FAST SATAXITA DEFEATED III THE AMURICAX YACHT. The "Weather lVnn Fojrsry, the Ilreee Iiiht und the English Mont llnd to lieTourii In Kins Slam Alive. DARTMOUTH, Sept. 1. Vigilant defeated Satanita to-day In a race for 35, given by the Start Iiay Yachting Club. The breeze was fair at the start, but soon died away, and the air was so foggy that the boats could not be distinguished half the time. Now .and then the fog would lift a little, and a brief glimpse was caught of the two yachts on th:Ir way to the Western mark on the second round. Some tlr.ie later both yachts became becalmed, and they remained so for a couple of hours. Vigilant, however, was a g'ood ways ahead, and succeeded in getting out of the flood tide, where she caught a light southerly air, and lost the haz?, while Satanita lay motionless on a sea of glass. Soon after 4 p. m. Vigilant was descried returning home, beating in against a paltry southwest air, and when she- was within half a mile of the line Satanita was seen to be coming In, towed by a tug. Vigilant lay becalmed, two hundred yards from the line, from 4:15 to 5:o p. m.. and then the sailing committee, seeing that the Satanita had retired, altered the position of the committee boat nearer to Vigilant, thus giving her another line to cross, which she did a few seconds later, and was awarded the prize. K1AU OF SI AM MT DEAD. He 1m Suffering from Effect of Continued I'se of Chloral. JjOXDOX, Sept. 1. The Pall Mall Gazette to-day publishes a long letter from Uingkok, Siam, explaining the recent rumors which reached the United States by steamship, which arrived at Victoria from Hong Kong, that the King of Slam wa3 dead. Uangkok, the writer says. Is in a fever heat of excitement on account of the repeated announcements that the King was dead. Many people believe that the news was sent out in order to test public opinion, and that the real facts in the case have been withheld for state reasons. The members of the diplomatic corps, It Is added, share the general ignorance on the subject, and many of them predict trouble. The British minister. It appears, has requested that another gunboat be sent from Hong Kong In view of the alarming rumors. In high Siamese circles it Is asserted that the King is suffering from fever, the real cause of his ailment being indulgence In chloral, which has long been his favorite drug. Now It seems the King feels the effects of the indulgence with such severity that there Is small hope of his recovery. The royal palace is crowded with nobilities, and for some reason not explained the Crown Prince is not allowed to see the King. The palace women, the letter says, are turning their wealth into diamonds, and the King having elevated his relatives to important positions in the kingdom, the duration of the dynasty is regarded as improbable. American Imprinoiied Without Trlnl. MANAGUA, Ss-pt. 1. It is reported here that he result of the negotiations in London will be favorable to Nicaragua occupying the Mosquito territory. The troops which were sent to the East are returning. Minister Madrlz refused to allow the captain of the British war ship Mohawk to p!ace a naval ofllccr temporarily in charga of the British consulate in Blue fields after lh arrest of Consular Agent Hatch. The American merchants Taylor, Ingram and Browning who were brought as prisoners from Bluefields, were given neither a civil nor military trial, but President Zelaya simply decreed their imprisonment. Owing to the protest of British Minister Gosling, backed by the presence of the English war ship Mohawk at Greytowr?. Vice Consul Hatch and the other Jlritish subjects arrested on the same charges were released on condition that they would not return to the Mosquito territory. Condition of the Connt of 1'uri. LONDON, Sept. 1. Dispatches from Stowe House say the condition of the Comte de Paris is unchanged. He is able to converse with his family at times and to take a little nourishment, but is very weak. The Queen, the Prince of Wades and many of the foreign diplomats at the court of St. James have sent -inquiries as to the Count's condition. The Due D'Orleans has written to the Comte De Haussonvi'.le from Stowe House asking him to request that prayers be offered in the principal churches of France for the recovery of his father. (iladHtone'fc Gift to the Irish Cause. lX)NDON, Sept. 1. The Gladstone-Tweed-mouth contribution of 100 each to the Irish parliamentary fund is causing a sensation In "political circles. Baron Twcedmouth, in forwarding his contribution from Scotland, wrote to Mr. Justin McCarthy, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, saying that he had received a note from. Mr. Gladstone, lnclosintr a check for 100 to be forwarded to the fund. The Unionists are making much of the fact that none of the money which is saf J to be pouring Into the Irish cofiers is going to the evicted tenants. An Aincrlciin' Spree In London. LONDON, Sept. 1.

SENATORIAL. CONVENTION AT SEYMOUR WITH TEX DELEGATES. Jason Brown Spoke it Empty lleneh-en-Munr Democratle Gathering Solemn an Prayer 3IeeIuK. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Sept. l.-The joint I Democratic senatorial convention to nominate a candidate for State t - Senator for ' Jackson and Law rence counties met in this city this afternoon and renominated the present Senator, David II. Ellison, of Laurence county. The convention was called to order by J. H. Matlock, chairman of the Jackson county committee, . and Congressman Brown was elected chairman and; Mr. O'Connell, of Bedford, secretary. A counting of noses revealed the fact that there were only ten out of forty-two delegates, with twenty-nine men and one boy present, Louis Schneck, the Republican candidate for the same office, and other Republicans being among the number. On motion of a Jackson county man, who was solicited to act 'as a delegate, Mr. Ellison was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Ellison was called on for a speech and proceeded in the following manner: "It is wUn a feeling of gratitude and self-respect." When he had finished the sentence he woke up to the realization of its meaning and corrected it by adding the words "great respect," instead of "self respect." He said that he was instrumental in .reipint; to frame the bill which added SiO.ow.uiM worth of taxable property on the tax aupiicate. This announcement will be news to many leading members of the State Senate, who have been claiming the framing of the bill. Alter Ellison had finished there were calls lor Brown, who was ready for the occasion, having pulled a package of manuscript from his inside pocket. He began: . ! thought that I would have enough friends here this afternoon who would call on me for a speech, and so, sitting at my home this morning, I made some preparation." He then went on to tell what the Democratic party had done in Congress, and said that the free sugar, coal and Iron bills which had passed the House would also pass the Senate in December. During his speech he never referred to the candidate who had defeated him for renomination, but showed by the following remarks th.U the wounds which had been indicted had not had time to heal: "You have taken the office away from me which you gave me; but I will make you ashamed of It before long." Having concluded the sentence he laughingly said: "I only said that in fun, you know." At the conclusion of Brown's speech the following resolution was presented by J. A. Gunri, of Bedford, and adopted: "Resolved, That we look with compassion on the inconsistency of the Republican party, which, while loudly proclaiming its opposition to the trusts and corporations, has, nevertheless, named for its. standard bearer in the senatorial district a gentleman who is president of an industry known to be of the special privileged class, and oqe which, until the date of the new Democratic tariff bill, was a beneficiary of the Republican system of 'protection at an average rate of 130 per cent.; a gentleman, also, whose personal worth Is but little short of a million dollars. While we do not condemn a man merely becausa he is wealthy, we think that the Interests of all the. people would not be promoted by sending to the State .Senate a member of the wealthy classes, as a late, sad experience in our own household has taught us that wealth will stand for wealth as against the common interests of the people." The resolution was to act as a slam on Mr. Schneck, the Republican candidate, and the next State Senator from Jackson and Lawrence counties. It is true that Mr. Schneck is president of the Seymour woolen mills, of which he owns one-fifth of the stock, -while forty-two stockholders, nearly half of whom are widows and orphans, own the other four-fifths, and which gives steady employment to 125 people. By being an energetic and go-ahead kind of a man Mr. Schneck has, by honesty and frugality, saved a handsome sum, and is what might be called a well-to-do man, but is not worth anything like the sum stated in the resolution. On the other hand, it is reported that Ellison came in possession of considerable property from his father and from his wife, which he has "run through." The small attendance at the convention is regarded as a sure indication of the early disruption of the "perfidy and "party dishonor" party. PLAY IT BOTH WAYS. Hnjrjrnrrt Brother, of Lafayette, on Two Polltieul Ticket. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Sept. 1. The Tippecanoe county Democrats this afternoon nominated their county ticket. There was no contest, every nomination being made by acclamation The selection of judges was left to the central committee. The nominees were: Senator, Frank Crockett; Representatives, William H. Albough and Thomas Haggard. The latter is a brother of William Haggard, the Republican nominee for Senator. Prosecutor, Arthur Cunningham; clerk, David Craig; auditor, James A. Wall; treasurer, Henry Learning; sherin. Charles Kurtz; surveyor, .Morris Levistein; recorder, Allen Yost; coroner, Emil Schaible; commissioners, Robert J. Williamson and John Biickenstaff. The resolutions Indorsed the State and national administration, denounced the treachery of a "i-small band of dictatorial brigands" and predicted that tariff reform will yet prevail. Bad Story on Green Smith. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLES VI LLE, Ind., Sept. 1. The Democracy of Hamilton county met in this city to-day and nominated a county ticket as follows: Representative, William Cornelius, clerk, Charles Couch; treasurer, Hubert Horton; sheriff, A. J. Correll; recorder, Charles Presser; commissioners, First district, Seth Maker; Third district, J. C. Lower; prosecuting attorney, O. H. P. Brandon; coroner, Dr. Hicks. The ticket is hopeless and was named simply to maintain party organization. Attorney-general Smith was present and addressed the convention. His entire speech consisted of selflaudation. According to his speech he is a bigger man than his party, and is abused bv the Republican press because he Is "a Democrat." Mr. Smith was followed by Secretary of State W. R. Myers, who, after talking fifteen minutes, excused himself, saying he had to catch the train. As there was another train at 5 o'clock, it looks like the crowd did not suit the genial Secretary of State. PopuIiHt Nominations. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind.. Sept. 1.

John Zehner. one of their candidates for com missloner, has declined the nomination, and they are having a great deal of trouble in finding a man to nil the vacancy. This, together with the indorsement of the Populist candidate for Congress, has got them in a wcrsa condition than they were ever in in this stronghold of Democracy. Joint Nonilnatlon.H.

HAIL WAY STATEMENTS WHAT IS SHOWN" I1Y JULY REPORTS OF THE PRINCIPAL LIXES. The St. Paul, the IIIr Four and the Wnbnsh Suffered Heavily in Xet EarningsFew Roads Made Gains. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Enough July railway statements are now at hand to obtain a Just idea of the Chicago strike's influences on net earnings. There is a remarkable diversity in the results. The St. Paul, the Big Four and the Wabash have . suffered heavily. Each of these three companies shows for July by far the largest nst decrease of the year. In each the percentage of operating expenses to gross earnings breaks this year's record, the percentage or the two roads first mentioned running to 10 p?r cent, above the average. On the other hand, the net decrease on the Burlington and the Pennsylvania is the smallest since the exceptional economics of March, and their operating expenses are well below this year's average. Still more remarkable, the Louisville, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Erie make actual net gains ovzr 1893. Part of this singular discrepancy is doubtless due to the irregular distribution of world's fair traffic and expenses in July last year. Yet the figures show that the statements referred to diverge similarly from one another when compared with these of 1S92. Allowing for all the difference in capacity for working economics, the fact is plain that the St. Paul, the Wabash and the Big Four suffered out of all proportion to their fellow-corporations from the railway insurrection. It would be of peculiar interest to learn the actual results with the Rock Island. But this company follows the worst practice imaginable ' in its reports of net earnings, and absolutely no trustworthy information is obtainable. St. Louis Vnion Station. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1. Fully fifty thousand people attended the dedication this evening of the St. Louis Terminal Railway Association's palatial n&x Union Station, which is without doubt the finest and largest in the country, if not in the world. The station, with its immense steel train shed and power house, represents an outlay of over two million clollars, and with the cost of the ground on which the building stands the total value of the property is over $0,000,000. Among those present at the exercises were prominent officials representing some of the principal railroads of the country and everybody of note in the social and business circles of this city and vicinity. The affair was entirely informal, being largely in the nature of a promenade concert, with a little speech-making and a good deal of sight-seeing. Among the speakers were Lieutenant - Governor O'Meara, Mayor Walbridge. President WIN liam Taussig, of the Terminal Association; President Ingalls, of the Big Four; General Manager Williams, of the Vandalia;, xGovernor Francl3 and Gen. -John Noble, ?x 7 Secretary of the Interior. j ' The station .proper Is built ot gray Sandstone in the style of the Italian renaissance, and fronts 4."0 feet on Market street. When the hotel now in the course of construction is comDleted the building will have a frontage of GOG feet, covering the entire space between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets. The depth of the building, including the train shed, Is 750 feet. This shed is m feet wide and 630 feet long. and. with the other building, covers eleven and one-half acres of ground. Thirty parallel tracks, aggregating nearly four miles in length, are under the immense roof. More than twenty acres of ground are occupied by the station and its appurtenances. All the railroads entering St. lxrnis. twenty-two in number, are here afforded ample facilities to handle their entire passenger service. Southern Pacific Loss Exaggerated. NEW ORLEANS. Sept. l.-The Southern Pacific officials here had fud advices from the seat of the storm in Texas up to 11 o'clock to-day, and said that the reports of damage to the track and of the amount of loss to the Southern Pacific had been gieatlv exaggerated. Dispatches Teceived from the general manager, who is in Texas, show that the principal damage suffered by the road near Uvalde, Tex., was the washing away of the iron spans of bridges over Leona and Seco rivers. This was caused by cloudbursts In the mountains near the. head of these streams, which brought down a vast amount of water against the bridges. Although they are a most substantial construction of heaviest ironwork, with solid stone below, the bridges were damaged to such an extent as to prevent the passage of trains until repairs can be made. Wires were repaired to-day and a' temporary telegraph office opened at Seco bridge enabled the officials to get accurate Information from the seat of trouble. Officials say the report that forty miles of track was washed away, and that a million and a quarter loss is Involved, is ridiculous. Rates Steadily Out. CHICAGO, Sept. 1. The proposed meeting of the lines of the Central Traffic Association to be held for the purpose of putting soma little stiffening under the eastbound freight schedule has not materialized as yet, but strong efforts are being made to hurry the meeting along as rapidly as possible. The rates are steadily being cut. and unless the association lines take some action quickly "there Is excellent chance of the demoralization becoming very serious. Business has been so poor and the strike was so expensive that many of the lines fepl that they cannot afford to lose the business at any rates, and if the small fellows keep on playing with he tariff sheets the other lines will be after them with rates which will brine blood out of somebody. All the Eastern lines admit that the situation was never so critical as at the present time, and the last eight month have seen some t!me3 when the east-bound tariff was in great danger of utter collapse. Threateni to Pronecnte Caldwell. CHICAGO, Sept. 1. General Passenger Agent Maloney, of the Macon & Northern road, has Implied very plainly to Chairman Caldwell, of the Vvestern Passenger Association, that he Is thinking of prosecuting the chairman for the part the latter has taken against the Macon & Northern In the recent dispute between thflt line and the association on account of tickets which the association lines claimed were put on the market with a view of scaloing their business to the Pacific coast. Just where the chairman has laid himself open to prosecution Is not stated, however. P.. D. & E. MorfsrnKP to Be Foreclosed NEW YORK, Sept. 1.

Grexit Increase In Wheels for . the Armies of Europe. London Globe. The use of bicycles in all the armies of Europe has been enormously increased during the last two years. In Holland members of the various bicycle clubs who have already attained their twenty-first year and are pronclent in their art are invitea to Join the army under certain advantageous conditions. The number of posts offered is eeventy-tive. The candidates are paid 50 guldens a year for the w r and tear of their machines, are given the rank of corporal, and presented jvith a uniform to be worn during service. When upon duty the blcycfco Sfa allowed 5 guldens a day. From the 1st of March to the 30th of April they receive instruction twice a week from an officer in military affairs. The candidates have to bind themselves to be ready during a space of live years to be called out at any moment by the War Minister, and also to attend maneuvers for at least three weeks every year. At the end of the tirst five years they can enter on another term of five years. These arrangements are said to have met with great -success in Hollard, and it is probable that the number of military bicyclists will shortly be increased. In Portugal bicycles have been introduced In the army, and have met with much success. They 'jvere proved in the great maneuvers which took place at Tanco3 to supply a want long felt. In Spain bicycle instruction in the infantry and rifle corps now forms a specialty. Money prizes are. offered to the best riders. In time of maneuvers the bicycles are used for the carrying of dispatches, posts, etc. In Bulgaria, since 1893, to every six divisions a bicycle corps, consisting of one noncommissioned officer and eight men, is told off. In Denmark a certain number of recruits undergo a course of instruction in bicycling. In France, since 1S03, at least two men in every regiment are told off for bicycle work. Sweden, for some years, has paid particular attention to the use of bicycles in military service. The velocipede corps wear infantry uniform, and are. armed with revolvers. To every division ten men are told off to belong to this corps, and are specially instructed in forepost duty, reading of mllitaYy maps, and in the surveying: of roads, bridges, etc. Movements of St en m or.

JAM AT THE STATION OVER FIVE THOUSAND EXCURSIONISTS LEAVE FOR CHICAGO. A Result of the Rate War Pcnneyl- , vanla Company Sella 4,S35 Tick.eta Some of the Incidents. Last night the Union Station presented an appearance that reminded one very much of the week of the encampment last September. The cauje of it was the mad rush of the people to take advantage of the $1 rate to Chicago and return. While there were not so many people in the depot at any one time as there were during the encampment week, on account of the lack of preparation and the slow movement of the trains, the Jam was far greater. One of the gatemen, who says he has been employed in the depot for twelve years, said that he had never seen the time when the crush was so great. The Pennsylvania Company did not anticipate such a large sale of tickets and had not made arrangements to haul the crowd, with the result that several thousand people crowded the depot from 9 o'clock until nearly 1 o'clock this morning. The company expected to take out about thirty or possibly thirty-five coaches, but when the evening sales of tickets began it was soon apparent that nearly twice that number could be used, with only thirty-three coaches that were available. Negotiations were entered into with the Big Four Company, and fifteen more were secured and four more from other roads. With all of these coaches, a total of fifty-three, made up into five trains, besides eleven coaches on the train that left at non yesterday, It was necessary to stop the sale of tickets before the third train left the depot, and even then quite a number who had tickets did not leave the city, preferring to lose their money rather than to travel in such uncomfortably crowded coaches. Mr. Brunner said that the Pennsylvania Company had sold 4,853 tickets. With the L. E.& W. railroad it was quite different. It stopped the sale of tickets here at 9 o'clock yesterday morning because all had been sold at that time that could be accommodated on the steamer Sioux City. Nine cars were taken out from here by that road, and they were not near full, probably not over 425 people going from here by that route, but enough tickets had been sold at points north ot here to tax the capacity of the steamer. It wasundoubtedly the largest excursion ever taken out of the city, there being about seventy-live coaches in all, and most of them carried nearly as many people standing as were seated. Every platform was tilled as well as all the available inside space. The .cene at the depot was one of the utmost ' confusion for about four hours. While women and babies were not in the majority, the lusty w.Ils of the latter convinced the crowd that even though In the minority they -.vere not an unimportant factor of thi excursion party. Old women, too, were there is no small numbers, but-by far the most conspicuous class were the colored damsels and their beaux. For more than three hours the majority of the crowd were held behind the closed gates waiting for the Pennsylvania Com pany to get its trains into the depot, but with all this Inconvenience very little 111 temper was shoAii. For tne most part the people seemed to rather enjoy the novelty of the jam. Eight policemen and the- full detective force, besides the regular depot officers were on duty to see that the ladies who carry their pocketbooks In a tempting manlier were not disturbed. A lare number of the passengers were of the rougher element of the city and jwo or three knock-down fights occurred on the trains before tley left the depot. In one case the knock-down was a much deserved rebuke for an insult offered a "ady. As a young man was pas?Ing through an already crowded car with a lady in a vain endeavor to find her a seat, a young fellow jumped up and said: "Here, honey, you may have this seat." It did not take her escort ten seconds to knock the young man down and drag him to the door, where with a couple of pirting kicks, he was dumped onto the platform and advised not to enter that car again if he did -not wish even worse treatment than he had recelved. The other fights were for the same cause, and in all cases the defs;dersVf th ladies received the hearty a-jproval of all the witnesses of the affairs. With the exception of thes" few difficulties, for which no arrests wero made, the crowd maintained the bst o: order. S3ver.il enterprising young men did a land oLice bu-ine?s m scalping tickets. No cpubt they bought a few with the expectation that th? crowd would be so great that the company would be compelled to moa the sale, but the most money was made by buying tickets from people who bou-'it , tneir tickets during the day, but after seeing the crowded condition of the ca-s preferred to sacrifice their tickets rather than to suffer the inconvenience of su"h a LripX,A lare number of such tickets were bought for prices ranging from cost down to 2a cents and old again for JLW to J2 The 4 boy who did not have the money necessary for a venture in ticket speculail0mn'eSmnna:SWlth a ?cncm? to make av1Utl m,on.e' Tne cars were all locked when oacked into the depot, but In a great entrance for the small boy.
