gave battle in the Sybel pass July II
to a superior force of Japanese. The
engagement resulted in the retirement
of the Russians with the loss of an Off

SERIOUS SHOOTING ARRAY
Two Policemen Wounded by Thugs at
Bonesteel, S. D.-Report of
Pitched Battle.

Bonesteel, S. D., July 25.-After an ex-
tremely quiet day and night, serious
shooting ARRAY took place about four
o'clock Saturday morning. Sylvester
G. Harrison, of Wichita, and man
named Stansbrough, two special police
men, were shot by gang of thugs in
front of a saloon. Harrison was shot
in the forehead, and at first it was
thought his wound would prove fatal,
but later it was said he was resting cas-
lily, and it is now hoped he will re-
cover. Stansbrough's wound was in
the leg, and will not result seriously.
Harrison, who is about "a years of age,
who claims that the young man is in
good financial circumstances. Being a
lover of excitement, he at once joined
the police force, and had been on duty
but short time when he was shot. The
men who did the shooting ran around
cape in the darkness, and have not yet
been apprehended. A vigilance COM
mittee was at once formed and began
rounding up Objectionable characters
of the town. The station house is full,
and arrests are being made every few
minutes. 1t is reported that pitched
battle occurred at sod house a mile
east of town, in which dozen or Is shots
were exchanged, but the details are
not yet obtained.
Information of a definite character is
hard to secure. All sorts of rumors, how
ever, are current. The saloon where
the shooting occurred was the scene Of
another ARRAY night or so ago, and it
has been closed by the authorities.

TRADE PROSPECTSARE GOOD
LEADING AGENCIES GIVE FA-
voRABLE REPORTS.
Encouraging Factors Said to FREEDOM
inate-Crop Prospects Re-
ported Brighter.

New York, July 25-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Encouraging factors predominant.
Little definite increase is seen in the
distribution of merchandise, but devel-
opments of the past week promise bet
ter things in the near future. The
most important influence for good is
brighter crop prospect. For the pres
ent the best news comes from the
large cities, where warm weather has
stimulated retail trade in light weight
fabrics, and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are bet
ter than from manufacturing centers.
There are still many complaints of slow
collections. In the principal manufac-
turing branches there is still much idle
machinery, especially at cotton mills
and iron plants, while most window
glass producers will not resume until
September. Reports of railway earn
ings for July sosfar show only small
loss of 1.5 per cent. as compared with
the same period last year. 1t is graf
flying to note in dispatches from iron
and steel making centers that the de-
cline in quotations has ceased, and con-
sumers are making inquiries which
promise to result in considerable bust
ness.
Failures of the week numbered 213
in the United States, against 191 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared with
10 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "Good progress
by most crops strengthens belief in
favorable fall trade following the pres
ent season of comparative quiet and
inactivity. Among the industries quiet
ness and even dullness is still the fea-
ture, but rather more is doing in the
leather trade, foreshadowing later de-
velopments in the shoe business, and
the production of iron and steel is be-
ing steadily curtailed, with a resulting
firmer tone to pig iron prices Several
basic industries still show little ten
dency to revive. Notable among these
is soft coal mining, which is very much
depressed, and it is to be noted that
demand for anthracite coal is not so
active as heretofore
