WEATHER RETARDS CROPS.
Heavy Rains In the South-Conditions 10 the
Corn Belt.

Washington, ID. c. (SpeciaD The
weather Bureaus weekly summary of
crop conditions is as follows:
Although cool weather has pre-
vented rapid development of corn in
the Ohio valley ami Lake region, the
crops, as a whole, has experienced de-
cided Improvements. Much OF that
prostrated by winds in the previous
week in Indiana and Illinois is
Strengthening. In the Missouri val
ley the temperature has been more
favorable, and the advancement of
the crop toward maturity has been
much more rapid than in the Cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Early corn has already matured in
Southern Missouri, and is ripening
rapidly in Nebraska and South Da-
kota, cutting being in process in the
first-name State and in Kansas. The
reports indicate that from three to
four weeks OF favorable weather will
be required to mature the late crop.
The week was practically rainless
in the spring-wheat region of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, affording IA
vorable weather for harvesting and
thrashing. Some early wheat in the
northern portion of North Dakota is
yet unripe, and rust is still damaging
late wheat in that State, and much
OF the crop will not be cut. Disap-
pointing yields are generally reported
from Idaho, Warrington and Oregon.
In Northern Alabama and in the
southern portions of Mississippi and
Louisiana cotton has improved. and
the crop is in good condition in Ok
lahoma and Indian Territories, but
elsewhere the reports generally indi-
cate unfavorable progress. Deteriora-
ton from rust and shedding is re-
ported from nearly all districts. Heavy
rains have proved injurious in portions
of Florida and Georgia, while over a
large part Of Texas the crop has suf-
fered decidedly from drought. In the
State boil worms con-
puncturing nearly all squares in south
western, central, eastern and coast di-
visions, and are causing much dam

A general improvement in tobacco
is indicated. Cutting is we'll advanced
in the Middle Atlantic States and New
England and is in progress in the
Ohio valley.
In Wisconsin the crop is doing we'll,
although maturing slowly.
The outlook for apples continues
promising in New England, New York

favorable reports continue from the

IA PERISH IN A FIRE
The Victims We're Mostly Women and
Children.
TENEMENT HOUSE A DEATH TRAP.
The Male Occupants We're on the Roof and
Leaped to Nclshboring Houses-Women
and Children Found Their Egress Cut Off,
Repairing Being In Progress 10 the Lower
Part OF the House,

New York (SpeciaD Fourteen per-
sons were killed and nearly score
injured in fire in a fve-story double
tenement in Attorney street at an
early hour in the morning. 1t was
one OF the worst fires in the loss OF
human lives that has occurred on
the East Side in several years, al
though the properly loss was slight.
The dead include four women, one
man and nine children, ranging in age
from months to II years.
Many of the injured were taken TO
hospitals, and it is thought that sew
eral OF these will die. Among the
injured were FIVE fremen, who were
on a fourth floor balcony, when it fell
with them.
The small number of men among
the killed and injured was due to the
fact that most of the men who lived in
the building, following the Attorney
street custom in hot weather, were
asleep on the roof, while but few OF
the women and children were there
Those on the roof were unable to es-
cape by descending through the burn
ing building, and made their way to
safety over neighboring roofs. Mean
while the members Of their families
who had remained in their rooms
found escape cut off, and panic reigned
throughout the structure.
The fire started about 3 o'clock in
the morning, and there was consid-
cradle delay in sending in an alarm,
although the district is one Of the
most thickly populated in the crowded
East Side OF New York.
When the flremen reached the scene
some of the tenants were jumping
from the windows and from the ends
Of FIRE escapes that reached only TO
the second floor; others were crouch
ing in the smoke in the small rooms
and narrow halls. Several ambulances
were called, and the surgeons were
kept busy caring for the injured.
A number OF daring rescues were
made by hremen and police, and the
conditions under which they worked
were unusual and difficult The loss
OF life was due chiefly to the fact that
alterations were being made in the
tenement building. The basement and
the first floor, the latter about six feet
above the sidewalk level, had both
been cut through. the front and rear
walls having been removed, and the
upper floors being supported by steel
beams. The exit from the upper floors
was by way Of a small stepladder.
The FIRE is supposed to have been
caused by the explosion of lamp that
had been left to light the hall on the
second floor and the sleeping tenants
were not aroused until the hallway
was ablaze and escape through the
building cut off
The FIRE was soon extingushed and
the search for the dead began Police
reserves had been called out and with
difficulty kept back the crowd that
had gathered from the densely popu-
lated neighborhood while the bodies
were being brought down to the street.
Most OF the dead were found on the
two upper floors.

a private dispatch received here re-

Liaoyang. This statement is not con.

The fires are believed to result from

Japanese.
The opinion that the Russian casual.

quarters here. Neither Field Marshal
Oyama nor the Japanese army COM
manders have yet estimated the Rus

Liaoyang and Its Fortifca atoms.

In abandoning Liaoyang General
Kuropatkin has certainly given up a
formidable position, so far as fortif-
cations are concerned. The works
around :hc city were said to be mar
vels OF engineering skill, with gal
leries for the protection OF the gun
ncrs connected by telephone and de-
Tended by wire entanglements and
mines.
In his has,y retreat from Liaoyang
General Kuropatkin must certainly
have been forced to abandon valuable
stores and also the emplaced guns.
To abandon such position appears.

the Russian War Office, to have been

only made as a last resort, in the hope
Of preventing his army of 10000 men

No Mediation Now.

Berlin (By Cable).-The German
Foreign Office, taking note OF the
fresh assertions that the neutral pow
ers are comparing views with the OBJ
ject OF offering friendly mediation in
the war between Russia and Japan
says that such an idea is absurd at
this moment, as the Russian purpose
10 continue the war has been clearly
made known. All the governments
understood that Great Britain and
France, at some time agreed upon,
would offer to mediate when both
beligerents desired it. When that time
arrived naturally there was nothing
to preclude other neutral governments
from participating.
