HIS LAST FAR1A|NG
Sir Thomas Upton Would
Yield Gladly
IF HE COULD CARRY HOME
That Bit of Silver the Sham
rock Couldn't Fetch.

] New York, Oct H.-Thomas Upton Is
quoted in a dispatch from London to the
Herald as saying of his second challenge
for the Americas cup: MY challenge is
probably the shortest ever sent to Amer
lea No conditions are attached except q
request as to the time when the races
shall be held. I want no fairer course
than the Sandy Hook course. I would
give every penny I have and begin again
at the bottom of the ladder, to lift the
Americas cup.''
Sir Thomas took the defeat of the
Shamrock very much to heart, for he was
firmly convinced that she was better
boat than the Columbia, and that she
should win under ordinary circumstances
But he accepted the result like true
sportsman and did not seek to make any
excuses.
When Shamrock is fitted out for her
voyage to America Sir Thomas will make
use of the knowledge gained in handling
the first Shamrock. He will entrust his
new yacht to new shippers. If in their
hands she fails to lift" the cup, Sir
Thomas will concede that Americans have
no peers as yacht builders. 81 take off
my hat to the Herreschoffs,'' said he.
''They are wonderful men. 1 would give
all I have, to build on this side of the
water a craft better than they can pro-
duce. If money can build a yacht super
ior to the Herreschoff boat, then 1 will
bring the cup back to England"

$500, GOO This coin is steadily coming in
through the various bank agencies, and
it is safe TO shy that in about six weeks
or TWO months at most but little of the
old circulating medium will remain on
the island.
In the larger coast towns. such as San
Juan, Ponce, and Mayaguez, where the
Government has established direct ex-
changes. the provincial coin is exceed
ingly scarce, being entirely replaced by
American gold. bills and silver; but in
the small, isolated interior towns the
new medium is almost unknown. The
Spanish Bank at San Juan up to date has
put out about 100000 in paper, which,
although more or less wildcat" is
readily accepted and fast getting into

The Chinese Question.

There is a noticeable divergence be-
tween the views expressed in Administra-
ton circles regarding the diplomatic sit
uation relatively to China, and those
which we get from England and Europe.
In official Washington it is said that there
is a prospect that the powers will come
around to the Russo-American proposal,
although, perhaps. In modified form.
But our cable dispatches convey very
different impression.
They seem to indicate that instead of
any inclination on the part Of England
Germany, France, Austria, or Italy to go
to ST. Petersburg. Russia is displaying a
viii .fngness to drop the point of a militia
ry evacuation of Pekin, and to accept
TieAtsin as the temporary headquarters
of the legations. and the scene Of the
peace negotiations, by way of eompTo
mise.
To that solution we do not see why any
one should object. 1t matters little
where the representatives of the powers
81. while making out their bills against
Chiatl 1t would be quite another thing
81 the fanatical vanity of the Chinese
were to be fed by retreat from the
caidtaI which inevitably would be con-
strred as defeat of the allies. And the
necessity for holding Pekin in strong
force is emphasized by evidence that the
Empress DoSager and her Government,
while pretending a desire to treat for
,,eaee, are actually engaged in a desper-
ate effort to combine the southern prov
inces in a war against the powers. to find

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
Governor Allen Discusses His Tour
of the Island.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, Sept. Cow
eraor Allen returned today after having
been absent a week making a tour OF the
island. In an interview he said that here
tofore the reports from the interior have
been colored by prejudice. The Govern
ment officials at San Juan had never Wis
tied the towns. which was the only way
in which accurate information could be
obtained On his tour he was accom-
panied by only a native interpreter He
stopped first at Aibonita, whence he
Travelled with pack mules. The people
were hospitaole and gave him a genuinely
hearty reception. He slept every night
at some native home as the guest of the
householder.
The people turned out in large numbers
everywhere to greet him, and he had an
opportunity TO talk with them and TO
learn their condition and hopes. There
were great many poor people every
where. as there always has been in tbs
tropics. Their poverty. however. was
not hopeless. They did not ask for
charity as paupers. but for work, and
their condition could be easily aIlevi8ted.
The recent hurricane has done vast dam
age, but the country was recovering
from its effects. The present crop OF
bananas was the largest that had hesn
produced in years. There were also good
crops of rice, beans. and corn.
The people were encouraged to fad
that the Government was interested in
their welfare No anti-Amerieanism was
observed. Governor Allen made en-
quiries and learned that the natives did
not desire change Of government. They
were more anxious for prosperity than
anything else.
The Executive Council has districted
the island according 10 the Foraker reso-
luton The Council. consisting of five
Porto Ricans. submitted majority and
minority reports on the districting. The
majority report was adopted, and this
caused the Republicans to claim a victory
over the Federals. Diego Camunas. a
member of the Council. resigned today.
The Federals will protest to Washington
against the action of the Council.

Women Missionaries in China.

One development of the war in China
should have particular attention from all
who are interested in missionaries and
their work Recent dispatches state that
some Of the women missionaries sta
toned in towns far inland have suffered
martyrdom in ways too horrible to relate.
In one case two of these women we're on
the way to the coast under escort. and
were treated with the greatest indignity
by their pretended protectors, and SUISSE

1t may not be generally known to peo-
pie who do not read the Missionary
Herald" and kindred works, that it is not
at all uncommon for two women or even
one alone, to be gent to inland stations,
miles from any men Of :heir own race to
whom they could appeal, and in many
instances without even reliable protec-
tion from the natives. True, this is not
often done in countries where the inhab-
itants are known to be hostile to mission
work, but it must be remembered that,
especially in Oriental lands. there is
always a slumbering antaeonism toward
famed into furious outbreaks, in which
case women will not be eee,Apt, any more
than men, from the violence of the en-
ragged people. Such defence as the per-
sonal attaches of the mission can offer
Is usually very slight. and though the
