Great Deficiency in Heat.

indianapolis. Aug. II. - The crop
bulletin for Indiana for the week end
ed Aug 8 says: Abnormally low night
temperatures caused daily deficits in
the twenty-four-hour means which
produced an accumulated deficiency
during the week averaging. for the
state, about 20 degrees. No rain fell
in the state during the week. These
weather conditions were highly favor
able for harvesting matured crops and
threshing wheat, rye and oats, but the
lack of rain was very detrimental to
all growing vegetation.

ChefOO, Aug. 12.-According to the
latest information obtainable the Rus
sian squadron has not returned to Port
Arthur. On the night Of Aug. 8 heavy
cann0nading was heard at sea In the
direction of Port Arthur. Advices
from the fortress say that the jap
anese bombarded the town, placing
their batteries in dense kaolin fields,
where they were effectually masked.
The shells dropped mainly in the west
ern basin, where the squadron was an
chored. Many of the shells fell upon
the battleship Retvizan, but no serious
damage was done either to the town
or the feet
Later the forts got the range Of the
japanese field batteries and drovethem
out from their shelter in the kaolin.
On the morning of Aug. 10 the squad
ron put to sea, where heavy cannonad-
ing was heard for several hours The
result Of the battle is not known and
nothing definite has been learned re-
garding either squadron. 1t is report
ed that the japanese protected cruiser
Kasagi was sunk of Round island In
the fleet engagement.

which emerged from Port Arthur with
the feet Wednesday morning and ar
rived here, says that the large Rus
sian warships left Port Arthur. but
refuses to say that the feet has gone
on an extended cruise, leaving the
inference in long interview that the
warships expect to join the Vladivostok
squadron. which he said had been re-
crulted by the purchase Of ships from
the Argentine republic.
Captain Shestakovsky has stated
that the recent firing heard at Chefoo
evidently occurred at Port Arthur,

O'Clock this morning the Japanese tor
ped0 boat destroyers Asashi0 and Ka-
sunni which entered the harbor under
cover Of darkness last night, SEM a
boarding party against the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Rieshitelni,
which had previously been disarmed
by the Chinese. After fierce fight
the boarding party hOisted the Japan
csc flag on the Rieshitelni and towed
her out of the harbor in a nOrtherly
direction. OF her crew of forty-seven
only seventeen have been accounted
for.
Captain Reported Killed.
Captain Shestakovsky is reported
killed. Seven swan ashore, landing
near the United States consulate Some
were picked up by sampans, and
three, including lieutenant were res
cued by a light ship. The Japanese
allege that they sent in a gig to the
Rieshitelni under flag of truce q lieu
tenant and interpreter who made
demand that the Russians come out
side and fight.
Russians Charged with Trsachery.
The Russian captain replied that his
ship had been disarmed, her engines
disabled and that the whole matter
was i'm the hands of the Chinese The
Japanese were asked to investigate the
disarmament and sent a party on
board. The Japanese interpreter al
leges that he overheard the Russian
captain give hurried order IN low
tone, the words not being distinguish
able to the interpreter. Immediately
following the captain seized the jap
anese lieutenant and jumped over
board with him.
Then the Fight Began.
Meanwhile the Japanese had their
searchlights turned on the Russian
ship. From the deck Of the lightship
observers could see this act. which
was followed by the shooting Of rifles
and saber strokes, and Russians jump
ing overheard. The fighting had lasted
ten minutes, when an explosion fol-
lowed. The explosion blew away the
main bridge, but did no damage to the
hull. The Russians by this time were
mostly overheard. The Japanese at
once hOisted their flag.
Complications Are Looked For.
Presently a searchlight from the
Chinese cruiser Hal Chi disclosed a
Chinese cutter alongside the Asashio.
It remained there only a minute, and
then went alongside the Kasumi.
where it stopped an equal length of
time. The cutter then returned to the
Hal Chi. The inaction of the Chinese
fleet is unexplained so far. 1t is be-
lieved serious international complica-
tons will result from the incident.

lation that the Japanese fired at the
Russians when they were in the water
and that they refused TO rescue any of

STEEP GRADE ON THE LINE
Company Refuses to Run the Cars
Snake Story That Takes tie
Belt-State Notes.

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 12.-The war
veterans at the Indiana State Soldiers
Home. north of the city, will operate
street cars. A new line will be built
up the hill to the home, and while
the service will be under the super
vision Of the street railway company
Grating the cars. The street car COM
pany would not assume the response
bility Of running up and down the
steep grade, and the only way in
which the veterans could secure the
service was to operate the cars them
selves. The company is under contract
to lay tracks on the new roadway to
the home grounds, but it cannot be
compelled to operate cars.
No Line Is a Money Saver.
The street car line ends at Tecumseh
trail, and since it was taken away from
the top off the hill three years ago
the old soldiers have been practically
imprisoned in the home grounds. Some
Of the veterans have been growing
feebler all the time, and trips to and
from the city are growing more and
more infrequent. COmmandant Smock
states that the veterans at the home
800 in all-have more money now
than they used to have when the car
line ran direct from the grounds to
the city and the leaves OF absence
have been issued at greater intervals
than heretofore.
Vets Have Been Accommodating.
The pension money which goes into
the home is the only means of support
that many of the veterans have, and
some spent it almost as fast as they
received it. Now the savings depart
ment conducted by the home officials
is in q flourishing condition, and many
of the veterans have accumulated sew
eral hundred dollars in the last three
years. The operation of cars in the
home grounds is expected to begin
about Nov. /. The legislature provided
$4,000 for the construction of a wind
ing roadway, which was planned to
do away with the steep grade. The
car line will parallel the roadway to
the summit of the hill.

St Petersburg, Aug. II, 1877 a. IN.
- Public anxiety regarding the fate
Of the Port Arthur squadron which
has reached the highest pitch re-
NAMED unrelieved when the people of
St Petersburg retired tonight. The
news of the dismantling of the tor
pedO boat Rieshitelni at Chefoo has
not caused surprise. 1t is understood
that she was deliberately sacrificed so
that Vice Admiral ShrydlOff might be
appraised of the departure of the Rus
sian vessels from Port Arthur in or
der that he might start out with the

Of meeting them.
1t is denied at the admiralty that the
squadron left Port Arthur because the
situation Of the fortress was desperate.
The admiralty authorities say it is
more than likely that with the Japan
csc close up to the perimeter of the
fortress the warships were unable to
render further effective aid, and that
their safety was endangered by the
plunging shells dropping from the Wolf
hills
