COLD WEATHER HURTS CROPS.
Planting in Northwestern States Has
Been Retarded Greatly.

The weekly crop report, issued by the
weather bureau, says: From the west
gulf coast northwest to the middle
Rocky Mountain slope the temperature
conditions were generally favorable, but
elsewhere the week was much too cold
for termination and growth, although the
latter part was warmer and more favor
able. Heavy rains in the lower Missouri
and portions of the spring wheat region
interrupted work, while the drought con-
ditions III the middle and south Atlantic
and gulf States generally have increased.
Freezing temperatures and frosts gener-
ally throughout the central valleys, lake
region, New England and the middle At
lantic States were injurious to a greater
or less extent. On the Pacific coast it
was cooler than in the previous week, but
farm work made satisfactory progress.
While preparati tons for corn planting
have been active in the principal corn
States, as whole but little planting was
done during the week, owing to low tenn
perature East of the Mississippi river
no corn has been planted north Of the
Ohio river, nor has planting begun in
Iowa and Nebraska, except in the south
west part of the last named State. In
the Southern States corn has suffered
from cold weather, and is small, with If
regular stands.
Illinois-Temperature abnormally low
until Odd when decided rise occurred;
general snowstorm over southern sections
on the Goth: showery latter part of week;
season decidedly backward; termination
and plant growth made little progress;
wheat improved and condition not favor
able; oats mostly sown; much replanting
necessary; breaking ground for corn;
grasses made little growth.
acknowledgements for wheat very
poor, large acreage being plowed up and
the portion left standing promises less
than half crop; rye in fair condition; old
clover badly winter killed. sowing oats,

In the most categorical terms Russia
has officially notified the world that she
will not accept mediation to terminate
the war with Japan. The official notiti-
cation declares: Everything within the
limits of possibility was done by Russia
to solve the complications which had
arisen in the far East in a peaceful man

on the part of the japanese which forced
Russia to take up arms obviously no
friendly mediation can have any sue

gagements have taken place and that the
fighting has been limited to affairs of
outposts, the Russians contesting and
harassing the japanese advance.
The japanese legation in Washington
has published the correspondence that
took place preceding the beginning of
the war. The purpose is to disclose off,

made an attack on Gensan, a Korean
port $50 miles south of Vladivostok, and
sunk a Japanese merchant vessel that
was lying at anchor in the harbor. The
cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi partlclpat-
ed in the attack. They were accompanied
by a third cruiser, not yet identified, and
by two torpedo boats.
After firing several shots they entered
the harbor, ordered the crew Of the Goyo
Maru ashore and then sunk her. A de-
tachment of marines was landed, but
was recalled and the warships steamed
outside of the harbor.
The arrival of the Russian cruisers OH
the unprotected town created great con-
sternation, as no preparations had been
made for defense. The Vladivostok
squadron had not been heard from for
several weeks and was supposed still to

thought the Russians were on the search

The sudden activity Of the Russian
fleet that has been so long inactive gives
a new phase to the situation. The ques-
ton of most interest now is what course
will the Russians take on leaving Gen

Port Arthur news of a naval battle may
be expected, as the japanese are in force
