COLUMBIA FASTEST BOAT.
Again Defeats Constitution in the
Trial Races,


Newport. R. l., Aug. 13.-The Consti-
tuition covered the triangular course of
thirty miles Yesterday in SO seconds less

1899, however, wins the race on time all
lowance by about 80 seconds. No COR

ton had allowed the Columbia / min

measurement the new rig of the Consti-
tuition has made is not known, but 1t is
estimated that she now allows the old
boats only few seconds less time, IL
any.
The finish was the noteworthy and the
only feature of the contests When

Port Angeles Thursday night. His body
was found on the beach eight miles
from Port Angeles, Friday, with a bullet

heart. He held a revolver in his right
hand, with only one chamber empty.
Investigation shows that the revolver
had been pressed against his breast and
fired. as the bullet did not penetrate his
clothing. AT Victoria. three days before,
he had drawn s675 from hotel safe. and
also displayed large package of letters

Another Statement From Wilson.

Washington, Aug. i3.-Secretary Will
son, who has just concluded tour thru
the corn belt, in communication re-
ceived at the department Of agriculture
yesterday, says:
THE corn crop is very seriously in
jured in all the great corn-growing
states The spring was wet, and much
of the crop was planted late on account
of the land being saturated. This pre-
vented vigorous growth until the ground
dried and warmed up. 1t also resulted in
shallow planting and inclined the roots
to remain near the surface until the dry,
hot weather came, when the plant was
not in the best of condition to resist. II
is strikingly observable that most crops
as could sustain heavy yields of grain.
such as the route from Chicago to Bur-
lnigton, Iowa, which l attribute to de-
layed growth in the spring.
The corn along the O. in southern
Iowa is very light on both hill and val
ley. 1 do not think half of it will be
worth husking and the other half does
not now promise more than half of an
average crop at the outside. This also
may be said of Nebraska corn and Kan
sis is suffering still more.
THE crop in central Iowa promises
better. 1t has heavier stalks, but an ex-
animation of the ears show incomplete
fertilization. Sufficient rain has not yet
fallen to carry on the crop to maturity
in most Of the states of the great corn
belt.
Northern Iowa and Minnesota have
lighter crops that look green and
healthy, but need rain, and can not have
average crops on account Of imperfect
fertilization. A striking fact Is thealr-
gent need of more rain so that the fea-
ture will be a prominent factor in the
final estimates.
"The injury to corn is so serious that
1t is very easy to overestimate the crop.
The full extent Of the damage will not
appear to the reporters until later. when
the worst is dried up and the best dem
onstrated how Ear imperfect pollination
has affected 1t.
Wheat is reported good everywhere.
Oats are reported light in most states,
owing to hurried ripening. The same is
said of barley. Potatoes are very seri-
ously injured south Of Minnesota. Hay
Is said to be excellent. The wet, cold
spring was favorable to grasses. and
plenty of hay is secured In fine condi-
ton.
II got estimates on Iowa OF a two
thirds corn crop. 1t will be less. I be-
lieve. If rain does not coon come still
more injury will result. There are To-
calities that have had seasonable show.

however, can vet tell the full extent OF
the damage nor the probabilities for the

the United States legation at Caracas,
asked the state department several DAYS
ago for authority to look after Colom-
Dian interests should the Colombian
minister to Venezuela withdraw. The
authority was cabled TO him, and unoffi-
clai adNlceS say that the Colombian
minister has left Caracas
Russell expressed apprehension that
the diplomatic relations between the
Two countries would soon bessevered and
SAID that the Colombian. minister had
asked him TO look after Colombian in
teresta The state department. Informed
Russell that he had full authority to do
so, provided he was acceptable to the
Venezuelan government. In taking
charge of Colombian interests Russell
merely acts in the same way as did the
British consul at Santiago, who repre-
scented American interests before war
Was declared between the United States
and Spain
II is said at the state department that
the action of Colombia in getting the
representative of another country to
look after its interests when trouble is
impending with Venezuela indicates
either that the Colombian minister was
recalled by his government. that he had
received his passports from the vene-
zuelan government, or that he had left
temporarily pending further Develop
ments.
There has been no report from Russell
saying definitely that the Colombian
minister has been recalled, but in view
of the conditions described in his dis
patch it is the opinion of some of the of
ficers that diplomatic relations have
been severed and that further trouble
may be expected. There is no informa-
ton as to the situation in the isthmus

Machias GETTING Ready.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 1.-THE gunboat
Machias, en- route for Colon, has been
loading coal, provisions and ammunition
in Hampton Roads since Saturday. A
large part of the supplies came from
the Brooklyn navy yard, and a great
deal of the ammunition was prepared at
the st. Helena magazine here. The ves-
sci is likely to sail at any moment. She
will carry full complement of men. A
number of graduated apprentices from
the training ship Lancaster, now in port,
have been transferred to the Machias.
1t is not probable that the boat will put
in at any other port between here and
her destination.

po,t,s Wonderland Theater.

A remarkable record has been made all week by the fine bill of vaudeville at Polls, and such attendance Is due largely to the special excellence of Golden, the illusionist, and the comedy, "Dickey," which is presented by Clay ton White, Marie Stuart and Belle Darcy The olio of speciality acts is also very complete and meritorious.
 For next weeks bill MT. Poli again presents all vaudeville people, with a skit called "A Friend in Need" at the head of the list, played by Hal Merritt and Florence Murdock. Merritt is a very clever fellow who can do lots of queer stunts owing to his amusing ver- satility. Miss Murdock, his assistant, is pretty and a capital comedienne. Hall and Staley will present their hu- morous burglarious visit, The Three Nevarros will give their acrobatic act, and D'Afma's monkeys will kick up all sorts of shines as only monkeys can. Adalna Roatino, the young Italian prima donna, will sing.

The unpleasant weather did not de- ter large audience from attending the fine presentation of Owen Davis melo- drama, Lost in the Desert" at the Grand opera house last night. The play will be repeated again to-day, matinee and night. If stormy scenes and new ideas in stage craft count for any thing then Lost in the Desert" is cer- tainly a gigantic success. One partic-
 ularly thrilling scene is where a man is lashed to the back of horse and
 turned loose; the scene opens with the
 horse going at full speed with the hap less rider apparently unconscious. He
 continues so for few moments when a second rider appears with the evident
 intention of trying to rescue his friend. The race between the two horses is most exciting. The cast is said to be a most capable one. A big feature is the Bedouin Arabs in acrobatic perform ances. Seats now on sale Regular prices.
