wheel in this vicinity depending upon
the river for power, is turning today,
because of the step taken yesterday at
Spier Falls. The gates of the dam were
dropped at Sis and almost Immediately
the effect below the dam was noticeable.
During the night the river at Glens Falls,
ten miles below Spier Falls, fell several
feet and this morning the dam OF the
Finch Pruyn Company, and the Inter
national Company is high and dry. The
mills were forced to shut down. The
falls here are bare and the river can be
crossed on the bottom. The same con-

men and boys are searching the dry
river bed for bodies of the Italians
drowned in the ferry boat fatality last
March. Twenty or more were drowned,
but only nine bodies were recovered.

The suItan's Predicament.

Constantinople, Aug. 2l.-Thepredic
ament of the Sultan, owing to the Balkan
uprising, is daily becoming more acute.
From all sides demands for protection
are pouring in on him in many cases
from the powers. Today the Austrian
Ambassador sent note to the Sultan
demanding better protection for the
Austrian consul at Monastir, and also
for the Oriental railway connecting
Turkey and Europe. The railway is
run by an Austrian syndicate. The
Greeks in Macedonia continue 10 de-
mand arms. They are becoming more
alarmed daily, as they fear the Turkish
troops almost as much as they do the
insurgents. The Sultan, however, is
afraid to give them the arms they desire,
as they might, when armed, rise them
selves and he would then have another
element to contend with.

w. G. CLIFFORD, of Pottsville, Pa,
believes that he has solved the servant
problem. He has completed arrange
ments with the Liberian Migration 80
cietv of the South, and several similar
ORGANIZATIONS, to carry $4,000 colored
Girls TO the North. The girls will be
used not only as servants in residences
and hotels, but also as operatives in fac
tories. Their transportation he pro-
poses to begin at once. New Orleans
will be the central point of shipment.
This movement will afford colored girls
an opportunity to become useful and
respected in the communities in which
their lots may be cast, and it remains to
be seen whether they will take advan-
ta0e of it. If Mr.. Clifford will show
himself capable of carrying out his inten-
tons he will prove to be greater friend
of the colored race than the many who
are always theorizing but never acting
Colored girls, however, should they be
induced to 90 North, will find that they
will be no better treated there than they
are at home.

The RACES between Shamrock and
Reliance will probably settle no question
of yacht building and will therefore
prove of little practical advantage. The
distinctive styles-hat bottom and keel
have been practically abandoned and
the two yachts are built almost on the
same lines. Nor is the nationality Of
the boats strictly observed, as the Amer
lean boat is fitted with English made
sails and manned by a Scotch captain
and crew composed largely Of Nor
wegians. The races between Shamrock
l and Columbia, and Shamrock II and
Columbia showed better the skill of the
shippers than the difference in the sail
ing qualities Of the boats, and the result
of the present races will probably prove
little more.
