kuropatkin,s Report.

st. Petersburg. May 24.-The follow
ing dispatch. dated May %, from Gen
eral Kuropatkin. has been received by
Emperor Nicholas:
"All is quiet in the direction OF the
Fin Chou Ling mountains. 1t is re-
ported from Stu Yen that on May 21st
a Japanese force consisting altogether
of about one regiment of infantry and
two regiments of cavalry OF the guard
and of the line. was observed moving
on the broad front from Harbin toward
Salitzaiputz.
During the night of May 20-21 one
of our sotnias, returning from Taku-
shan to Loua Mao and Khondou Kan.
discovered a detachment of Japanese
infantry bivouacing at Sitkhoutchind-
"a. ten miles northwest Of Takushan.
The Japanese opened fire on our
troops.
There is no change in the situation
along the shore OF the Lao Tung pen
insula."
The general staff says the reoccupa-
ton Of New Chwang by the Russians
In force Is due to the change in the
situation produced by the loss OF the
Japanese ships last week. General Ku-
ropatkin originally had decided to
abandon the town. because of the Jap
anese complete mastery of the sea,
but the losses sustained by Admiral
Togo's feet so change the relative
strength of the two fleets that it is
believed to render unsafe the dispatch
of Japanese transports around the
Lao Tung peninsula.

Port Arthur Is Strong.

st. Petersburg. May 24.-Considera-
BILE optimism is felt here at the evil
dent difiiculties with which the Japan.
ese are meeting and the success of the
Russian forces In preventing the close
investment OF Port Arthur. which is
known to be receiving quantities OF
fresh provisions from the Chinese.
It is understood here that the Japan
ese propose rushing matters by storm
ing Port Arthur. After having first
said they were prepared to sacrifice
1000 troops in doing 20. the Japanese
now raise the number to 10000.
Military experts. remembering that
It cost Russia many more men to as
sault Plevna. the defences of which
were inferior to those of Port Arthur
say that the Japanese will not carry II
at q cost OF twice tina: number.
Port Arthur is provided with every
defensive method which the ingenuity
of man has been able to devise, from
the old-fashioned moat to the modern
barbed wired entanglements. The most
complicated kind of pitfalls and mines
abound in all the passable approaches
What is considered much more seri.
GUS in military circles is the rapid
strengthening of the right flank OF
General Kuroki's army. 1t is estima'
ted. in spite of reports of retirement
that the Japanese will attack before
many days have passed by striking at
the center and right wing simuitane-
ously.
Admiral Skrydloff's arrival at Vladi
vostok indicates that surely something
will soon be done by the Russian fleet
there.

"A Japanese third army Is mobiliz-

and orders of their superior officers. AS
deputy game wardens of the state, they
are doing much toward protecting ana
preserving the large game of the Yel-
lowstone forest reserve. The greatest
difficulty in this country, where ex-
penses are high, feed scarce in winter
and provisions difficult to produce at
times. Is to secure and retain men OF
the necessary qualifications for the sal
ary now paid to rangers. Wages are
high In this locality and most men
are paid and not where they must
furnish everything.
''In general. the conditions on the
Yellowstone forest reserve are better
this year than for many seasons past.
Owing to heavy SHOWS last winter and
an unusual amount of rain during the
summer months the grazing lands on
the reserve with few exceptions were
In excellent condition and feed was
plentiful"
The inspector says the range force
on the Yellowstone forest reserve Is at
the present time better organized and
more efficient than ever before. In the
entire trip Of almost 1900 miles not
one forest fire was seen by the inspeN-
tors party.
Mr. Barrett says that while In the
field he made 1t n point to meet all
classes Of citizens who are interested
either directly or indirectly in the for
est reserve policy. and adds:
"Sheepmen. cattlemen, ranchers ana
business men were interviewed, their
views obtained and noted down. While
a great many OF the settlers had soma
small grievance against the forest re-
serve policy, only a very few were
rsbid and anti-forest reserve people
were met. and the large majority OF
the actual settlers are well disposed
toward the reserve and recognize ita
advantages. although many Of them be-
lieve there should be certain changes
made in present regulations"

HIS CAREER ENDS.
Germany Loses Great Soldier in
the Death of Field Marshal
Won Waldersee.

Hanover, Prussia, March Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee died at
eight o'clock Saturday evening. He had
been ailing for long time, but it was
only within day or two that his friends
had become alarmed over his condition.
His malady was Intestinal trouble.
Count Won Waldersee will be given a
military funeral. He was very popular
will all classes, who received him with
cheers whenever he appeared in public.
Field Marshal Count Alfred Won Wal
dersee was born in Potsdam in 1892 and
entered the Prussian army at the age
of Is. In all he served in the army more
than SO years and during that time won
renOWn as one of the ablest soldiers in
the world. He served in four campaigns,
that of Schleswig-Holstein in 1854. the
war with Austria in 1866, the campaign
against France in 1S70-71, and in the
conflict against the Boxers in China in
1900. He was a man in whom Won
Moltke, the famous German tactician.
put the greatest trust, and was selected
by him as the most promising candidate
in the empire for military honors When
Won Moltke retired, owing to the dis
abilities of age, Waldersee was made
chief of staff, and thus became, under the
kaiser, the chief commander of the army.

TRADE REVIEW.
In Spite of Effect of Bad Weather Con-

Business continued to improve, de-

Relief of Settlers.

Many settlers in Minnesota and the
Dakotas are interested in bill which
passed the senate legalizing land proofs
and entries made outside the limits of
United States land districts.
Itappears that, subsequent to the
act of 1902 many settlers proceeded to
file entries and complete proof in &C
eordanoe with what they supposed to
be the law. The errors were due to
the failure of the local officials to COM
ply with the orders Of the general land
Office. AS a result many settlers were
subjected to hardships which the meas
ure passed proposed to remedy.

uPHoLDs PLURAL MARRIAGE
President Smith Gives Testimony
Before Senate Committee in
the Smoot Inquiry.

Washington, March 3-Mormonism
was placed on trial before the. senate
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday when the taking of testimony
was begun to determine whether Reed
Smoot, OF Utah, should retain his seat
in the senate. Joseph D. Smith, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, was on the
witness stand all day and in his testi-
mony admitted that he believed polyg-
amy to be right and that the governing
bodies of the church held the same POI
sition, and that the church still taught
polygamy.
With startling frankness Mr.. Smith
admitted-or rather proudly declared
that he is polygamist, that he has con-
tinued to live and cohabit with several
wives, and has had children born to him
by his plural wives in open violation of
the law since the manifesto of 1890. He
stated unreservedly and unhesitatingly
that he knew he was violating the law,
but preferred to do so rather than give
up his wives
Washington, March admissions
drawn from Joseph F. Smith, president
of the Mormon church, respecting his
continued violations of the law forbid
ding polygamous cohabitation again
constituted the feature of the proceed
ings Saturday before the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections against
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah. The wit
ness, angered by the persistent efforts of
some members of the committee to OBJ
tain from him every detail of his remis-
sion in obeying the law, turned on con-
gress and charged that body with inter-
fering without authority in his private
domestic affairs and usurping the pow
ers of the Utah courts, which alone, he
said, possessed the right to hold him to
account for his conduct.
Vladivostock, March IA fleet of five
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at 1925 o'clock
Sunday afternoon and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for IS minutes.
The fleet approached from the direction
of Askold island, at the east entrance
to Ussuri bay and about 80 miles south
east Of Vladivostock Entering Ussuri
bay the enemy formed in line of battle,
but did not approach to a closer range
than mile and one-third. They directed
their fire against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage resulted, as
most of the 200 lyddite shells failed to
burst. The Russian batteries, COM
manded by Gems. Veronetz and Artamo-
noff, did not reply, awaiting closer ap-
proach of the enemy. The Japanese fire
ceased at 2:20 p. m. and the enemy re-
tired in the direction of Askold island.
simultaneously two torpedo boat de-
stroyers appeared near Askold island
and two more near Cape Maidel The
Japanese ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 100000
roubles ($100,00O) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were six and 12-inch
shells. ~. - Il.

Dairy Cows In Winter.


The change from pasture to winter
conditions is apt to be a trying one for
the dairyman. The cows do not take
kindly at first to the dry feed and con-
sequently do not consume enough to
keep up the milk flow. If they are
turned out and compelled to range over
the pasture during severe storms the
ton of milk. The cows should be pro-
vided with well drained lot and some
sort Of shed for shelter from the wind
and rain. For roughness the most pal
atable feed obtainable should be pro-
vided and fed in managers or racks.
Sorghum fodder or hay will be most
acceptable feed for them, as it is very
juicy and succulent and will make the
change from pasture to dry feed less
abrupt. The shelter should be provided
by all means, whatever feed is obtain
able for roughness. The dairy cow,
with her thin covering of flesh, should
never be allowed to shiver along the
windward side of barb wire fence.
1t will pay in dollars and cents to make
the cow as comfortable as possible, for
every discomfort she is subjected to
will be evidenced by reduced flow of
milk, and it is almost impossible to
bring the flow back to the original
amount. -.
Hints About Milking.
A poor mixer will spoil almost any
COW. In the mere process of milking
a great difference is made in the yield
Of a dairy COW. The ability to bring
cow to her largest yield varies with
mixers, says NJ. Farley in Farm and
Home. Owing to the fact that large
proportion Of cows milk is secreted
during the process of milking, it must
naturally follow that unless a COW is
in a quiet, contented state of mind and
satisfied with the mixer the usual Sc
erection of new supplies will not take
place.
It is generally owing to this cause
that cows often "hold up the milk as
it is termed. This cannot be obviated
so long as the cow is in a restless state
Of mind and dissatisfied with her milk
er. It should be the aim Of the mixer
to gain her good will by feeding those
things she is most fond of. 1t makes a
great difference in the milking quail
ties of COW as to who her mixer is
and how the milking is performed
Concentrated Feeds.
Corn is the basis of several of the
best known concentrated feeds now on
the market. Gluten feed, corn Oil cake
meal and gluten meal are all made
from the best feeding parts of corn
and in the process of manufacture are
rendered almost wholly digestible. Re-
cent experiments both in this country
and Europe showed gluten feed to be
from SO to so per cent digestible and
always reliable for feeding all kinds
of live stock, insuring the most eco
nomieal gains. It matters not whether
| the farmer is feeding for meat Or milk
| it is true economy to feed ration
balanced with some of the digestibIe
corn concentrated feeds.-Dairy and
