FOR THE ROOSEVELT CUP.
Trial Races to Determine the Ameri-
can Defenders.

MARBLEHEAD. Mass. August 1.-THE
Roosevelt cup trial races. which are being
conducted this week by the Eastern Yacht
Club for the purpose OF selecting three
American defenders against the German
challengers. are rapidly becoming question
OF endurance. Six races in four days have
turned the sport into something akin to
hard work. while not few OF the shippers
are nearing the belief that the chances OF
their boats being chosen are fading with
each race.
Realizing that the strain OF hard racing
Is becoming greater each day, and also that
tho crowding at the line. especially on starts
to the windward. places some of the faster
yachts In unfortunate positions. the regatta
committee intends to begin the elimination
process after the two races today.

WARSHIPS ARE IN THE HARBOL

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CHEFOO, August 1.-THE political situa-
tion here has taken serious turn. There
has been an uprising of the native popula-
ton, which at present is swelled by $4,000
coolies from Canton on their way to the
Manchurian wheat fields. The Chinese con-
stabulary sides with the mobs, and the
settlement police, which is an organization
maintained by the foreign embassies, Is
members will be elected from the city If
they are not withdrawn. The presence Of
hordes Of coolies from Canton provoked
the trouble and riots are expected.
News of the uprising in China comes as
surprise. Recently there have not been
any marked anti-foreign demonstrations
1t appears that this uprising was due large
ly to the annual influx to Chefoo of the
harvesters of Canton and other towns.
Each year they pass through Chefoo on
their way to Manchuria, where they 20
to gather wheat, millet and beans. Their
practice has long been to break the trip
at Chefoo, and for years the foreign colony
mas reared trouble when the native popula-
ton has been SO greatly increased
AT all times, however, the foreigners have
llVed In dread OF attack from Chinese mobs
This fear led them to establish a police
force of their own, upon which thew could
rely. 1t has been known as the Settlement
police, and patrols the hill at the edge of
the harbor upon which the embassies are
and where the foreigners live.
Resented by Native Police.
The Taotais, or native police, have re-
sented the presence of this force, and 1t
has been source of constant friction. The
Ill will which resulted has not been less
ened by the attitute of Yuan Shi Kai, one
of the powerful mandarins of China, and
governor of the province Of Chill, in which
the town of Chefoo Is situated. He has
not been popular with the foreigners.
The present disturbances, it is presumed
presence of many strangers. The dormant
feeling against foreigners hared up. The
Taotai police did not check It, and 1t is
thought that perhaps they even stirred up
the natives still more.
Demands apparently were made for the
withdrawal OF the settlement police and
refused.
Across the hill, back Of Chefoo extends
high wall. protected by mud forts. This
was constructed during the Boxer troubles,
and 1t Is the place of refuge which the for
eigners have always had in mind in case
there should be an uprising which would
make flight necessary.
