HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
CRUISERS RossIA AND GRoMoBoI
REACH VLADIvOSTOk LIT.
ERALLY RIDDLED.
SHELLS CAUSE HAVOC ON BOARD
EVERY OFFICER ON THE TWO
VESSELS EITHER KILLED
> OR WOUNDED.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 19.-The cruis'
'ers Rossia and Gromoboi, which have
just reached Vladivostok after the
battle with the Japanese squadron off
'Tsu islands Sunday last, narrowly es-
capped the fate of their sister ship, the
Rurik. A dispatch from Vladivostok
shows that every officer on the two
vessels was either killed or wounded.
Rear Admiral lessen narrowly es.
capped the fate Of Admiral Without.
He was standing on the bridge of the
Rossia when it was wrecked by a
shell.
The two Russian cruisers were lit
orally riddled, their guns and engines
being partially dismounted.
The escape of the Russian vessels
from Admiral Kamimura's four ar
mored cruisers is regarded as a won
derful piece of luck. 1t is presumed
that the pursuers of the Russian ships
did not dare go far north, fearing that
some of the vessels of the Port Arthur
squadron would break through the
straits of Korea.
There is no confirmation of the re-
port hal the cruisers Pallada and
Diana have reached V~ladivOstok and
the admiralty has no news bearing on
the whereabouts of the other vessels
of the late Rear Admiral Withoft's
squadron.

SEEKS HAYS COUNSEL.
Chinese. Minister Confers With Seese-
tary Of State.

Chinese. Minister confers With seese-
tary Of State.
Washington, Aug. 19.-Sir Chentung
LANG Cheng. the Chinese minister,
called at the state department during.
the day for a conference with Mr.
Hay, which lasted some time. Al
though the minister said he called pri-
marily on another matter he admitted
that the question of China's neutrality
was under discussion and there is rea-
son for believing this subject occu-
pied the major portion of the confer
ence. The minister did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the problems
presented to China in the last few
days by the presence of Russian rep
resentatives in Chinese waters we're
exceedingly serious, nor did he at
tempt to deny that the situation might
lead to serious consequences. He de-
MED, however, that he brought any
specific instructions from his wi gov
eminent, but he is naturally DESTROYS
of keeping his government posted on
the attitude of the United States in
this matter and it can be stated that
the real object of the minister's
presentation of this subject to Secre-
tary Hay was to secure the latter's
counsel for transmission to Picking.
The Chinese authorities have the
greatest confidence in the di~sinterested
advice of the secretary and have ap-
pealed to him repeatedly when the
Picking government was in trouble.

BUY TWENTY THOUSAND ACRES.
Bio Timber Tract Is Purchased by
Michigan Men.

Calumet, Mich, Aug. ia tract of
10000 acres of land, containing 200,-
100000 feet Of pine. hemlock, birch.
Eastwood and cedar, has been pur-
chased by prominent Michigan lum-
bermen. The timber is near the hold
ings of the Turtle Lake Lumber com
pany and the Hackley-Phelps-B Bonnet
company, in Northern Wisconsin, and
it will take about fifteen years to
cut it.
A company will be organized this
week with a capital of 100000, prac-
tically all of which has been sub
scribed by capitalists and lumbermen
Of Grand Rapids, Greenville and Mus
kegon. The railroad company has
agreed to extend the lines through the
timber lands and it is believed that
active operations may be begun in the
winter.
Shipments of lumber from upper
peninsula ports continue heavy. Many
ships are leaving with cargoes for
lower lake ports.

WHEAT MARKET NERVOUS
PRICES DROP FROM ONE TO
THREE CENTS BUT RAPIDLY
RECOVER THE LOSS.

Chicago, Aug. ia nervous crowd
of interested spectators waited the
tap Of the opening bell on the board
of trade as eager to sell wheat as on
the previous day they had been to buy.
The price suffered a decline at the mo-
ment of opening, ranging from 1 cent
to about 3 cents a bushel. Later prices
had a sudden rebound and May wheat,
which vas sold down to $1.08A at the
start, jumped up again to SLIP The
reason for the change of sentiment
among the traders over night, as shown
in the early trading, was the failure of
the weather bureaus forecast Of possi-
Bile frost in the spring wheat country
to come. There was nothing within
fifteen degrees of frost temperatures.
AS the price Of wheat since the mid
die of June last has advanced 30 cents
a bushel there were naturally numbers
OF traders who had made handsome
profits and what they had been buy
ing constantly since then was the
wheat that was for sale as soon as the
market opened. Hundreds of v
wheat owners had hardly got rid OF
their grain when it vas reported in a
telegram from Winnipeg, sent by
well known crop examiner who had
gone up to Manitoba, that the rust
that had ruined the crops of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas was at work in
the British Northwest and threatened
that part of the country with a sim
liar calamity.
The last hour of trading showed the
sentiment Of traders again divided,
with a strong leaning toward the bear
side. Conflicting reports from North
Dakota caused doubt as to the real
seriousness of the situation and the
timid among the holders of long lines
preferred to be on the safe side
How immense is the interest taken
in the grain market by people Of all
sections may be judged from the fact
that one Chicago commission house
bought and sold for customers 18,000,-
900 bushels of the various kinds of
grain Wednesday and other large
houses sold from 100000 10 to 10000
900 bushels each.

FORMAL DECREE FILED.
Preliminary Injunction In Northern
Securities Case.

Securities Case.
Trenton, N. j., Aug. 19.-Judge Brad
ford, in the United States circuit
court, has filed the formal decree of
injunction in the suit recently decid-
ed by him, in which Edward H. Harri-
man and Winslow S. Pierce were com
plainants and the Northern Securities
company and the Northern Pacific
Railway company were defendants. In
the decision Judge Bradford decided
that he would grant a preliminary in
junction and this formal decree is in
consequence thereof.
The decree restraints the Northern
Securities company from disposing of
370,230 shares Of the common stock
of the Northern Pacific company,
which, it is alleged, was transferred to
that company by Hartman and Pierce.
1t further restraints the Northern Sc
curities company from disposing Of
347,090 shares Of the Northern Pacific
company received from the said North.
ern Pacific company.
The Oregon Short Line company is
required to give a bond of S $4,000, 900
for the purpose of indemnifying any
losses that may be sustained by the
granting of the preliminary injunction.
The Oregon Short Line company filed
it's bond as required with the United
States Fidelity and Guarantee COM
pany Saturday. The bond has the ap-
proval of John w. Griggs, as counsel
for the Northern Securities company.

RECOGNIZED BY RUSSIA.
Validity Of American and British Def
milton of contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-It is I'M
derstood that Russia will recognize the
validity of the American and British
view differentiating between condi-
tional and absolute c%ontraband of war
and that the Russian reply will be
couched in this sense. Specific claims
on the part of Great Britain for seiz-
ures of vessels and cargoes will prob
ably be reserved for later %considera-
ton.
The Russian government appears to
be DESTROYS of adjusting the question
of the flour on board the Arabia, con-
fiscated by the V%ladivostok prize court,
but it is pointed out that the decision
of the court makes it difficult to adjust
1t automatically and it is suggested
that the case should be appealed to the
admiralty court here.

MAY SPEAK IN THE WEST.
Judge Parker's Presence Desired in
Several States.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 19.-No definite
plans have been made for Judge Par
ker to visit the West during the cam
paign, but it is almost certain that a
speaking tour of some kind will be ar
ranged. 1t may be that Indiana will
be the only state in the West where
the candidate will speak, though his
presence is desired in Nebraska, Wis
consin, Colorado and Illinois as we'll.
This is a question that will be taken
up at once by the national executive
committee and an early answer given.
The general impression here is that
Judge Parker will make several
speeches in the West when he goes to
the st. Louis exposition. The date Of
that trip has not been settled, but the
Judge and Mrs. Parker will probably
leave here late in September and re-
main away over the first week in DC.

CHINA EXPECTED TO YIELD.
Will Grant Japanese Demands Regard
ing Russian Warships.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE news that
Japan has practically sent an ultima
tum to China concerning the enforce
ment of her neutrality in the case of
the protected cruiser Askold and the
torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi causes
surprise but no alarm here, the i'm
preston prevailing that China will be
only too willing to carry out her neu-
trality obligations, especially when
such a course favors Japan. Well in
formed circles consider that China's
refusal to comply with the Japanese
demand is most improbable, unless
under strong pressure by foreign con-
suls, but it is not denied here that
China's refusal, followed by violent ac-
ton on Japan's part, would entail seri-
Gus complications.
Berlin, Aug. 19.-The foreign office.
taking note of the possible rupture
between China and Japan in onnec
ton with the repairs to Russian war
vessels at Shanghai, expresses the
view that Japan may send a small war
ship into the harbor to ascertain
whether the disarmament of the Rus
sian ships has occurred. But the Off
Gals here do not believe that the mat
ter has reached a critical stage or that
a serious situation will result. The
German view, naturally, is that China
should take the same course toward
the Russian vessels at Shanghai as
Germany did towards those which
sought refuge at Tsingtau.

Toxic, Aug. 19.-Lieutenant General
Stoessel, in command at Port Arthur,
has refused to surrender and has de-
clined the offer made by the Japanese
for the removal of non-combatants
there. Reasons for this latter action
are not given, but it is probable that

Japanese. They confess, however,
that necessity for their removal exists.
1t is expected that the Japanese attack
will be resumed Immediately. 1t now
enters upon its final stage.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-The report
that General S%toessel, the Russian
commander at Port Arthur, declined to
capitulate in response to the Japanese
summons creates no surprise. The
