Russia Orr Great Rival.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The state
department has received from Consular
Agent Harris, at Eibenstock, report
showing the extent of Germanys grain
importation from Russia and from the
United States In 1897 Russia sold Ger
many $27 ,302, 41O worth more of grain
than did the United States, but in 1900
the United States was only S4,947,25O
worth behind her European rival. Mr..
Harris says the competition between
Russia and the United States to supply
the nonproducing grain countries of Blu
rope will become sharper every year New
railroads and canals building in Russia
will enable her to move her crops with
more ease toward the German frontier
than formerly, and when Austria has
completed her network of canals direct
water communication from Russia to the
heart of Germany will be established.
The only thing which will enable the
United States in the future to compete
successfully with Russia in the grain mar
kets of Germany will be cheaper ocean
freight rates, says Mr.. Harris.

COLUMBIA WINS AGAIN.
Constitution Fairly Beaten by Il
Old Defender.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 23.-The
Columbia gave the Constitution a good
sound beating yesterday twice around
the Seawanhaka triangular course. On
corrected time the old boat won by pm.
5s. and on elapsed time by I'm. 39s.
But the figures do not represent the
decisiveness of the Columbia's victory,
for as a matter of fact she beat the new
boat twice. The first time around the
triangle of 1434 miles the Columbia gain
ed over five minutes. Then a sniff Of
wind on the short leg across the sound
put the Constitution upon even terms,
when new race was practically started,
the breeze now coming true again. This
time the Columbia gained over minute
end half. 1t was day of fluky sound
breezes, but if either boat got any adj
vantage from the frequent chances in the
wind il was the Constitution. 1t was at
no time white cap breeze, and the sea
was smooth, conditions which have here
tofore always favored the Cons: tuition.
The new boat did not seem to have any
of the speed she has shown in light airs
The summary was as follows:
Columbia-Start, ] 80; finish. 5:23:32;
elapsed time, 3h. ISM. 32s; corrected
time, Oh 47m. AS

del Zorro hail from Bluelields, Nicaragua.
The United States gunboat Machias an
chored yesterday in Colon harbor.
The censorship here prevents the trans
mission of political news or news unfa-
vorable to the government.
The revolt of the Liberal Colombian reb-
| els, now two years old, lately assumed
more serious aspect by the Liberals con-
centration on the isthmus 1t is believed
they are contemplating aggressive action.
Consequently uneasiness prevails at Pan
anna, the Liberal objective, which was
nearly captured a year ago. 1t is not be-
lieved the rebels will modest the railroad
or interrupt traffic.
The recent rebel activity along the rail
road amounted to bloodless raiding and
the robbery of Chinese storekeepers,
which the presence of few government
troops apparently stopped. There is a re-
port that the government is bringing
troops to protect the isthmus. This will
be difficult without exposing to rebel at
tacks the points whence they are taken.
The area of the revolt is extensive.
A noticeable, distinguishing feature of
the revolution is the actual moral support
ella, Ecuador and Nicaragua, in which
countries Liberal governments prevail.
Colombia's Conservative government is
not popular with the governments of the
countries mentioned, but it is popular
with the revolutionary elements i'll the
same countries. The situation can be
likened TO disrupted federation. COM

and Nicaragua in which Liberal and Con-

intrigues threaten international trouble.
1t is reported that the Conservative re-
volt in Venezuela is receiving actual sup
port from the Colombian Conservatives.
Nicaragua's threatened revolt will proba-
bly, be similarly aided on the occasion
arising.
The conditions give ground for the re-

BITEFATALTOTHREE
Infected Mosquitoes Caused
Death In Havana.
INTERESTING YELLOW FEVER TESTS.
Thus Far This Month Only Two Have
Died From the Disease as Com
pared With the August Az
erage of Fifty.

HAVANA, Aug. 27-Of the eight per
tons bitten by infected mosquitoes in con-
nection with the experiments conducted
; by the yellow fever board during the last
three weeks three have died. Three 9th
ers who took the fever are expected to
recover. One has not developed the dis
ease The eighth person as yet has not
developed yellow fever, although it is too
early to say what will happen in that
case.
Surgeon Major Reed intends to con-
tnue the Investigations. Major Gorgas,
chief sanitary officer, says the idea OF the
yellow fever BOARD was to subject to mos
quito infection as many as would volun-
teer. Sixteen persons had been bitten,
and all had recovered, and the theory or
the board was that if some hundred OF
more persons could have been bitten with
similar results a report could have been
published showing how apparently safe
and easy it was to become immune. AFTER
this had been published the entire popula-
ton might have been immunized. So
many cases gave mild results that the i'm
preston was created that the danger was
not so great as it has turned out to be.
Thus far during August there have been
two deaths from yellow fever in Havana
as compared wiz an average of more
than 80 for the month of August during
the previous II years. Major Gorgas re-
CARDS the experiment in mosquito infec-
ton as of immense service to science.
The man who was bitten by an infected
mosquito after incubation with the Sc
rum of DIR. Caldas, the Brazilian expert,
has developed what seem to be symptoms
of yellow fever The yellow fever board
calls the case suspect.

it is passed off painlessly, without danger.
Therefore, Calcura Solvent, the full name
of this greatest medical discovery of the
age, exactly defines what the medicine
does and how it does it. 1t goes to the
cause of disease, removes it, and the cure is
lasting. At the same time it tones up the
whole system, regulates the bowels, puri-
fies and enriches the blood, and strengthens
the nerves. All this is necessary, for
serious disease of one great vital organ al
ways involves others. Calcura Solvent was
discovered in 1898 by that veteran ply
stefan and surgeon, DR.. David Kennedy. 1t
has cured thousands. Kidney disease af-
flicts in many ways. Do not fritter away
time trying to cure symptoms while the
great cause is sapping away your life. Cal
