RUSSIAN SHIP At FRISCO
United States Is to Inquire Into True
Objects Of the Visit


SAN FRANCISCO: The Russian
cruiser Lena Is lying at anchor off the
Union Iron Works. The boats com
mander stated that her boilers are IN
need Of repairs, and that some time
must elapse before she will be IN con.
ditiOn to go to sea.
AS yet nothing has been done to.
ward placing her In dry dock.
WASHINGTON: Secretary Nor
ton has telegraphed Rear Admiral
Goodrich, commander-in-chief of the
Pacific squadron at San Francisco and
to inquire of the commander OF the
Russian warship Lena what his inten.
tions are.
Admiral GOodrich's report of tine
presence of the Lena in San Francisco
harbor caused great stir In official
circles here. The entry of the ship was
entirely unexpected and was disa.
greeable event, for II had been hoped
by the officials that America would
escape being drawn into the necessity
OF making close decisions respecting
the rights of belligerenu vessels in our
ports.
The presence of the Russian trans.
port, so-called, In San Francisco har.
Dor involves the application of the
United States neutrality laws and 1t
was said at the state depart nent that
II was the duty under the president s
proclamation of. neutrality for the
treasury officials there. collector of
customs and surveyor of the port and
the United States district attorney in
San Francisco to take any action ne.
cessary In the matter. In other words,
the case is purely internal as It stan Is,
though It may become external at any
moment and thus require action by
the state department In event that
another nation, Japan for instance, of.
ficially calls attention TO the Lcna's
presence In San Francisco harbor.

SOME COTTON esTiMATgs. :.
Secretary Thoburn Figures THE

Secretary Thoburn Figures THE
Years Crop - Enormous
Oklahoma will have 100000 bales OF
cotton this year, according to the eSti'
mate of Secretary Thoburn OF the
board of agriculture. The acreage 10
81 per cent greater this year than lat
and the conditions have been better
than in 1903. Mr.. Thoburn is under
the impression, however, that the
present cool weather will not bo ad.
vantageous to the cotton crop. al.
though no serious detriment Is ey.
pected.
E. The prospects for the cotton crop
are the finest ever known in Okla.
homa. The vast increase in acreage
over last year, means that, with "a
vorabie weather, the territory will
have an enormous yield. Three hun.
dred thousand bales are equal to
150,O00.000 pounds. Last year OklahI.
ma raised 204,957 bales, or 93,294,5O
pounds, and In 1902 21S,39O bales, or
109.195,00O pounds. The acreage last
year exceeded that Of the preceding
year, but the yield was small. com.
pared with 1902. owing to the wet.
weather and other unfavorable condi.
tions. Greer county alone expects
to harvest 100000 balts this fall.
The smallest yield reported from
any one county last year was that of
Dewey, where there were only sixty.
eight bales. Cotton was planted in
nineteen Of the twenty-six counties,
Woods, Woodward, Grant, Garfield,
Kay and Noble counties not reporting.
1t is probable that there will be re-
ports from all counties this year,
since Woods, Woodward and Noble
are known to have q considerable
acreage this season.
The immense cotton crop Of Oklaho-
ma will! doubtless require much addi.
tional help in its handling. With
about 150.000.000 pounds to pick there
will be work until next spring.
Counting on sixty days of nice weath.
er, during which time farmers can
get into the fields tO pick, there will
have to be enough pickers to gather
2,60O,0OO pounds daily, and, consid.
ering 200 pounds an average days
picking, 1t will require 10000 pickers
to gather the crop. AT the rate OF Is
cents per 100 pounds for picking,
the farmers will pay out $1S,75O per
day to pickers, or $1,l35.5OO for the
season.

CHICAGO: Two savage attacke
were made upon non-union workers at
the stock yards, and in the fights that
followed eight peorle were injured,
four Of them SO severely that Il wa9
necessary to take them to hospitals.
The first disturbance occurred at the
intersection Of HaIstei and Root
street. Two young women, Annie

before the police arrived. They were
taken to the hospital. Mamie Jasper
was struck with brick and her face
and forehead were badly cut. The
mob remained at q short distance from
the car track and continued to throw
stones. A west bound car which hap
pened to pass during the trouble was
struck by several Of the missiles and
two Of the passengers, Fremont Sloan
and Annie Crodone, were injured. An.
ton Ashtura, a driver for q brewery,
tried to drive through the crowd and
was hit in the back OF the head with a
brick and knocked from his wagon.
His scalp was badly cut. but otherwise
his injuries were not severe.
A call for help had been sent in by
one of the officers and Lieutenant
Prim and six policemen soon arrived
and at once charged the crowd, which
scattered. Policeman Chris Lyons
was knocked down by a stone, but was
not badly hurt.
A second riot took place at Root
street near Princeton avenue, where
seven colored men, employed in the
stock yards, were attacked by a large
crowd Of sympathizers with the stock
yards strikers. John Sims, one of the
cOlored men, was knocked down and
nearly kicked to death. His knee cap
was broken, his jaw was broken and
was badly injured about other por.
tions of his head, and severely hurt in
the chest. The police finally dis
persed tine mob, and several arrests
were made.
