boys with them. The crowd was releas-
ed shortly after being detained by the
Japanese authorities.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

tBy special dispatch to Va. CITIZEN yesterday
A German officer at Mukden says
he regards an immediate battle as
improbable The positions of both
armies are so strong that neither is
likely to attack at present, because
an attack could not be successful
unless surprise were effected.
A Russian torpedo boat escaped
yesterday from Port Arthur and
went to Chefu, China, where she was
blown up to prevent capture by the
Japs. 1t is reported that the few
remaining boats at Port Arthur also
escaped and eluded Togo's fleet.
Port Arthur is tottering. The
Russian garrison want to surrender
but are kept at their posts at the
point of officers revolvers. Stoessel
is wounded, and in the hospital, but
continues to direct his troops, aud
has ordered them to die rather than
surrender. Mrs. Stoessel is with
him. She says that supplies are not
lacking.

There was little damage, except to

barometers for hours previous were
lower than for years.

SOME TALK ON CROPS.

1904 has been q record breaker in
crops as we'll as in election results
the one undoubtedly helping the
latter.
Most of the farmers of the North
ern Neck have finished shocking
corn aud sowing wheat. The yield
of corn was far above the average,
being larger than was expected. A
much larger wheat crop has been
sown than usual, owing to the high
price of the grain.
An Irish potato a foot long, and
proportionately rotund, is the prize
potato of Washington State this
year. One man has grown rich
there trucking on three acres. One
years crop of celery, cabbage and let
tuce paid him $2,385-two crops of
celery were raised in one year. One
acre alone produced 1860 nine
pound heads of cabbage.
From time immemorial il has
been the custom among Northern
Neckers to judge the winter accord
ing to the "mast" in the fall of the
year. A heavy "mast" is q never
failing sign of a severe winter.
Along with this the fall has been
one of the gentlest and mildest for
many a year, so one is led TO predict
that the coming winter will be one
of the hardest aud most severe of
recent years. Entwined around the
bushes aud fences skirting the green
pine woods for miles are the small
grape vines, loaded to their fullest
with rich, ripe fruit, recently sweetly
sweetened by old "Jack Frost" The
branches of the persimmon trees are
bowed nearly to the ground. The
oak and chestnut were but a few
weeks ago loaded with acorns and
nnts, and hickory trees are still
crowded with nuts. In accordance
with the above prediction, the farm
ers and country people generally are
busily preparing for severe winter.
The directors of the Eastern
Shore Of Virginia Produce Exchange
have declared dividend of 10 per-
cent on the capital stock which now
amounts to little over $4,000
The Exchange is an organization of
about $500 successful farmers of
the counties of Accomac and North
ampton, Its central office is at Oh
ney, on the N. Y, p. & N. Il. r.,
and up to November ! the organiza-
ton had handled 2,499 cars Of sweet
potatoes and 1895 cars of Irish pota-
toes, doing business of nearly
$4,000, 1000 In the year of 1904. The
number Of cars handled last year,
with 100 barrels to an average car,
was 1,947 cars Of sweet potatoes and
i ,125 cars of Irish potatoes, with a
business of over $1,500,000. The
Exchange also sells thousands of
quarts of Strawberries and baskets of
peas and onions. IL has local organ
izations at all the so principal ship
ping points on the bay side and rail-
road, and local inspectors examine
and brand the produce according to
its merits. The local agents then
send 10 manifest to the central Office
which distributes the product so as
not TO overstock any one market.
The Exchange spends $4,000 every
year in kilograms regarding crops,
markets and prices.

have to fight until the last inch of
ground has been occupied.
Both armies are tunnelling. The
japanese lost !, 900 men in the latest
assault, but carried and hold some
meats and forts.
In one of the former desperate
assaults out of 2,?O0 effective men
the Japs lost $500. Only ak
officers snd 200 men came back from
one of the most terrible struggles in
the history of war. Such fighting
as this is dishesrtening to the most
stubborn antagonists which any
army can encounter. 1t reveals a
willingness literally to conquer or
die, which is appalling to officers
commanding opposing forces.
Several ships carrying supplies to
the Russian garrison recently ran
the blockade.
1t is reported that a Japanese
man-of-war has been sunk by mine
off Port Arthur.
