AMERICA AHEAD.
The Volunteer Easily Beats
the Thistle.
F1EST RACE OF THE SERIES.
The American Yacht Comes In Twelve
Minutes Ahead of Scotch This
tle at the Finish.
Naw York, Sept. 27. The fickle god
of the wind seemed disinclined to favor
the rival yachts this morning with any
bat light breezes, and the public disap
pointment was fully as manifest as public
interest has been in what is to be the first
of three races between the Scotch yacht
Thistle and the American yacht Volun
teer for the possession of the American
cup. The last finishing touches had been
put upon the yachts and everything su
perfluous removed from both racers even
to the private dunnage of tlte crew. The
conditions were extremely favorable to
the Scotch cutter. She has always done
her .best work in light winds, and there
appears small chance of there being any
thing more than a light wind to-day.
There was considerable betting on the
race and it was governed by patriotism in
almost every cswe, odds ranging from ten
to nine down to two to one in favor of the
Volunteer.
When the Thiatle and Volunteer reach
ed the vicinity of the starting line there
were over 200 yachts and steamboats
about them. Thousands of people were
straining for a glimpse at the racers, but
even at Fort Wadsworth, where a great
many ladies gathered.he yachts could
be only dimly seen through tlte heavy
mist.
At noon there was a breeze of about
eight miles an hour, coming in puffs,
from the south. The mist was clearing
slowly, and the racers began maneuver
ing for a start. The official signal gave
to them to get ready was fired at 12:22.
Ten minutes later the Thistle crossed the
line, closely followed by the Volunteer.
Both yachts were close hauled in the
port tack, each carrying main and club
topsails, small jib topsails and jib and
staysails. The Thistle's lead was small,
but she seemed to move the most rapidly
in the zephyr. The little wind blowing
was quite variable, veering to went. The
Thistle at once tacked to starboard, head
ing for the Long Island shore. The re
sult was that she lost her wind entirely,
while the Yankee held the light air. At
12:44 the Thistle seemed motionless. A
few minutes later she began to move
slowly. The Volunteer had in the mean
time captured the lead per ha pit three ca-
bie lengths.
The Yankee heeled along gracefully,
making good time and increasing her
lead. There was a magnificent fleet of
sail and steam barges behind the racers,
stretching in an almost unbroken line
from the shore, making the finest pict
ure ever seen in the boy of New ork.
As the Volunteer approached fort Wads
worth great cheers ment up from the
throats of thousands of spectators. The
fleet took up the lin and gave her a
rousing send oft. She was going very
fast ; and the Thistle had a good full, but
her nails somehow failed to draw like tlte
Volunteer's. Following them came a
great fleet of excursionist. Spectators
were unanimous in crediting the Yan
kee's long lead to superior seamanship
in holding to the first tack and catching
the breeze off the shore.
Half an hour after pausing Fort Ilcads
mouth, the Volunteer was almost invisi
ble in the haze and distance. She had
apparently increased her lead to at least
twe miles'. When another half nour had
elapsed the Thistle was following along
in a way that promises a close finish.
The Thistle, however, seemed fated to
misfortune, and when the Volunteer
headed for Sandy Hook lighthouse, tlte
Scotch yacht was again two miles in the
rear.
Highlands, 4 :20 p. m. The Volunteer
is approaching the point of Sandy Hook.
. She is about eighteen minutes ahead.
Niw York, Sept. 27. Tlte Volunteer
won, crossing the line at 5 :32.
Tlte Thistle finished at 6 :44.

THIS GREAT ENCAMPMENT.

St. LoulHow the Itajr IHtwaed.
St. Loos, Sept. 20. A national salute
from Camp Waaliington heralded the
dawning of dav this morning for the
veterans of the 'Grand Army, and aroused
the visitors and the committees whose
duties called them to the early trains.
A this mitt hanging over the city began
increasing, and developed into a steady,
disagreeable rain. However, the trains
from the West and Sooth poared in
great crowds of people as steadily as the
rain dripped through the clouds, and by
noon the railroads had brought ia 10,000
citizens and soldiers, and as many more
of tlitir households. At the uepota and
camps all seemed confusion, bat order
quickly assumed command, and the
search lor old regiments and friend at
once began.

Hotrrox, Tea., Sept. CG. Owing to
reports that 200 negroes are under arms
in Matagorda county, and that the sher
iff of Matagorda and Kickley counties
are"J moving on them with a posse of
white men, the Houston light guards
this afternoon received orders to leave on
a special train for the scene. The upris
ing of negroes had its origin in the mur
der of a negro constable who had a
warrant for the arrest of a white man.

NEW YORK DEMOCRAT!!.
They Doa 811k Hata and Gold Watches
' and II le Them to Saratoga.
Saratoga, Sept. 27. The democracy
have posession of tlte town. Summer
visitors have flown and the event of the
day for everybody was the opening ses
sion of the democratic state convention
which began at noon. The famous
watering place presented a striking con
trast to its appearance two weeks ago
when the labor convention was held.
Then the crowd seemed more or less
poverty stricken, and it was openly
asserted that the one day convention was
due to that fact. To-day, however, the
opposite was the truth. The silk hat, the
cigar, the gold watch were everywhere in
evidence of money enough, while will
ingness to spend it was apparent on all
hands. Two weeks ago not a single
band of music was in town except the
small orchestras at the hotels. To-day
there were dozens, and the street were
gay with splendid' marching organisa
tions. George Raines, of Rochester, was
unanimously chosen temporary chairman
of the convention. His allusions to Hill
and Cleveland were greeted with ap
plause. Somebody called for three
cheers for Hill but they were not (riven.
His condemnation of foreign proprietor
ship of land and allusion to General
Grant were also applauded. The chair
ruled that all contests, of which there
were a trreat many, must be referred to
committees of credentials.
While committees were being an
nounced, a dispatch from the Associated
Press was received announcing the fact
that the Volunteer was ahead in the
yacht race, and was gaining every mo
ment. It was greeted with great ap
plause, the convention rising and giving
three cheers.
A resolution was offered as follows :
"Resolved, That the laws of assess
ment and taxation should be readjusted
and reformed, so that all property shall
relatively bear its share in the support of
the government, and relieve farming and
kindred pursuits from disproportionate
burdens imposed under the present laws,
and that the national legislation should
be so modified and amended that agri
culture shall no longer be embarrassed
or impaired by onwise discrimination."
The convention then took a recess till
evening.
THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT.
The Rata Interferes aad Cannes a Post
ponement of the Re lew.
Sr. Locis, Sept. 27. Owing to a steady
rain this morning the Grand Army re
view was postponed till 10 o'clock to
morrow. The clords that settled over the city
Sunday morning have apparently come
to stay, and the disagreeable drizzle, the
mnd and the moisture laden atmosphere
effectually crushed all hope of parade to
day. This left the comrades to seek their
own amusement, and various bead
quarters, post halls and camps were
crowded with them. Hotel halls and
rooms were jammed, while in the corri
dors bands of music made strenuous
efforts to dispel the gloom. Ixwig lines
of people tramped the streets and growled
at the weather. The lat of the line had
scarcely retired lat night before Jhe ad
vance were out for to-dav. n all the
railways leading into the city excursion
trains were side tracked, while those
brought through the tunnel jammed all
the tracks. Nevertheless, no snch crowd
as ever handled in this city in so short
a time.
THE GREAT PARADE.
The G. A.
R. Veto ana la Line -Gen. fcher-
i mm la the Line.
Sr. Lot i. Sept. 28. Greater volume
of rain poured down this morning on the
veterans of the G. A. R. than on any day
since their arrival. Everything was
drenclted, including the ardor of the
soldiers and civilians as well. Thousands
of veterans, after wailing so long in the
vet and mod to realize the promieesof
the signal service officer for weather to
day, started home ; yet there were untold
thousands left, and Grand Marshal Grier
issued an order to" pre pare for the parade,
commanding the army to move at 10
o'clock without fail. When the order to
fall in for parade waa received at the
various camps and headquarters the men
tumbled out of their tents and rooms and
prepared for the battle with the elements
with rubber coats, umbrellas and trou
sers rolled np. It wis 1 o'clock when the
column formed, and Grand Marshal
Grier ordered an escort of mounted po
lice forward. Then followed the grand
marshal with his chief of staff, Gen. A.
J. Smith and aids; Logan post of St.
Louis mounted and Springfield, Mass.,
battalion of special escort to the commander-in-chief,
. who followed a few
yards behind, bowing to the crowds who
greeted him with applause. His staff of
one hundred men mounted preceded two
hundred carriages moving three abreast,
in which were the governors and other
honored guests. In the lead was one oc
cupied by Mayor Francis and Gen. W. T.
Sherman. Although closely sheltered
from the rain and the sight of the crowds
on the sidewalks, they soon found where
this old commander was, and cheer upon
cheer marked his progress, while fre-
auent groups of men would rush from
ieir shelter to the carriage door to
grasp bis hand. Then followed di
visions of the Grand Army, ten in all,
composed as follows: First department,
Missouri; second department, Illinois;
third department. Wisconsin, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio ; fourth department. New
York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,Maine,
New Jersey and Virginia; fifth, Calif or
nia, New Hampshire, Vermont, Potomac
and Maryland; sixth, Indiana; seventh,
Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado; eighth,
Kansas; ninth, Michigan, Delaware.
West Virginia, Washington territory ana
Kentucky; tenth, Arkansas, Florida,
Gulf, Dakota, Oregon, New Mexico, Mis
souri, Montana, Rhode Island, Tennessee,
Georgia, Texas, -Utah, Idaho, Arizona.
Brigade of naval veterans and sons of
veterans. Here and there a post armed
with muskets or a drum corps broke the
monotony of the line. As the column
passed under the beautiful stained glass
transparency of General Grant on Fourth
street, between Locust and St. Charles,
all the men uncovered their heads and
passed by in silence.
MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS.
They Adopt Their Platform aad
Momi-
. aata the Stat Ticket.
Boston, Sept. 28 .-The main topic of dis
cussion among the delegates of the repub
lican , state convention which began here
to-day was the nomination for attorney
generalship. It seemed from the outset
to be practically settled in favor of Hon.
Albert Epplebury. The choice for
chairman of the convention fell with
great unanimity upon F. Rockwell, of
Iitts5eld. The platform was adopted
without a dissenting voice. It lauds the
protective tariff, recommends a reduction
of internal revenue taxation, asks con
gress, to consider the tariff on sugar and
to improve the administration of custom
laws, condemns the suppression of re
publican votes in southern states and
election frauds in northern cities, de
mands further extension of the national
civil service law, arraigns President
Cleveland for an array of shameful dis
missals and disgraceful appointments
and for indorsing the spoils machine in
Man land and elsewhere, declares that the
democratic party in Massachusetts stands
with that party throughout the country
in support of the doctrine "to the victors
belong the spoils," demands cessation of
compulsory coinage of silver, asks pass
age cf a national bankrupt law and pro
tection of the fishery interests without
yielding national rights, demands con
tinued enactment of progressive temper
ance measures and favors submission to
a vote of the people of a prohibition
amendment to the constitution. After
th adoption of the platform Senator
Hoar took the platform and in a brief
address nominated Oliver Ames, of ras
ton, for governor. Tlte convention at
once nominated Ames by acclamation ;
for lieutenant governor, J. Q. A. Bracket! ;
secretary cf state, II. B. Pierce; state
treasurer, Alanson W. Baird. A. J.
Waterman was nominated for attornev
general, after which the convention ad
journed.

teetnra of the Platform.
Saratoga, Sept. 28. The democratic
state convention, previous to beginning
its regular session to-day, was called to
gether for a moment for the purpose of
notifying aJI members that the commit
tee on resolutions meet in ex-Governor
Dorsbeimer's room at once. This was
received with surprise, and was thought
to foreshadow trouble with the
platform. particnlsrlT itb the civil
service reform tUnk. U hen the conven
tktn session proper began nothing was
done beyond making the temporary oca
cers permanent. That done the conven
tion took a recess. Subsequently the
committee on credentials reported di rid
in z tlte two seats of New York citr
evenly between the county democrat.-v
and Tammany. Tlte rput was unani
mously adopted, ana Irving Hall wa
left without a single representative on
the floor of the convention.

A MOST COLOSSAL SWIXDLE.
For 250 Miles not a Trace of Boad

Claims the Land.
Albany, Or., Sept. 28. The govern
ment commissioners sent out to investi
gate the reported fraudulant obtaining of
lands by the W. V. A C. M., or Lebanon
wagon road company, were in the city to
day en route to Portland, having com
pleted a tour of investigation over the
road. The commission, consisting of
Gen. Wharton and Commissioner Mc-
Namee, is accompanied by Elisha Barnes
and J. C. Lucky, of Prineville, who are
interested in the lands in question. The
commissioners have obtained 1000 pages
of legal cap paper, full of evidence taken
at different points along the route. They
will meet In this city Friday to take
depositions. Mr. Barnes, who has ac
companied the commissioners over the
entire route, says they have found that
for a distance of 250 miles not a trace of
road wts constructed, yet the company
claim three sections per mile. He be
lieves it to be the most cotlossal land
grabbing fraud ever perpetrated in the
state, and one which if not corrected will
work a great injury to settlers in Linn
and Crook counties. The findings of the
commission will be awaited with interest.

A Letter From Wallis Xasli Re
ferred to President T.
Egenton Hojrsr-
The following letter from Wallis Nash,
2d vice president of the Oregon Pacific,
dated at Corvallis, Sept 22d, was received
yesterday by tlte citizens committee :
"I am in receipt of the letter of the
committee appointed by the citizens of
Salem to confer with representatives of
the Oregon Pacific railroad, in reference
to making connection with Salem from
some point on our road, which letter is
dated the 22d inst.
I have already submitted a retwrt to
the president of the company, to Col. T.
hgenton Hogg, In ew i era, upon the
matter, and look for instructions from
him at any early day. Meanwhile I am
instructing our engineers to make a re-
connoisance of tlte proposed line, so as
to gain an idea of the distance, the olmta
cles to he encountered, and tlte probable
cost. 1 shall hope to communicate with
you on this subject at an early day, and
trust that meanwhile you will continue to
enlist all possible sentiment in favor of
the enterprise."
An answer from President Hogg can
hardly be expected for ten days or two
weeks. In the meantime the citizens of
Salem should not lose sight of the im
portance of this branch to the business

schedule of the Oregon A California road
there is now not the slightest doubt,
Tracklaying will be finished through the
Siskiyou tunnel by the latter part of next
week, and the stage ride between the two
ends thereby shortened to ten or twelve
miles. The new schedule will then lie
made. A prominent official of the O. A
C, who was yesterday approached on the
matter by a Statesman reporter, gave it
as his o(inion that the overland expres
for Caliurna would leave Portland at 9
or 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and the
Eugene express trains will be extended
to Roseburg. The southbound train will
leave Portland about 4 in the afternoon,
and the northbound train will teave

However, the matter cannot be deter

Cobk, Sept. 23. William O'Brien, ed
itor of United Ireland, who is charged by
the government with sedition under the
coercion act, was taken to-day from the
Cork jail to Mitchellstown, where the
alleged seditious language was used, to
stand trial before the court there. As he
left the city under guard of a detach
ment of hussars and police he was loudly
cheered. Upon their arrival at Mit-

trMnwndotis clieering by a large crowd
which had gathered to welcome him.
The crowd manifested great excitement,
but there was no indication of disorder.
O'Brien was immediately conveyed by
his guards to the court room. Many En
glish ladies were present to witness the
trial, and Mr. O'Brien was the recipient
of bouquets from a number of them.
When the case was opened several
policemen were called as witnesses for
the government. They testified from
memory as to O'Brien's language, which,
they said tended to incite his listeners to
violence. During the hearing of this
evidence a procession armed with sticks
and headed bv a wagon carrying a band
marched into the town from the country.
The hussars stopped the wagon, but al
lowed the other art of the procession to
proceed. The procession took up a posi
tion close to the crourt room, but order
