King without Power.

Belgrade, June ls.-The position OF
King Peter |. promises TO be little
more than that OF a royal captive. The
real government Of the country will
be a military dictatorship under the
leaders Of the revolution. Colonel Mas

king is almost without personal ad-
herents and the ruling spirits OF the
army. IL is thought. would Just as read.
lily murder him as they did his prede.

present the whole country is under
military rule. and although no projects
in the country districts have been re.
moved. each is accompanied by an
army officer, who attends the project
wherever he goes. even TO the tele-
phone. This policy has led TO one good
rcsult-not a single case OF disorder
anywhere has been reported. Extreme

WIND STILL SLEEPS
Looks as if There Might be
Enough Blow for a Race
Today.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 2.-The fourth attempt
to sail what was expected
to be the concluding race between the
Reliance and Shamrock III failed
miserably today. They were not even
sent across the line. Both boats were
towed out to Sandy Hook Lightship in a
dense fog and fiat calm at 10: 80 a. m. and
then waited two hours in the hope of {
wind from some other direction than tn,
east to blow away the fog and give then
speed enough to cover thirty miles within
five and half hours.
At 1890 o'clock the attempt was aban
doned- and announcement made tina
another attempt would be made tomorrow
Soon after the start homeward the wine
for the first time since the middle OF las
week shifted from easterly to south anf
began to breeze up an indication that
the long easterly fog null was breaking
and that tomorrow might give the yachts
the long deferred opportunity of going
through the formality of sailing the third
and probably concluding race
Persistent rumors were abroad last night
and this morning that Sir Thomas Upton
had said that if there was any chance foI
Shamrock III to win he would depose
Captain Wringe and put the yacht under
control of Mate Bevis; also that Sham
rock was found too long after her speed
trials, and that in bringing her up to the
proper measurements, she had been
stripped so much as to lose her speed.
Sir Thomas was told of these rumors
today and he said with emphasis:
"If / should build another boat and
come over here again the captain of il
would be Mr. Wringe, let that be his
commendation. These stories come from
people who visit me on the Erin and
make their own criticism. If l don't dis
sent they go away and say that prac
tically assent to the view they themselves
have asserted.
"Now, as to the second rumor, / vii

Washington, Sept. 2.-The administra-
tion has come to no decision regarding the
disposition to be made of the American
warships which are now sailing to Beirut

entirely upon the report which Minister
Leishman makes concerning the situation
in Turkey and the necessity which exists
for warships to protect American inter
ests. Is is expected that the report of
Minister Leishman will receive the consid-
Grafton of the President before any de-
termination is reached. 1t is understood
that Minister Leishmans complete report
will reach Washington about the time of

tobacco growers are abandoning large
fields of tobacco ON account of the heav-
lest crop of August worms ever known.
They have been careless in the sowing of
the crop on account of starvation prices
for the past two weeks. They attribute
their loss of interest to hot weather. but
it is simply on account of starvation
prices. We farmers in Halifax county will
be known to be dropping the uncertainty
after this year and return to our first
love-hog, hominy and cotton.
