PLUCKY LIEUTENANT HENN Does Not Acknowledge That His Boat is Not the Best, But Says That 'o Mon Ensllshmen are Ukely to Come 3,000 Bllles to Partici pate in a Floating Match Some Hints That the Calm 1 What Saved the Cup. New York, Sep. 13. On board the Gala tea Lieut. Henn was very plainly suffering a good deal from the congestion of bis lungs, which has afflicted him for several days. When asked about the future movements of the Galatea he said that he had formally en tered her for the Newport race, and that he would sail for that place on Tusday or Wed nesday. He said that he had not received any answer to his challenge to sail around the Bermudas and back, and that if no answer LIKUT. HENN. was received by nightfall he should withdraw the challenge and substitute another. As to Gen. Paine's challenge to go to Province town, wait there for a gale of wind, and then sail to Marblehead, he said that that matter was still under consideration. He did not wish to say what sort of a race he contemplated propos ing in place of the Bermuda race. Of the cup races he said: "Of course there are the chances of calm and light wind, which must always be ex pected in yachting, but it is absurd to call the trials that we have had racing. No more British yachts will come over here to contest for the cup. It isn't worth while to come 3,000 miles to enter in a drifting match." There was one part of Saturday's race however, which he did not think was a drift ing match. That was the long reach in from the buoy to the shore. He said the Galatea had made up all but five or six minutes of the time she lost in the lazy run down to the buoy, or had gained about eight minutes. Then the wind fell flat. . He was quite confident that the Galatea had outsailed the Mayflower on the wind dur ing the half hour, that they were making something like a rate of 12 knots an hour. He admitted that the Galatea was outsailed in. the fog on Thursday, but said that was be cause of the error in judging the weather when they reefed their bowsprit and started under the shortened sail. On the subject of the two models, his opinion was as strongly in favor of the cutter as ever. Even allow ing that the Mayflower had on the whole beaten the cutter, it must be a good model which, being a half larger under water, and still spreading 2,000 feet less of canvas could do so welt ma MRS. HENN. The majority of the yachtsmen, however, said, when 'thev came to. go over the details f the race again, that the Mayflower really made gains until the wind dropped, which it began to. do in about twenty minutes, cer tainly within ha an hourand . that, the Galatea gained thereafter because she had a club topsail, which the Mayflower had not, and on the whole had the better of the wind. It is quite certain that the most prejudiced of the cutter men on the press boat did -not notice that the Galatea had gained any until about 3:20 o'clock, when the jib topsails were set, and that was at least . twenty minutes after the wind began to fail and to veer about, one shift bringing the Priscilla, which was further out to sea, for about ton minutes a mile to windward of the Mayflower, al though she had been previously half as much behind the leader. To.Capt. Stone belongs the credit of saving the day. r While the Mayflower was holding far in to the land off Long Branch he was the only one on board who thought he was right. The Galatea being further out to sea, although considerably , further south or. to , leeward, plainly had a better wind and was gaining, while the Mayflower was running out of what wind she had. Capt. Stone admitted all that, but he could see a wind off shore further in side, and his judgment prevailed after he. got Capt. Newcombe of the Fortuna to look at the wrinkled water near the breakers, and the yellow clouds of Jersey dust that were rolling out to sea above them. '' ""Tien the race was all over, and the May "'I ' ' i flower was at anchor, a Boston man rowed out to her, and climbing on deck, was met by jar. .Burgess. jNo more quiet, modest and retiring man than Mr. Burjress can be found among Boston yachtsmen. . The arrogance of the few Boston men who remained about the hotels in town yesterday was simply insufferable. They swelled about like spinnakers before the wind, held their heads up like club topsafls, and flapped their tongues like the leach of the Galatea's main sail. Boston might not be the metropolis, they said, but it was the seat of learning in matters marine, and the birthplace of modern naval architecture, and that was quite enough to satisfy their ambition. .The Mvvflower leaves for, Newport to-day to prepare for the race there, in which the Stranger, Clara, Bedouin, Thetis. Montauk and Miranda are entered. - VOTING IN MAINE. THE DAY GIVEN UP TO THE STATE ELECTIONS. Prospects of a Uht Vote The ltepnbll cans Counting Upon a Victory The rJemocrats Getting: In their "Work Quietly- An Unknown Quantity. Auotsta, Sept. 13. The political cam paign which has been exciting this state for three weeks past has closed, and to-day elec tion for governor, members of the legislature, county officers, and four congressmen takes place. Mr. Blaine fired the opening gun of the campaign,- and ignited the skyrocket which marked its close. He has done more talking in Maine than he has done in any previous campaign for a great many years, making at least a dozen speeches in all and speaking in nearly every county. . When. Mr. Blaine returned to, Augusta he showed no signs that his campaigning among the rugged hills of his adopted state in the languid, oppressive heat of this dog day weather had told on him. He seemed to feel all the better for it. Mr. Blaine loves a poli tical fight so well that when he takes a hand he seems to actually grow fat on it. His prominence in the canvass has been its strik ing feature. The Republicans have averaged some thirty rallies a day during the campaign, and these have been addressed by some of the leading statesmen of the party belonging out of the state. Gen. Logan and Senators Sher man and Evarts accepted invitations to speak, but failed to put in an appearance. - The Democrats have furnished the people with but little music from the stump, their managers depending more . upon work than wind, Calvin Frost, of New York, has been their principal speaker. The Prohibitionists have had a large number of speechmakers in the field, their biggest guns being St. John and Gen. Dow, whose shibboleth has been, "Kill the Republican party." There have also been one or two speakers on the stump in the interest of the labor reformers. The campaign has been to run on national issues principally, .-as formulated by Mr. Blaine. The only state issues of consequence involved are these concerning legislation in the interest of labor, and singularly enough the opposing parties all seem to show a re markable unanimity of sentiment in favoring the demands of the working people. v. The outlook seems to indicate that the total vote will be the lightest thrown for ten years. The total vote for governor in 1S84 was 143,107. Of this vote Frederick Robie, Republican, had 98,318; John B. Red man, Democrat, had 53,503; Hosea B. Eaton, Greenbacker, had 3.017; William T. Eustis, Prohibition, had 1,151, and. the rest were scattering votes. " The total Vote for gover nor in 1883 was 138,478. Frederick Robie, Re publican, receiving 73,481 ; Harris M. Plaisted, Fusion, 63,921; Solon Chase,' Greenback, 1, 334; William T. Eustis, Prohibition, 3S1; Warren H. Vinton, Independent Republican, 269, and scattering, 103. It will be seen that the Republican plur ality two years ago was nearly 20,006, while four years ago it was 8,500. Impartial ob servers do not think that the total vote this year will exceed 120,000, and it would not be sumrisincr if it did not reach those ft mires. L- A rnncorrnHvA oetimnf-A runts f-.fin RtrlwAll vote at 65,000 and the Edwards vote at 50,000. -This would give the election to the Republi can candidate by 15,000 plurality on a reduced vote. The Prohibition vote is the unknown quantity ' and excites the most speculation, for the reason that the Democrats say that If it should come up to the figures that the St. John-Dow men claim it will make such a hole in the Republican party . as will throw the governorship into the ; Democrats' fmnrfa This is on the supposition that the Democrats will poll the strength of the party. The high est estimate made of the Prohibition vote is 13,000. 1 'There seems 'to be no evidence that the Prohibitionists will cast so big- a vote or that the jnerease " they will have over their vote of two years ago will be drawn exclu sively from the Republicans. They have made a hot fight, but ' the chances are that they will not poll over 3,500 votes, and these will be drawn quite as much from the Demo cratic as from the - Republican party. -The prospects are that the Republicans will elect Mr. Bodweu by their average plurality on a decreased vote.- - i: - :. ; - ". . At this hour any estimate would be mere guess wont Uhalrmaii Manley , however, claims to have information upon which he claims the state by an increased majority. Bad Indians Will Fight Fear Now. ' Albcqcxrqux, N. M- Sept, 13. Gen. Miles has arrived here to meet 400 Chiricahua and Warm Spring Indians, who will arrive here to-day on their way to Fort-Marion, Fla., by way of St. Louis. They compose the war element of the Apaches, and ' their removal rids the southwest of all Indian troubles. Gen. Miles contradicts . the statement made by "The Army and Navy Journal that the Chiricahua and Warm Spring Indians were never disarmed, and were , not prisoners of war. These Indians were placed on the Apache reservation contrary to .the wish of the interior department, and it is well known that their removal will all be the work of Gen. Miles, who has been perfecting arrange ments for five months,, against . much, oppo sition. - --. ' . Tlie Austrian Mission. Washington, Sept. 13.

Dallas, c Sept 13. CoL A. C. Porter, of Dallas, who has spent upward of a month in -the City of Mexico, has arrive I home. He left the capital Sept 5, at which . time the Sedgwick scandal was the sensation of the hour. When asked regarding the scan- dal, he,aid : "The public reports are all true, and more than half of his disgraceful conduct has never been made public He got disgracefully drunk and attended envoy Sedgwick. a ball given by the Jockey club and wound up at a bawdy house. On hearing of it CoL George West, formerly of Parsons, Kan., now of Washington City, having learned that members of the Jockey club had cut Sedgwick's hat and coat into shreds, went to the den of infamy to take him a hat and coat, when Sedgwick, who was still intoxicated, told him to go to h 1 ; that he was no baby; that he was able to take care of himself. Sedgwick walked the streets drunk with members of the Jockey club, and conducted himself so shamefully that every American in the city hung his head in shame. I see that Secretary Bayard has stated that he will take the word of Sedgwick as to the truth of. the reports. If the secretary wishes proof of his guilt he can get any amount of it from the American : residents of the City of Mexico." SUNDAY IN CHARLESTON. A Wind and Kaln Storm Cools the Heated City., Charleston, Sept. 13. The situation is generally unchanged. One slight shock oc curred at 11 a. m. yesterday, but it was not generally felt. The day was characterized by the holding of open-air services in' all the public parks conducted by ministers of the various congregations. Sermons particularly impressive were preached by Dr. "jW. T. Thompson, of the First Presbyterian church, on the battery; Bishop Howe, of the JSpisco- pal church, and Bishop Northrop, at , the Cathedral chapeL The relief committee will continue the distribution of rations until stopped by the central committee. Over 20, 000 rations have been issued daily, and in the opinion of the chairman of the relief commit tee there is not a single case of destitution unministered to in the city. Contributions continue to flow in. Great progress in recon-" struction has been made all along the line, and public feeling is much relieved. The al most unendurable heat was broken by a heavy wind and rain storm, bringing great discom fort to tenters and others who are without sufficient shelter. Many loose bricks were blown from the ruined walls, making the streets dangerous for the few pedestrians seeking shelter. No casualties are reported so far. By 9 o'clock p. m. the sky had cleared and the moon was shining brightly. SENSATIONAL DEATH SCENE. A Dray Clerk Takes Morphine Instead of Qulnlno. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 13. John Bark, a young drug clerk, has just died under very sensational circumstances. He had been drunk all night and feeling ill after he went to bed said he was gsing to take ten grains of qui nine. He took morphine, however, instead of quinine, by mistake, and although physi cians labored with him all day he was de clared dead in the evening. After the body was carried home it was surrounded by his mother and neighbors, when the eyes suddenly opened, there were. violent twitchihgs of the muscles of the face, and the arms perceptibly moved. Instantly the mother threw herself upon her son's body in hysteria, kissing c and attempting to bring him back to lif ry endearments. A physician was hurriedly summoned and a strong electric current was applied, but young . Burk was dead beyond recall. The move ments were merely muscular. His devoted mother, however, sat up with the body all night, watching it eagerly for any sign of life. Threw Ills Arm OCT. Detroit, Sept 13. A Singular accident occurred at- Hillsdale,' Mich.
