SHE IS "VIGILANT" INDEED
The Bcafitifnl Herescboff Yacht Wins
the Second Race.
IT WAS VICTORY ALL THE WAY
Valkyrie does her Beat to Win, but li
Beaten at every Stage of
the Game.
Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 9. For the second
time, and that more easily than the
first, America's cup defender Vigilant
defeated the English representative
Valkyrie. The second race was sailed
today on a triangular course from San
dy Hook under conditions that could
not be mora gratifying. While the vie
tory today was a magnificent one, only
the strongest words of praise can be
said of the gallant but ineffective strug
gle which the Valkyrie made. She was
beaten by throe miles at tbe finish. It
wiuj a iair ana square open sea race,
. . . ,
both boats finding every breath that
was astir. When the Vigilant turned
the flag at the end of the second, leg
she was a good two miles in advanced
Having rounded that mark, then came
another leg, in which the cutter was
supposed to be much the better boat.
The wind was pretty nearly abeam
and the sheets wera hauled aft. It
was a pretty good specimen of reach,
and yet the tight draughted boat
knocked spots out of the deep craft.
There but Is one thing to say about it.
The Vigilant continued to increase her
lead from the time she began the leg
until she crossed the finish line. She
had made on an average just about an
actual gain of a mile on each of the
three legs. It was an ample test, as
has been told on each of. the three
points, windward work, running, and
reaching.. It Is generally admitted that
the Valkyrie is the best boat England
ever sent over to win the America's
cup. She met, however, a yacht that
was so far her superior that her hith
erto admirers all say there can be no
doubt that the Vigilant will win three
straight races and therefore the match
It still remains, however, a question as
to which boat is the faster in a half
gale and a very rough sea. The official
time is:
Vigilant, 3:25.01.
Valkyrie, 3:35.36.
PROGRESS OF THE RACE.
New York, Oct. 9. The second of the
series of races between the British
yacht Valkyrie and the American yacht
Vigilant for the America's cup, was
sailed today. The course today was a
triangular one outside Sandy Hook
lightship. Each leg was ten miles long,
making the entire course thirty miles.
Early this morning the sky was over
cast with a fog on the water, but later
on It cleared away and the fog lifted,
making, the day brilliant. The wind
during the morning was very fitful and
uncertain, blowing part of the time
only six knots per hour, but at the
hour of starting it was blowing an 18
knot breeze. The preparatory gun was
fired at 11:15, and the starting gun
Ave minutes later. The yachts ma
neuvered for position to the northward
of the mark, both carrying mainsail
foresail. Jib and club top-sails. The
Valkyrie again got the best of the
start, crossing the line at 11:25, followed
by the Vigilant five seconds later. Then
the Vigilant set her Jib top-sail and be
gan to close up on the Valkyrie's
weather quarter, both making good
deadway. The wind freshened and the
Valkyrie moved forward, opening the
gap of four lengths which she main
talned without material change until
11:50.
At 12:20 the Vigilant passed the Brit
isher and at 12:30 was an eighth of a
mile ahead. The British claimed that
they wanted a heavy wind to show
what they could do, but the Vigilant
beat the Valkyrie on the wind as badly
as on Saturday she beat her before the
wind.
The Vigilant rounded the first stake
boat at 1:05, and the Valkyrie three
minutes and fifteen seconds later. The
Vigilant rounded the second stake boat
having covered ten miles oft the sec
ond leg in 51 minutes.
The Vigilant wins, crossing the line
at 2:50 p. m. The Valkyrie crossed the
line at 3:02 1-2 p. m.
MAY TAKE A HAND.
Cleveland Will Probably Forestall the
Action of Congress.
' Chicago, Oct 9. A Washington spe
cial says that Cleveland is getting
ready for the Issue of gold bonds, prob
ably 1100,000,000, either under the com
promise silver bill or under the author
ity of the treasury department. It is
stated that the best compromise can
be made with the silver men to con
tlnu the purchase of 2,000,000 ounces of
i liver per month for three years, and
to authorize bonds for the purpose of
increasing the gold reserve to $S)0,000,-
000. The silver men may Insist on the
purchase of 2,500,000 ounces per month.
If they do, they will consent to a pro
vision permitting the national banks to
issue circulation to equal the par value
of their bonds. Cleveland may repu
diate tb proposed compromise, and
may even seek to head It off by an
nouncing that he will provide for bonds
v-nder the authority he already has,
Carlisle's ' emphatic denial of tha re
port from Farls that the United States
Is seeking to arrange for a $100,000,000
bond issue abroad, and his declaration
that no bonds will be Issued by the
democratic Administration, have no
bearing on the situation.
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
Chlcngo's Day at the World's Fair a
' ' Blaze of Oilory.
Chicago, Oct. 9. A perfect autumn
day and the largest crowd that ever
congrsgated at a like gathering in the
World's history combined with all oth
er features to make Chicago day at the
World's. Fair an unprecedented suc
cess. Everything on the program went
oft with perfect success and the only
thing to mar the day or evening was a
number of little accidents inseparable
from the. crushing and jamming of such
a massof people ns congested the
World's Fftlr district. Happily there
were" but few eerlous accidents, al
though a'great many people were pain
fully" bruised In ' the different crushes.
The crowd was larger than that at the
banner day of the Paris exposition.
Every part of the grounds was crowd
ed and the MHway Plalsance was al
most impassible. . Never before has a
holiday - been so generally observed in
Chicago. Every business house of any
consequence was closed and small
stores of all descriptions followed BUit.
In all sections of the city these stores
were closed, and even the thousands of
milkmen caught the Infection and noti
fied their patrons several dayB ago
that they would make but one delivery
today. Many large firms, In addition
to closing their places of business, fur
nished employes with tickets of ad
mission to the fair. Among he more
notable features of the day were the
memorial editions of the Inter-Ocean,
Hi-orct, and Times, newspapers of this
city. .These papers, which were pro
fusely illustrated, . contained elaborate
descriptions of the jrreat fire. So un
precedented was the demand for these
papers, that from an early hour In the
morning they sold on the streets at
premium and by the afternoon people
were paying as high as fifty cents per
copy for them. At the down-town ter
minals all the morning the crush was
appalling. At the steamboat landings
cf the Illinois Central and the elevated
stations, there was a Jam the like of
which has never fcefore been seen here,
vhile along the line of the cable roads
people were packed In a black mass
for blocks. At the grounds the steady
stream seemed to Increase rather than
to diminish towards dark, as thous
ands of additional people began to make
their way In to see the night display.
Never in the history of Chicago was
there such a demand for transportation
facilities as today. The crowd was
handled well. Accidents were few, and
only a small proportion of them were
fatal. Those killed were Charles A.
Clark, of Buffalo, N. Y., struck by a
cable car, and Jas. Malcolm, residence
iinknown, died from a stroke of apo
plexy at the fair. Among those Injured
on tha cable trains in the rush to the
Illinois Central and elevated stations,
etc., were: Mrs. Louisa Rhode, of Gil
man. 111.; Andrew Wells, Laupaca, Wis.
William J. Burr, Hopkins, Ky.; O. T.
Reynolds, and Mrs. Nettle Rogers, of
Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. Matilda Stewart,
of Fonl du Lac, Wis.; Chas. Long, of
Cincinnati; Toby Lansen, of Chicago,
and Policeman Patrick Clifford. None
of these are thought to be fatally hurt.
The-greatest cruih occurredat the
Congress street depot of the elevated
road. The crowd there was simply
terrific, and despite the utmost efforts
of the police to keep them back, the
Jams were 'such that women began to
faint and then a panic followed result
ing in the serious injury of many peo
ple. There were a number of distress
ing accidents on the fair grounds prop
er tonight owing to the awful crush
The hospital record at six showed less
than forty slight casualties. Two hours
later the number had increased to
125. Of these the most were women
who had fainted In the rushing and
surging mass, and who seemed to have
lost ail power of reason. The worst
crush of all was in the early evening
at the east side of the transportation
building, where people became wedged
in a great mass and a panic commenced
Men shouted themselves hoarse to still
the restless throng. Women screamed
frantically, and dozens fainted. At 11:30
p. m. thousands of people were waiting
for trains, and it looks as if It will be
early morning before all of them get
down town.
At 11:30 p. m. the bureau of admis
sions of the World's Fair announced
that the count of today's admissions
cannot be finished before early morn
ing, but they estimate the attendance
at 725.000. The total Indebtedness of
the World's Columbian Exposition has
befcn wiped out

I
Representatiye Bonldle Says What He
Ms of the Elections Bill,
THE CONFEDERATE OONSPIRA0Y
For Ten lnya the Sheeted Cllinst of the
Confederacy have Gibbered about
tlieae Hulls of Congress.
Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 9. In the house to
day Boutelle said:
"Every democratic speech In favor of
Iho elections bill demonstrates it to be
a blow at the fundamental principles
underlying our government. I thought
that the new generutlon would Join
hand, swlth us In building up a com
mon country. For ten days the sheeted
ghosts of the confederacy have flitted
about these halls and gibbered of the
dtfeated conspiracy. The vice-president
of the United States has been ac
cused of unduo sympathy with your
ptruggls to capsize the government, yet
ou do not complain. Not a Union sol
dier sits about the cabinet table." Re
publican applause.
Boutelle then went on to take up the
leeords of the democratic senate com
mittees beginning with president pro
tern Harris, and showing almost with
cut exception that they had served in
the confederate army. He reviewed
the committees in the house from the
speaker down to the committee on pen
sions, showing how they were doinl
nated by ex-confederates. Wilson, he
said, ejected Springer from a loyal
state as chairman of the- ways and
Means committee and Holman was de
posed by the triumphal democracy with
a confederate. He continued:
"I declare here now on my own re
sponsibility as a representative, that
no more mischevlous doctrine, no more
deadly blow at our institutions, at the
essence of our nationality, of our coun
try, can be dealt thar by the denial of
the right of this Imperial government
to cross the borders of a sovereign state
If such doctrines are to prevail, then
the cause for which I and two mil
lions of the northern countrymen fought
when the rebellion was put down, Is
not victorious."
Payne, republican, of New York, op
posed the bill. He detailed at great
length the "theft" of the senate of
New York by democrats in 1890, and
the part taken by Judge Maynard, who
was nominated for supreme Judge by
the New York democrats last Friday
"Why do you demand honest elections,"
he asked, addressing the democratic
side, "when you nomlnnte for the high
est position In the Empire state a crim
inal?" Fitch, of New York, chairman of the
committee which reported the bill, clos
ed the debate for the democrats. He
scored John I. Davenport without ' re
straint. Tucker rose at the close of
Fitch's speech to ask. leave to print
some remarks In reply to an aspersion
upon his father, John Randolph Tuck
er, from Boutelle. Then the house ad
journed. NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.
Washington, Oct. 9. The sennto In

ing four Indian agents appointed from

Is an epithet," said Boutelle, fiercely,
"which can be applied with equol force
ns well to the gentleman from Illinois
as to the gentleman from Maine."
Springer grew white with rage, and
striding fiercely toward Boutelle, re
torted: "I want you to know, sir, you
cannot apply such an epithet to me.."
After some further exchanges, Bou
telle, who was still protesting that the
expression was not unparliamentary,
withdrew It.
