for certain modifications of the existing
regulation! in that bureau in regard to tin
transfer and surrender of Uulted States

each cnie similar to that which would b
required in a court of justice. The niuttor
was referred to Judge McCue, sollcltor-gen.
cral of the treasury, aud ho has given an
opinion adverse to tho proposition, on the
ground that the present system Is sufficient
for all business purposes, and that changes
such as were suggested would tend to need
less trouble and deluy.

THE YANKEE BOAT WINS-
Tho Great Race Between tho Puritan
and tlio Crcnesta.
XTho Frtze Cup Will Ilemala in
America.
New York dlapaUh: The race Sept.lBtb
decided that America'! cup shall remain In
America. It was a grand contest, and It can
not be said the result proves that the cutter is
lupcrlor to the center-board. Tho Puritan's
wlnnlns was so small that the slightest slant
In favor of her opponent would have turned
tbo tables. The Puritan was tho better boat
by only 1 minute and 33 scotnds. The breeze
early in the morning was from tho northwest
nd only fair. When the Luckenbach left
her dock It bad hauled around to the south,
west and freshed a little. The weather was
cool, the sky almost cloudless. The Judgcsi
boat was late In starting and sho mado no
stops. Oil the point of Sandy Hook, a largo
fleet of sail vessels could bo seen clustering
irouud Scotland lightship, from whero tho
start was to bo made. Among tbeso her big
topsails wero distinguishable, towerine above
tho smaller fry. Both wero hcadeu to land.
The Luckenbach got underway and when
mar them Mr. acbuvler was put on board tbo
Curltan, Fleet Cautaln C'tntcr going to tho
(jencsta.
The Luckenbach got nearer to the Gcncsta,
?Ir Richard Sutton and his lrlcnds wero
sitting about smoking and reading the pa-
"llow do you make tho wind!" called out
Chnlrmnn 'lams from the tug. Dr. Wood
bury answered, "West by northwest by this
compass." ''So do wo; that will make tho
couise cast by southeast," replied Tams.
Then the Luckenbach went to tho Puritan.
"Can ou glvo us tho course before putting
up tho signals!" called out Skipper Crocker.
Tams said, "l'cs, It will bo east by south
erst." "Good, then wo can rely on that
course and preparo to set our spinnaker!"
"yes, sir."
The Luckenbach took up ner position about
2C0 yards from tbo lightship and to the north
fast of it, and at 10:45 a. m., biew the signal.
The boats were standing away towar.l the
Jersey euore, but came about headed for tho
starting point. At U o'clock tho preparatory
signal five minutes beforo the start was civen.
The vachts were tomo distance away. Tbo
starting slinal was blown at 11 :05.
The Gcncsta crossed the line first at 11:5-0,
as she crossed her si lnna!er was set and it
bellied out in tbo fresh breeze. At 11:0(1-10
tbo Puritan crossed the lino aud also set her
spinnaker. They both looked like blackbirds
with enormous white wmgs. Tho I'urltan
drew up on the Englishman at once and got
so tloso that from directly In tho rear they
looked lUo one boat. Tno Puritan got on
the Gcncsta's pert quarter and gained grauu
ally until they were on even terms. As they
passed Sandy Hookllehtshlp the Genesta was
under mainsail, spinnaker, club topsail, jib,
Jib eta) fall, and jib topsail.
The Puritan carried mainsail, spinnaker,
club topsail and Jib. She had her balloon jib
set when sho started, Lut Skipper Crocker
quickly saw it wasn't drawluir and It was
taken in. At 11:43 tbo Puritan looked to Le
ahead about five lengths, but the Genesta
caught a pull directly aud drew up with her.
Tho Gcncsta took In her Jib to, sail, liotli
started with spinnakers out to starboard, but
at 11:67 the Gonesta took hcr'a In, and at 12
o'clock abc jibed, and two minutes after ran
out her spinnaker on the port side. Sho
seemed to do better than beforo, Lut there
was no advantage on the part of cither. The
Puritan continued under too same sail. Tho
wind freshened a Uttlo and white caps ai
pcarod. This was what everybody was wish
ing for. Probably everybo ly wanted a "cut
ter day," so that the s, ccd of the Englishman
could be shown. At 12:15 both wero even,
and about half a milo from each other. Fol
lowing them were four excursion steamers,
four steam yachts and a few tugs and sailing
vesst-ls. Theso latter did not go far. -The
g amnions went too fast and thoy coucludod
CO oack and see the finish.
At 12:48 the Genesta took In her club top
sail and so did tho Puritan. Half a minute
later, at 12:52 tho Genesta put up her sprit
topsails. They were nearlng the turning raft
and the Ueucsta was leading a out a quarter
of a mile. At I o'clock she tonk down her
inlnnaker and her sailors swaved up the
boom. At 1:01 tho Parltan took In her spin
naker. The Genesta's boom was over to
starboard, and as he nad to go to starboard of
the raft it was ncccsary for her to tlbe.
Every ono thought that sho would lose
ground by this, but sho uldn't.
She went around the raft so neatly and
qulcklr, that whatever sho lost was not er
ceptlble. She stood awav on the starboard
tack, having turned at 1:03-80. Tho Puritan
turned at UU7-U0.
lloth heeled over, and their sailors lay to
windward, only the tops of their caps bein
dlsccrniblo over the bulwarks. At 1 :23-3 the
Puritan went about on tho port tack, and
half a minute later the Genesta followed. At
1:25 tho Koatonlau housid her tot sails and
went along under aelnsall, jib and Jib stay-
8nUnder tho ten knot breeze both boiled
through the water. 'I ho Genesta was at angle
of aiout 45 degrees. The Purltau began to
outpoint aud got nearer her rival. At 1:37
tho Geucsta set her worklug topsail. It be
gan to blow great dins and tho spray dashed
over tho decks of the judges' bo it so that It
was uncomfortable. At 2:111 tho Genesta
went about on the starboard tack, and at2:17
the Puritan foil wed. This was the last tack,
anil both now had tliclr courses for the finish.
The waves dashed over their bows and they
bobbed up and down, as they rust ed nlong.
Ti e Puritan had out olnteil the Genesta. 60
she was ahead a Uttlo and calnln; all the
timo. She was about three-fourths of a mile
to windward and eL lit miles from tho llght
shto whn C aptain Crocker let out hU main
sail a little aud let her go. Sho ran up close
to the Geni sta, ae.d at 3 40 there was a Utile
lulling uinti m. The Genesta was behind and
sho went to the windward, evidently trying
to irrt up and cup" her opponent Sho lost
ground In this. .....
The Luckenbach went ahead and anchored
about SO I vards to the north of tie llnhtslit,).
The end was approaching and tho steamers
tot ready to blow their wi Istles aud the
vaeliM to' flro their guns. Tho Puritan crossed
the lino at 4:0'. 15, Whistles blew, guns
were tired, and everybody cheered. She Im
mediately lutfid aud watched tho English
man c me In. The (ieuesta crossed at 4: iO at.
the was cheered and dated.
It w as all ovor, and it can hardly bo called
a defeat. The tug t-eaudlnavlan took tho
Puiltau In tow and a moment later the Luck
cubaeh gave the Genesta a lino. Tho dlu of
whistles and cheering continued somo time.
The Luckenbach overhauled tho tcsndlna
vim. and as tho two yatclies came near each
ot er. the UenesU people dolled their caps
to the Puritan people. TUe Old Dominion
stoamer Richmond passed bv with a crowd of
ccUtor '1 hey cheered the Genesta, then

Mr. Lcldom, sergennt-at-nrms of the
house, who was in chnrgo ot tho Holinun
Indian committee, conies back hen?, says a
Washington dispatch, with various novel
views ot tho Indian race. Bed Cloud ho
believes to bo a loafer and constitutional
dcadbeat, who is tho only ono ol all the
chiefs the committed lino visited that
steadily refuses to allow his children to
attend school nnd tako on tho ways of
civilisation. Hed Cloud tolls his peorio
that us long as the great fatherkuows that
they nro ui a do to support themselves
they will bo provided with rations, but if
they becomo self-supi ortlng they will re
ceive no more help. hoi it was suggested
to him that his men should learn to mrm,
he said: "Our farmer (their Instructor In
agriculture) is not of tho rig'it kind. Ho
comes hero and wnnts our warriors to work.
What we want is for the great father to
send us white men to plant our corn, hoo
it, reap it and put it in bams, which they
should build for us. Wo aro warriors and
don't work; squaws work."
Mr. Lcidom says the committee has a
number of reforms in Indian government
to recommend. The general tenor of them
all will be to treat tholndlans Ilkochlldron,
and govern them accordingly; to teach
them to farm nnd earn their own living,
but to care for them whenever they aro un
able to do bo themselves.

77i Chinese Contttl and the Government,
Cheyenne dispatch: Three ol tho govern
ment directors, Gen. E. P. Alexander, M.
A. Hanna ad Jnmcs W. Savage, are at
Kock Springs investigating tho circum
stances attending tbo late outbreak. Thoy
gave a hearing yesterday to the committco
of citizens who hnd previously presented
their case to Mr. Bromley. Nothing now
appeared as to tlio alleged griovanccs
against tho Chinese, or against tho om
ployes of tho mines. Tho same rules were
observed with regard to the circumstances
immediately connected with tho outrages,
all witnesses refusing to say anythlngwhat
ever concerning the attacks upon the China
men nnd tlio burning of their quarters.
The examination wus chiefly conducted
by Judge Savage, who was materially as
sisted therein by Mr. Hanna, who is him
self a mine owner und familiar with the
subject of miners' grievances. Every op
portunity has been furnished the citizens
and miners to present their grievanco.
Tlio government directors decided upon
the facts as shown, to send the following
dispatch to Secretary Lamar:
Tho undersigned government directors of
the Union Pacific railway, pursuant to law,
report that we havo mado investigation
upon the spot of the nllcgcd outrages re
cently occunlng at this place, and wo find
such a condition of alfuirs hero ns in our
opinion endangers tho property of tho road,
jeopardizes tho Interest of the government
nn u calls for prompt interference.
Wo therefore deem it important that full
authority should bo given the propcrofll
cers to affoid nmplo assistance to the man
agcrs in their efforts to protect tho proper
ty of the company and conduct thobusiness
of the road. E. P. Alisxandkk,
M. A. Hanna,
Jas. W. Savaqe.
Tho Chinceo consul nt San Francisco,
Col. Bee, and the Chinese consul at New
York are hero with a Chineso interpreter,
to muke a thorough investigation onbehnlf
of the Chinese government ot ail the circum
stances connected with thooutbreak. They
aro ordered here by the Chinese legation at
Washington. Col. Bet) hns already had tho
remains of some of the Chinamen who wero
killed exhumed, and it wus found in two in
stances the skulls ot the Chinamen were
fractured, Indicating that they were killed
in a struggle at close quarters.
Tho consuls have offered a roward of $15
each for additional bodies found in the
vicinity. Accurato returns ns to the num
ber ot Chinamen killed cannot yet bo made,
but so far as can be now learned there are
fifteen missing, and the wholo number
killed is twenty-one.
Col. Bee has made up his mind from con
versations with the citizens nnd officials
that any attempt to bring tho offenders to
justice through the local authorities will
fall. It is his intention to telegraph the
state department through tholegation call
ing tor moro vigorous measures for the pro
secution of the criminals by tho United
States courts under tlio provisions of the
treaty with China. Ho says that all of the
proceedings that havo been had in tlio mat
ter bo far are a bold farce, and unless the
matter is taken in hand by tho United
States authoiitics there will bo nothing
done.
Ho finds eleven of tho grnnd Jury before
whom the coses of the raen already arrested
will go aro citizens of Kock Springs, many
of them miners, all of them sympathizers
with tho rioters, whilo of thopctit jury four
teen of the twenty-four aro from Bock
Springs.
Col. Pec states ns ono of the remarkable
results of tho inquiries, that of the men en
gaged in tho outbreak not ono was nn
American born citizen. Ho deems it espec
ially significant that tlio outcry against tho
Chinese which Is depended upon to Justify
tho outrages comes from men who nro not
themselves natives, and many of them not
citizens of tho United States.

What tho Union Pacific Will Do Rather
Than Submit to Them.
Not n Single Fact Presented to Justify
tlio Jtccent Onslaught.
Work Resumed at the Mines.
Salt Lako telegram: Mr. Bromley, as
sistant to President Adams, who represents
the company in the matter ot tho Rock
Springs difficulty, has been in tho city to
day. Interviewed by a representative of
the associated press, he was asked it the
reports nro true. Ho said in his belief tho
company would turn over the road to the
United States government in event ot a
general strike. Ho said he was, of courso,
not authorized to speak for the company,
but had no doubt thostatement hcretoforo
published was substantially correct, that
sooner than submit to tho demnnd of tlio
strikers thatthoCiiinesoshould be excluded
from tho mines and tho men guilty of mur
der, robbery and arson berestored to their
positions unpunished and almost would
surrender tho management promptly to tho
United States government. He was asked
what he thought as to tho outlook at Rock
Springs to-morrow morning, and said ho
hud notnt any timebelioved the Knights ot
Labor organization would put theniHelves
in so fnlso a position as to undertako to jus
tify the outrngo at Rock Springs by a gen
eral strike. Ho had heard the testimony of
Rock Springs citizens nd miners presented
to him as a representative of the company,
und subsequently in letter form to tho gov
ernment directors, nnd had not been able
to discover a single fact which justifies in
tho remotest degree tho recent occurrence.
Ho was ( onfident the government directors
wero of tho sumo opinion after they heard
the discharged miners, and their friends
and sympathizers present their own views
of the situation, lie wns asked if the com
pany hnd serious apprchonsions as to tho
situation. So far ns ho knew, he eaid, ho
believed tho directors wero perfectly con
tent to suUmit tho question as it now
stands. If a general strike is ordered upon
this stato of facts, it will go out of the
hands of tho management of the company
nnd becomo a question for tho American
people to decide. Tho directors of tho com
pany aro trying to manage its affairs in
such a way ns to give no just causo of com
plaint to any of ita employes, but will not
be put in a position to justify such out
rages as were perpetrated nt Rock
Springs. They will not avoid or evndo
tho issue with tho miners or others of
their employes upon this question. As it
now stands they aro prepared to rcsumo
work in the mines to-morrow morning and
offir employment to nil miners who desiro
to go to work who wero not engnged in the
recent disturbance If any organized at
tempt is mado to obstruct them in tho
peaceablo operation of their mines, tiioy
will do all iti their power to avoid obstruc
tions. When they find thoy nro powerless,
they will simply abdicate and let tho gov
ernment take hold. The government direc
tors E. P. Alexander, of Montana, and
James W. Savage left here this afternoon.
Mr. Bromley, accompanied by Superinten
dent Dickinson, returns to Rock Springs to
await tho issue of tho order to open tho
mines.
Chaycnne dispntch: Work was resumod
at tho Rock Springs coal mines this morn
ing. All the Cliinamen went to work, also
all tho white mechanics engineers, black
smiths, firemen and carpenters employed
in the mino. Tho white coal miners decline
to work and wero paid off. Everything is
quiet aud no moro troublo is anticipated.
TIIE SILVER QUESTION,
Likely to lio a Prominent Issue of tlio
Coming Soislou of Congrons-
Washington dispatch: Representative War
ner, of Ohio, is in Washington. He says it Is!
his belief that congress will pass a comuro
mlsc silver bill at the next session. Refer
ring to tho silver question as lUely to be a
prominent issue ut the coming session of con
gress, tbo Star publishes an article purport
'ng to give the attitude of tbo administration
and congressional leaders ou the subject. It

In control of tho house ou that
question, which Ij tuought to bo tne most im
portant iu the organization of the house, uad
in this respect speaker Carlisle will be jilaced
iu an awkward position In h.s canvass for tho
pcukersulp, and he will have to decide us to
tho organization of the co.u.ie, weights aud
measures committee, wu.eli will have tho
sliver question beforo it. According to gen
eral custom the old chairmen who have served
satisfactorily will bo reappointed at the heads
of their respective committees. Thus Mor
rison will expect to go at tlio head of tho
ways and meaus. while liandall's friends will
claim fur him the approtnauon committee,
liland will expect to be placed at the head ot
tho coinage, weights and measurescommlttee.
He will expect also that tho committee shall
be organized according to his Ideas, so that
the sliver men be In control. Should his ex
pectations bo accomplished tho silver men
would havo tho reins in their own hands and
tho admluistratlon bo Ueleatod at tho outset,
Ou tho other hand, If Carlisle should re. use to
place Blaud In ids old position or thould or
ganize a committee so as to take the power
out of his h. nds, It would have a teudency to
commit tbe house to tho support of the ad-'
ministration beforo any vote had been taken,
aud pluuglng It into a long, warm coutest at
once, lu the faco of these circumstances
it Is important to know what Carlisle's views
on the question are. Tho sliver men natur
ally reckon on his being with them aa op
posed to the New ork baukers, but It Is un-i
derstood he has ktudled tho question care
fully, and is Inclined to think with the presi
dent that there is dancer lu the unlimited,
coinage of silver dollurs. Tho Quest ou is
giving him more uneasiness than the tanll or
anvttdng euo that may come before congress
this winter. For months i at he has been
t.nklnir with men on botbslUdi making a care
ful -Jtn.lv of the situation."
Cowhide and Pistol.
A Bnnker Hill (Bl.) special sajs: A bad
feeling which has existed for a long time
between Hon. A. M. Young, ex-member ol
the legislature, and Dr. 8. P. nale, a retlrod
morchant nnd capitalist of this city, was
renewed In a recent law suit here, in which
Young represented the plninttlf and Hale
wns a witness for the defense. The oppor
tunity offered was a favorable one and be
fore the court could interfere hot words
had passed. The affair culminated to-day
by Thomas Hale, son of the doctor, con
fronting Young as he was coming down
town, and, with a drawn revolver, de
manding retraction nnd satisfaction.
Youii drew his pistol, but Hale had the
drop on him, and compelled him to throw
down his weapon; then advancing he
struck Young a terrible blow with his fist
in the eye. and forced him to retreat to a
door-yard, to the music of a raw-hide
which Hale Industriously plied. The end
Is not yet, and grave tears are entertained
that the outcome will be a serious one.

A rmilLOUS mtUDICAZIHXT.
Ono of thoso tlirilling episodes thai;
occasionally punctuate tho lif oof a miner
nnd illustrate its perils occurred recently
in tho Wallaco and Ferguson mine, nt
Sheep ranch. Tho shnft 1ms two com
pnrtments, and is 400 fect deep. Both
compartments aro used for hoisting pur
poses, signal bells being utilized to cn
nblo tho engineer to distinguish between
tlio divisions of tho shnft. Ono day last
week threo men went down in tho buck
et, their destination being tho 200-foot
level. Ono of tho trio, Thomas Tag
gart, got into tho bucket, whilo tho other
two stood on its top and hold on by the
cable tho "usual way." Arriving at
tho 200-foot station tho two men stepped
off into tho levol, and Taggart had got
partially out of tho bucket when tho bell
of tho other compartment gavo tho sig
nal to hoist. Tho engineer mistook tho
signal and hoisted in tho compartment
in which tho mon had just gono down.
Taggart was in tho act of getting out of
tho bucket had ono leg out and ono in,
in fact when tho latter started up tho
shnft. Tho buckot, with Taggart hang
ing to it, had proceeded but n fow feet
when it tipped over, precipitating tho
unfortunate man headlong down the
shaft. At tho momont of falling in
utter desperation, as a drowning man
grasps at a straw Taggart caught at the
rocky wall of tho shaft with his hands.
By a miraclo of good fortuno ono of his
wrists lodged in a wedge-shaped inter
stice in tho sido of tho shaft, and Tag
gart hung by ono arm, suspended jn
mid-air, with 200 feet of Bpaco beneath
him. No ono can havo tho faintest con
ception of tho unutterable horror of such
a position. Enveloped in impenotrablo
darkness, suspended by ono arm over an
abyss that invited liim to certain death
if his frail support should give way, and
alivo to tlio knowledge that tho descend
ing bucket night precipitate such a ca
tastrophe, Taggart's situation was so
inexpressibly horriblo that its contem
plation makes ono shudder. Luckily,
however, his comrades comprehended
tho situation of affairs and by acting
promptly prevented a tragic ending of
tho accident. Taggart was released
from his perilous position, escaping any
moro serious injury than a sovero strain
of his physical system and mental facul
ties. Calaveras (Cal.) Chronicle.
