tunity.
On the Yalu, May 8, by courier to
Seoul, May IA delayed in transmits
sion)-(London Times. Your CORES
pondent today examined the 20 field
guns captured from the Russians and
discovered that they are all of the
latest pattern and were in no way dis
abled by the Russian gunners who fed
and left them behind. General Ku-
rold also secured quantity of rifle
ammunition, a large part of which is
suitable for use. The Russians also
left behind them entrenchment tools,
clothing, brass band instruments, the
latter riddled with bullets, and u
large number of ammunition wagons.
Your correspondent visited the de-
tention camp where the prisoners are
held. They are being well treated and
the wounded are all In temporary
field hospital, their lodgings being
even superior to that of the wounded
Japanese. The Japanese guards fra
ternize with the Russians and supply
them with cigarettes. Two Russian
officers died of their wounds and were
buried with military honors.
The Chinese here say that the Rus
SLAMS treated them with every consid-
GRAFTON and paid for all supplies COM
mn &c, ln
SLAMS retiring from Feng Huang Cheng
is hard to learn. This action has
been great surprise to the japanese
who expected them to make a stub
born resistance at this point where
they had occupied strong natural
position.
The spirit of the Japanese column is
well exemplifed by The following in
cident. A company of japanese who
mad not been engaged in the battle
of Kiu Leng Cheng was detailed to
Join in the pursuit of the fleeing Rus
slams. They took a short cut and
caught up with the rear guard of the
enemy long before any OF their sup
port was in sight. Nothing daunted,
they Immediately attacked only to be
driven back to the mountains. They
held their position against repeated as
saults by the enemy until only one Off
Ger and less than half the company
were left. The remaining officer gave
the command to fix bayonets, so soon
as the ammunition was exhausted,
preferring to die rather than to sur
render. Just as they charged, the first
sight and the little command was saw
ed.
The experience gained in the battle
of Kiu Leng Cheng win prove very
valuable. For instance, 1t has been
found that common explosive shells are
sian casualties from the former far ex-
ceeded the latter. The value of con-
centrated fire was demonstrated be-
yond cayil, the Russian officers declar-
ing that constant explosions had a Sc
rious effect on the efficiency of their
troops.
The Russians had one great oppor-
tunity of which they failed to take
On the night Of April 20,
one division of the Japanese army was
on the north side Of the river and to-
tally separated from the other two di-
visions Had the Russians held their
position on Tiger Hill and attacked
the Japanese from the west they might
have wiped out this division before re-
inIorcements could arrive. But they
failed, and the next day the Japanese
had pushed another division across the
river.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 1.-Prof.
II. L. Bollcy, connected with the agri-
cultural college at Fargo, was in the city
yesterday for the purpose of estimating
yields from number of samples gath
cred in many sections of the state by
Business house of the city.
In the collection there was some good
wheat, and much of it was very inferior.
The late wheat is turning out poorer
than was expected and as much of it is
green there is no way of estimating the
yield. The best wheat in the state, Mr..
Bolley claims. lies north of line drawn
from Lakota to Minot
Urged for an estimate on the entire
acreage Of the state Professor BolIey
vcntured the assertion that it would go
from 9 to II bushels OH an average, bas-
ing the estimate on the wheat acreage,
which is much larger this year than for
many years past
Mr.. Bollcy is in a position to give the
crop the best possible estimate, as he has
visited practically every section of the
state and has without question inspected
more wheat than any expert who has
visited the state this year. -
