McCOY-O'BRIEN FIGHT.
After Six Fast Rounds, Declared a
Draw.

"Kid" Mccoy and Jack O'Brien Sat-
urday night fought one of the most
scientific six round bouts ever seen
in Philadelphia at the Armory. At
the close of the bout it would have
been a difficult task to pick the win
ner. Mccoy had the better of the
third and fourth rounds, while O'Brien
had the kid" in trouble at the close
of the fifth round and also in the sixth.
Mccoy was visibly in distress at the
end of the sixth round. He repeated.
ly ran. away from O'Brien, and made
no attempt to counter when O'Brien
led. There were no marks on Mccoy,
while O'Brien's left eye was bleeding.
O'Brien's blows lacked force, and this
fact alone probably saved McCoy's
being knocked out. O'Brien landed the
greatest number of blows, but McCoy's
punches had more steam.

The LIE Roi company, operating the
big mine at Rossland, has been giving
attention lately to the problem of wa

of silica which has been raising the
cost of smelling. Three furnaces are
in operation at the Northport smelter.

condition.

be put in commission as soon as stores

Just what the LIE Roi company pur-
poses doing in the immediate future
is a puzzle to Rosslanders. Develop

interest runs high as to the probable

FOREIGN CROPS DOING WELL.
Favorable Reports Received From
Many Countries.

The following crop report of the
department of agriculture gives the
following resume Of conditions in vari.
Gus parts of the world:
Russia-Several experts agree that
the season is two or three weeks later
than usual. The tenor of the many
unofficial reports regarding the general
crop situation in Russia has been de.
cidedly unfavorable, but more hopeful
views are held in some quarters.
Germany-The three principal ce.
reals are all rated materially higher
than year ago, the difference being
especially marked in the case of wheat
and rye. The sowing of the spring
crops is backward in many localities,
owing to wet, cold weather.
Austria-The fall sown crops in
most provinces wintered well. and,
with rare exceptions, their condition
affords the best grounds for hopes.
Austria-Hungary-The official report
is generally favorable.
Roumania and Bulgaria-Crop re.
ports are generally favorable.
Turkey-The latest available report
indicates that the grain crops in east
ern Turkey were not injured by the
cold weather.
Italy-Crop reports are favorable
and crops are growing rapidly.
Spain--Crops generally satisfactory

CZAR'SF|RSTNAVALS SUCCESS
ToRpEpoED AND CRIPPLED A JAP.
ANESE CRUISER.
Occurred OFF the Coast OF Dalny-
While Japanese Were Concentrating
Their Attention to TaIienwan Bay
Russian Launch Crept Among
Them and Shot Torpedoes.

Liaoyang, Saturday, May 16.-The
Russian fleet scored it's first distinct
naval success of the war on May 10 by
torpedoing and Gripping, though not
sinking, an armored cruiser in Talien-
wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the Japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny, devoting it's whole attention to
Talienwan bay, and was carried out
the same night.
The attacking force was not regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only a small
naptha launch in command of a young
naval officer, who had with him three
jackies. The launch mounted small
machine gun and carried three tor
pedOes.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore.
with no lights aboard, and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence. It was late when she gained
ron. Shipping through the torpedo
boat pickets and selecting the nearest
warship, a big armored cruiser, she
stole toward her and succeeded in ex-
ploding against her side single tor
pedo.
A deafening roar followed the ex-
plosion, which echoed far ashore. I'M
mediately flames enveloped the cruiser,
which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to be
fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the Japanese
ships, but, being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to go into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny Only
few of the higher officers were aware
of the plan, the success of which de-
pended upon secrecy. The achievement
raised the spirits of the Russians
afloat and ashore, and the young naval
officer who was the hero of the exploit
was feted and recommended for the
cross of st. George.
