Tobacco Culture In East Tennessee.

| wish to say | have devoted almost
my entire time to the culture and man
ufacture Of tobacco for the past seven
teen years, and am familiar with
every detail of it, from the plant.bed to
the GALES counter, and know whereof
| speak when 1 say there is no crop
that will pay the farmers of East Ten.
nessee as we'll as a tobacco crop prop
erly managed and planted on the right
kind of soil. ! failed on my first crop
from the very cause that many fail
today. That is the mistaken idea
that tobacco must be grown on poor
land. | will say right here that there
ia too much work on tobacco crop to
plant it on poar land, and there is not
farm in East Tennessee but what a
part of it is adapted to the growth of
one or both of the two varieties of
tobacco now in demand. The Orinoka,
for bright flue cured tobacco, should
be planted on rich porus, gravolly or
sandy loan soil, and men that under.
stand the culture aud management OF
this variety in Green, Cooke and Ham.
blen counties are making from $50 to
$500 per acre. These are facts aud
can give their names by the score il
necessary. One man ! know of few
years back was poor day laborer, and
he sold his crop last year for $2,2000t
and this year for $2,sO00O, owns goot
farm and is out of debt, and he made i
all out Of growing tobacco,
The White Burley tobacco is thu

the reverse for fine euriug). 1t require

Mine Closed.

Ispeming, Mich, Sept. 12.-True to
promise the section 81 mine of the Lake
Superior Iron company was closed at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. About
500 strikers watched the railroad de-
pot and functions last night. The ev-
ening express on the South Shore road
was tagged near the Winthrop juno
ton. The mob boarded the cars, going
through them all, but finding none of
the so-called "scabs!" This stopping
of trains and interfering with passen-
gers is getting to be nuisance. The
strikers have asked Mr.. Maitland OF
the Cambria to wait upon other mining
men in the interest of a compromise.

the Americas cup, supposing the De-
fender wins the next race, but 1t may
be taken for granted that this is the
last contest that will be sailed in New
York waters.
The Daily News says: "The commit
tee has not only taken Tuesdays sup
posed victory from the Brisish yacht,
but has given it to the American, This
seems to be rather sharp practice. 1t
may be the rlgor, of racing law, but it
is hardly sport. If the umpire had
dome his duty he would have recalled
the yachts and had fresh start. The
committees severe reward makes poor
reciprocity for the generous treatment
of the Cornell crew at Henley"
The Chronicle says: 1--WE confess we
see no reason in the decision of the
committee awarding the race to the De
fender. The foul occurred before the
starting gun was fired and before the
line was crossed. The Defender might
have backed out, but she elected to
race. Had the Valkyrie wilfully foulef
the Defender during the race the PEN
atty could not have been greater The
prove matters. We should not be sur
prised if Lord Dunraven declares the
rest of the races off and refuses to COM
pete again, but if he consents to con-
tinue, as we hope he will, Thursdays
race will probably settle the matter,
as there is not much doubt now that
the Defender is the faster yacht"
The Standard: "The decision will be
received with much regret I'M England.
1t is unlucky, to say the least, that
the result deprives Lord Dunraven of
what seemed to be a fairly won vic
tory. We do not imply that there is
the slightest reason to suspect the COM
mittee of impartiality, We recognize
the kindly spirit that prompted them to
sound the oompeters as to whether
they would like to race again without a
decision on the disputed point. Evil
IDENTIFY the foul was a pure accident.
We only express our belief, that had
the positions been reversed, Lord Dun
raven would have cheerfully agreed to
resail the race as a solution of the diff
ficulty."
Another morning paper says: "The
New York newspapers, judging from
cabled extracts, took a more sports
| manlike view of the accident than has
| the committee, whose action is doubly
| unfortunate, aus their inquiry was Sc
cret."
The Times says ut is not quite cleal
whether the committee had the power
to order a fresh race. The rules were
drawn with special atringency, ant
| may have compelled the committee t
award the victory to one or the othel
boat, yet most persons here would have
| desired that the race be resailed, ant
that, it is plain from our New York cor
respondents despatch, would also have
met the wishes of our sportsmanlikt
kindred across the Atlantic"
The Globe says the opinion is almos
universal that the race ought to- be re

Fell With a Balloon.

Stettin, Sept. 12.-The military man.
oeuvres were renewed this morning.
The northern army, commanded by the
emperor in person, stormed and cap
tured Sparenfelde Heights. The third
army corps was checked from out
flanling the second corps by the strong
entertainments of the later.
During the operations a captive bal
loon burst at an elevation of 1900 feet,
and fell swiftly to the ground. An
officer was occupying the balloon for
the purpose of observing the move
ments of the troops.
He had his leg broken and was other
wise badly injured by the fall.

DEFENDER-VALKTRIE.
Dunraven's Letter Insisting on a Clear
Course,


Course.
New York, Sept. 12,-Lord Dunraven
rent letter to the cup committee i'm
mtd'f tely after TIE ra"e on Tuesday
stating that ~ would not rsce again
again unless the course was kept clear
of the excursion fleet.
The letter was as follows:
"Gentlemen-It is with great reluc-
tance that | write to inform you that l
decline to sail the Valkyrie aCy more
under the circumstances hat have pre-
vailed in the last two races, and for the
following reasons:
First. To attempt to start two such
large vessels in such confined space and
among moving steamboats, and tug
boats is, in my opinion, exceedingly
dangerous, and 1 will not further risk
the lives of my men or the ship
Second. At the start of the first
race the crowding was so great that
we could not see the mark boat and
could not tell when we were near the
line; and we were much hampered by
steamboats,, especially on the race home
To-day on the reach home eight or
nine steamboats, were to windward of
me, and, what was worse, a block of
steamboats, were steaming level with
me and close under my lee. 1 sailed
nearly the whole distance in tumbling,
broken water, in the heavy wash of
these steamboats,.
ITO race under these conditions is,
in my opinion, absurd, and I decline
to submit myself to them again.
II would remind your committee that,
foreseeing the trouble that might oc-
cur, urged upon them the desirability
of sailing off Marblehead or some To-
cality other than New York Bay, and
they refused to do so. At the same
time 1 would testify to my full belief
that your committee have done every
thing in their power to prevent over
crowding.
THE fact Is that when contest be-
tween the representatives of two yacht
clubs excites so much popular interest
and attracts such crowds of people, if
the races are sailed in the immediate
neighborhood of great city and the
dates of the races and times of starting
are known and advertised, it is impossi-
BILE to keep a course free from causes
of exceptional danger and clear enough
to assure the probability that the re-
suit of match will be decided accord
ing to the relative merits Of the COM
peting vessels
II have the honor to remain your
obedient servant, DUNRAVEN.

Glasgow, Sept. 12,-The Glasgow Citi-
zen published the following statement
yesterday in regard to the manner in
which the news about the international
yacht race of Tuesday was sent to it
from New York:
"The messages being long and contin-
uous from start to finish, the average
speed of transmission maintained over
the Anglo-American cables and Citizen
special wire is, altogether phenomenal
and unprecedented. Cablegrams con-
tanning words and figures require some
little time to manipulate, but bare re-
suits We're flashed through in seconds;
for instance, the message containing
the result of the race occupied only one
minute in transmission, while the two
other short dispa tchesl were actually re-
ceived in the Citizen office half min
ute after leaving, a feat hitherto I'M
known in ocean biography"
