In an address made by Prof. Jor-
dan, of the New York Experiment
Station, before the "New York
Farmers, on Fertilizers and their
Application, he said, and said most
truly, "The existence Of commercial
fertilizer should be no excuse for the
lazy farmer, as I am sure they have
been to some extent. The fact that
it is possible to procure plant food
ready for immediate use should be
no excuse for wasteful and careless
methods of handling and developing
the resources of the farm. It is pos
sible to maintain the farm in a high
state of fertility without using a
pound of commercial plant food. -
The most extensive rural mail ser
vice in the United States went into
effect August 18th in Washington
county, Va. There will be 73 carriers
and four travelling postofices. The
mail will be- delivered daily to over
40, 900 rural residences of the county.
The expense to the government will
be about $40, 600 per year. Eighteen
postofices have been discontinued in
the county as a result of the service,
and it is estimated that so of the 118
remaining officers will be abolished.
A unique feature of the service will
be an automobile mail car, to travel
a miles over the old National road
between Washington and Browns

The Yokohama correspondent of the

regarding the jealousy felt among the

ASTOR,S APOLOGY

Not Likely to Save Him from London
Society. Cold Shoulder.
London July 19.-Wn. Waldorf Astor
has expressed regret in the Pail Mall
Gazette for the famous paragraph about
Sir Archibald Berkeley Milne. Mr.. AS
tors apology was without doubt forced
by the action of the Prince of Wales,
who, when the matter was placed before
him, unhesitatingly expressed his indig-
nation and declared that unless an ann
pie apology was forthcoming Mr. Astor
could not be permitted to retain mem-
bership in the Marlborough club The
Prince Of Wales views were conveyed
to the club committee and Mr.. Astor
was notified that an apology alone
could save him from being expelled.
Though this apology is now forthcoming
and Mr.. Astor has narrowly escaped
the ignominy of public expulsion from
the club, it is widely asserted that his
forced repentance will not save him
from being d-shrouldered by all who
are not dazzled by his wealth.

OPERATIONS or THE RUSSIA Ms.
II ported Defeated In One Field and
Victorious In Another.

London, July 20-The Daily Express
publishes the following from Che Foo
dated yesterday: "The Russians are
hard pressed around Niu Schwang and
have been expelled from Tien Schwang
Tai. the scene of the great fight during
the Chino-Japanese war, where they
have sustained great losses. They have
also been compelled to abandon Tashi-
chau by a large body of Boxers and
armed peasants. Here again the Rus
SLAMS lost heavy, but it is reported that
they succeeded in killing seventy of
their assailants. The Chinese have
completely demolished the railway
north of Tashichau. The Russians are
now in Niu Schwang."
The Russians, according to the latest
news from st. Petersburg have COM
pletely defeated the Chinese and have
occupied Blagovestchensk, capital of
the Amur government, with a large
force. Since General Gribski (not Gri-
bovskD. chief of staff at Port Arthur,
has taken over the separate command
in Manchuria reinforcements have been
rapidly pushed up and the general sit
uation has been greatly improved,
The Russian minister of the interior
has issued a notice that the Siberian
railway is closed 10 private traffic.
There is little doubt that the Russian
authorities were not prepared for such
an organized Chinese movement in
Manchuria, but they have taken brisk
measures, and they believe that China
will soon be too much pre-occupied
with military operations around Pektn
to conduct serious operations In the
north.
The Daily Mails Shanghai correspon-
Dent says: "Advices from Vladisvostocl
state that the Chinese invasion of east
ern Siberia has stopped the Russian ad-
vance from the north on Pekin. The
Russians have burned the Chinese town
of Helampe and are adopting very Wig
orouS measures"

Furnish tho Administration ImpOr-
taut Information Upon Which TO Act.

Washington, July 19--The cabinet af-
ter discussing the Chinese situation at
length this afternoon decided to send
w. W. Rockhill, formerly secretary of
the legationat Pekin; assistant secre-
tary of state and now director of the
bureau of American republics, to China
to Investigate the situation and report

He Is we'll equipped for the mission,
having been secretary of the American

RACING OFF NEWPORT.
The ncoln Sailed by an ngiish Cap
tain Won Yesterday.

Newport, r. l., July 19.--The Mineola,
owned by August Belmont and sailed
by an English captain, won the race
to-day in the Newport Yacht Racing
associations series for seventy-footers,
finishing about half minute ahead Of
the Yankee, which was thus beaten for
the first time, either in this series or In
the New York Yacht club series last
week. Virginia was third and Rainbow
fourth, both some distance behind the
other two boats.
The course was the same as on Tues
day, triangular, fifteen miles around,
and sailed twice over. Early in the day
the wind was light from the north, CIV
ing poor prospects for the race, but just
before the start 1t shifted to southwest
and was soon blowing good club top
sail breeze. Rainbow was the first
across the line and In the reach for the
first leg made the best time. All the
yachts carried club topsails and jib top
sails. In windward work on the second
leg Rainbow was weathered by both
Mfneola and Yankee, Virginia losing by
going too far to westward. On the last
leg the reach to the start was covered
thirteen seconds and Rainbow and Vir-
ginia behind. Rounding into the first
leg Of the second round, the Mineola
and Yankee were very close, the former
apparently overhauling the American
boat. Coming to the mark, Mineola
tried to work to the windward of Yam
kee, and lufflng match ensued, during
which Rainbow and Virginia made up
some time. Luffing ended only when
Mineola was forced up into the wind,
and at the rounding mark there were
but few feet between her and Yankee,
the two boats being timed as just five
seconds apart. On the next leg they
stuck close together, Yankee holding
the windward position better and gain
ing a trifie. There was no change in
the last reach home, and although Yam
kee finished first, she lost to Mineola on
elapsed time by thirty-two seconds.
