In his letter he dwells upon the impossibil- ity of China opening to foreigners towns which are not in her possession. but which are held by Russian troops and points out the complications which would be likely to follow.

 Washington.

Impressed with the heretofore expressed willingness of China to open Manchuria ports, reinforced by the as surances given to this government by Russia along the same lines. the off, cials continue firm in their belief that the situation ultimately will be clarified.

 The dense fog which shut down on the racing yachts when they had sailed about five miles of the last leg of the course put an end to the racing. For an hour afterward they sailed for the lightship, each hidden from view of the other and both out of sight from the.

The White Star liner Majestic passed the lightship and disappeared in the direction from which Shamrock III. was coming long before the challenger reached the lightship, but passed her without mishap.
 Shamrock III. had been heading the old boat by five minutes when the fog shut down, so that when Shamrock I. was the first to appear at Sandy Hook lightship, where the Erin waited, the anxiety on the Erin was increased. The Erin's whistle joined with that of the lightship as guide to the missing boat, land ten minutes after the old boat she appeared, sailing under her jib only, and was taken in tow of the Erin. Shamrock III. had beaten the old boat three minutes and forty-five seconds to the turn and was five minutes ahead when the fog rolled in.
 The course was a beat to windWard fifteen miles south-southwest from Sandy Hook lightship, and spinnaker run back. Under clear skies and in a snappy ten-knot wind the Shamrocks crossed the starting line side by side, with the new boat in the windward po- sition by half her length. The starting time was:
 Shamrock I.................... u:a0:01 Shamrock II................... 11:00:0S
 Captain Beyis gave the old boat a good full while the challenger pointed close. to the wind as they ran southwest along the Hook. Half an hour after the start, when they tackled, the challenger led by an eighth of a mile. For three-
 quarters of an hour they worked off shore, the two captains in a hot and ex- citing contest for the windward posi- ton. The wind suddenly shifted from south-southeast to south, and the old boat, being toward but astern, gained a minute by it.
 The wind freshened to nearly fifteen
