A dispatch from Toxic, Japan, says
all doubt as to the sinking of the
transports Hitaohi and Sado by the
Russians has been removed. Three
huncred ard ninety-seven survivors Of
the Hitachi have arrived at Moji and
153 survivorsof the Sado have arrived
at Kokura. Details Of the 6estruc.
tion OF the two transports and the
full extent Of the casualties are not
obtainable.
A later dispatch says details obtain
able from the survivors Of the i'll -fated
Japanese transports show that the
Hitachi and the Sado met three Rus
sian warsh!r Eesr Ikki island at 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning. The
Russians fired on the Japanese ships
and stopped them, and soon afterward
they torpedoed and sank the helpless
transports. The captain Of the Sado
and several other men were captured.
More than 100 men escaped in the
boats and landed at Kikura. A message
has been received here from Hagi say.
ing that the survivors of&the Hitachi
had drifted north to Shimonoseki and
been saved. The transport Izum Is
still missing.
1t is reported that. the transports
Hitachi and Sado carried only 1.40O
men. II this Is true, the loss in lives
is probably less than 1000. The
transports, however, had many horses
and large quantities OF supplies on
boart5 a,z,,...

Moji Fridaysnight as result of collid-
ins With the steamer Iamatokan.
Both vessels were on their way to

Negro cotton Min Failed.

The Columbia State says: 'The
Wilmington Messenger calls our at
tention to the fact that the defunct
Coleman cotton mill, the failure OF
which was lately noted in these
columns, was not only operated but
owned and managed by negroes. In
that case we do not think that the
evidence OF the negro's failure as a
cotton mill hand was as conclusive rs
in the case OF the Charleston mill,
which was financed by white capital
and managed by skilled white cotton
mill men. The case Of the Coleman
mill is, however, equally interesting
in another Way."

Well worth Seeing.

One Of the most interesting cx-
hibits among the many OF all kinds
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
in st. Louis is that OF the Winchesl er
Repeating Arms Company, of New
Haven Conn, manufacturers OF re-
pea ting rifles and ShotgunS and all
kinds Of ammunition The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on
the first day OF the fair, fact that
clearly illustrates the enterprise and
p-to-date methods Of the company
behind it. 1t is the aim Of the Win
chester Repeating Arms Company to
show at their exhibit the high develop
ment which they have reached in the
making Of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit TO
realize how near to perfection that
development has come. There can
be seen the new automatic repeating
rifle all kinds Of shotguns, the modern
smokeleSs powder shotgun shells and
rifle cartridges: in fact everything
that can interest the devoteeS of hunt
ing and trap and ira and target shoot
ing. Don't fail to see the exhibit
at the Manufacturers and Fish and
Game Buildings. It's well worth
your while

Mr.J. w. Bauer, section director,
says in his weekly report Of the crops,
gath;red from correspondence:
81 The week ending a. m., June 13,
had q mean temperature Of rs degrees,
which Is about below normal, due to
nearly normal temperatures during
the first four days and abnormally
cool weather during the last three.
The cool weather was accompanied by
FRESH to brisk northeast winds and
unusually low relative hu nudity. The
sunshine was normal In places and be-
low in others.
The greater portion of the State
hadfTom one to over two inches Of
raip =" three days. The upper Sa-
lyS valley had less than an inch,

few}ee,,,p areas in other sections the

Sun Sling for moisture. Streams are
very low and many wells are falling

A destructive wind and hail storm
passed through Plckens county; the
track OF the hail storm was about half
a mile wide ap1 all CROPS In this path
were destroyed. There were also
damaging wind storms in Spartan
burg and Sumter counties, and hail
occurred at various places in the
northern and northeastern counties,
doing some damage to crops
The weather was generally favora-
BILE for cultivation of field crops, but
with large areas where the ground
'no wet to work and where fields
have becoAc foul. AS a rule, corn,
cotton, tobacco, ficG and minor crops
are clean and well cultivated, and
have made marked improvement dur.
ing the last week
Corn made steady improvement In
all parts OF the State, and, although
small, Is growing nicely and has a
| healthy color. Earliest corn is being
laid by.
With few and unimportant cxcep-
tionS, cotton has now attained full
stands, although somewhat irregular
ones as to size. The plants are small
for the season, but have good color
and are growing nicely. Lice are re.
| ported from Abbeville county. Squares
have been reported from nearly al
sections, and few blooms have been
noted in Orangeburg county. Ir
places fields are becoming foul. Sea
island cotton shared in the genera
improvement, and now has full but
irregular stands and good color.
Tobacco improved and is being
'primed. F" Rice planting continue:
and she crop is making satisfactory
growth. Wheat and oat harvest i!
nearing completion; the yields o.
wheat are best In the extreme west
ern counties and only fair to poor il
the central ones. The oat crop i
best in the eastern counties, wher
In places the yields are heavy. Lat
oats show some improvement. Boil

On Burning Steamer

Perished.
MANY CHILDREN VICTIMS
Although the Steamer Was Not
Far From Shore, Fire and
Wave, in Few Minutes
Claimed Many.

One Of the most appalling disasters
in the history Of New York, tragic
In its immensity, dramatic in its
episodes and deeply pathetic in the
tender age Of most Of the victims,
took place Wednesday in the East
river at the entrance to Long Island
sound, within a short distance of the
New York shore and within sight Of
thousands of persons, the majority Of
whom were powerless to minimize the
extent of the catastrophe.
BY the burning to the waters edge
Of the Gen. Slocum, three-decked ex-
cursion steamer, the largest in these
waters, more than 600 persons, the
majority vi whom were women and
children, were burned to death or
drowned by jumping overheard or by
being thrown into the whirlpool by
the lurching OF the vessel and the
frantic rush Of the panic-stricken
passengers.
1t is the season Of Sunday school
excursions in New York bay and Long
Island sound, the latter one o! the
most picturesque bodies OF wal cr in

THE NUMBER on BOARD.


It is ,variously estimated that there
were between l, 800 and $500 persons
On board the Gen. Slocum when she
left the pier at Third street, East
river, though the Kirickerbocker
Steamship company, which owns the
SlOcum, officially states that the num-
ber OF persons was S73, that being
only one third Of the vessels capacity.
1t Is thought however, that there
were several hundred children In arms,
for whom fares are not usually charg
ed on these trips, on board.
The scene on the decks Of the
steamer as she proceeded up the East
river was one of merrymaking, cuSto-
mary on such occasions. The mass of
flags tluttered in the June breeze, the
bands were playing and the children
were singing, dancing and waving
handkerchiefs and flags in answer to
the salutatinuS OF those on shore or
from passing steamers. On the eX-
treme eastern end Of Randalls island,
off 135th street, there is a stretch of
water known as the sunken meadows.
At thiS, point, just as crowds were
watchin$ the gaily decorated steamer
from shore the Gen. Slocum took fire
and as the aSe>of the vessel she was
built In l89l-hal resulted in the well
seasoning Of the WOOL with which she
was almost entirely ut, she was
soon mass OF flame. J.. flame is
said to have broken out In ~ lunch
room on the forward deck by. ne
overturning Of a pot OF grease. The
xrtn oil Off
tinguish the blaze were futile.
FOR NORTH BROTHER ISLAND.
At 134th street there are several
lumber yards and oil tanks and as
Capt. William Van Schaick, in com
mand Of the Gen. Slocu.r, started to
turn his vessel towards the shore there
he was warned that it would set fire
to the lumber and oil and 50 he chang
ed his course for North Brother island
one OF the twin islands near the en-
trance to the sound some half a mile
away, where the boat partially burned
was beached. She sank near that
place at y. l5 O'Clock "Wednesday
afternoon, two hours and % minute!
after the ire was discovered.
In the meantime the passenger!
had become panic stricken and those
who were not caught up by the llame!
rushed to the rear Of the vessel ant
hundreds jumped overheard into tht
swiftly running waters. 1T is alleged
that the life preserverS we're toJ Sc
curely fastened to their holdings to b,
