Liaoyang. Saturday, May 16.-The
Russian heet scored its first distinct
naval success of the war on May 10 by
torpedoing and Gripping, though not
sinking, en- armored cruiser in Iaen
wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the Ja1a nese
squadron was concentrated CT side
Dalny, devoting its whole attent')n to
TalienWan bay, and was carr. ID out
the stme night.
The attacking force was not a regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only a small
naptha launch in command Of 4 young
naval officer. who had with In 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. 1t was late when she gained
the outer line of the Japanese squad
ron. Shipping through the torpedo

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 di-
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
a 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.

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

Many Countries.
The following ClO) report OF the
department of ag- culture 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 a 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- 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
France-Cereal crops are said to b'
progressing as well as could be de
sired.
Belgium-Fall sown crops are gen
orally satisfactory.
The Netherlands-Th reports OF
spring sowing are favorable. Aver
age better than in previous years.
Great Britain-Winter wheat ha
improved, but is still far from salts
factory. Spring wheat is generally ia
vorable.

British Columbia Notes.

Last weeks Boundary mines ore
year over the 100000 figure.
Despite the advances made by new
er mining camps in British Columbia,
Rossland produced 43 per cent of all
the metals mined in southern Koote-
nay and southern Yale in 1903.
The lie Roi company, operating the
big mine at Rossland, has been giving
attention lately to the problem of wa
ter concentration to cut out the excess
of silica which has been raising the
cost of smelling. Three furnaces are
in operation at the Northport smelter
From official statements by the man
agement of the Splice mine at Ross
land it is demonstrated that the prop.
erty is in an exceedingly satisfactory
condition.
H. G. Pemberton, business manager
for the Montreal & Boston Console
dated, is arranging for resumption OF
work at the company's plant. He re
ports the deal for consolidation prac
tically completed, and that as rapidly
as possible a great smelling industry
will be developed. Two furnaces will
be put in commission as soon as stores
of ore and fuel can be assembled.
Just what the lie Roi company pur
poses doing in the immediate future
is a puzzle to Rosslanders. Develop
ments expected ere this have not ma
terialized, the officials have not takeI
the public into their confidence ant
interest runs high as to the probable
immediate outcome of the present sit
uation. The smelter has four furnaces
in full blast, and the mine is shipping
$50 tons daily, but beyond this littl
is known. The crew at the mine ha
been further reduced and now nun
bers only 125 men. Many rumors ar
af1oat, but nothing definite can be Sc
cured.

TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Seasonable weather has restored
normal conditions in many branches
OF retail trade, but the improvement
has not yet extended to wholesale
jobbing or manufacturing departments
except in special lines. 1t is difficult
to find evidences of increased activity
in any of the leading industries, and
there is more idle machinery. Traffic
conditions are little unchanged, rail
way earnings in the first week falling
rs per cent behind last year, and the
late opening Of lake navigation was
further retarded by a strike. While
many features of the business situa-
'tion make poor comparisons with last
year, it is worthy of note that few
presidential years have made a better
exhibit.
Failures in the United States were
236.

TRUCKEE RIVER CABLE BROKE
ABOUT FIVE MILES WEST OF
RENO, NEVADA.
Four Young People Lost Their Lives
While Half Way Across Rapids One
Strand Parted and They All Fell
Into the Water-Men Gave Up Their
Lives to Save the Girls.

Reno, New, May 16.-By the break
ing Of one of the spans of the suspen-
sion tramway across the Truckee river
at Laughton Springs, 5 miles west OF
this city, at 2 o'clock today, four young
people, Maurice Jacobs, young bust
ness man of this city; Miss Nita Nc
MILAN, a daughter Of a prominent
Reno business man; Mrs. e. S. EIDE,
Jr., and Mr.. Kingsley of Chicago, were
precipitated from the car into the swol-
len stream and drowned.
The accident was witnessed by Fred
Coleman of San Francisco, who was
unable to render any assistance. The
tramway consists Of two steel cables
stretched across the river, upon which
a car runs, which is much used by
pleasure seekers. Sunday the four
young people entered the car to cross
the river. When they reached mid
stream one of the strands parted. One
piercing shrek was heard and the four
were observed in the rapids. The men
were both athletes, and gave up their
lives in a heroic effort to save their
companions. Mr.. Jacobs was seen for
a few moments swimming with Miss
Mcmillan, holding her above water,
and was then seen to turn on his back,
the better to save her, when she seized
him and bore the strong swimmer be-
meath the current. There was no time
that the two young men could not ap-
parently have saved themselves
though at the place where the accident
occurred there are swift rapids, the wa
ter seething and boiling over great
rocks.
Hundreds of people are searching
for the bodies of the victims of the
accident, but up to late hour only one
has been discovered. Under the di
rection of Chief of Police LeeppeI
electric lights have been strung across
the river at intervals for several miles
and nets have been placed. The search
ing party is exploding dynamite over
the stream, but thus far efforts have
been unavailing. Owing to the promi
nence of the victims of the tragedy
the entire city is in mourning, and the
river banks are lined with throngs o
people.
Mr.. Tilsman was a prominent bust
ness man of Chicago, who was camp
ing at Laughton's Springs for thu
benefit of his health.

of nine or 10 cities in the province of
Moscow and Kharokoff, where he will
personally bid farewell to the various
divisions of the Seventh army corps,
which has been mobolized at these
points and which are ready to start
