Upton to Challenge

The Boston Herald's Glasgow special
says; You may announce upon the au-
thority of Sir Thomas Upton himself,
that he will challenge for the America
cup i'll 1901
Designer Watson has received orders
to get the lines of the new challenger
which will be called Erin. lie will be
prepared to give out the contract as soon
as terms for the next match are arranged
by the Royal Ulster and New York Yacht
clubs. Hon. Charles Russell who is Sir
Thomas legal adviser, has looked into
all the terms of the former matches and
has found that in case the Naikyrie III
should not be the fastest British yacht
after trial, Dunraven should be allowed
to substitute another yacht for the chal-
lenger. These terms will be asked by
Sir Thomas because he will send both
| the Shamrock and Erin to America III
the late spring of 1901, and thus give
them at least two months of trial prac-
tice. Should the improved Shamrock be
faster than the Erin, then he would ask
that she be sailed in cup races.

In the local anxiety over the solution

the river improvements which are being
made to open the river to tho sea. Before
railroad lines were thought OF on this

the open river to the sea and built hopes
on the great development which would
take place when this great artery Of trade
was opened to commerce. Few people

"We have purchased two boats--one

more boats, which will be constructed In

The keel fot one Of the largest boats was
laid in our yards in Portland only a few

construction in smaller towns up the

ENDORSED By THE CABINET.
Policy of the President Toward
China Approved,

China Approved.
The charge made in European newspa-
pers that the Administrators attitude
concerning China had been arranged With
regard to the necessity to the political
campaign and that a new policy would be
initiated after the election was discussed
at Cabinet meeting yesterday attended
by every member. 1t was with particular
reference to this charge that the Presi
dent called on Secretary Hay to explain
what the course of the Government lad
been since the beginning of the Chinese
troubles and Mr.. Hay went over the
ground carefully, insisting that there had
not been single Inconsistency in carry
ing out the purposes of the United States.
He proved TO the satisfaction of mis- col
leagues that the note of July 3, addressed
to the powers, in which the attitude of
the American Government was outlined,
had been adhered to strictly In all sub
sequent negotiations and was even now
the keynote of the Administration Ioli-
cy.
Mr.. Hay occupied two hours in his re-
view of the course which the Government
had pursued and held the attention of the
President and his colleagues during that
time. When he had concluded the Presi-
dent called for the views Of the Cabinet on
the question of the wisdom of the American
policy and the method Of carrying 1t out.
There WIGS a unanimous endorsement of the
course OF the President and the Secretary
Of State
The President and Mr.. Hay convinced
the Cabinet that they had not been in
fuenced in any way by matters of internal
policy in conducting military operations
and diplomatic negotiations with regard to
China, and the announcement was made
by the President that the course which had
been mapped out in the very beginning Of
the trouble in the Chinese Empire would
continue to be pursued.
No credence is placed here in the report
that the Russian commander at Tlentsin
has announced that his Government in
tends to hold part OF that city permanently
having acquired 1t by right of conquest
While the statement from Tientsin that
the Russians have taken possession of the
railroad station and an adjacent area are
not doubted it is believed that Russia has
no intention OF holding any Chinese terri
tory permanently without the consent Of
the other powers. Russia has made what
amounts to a pledge OF that character and
this Government is willing to accept it in
good faith.
