thur, But Alexieff Opposes It,

Paris, May ia Temps Vienna
dispatch says information received
there shows the conflict between Vice
roy AleXieff and Gen. Kuropatkin is
acute. The latter attributes the Rus
sian defeat on the Yalu river to Alex
ieff's orders countermanding his pre-
viously given instructions.
Kuropatkin, according to the dis
patch, now proposes abandonment of
Port Arthur and the junction of its
forces with his army. and the retire
ment of the united forces to Hardin.
maintaining that the present Russian
force Is not sufficient to cope with the
japanese.
AleXieff holds this course to be folly,
as abandonment Of Port Arthur would
mean the loss of the fleet, suffering of
moral defeat and risk Of determination
Of the Port Arthur force while seeking
to make q junction with Kuropatkin.
The emperor's encouragement tends to

able Progress In the Upper Mis-.

Valleys.

Washington, May 19.-Following is a
issued by the weather bureau:
The week, especially the latter part,
was much too cool in all the districts
east of the Rocky mountains, and, re-
spect1ng temperature, was less favor
able than the preceding week.
Light to heavy frosts occurred over
the northern portion of the central
valleys and the middle Atlantic states
and in the lake region, with more or
less injury
Light local rains afforded relief over
limited areas in the south Atlantic and
east gulf states, but the greater part Of
these districts continues to need rain.
ana IN some sections the drought is Sc
we're.
Planting Is Delayed
The week also was too cool on the
north Pacific coast, but there was am
pie heat in California. While corn
planting has been delayed in portions
OF Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, this
work as whole has made favora BILE
progress In the states of the Missouri
ana upper Mississippi valleys and has
proceeded uninterruptedly in the Ohio
valley Planting Is in progress in the
Dakotas, Wisconsin and New York. In
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri the
advancement Of winter wheat has been
favorable and an Improvement is gen
orally reported elsewhere east of the
Rocky mountains, but condition of the
crop in the states of the Ohio valley
continues very poor.
Heavy rains prevented completion
of the spring wheat seeding in portions
OF North Dakota and northern Mime
sofa, but seeding is practically com
pleted elsewhere. Early sown wheat
is coming up and growing nicely in the
Dakotas and southern Minnesota, but
variable conditions are reported from
iowa.
With the exception OF variable con-
dltions In Iowa and unpromising in
Missouri. the general outlook for oats
In the principal oat producing states
Is good.
