ing Against the Heights

. st. Petersburg, August AT last
the decisive battle of the campaign
seems to be in progress. Having
completed his enveloping movement
of the Russian position, General Ku-
roki has ordered simultaneously an
advance from all points against Hal
Cheng and Liao Yang. The fighting
is raging on both fronts and still
continues.
The latest reports contain nothing
yet confrmatory of the rumors that
General Kuropatkin has been de-
feated.
According to Kuropatkin's official
dispatches to the Emperor, the battle
began for the possession of the inn
portant position at Simoucheng,
which is located at the junction Of
the Feng Wang Cheng and Siucen
roads. Two separate armies were
launched from the east above the
two roads, while a third, under Gen
eral Oku, moved up east of the rail-
road from Tatchi and Kiao, to cut off
the Russian force there from Hal
Cheng.

One hundred and fifty japanese
cavalry who entered over night had
orders to return to Ia Tche Kiao,
but remained until morning at the
urgent request of the British and
American consuls.
The japanese have not pursued the
fleeing enemy as they desire to CO.
operate with the first army in a de-
cisive battle between Haicheng and
Liao Yany which, even in the opin-
ion of Russian officers, will result in
Russian defeat and will terminate
the campaign.

DISPUTE SUCCESSION
TO GERMAN THRONE.
RULE THAT DErNA1ES LIPPE'S Flu
TURE REGENT OF PLACE BARS
CROWN PRINCE.
This Is Version of Law as Expounded
by Kaiser William at Meeting OPP
posing His Ruling.

Berlin, Oct 1O.-The same rule that
would deprive Count Leopold of the re-
gency Of Lippe would prevent the Kai-
sers son, the crown prince, from ever
becoming Emperor Of Germany. Not
only that, but the same rule would bar
from the regency Of Bavaria Prince Lud-
Wig, son Of the present regent, Prince
Lultpold. The succession to the throne
OF SaXe-Melningen may also be involved.
The kaiser's opposition to Count Leo
pold Of Llppe is based on the fact that
MS great grandmother was not of royal
blood, belonging only to the petite no.
blesse.
The Vorwaerts today points out that
the crown prince Of Germany stands on
the same footing, for the grandfather Of
the present Empress of Germany, Duke
christian August, married Countess
Louise Daneskjold Samsoe, q member Of
petite noblessa.
The people of Lippe, almost 10 a man,
are ON the side Of Count Leopold. A
mass meeting at Lage, attended by more
IMAM thousand, adopted resolution
declaring the attempt to contest the de-
cree OF the regency by the Emperor as all
unWarranted and deplorable attack.
To prove that devotion and loyalty the
meeting closed with cheers for Emperor
William as we'll as Prince Leopold.
Prof. Huebler and Prof Bornhak in
the Berliner Lokal Anzeiger both declare
there is not the slightest doubt that Count
Leopold is the regent Of Lippe. The for
mer goes so far as to declare that the diet
OF Llppe can pass an act to proclaim
Count Leopold the heir to the throne on
the death Of Prince Alexander.

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON

4 Crop of 6O,OOO,OOO Bushels of Wheat

4 Crop of 6O,OOO,OOO Bushels of Wheat
Will Be the Record of 1904.
The results Of the threshing in West
ern Canada are not yet completed, but
from information at hand, it is safe to
say that the average per acre will be
reasonably high, and a fair estimate
will place the total yield Of wheat at
60,O00,0O0 bushels. At present prices
this will add to the wealth Of the farm
ers nearly S6O,OOO,OOO Then think Of
the immense yield Of oats and barley
and the large herds of cattle, for all OF
which good prices will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton,
Minister of the Interior, to Lord
Strathcona, High Commissioner for
Canada:
Am now able to state definitely that
under conditions of unusual difficulty
in Northwest a fair average crop Of
wheat of good quality has been reaped
and is now secure from substantial
damage The reports Of injury by frost
and rust were grossly exaggerated. The
wheat Of Manitoba and Northwest Ter
ritories will aggregate from ffty-fiye
to sixty million bushels. The quality is
good and the price is ranging around
one dollar per bushel."
Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says:
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north of where the line
was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 800 miles north Of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the
day is not definitely distant when the
United States will knock at the doors
of Canada for its bread. Railroad men
see such a. day; it may be hoped that
statesmen also will see it, and arrange
their reciprocities while they may do
so gracefully. Americans already have
sWarmed into that far country, and to
degree have taken the American
wheat field with them. Despite the
