ESCAPED FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Torpedo Boat Destroyer at
New ChWanu.

New Chwang, July 1.-The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Lieutenant Ru-
"ukoff arrived here from Port Arthur
yesterday evening and is berthed
alongside the gun boat Sivouch. The,
river bank was soon crowded with
excited natives, who were told by the.
Russians that the Japanese fleet had
been completely destroyed. &
The otrlcers of the Lieutenant Bu-
rukoff tell several stories. One is
that Admiral Togo's report of the,
fighting was exaggerated, and that
the Russians have made two cruises
in the Gulf of Pechili in five days. An
other story is that the Port Arthur
feet has Joined the Vladivostok squa-
dron.
The correspondent of The Associ-
ated Press sent a messenger who
speaks Russian to the side of the des-
troyer, but the Russian sailors would
not talk except to say that they left
Port Arthur Tuesday night Every
inch of the boat was crowded with
men. She had the appearance OF
having been in general engagement,
her big gun having been shot away
and 1t looked as IL she had rescued
many men. The Lieutenant Buru-
koff is one of the torpedo boat des-
troyers taken from the Chinese at
Taku in 1900, The general belief
here is that she ran Admiral Togo's
blockade and came here with dispat-
ches for the army and for st. Peters
burg. This is quite natural, as two
Cossack officers, were on board
Cronstadt, June 30.-The Russian

De3 Moines, July John Cownie,
of the board of control, is enthusiast
tic over what is being done, at the
state farms, after visiting those in
the south part of the state.
'At Mt. Pleasant hospital they had
most of the female patients out pick
ing strawberries, said he, land they
said they brought in 799 quarts one
day | thought that was pretty good
and l told it at Clarinda. But they
produced the records and showed
that the day before they had gathered
2,174 quarts from the farm at Clar-
india. That was doing business. The
steward had given the farm credit
for 10000 quarts of strawberries and
there were 5000 more quarts on the
vines.
And as for cherries, the trees are
full of them. They had the men pa
tients out in the trees in the forenoon
and the women in the afternoon aad
they were eating, canning and making
pies. Everybody had cherries and
strawberries at Clarinda and Glen
wood.
But at Mt. Pleasant they do busl-
ness with the hogs. While | was
there we sold 1853 head of hogs to
Morrell, of Ottumwa, for 5 cents a
pound, bringing us over $4,000, which
will go to the credit of the support
fund. There are $50 more fattening
for August market and there are 700
more head on the farm. l consider
that pretty good, considering that
when we took hold they had only
16 head and said they could not raise
hogs.
Corn on all the state farms is
fine. We have the very best stand of
corn to be found in the state. They
have new potatoes also and the pota-
tn crOn will he good "
