Upton AND THE CUP.
Says He Has Not Given Up Hope Of
Lifting 1t.

Sir Thomas Upton has sailed fol
England, but before departing reiter.
Ated his purpose to try again for the
Americas cup, but will not be chal-
lenger next year. He said to the New
York reporters:
II am not desirous of holding mo-
nopoly In the matter of challenging for
the Americas cup. / propose to wait
for a reasonable time after l get back
to the other side and see If any of the
other British sportsmen desire to enter
challenge. AS a matter of fact it
takes mouths to prepare designs for a
new boat and then even when chal-
longing with new boat ten months
notice must be given. 1t would now
be well nigh impossible to challenge in
behalf Of ii new boat for race next
year.
Il will leave Shamrock II. ON this
side. She Will remain here all next
summer and will race with any and all
boats that care to meet her | think
she will have an American crew, per-
haps with British captain. | may
possibly send over some British sailors,
but the great majority of the crew will
be American.
Il was beaten by a better boat than
Shamrock III. Under these circum-
stances do not see how can ever ex-
pect to lift that cup with my boat.
Nobody ever saw Thomas Upton put
OH his coat in the middle of fight, and
the fight for that cup has only begun.
certainly mean to have another try
for II, maybe several.
1.-THE whole trouble is that you Yam
KEGS have designer that is entirely
too clever for us Britishers. The only
thing know to do is to 60 up to Bris-
toll and see Nat Herreshoff and buy
him off" jokingly declared Sir Thomas.
II think there are no girls like Amer
lean girls but you may say for me that
l will never get married until l lift
that cup"

THE CHINESE PROTOCOL.
Delay in Signing Causes Some I'm.
eaSiness-Li Hung Chang in
DisfaVOr.

Picking, Aug. 24.-The delay OF the
Chinese plenipotentiaries in signing
the protocol is causing some uneasi-
ness in the foreign community here, al
though the ministers of the powers do
not think that the Chinese intend tn
defy the powers by ultimately refusing
to sign. Indeed, they believe China is
anxious to wind up the negotiations
speedily. DEGREES reciting the punish
ments and suspending the examina-
tons will be issued before the Chinese
signatures are affixed. Prince Ching,
at the request of the empress dowagerr
telegraphed to her verbatim the re-
strictions as to the importation OF
arms. Ii Hung Chang, having practi'
cally conducted all the active negotia'
tions, has retired into the background,
leaving to Prince Ching the response
bility of concentrating the work. Earl
Ii finds himself in the same precarious
position that he occupied at the close
of the negotiations following the war
with Japan. The native press is unan'
imous in violently denouncing him for
what is called his surrender to the for
eigners, and a number of officials have
petitioned the emperor to punish him
for betraying his country.
London, Aug. 24.-"Immense guam
titles of arms and ammunition are
being manufactured in the arsenal!
of China" says the PelIin correspond
emit of the Times, land immense guam
titles are also being imported, mainly
by way of the YangtseKiang."

TRADE TIDE TURNS.
Enlarged business mt Bet
ter Prices.

New York Aug. 2i-Bradstreets says:
Evidence multiplies that the tide OF trade
has turned, and that il is now setting
strongly in the direction Of an enlarged
business at steady or higher prices. Crop
Improvement, particularly in the central
west and the Mississippi valley, has been
the handspring OF the more cheerful tone
of a6vices and enlarged fall trade opera
lions at such cities as Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City. Even from the so-ealled
drought-stricken corn belt some sdvlces
Of a quite satisfactory business, In some
instances reports being of a larger jobbing
trade than in the corresponding period a
year ago.
prices, except for some irregularity IN
the cereals. have been generally quite
steady. Wheat was weak early on in
creased supplies afloat, enlarged receipts
at the northwest and technical market
conditions favoring decline. but strength
ened later on continued poor crop reports
from abroad, fairly large Clearances, al
though not equal to last week and general
care in present or better prices being main
taIned. Corn has sympathized largely
with wheat though weakening on its own
account on better crop advices from the
states east of the Mississippi where timely
rains have fallen. Net changes for the
week are slight. Some hog products, par
tlcularly lard, have sympathized with the
strength Of corn."'
r. 9. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
Of Trade, say:
Though there are some drawbacks,
notably the labor troubles in the iron and
STEEL industry, business is Of well-sustained
volume, TO which fact payments through
the cOuutry's clearing houses, railroad
earnings and the strength Of prices OF
staple and partly manufactured merchan-
disc offer ample testimony. The Anal
Eamated Association of Iron, Stee! and Tin
Plate Workers succeeded In enlistiEg the
sympathy of other woTkmen with the re-
suit that the output OF merchant bar and
wire rods is curtaileG to the extent OF
about 1000 tons monthly. Beyond this de-
lection, wage esrners in allied branches Of
the steel industry have refused to break
their contracts. Many idle mills resumed
during the past week, and even in the tin
plate region there Is a moderate output.
Plates have begun to arrive from abroad,
and prices in the London market sharply
| advanced. Hoop and sheet mills increase
production daily, and there Is no loss in
the rail division, but some anxiety Is felt
regarding supplies Of cotton ties as the
picking season has begun in many states.
Decreased consumption tends to weaken
pig iron, and tin is similarly affected.

United States, against III last year. and

which the United States has no direct
concern, except in properly safe
guarding American interests. The
event of an actual conflict between
Venezuela and Colombia there is felt
to be no occasion for action on the
part of this government, except in
pursuing the usual course of looking
after the property interest of ouI
citizens in that quarter. The state
department has no. official advicei

ISTORES WILD WORK SUPPORT CUMMINS
H. Il. Abrams Head of Anti
Saloon League Speaks.
Special to HERALD

Special to HERALD
Des Moines, Aug. 26.-H. H.
Abrams, superintendent of the Iowa
Anti-Saloon league, which holds the
snnuaI meeting in Des Moines today
and tomorrow, announced this morn
ing that he would support A. B.
Cummins for governor.
''I do not see how any temperate
man can do anything else than sup
port Cummins," he raid in an inter-
view upon the subject, 'since the
democrats have put in a plank de-
manding the repeal of the mulct law
and the adoption of high license
law"
Mr.. Abrams believes that large
number of prohibitionists will vote
with the republicans this year solely
on this issue. He cites the fact that
Judge E. r. Akers, of DEBORAH, form
erly one of the leading democrats in
northeastern Iowa, recently identi-
fed with the anti-ssloon work, has
denounced the democratic platform
and is out working for Cummins.
Mr.. Abrams position only reflects
that held by hundreds of other
temperance advocates in the country
whether in the past affiliated with
the republican, prohibition or demo-
cratic parties. He does not believe
that the talked Of attempts of pro-
hibitionists against Cummins will
materialize, and is of the opinion
that the mem who are behind such
schemes are either ignorant of the
true situation or are really in SYM
patty with the saloons. In most
instances, he thinks them misguided.

"I am not prepared to say but that JUS

you are tending, as shown by your actions,

CUTS DOWN SURPLUS.
Iieyed by the Workings of
Amended War Tax Law.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Government
officials are gratified at the decrease
in internal revenue receipts. The
enormous surplus accommodating in
the treasury vaults caused the eX-
perts to apprehend stringency in bust
ness circles unless a remedy was APP
piled. The amendment of the war
revenue tax at the last session Of
congress was supposed to be sufficient
to prevent a surplus, and while the
returns for the first month under the
amended law showed no relief the
books of the department now disclose
a decided falling off during the month
of August.
