Fiercest Battle
Jap-Russo War

A dispatch dated August 81 from
Mukden to st. Petersburg says that lin
the stubb0rnly fought battle between
tremendous armies which has been in
progress near Liaoyang since yesterday
morning, all attempts of the japanese
to turn the Russian flank have been re-
pulsed. 1t Is said at Mukden that the
Japanese lost over ten guns. Repeated
assaults by the japanese on the south
center and right of the Russian line
were made, bat. despite the fearful
fire of the enemy and the desperate
charges of japanese infantry, the Rus
slams have held their positions and in
flicted severe losses on the enemy.
The battle, in which over 400, 900
men and probably 1000 heavy guns are
engaged, is regarded as the turning
point of the summer campaign.
The latest kilograms from the front
state that the japanese have 1900 guns
near Liaoyang. Several kilograms from
Lieutenant Sax harof were received
during the day and forwarded to the
emperor. They have not yet been pub
lished

LITTLE WHEAT FOR EXPORT.
Fear That Our Foreign Trade Bal
ance Will Suffer.

Fear That Our Foreign Trade Bal
ance Will Suffer.
New YOrk.-The amount of wheat
that We shall export during the next u
months, in view of the fact that it is
conceded We can spare very little, is
being wildly discussed, and some fears
are entertained for our foreign trade
balance. One authority estimated that
on the basis of average of the last
three years we will consume 434 ,000.-
| 600 bushels of wheat in this country
during the present fiscal year. of which
nearly two months has elapsed, and
that if we need 10000, 900 bushels foI
seed, it will make a total home con
sumption of 510000.O00 bushels leav-
ing only 100000 expOrtable surplus
in a crop of $50. 900, 600 bushels. If the
crop turns out 10000. 900 bushels larger
we shall then have 60,00O,0 900 bushels
for export. Allowing that stocks on
hand at the beginning of this fiscal
year were $4,000. 600 bushels, this
would permit of shipment of 92000,000
bushels, according to the estimate Civ
en-, or 132,0O0,00O bushels, in case the
crop is $4,000, 900 bushels
Exports for July were 100000
bushels, against 9,5G0,00O for the same
month of last year The value of our
wheat exports last year was $38, 800
900, against $S7700.00 the previous
year and SIP, 10000 in 1902, -four ex-
ports being respectively $68S00,000,
$73,700, 900 and $65,600,000 for the
three years mentioned. 1t is generally
assumed that unless European crops
are very short people of those coun-
tries will buy little wheat from us
above 81 bushel. 1t is not expected
that much corn will be exported eth
er, at current prices. A material de-
cline in corn is predicted a little later
perhaps next month"; this cereal
turns ont well.

NOT IN EARN EST.

Professor H. G. Howison, head of the department of philosophy at California University, ventured to make some re- marks about feminine curiosity" and was so reported or rnisreported that he has felt obliged to do a little ex- .plaining. He says his remarks about feminine curiosity were made playfully and jocosely, and he doesn't seem to be joking when he begs the public to be- lieve that "the women are here both by right and by law, and they are not yet exercising any perceptible de- pressive influence on our standards, ex- Icept such as the ill-prepared among them exercise in common with the many ill-prepared men; and this is not owing to their sex, but to the latitudinarian hospitality of the university authori- ties, responding to like loose kindli- ness in our general public. When said, Some of us think that the women l z -
 are coming to the university in too great numbers used the phrase, some of us,' not to include my self in the list, but in the common way of mild politeness to indicate without tone of distance some of my colleagues in number, as I am happy to believe. l had no suspicion that it would be taken to signify that their opinion and feeling in the matter were mine"
 The Professor has slipped out pretty well, and he will know better the next time. Of course learned Professor of Philosophy wouldn't talk about femin- +

THE HORRORS OF WAR.

Civilization Has Done Nothing To-
 ward Eliminating Brutality.
 Notwithstanding all that has been done in modern times to mitigate the horrors of war, reports from the batle- fields in the Far East furnish frequent and painful illustrations of the accur- aey of General Sherman's famous character of war. Tn one of these reports we read that in the awful struggle around Liao Yang the Rus sians entieed large body og Japanese into field of Chinese corn, wherein a great number of deep pits had been dug, filled with sharp stakes and con cealed from view. Into these pits, says the report, the Japanese fell and were impaled on the stakes so that the pits soon became filled with dead and dy- ing men. Another account, given on credible authority, tells how detach- ment of 700 Japanese, on a night march in the vicinity of Liao Yang. were all blown into fragments by a mine con cealed unedr the road by the Russians. More horrible than even these scenes of blood and wholesale slaughter are the conditions around Port Arthur. Here, according to the story told by France Radziwil, of the Russian army, the soldiers on both sides have become so imbittered toward each other that they no longer give quarter, but slay all who fall into their hands, While the dead lie between the lines. rotting in great heaps, neither side daring to venture out to their burial As for the wound ed who fall in this same area between the firing lines. their fate is most frightful of all. For days afterward," So reads the account, the wounded men in this area raised f1uttering bandkerchiefs in their hands as pleas for help, but the Russians were afraid to venture out to give succor. Within a week the last arm had made it's last unregarded prayer for help, and the shambles were quiet but ghastly field of horror" All this in this fourth year of the twentieth century, and in the name of civilization and progress! God forbid!-From Leslie's Weekly.
