LOSSES IN PRAIRIE COUNTRY.
Stock Losses Will Be Heavy In the
Open Country,

open Country.
Medora, N. D., April 2.-News from
the ranges is coming in telling Of
heavy losses of cattle and sheep, in the
late severe storm. Much of the STOCK
was in poor flesh, having passed q
long severe winter; the owners de.
pending upon the ranges for feed.
The opeH winters for the past ter
years have made the stockmen care
less, and they did not put up the
hay they should. Sheep losses will
be greater than cattle. In the Ba6
Lands cattle losses will be light, but
in the open prairie country, they will
be heavy.

Russia Suspects Brit
ain of a Breach
of Faith.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25.-For-
eign Minister Count Lamsdorff has, II
is announced, wired Instructions to
Count Benckendorff, the Russian En-
bassador to Great Britain, to confer
with Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
with a view OF modification of the
Anglo-Tibetan treaty, which has not
yet been ratified by China. Count
Benckendorff is authorized by these
instructions TO lodge d strong protest
if Great Britain refuses to consider
Russia's objections to the treaty,
which, it is understood, refers exclu-
sively to article TX of the draft of the
convention.
PARIS, Sept. %. - Information
reaching the highest quarters here in
dicates that Russia Will probably re-
quest Great Britain for a protocol de-
nning British intentions in Tibet 1t
is confirmed that Great Britain and
Russia had written understandings
relative 10 the British expedition at
Tibet. II was at first supposed that
the recent British-Tibetan treaty car
ried out this understanding, but the
publication Of the text of the treaty
leads TO the belief in Russian official
circles tina Great Britain seeks poll
teal foothold beyond the terms of the
understanding. Therefore representa-
tions have been made with the view or
securing a protocol exactly defining
and limiting the British sphere. This
is expected to be accomplished by an
amicable exchange of notes, not in
vOlving a renewal of the Anglo Rus.

BOULDER CREEK, Sept 25.-Thls
place was visited by most destructive
storm early this morning. Thunder
roared and lightning blasted and
cyclonic wind stripped all the fruit
from the trees and nearly ruined the
grape crop. The rain fell in torrents,
the rain gauge measuring LILO inches
for one hours downpour. The
vineyardists will be heavy losers. The
apple crop is practically destroyed.
MERGED, Sept. 25.-The precipita-
ton for the storm is two inches. The
greatest damage in this section was
done to the dry feed. There was no
exposed grain.
Grapes on the vine will not be
greatly damaged if no more rain falls.
Considerable drying fruit was spoiled,
but the greater part Of the crop had
been disposed of. Beans, which are
grown to only a small extent, are bad
ly damaged. Alfalfa hay in the field
suffered somewhat, and fig growers
are heavy losers.
SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 25.-The
heaviest September rainstOrm on rec
ord and one of the heaYiest that ever
visited Santa Barbara County ended
this morning. The rainfall in this
city, according TO various registers,
was from $40 to $50 inches. This
was the heaviest reported from any
point in the county, though at many
other places the precipitation amount
co 10 six inches or more, and no place
reports less than four inches
1t is believed much damage to beans
Will result from the excessive rainfall.
Almost the entire crop was living n
the fields in this and Ventura counties
awaiting the thrashers. The extent of
the damage cannot be stated at this
time. Should clearing weather follow,
as now seems likely, the danger of
less will be lessened.
Los ANGELES, Sept. 25.-Twenty-
three hundredths of an inch of rain
fell in this city early this morning

STOCKTON, Sept. 25.-Whatever

of their crop was dissipated to-day.
During the night there was terrific
downpour, and this afternoon the
fioodgates of heaven were again
opened. Rain. accompanied by thun-
der and lightning, fairly poured down.
There was some hope that clearing
weather would give the. growers a
chance to harvest some small portion
of their beans and table grapes, but
with half the crop of grapes still to
harvest and all the beans, there ap-
pears TO be a total loss. 1t is be-
lieved that even wine grapes will be
damaged. 1t is estimated that the
loss will reach half a million do IS

Japan Now Realizes
the Magnitude of
Her Task
Confident, However,
of Final Triumph
Over Russia.

TOXIC, Sept. 25.-An increasing
feeling of sobriety and seriousness
marks the popular attitude toward the
war. 1t is doubtful that the masses
appreciated in the beginning the seri-
BUSINESS of the task of expelling Rus
sia from Manchuria. They had an
easy confidence in the ability of the
army and navy to reduce the fortress
of Port Arthur, destroy the Russian
fleet and crush General Kuropatkin.
The prolongation of the siege, the
losses before Port Arthur and General
kuropatkin's escape at Liaoyang have
brought general appreciation of the
magnitude of the national task and dis
sipated the growing hopes of an early
peace, based on the confidence Of
sweeping victories.
Events at Port Arthur and Liaoyang
have impressively warned the Japanese
people to prepare for a long and try
ing war. Confidence in the final out
come, however. remains unshaken and
the nation has resolutely and deter
minedly settled down, prepared to
make sacrifices and pay the price that
success demands.
The strain of war and the drain
upon the country's resources have not
yet been felt to any extent among the
people. Some lines of business are suf-
fering, but the aggregate foreign and
domestic trade exceeds that of 1908.
The crops, particularly rice, are the
largest ever grown. Death from
wounds and sickness has overtaken
thousands of soldiers, but their vacant
places have been quickly filled. The
supply of able-bodied men anxious to
fight equals all possible demands. Mu-
nitions supplies and money in hand
indicate the ability of the country 70
wage war without embarrassment and
vigorously for another year. The COM
pietion during the winter of a light
railway between Antung and Liaoyang
will give the army three lines of sup
plies.
There is general confidence in the
ability of Field Marshal Marquis
Oyama to drive General Kuropatkin
into Harbin and to successfully resist
a reinvasion of Manchuria. The early
possession of Port Arthur also is con-
fidently expected.
There is no gloom among the people
They are simply sobered in the face of
the great and unfinished task.

GRIPPENBERG's WAR RECORD.
Won His First Commission i'm the De-
fense of Sebastopol.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25.-Gen-
eral Grippenberg. commander of the
second army, is ten years older than
General Kuropatlxin, but ranks three
numbers lower in the list of generals.
General Grippenberg is a Lutheran in
religion. He is married and has three
children. One son, a captain of artil-
lery, was wounded in the battle of
Liaoyang.
General Grippenberg was educated at
home and passed through no military
school. He won his first commission
while fighting in defense of Sebastopol
campaigns in Turkestan in 1863 and
1868, where he won the st. George
cross and was promoted to aicaptain-
cy. He was severely wounded in this
campaign. He went into the Turkish
war as a colonel and as a reward for
his service was appointed aide-de-
camp to the Emperor. He again won
the st. George cross and was promoted
to the rank Of major general. He be-
came a lieutenant general in 1890, a
general of infantry in 1901, and re-
Gently was appointed general aide-de-
camp to the Emperor.
While General Grippenberg's distin-
guished war record is sufficient to ex-
plain the appointment. it is believed
that Prince Sviatopolk-M Mirsky's rec
ommendation did a great deal in that
direction. The Prince and General
Grippenberg served several years in
wilma, the former as Governor General
and the latter as commander-in-chief
of the troops there. The appointment
is none the less surprise.

SENATOR HOAR
FAST SINKING

WORCESTER, Mass Sept. 25.-The
family of Senator George F. Hoar, who
has been dangerously i'll for several
weeks, tonight issued a bulletin show
ing that the Senator is gradually sue
cumbing to the effects Of his long ill
ness. Only the immediate members of
the Senator's family are admitted to
the sick chamber and he spends most
of his time asleep. The bulletin reads:
Senator Hoar has been weaker since
Friday, passing most of his time in
sleep and refusing to take his medicine
or nourishment. If this condition does
not improve it will have a serious ef-
feet upon his little remaining strength.
If the condition continues he may last

RELATIVES AWAIT END
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 25.-Walter 8.
Melick, secretary Of the State Board OF
Examiners, is reported dying in a san
atorium at Santa Rosa. His aged
mother is lying at the point of death
at her home on North Workman street,
this city. Clyde Melick OF Carpenteria,
only brother of Walter. has been sum
moned to his mothers bedside. He
stated tonight that he had little hope
or the recovery OF either his mother
or his brother.
Mrs. Melick was stricken with paral-
ysis about two years ago and has been
deprived OF the power of speech ever
since. Lately she has been subject to
spells Of heart failure. 1t became ap-
parent several days ago that Mrs. Me-
lick's end was near. so her son at Car
penteria was sent for. He arrived last
Friday and with his father has been
at her bedside ever since.
Several weeks ago Secretary Melick
had a severe attack of intestinal trOu-
BILE. The Sacramento physicians prac-
tically gave up his case as hopeless
and ordered him sent 10 the Santa
Rosa sanatOrium. To-day Clyde Melick
called up Santa Rosa by telephone and
requested that Walter be informed
that his mother was dying. The hos
pital attendants replied that Walter
himself was in such a precarious con-
dition that it was not deemed safe
TO impart to him the sad news from
Los Angeles.
1t is now feared that the mother and
son may pass away together or that
the one will not survive the other very
long.

now threatened from new quarter,
as we'll as from Palichuang.
At 5 O'Clock on the afternoon of the
goth the Japanese captured a supple
mentary fort, which from the lower
ground threatens the fort on Itz Noun
tain. This ended the heavy fighting for
that day, although the Japanese later
were compelled to resist several sorties.
During the night the heavy lombard
ment of the Russian positions contin-
ued. the Japanese fire being directed
with particular vigor against another
supplementary fort 5000 yards to the
west of the fort on Itz Mountain and
regarded as highly important because
of it's bearing on the Itz and Anshu
Mountain forts. The next day, after
having pounded this position unmerci-
fully, and until it's fire had slackened
visibly, the Japanese delivered their
assault They met with stubborn re-
sistance. They were exposed to the
fire of machine guns and rifles, and
they made frantic efforts to reach the
crest of the slope. They leaped over
trenches and embankments and tore
down the entanglements in their path
until at length they entered the fort.
The Russian troops there refused to
desert their position, even in the face
Of the superior numbers which con-
fronted them, and desperate hand-to-
hand fighting occurred inside the fort.
Eventually almost the entire Russian
garrison was either killed or wounded.
Military experts here are of the opin-
ion that if the Japanese capture either

GRIPPENBERG's SELECTION.
Gar Sends Autograph Letter to the
Veteran Of the Crimea.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25.-The
sensation Of the day is the publication
OF an imperial ukase, i'm which the
Emperor announces that, as the Jap
anese have shown such unexpected
fighting powers, it is necessary for
Russia to create a second army, the
command of which he gives to Gen.
eral Grippenberg, man of immense
experience ard exceedingly active, i'll
spite OF his sc years. He is at present
the commander of the Wilma district.
This deDoses General Kuropatkin
from the position of commander-in-
chief for in the future he ranks on an
equal footing with General Grippen-
berg.
General Kuroki is again displaying
great activity. endeavoring to circle
around the Russian left flank ana
threaten the line of retreat, in the
meantime avoiding carefully the pre-
pared Russian defenses. Having crossed
the Hun River. much higher up thai
the Fushan ford. he is taking a direct
line TO Tie Pass. His intention is to
repeat his Liaoyang tactics. There is
some delay in this forward move
ment, owing to the extensive prepa-
rations necessary in trying once again
to force a decisive battle.
To Generals Meyerdorff and Bilder
ling has been confided the responsible
ity of stopping General Kuroki. AS
General Meyerdorn commands the
troops from the ST. Petersburg district,
the keenest interest is felt here as to
the results.
The Japanese are throwing up strong
intrenchment at Bentsiaputze and are
massing troops there, showing the
great importance they attach to the
protection of their right flank against
the masses of Russian cavalry, which
were sent out to guard against any
surprises on the part Of the japanese.
II has been learned that the torpedo
boat destroyer Ryeshitelni sank while
being towed away by the Japanese, a
fact that causes great rejoicing in the
navy.
