More tln u ninety-one of the goad citizens of Henry fa.led to put any nnmo for sens ter on their tickets. The result of thu primaries this week puts AlaJ. Bacon clearly m the lend ever all his competitors, and while tt la impassible to tell how many of the legislators who are uninstructed will tote, it Is the universally expressed opinion that Maj. Bacon tins by all odds the best chance for the scnatorshlp, if Indeed his nomination Is not pract.- cally assured. In all the counties the contests were red hot. Every, possible effort had been made by the friends of Mr. Garrard to carry Monroe, mud they were .very hopeful of the result up to the last, but when the votes were eountid It \vun wvu that Bacou had nearly two-thlnls of the votes. The result lu Putnam was In the na ture of it pleasant surpriso to friends of Maj. Bacon. The people of Putuiuu spoke out lu unmistakable terms, how ever, and Blub shakes hands with Put nam. In Tronp the friends of both candi dates worked with U vim and the vote was very close. The vote la Henry shows that It was a hand to hand light there, with no quarter asked or given. One of the happiest men In Macon Inst uight was congressman In futuro Charles L. Bartlett. His majority in Henry bud been run up by the runinis tram Shake ltag uud Boudy Knob to 1117, and his uomiuntlon-by the Demo crats for representative. lu congress from the sixth district had been iloil- ultely settled.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 4.-^eon,e J. Gould bad a narrow escape from drowning yesterday, . when he met the Vigilant In a steam lanncn off the Spit lightship. Just as Oould wan walking across a plank between the two vessels the launch gave a sudden lurch anil Gould fell Into the sea. He was wearing a Mclntouch af Ihe time and this gar ment flew over his head, and for a time Gould's situation was critical.

THE VIGILANT IS VICTORIOUS Fhe Yankee Centre-boarder Has Re trieved a Part of Her Reputation In English Waters. THE BEST OF HER MANY RACES- The Orlttmnls, the Prince of Walra' Pretty Tatter, \Va» No Match for the Vigilant In Choppy Seas and Adren* Wtndi, Cowes, Atig. 4.—The Vigilant some what retrieved her reputation today In a splendid tussle for a prize of 4500 over the course of the royal yacht squadron. She beat the Prince ot Wale’s cutter, the Brittanla, In a breeze that held from start 4o finish, over a course of forty nautical miles, a third of which was In the open water of 'the English Channel. There was a channel sea, celebrated for choppiness, supposed to be resistless to American models, which did not materially ta- terfere with the triumphant progress of the white New York sloop. The speed of the racers will best illustrate whait kind of a breeze tt was that drove them over the course. The Vigilant never did better in any match race or regatta la which she has taken part, oiie covered the course in four hours, six minutes and forty seoonds, or al an hourly average of about 11 1-2 knots, The wind fluctuated between 14 and IS knots. The Vigilant beat the Brit tanla by six minutes and thirty-three seconds actual time, and four minutes and twenty-nine seconds corrected Ume, (he Yankee yucht'allowlng the Briton ten minutes and four seconds. Mr. Gould was represented on the Brittanla by Commodore E. D. Mor gan of the New York Yacht Club, and the Prince of Wales was represented on the Vigilant by Col. Paget. The impression here 4s that the Vigilant cannot he defeated In such weatner os the yacht had today by any Bntlsn model. A multitude of slght-seera wltn a decided preference for keel yachts gathered here In all manner of Honi ng tulngs. Royalty was well represent ed. There was never a more respon dent fleet of pleasure craft In the So- lent and at npiinead at any previous raco in BrlUsa yachting annuls. Her majesty's snip Dreadnangni ana the German school ship, the Lascn, lay off the dub house of the royal yacht's squadron. Tne finish and start ot the contest wa* visible from several points of land,-, the nearest of which was West Cowes, and the villus und hotels were crowded with guests, some of whom had paid fabulous prices'for rooms. The course toad four turns. It ran al most due east and west, each leg be ing about twelve/miles In length. The first part of the course wns to a mark boat off Lepe, in tne Solent; thence eastward through Spltfteud to und around the Warner lightship, out in the channel and out to the starting point off Cowes, twice around. It was (over practically this same course a year today that the Santtta bead Royal Phelp't contre-bo.irder, Na- vahoe, by seven minutes and four sec onds. The sky was cloudless when the yachts sailed out to the starting lines. There was a good breeze from the southwest, that 'o the weather-wise skippers and alert pilots seem to have in It the promise of royal yachting later In the day. The experts in both yachts evidently expected a fresh wind, as they had only working top sails set Instead of wide-spreading club topsails, sc frequently seen in preced ing races. The start was one of the cleverest ever seen hereabouts. The yachts came for the line on the' port tack, the Brlttnnia to windward. The starting gun boomed aa 1:30, and five seconds later tooth yachts crossed the line so evenly that one obscured the other and at a distance they appeared but a single yacht. It was a Short beat to the Lepe against a strong ebb tide, wltb two long tegs and a short one. The Brittanla seemed to lie leading un til the yachts drew near the Lepe. She stood too long on the last leg, and the Vlgllaut Jibbed around tne mark fifty- five seconds ahead of topr. Time: Vigi lant, 1055:05; Brittanla, 10:66:00. In tho run from Lepe to the Warner lightship with the wind, which was freshening a bit over the starboard quarter, both yachts set their Jib top sails. Passing the club house on their way to the lightship it was seen that the centreboarder had Increased her lead to one minute and ten seconds. Time: Vigilant. 11:03:16; Brittanla, 110)4:26. The Brittanla lost a few more sec onds on the way out. At the Warner the Vigilant was one minute and forty seconds ahead, having gained flfty sec onds since she Jibbed around Lope. Time at the Warner: Vtgllant, 11:48:20; BrUtanla, 11:500*. In the twelve-mile stretch back to Lepe, cloae-tbiuled, the Vigilant made the hearts of hundreds of Americans bound by her performance. The yachts were seen only Indistinctly from shore after rounding the Warner, as afaolsty rain had set In. The breeze shifted a trifle to the southward nnd glorious whitecaps, which sent a welcome to the rtilon of Americans, began to lighten the lumpy surface of the Ro len t. As the yachts passed the club house the Vigilant led by three minutes and flfty-two seconds. 8he had gained since she rounded the Warner two minutes and seven seconds. Time: Vigilant, 12:38:23: Brittanla, 12:48:24. lAfter pasting the club house she yachts made a broad reach of tt to Urn, the wind having got around further to the Southward, enabling the yachti to carry their big Jib tolpsalls. The Vigilant ran hers up In stops and broke It out somewhat before the Brit- tanla set hers. They jibbed "round the Lepe mark boat as follows: Vigilant, 12-48:15; Brittanla, 12:56:05. The wind had acquired additional force und a southerly tendency. H was club house. Time at Warner: Vigilant, 1:05,15; Brittanla. 1:57:05. The wind from Warner to the finish was blowing about sixteen knots. It tvj3 still west of south, and the big single stickers made the Anal leg al most close-hauled. The Vigilant gained forty-three seconds In this ntne miles ot reaching. U required no official tint ing to convince tho Americans that .heir yacht. In a line wind over a pretty good combination Inside nnd outside course, the narrowest part of which was two and a half miles wide, had defeated the cutter. Time at the finish was: Vigilant, 2:36:45; Brittanla, 2:43:18. When the centreboarder dnehed across fhe tine, nearty a mile and a half ahead of the Brittanla, there were no shrieks of applauding whistles nnd no resounding cheers from the throng ashore. Only a single toot camo over the water, and that was probably from an American yacht. No lusty throats sent forth greeting to the gallant Ylaknee. Perhaps It might have been different If the British cutter had won, as She has frequently amid a tempest of Cheers and yells. The victory was one Which clearly demonstrates what often has been declared by Capt. Hank Half of the Vigilant and Nat Herre- shoff, her designer, that Is that she the best boat in a stiff, steady breeze, on nn outside or Inside or sny other course. i CrUBIS AT BLUEFI-ELDS.

Ms pMol and allot Lewis _<hroe times In the side and Washington, Aug. 4.—When the con ference committee adjourned tht» nftor- nobn there were two direct und antago nistic views held by senators, both of which had their adherents. It was be lieved on the one hand that a report satisfactory all around would be made the two houses not later than Wednesday, and on the other hand that a disagreeing report wa* bound to fol low In the next two or three days. A nearer guess would be, and after all tho whole situation la very like guesswork, that the laitter part ot next week will bo here before any conclusion ot any sort Is reached. When the Democratic members con ference coinmtil.eo disbanded at 5 p. in. the house members appeared more Jubi lant than their senatorial colleagues. Indeed. Messrs. MoMlllln oiml Montgom ery seemed to bo quite happy. Without saying what hud been done, if any thing, they declared that nothing had been accomplished that might not bo undone when they met agatn Monday. TheTO was mbre In their manner, how ever. that led to the conclusion that they believed, or at least hoped, that the end was In sight. ' Tile senate conferees were equally un communicative. Mr. JoneB said that he belluved there would ho a report some time next week and he thought tlioro wus light In the distance, still Mr. Junes was willing to admit that he did not‘feel as oheortul over the situa tion as he did yesterday afternoon. Why he felt so differently, Mr. Jones de clined to say, us that would necessarily have taken him Into a discussion of the millers that belonged only to the con ference room. Despite all rumors to the contrary, iho accuracy tile sugar schedule sent out in the press dispatches last night has been confirmed, although it. Is not the final and Irrevocable decision of the cumtnlttec. It la the only one of a doz en hat the conservative senators will agree to accept, and it la the only ono tho members of the house conferees havo not objected to. That Is tho diplo matic way In which the conferees state that Ibis the only schedule which they will ugree to accept. Of course no schedule can be accepted by the senato cJUfM'ivii that cannot —minimi the 43 Democratic vote", and thle ono had no sooner been muuo public than it was antagonised by Jlcseis. Cuffrey and Blanchard of Louisian, who. It appaers, have been able to form a combination with the two Populist senators, Alton anil Kyle, wlib are tho champions of ttio beet sugar men, who have large Inter ests In their respective states. These four men make no secret of the fact that they will not support tho bill If this schedulo Is not ndhred to and If they are not given the bounty for the crop bf 1824. Just how to conlclluto these men Is the question over which the senate conferee* are now struggling, end until they can do so or hit upon oomo other schedule that will suit both the Louisiana men and tho refiners anil be ulso acceptable to tho liouso con ferees eug.ur wilt bo held In nbcyance. Part of tho time today was conaum-d In the consideration of other matters, much pressure being brought tto bear upon the conferees on tho part of the senate to yield on coal nnd Iron ore. It Is said that they only thing tho senate Will agree to do Is to give tho hotmo re ciprocity on coal, but Iron must stay whore It Is. All propositions looking to a graduated duty or Its rcllquiahment attic a period of three years, have ben rejected. It Is reported that tho house conferee* have not yet lost hope, and they look upon Mr. Gorman ns the only stumbling block In their pathway to success. When adjournment wns taken tonight tt looked as If the conferees, despit* their many tentative agreement*, were as far ns ever from the goal for which they have been striving. There Is, hoar, ever a goneral belief that something will be done earlv next week nnd that a report of some kind will thereafter too made. It Is said ttoot tho senate con- fete** have begun to lose patience and will vote to make a disagreeing report and let the bill meet Its fato In ’ho senate unless their associates give some Indication of a desire to come lu an agreement on lines that wttt enable tho blit to pass the senate. notes. A few amendments of form rather tlniu of sutosuiucu were made to tun bill, wnicli now reads as follows: “That ctngUatmg notes of national banking ussoeiiitieiia aud United State* legal tender notes and other notes and certificates of the United Mates, puy- ntole ou demand and c.rculutlug or lu-* tended to circulate us currency and gold, silver or other com, shall bo sub ject to luxuuou us mouey on hnnd, or on deposit under the laws of any state or territory; provided, that any such taxation shall tic exercised la tho sama manner and at the same rate llmt any, such state or territory shall tax money or currency cireulutiug as money with in Its Jur.sdictton.

Aug. 4.—Fifty-one deaths from sunstroke occurred In Uds city dur ing the week ending today, against four teen from that cause the preceding week. in 4 congrrase. The Senate Koselon Was Devoid of Any Special Interest Washington, Aug. 4.—There would have been no session of the senate to day but for tho fact that there had been un earnest desire expressed on Friday evening to Imve action today on tho confcrcnco report on tho rlvi-r and harbor bill. It was discovered, however, that technical errors had crept Into tho report on tho hill nml that It was necessary to send tho whole matter hack to the conference commit tee, and so tho report wa* withdrawn for that purpose.
