The Boston Yacht Independence Tikes An other TrUl Spin. Boston, June 11. The Indepen dence had another short sail in the bay this afternoon, and the breeze being on'y moderate the yacht spread more canvas than has yet been hoist ed. The sea was smooth, and again she proved her wonderful reaching qualities, besides showing considerable ability in windward work. Not only did she hold very well up to the breeze, keeping within an average of three points, but she footed quite fast and tacked in the neighorhood of 20 seconds. The trial was confined to less than two hours of actual sailing, most of the time being spent on the wind or reaching, and as yet the yacht has not been sent dead to leeward, it being thought well to wait for the spinnaker and club topsail. There was no accident today, barring a slight rent the mainsail, which rather hindered the setting of that great piece of canvas. The yacht may go out again tomorrow after noon, although there is considerable work to be done upon her. DYNAMITE IN A CAR.

The exten sive) report of United States Consul Covert, at Lyons, France, relatlvo to the success ot cannon firing in Franco ts a means of protecting orchards and vineyards from hall storms, and also for the purpose of mitigating or nul lifying the effects of frost ujion vege tation, have prompted numerous in quiries by horticulturists in this country as to when, it at all, our gov ernment would adopt similar methods of protection. Professor Willis L. Moore, the chief of the weather bureau, acting under the direction of Secretary Wilson, therefore, haa issued to the press the following statement: "After an examination of all that has been published during the past two years, my conviction Is that we have here to do with a popular delu sion as remarkable as is the belief in the effect of the moon on the weather. The uneducated eiiuntry of Europe seem to lie looking for something miraculous. They would rather Im lieve in cannonading its a means of protection and aiH'nd on it abundance of money, time and labor than, adopt tho very simple ex dicnt of mutual insurance against Iohm'S that must in evitably occur. "The great processes going on in the atmosphere are conducted on too large a scale to warrant any man or nation in attempting to control them. The energy expended by nature in the production of a hail storm, a tornado or a rain storm exceed the combined energy of all the steam engines and explosive in the world. It i useless for mankind to combat nature on this . scale. "After the experience that this country has had (luring the past 10 I . .L . .! f !.... 4 yrn wim raminaarrn, I am ioiii m believe that the bombardment of hail storms will ever be practiced or at tempted in the United States, much less encouraged by the intelligent portion of the community. Every effort should le made to counteract the spread of the French delusion ! which has been Imported into thin country by Consul Covert. UNCLE SAM REFUSE8. Disapproves Joint Gaurantte of Chinese In demnityForeign Powers Notified. Washington, June 12. The govern ment has formally communicated to the foreign powers the impossibility of joining in a joint guarantee for the payment of the Chinese indemnity. The difficulties in the way of such an arrangement are set forth in the coin muiticatiou, particularly those relat ing to the count itutiomtl restrictions on the president in making a joint of this character. In view of the determination ol the United States not to )e a party to the joint guaranty there is anxiety shown in diplomatic circles as the outcome on the question of in demnities. One view is that the ma jority of the )wcrs lieing favorable to a joint guaranty w ill execute this joint instrument and thereafter carry on a concert of their own. In that event, it is said, the United States would arrange directly with China as to the major portion of the indem nity. The representatives of most of the Eurojican fwwers do not lelievo that a resort to The Haguo tribunal proposed by the United States will be acceptable to their governments. JAPANESE 8TILL THERE.

At 11 o'clock Inst night four men volunteered to go down shaft No. 1 and No.2 and one down shaft No. 3, but to the present time nothing baa U'cn heard of them. At 3 o'clock this morning heavy volume of smoke are still issuing from the mine, and hope of saving any of the entomled men, miners or rescuer,! fast diwrpi,iiie. -- The Port Koyal mine are "situated on the Youghiogheny river, 37 miles from Pittsburg.
