FOR FARMERS USE
This COuntry's Exports of
 Agricultural Implements
They Will Amount This Year to S25,. 100000, Exceeding Those of. Any Earlier Year by $4, 4,OOO,OOO.

Washington, .June 26.-Exports of agricultural implements from the Uni- ted States in the fiscal year about to end will amount to about $25, ,0OO, 900 in value. This is an increase of about A. CO0,0OO over last year and about 9,OOO,- eco over the preceding year. In no class of manufactures exported has the growth been more steady and per sistent than in that of agricultural inn plements.
 The earliest year in which the value of agricultural implements exported was of sufficient importance to justify a separate statement was 1864. In that year the total value of agricultural inn plements exported was $61i, ,152. In 1870 the total was $1,00O, 000 speaking in round numbers; in 1880, $2, 250, GOO; in 1890, $S,750,0 GOO; in 1895, 5.50O,OOO; in 1900, $16,000O0G; in 1902, SIG, ,25O, GOO: in 1903, S21,0O0.O0O, and in 1904, as above indicated, is likely to reach about $25,- 000,0C0. Comparing this years exports with those of a decade earlier, the fig ures in 1904 are practically five times as great as in 1894, the total for 1894 be- ing S5,027,915.
 Comparing the growth in exports of agricultural implements with that in other articles during the same period, it may be said that cars and carriages have increased from s, ,330, coo in 1894 to a probable S12,00O, 900 in 1904; chemical. from nearly $7,500, 900 in 1894 to a prob able s14,5OO,OO0 in 1904; scientific instru- ments, from $1,5OO,OOO in 1894 to $S,OO0,- 900 in 1904, and manufacturers of leath- CT. from $14,O0o,0OO in 1894 to approxi- mately s33,OOO, GOO in 1904, while agricul- tural implements have increased from s5, 5,OOO,COO in 1894 to a probable $25,OOO,- OO0 in 1904.
 The principal foreign markets for American agricultural implements are shown in table just prepared by the department of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics. II shows that of the $19,OOOOOO worth ol agricultural implements exported from the United States during the ten months for which detailed figures are available, nearly 100000 went to $3, ,0OO, eco to North America, 1,5OO, 900 to Asia and Oceania, and little over 9 half million dollars worth to Africa.
 Considering the exports by specific countries, Argentina is, in 1904, the largest customer, the exports thereto in the ten months of 1904 being $3,592,- O1O, against S2,5OO,CO0 in the same months of the preceding year and $1.- ,OOO in the corresponding months of 1902. Next in magnitude is Russia, oul exports to that country In the ten months ending with April, 1904, being valued at $3, 133, ,442, a decrease of about $500, GOO as compared with the core spending period of last year. France stands third, the exports of agricultur. al implements to that country in the

HEARD THE BATTLE.
The Big Guns Were Fired at Sea and
 Nor at Port Arthur.

Che Foo, June 26.-Steamers passing thirty miles to the westward of Liao Tie Shan last night did not hear any firing. This leads to the supposition that reports of the guns heard here were in a naval battle southeast or Port Arthur.
 Chinese arriving here report that the Japanese army is within sever. miles of Kaiping and that the Russians have fallen back to Yamchiatien just north of Kaiping, where the gunboats win not be so effective. They also de- port that the Russians are entering the gates of the ancient city of New Chwang in the north part of New Chwang.
 A Chinese wlro arrived from the vl- cinity of Port Arthur in Junk reports that at daylight last Friday morning he saw two large Japanese ships and three torpedo boats withdrawn fiopl the fleet off Port Arthur. The vessels were all damaged.

MILLIONS WANTED
Suits Are To Be Brought Against SIOCum'S s Owners
The Demands Will Aggregate Six nil- lions and the Knickerbocker Conn pany Will be Bankrupt.

New York, June 26.-The Knicker becker Steamboat company, according to Attorney Alpheus S. Frank, has been guilty of such negligence in the pro- lection of the General Slocum that it has made itself amenable to suits that must inevitably drive it into bank rnptcy.
 Not the mere value of the Slocum's hull but the extent of the owners as- sets says MT. Frank. constitutes the limit of the companys liability.
 On behalf of injured persons and re- latives of victims of the disaster" he said. we shall bring immediately ill the state courts suits for damages. The suits that will be brought by those concerned will aggregate more than ..0O0. 900. The company will doubt Jess file petition in the United States court asking that it's liabilities be ii . mited to the value of the hull of the vessel. A copy of this petition will have to be served on all claimants. From the fact that the company has. | beyond question failed to comply with the statutes relating to life preserving apparatus and other passenger pro tection and from the fact that an7' claimapt has the right to oppose the granting of such petition. there is 10 doubt that the petition will be denied. i "In a case of negligence such as this. not the bare. value of the hull but the extent of the owning company's entlra assets is the only limit to it's liability. The limitation to the value of the hull was designed largely to encourage the mercantile marine. and does not apply {" the case in question. I have con suited the law very carefully on this 0oint and am convinced that the en- tire assets constitute the o~ly limita- tor"
 MT Frank added that the company having total assets. amounting to son!e S700.0O0. it would be unable to meet the judgments to be found against it and with the denial of the petitiur would have no alternative but to fiit a petition in bankruptcy.
 MT. Frank said he had already beer entrusted with the cases of some thir- ty representatives of victims, and that with Frank M. Hardenbrook, his as socia-e. he expected to begin the firsf batch of suits Monday --F

 Up to tonight the Japanese report Of the late loss Of three Russian ships at Port Arthur has not been published al- though the authorities allowed the pub .ished statement that the squadron had made sortie and also news of the foSs of a Japanese torbedo boat destroyer.

 On the other hand according to 2 foreign naval attache the admiralty today admitted that Rear Admiral Wiesthceft, the naval commander of Port Arthur had lost one battleshi' and two cruisers but in the absence ot details there was an inclination to be- lieve that the ship struck mines.
