MCCORMICK WAS SILENT.
Ambassador Made a Mistake in Keep.
ina Hays Note From Russia.

WaShiTS toTf5 Aug. iS.-Ine puDilca-
tion of the circular by Secretary Hay
to the American ambassadors on June
10, defining the attitude OF the United
States pm ~contraband and rights OF
neutral ships. has demonstrated that
the sinking of the knight Commander
and the seizure of a. part of the cargo
of the Arabia by Russia with the re-
sultant strainde feeling between ST.
Petersburg and Washington. were the
result of the failure OF Ambassador Nc
Cormick TO carry out Mr.. Hays in
tentioris.
The circular was issued with the un-
Outstanding that it's contents would be
conveyed, officially OF unofficially, as
the conditions might warrant, to the
governments to which ambassadors are
accredited. No specific instructions to
hat effect were sent to the ambassa-
doris as 1t was supposed they would
know how to handle the matter.
Mr.. Choate at once Informed Great
Britain of this country's attitude. as
did all OF the other ambassadors except
Mr.. Mccormick. Even when Russia let
it be known that she would very much
like to know his country's position.
Mr.. Mccormick remained silent. Hav-
ing failed to secure a declaration from
the United States. Russia went abroad
with the raiding expeditions. which IL
is believed would have been prevented
had the foreign office at st. Petersburg
been Informed of Mr.. Hays circular.

LITTLE CAN BE LEARNED.
Captain of Russian Destroyer at Che
foo Declines to Explain Situation.

Cheefoo. Aug. 13.-The captain of the
R~yeshitelni, the Russian destroyer
which came here, does not deny that
the Russian warships have zone to join
the Vladivostok squadron. He simply
refuses TO answer questions on the sub
ject, claiming IL would be impropeg for
him to do SO. Other sources affirm alb
solutely that all the big ships except
the Bayan, which is injured, left Port
Arthur yesterday. exchanging shots
with the Japanese feet at long range.
and 1t seems likely the long expected
junction of the two Russian ~squadrons
will now occur Shortly after the ar
rival of the Ryeshitelni here the Chi
nese admiral sent an officer on board
Who demanded the destroyer either
leave the port or disarm. 1t had pre-
viously been asccrtained that her en-
gines were disabled. The captain of
the Ryeshitelni agreed to render his
engines absolutely useless. and to dis
arm In such as the admiral
should demand. The captain requested
the Chinese admiral to Indicate a posi-
ton nearer shore where the destroyer
might lie until the end OF the war. un-
der protection OF the Chinese govern
ment.
The passengers on the Ryeshiteini in
clude two one of whom Is said
TO be the wife OF General Stoessel. This
however is denied. 1t is evident that
grave reasons caused the R~yeshitelni
TO undertake her hazardous voyage.
Presumably she came here to file inn
portant and urgent dispatches.

GOING TO vLAplvosTok.
Such Was the Intent of Russian Fleet
if II Should Escape.


Vladivostok, Aug. 13.-Preparations
are being completed here for the recepA
ton of the Port Arthur squadron. The
departure of the squadron from Port
Arthur is generally interpreted to In
dictate that the siege of the fortress
is entering on the final stage.
The preservation of the squadron is
considered to be vital to Russia's fu-
ture plans, while II is acknowledged
that its departure will greatly weaken
the defensive power of the garrison.
yet without the capture OF the squad
ron the fall OF the fortress would be
robbed of much Of its strategic inn
p~ortance. The smaller ships are prob
ably left behind on account of their
slow speed and inadequate fighting
powers, while the torpedoboat destroy
ers would constitute a constant menace
to the Japanese fleet outside. Even IL
the squadron succeeds in getting
through the Japanese ships, it is real
lied that it runs a desperate risk in
trying TO reach Vladivostok as Togo's
fleet is larger and superior Of strength
and faster than the Russian squadron.
Besides the straits of Korea are under
stood to be mined and the squadron
will probably be compelled to take the
longer route around Japan.
1t is believed that the purpose of the
torpedoboat destroyer, ~Bryeshitelni in
going TO Chefoo was to notify Admiral
Skyrdlom of the sortie Of the Port Ar
thur squadron to meet it,

ENLARGINe CORN PALACE.
Association at Mitchell Planning to
Care for Large Crowds.

Mitchell, Aug. 1.-THE corn palace
committee held a meeting last night
and decided the details which they
would at once enter into TO enlarge
the building so it will seat several hum
bred more people. The indications now
are that this years corn palace gather
ing will exceed any of the former years
by thousands in numbers, during the
last week in September.
The special attractions which viii
draw this year over former ones is the
famous Sousa's band, which has a
world wide reputation of being one of
the best bands in the world, and the
further fact of the capital contest in
this state, which viii make citizens
very desirious of seeing the new three
story. granite stone city hall, costing
$55. 900. Another consideration that
will be a drawing card this year to the
Mitchell corn palace is the rne crops
in the eastern half of the state and the
knowledge that people of the north
west have of the fine display of cereal
products that the Mitchell corn palace
always furnishes through the aid of the
enterprising citizens in the corn belt of
South Dakota.

PORT ARTHUR A VERY HE'LL.
Prodigies of Vaior and Awful Losses
in Both Armies.

w DObT HiHtiSSs
Lao Yank, Aug. IA refugee from
Port Arthur, who has just arrived here,
says the defenders of the fortress re-
man all day at their posts in spite of
the dreadful heat, the women heroic
ally carrying water to the parched
soldiers. although not a single space
within the perimeter of the fortress is
free from bullets n bursting shells.
Sometimes the whole fortress seemed
enveloped in smoke from the countless
shells and explosions.
There was a memorable sight from
Wolf Hills when the Japanese attack
on the Russian positions there began
on July %. Five Japanese divisions
moved across the plain to assault, UNI
der the cover of their uns. The onset
was so desperate that 1T almost verged
on frenzy. Field Marshal Oyama, com-
manded the Japanese forces in person,
eran generals led the attacking forces,
giving examples of courage n re-
source previously u~nequalled.
The Japanese artillery had received
a fresh supply Of ammunition the pre-
yious evening and never before was
there such a terrific hail of projectiles.
But the efforts of the Japanese were
~unavailing against the determined
stand of the Russians, and the attack
was repulsed with enormous losses.
The refugees give the Russian losses
at 1900 and the Japanese at 10000.
After the battle General Stoessel or
dered out every available surgeon to
dress the jdpd1ese Out the
Russians were not able to bring them
into the fortress, where the problem OF
feeding non-combatants is too serious.
Consequently the Japanese wounded
were left on the field to be taken off
by their own people.
Chinese are crowding into Lao Yang
from the villages threatened with be-
coming involved with the approaching
battle.

MESSAGE FROM THE CAR.
Russian Emperor Urges Troops t.
Vigorously Defend Port Arthur.

Cheefoo, Aug. 13.-The latest Port Ar
thur newspaper received here reports
the receipt of a message from the 3
in which he says:
II hope my people will defend Port
Arthur with the bravery, determination
and loyalty worthy of h highest
traditions of the Russian RAGE. | trust.
the officers will exhort their men to
keep the flag flying over that small
portion Of Russia now isolated from
the fatherland, and trust my people
will faithfully assist the soldiers"
This message was read to the troops
and was received with cheers. as al
also a telegram from General Kuropat-
kin in which he begs the residents to
hold out, as he cannot move to their
relief until late in August.
u. Sterling, manager of the East
Asiatic company, who left Port Arthur
August 5, arrived here today. He says
the Japanese were then before the out
err line of main Notifications, but be-
lieves that their advance has been
checked. The Russians purposely re~
tired to their present position 20 make
a last stand. A band is playing daily,
newspapers issue special editions and
shops and offices are open.
"Sudre, another refugee. says from
July 2 to 20 the Japanese fought con-
~tinuously before capturing Wolf noun
tain and Green mountain. During one
portion of the engagement the Russians
were unable to remove their wounded
owing to the heavy fire OF the Japa-
nese. The men lay on the hills all night
and many died unattended"

MEANS PORT ARTHUR's
FINISH.

London. Aug. 1.-THE afternoon
papers today. while admitting the
result of the engagement of Port
Arthur is not clear, generally inter-
preted the conflicting reports from
Toxic and Chefoo as meaning the
bulk Of the Russian squadron made
a sortie in hopes of escaping, but
that only the torpedoboat destroyer
Ryeshitelni, which reached Chefoo.
succeeded in getting away. The
captain OF the latter believed the
rest Of the squadron would be
equally successful. The papers re-
call Cervera's dash from SantiagoA
followed by the speedy surrender OF
town, and consider the sortie from
Port Arthur indicates the impend-
ing fall of the fortress.
The Associated Press learns Great
Britain is distinctly dissatisfied with
the Russian attitude in the Knight
Commander case, and continues TO
press Russia to make a substantial
modification of the list Of articles
regarded as c~ontraband.

DECISION.
Salaries Of County Officers May BE In
creased During Term.

E| |NN EA
Salem, s. d.. Aug. l3.-The supreme
court has recently held in the case Of
Hauser VS.. Brown county. that the leg
islature may during the term OF office
for which a county officer Is elected.
Increase his salary.
The constitution Of the state provides
Nor shall the compensation OF n
public officer be Increased on dimiuish-
ed during his term Of ofscs." The W
preme court holds that the word pub
lie officer used In section 3 OF article
12 OF the state constitution. refers to
state officers only and not to county
offEers. Therefore the legislature may
increase the compensation OF county
officers during their term OF Office. but
o state oficers The question was
before the county commissioners OF this
county In January. 1894. and they held
that the legislature could not increase
the salary OF officers OF McCook county,
and an appeal was taken from their
decision. and the same has been with
Judge Jones for some time waiting the
outcome OF the Brown county case. The
decision will give Judge q. e. Ladd
about $500 more per year: Superin-
tendent Young SIS per ear 1t Will
also affect the salary OF the county
auditor.
