RUSSIANS IN DESPAIR

LARGE SHIPS AT PORT ARTHUR
Confirmation Of Their Presence There.
viii co Out Again, Even if to Sure
Destruction vIadivostok Squadron
No Longer to Be Reckonsd With.

ST Petersburg. Aug. 20. A feeling
almost akin TO despair reigns ia the
Russian admiralty.
The official report of Vice Admiral
skrvdloff, coming on the heels Of the
known losses Of the Port Arthur squad
ron. not only confirming the sinking Of
the Rurik, but showing that the IN
iuries suffered by the Gromoboi and
Rossla were even greater than expect
ed. completes the crushing nature Of
the blow to Russia's naval forces in
tile far east.
So far as the immediate future is con
cerned, the admiralty does not disguise
the fact that the Vladlyostok squadron
is destroyed. The effect upon the pub
lie il also most depressing.
The only consolation found IS in the
gallant conduct Of the officers and men
aud the unequal character Of the fight,
Russian naval experts by the system
of eoefiicent figuring that the inferior.
ity Of the Vladivostok squadron In
armor and guns was 60 to 200
In some quarters Of the navy there
is also disposition to censure Rear
Admiral Jessen for abandoning the
Rurik. even though standing by her
would have meant that the Gromobol
and the Rossia would have shared her
fate
Kamimura's Ships Probably Injured.
The chief mystery at the admiralty
is why Vice Admiral Kamlmura drew
off when Admiral Jessen's ships We're
AT his mercy. The only explanation is
that his squadron must have suffered
such damage that it could not con
tinue the battle.
1t IL confirmed that the losses Of Off.
GERS and men on the Rossia and Gro
moboi were so per cent OF the former
and % per cent of the latter, showing
the dreadful havoc caused by the fire
from tile Japanese ships, even at q
range exceeding three miles. Private
reports Say the decks Of the Kossia
were veritable SHAMELESS
Detailed reports of the injuries sus
tanned by the Gromoboi and Rossla
naturally are withheld, but no doubt
exists that they are serious enough t.
require going into dry dock. SO far a
known there Is only one dock at Vladi
yostok and Ii il now occupied BY tht
Bogatyr. Consequently this win make
the repair work slow.
The hope Of accomplishing the cher
ished plan Of the admiralty OF uniting
the two Russian far eastern squadrons
to await the coming Of the Baltic fleet
seems now almost hopeless, as tho
fighting strength Of tile Port Arthur
squadron has been greatly reduced
and there is no longer any possibility
OF aid from the yiadIvostolS squadron
Nevertheless the admiralty expects the
battleships to sally forth again even f
certain destruction
The admiralty has received official
information that Vice Admiral Prince
Onktomskys five battieships and the

Co.'S weekly review If trade says.
Confidence in continued improvement
of trade has been somewhat unsettled
by sensational events in the wheat
market and the lack Of harmony be
tween labor and capital. 1t Is beeom
ing evident that estimates Of the wheat
crop must be reduced, although Other
agricultural news Is much better than
usual In so faras the purchasing pow
err of the farmer is concerned prices
have risen SO sharply that any loss il
quantity promises 70 be made up, but
this obvious fact is not appreciated by
those dealers who are making less prep
aration for future trade. Some disap-
pointment Is also felt by those who
counted upon an early resumption of
activity In building operations and 9TH
er industries hampered by labor contro.
versies.
Otherwise news Of the week has con
tained much Of nm encouraging nature,
In several manufacturing lines there is
less idle machinery, and visiting retail
buyers have stimulated iobbing trade
especially IN dry goods and kindred
lines. Railway earnings thus far re-
