MARKET GREW STRONG
Spectators Still Manifest Faith in
 Wheat.

New York, Aug. 15.-The creeping movement of prices which was the characteristic of last weeks stock mar ket developed into a strong comprehen- sive upward movement today. The volume of transactions arose about to the previous total of any day during the present movement. The market was broad end its strength and activ- ity well distributed, practically all di- visions of the market sharing in the advance.
 There was much selling to take prof its during the day, and constant reac- tions in consequence, but the manner of digesting profit taking was more convincing as to the health of the mar ket than the upawrd rush of prices it. self. which has been under suspicion of manipulation and due to the skilIful tactics of professional operators. This suspicion has been effective in keeping the general public out of the trading in dread that the professional operators would prove impossible of successful competition, and would lead to a col lapse when the period to take profits arrived.

BENT ON SATISFACTION.
Russia Will Not Let the Ryeshteni
 Affair Drop.

St Petersburg, Aug. 15.-Prcsenta- tion Of a strongly worded note to the Pekin government, demanding an ex- planation of the Ryeshitelni incident, coupled with q demand for the restor- ation Of the destroyer, as foreshadowed by the protest sent to the Japanese and the powers, shows that Russia is apparently determined to obtain satis- faction for affrOnt II is believed here that the least Japan can do is to sur render the destroyer unless she wishes to place herself on record as defying the most categorical provisions of in- ternatiOnal law, with the possibilities of ultimate complications.
 Russian, Japanese and Chinese yer sions all agree that the vessel was cap tured in a neutral harbor. The charge of cowardice and cOmplicity brought against the Chinese admiral is based alike on his failure to protect an un- armed vessel and on his permitting the Japanese destroyers to enter the har- bOr. It is pointed out that it was the admiraTs duty to place a guard on board the Ryoshitelni, taking off the Russian crew

KAMIMURA'S VICTORY.
The Admiraps Account of the Engage
 ment Of Sunday.

Tokio, Aug. 15.-Admiral Kamimura tory over the VIadivostok squadron, says: At dawn of Sunday morning. tain Ijichi, the Adsuma, Captain Fujii, the Tokiwa. Captain Yoshimatsu, and the Iwate, Capt. Toketomi, while en- gagged in a search off Ulsan, Korea, dis covered three of the VladivostOk squadron steaming southward. See ing us the enemy endeavOred to flee northward. We immediately closed their retreat. The engagement opened at 5:23 e. m. The Rurik being the slOwcst of the encmy's vessels, was con- stantly left behind and she formed a target for Ou-' incessant fire. The ROS- sia and Gromoboi galIantly attempted several times to protect the Rurik. They frequently returned to the Rurik and when united the three advanced to- gether. Our fleet thus had the ad- vantage of pouring it's fire from a for nation in the shape. of the letter ''T." The cuemy's ships were seen to be on fire several times showing thereby that they were heavily dama ged. The Rur- ik was finally disabled and her fire weakened. She began lowering in the water listing to port. The ROssia and Gromoboi finally abandoned the Rurik. Just then our fourth detachment cor sisting of the protected cruisers Nani- wa, Captain Wada and TakashihO. Captain Mori. having been seen attack ing the Rurik, our squadron pursued the Rossia and Gromoboi. Severe fight ing continued for five hours. The ROssia and the Gromoboi escaped 70 northward at full speed. At 10:19 q. m. our squadron changed its course O starboard and went south in search or the Rurik. In the meantime, the Rur- ik had been sunk. Our ships steamed over the locality and succeeded in saw ing 500 members of the Rurik's crew. Our damage was not serious. The spirlt of our men was excellent"

Admiral Kamimura was on the Id- sumo and Vice Admiral Uriu com manded the fourth detachment.
 The Japanese generally are compar- ing the treatment accorded the crew of the Rurik with that accorded by the Vladivostok squadron to those on board the transport Hitachi, which the squadron sank on June 15, during it's first raid. \ prominent official said to the Associated Press today: "Ja- pan has avenged the Hi.achi. Admiral Kamimura rescued and succored those who aided in sinking the Hitachi and who sailed away from hundreds of drowning victims. We offer their liv- ing for our dead"

ST. PETERSBURG IN DOUBT.
It Has Heard Little of it's Scattered
 Squadron.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 16, 1:30 a. m.- The admiralty has no information as to whether Lieutenant Newton L Me Gull of the United States navy and Lieutenant Decuiverville of the French navy, the only two naval attaches at Port Arthur, joined Admiral Withoefts squadron when it left port on Wednos- day morning last. Had they joined they would presumably have been on board the flagship Czarevitch. Ab- sence of news as to their presence with Admiral Withoeft is taken to indicate that they remaired on her and it is pointed out that it would be perfectly within the admiraTs province to de- cline to take the attaches in case he considered the enterprise too hazard ous, so as not to expose the represen- tatives of a neutral nation to danger
 It is reported that Viceroy AlexieT has left Mukden hurriedly for VladfTo- stock on receipt of news that the ill., ness of Vice Admiral Bezobrazoff had taken a serious turn and that the ad- miral was not expected to recover.
