vision of infantry we're completely wiped

japanese commander tried the expedient
OF driving herds of cattle over the ground
mined, thinking thus to explode the
mines. The scheme, however, was a
failure, and aided the Russians, who
caught the cattle and thusincreased their
| food stores which have run so low that
horses are being slaughtered for food.

port is said to be $50 roubles.

The New York Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 10. There was a
decided falling off in transactions in the
market this morning. The excessive
moisture reported in the West, coupled
with further sharp advances in wheat,
was depressing influence, which, how
ever, had only a nominal effect as re-
CARDS prices. The sugar stock opened
down !, rallied Z, then sold off II.
Profit taking appeared somewhat pro-
nounced in Union and Southern Pacific
which sold off nearly a point each.
The speculation is inclined to lag, al
though the belief in crop damage is not
strong enough to induce important
liquidation.

mystery would be cleared up. The police

telling bis story. Mannino identified Gu

in the Province of Chieti, Italy, were
thrown into a state of panic on Monday
evening by party Of 40 lunatics, who
we're detrained at the railway station
without notice and set Free They wan
dered about the town, committing all
kinds of eccentricites, and frightening
many Of the shOpkeepers and other resi-
dents nearly out Of their lives. The
mayor teIegraphed to the perfect of the
province for an explanation. In reply
he learned that the provincial council,
owing to lack of funds, had been obliged
to close the lunatic asylum and send all
the inmates home to their families.
Those who were unclaimed and without
relatives had been sent to Atesse, the
nearest town. and set free. This extra
ordinary act of the provincial council
has been referred to the government at
Rome, so that prompt action may be
taken in the matter. In the meantime
the homeless lunatics are wandering
about the town of Atessa in halt starved
condition, to the great annoyance and
terror of the inhabitants.

At Leedstown, on the Rappahannock,
on Saturday, quite crowd had gathered
on the arrival Of the steamer, and a
burly negro rudely iostled against lady
as she was being escorted on the boat.

ensued, and some one knocked the negro
to the wharf with a baseball bat. A
general fight resulted, in which twenty
people participated. The officers and
crew had all they could do to keep the
combatants off the steamer, and in do

CRIMES, especially those Of violence,
have been unusually frequent in July
and the present month in New York.
There is a striking prevalence of news
items relating the circumstances of hold
ups, assaults, riots, burglaries, shooting
and stabbing afirays and murders. Riots,
not merely those provoked by strikes,
start up on slight occasion. Crimes,
murder and blackmail have been start
lingly common. With offenses of this
sort the police machinery now appears
to be powerless to deal effectively. In
fact the sincerity Of these minions of the
law is questioned in some of the large
cities, while it is believed military COM
panies have at times manifested lethargy
in dealing with disorderly elements.
The scenes in Chicago yesterday were a
disgrace to American institutions, and
from present indications they will be no
better until the disorderly elements be-
come tired out.

A Good Showing.

New York, Aug. 19.-Advices re-
ceived by the international Mercantile
Agency show that there has been little
change in business conditions during the
week except in districts specially affect
ed by reports Of crop damage and dis
turbance incident to the cut in steel
prices. Business on the whole shows up
we'll and in most retail lines is fully
holding its own. In certain sections of
the West trade has been decidedly
strengthened, with improved distribution
and generally hopeful feeling.

Deplorable state of Affairs.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Word has
been received that smallpox is raging
along the railway route in eastern Russia.
Affairs there are in bad state. Anvil
youisk there is hospital where the sick
may be taken, but there are no doctors
to attend to them. At Tschaniskom
the inhabitants are dying by scores, and
so many are sick that the dead bodies are
lying about unEuried. In other parts
similar conditions prevail. Medical aid
cannot be obtained and there seems to
be no signs of relief.

Berlin, Aug. 19.-The Frankleuter

American Minister Leishmann, the paper

THE Virginia State Firemen's Asso-
citation. it seems, virtually has no bids
for next years convention. Lexington,
Charlottesville, Harrisonburg and Rich
mond were suggested as places at which
TO hold the next meeting. There was
no disposition on the part of delegates
from either of these places to extend
very cordial invitations, several reasons
having been given by the representatives
why they were not authorized and why
they were not at liberty to extend such
profers. Harrisonburg was finally
chosen as the place of next meeting,
the delegates from that town saying
they would take the responsibility OF
saving that if the association went to
Harrisonburg next year it would be re-
ceived with all the hospitality the citi-
zens of that place could tender, but they
could expect nothing from the present
CITY government there. The association
has seldom met in Alexandria, but on
these far-apart occasions the members
have met with sincere words Of welcome
and everything reasonable has been done
to make their stay here as pleasant as
possible. This year the city has shown
nnfeipned interest in the association,
and it is believed the members and the
MANY friends who have accompanied
them appreciate the entertainment thai
has been afforded them.
