The victory was surprising, for the race was sailed in weather that, as a rule, has Just suited the Constitution, the wind never exceeding a 12 knot gait and the sea being comparatively smooth, with the exception of a little tumble after ttaee rock, three and a half miles from the start off Sarah's ledge, had been rounded. Ordered. Washington, July 2tD.—James Gray, aged 38, is under*arrest here, pending investigation by tue police, who sus peet that he is the burglar connected with the Fosburg murder'mystery. An affidavit made before a New York (hief of .police by a woman friend of a man named "Lew" Gray, a professional burglar, states that Gray left her in 8pringfield, Mass.. the day of the Fosburg murder, and upon his return told her he had to shoot some one in order to get away. James Gray, the man arrested here, is unable to give a satisfactory explanation of his late movements. Two weeks ago he was sent to jail here for stealing a hat While there he took such intense interest in the proceedings of the Fosburg trial that suspicions were aroused against him. When released tnis morning he was rearrested. New York, July 20.—Charges and countercharges against officers of the marine corps of the United States ur® being sifted by a special court of Inquiry, which held its tirst session yesterday at the uavy yard in Hrooklyu. Pittsburg, July 20—The peace mission of M.' M. (Jarlaud, who went to New York on behalf of the conservative element iu the Amalgamated association, has failed. Mr. Garland was unable to secure from the steel manufacturers any terms on which a settle incut could be reached. They would not recede an inch from the attitude they have taken, holding that the strikers' leaders precipitated the fight, aud peace negotiations are off. Qustavus C. Helming, a consulting engineer, who supervised the construction of the section of the bridge on which the breaks occurred, declared yesterday that the bridge should be built anew. He said that officials were warned at the time the bridge was built that the materials were faulty, but their Use was insisted on to save cost. Washington, July 20.—Secretary Long of the navy department yesterday announced the names of the three officers whom he had selected to Uct as a court of inquiry in Hie Sampson-Schley controversy. These were Admiral Dewey aud Hear Admirals Lewis A. Kimberly and Andrew K. K. Benliam. The two rear admirals are on the retired list. Later It was reported that Itear Admiral Kimberly would ask to be excused oecause of 111 health. Should he decline ihe secretary will select one of the other retired admirals to take his place.

Meade, commanding the detachmeiit of marines at the navy yard, with intoxication while ou duty and are made by Colonel Frank L.

But the charges pale Into iuslgnltlcauce when placed alongside 'the countercharges preferred agalust the coinplaiuauts by Colonel Meade. He accuses Colonel Denny of fraud 111 connection with work on the marine barracks at the New York navy yard. Colonel Meade also joiutly cliurges Colonel Denny and Major I.auchheiinei' with "lying" and "conspiracy." It was not until Newport was reached and the Constitution had been shackled to her moorings that an Intelligent explanation could be given. DESPONDENT. Total Cash Amet* of U. S.

The Constitution, following right in the wake of the Columbia, the leading yacht iu the big sloop class, struck twice on a ledge near the Race rock lighthouse. There was a substantial bump oil each occasion of the strike, and after this accident the Constitution behaved like a lame duck. All her old time smartness was lacking.

The difficulty in a selection from the list of retired rear admirals is that most of these officers are fiar advanced In years and, as indicated in the case of Admiral Kimberly, are not in a stair of health to warraut them iu assuming the extremely onerous duties of a court of inquiry. , more tlmti iiw.'wo,- 5 $304,598,063 SPECIAL LOW PRIUS No regular system of inspections has lDeeu in use on the bridge under the present administration The engineers can learn of injuries to the structure only by accidental reports.

Mr. Duncan. who Is In command, said last evening that he believed some of the plates oil the leaden keel were wrenched off by the force of the Impact on the hard rock. These plates, forming the tin. acted as a drag on the yacht aud made her incapable of showing her usual racing form. Colonel Meade assumed command of the marines at the Brooklyn navy yard in November last, ami at that time work was golug on in the way of improving the marine barracks. Colonel Meade frequently expressed an opinion to personal friends that the "entire job was a swindle," and about four months ago he spoke plainly to an architect who was working under the contract entered Into by the government through the luiirlue corps staff at Washington. The selection of a Judge advocate for the court is delayed. Commander Pillsbury, who was suggested. Is stationed in The Boston navy yard, under the com maud of Rear Admiral Sampson. The secretary Is iuclincd to look elsewhere than In Sampson's command for a judge advocate. PEOPLES STORED Washington. July 20—Forecast until 8'p. m..

Senator Tillman supported the resolution which was unexpectedly offered as a substitute for a resolution over which there hud been much debate, presenting the oath to be taken by candidates for congress In the approaching election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Stokes of the Seventh district.
