 BUFFALO. N. r., May 13.-Dispatches from all over western New York prove this section of the state has suffered from frost. Along the grape belt in Chautaqua county grape growers look melancholy over the outlook and some of the messages state that the crop is entirely destroyed. In Niagara county, where small fruits are frequently raised, there is disposition to take a gloomy view of the ravages of frost, but conser- vative judges think the damage IS not general or severe. Next to grapes straw berries perhaps have been more serious ly hurt.
 Despstohes from eastern Ontario indi- cate that the temperature is very low there and the damage, perhaps, very much heavier than on this slde of the border.

 The last battle of the war between Ja- pan and China at Tien Chwsng Tai, March 10th resulted in butchery equal ing the atrocities at Port Arthur. It demonstrated that the common soldiers of both oriental races are as blood thirs- ty and as brutal as the American h. dians. The Custer massacre was not more horrible than the slaughter of Chinese by the Japanese at Tien Cbwang Tai. Tien Ohwsng Tai is in Menchuria only few miles from New Chwang. The Chinese under General Sut g had fortl- fled the place. The Jepanese infantry and 5000 cavalry and artillery attacked General Sung's position March 9th from three sides. The Chinese were quickly routed and the Japanese army entered the town and began the slaughter. Though 1400 Chinese were killed, only one wounded Chinaman was taken pri- soner.
 The wounded were dispatched on the field in the American Indian style. Then the town was sacked and burned. Let ters from eye-witnesses describe the butchery as horrible.
