London. Aug. 20.-The calling off of the
race for the Americas cup caused de-
eided disappointment in London. The pa
pers published hourly editions through
out the day. The first reports regarding
the weather at Sandy Hook inclined the
public to believe that the Shamrock had
IDEAL conditions. and the news that the
Reliance had outfooted her in the drifting
match was a complete disillusion. Several
papers had arranged to announce the
progress and result of the contest by fire
works and balloons. Crowds fingered III
the streets in the dismalest sort OF Lon
don drizzle in the hope that the Wlnd
would sfreshen and permit Of finish, but
early in the evening it became apparent
that the race could not finish within the
time limit and the crowds dispersed, ieav-
ing only few enthusiasts around the
tickers in the hotel corridors to receive
the official announcement that the race

when observers noted that Shamrock III
had caught a little slant of WIND tfoh
the west and was cutting down the lead.
The Reliance promptly went about Wheh
a mile away from the turn, and catching
the westerly wind, scurried away Tor the
mark at almost a racing pace. The W'hd

after the Reliance turned the racers mct

that the Reliance's actual lead was SIX

Just at that moment the Regatta Com

OUTBREAK IN CHINA
A Rising Which Threatens to
Involve the Whole
Country.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, August 20.-A news agency dis
patch received here from Port Arthur,
says:
From the different provinces of China
come reports of a rising which threatens
to involve the whole country. The SEMI
official Novkrai says:
The moment has come, when in view
of the antagonism of German and British
interests, an AngloAustrian approachment
is desirable, as a counterpoise to the move
ment in Germany and America, which is
crossing the interests of Russia and Great
Britain, and to the activity of Japan,
which wishes to make the streets of Corea
yellow Bosphorus. AT present Russian
and British interests now here clash. An
AngloRussian alliance is possible, and it
is also necessary in order to protect Eu-
rope against the yellow danger
THE Noykkrai proceeds to strongly at
tack the/Russian papers, which urge Rus
sia to wind up her affairs in Manchuria
and which describe her policy in the Far
East as a costly blunder.
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from
ST. Petersburg dated yesterday says:
''The situatoion in the Far East is be-
coming more acute. Even in Manchuria
the Chinese are assuming an insolent at
titude towards the Russians particularly
towards the troops. At one place stones
were thrown at the commander of the
troops. While all Russians are the OBJ
jects of insult, a spirit of opposition to
the Chinese government is also mani
tested,

TIE TOBACCO TRUST.
The Plan to Meet This Monopoly as seeu by
Mr.. W. ]. Peele.

Smokers and chewers should simply or
ganize and refuse to chew or smoke any
trust made tobacco, not because they are
users of tobacco, but as patriotic citizens
who desire to see their fellow-citizens
who raise the weed have fair play and
reasonable profits. Those who use the
weed have the situation in their hands,
and they can with ease establish justice
and promote domestic tranquility without
recourse to law or politics. Our fore
fathers refused to drink tea which was
taxed in the interest of monopoly in
England and all history has rung with
their praises. Now, l simply propose
that the people refuse to chew or smoke
or dip tobacco in any form which is

Constantinople, Aug. 20.-The Russian
squadron arrived off India, on the east
ern coast of European Turkey yesterday
afternoon.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Min
ister, visited the Russian Ambassador and
notified him that the Turkish government
accepted all the Russian demands and
begged that the Russian squadron be
withdrawn from Turkish waters.
The news of the impending arrival of
the Russian squadron is spreading, not
withstanding the continued suppression
of all kilograms and announcements on
the subject.
The general opinion of the Europeans
here Is that the time has arrived for a
vigorous Intervention and the abandon
ment of all semi measures, which are re-
garded as the cause of the present ris-
ing.
According to the Turkish official reports
the strongest positions of the insurgents
are at Krushevo, Merihoro and Florina.
Contrary to previous reports 1t is now
stated officially that Krushevo is still
occupied by the insurgents
The headquarters of the revolutionists
is in the Peristeri mountains, in the vi
cinity Of Monastir. Women and children
are not molested by the insurgents, who
have destroyed only fortified dwellings
occupied by rich Turks. II is not denied
that they kill all Bulgarians and Greeks
found acting as Turkish spies, but the
strictest orders have been issued not to
interfere with women or children.
Brussels, Aug. 20.-The Independence
Beige says it hears that the powers have
arrived at an understanding regarding
the steps to be taken to suppress the
revolt and apply reforms in Macedonia.
According to this unconfirmed report Rus

Dardaneles and the Bosphorus; Austria
will act on land and Italy will exercise
surveillance over Albania. After peace

The Powers Confer.
lBy the Associated Pressl

London, Aug. 2O.-The Associated Press
learns that important negotiations are in
progress between the powers which prom
ise to result in the early adoption of
new plan for the settlement of the Mace
donian trouble. A Foreign Office official
said this afternoon:
1T is somewhat premature to say that
a definite agreement on the subject has
already been reached, as stated by the
Independence Beige, of Brussels, but notes
are being exchanged in this direction"
In other quarters it was intimated that
the scheme was partially on the lines re-
ferred to by the Belgian newspaper.
There is no doubt that an agreement
of some kind has been reached, as at
the beginning of the negotiations the
powers started with the general purpose
of cooperating and this harmony has
continued.
