Sioux Falls. S. D.. Aug. f.--Corre-
~spondence Which has been filed With
the state board of railroad commission
ers in his city indicates that the OIL
GERS of the Twin Brooks Elevator COM
apprehension as to the freight rates
on grain between Twin Brooks and
Milbank.
Therefore there is & possibility that
the matter Of the protest of the ele-
Nator company against alleged aiscriin-
nations in freight rates on grain by
the Milwaukee railroad be-
tween the towns mentioned may be adj
justed without official action by the
state board OF railroad commissioners,
with whom TIC protest was lodged.
1t was ailesed in the protest Of the
Twin Brooks people that the grain
rates from SiSseton and intermediate
points to Milbank was 1919 cents per
100 pounds. and that the rate from
Twin Brooks to Milbark was 1875 cents
per Zoe pounds. Twin Brooks is only
seven miles from Milbank. while Sisse-
ton is thfrty-seven miles distant from
Milbank.
The Twin Brooks elevator people, it
appears, also made complaint direct to
headquarters of the Milwaukee COM
pany, for the railroad commissioners
IN this city have received from the
company a copy of ~ answer which
was sent by the freight department of
the road to the officers of the elevator
company at Twin Brooks.
The Milwaukee company, III its reply,
points out that the Win Brooks PEG
pie evidently were laboring under q
misrepresentation as to exactly what the
rates were between the points men
toned. In the reply it is stated that
the rate from Sisseton to Miibank on
wheat, oats, barley and corn is s cents
per 100. and from Twin Brooks to Mil
bank 4.75 cents per 100. The rate from
Corona to Milbank is also AIS cents per
100 pounds.
In View of this statement by the Mil
waukee company it is thought the pro-
test OF the Twin Brooks Elevator COM
pany will be withdrawn. In the event
h a it is not. Il matter will be in
vestigated and acted upon by the rails

INTERESTING
Winner of Rosebud Land Also Found
Long Lost Relatives.

Yankton. s. D.. Aug. 17.-An interest
ing romance has developed here as the
result of William Brewer drawing No.
So in the Rosebud drawing. Brewer,
fifteen years ago left his widowed
mother ard a younger brother at a
small own in Illinois and went to Chi
cage. The rest of the family then
move 10 Oklahoma. In his way they
lost track of each other, Brewer then
moved TO Yankton, and since 1889 has
been unable to find any trace whatever
of mother or brother, although he has
repeatedly tried all sections of Okla
ho1na. Friday he received a letter
from California from his mother, now
seventy years of age. She had read his
name as a Rosebud winner in a Cali
fornia paper, and had at once written.
The brother is With his mother. Mr..
Brewer is making arrangements for a
meeting with his long lost relatives.
He figures he is having a liberal slice
of good luck in drawing a good claim
and recovering folks he has lost for
fifteen years, all within q week.

SO as to make the vessels able to put
to sea, Admiral Togo's battleship
squadron had five ships-the Asahi.
Mikasa, Thikishima, Yashima and
:222 guns, as against the Russians bat
tleship strength of six battleships
with tonnage of 1900 and 354 guns.
In the class of fully armored cruis-
ers, really disguised b~attleships, Ad-
miral Togo had eight ships, with which
the Bayan at Port Arthur and the
Gromoboi, Rossia and Rurik at Viadi-
Tostok could alone compare. The Jap
anese arnored cruisers were the Id
zunao, Iwate, Yakumo, Azun1a. Asa
ma, Tokiwa, Kasagi and Nisshin, with
q total tonnage of 64.7S6 and 800 guns.
It is well known that the kasagi was
in a collision May Is and there have
been reports of the loss of another of
the lass and the withdrawal from Adj
miral Togoss feet of others for re-
pairs. The Bayan, the best of Russia's
armored cruisers, is 1909 tons and 81
guns, and the speediest and best pro-
tected. The four Russian cruisers to-

certainly lost from its sixteen unar-
r1ored protected cruisers the Yoshino

added, by report, and though the ships
are generally of smaller tonnage by a
couple of thousand tons on the aver
age 1t hal a strong preponderance in
the class.
The japanese cruiser Kasagi. which
is reported sunk in the battle If Port
Arthur, was built in Philadelphia In
1898 and is a protected cruiser OF 4.1S4
tons. I. carries two s-inch and ten
4.7-inch rapid fire guns. 1t carries a
crew of 400 men.
The Kasagi Is the second American
built boat to be destroyed in the war.
The Variag, built by the Cramps In
Philadelphia, was sunk In Chemulpo
harbor by Japanese shells. The Ka-
sagi was not christened In the usual
FAY by breaking a bottle OF wine on
its prov, but was simply named by
Miss Helen Long, daughter OF the then
secretary of the navy.

SURROUNDING kUROPATkiN.
Japanese Efforts in the North Are ri
rected TO That End.

Lao Yang. Aug. 17.-Chinese bandits
last night blew up a portion of the rail-
road ten miles south Of Lao Yang. The
road was repaired in a few hours.
The japanese are preparing 10 make
an attack. They are making recon
noissances to ascertain the strength Of
the Russians at An Shan Shan. The
Japanese are eight miles to the south
ward of AnshanShan. Thence they
hold a line southeast. including the val
ley Of Sidahi. whence their line runs
northeast to Holoungow, which is oc-
cupied by a large force. Further north
their outposts are some miles from
L~andiansan. Opposite An Ping, the
japanese occupy G~outilyatshi, on the
Taitzi river. japanese outposts occupy
Diaodanshon. when the japanese tried
to ford to Bensihu, which Is defended
by the Russians. The road thence
stands towards the Yantai mines and
the railroad north of Lao Yang. The
japanese also occupy TITAN Tchan. @
the sanatzi road over Tai Tin pass, and
through Sintsihitin to Mitain.
There are constant reports that the
Japs are moving large forces on the
railroad to Sinmintin, and are bring
ing up ~~ontoons to cross the Lao riv-
CT. thus threatening the Mukden and
Lila Yang railroad. From all this it is
easy to perceive that the Russians
strategical position is very good. They
occupy, With Liza Yang as the center,
a fortified semi-circle. The Russian
forces can be concentrated easily and
moved along the inside lines.
The japs on the other hand are out
side and therefore much dispersed. The
Russians position, ii is claimed, will
be still better when they retire from
Anshanshan. The Japs are ever show
ing a desire to close the circle from the
north. simultaneously moving from
west to east oward Yantai, Mukden
and Ia pass. Under present circum-
stances it is believed this pass is be-
yond their strength, at least until the
fall Of Port Arthur releases q large
number OF troops.
