fast, the Arlingtons leading. They the
Arlngtons opened up the distance on the
Arlels and soon had two boat lengths be-
tween them. The Neptunes now braced
up, came up fast and closed on the Ariels,

terms. Columbia caught a crab and fell
of. AT the first half the Atlantas still led,
with the New York eight pressing them
hard. AT the mile the local crews had cut
down the distance between them and the
leaders by some lengths and were pulling a
strong, even stroke. All the crews Jour
neyed on without changing their position

crew made grand squirt, and by magnifi-
cent rowing crawled upon the leaders and
crossed the line in front of the Atlantic,

NEW York, Aug. ia Herald, Wash
lngton, special says: The Charleston is
now coaling at Mare Island and will prob
ably leave today. She will make for I oko-
hama, Japan, with all possible speed. The
Marion, Alert and Mohican, now in Behr-
ldg sea, will have received their orders in
few days and will proceed direct for
China. None of these vessels, however,
will reach Shanghai before the date which
IL believed to have been fixed for general
uprising. Thin date is the first of the Chinese
eighth month, which corresponds to Sep
TENDER 3, according to our calendar. 1t is
feared here that ths present state of dis
quietude among tho disorderly element is
merely the calm before the storm which is
Scheduied to break on the date given above.
In all the foreign settlements preparations
are being made for residents to protect
their possessions and families. Mission
aries and merchants alike are determined
to give the rioters warm reception. Pro-
visions are being stored and arms distri-
buted In sufficient quantities to withstand
a siege, and signals have been arranged
whereby the foreign population can be
gathered at a moments notice into the
strongest buildings which can be effectu-
ally barricaded.
This information comes from private
sources and shows that the foreigners do
not place absolute confidence in the prom
lses OF the Chinese government to afford
ample protection. Neither is absolute con-
ndence placed on reports of commanders of
various war vessels that can only reach
cities lying along the coast.

said to your correspondent to-day: 1.-THE
year promises to be one OF abundance in al
most all lines of agricultural production.
The large wheat crop is already practically
harvested. The preliminary returns Of
acreage make the area about forty million
acres, On that basis and last returns, the
crop should not fall below 525, 0OO. 900
bushels. The least promising of any of the
crops of cereals is that of oats, the acreage
being reduced. The acreage in rye is little
changed from that of last year, but the
August condition is better, promising a
larger crop. The barley acreage is appar-
emily the largest ever sown and the present
condition warrants an expectation of q crop
considerably above the average"
