MJW YORK, Aug. SO. Owing to the
Jeontlnued threatening weather It was an
nounced at the New Tork Yacht Club to
Oilght that no decision as to whether there
will be a race or not tomorrow will not be
reached until 1 o'clock tomorrow morning',
hvhen the regatta committee will meet,
and, having decided on racing or calling
on! the race of the day. will at onca
notify Eur Thomas Lipton aboard the
asrln.
. That Sir Thomas regards the prospects
ifor a race as very remote was shown by
ttho fact that this afternoon he Instructed
XL H. Davis, his personal representative
Ha New Tork, to notify all guests invited
ton board the Erin tomorrow that the sea
ttes so rough and the prospect .for decent
'weather so bad that he thought it not ad
rvlsable for any of them to come aboard
kind that In consequence the tender used
'to convey guests to the Erin would not
intake her usual trip.
Two xtys after the final race Sir Thom
las will be the guest of honor at a banquet
ito bo given at the Waldorf-Astoria by the
Order of Pilgrims.
At midnight the wind at Sandy Hook
was from east-northeast blowing 20 miles
an hour. There was a heavy 6urf running,
but it was not quite so bad as at the same
time Saturday. The mist had cleared and
It was possible to see for a distance of
It miles off shore. In theso conditions and
with a possible decrease of the wind's
velocity after sunrise, there is a fair pros
pect that the yachts may be able to race
today.
IiIPTOJ. PRAISES HEIUU2SHOFF.
Sara lie Is in a Class by Himself as
u Bontbuilder.
BANDY HOOK, N. J., Aug. 30. The
Weather conditions tonight render It high
ly improbable that the Relianco and
Shamrock will meet tomorrow. The
tnortheast wind which continued all day
tabated but slightly toward evening, and
at sunset was blowing 22 miles an hour,
the rain coming In blinding drifts and
(sea running high.
Captain Charles Barr, of the Reliance,
was ashore late in the afternoon and
seald that the probability was greatly
tagalnet a race, as even If the wind
(abated, the sea would be so high that the
boats would not dare attempt it.
The local weather bureau received the
following dispatch from Washington at
10 o'clock tonight: "Tho wind over the
international yacht race course Monday
i will be brisk to high and mostly north
east, with cloudy and possibly rainy
Sveather."
Sir The mas said tonight that he thought
fthere was a chance for a race in the
jinornlng, adding that the Shamrock had
('Weathered a stiff gale coming over and
'that he would like to see her In a good
!eea tomorrow.
Sir Thomas expressed himself forcibly
(today on the allegations that Designer
Fife and Captain Wringo -were in bitter
controversy over tho cause of the defeat
frof the Shamrock IIL
"I want to say," said Sir Thomas Lip
jton. "that I am absolutely disgusted with
jjtho continual repetition of the story that
g. have criticized Mr. Fife and that Mr.
rFlfe and Captain Wrlnge are at logger
fheads. I want the Associated Press to
feay distinctly and forcibly that I have
iiever criticized Mr. Fife. I had Mr. Fife
build mo a boat. He built me a boat. Ho
rbullt me a beautiful and I think a fast
boat He put in her his best endeavors
land I have never questioned his loyalty
land his ability.
"It Is not his fault that Mr. Herreshoff
fbullt a better one for these waters. It
is not his fault that the wizard of yacht
building is in this country, and wizard he
(Is. So, too, the stories of Mr. Fife's hav
llng any controversy with Captain Wrlnge
lore without foundation. Captain Wrlnge
i&aa sailed Shamrock HI In the same man
ner as Mr. Fife built it to the best of his
toblllty.
"I havo no fault to find with him and
ttho statement that I have found fault
with Captain Wrfnge or -that Mr. Fife or I
have interfered with him is ridiculous.
Mr. Fife .has done his full luty by me
and so has Captain Wrlnge. There is no
(controversy between me and either of
'them and none between them. I will
rVouch."
Colonel Neill and Jack Wilson, guests of
iBlr Thomas on tho Erin, were cruising In
one of the Erin's launches in the Shrews
bury River this afternoon, when the en
Xjino broke down and they drifted for an
Ihour and a half before being picked up
toy another launch and towed to the Erin.
Tho accident was caused by suddenly re

NAMES HIS SUCCESSOR.
Russian Finance Minister Becomes
President of Ministers.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 30. An impe
rial rescript, dated August 2S Is published,
feppolntlng Minister of Finance Witte.
president of the Ministers. The rescript
ixt the samo time intrusts him with the
Work of bringing to a speedy successful
conclusion tho negotiations for tho Russo
German commercial treaty and with the
Continued supreme direction of the Min
istry of Finance in order that his close
acquaintance with the requirements of
Russian commerce and industry may""be
fully utilised.
The Official Messenger announces the
appointment of M. Pleske, director of tho
Imperial Stato Bank, as Minister of Fi
nance. Although the resignation of M.
Wltte of the post of Minister of Finance
"was expected ever since his last budget
Btatemcnt. which had a valedictory tone,
the secret was well kept. M. W'ltte went
to Poterhof after midnight and presented"
to tho Czar his resignation and his rec
ommendation of M. Pleske as his succes
sor simultaneously In order to forestall
an Intrigue in tho interest of some fol
lower of M. Plehve, Minister of the Inte
rior. M. Pleske has made a good reputation
us director of the Imperial State Bank,
but he never has exhibited any initiative,
remaining a loyal subordinate of M. Wltte,
and doubtless he will try to carry on his
policy.
Tho position of president of the commit
tee of ministers Is one of great honor,
but M. Wltte's future influence is re
garded as problematical and his promo
tion is considered a triumph for the Plehve
interests.

REFORMER'S SWAN SONG
Shea Cbien Makes Farewell to the
"World in Verse.
PEKING, Aug. 2. Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) The Chinese re
former, Shen Chlen, like the Filipino
patriot Rlzal, sent his farewell message
to the world in the form of verses written
in prison on the evening of his execution.
Tho spirit of two valedictories is much the
pane. Chinese poetry Is difficult to
translate accurately, but the following
is a literal rendition Into English:
Loaded with clanklnr chains, I am taken from
prison.
By the Chen Chi sat I shall lay down ray life.
On the execution ground mere my old'triends
hav shed their blood;
Five Loyal and six Learned, all Uukwang
men of fame
Japan and Russia are rtrussltnE for possession
of Manchuria.
Henceforth the cral of the race la lost to
China.
Partition comes apace; I cannot bear to think
of 1L
You rulers of the country, have you never
seen the plans of division?
Let all the public papers over the wide world
because of nty hurled wrong publish the
story of my death.
For making public two harmless clauses of a
secret treaty
Chlar Kuan and Chung Lang has worked mo
this woe.
The thirty-one years -of my life now past.
though I hare conquered seme name, are
now all of no avail.
Henceforth come prosperity or disaster. I shall
need It net;
My lrit win find happiness chanting in
heaven.
Shen Chlen had been particularly bold
In denouncing the apathy of the govern
ment toward the Russian absorption of
Manchuria. A short time before his ar
rest he published two clauses of what
purported to be a secret treaty by which
China conceded Nlu Chwang to the con
trol of Russia. Being barred from com
munication with the outside world In
prison, he died with the belief, as the
verses show, that he had been betrayed
by two officials, Ching Kuan and Chung
Lang, the latter a friend with whom ho
had quarreled, because he had revealed
this treaty.
The Chen Chi gate Is the gate through
which criminals are lead from the board
of punishments to the execution ground.
"Five loyal and six learned, all Huk
wang men of fame." were tho reformers
from Kunan and Kwang-Tung who were
beheaded in 1SSS by order of the Dowager
after tho coup d'etat, depriving tho em
peror of power.

COAST LUMBER TRADE.
Industry Is Established in-a Strong
Position.
WASHINGTON, dT CI, Aug. 30l The
lumber markets of the Orient and the
share which the United States is likely to
havo In supplying them, is the subject Just
now of some attention by the Department
of Commerce and Labor through its Bu
reau of Statistics. The bureau recently
received and published reports of Ameri
can consuls In the Orient, which an
nounced the arrival of tho first cargo of
jfe .RCTBSSSSSBSflEsKBsSoSsHSisiSSSSSSSSSSslV
Ar .BHBfsSKIraBPissssm
issssssssBlHPIi'9ssSssslsHKRIsssssssssssssA
lumber in the Chlaeee market by a Rus
sian vessel from Yladivcstock. This fact
opens tho question of future competition
for the Oriental market between the
American lumber Interests on the Pacific
Coast, on the one hand, and that of the
Russians in Siberia end on the Talu
River, on the other. In both cases enor
mous resources are awaiting development.
The American Industry of the Pacific
Coast has the advantage of organization
on a Jarge scale and of mechanical equip
ment un equaled by that of any other field
In the world. This Is evidenced by the
rate of annual production. Unofficial es
timates put the annual cut of lumber and
shingles of the three Pacific States at
4,600.000.000 feet, of which California sup
piles SC0.CO0.000 feet, Oregon 740.000,000 feet
and Washington 2,300.000.000 feet. At this
rate It is calculated that the forests of
the Pacific Coast will be exhausted In
40 years.
As it would naturally be expected, the
Pacific lumbermen have been rapidly en
larging their area and volume of com
mercial distribution, both. In the foreign
and the domestic markets. According to
figures gathered by the Bureau of Statis
tics, the redwood shipments from upper
California, mostly to San Francisco and
the Southern Coast, in 1902. amounted to
260,597,605 feet. In addition to this, the
California Coast alone In 1502 received
606,102,932 feet of pine and fir. in 1201. 403.-

THE -CUP RACES.
J 215,540 feet and in 190O, 370.2SS.913 feet. The
raio ot increase, as will bo seen by com
parison of thesa figures, is enormouo.-
Further north on the Coast the trade
In lumber has been expanding with cor
responding strides. Shipments by water
alone at Seattle were 564.472. S01 feet of
lumber In 1502 and o03.964.749 feet In 1901.
A movement of almost equal proportions
is taking, place to points In the interior
by raiL In 1902 rail shipments to the In
terior amounted to 562,175.000 feet and in
1901 to 264.530.000 feet. The number of
shingles sent east of the Cascade Moun
tains extending Into the territory east
of tho Missouri River and, in many cases,
as far as the lakes, amounted to 5.OS0.640,
000 in 1902 and to 4.4S5.600.000 In 1501. The
traffic furnished to railroads In 1501 aggre
gated 62,337 cars of lumber and shingles
from Seattle alone, and 69,231 cars in 1902.
Rail shipments from Tacoma, Including
both lumber and shingles, were 3,141 cars
In 1900. 4,520 cars in 1901 and 6,026 cars In
1902.
Portland, Or., shows a traffic toward the
Interior by rail ranking next to Seattle
in importance. In the calendar year 1500,
11,935 cans of lumber were shipped from
thl3 port, 13,517 in 1901 and 15,876 cars in
1902.
As tho above figures indicate, one of
tho most noteworthy facts in connection
with the development of the Pacific Coast
lumber trade Is its Increasing contribu
tion to the transcontinental tonnage for
railroad on the way back from the Pa
cific Coast eastward. The opening of the
Mississippi Valley to tho Pacific Coast
lumbermen likewise -brings the export
trade from the coast into closer relations
with tho demands of the domestic con
sumer. The consumer in the Mississippi
Valley Is directly interested in the prog
ress of lumbering, both in the Northwest
ern states and In the Southern states as
main sources of supply. Tho entire East
Is chiefly dependent on both of these
sources. Consequently all domestic Indus
tries and Interests, relying on the lumber
supply of the future, are concerned with
the prospective ability of any foreign
competitor to share the foreign market,
and thus to affect the rate of domestic
output and Its ratio to domestic demand.
The relative importance of foreign to
domestic demands, so far as the Pacific
Coast is concerned. Is not easily ascer
tained. There are, however, a few figures
bearing on tho subject. The principal
mills of the state of Washington for 1S32
reported that 3S6.172.3SS feet were sent to
coastwise destinations, and 153,115,654 feet
to foreign destinations. If this ratio holds
good for the Coast as a whole, it would
appear that nearly 30 per cent of the out
put goes to foreign and 70 per cent to
domestic uses.
From present indications the United
States has nothing to fear from her rivals
in the lumber trade of the Pacific. Ulti
mately, tho Philippine Islands will no
doubt contribute materially to the supply.
Tho trade from the Pacific Coast of the
United States is now in a strong position.
During the fiscal year 1902 the United
States exported 1,402.499,000 feet of lumber
and sawn timber, of which 229,547,000 feet
were sent from the Pacific Coast. The
exports of wool and manufactures there
of advanced from $26,000,000 In 1S93 to 557.
000.000 In 1903; lumber, the largest item. In
creased In value from $9,000,000 In 1S33 to
J21.O00.CO0 in 1503.
Since 1SS3 the Chinese empire. Hong
Kong. British Australasia, Peru and

DETROIT, Aug. SO. Tho conference of
the wage committee of the Window Glass
Workers of America and tho Independent
Window Glass Company and the Federa
tion Window Glass Company ended this
afternoon. It was' agreed to withhold all
wage scales until the present stock of
glass In the country is exhausted, and
further, that there will bo no resumption
of work in the factories until a general
resumption Is ordered.
It was also agreed that during the next
year stoppage of work, as well as resump
tion, shall be general in all factories. It
is stated that the co-operative companies
of the country will also adhere to this
general stoppage and resumption plan. A
uniform scale of wages, which will be an
advanco of 10 per cent over last year's
'bo -called Burns scale, was decided upon.
As a result of the increase of wages
there will bo an immediate withdrawal of
all current price lists on glass and an ad

Workmen Help IteorgaaUe Trade.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 30. As viewed' In
glass circlets In Pittsburg, the agreement
effected at Detroit is the most Important
that has been reached among the win
dow glass men in years. For the first time
In four years tho -warring factions have
been brought to a peaceful state.
The waiting by all factories until the
surplus stock of glass is sold means that
at least 1,000,000 boxes will havo to be
disposed of before any fires are lighted
and under present conditions of the trade
It is likely that little will bo done toward
new stocks until November.
In the meantime thousands of skilled
workmen will remain in Idleness, but are
willing to do so to help demoralized trade
to get on its feet again.

Oath of Typographical Union in Part
Objectionable.
MARSHALL, Mich., Aug. SO. Rev. B.
A. Baart, rector of St. Mary'3 Church,
today said no Catholic could consistently
take or keep the oath of some labor
unions. He mentioned particularly the
Typographical Union, part of whoso oath
bo quoted as follows:
"I hereby solemnly and sincerely swear
that my fidelity to the Typographical
Union and my duty to the members there
of shall in no sense be Interfered with
by any allegiance that I may now or
hereafter owe to any other organization.
social, political or religious."
Father Baart said this oath placed tho
union before the church and before the
stato and distinctly Impeached the loyalty
and Catholicity of thoso who take such
an oath. Possibly the leaders may not
have realized the full force of Jtfie words
they used In their oath, he said,, but
whether they did or not every patriotic
citizen and every sincere, consistent Cath
olic should demand that such an oath be
modified and that tho objectionable clause
bo cut out. - . . .

Words on the Weather.
Creston Gazette.
A few words respecting the weather.
Generally speaking, with the thermom
eter hovering around 95, tho fewer tho
words the better.
It Is mighty easy for words to lead to
blows with tho thermometer hovering
around 95.
However,
The supreme duty during tho heated
term is to keep cooL
If you can't keep cool, keep as cool as
you can.
Eat little.
If there is no breakfast food on band
open a bale of hay.
Drink little.
And drink nothing that Is hot and re
bellious. Dress as lightly as possible.
For a man this suggestion is easily fol
lowed, unless the man be one of dignity,
with proclivities for thetalled coat.
The Summer man In the tailed coat Is
a mate for the Summer woman who can
not lay aside her cuirass of steel and
whalebono for a mother hubbard.
My, how they both must suffer.
But, speaking of dress, at tho Eastern
resorts and at Sioux City tho half-hose
is au fait and en regie.
Sox.
The Sioux City Summer girls in sox!
Thl3 upon the authority of Hon. George
D. Perkins, temporary chairman.
Well, why not?
The open-work stocking was only a
partial emancipation.
What better than sox for the stand
patter, man or woman? Nothing but
praise will come from Cedar Rapids.
Tyrant man has no monopoly on half
hose. The subjugated sex has"Warrant to
share In every blessing.
But a word ot caution.
Beware of suspenders.
Suspenders are not for comfort when
the thermometer is 95.
Hah Vigor
Hair falling? Then you are
starving it. You can stop
f hair-starvation with a hair-
food. Ayer's Hair Vigor
nourishes, feeds the hair.

TO FIX THE BORDER
Alaskan Commission Arrives
in London.
CANADIANS AflE THERE ALSO
Ambassador Choate Will Givo
Baaqaet to Iaclade All the
British, and American
Representatives.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-Secretary of War
Elihu Root, ex-Secretary of Stato John
W. Foster. Hannis Taylor and Judgo
John.M. Dickinson arrived at Liverpool
on. tho Celtic today for tho meetings of
tha Alaskan Boundary Commission, which
will open In London September 3. They
wero received at Liverpool by Mr. Pethe
rtck, assistant United States dispatch
agent, on behalf of the American .Em
bassy. The party came directly to London and
on their arrival here were met by Sec
retary Carter, of tho United States Em
bassy. Mr. Root registered at tho Hyde
Park Hotel, while tho other members of
tho party established themselves at tho
Carlton Hotel. The Canadian Commis
sioners also are here.
United States Ambassador Choate has
arranged to give a dinner In honor of
Secretary Root, at which all the Ameri
can and British representatives will bo
present.
The commissioners are already familiar
with the facts of the case, which were
filed several months ago. At tho first
meeting of the commissioners next Thurs
day, the Americans and Canadians will
submit their briefs, which will be a con
densation of tho facts and arguments re
garding the Interpretation of the treaty.
The Commission will then announce tho
day on which the oral arguments will bo
heard.
The documents have not-yet been made
public, but the Associated Press cor
respondent learns that the, wholo con
troversy centers upon Canada's efTorts to
acquire an outlet to the sea. It Is known
authoritatively that tho Canadian agent
asserts that under the Russo-BritlBh
treaty of 1S25 tho line properly crosses
numerous inlets, Including the head
waters of the Lynn Canal. The conten
tion seems to be that the Inlets less than
six miles wide situated in the disputed
region belong to Canada.
United States Counsel Foster vigorously
opposes this view, holding that tho treaty
clearly places the line 30 miles inland,
following the sinuosities of the coast,
thus separating Canada from all the arms
of the ocean and putting Porcupine Creek
and the gold district under American "Jur
isdiction. The American representatives
are confident that their position is un
assailable. The Commissioners expect that the
complete consideration of the entire case
will tako less than two months and that
even should the Commission fall to render
a majority award the facts will be clearly
established. This will lead to an easier
settlement in the future.
Secretary Root intends to tako ad
vantage of the recess between the filings
of the briefs and the oral arguments to
witness the British Army maneuvers.
