Russian Warships Must Stop Repair
ing and Depart.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 20.-The Russian
torpedo-boat destroyer Grozovoi has
been ordered to stop repairing and
either to leave this .harbor at once or to
disarm. The Russian cruiser Askold
must leave here on Monday at noon.
These orders were issued by the Taotai
of Shanghai 1t is believed in official
circles that both warships will disarm.
The Taotai notified the Russian Con-
sui General here that if his orders for
the two vessels to leave port or disarm
were not at once obeyed the Chinese
Government would effect the disarma-
ment of the ships and that their crews
would be held in custody until the ter
mination of the war. Permission to re-
pair the boilers of the Askold was re-
fused. The Taotai contends that the
Askold came into port with two engines
and two sets of boilers in operation,
and that she must leave port in the
same condition.
The change in the date set for the
departure of the Russian ships Git was
previously announced that the Askold
would be permitted to remain at Shang-
hal until next Tuesday, is due to an
intimation from Japan that China was
siding with Russia and that China's re-
sponsibility in the matter was serious.
China disclaimed responsibility if Rus
sia failed to observe her neutrality.
| The japanese Consul General here de-
clares that the Grozovoi and Askold
are seaworthy and that they have been
gaining time to repair to their full
fighting capacity.

Before wheat was raised in Califor-
mia. the Makawao district grew large
quantities of that cereal for the Cali
fornia market, but of late years the
raising of wheat on Maui has been
abandoned.
E. H Bailey, a prominent rancher
of Makawao, is putting forth intelli-
gent efforts to restore cereal and hay
culture on Maui with what promises
fattering results. Mr.. Bailey cores
pended with the United States Agri-
cultural Department on the subject,
and was advised to experiment with
Maccaroni wheat, which is peculiarly
adapted to a dry climate. He pro-
cured two or three bushels about
three months ago, and seeded over
couple of acres. The wheat has matur-
ed and produced a big crop, practically
without rain A sheaf of this wheut
was brought TO the News office, where
it is now on exhibition. The stalks
are large and strong, and the wheat
averages over four feet in height. The
grain is bearded like barley, and the
heads measure from three to four in
ches in length. and are closely filed
with a small, dark grain. The flour
from this wheat is dark. but very nu-
tritious, and much esteemed as bread
by the Portuguese
nthar Of w also s)arleV
and oats were sown by Mr.. Bailey and
all did well except the oats. The cut
worms have not proved in the least
troublesome this year.
Mr.. Bailey is also successfully ex-
perimenting with a new hay known as
speltz. This somewhat resembles wheat
hay, and is peculiarly adapted to
dry climate. 1t is successfully grown in
the dry lands of Texas. Mr.. Bailey is
confident that speltz will prove a sue
| cessful hay crop on Maui, and as hay
ranges from $50 to $40 a ton, it should
prove valuable crop.

rapidly as it has in the Pierre
Mitchell capital contest in this city.
On the start Mitchell seemed to be
the fayorite, but now il is the other

three prominent business men in
Howard for Mitchell, the balance
are for Pierre and they tell us that

The Press is not an organ for

troversy which already has excited
so many portions of the state. We
have made no engagement with the

do We expect TO make any. What

as to what will be wise for the state

that there are at least two reasons
why those interested in the agricul-
tural college at Brookings ought to
oppose capital removal.
First, because depriving two
thirds of the state of any public
institutions whatever would GER
tainly increase the danger of
attempts at removing institutions as
now located.
Second, because ven if these
attempts could be overcome, after
great worsyana ccns derable expense

fore many much needed features
have been omitted because the tax
payers will not tolerate such large
drafts upon their funds; while reali-
ization of funds from these endow-
ments will save the people a large
part of the taxes they now pay.

Of the boomers of either Mitchell or
Pierre.
There is one phase of the case
which it seems to the Press, ought
to engage the concern of Brookings
and of every community in South
Dakota in which a public institution
is located. That phase is the danger
of starting movements for BE
relocation of such institions. Every
city or town that has the advantage
of possessing such a location, .haz-
ards its advantage by contributing
to the unsettling Of the present dis
tribution.
Taking the capital away from
Pierre would leave without a single
public institution an area extending
from Aberdeen, Redfeld and Plank
inton on the east to Rapid City on
the west an area including two
thirds of the entire state.
1t is to be presumed that such an
area, covering two-thirds Of the
whole state, would be content to be
thus deprived for any great number
of years? Would it not be newt
able that crusades would be iuaugu-
rated before long, seeking to capture
a due share Of those seventeen pub
lie institutions. monopol lied by one.
third Of the state? To resist such
crusades would entail expenses
and the demand made by the
deprived two thirds would have a
fair showing of justice in it's behalf.
In case such efforts at reprisal
should be made, there would be no
submission of the question to a vote
of the people of the state. The
matter would be determined bv a
majority of the legislature. Who
can insure Brookings, or any other
locality nov having a public mstitu-
ton, that a combination for captur-
ing two or three Of these institutions
might not be made? There are
several counties which now have
nothing in this line and that are
outside Of the two-thirds area
referred to, which might be enlisted
in such legislative combination.
The strongest possible guaranty
against such a combination would be
to allow this two-thirds of the state
to retain the capital, instead of
removing it to a section which
already has more than its share of
public institutions. Therefore
Brookings and and all the other
communities already enjoying these
locations should be industrious in
resisting capital removal.
In addition to these special con
siderations, there is another Of a
more general character, which
already has been emphasized by
supporters of Pierre. The lands

ton in the state, and four times as
as large as any except two Of hem.

About the only thing the Mitchell
capital boomers can do is to sling
mud at the western half Of our

votes in the southeast part of the
state by their mud singing than
their money can buy back. We
were surprised when we were down

queer rhenomen. of Falling Bodies

Queer Phenomena of Falling Bodies.
l am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or 9th
er heavy body dropped from the top
Of high tower, but it is nevertheless
a curious fact that such objects invari-
ably fall slightly to the east Of the per-
pendicular line. Persons Of tnquiring
turn of mind who ask why this is as it
is may find an answer in the following:
All falling bodies partake of the earth's
eastward motion to greater or lesser
extent. Therefore during the time oc-
cupied by stone in falling from the
top of high tower or other elninence
the earth's rotary motion has carried
it an appreciable distance to the east.

carried 1t to the eastward also, there
