the whole navy, but to increase its
strength. Some of the contracts will

facilities of Russian yards, and it is
expected that at least one big ship
will be constructed in America. The
disposition Is to turn toward France,
Germany and the United States, and a
great plant at Libai or on the banks
of the Neva directed by American
brains and possibly in association with
French and German enterprise. is one
of the possibilities of the near future.
Among the Americans here negotiat-
ing with the Russian government is

Warships May Threaten Turkey.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Minister Leish-
man has notified the State Department
from Constantinople that he has failed
to receive the expected satisfactory re-
ply from the Sultan touching the rights
of American citizens in Turkey. The
use of warships may be necessary to
bring Turkey to terms The situation
was regarded as sufficiently grave to
warrant some change in the program
that has been formed for the movement
of the United States naval vessels in
the Mediterranean.
While it was not decided to stop the
homecoming of the fleet of big battle
ships due at Gibraltar in a day or two,
the determination was reached to hold
Admiral Jewell commanding the Eu
ropean squadron. which was separated
from the battleship squadron and is
now at Vile Franche. &, The squadron
will remain in that vicinity until fur
ther orders. or at least will not come
further westward while the negotia-
tions are pending.

COLORADO CROPS
PROMISE TO BREAK THE RECORD
Railroad Officials Receive H'sn'S
couragins Reports From
All Sections.

Denver, Aug. 5.-Reports which are
being received at the Offices OF the
various railroads in this city lhdica'e
that the crops in the state thls yeai
will surpass any of those harvested III
the mast. The weather in the agrlcul-
tural districts has been nothing II not
Ideal. While there has been an
abundance of rain, there mas hot peeH
a corresponding lack OF sunshlne, ioi
the rain has come in the form OF Gaily
showers, interrupting the suhiish.
only for few minutes. In linliteu ahe
Isolated districts severe wind, nan anu
rain storms have damaged crops ~
some extent, but these accidents
count for little in the general summing
up and Colorado agriculturally VIII
have the greatest year in its history.
The Rock Island reports that from
the Greeley district there VIII pc
shipped not less than 10000 carloads
of potatoes. The crop is bigger ana
of a better quality. The abundance OF
water and sunshine have done won
ders. The wheat in this district Is
phenomenal crop. In fact, throughout
the northern Colorado wheat districts
the Weld is figured at about slxty
bushels to the acre. In the corn dls-
tricts the prospects for great crop
are encouraging. Never in the history
of the state has the corn looked SO
well at this time of year. Ihe santa
Fe reports that the melon crop oil
the Rocky Ford district will be SO
large that it cannot be harvested
Thousands OF melons will be LETT 10
rot on the vines and the quality IN
both the matter of taste and size VIII
be the best of years. In and around
Grand Junction the crops OF fruit VIII
harvest in the same unusual ratio lhe
Colorado Midland. the Denver & hlo
Grande and the Colorado Southern
railroads report that the shipments
from this point will be far greater
than during any past year.
There is another crop in this state
which will break all records this year
and that is that of the sugar beet. In
the vast beet-growing districts the
crop has been extraordinarily large
and Ia still yielding. The five or SIX
sugar factories have more than they
can reduce, so already the railroads
are announcing large shipments or
sugar beets out of the state and the
Weld has not been all harvested.
Prosperity" said railroad official.
"is spelled in these reports. Just wait
until all the camps settle down TO
steady and effective production, and
the state. instead of being depressed.
will be at the greatest height OF its
prosperity. The outside world doesn't
realize what figure Colorado is in the
agricultural field, but this years crops
will speak for themselves and they
will do good deal toward the solu-
tion of railroad business. The outlook
is most bright"
This is the general sentiment eN-
pressed by all local and general rail-
road officials in Denver.
