ON THE ROCKS

CHE Foo. June 29.-2 p. m.-Chin-

large vessel, presumably a Russian
vessel, on the rocks ten miles southeast
of Liao Tie Shan promontory. Three
tunnels and two masts are above wat
er. The Chinese also state that after
the Japanese fleet moved away from
the entrance to Port Arthur, June 2i,
the Russian fleet again emerged, re.
manning out a short time.
Fighting is reported to be contlnu'
Gus on land and from the sea. The
weather has been stormy since Mon

To Prevent a Strenuous Fourth

The authorities all over the State are
preparing to rigidly enforce this year
all laws tending to prevent too
strenuous Fourth of July celebration.
The State Board of Health it is an
nounced has urged upon the Mayor or
Chief Burgess of every city and town
in the State the need of enforcing the
laws relative to the sale of toy pistols
and high explosives for the protection
of life and limb.
Startling as the statement may ap-
pear the State Board asserts that the
recorded number of casualties in the
United States resulting from the use
of toy pistols, giant crackers and
other high explosives oil the last
Fourth of July was as great as the
losses sustained by the Russ ian forces
in the recent two days battle with the
Japanese at Maicheny. Russians kill
ed and wounded in that engagement
is admitted to have been 5000. The
Fourth of July casualties in this coun-
try last year were 4,349, including 46G
deaths and these figures the State
Board of Health, says are doubtless
far below the actual facts. The fol
lowing statistics have been gathered
by Colonel Milton a. Embick, chair
man of the State Boards Committee
on Explosives, of accidents aud deaths
on the last Fourth of July. Died of
lockjaw caused by injuries 4O6 Died
of other injuries 60 Totally blinded

Crop Conditions.

According to the government wealth
er bulletin state crop conditions are
about as follows: Wheat and rye are
heading rapidly and promise a much
larger yield than was expected early
in the season. Some hay has been cut
and full average crop is in prospect
Oats are in fine condition and garden
truck made rapid growth. The repant-
ing of corn and tobacco is about
completed. Corn is backward and un-
even but in good color and with sun
shine and warm nights should make
rapid advancement. Potatoes are do
ing we'll. Peaches will be scarce but
other fruits bid fair to be plentiful.
