WAS AN EYE OPENER.
Battle of July 3rd Causes Change in
European Plans.

New York, Sept. S.-Irving NJ Scott,
of San Francisco, vice president and
general manager of the Union Iron
works, at which the Oregon was built,
arrived from Europe on the Kaiser
Wilhelm Der Crosse, and went to the
Holland House.
Mr.. Scott said he went to Russia to
further American interests on the east
ern coast of Siberia and incidentally to
crack up the performances of American
built ships of war.
Russia - he continued sis undergo
ing a marvellous industrial DEVELOPMENT
in every direction. Railroads are being
built and manufacturing is advancing
rapidly.
"A great field for American industry
is opening, particularly on the Pacific
coast near the terminals of the new
railway, Merchant vessels are in de-
mand and iron and steel will be need
ed and it was to get our share of this
trade more than anything else I went
abroad. My visit will, I think, result
in our getting contracts for some of the
new warships to be constructed for the
Russian government.
Our naval victory at Santiago was
an eye-Opener to all Europe. There
had been a great deal of s1eptfcism be
fore the war about our navy and the
experts were inclined to consider our
ship building in the experimental stage

No such performance had been dream
ed of abroad and the prestige of our
navy rose to the highest point. There
was keen interest taken in every
thing we did, going even in details. The
destruction of the torpedo boats was
the cause of a revision of all foreign
naval programmes The battleship was
elevated to the place and Importance 1t
deserves and much doubt was thrown
on the utility of the torpedo boats In
consequence all the powers have cur
tailed their outlay for these craft and
are doing more for heavily armed and
armOred vessels.

WHEAT WILL FAIL
In 80 Years Unless Nitrate Can Be
Made ArtifciaIly.

Bristol, Eng, Sept. Sat the open
ing of the British association for the
advancement of science here, President
Crookes devoted his inaugural address
chiefly to the theory that the worlds s
wheat supply will fail to keep pace
with the needs of the growing popula-
ton beyond the year 1881.
The supply of fixed nitrogen, mostly
in the form of nitrate of soda, was not
inexhaustible, he said. and might come
to an end. The store of nitrogen in
the atmosphere was practically unlim-
tied, and its use as manure was one of
the great discoveries awaiting the ingen-
uity of chemists.
He expressed the opinion that a So
luton of the problem might be found
in burning nitrogen in the air by means
of a powerful electric current and sug-
gested that Niagara Falls could thus
produce fixed nitrogen at a cost of $25
per ton. The artificial production of
nitrate in his judgment, might increase
the production of wheat to 80 bushels
an acre.
However, future generations, instead
of trusting mainly to wheat, would pro-
bably trust more and more to the ex-
uberant tropical food stuffs.

HOP CROP SHORT
And the Demand for Beer Making is
Increasing.

New York. Sept. S.-The American
Agriculturist says of the hop crop:
The worlds hop crop shows a short
age this season that may possibly be
reflected in a sensational advance in
prices, according to the American Ag-
riculturist's preliminary report this
week. It's returns for the 1898 crop of
hops in Germany, Austria, France and
England, as well as the United States,
make it reasonable to believe that, al
lowing for all possible improvement,
the worlds crop is $4,000 to 100000 bales
less than last year. 1t is therefore the
third crop in succession to make only
a fair average total, so that the general
impression of short supplies of old hops
is apparently justified.
With the increase in the consumption
of beer throughout the world, the de-
mand will evidently absorb the pres
ent supply at fair prices. The average
value Of the 1897 crop was about so
per cent more than in 1896, and double
that of 1895. and the 1898 crop promises
to be equally as profitable, if not much
more so.

THE OREGON DOCKED.
She Will Be Ready for Sea Again by
Saturday.

New York, Sept. S-The batt1eshfp
Oregon has been safely docked at the
navy yard at high tide. Three of the
government tugs towed the Oregon
from its berth to the dock, which it
entered without difficulty. Naval Con-
structoF BoWles was in charge. After
sufficient water had been pumped out
of the dock, the Oregon's own crew set
to work to clean the ship below the
water line.
Considering that it had been in trop-
ical waters some time it was in fair
condition Barnacles had fastened on
the vessel, but these were soon scraped
away. 1t was said by one of the Off
GERS that the Oregon would be out of
dock again by Saturday or Monday.
