AN ABUSED INDIANIAN

Congressman Holman, Against WLon the Most Newspaper Attacks Are Directed. EOLjIAS'S INFLUENCE UPON LEGISLATION. Eis Views Regarding an Appropriatien for the Army and Navy. .As to Nrwaptr Abnte the Junlity of 1'ruit May be Inferred by tire Number of Clul Lying nt tlie Knot of the Tree. Special to the Sentinel. "Washington, 8ept. is. lion. William S. Holman more tlian any other member of the National Congress is awarded the Jionor of perpetual newspaper vituperation. Hut his character as a publicit is so faultless, there is so much of it for those who take a correct or even conservative view of affairs to commend, that the attacks fall harmless at his feet. Fosibly lie is in utter oblivion as to the extent of the swarm, never feeling a sting for the reason that his history from the beginning is without wounds to poison and to-day glows with health. Interviewed by a rejorter of the San Francisco Tall. Mr. Holman lately expressed his views on thesubject of reducing the appropriation for the army and navy. This gives the Washington I'ot what it certainly considers an opportunity to get even by observing editorially. Just why newspaper reporters interview Holman we are unable to conjecture. His petty hobbies are Jew and rlaj. runt, Lverybody kwows the domino he wetirs. Kverybodv ran count with absolute et-rtp inly npon his advocating a pi Cable parfinmi 1 mmess wun reiereuee to ever.' i lion outside ot the remote Hoosicr district iicoestiM ely represents. Why. tnen. should the San Francisco Call repeat to ü with a fatuous air of having just heard of it. that Holman is in favor of rcoueiiisihc axmy and navy appropriations in the next t on pre? Ami why should the ('all allow itself to I; suspei ted of assuming that anybody cart s what lloluian favors.' He cuu always" be relied nn to vote and to argue on the side of a nhabby and stingy uhv of doing t'lins; hut ha ha. made no imprc."iisn on CoiiKresx no far. and inot likely to. An Interview with him, therefore, an Ik- neither newsv nor significant. It would tx' rather too absurd to Rake any utterances of lr. llolman'n the text for a serious argument as to a mutter of national policy. Tfcerc is no occasion lo do more thin remark that the Amoricaa people nant a decent navy and resectable nast defense, and. now that they have un mlnuuistrHtion in which t hey can safely rejoe eondeuce, they intend to have them. The writer of the above in the boldest terms inscribes himself a donkey. There is something so revolting in the animus of these newspaper inlets that curiosity impels us to ask the reason. The whole country aas w itnessed the public life of this eminent Indianian for tlie last twenty-two years without making the discovery here emblazoned. For years the public has attached the largest imjoitance to his utterances, and there is not a more conspicuous figure in the country's politics. More than any other member of tlie National Congress, I have the highest authority for writing, William S. Ilolrnan has iniIiressed and engrafted his views in the legisation of the Republic. He comprehended by intuition and has devoted his life to the advocacy of the whole plan of Democratic halvation. More than to any other publicist for having rescued the Government from the profligacy of Republican rule, and brought it back "to the purity of the fathers, the lienor is due him. A study of the Congressional Record reveals that the central idea of every argument employed to dispossess the party of sioil, waste and extra vara nee ' was lir-t acted upon by Mr. Holman. In writing that he represented all that was best and most hoieftil in our politics, and that a proper a ppreiation of actual merit would elect him to the lresider.cy, Mr. Dana was correct. Though scholar' y and a book man, as familiar with what is written of the occult sciences as he is with the details of legislation, be has never Hashed upon current literature as a reformer, a free trader or a protectionist, nor has he choen to distinguish himself by displaying ä glittering individuality in any of the side shows. On the contrary, he has moved within his party, bringing it up to his views, and. without poising as a political leader, received tlie silent acknowledgement of hi" contemporaries of promising the highest order of leadership. To show the full extent of Mr. Holman'a impression on Congress, vast volumes mitrht lie written, but a lew paragraphs will sutliee for this article. Of this the old rule advantage was taken to vote away in the last days of a session of Congress the vast sums of money that exerted an influence so inijnoral upon the country, fostering tlie ehernes that have disgraced our history, ami leading to the destruction of records. It jeads as follows: Xo appropriation hall be rejortcd In such general appropriation bills or h In order as an .amendment thereto, for .any expenditure not prVioiiMy authorized br law Heptembcr I I, lsT.i unless in cnniimirJoji for impropriations for melt public, works ami objects as are already iu progress, and for the contingencies for carrying n the several departments of the oernmeul.

The rate that closed auJ hermetically waled tbe opening into this character of fraud paying private debts out of the National Treasury is of Mr. Hoi man's writing and reads as follows: Nos;.roprtatioti ihall reported In any generalappropriattou bill or be In order as anameudnicnt tlM-reto, for any expenditure not previously auttorled by law, uulens In continuation of atprt'priation for ucn p'it)!! works and nbje-! aa are already In protren.

There is nothing ftiixhy in thnt. but it hai a bitory telling larjrfly of public e iiomy; and there arc Kcpublicans of I'residcntial aspirations who would rather have the honor of its authorship than to possess Jay Oould'a Ix-st paving railroad. This Indianian who ha done so much to the honor of the Ktat can. certainly take care of himself on the army and navy appropriation. The following extract from a h he delivered In the House nm years ago doubtless expresses his sentiments today: (htr Isolated poitlon gave n ample ecurlty apslnst foretirn invasion. We derived still greater M-curity from Die nature of our Institutions of government. W wero entering upon a new cccr, ;tta ucJtuons q llo cwcfuQvau of tLo

To establish a nation of freemen was the purpose of the new era. In departing forever from the Kuropean policy of conquest, injustice and ambitiui, we were secure trotn the beginning.

With the lobbyists, the clerks, the hangers-on, the people of schemes, wanting something for nothing the whole tribe at Washington, that, like the camp followers, come out on the evening of a battle to pillage the ik kets of the deal Mr. Holman is very unpopular. That party regards him, in the language of the l'ost, as "the great Indiana obstacle," and it is strong among the local papers and correspondents. Hut there is another party, like the Lawrenceburg Congressional 'fhs'.rict, that takes a different view. J.xe Ti'RPE.v.

THE OCEAN COURSERS.

The Clcccst Yacht Race ca Record, for tha Distance, Ever Sailed. Th- KiiRlisli Vneltt Senesta Kalrly Kenten On ller C hosen AVintl, nml Led ly the I'tiritan, TlmuKh the Latter Was sailetl in n ifserabte Planner. New Yoi;k. Sept 10. ' The cup stays in America." These words were spoken by exCommodore James D. Smith, as the Puritan's main boom passed the finish-line oil' Scotlaa.l Lightship to-day, after the closest contest ever sailed over any forty-mile course. The Gcnc-ta was beaten one minute, thirty-tight seconds, corrected time, and two minutes and nine seconds actual time. The course was twenty miles to leward, and return from the Stotlat.d light ship. The wind being west, northwest, the yachts were .sent away on an east southeast course dead before the wi id. In this run the cutter beat the sloop one minute ami Uventy-one seconds. From there to the finish they male but one short tack of a mile and two lorn? legs of nine and ten meles, respectively, in half a sale of wind, w hich changed to north-northwest soon after the outer mirk was changed. In this work the Puritan gained three minutes and thirty seconds from point to point. Leaving l'ier ', East Hiver, at ! o'clock, the committee boat. Luckenbat h, flying the flag's of the New York, Mistern ami Royal Thames Yacht .Clubs, steamed down the bay to Staten Island, taking on board there Mr. L. P. Bayard, of the Zawanhaka Yacht club, and Mr. Ruland, of the I'rescilla. There were also on board ex-Commodore Janus D. Smith, New York Yacht CWj; l'ranklyn Bassford, the marine artist: Mr. Roosevelt Schuyler, Gustav Urahn, A. Cas Can Held, of the cutter Isis; Charles C. Haight, schooner Crusader fleet; Oliver King and Herman Leroy, t'nioti Club; .1. H. Longstreet, Fdward Poland Rev. Mr. Bcnjamine. The sky overhead was clear as a bell, but out over the New Jeisey hills in the westword Heeey white clouds were rising, piving promise of an increase in the force of the moderate breeze from the west.-nortli.vest then blowing. There was one solitary spectator on the blulls of Fort Wadsworth as the boat passed through the Narrow?, where there had been thousands on Monday, t see the rinish of the first race. There was no time lost in preparation to-day. When the Judge's boat arrived off Sandy Hook theGenesta and Puritan were both under weigh close up to Scotland lightship, the starting oint. As soon as Mr. Schuyler, representing theGenesta on tlie Puritan was put on the latter yacht, and Fleet Capta n Robert Center boarded the Genesta to do similar duty for the Puritan people, the tug Scandinavian, in charge of Messrs. S. V. Lippincott and Mr. Oisen. was sent awav to log out the twenty-mile course east southeast to leeward, and at 10:4" the committee boat anchored with the lightship bearing south-southwest, distant l.vj yards. They formed the imaginary lino över which the yachts were to pass. At this time the ttcam yachts Electra, Utowana. stranger, Corsair, Vision, Sentinel, Palqnea and Skylark had gathered to the southwest of tlie judges' boat. The steamers Grand Republic, Taurus, H. T. Bava and the Ohl iVjniinion line Steamship Uichmond, their decks fairly black with enthusiastic spectators, lay close hy with enough rtajis Hying to supply a couple of circuses. The breeze was freshening every moment, and the prospect of a grand race to leeward, where the yachts could carry their spinnakers, was nutticient to create the utmost excitement. When the preparatory whistle was given at 11 o'clock, the Puritan lay one-fourth of a mile astern of the Judge's boat, heading to the southeast, with stiinnaker boom down to starboard, main sheet hauled aft, and jib sheet to windward. One minute before the starting whistle was blown the Genesta came tearing across the tug's stern. Those who were watching the movenuntsof both were ptsitive she would cross the line before the signal was given, and breathlessly awaited the result. Just then the Puritan's main sheet was paid out. Captain Crocker put her helm down, and she came for the line. So finely had the cutter's "skipper" calculated the time, that while the starting whistle was blowing, she shot acros, her crew running hcrimniensc spinnaker aloft as she went over. Away she flew to leeward, leading the Bokton sloop by forty-five seconds. The latter broke out her hig balloon jib ai she crossed, and set her spinnaker in a minute after. What a grand picture thes two eliitper yachts presented as they dashed along w ith their pyramids of snow-white canvass towering above their narrow hulls. All the eteam yachts kept well to leeward of the racersand the smaller ones were juzzled to keep pace with them. The ollictal time of the start was, Genesta 1 1 :0ö:l.t, . Puritan 11 : lö. The Puritan soon began to close the gap made at the start. She kept directly in her antagonist's wake until nearly up with her, when he hauled out to eastward so the fiencsta could not keep oil' and prevent her passing without gybing. Atll:.."i she took in her balloon jilt-top sail and stay sail, and at 1 1 : 1" she had passed out ahead of the Genesta about half a length. Her spinnaker was not drawing well at this time, neither was her main sail, for the wind was, as an oid sailor remarked, "at themain boom end." Captain Carter recognizing this fact, took in his spinnaker at I'J m., gybed Imt main boom, dropped her spinnaker boom and set the hail onortM.le, all in live minutes. She immediately drew ahead of the sloop, and in half an hour had passed her. This was a surprise, but what was coming was a greater one. Fifteen minutes later the latter was a good one-fourth of a mile in the lead, with her great white Kpinnakur bellying out in the stiff breeze. The Puritan pcnpU would not gybe, although the splnnukcr was not drawing and she was steadily dropping astern. Down came the Genista's club topsail at '2:W, the Puritan's coming in a moment later. The cutter set a working topsail, but the sloop set no other. At 1 p. in. the Genest.-' spinnaker boom was lowered on deck and everything made nug for the long beat to windward. The l uge passenger boats and steam yacht lit! gathered off the. "outer mark" and all eyes wire uon the two boats as they came bounding along. All thought then that the Gcnesfa was a winner. The odlcial time of rounding was, GenesU l;0':.tO, Puritan 1:07 :.;!. The latter with her milnsall hauled flat oll' (ybee as she rounded, and a minute after she was closo haub-d on the starboard tnck, stumling to the southward. The Puritun made a wide turn which placed her further to leeward, and now commences a grand struggle for the finish, twenty miles to the windward. Black threatening cloudi appeared In the north west, presaging more wind for the boats. The I'tirilan went about first at 1 :2:, find the Genesta a minuto later. Captain Bracken thought t prudent to house the Puritan's top masts; at 1 :''. as the wind was coming fast and heavy, while an ugly sen was fast rising. Into which the yachts plunged. Three light leech llneson the Puritan's jib were led aft. and when hauled taut by General Fuino uiUth Improved the et vi thg sail.

Out from the northwest at 1:1 came a spiteful squall of wind, whistling through the shrouds of the boats, dashing tlie green waves into foam and sending the spray in sheets high over the yachts to windward. Thoe on the small tugs w ere drenched with the heavy seas that buried them. Every one thought the cutter's top sail must come in. Down she went, heeling over as she felt the force of the s,uall. till her lee rail was lost to sight in a 4niother" of glittering foam; over yet, till fhe water was washing up her skylights amiddiin and there was the limit. Captain Carter hehl her to her course, then about north by east one quarter, for the wind had hauled to north north west, and she seemed to spring through ' the choppy seas which were topped with seething "white caps'' as fur to windward as the eye could reach. The Puritan was making excellent weather of it at this time and was steadily "atirg" up through the Geneva's lee. Jut Iveiore she tacked at 2:17, she was a full half mile on tne Genesta's lee bow. Instead of t icking w hen she could have crossed the Gine.-ta's bow she kept on, thereby, the j:iimitue say, losing much valuable ground. The Geneva went about at 2:H. Tnis stretch to the westward proved to be the last oik1, as the wind favored the yachts so they were able to fetch the finish. When Captain Crotker found he could easily fetch the light-ship he started the sloop s sheets aad gave her a '"good full." She was then about half a mile on the Genesta's weather quarter, who also had his main sheet starred a tritle, but was "pointing'' very high. At .":l"tthe Puritan ktpt broad off, and came boiling' down for the Genesta's weather evidently intending to blanket her. Captain Carter, seeing tiiis, but the cutter's helm down suddenly and shut the Genesta into the wind across his rival's ster?:, and took a w indward position himself, although he lost fully three minutes by the operation. There was a "luffing" match for a tew moments, until the Puritan got far edouh ahead. They were then at 3:0.1 about three and a-half miles from the finish. The water was getting smoother every moment, while the bieeze continued strong. The Puritan increased her lead steadily, and crossed tlie finish line at 4:00:15, while the fleet of steamboats gave her a rousing reception, Mr. Forbes and the crew responding heartily. The Genesta crossed the lire at4:l0:lf), only two minutes anel twenty-four seconds behind her. The yachts looked grand as they dashed across the line. Both were taken in tow by the tugs Scandinavian and Lückenbach, and cast off at their Siaten Island anchorage at o'clock. The race was over, and tlie America s eup was still retained on this side of the Atlantic. In speaking of the race, ex-Commodore Sruth, wiio has seen every iniiortant race for the last thirt y years, said: "It was the grainiest race ever seen in the world, and il the Puritan had been properly handled, she would have beaten the cutter more yet." The following table gives the actual results of this interesthig race: I'nritan. (Jenesta.

Lcvinge said nothing during the race, but watched its progress with interest. B. Webb and Captain Carter denounce the Puritan's action in bearing doTn upon them as "sharp practice," and sdv that it would not be permitted if racing in English waters. They think she tried to crowd them off their course. Mr. Tarns, of the Kt.a Committee, and other prominent yachtsmen said last night that it was folly to talk about sharp practice. Captain Crocker "bore away" because he held a windward position, and in making his course to the light ship was able to do so. TWELFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

ROMELIAN REBELLION

Singular Apathy on tte Part of Foreign Representatives at Philopopolis In Xot Not if j inj; Their Respective Govern mentsof the Appronehiiig Kitting French Diplomats Say it is a Selienie for the Partition of Turkey. Lonhon, Sept. 21. An interview had on Tuesday last at Constantinople with Mr. Israel Washburn, of the Robert College, an American institution on the Bophorous, Is published to-day in connection with the news respecting the insurrection in Fastern Roumelia, and shows a singular apathy on the part of the foreign representatives in Thilopopolis in not notifying their respective governments of the mutterings constantly heard of the then approaching rising. Mr. Washburn, who has just returned from a two-months' tour of Bulgaria and Roumelia, says: "1 heard more talk of a union among the people of Roumelia than I did in Bulgaria. The question of a union was constantly forced upon the Roumelias by increasing national interests, and the burden of suporting two governments which considerably oppressed the people. Besides industries were injured in Roumelia, and sometimes totally destroyed by a customs house artificially dividing the frontier between ltoumelia and Bulgaria, and the parties preventing free trade between the two States. If the present state of affairs continues, it will inevitably make trouble in Kurote. Russia is losing her inflence in t.e Balkan States, and although the Bulgarians are grateful to Russia for gaining them independence, they have since bitterly resented several attempts made by Russian agents to control the administration. I think the Bulgarians have a perfect genius for administration, and while allowed their independence, the Bulgarians would willingly ally themselves with Russia, but would ally with Austria against Russia rather than lose their independence. The Bulgarians are steadily at work building roads and railways and making other public improvements It is considered strange, in view of the fact that Mr. Washburn appears to be so well acquainted with the disaffection of the people of Kastern Roumelia after a two months' trip, that some diplomats appeared surprised at the news of the insurrection. The Standard, commenting on the rising in Kastern Roumelia, says: "We can not believe that the powers interested were ignorant of what was coming. If they were, the greatest troubles may arise. England has only the faintest interest, while Austria and Germany arc bound to co-operate in keeping the Berlin treaty intact, and it remains to be seen how it will affect Russia. If the treaty powers are acting in concert the Sultan is helpless." There was a heavy fall to-day in international securities, caused by the events of the past few days in Kastern Roumelia.
