MONTANA NEEDS MOISTURE.
Unless Rain Soon Comes, Loss OF
Stock Will Be Great.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 8.-Advices re-
ceived from throughout the state the
past week depict serious state OF
affairs on the big ranges in Eastern and
Northern Montana, and unless heavy
rain is soon forthcoming considerable
lose of stock will ensue. The Northern
Montana ranges in many localities re-
semble a desert, former watering holes
and springs being dry and pa1ched.
Many OF the ranges have had to be
abandoned and the stock driven long
distances for water. So bad have the
conditions become that the state hu-
name officers have interfered and COM
PEELED stockmen to drive herds into To-
calities far removed, where some grass
and water still remain, though even
then the supply is scanty.
Stock shipments have been almost
entirely suspended as result of the
strike of the packing house employees,
and the thousands of head of cattle
roaming the plains which could other
wise have been shipped East make the
problem of caring for the animals one
of extreme seriousness. While the
Eastern Montana ranges still bear con-
siderable grass, those in the Northern
section of the state are in many in
stances almost devoid of feed.

FILL ALL ORDERS.
Chicago Packers Say Plants are
Doing Well.

Chicago, Aug. Elm a statement
given out tonight by the packers, the
report that negotiations are in progress
to bring about another conference be-
tween the packers and the labor lead
ers is declared to be unfounded. The
packers assert that there is not the
slightest possibility of further confer
ences with the strikers.
According to this statement, the pro-
gress making at the plants is satisfac-
tory to all the packers; more men are
employed daily; all contracts and cur
rent orders are filled and there is a
normal supply of beef, mutton and
provisions at all plants in the United
States. while sales are made at lower
prices than before the strike began.
In table accompanying the state
ment it is shown that the total number
of men at work tonight at all points is
more than $4,000. With this number
of men at work the packers say they
shipped s31 carloads of fresh meats
from all points yesterday.
Beyond trying to enforce the order
forbiddng the delivery of ice to retail
ers who have been hauling meat from
the stockyards themselves since the
teamsters' strike, the strikers did little
today. UP to date tha ice supply of
100 retail markets has been cut off.

FOODSTUFFS NOT CONTRABAND.
United States Will Not Recede From
Position Once Taken.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state de-
partment is in telegraphic communica-
tion with its agencies abroad respecting
the Russian seizures and destruction of
American goods, but it is not yet ready
to define precisely its position as to the
whole subject of seizures. These ex-
changes are not confined to St. Peters
burg and Washington, but are in
tended to develop the purposes of the
governments of other nations, and par
ticularly of Great Britain and Ger
many, whose shipping has suffered
more than that of any other. 1t is
said here that the precedents already
esta blished in the Spanish and Boer
wars, as we'll as in the operations in
China during the black flag uprising,
have worked so satisfactorily and have
received such universal approval that
under no circumstances will America
now recede from the doctrine that food
stuffs not directly intended for the use
of belligerant army or navy cannot
be regarded as contra band.

FORESTS BURN
Great Damage Throughout
Montana by Fire.
IDAHO TIMBER SUFFERS ALSO
Homes of Settlers DESTROYED and
and Many People Have Narrow
Escapes with Their Lives.

Butte, Mont, Aug. S.-A Kalispell
special to the Miner says: Forest fires
aie still raging with unabated fury in
the timber lands of this county and
from all reports received thus fa1, the
damage will run into the thousands OF
dollars. Small holders of timber lands
are the chief sufferers. They are not
only losing their timber but their cab
ins and home buildings az we'll as their
stock of provisions, hay and grain are
being rapidly consumed. Their condi-
tion in many instances will be deplora-
BILE. The fires are not only confined to
the forests surrounding this city, but
the finest lumber sections in Northern
Montana are suffering. The thickly-
wooded sections about Sterling, Atlanta
and Fisher river are burning, as we'll
as the timber west of Libby and be
tween Troy and Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
About half dozen frame buildings
on the outskirts of White Fish have
been burned. Several buildings be-
longing to rancher named Hoffman
near 10y also have been destroyed. The
sawmiIl of Baker Bros, was burned.
The people living in the timbered Sec
tlons are all fighting the fire, but are
almost powerless to check its advances.
Much hay between White Fish and
Columbia Falls has been burned, as
well as all meadow land in the section
where the fires are raging.
Fires raging in North Fork of Flat
head river country are doing much
damage to the timbe, in the Flathead
forest reservation, and people returning
from that section report that the dis
tance around the fires at that point at
present exceeds Is miles.
A White Fish report says the timber
is on fire on both sides of the county
wagon road and it was with difficulty a
courier was able to urge his horses
through. having a narrow escape from
the fire. The roads are now said to be
utterly impossible.
The fire at Bolton was extinguished
this week after it had done great dam
age to the timber, but at Colam and in
that vicinity it is still eating its way
through the heavy forests.
A forest fire in the Crazy mountains,
20 miles north of Big Timber. has done
considerable damage in the last few
days. The fire started Sunday and has
gradually increased until it has burned
over large stretch OF heavily wooded
country. Among the timber burned
is some of the most valuable in that
district.

SURROUNDED ON THREE SIDES.
kuropatkin Must Move West or
Surrender.

Niu Chwang, Aug. 5.-The report
that Haicheng has fallen is premature.
The Russian troops have only been
driven back to their inner intrench-
ments, which they now occupy with
over rs 900 men. A detachment of
1000 Japanese, with large supply
trains, is leaving here for Haicheng,
where the greatest battle of the war is
expected to open tomorrow.
General Kuroki, with 1000 men,
is now behind the Russian forces; Cen
eral Oku, with an army of 900 men,
is on their front, while fanking them
on the left is General Nodzu, with his
division of 900 men.
If General Kuropatkin is defeated in
this battle, he must either move west
ward or surrender.
The foreign military attaches are with
the second army on the, way for the
front to witness the battle.
The Russian troops at Port Arthur
have been driven back to the last line
of their defenses. Tne Japanese at
tacking force has $50 guns in action.

FORTS HOLD OUT.
Charging japanese Driven Back at
Port Arthur.

Charging japanese Driven Back at
Port Arthur.
| Chefoo, Aug. A desperate three
days assault on the inner defenses, on
the northern and eastern sides of Port
Arthur, has failed, according to advices
brought by two junks which arrived
here today.
A Russian who escaped from Port
Arthur via Pigeon Bay, the night OF
July 20, states that the earth trembled
under the terrific cannonading which
began at 4 a. M, July 26, and ended
during the night of July 20, when the
the battle ceased.
A Chinese who has arrived here on
separate junk confirms the Russians
statement that the Russian killed and
wounded during the assault numbered
between 5 900 and 5000.
The japanese in their repeated as
saults against the eastern forts on the
hills, through barbed wire entangle-
ments and over mines, displayed fanati-
cal bravery. They were moved down
by the hail of shells and bullets and
the explosion of mines under their feet.
Their losses are estimated at 10000.
The Russian declares that the Rus
slams held all the eastern forts leading
to Golden Hill and that the Japanese,
shattered and exhausted, retired to the
eastward.
As related by the passengers of the
two junks, the Japanese advance, which
began from Kwokau before daybreak,
July 26, was directed against Kikwan,
Kinkiun, Kinkishan and Pchoushan
forts, lying near shore. The Russian
outposts were driven back. In the
meantime Admiral Togo shelled the
forts at long range. but the return fire
of the forts kept his ships at safe dis
tance. rendering the cooperation of the
feet Ineffective.
On the morning of July p, the Rue-
sian feet steamed eat,> keeping under
the protection of the Golden Hill guns.
The Russian vessels did not fire on the
Japanese and soon returned to their
anchorage.
The assault on the northern side of
the city occurred July 27. The Japan
ese lett at Hsikau advanced on the
Russians at IShinshi Ying, but were
repulsed.
The junks were within hearing dis
tance for three days after leaving, but
no more firing was. heard.
The Russian hospitals at Port Arthur
are said to be swamped. Thousands
of wounded are lying in houses and
shops of the Chinese, the owners having
been evicted, with the exception of
one who acts as caretaker of each place.
Medical attention is inadequate.
