On the other haiid, if ever a racing yacht of high degree showed exCcllenc* In light weather sailing It was the COBstitutiob. The race was under the dl rectlon of the LarChmont club, and the course was over that streictl of Long Island sound which faces Larchmont. It was a 30 mile race, but owing to the limitations of water distances in that locality It was found necessary to make the course triangular, six miles on one leg, six on another and three on another.She W|l» Leave San Francisco Immsi diately With Sixty Marines. The frequent stntement that the Shamrock II is hard to steer, is slow in stays, exports sii.w Is proved by ah analysis of the lateral plans of the yacht as compared to tho approximate |K)sition of the center of effort of the sail plan. The carrying forward of the yacht, it is stated, would have obviated this error, which of necessity makes her carry a lee helm. As this alteration could not be made, (ieorge tD. Watson has accented the Mher alternative and will give Her a little more afier ssiil. That this error In trim has been noticed by Mr. Watson is shown by the preparations for a larger mainsail to lit the new boom, thus bringing the center of effort a trifle aft of the center of lateral resistance, giving the yacht n slight weather helm. This will make the yacht quicker in stays and remedy the only fault that her sailing master admits does exist. No communication can be had with any of the Islands in Mississippi sound, Just outside the bnr, 40 miles below here. Any news concerning the fate of the Islanders must come by boat, and this is anxiously awaited. VIA NEW JERSEY CENTRAL Washington.

T. .1 Yates, Plttston ; K troll's l'harmacy, West I'lttston. "There ha# been a dearth of information in regard to the sick, wounded or tiying soldiers in the Philippines.

The formal record, goes to Manila, where six or seven dayh are lost in handling papers at headquarters, and it is a matter of weeks before the reports reach Washington Important reports regarding enlisted men or regulars should be accessible to the public with the same promptness as similar reports relating to volunteers when the latter are in the Philippines."

It is not to tie expected that any overtures will be made by President Schwab so long as he remains at the head of the trust, no matter how much the production of the steel companies lie restricted. It is equally clear that no offers of settlement will come from the Amalgamated association so long as it believes it is gaining. Paris.
