. "Textile imports have been very heavy, aud advances in cotton goods to some extent check buying, while Fall River spinners are organising for re storation of wages paid before the panic The sales of wool .were 0,813, 000 doruestlo, and 6,274,000 foreign, this month, against 12,870,650 domes tic and 1,002,500 foreign last year, and 11,889,800 domestic and 4,566,600 for eign in 1802, indicating that the do mestic wool is largely held for specula tion at prices about 1 cent higher than manufacturers feel able to pay. .. "Failures for ths week were 190 in the United States, against 226 last week, and 89 in Canada, against 45 last week." BRITISH VESSEL FIRED ON. Still Another Complication Between Knglnnd aud Veneauela. New York, August 19. Advices from Barbadoea, under date of July 20, state that breaches of international law, like filibustering expeditions, seem to be on the increase in the Car ribean sea. The latest as well as the one most likely to attraot considerable atteution is the firing upon a British schooner in British waters by a Veue tuelan gunboat The sohoouer Ellen, which is owned and aailed by Captain TruxillOjja Britisher, anaLregistered at T4utdad,-BBed oatdW TllOTOnaaKv a Voneauelau gunboat, and thougn tne captain sent the English flag to his mizzenmast head the Venezuelans sim ply ignored it and oontinued their fir ing, injuring the sails of the British vessel in several plaoes, and declined to cease firing until the British vessel had been hove to and allowed the Venezuelan oruiser to oome along side. Captain Truxillo reported as above to tho harbormaster at Port au Spain. He was asked to make a sworn declara tion of the facts as stated, whioh he immediately did. The captain ex plains that he was on a voyage out from Trinidad to the Venezuelan port of Mautrin, and when within two miles of Trinidad a Venezuelan coast guard cruiser fired a shot at his vessel. The British ensign was sent up on the mizzenmasthead, but no notice was taken of it He kept the vessel on its course, believing it wonld be all right, when the Venezuelan sent a shot through the schooner's sails. The pas sengers and crew threw themselves upon the deck to escape the shot whioh was raking the vessel. He was 00m- pellod to heave to and tho Venezuelan came alongside. Captain Truxillo, passengers sud crew were foroed.to enter a small boat, aud were kept there for nearly four hours, when tbey were released. I'l the meantime the Vene zuelans bad searched the ship, ' but finding nothing to take in her, she was allowed to continue the voyage.' The Trinidad government has re ported the matter to the colonial office at London, and the outcome iB anxious ly awaited. ' That Alleged Mallatufflng. . San Francisco, August 19. Samuel Flint, general superintendent of the railway mail service on the ooast, has turned the tables upon F. i Colver, ol the Los Angeles mail Bervioe, who ac cused him of stuffing the mails for the purpose of swelling the profits of the Southern Pacific Company. Colver baa been snsptuided from duty, and it is believed that this is only prelimin ary to his permanent dismissal. The order was issued by the general super-' intendont of the railway mail service at Washington. No reason was given for the suspension, but it is believed that he will be charged with insubor dination in making accusations against Flint to the newspapers, thus violating one ot the most stringent rules of the department Postoffice Inspectors Ir win and Monroe, who have been in vestigating Colver's charges against Flint, have completed their report, and it has been forwarded to Washington. It is believed in postal circles that the report practically exbonerates f lint from the charges of mail-stumng. Peace Arbitration. Brussels, August 19. The interna tional parliamentary conference on peace arbitration today adopted a reso lution declaring that when a state had proclaimed permanent neutrality, such neutrality should be recognized by the powers. The conference also adopted a resolution introduced by W. R.
