The Japanese Commander Bent on
Russian Fleets Destruction.
St Petersburg, April 16.-That Vice
Admiral Togo has not given up hope
of further damaging the Russian ships,
now that there is little possibility OF
their again going TO sea. is shown by
his bombardment of Port Arthur. Fri
day. Unquestionably Togo is aware OF
the effect of his previous lombard
ment. and the fact that he has repeated
1t indicated 10 the officers here that
he believes there is good cnance OF
a projectile hitting target. In or
der to drop a shell into the harbor or
city a high-angle fire is necessary.
This Is the reason the Japanese squad
rons took mp position at Lao Shan.
Other bombardments were from the
same point, which at the time did not
seem to be within the range of the
Russian batteries. It is not known
whether the new guns which have
been installed at Port Arthur COM
mand this point, but 1t Is certain that
Togos ships escaped without material
damage The abandonment of Vice
Admiral Makaroff's policy of taking
the Japanese fire is shown In the re-
port of viceroy Alexieff that his ships

WHEAT TO RULE HIGHER
Omaha Authority Says Last Year
Prices Will Be Exceeded.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 10.-That wheat
will be higher than last year all thru
the coming twelve months is the belief of
w. B. Burns Of Omaha, editor Of the
Milling and Grain News, who passed thru
Sioux City today on his way to the meet
ing of the South Dakota and Southern
Minnesota Millers' club at Mitchell, 8. D.
He believes that the present price Is tenn
porary, however.
He points to the decrease Of 32,000,000
bushels in the Kansas wheat crop, de-
crease of 100000 bushels In Nebraska,
and an anticipated large falling off from
the 76.000 900 bushels Of wheat harvested
in Minnesota and the Dakotas last year.
At the millers meeting, at Mitchell, an
effort will be made to secure lower rates
| on flour to better the market, and also to
secure coal more cheaply.
Wheat at $1.25 Predicted.
| Special to The Journal.
| Miller, S. D., Aug. 10.-Charles Thorn
son, one of the best judges Of wheat con-
ditions in the state, expects the price
here will be $1.25 bushel In the next
| few months. It seems that the wheat
yield is about cut in two because Of the
rust, altho an average Of ten bushels to
the acre is still expected. Not so with
the macaroni wheat, which the rust has
not affected, the heads being well filled
with plump grains. It will yield twenty
! bushels and Mr.. Thomson expects there
| will be 10000 bushels of it marketed at
the Van Dusen elevator. All of it will be

Damage in Central Dakota" Is from
Is to Is Per Cent.
To the Editor of The Journal
We have had a man out for weeks trip
in this and adjoining counties and regret
to say that black rust is almost universal
ly prevalent in the wheat fields. We esti-
mate the damage all the way from 25 to
rs per cent. Previous to a, week before
the grain ripened we had prospect for
a bumper crop, but few days have made
a great change.
Rust is something new in this vicinity,
as we have never known any damage to
Brown county crops from it in our twenty
two years experience, except in the year
1895.
Oats, barley, speltz, flax and macaroni
wheat are unaffected and will yield a good
crop. Corn is somewhat backward, owing
to the unusually cool season, but promises
q fair yield.
