In many places in lowlands the ground

grass and weeds. In other sections
quite number have not finished

Naval and Military Circles in St.
Petersburg Await Developments.
st. Petersburg, May 18.-With a sus-
picious stoppage of dispatches from
Manchuria and a strong possibility that
Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky has cut his
last communications with home and
set forth on the final stage of his jour
ney to his goal, either Togo or Vladi-
vostok, keen interest is manifested in
naval and military circles here in the
two-fold field of war Though the adj
miralty, which has been completely ST.
lent since the advent of Rojestvensky
in the. Chinese sea, publishes NO dis
patches, the conviction is growing that
the united squadrons as indicated by
press dispatches on May Is, departed
from the AMMAN coast Immediately af-
ter their juncture, and naval officials
are anxiously expecting news of the
first skirmishes between scouts of the
hostile fleets.
On the military side the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping for
the preliminary stage of another. great
battle. The Russian army has been
reftted and is ready for action, and it
is asserted that Gen. Linnevitch is not
the man to waste days in inaction.

ARATHER BACKWARD SEASON
Cold and Rainy Weather Has Af-
fected General Trade and Re-
tnrded Farm Work.

New York, May Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Weather conditions are a leading
source of complaint this week, but
clearing skies, now reported through
out large area of the country bid fair
to reinforce existing optimistic views
as to late summer and fall trade Cold
or rainy weather, except in a few Sec
tions, has affected general trade, fur
ther retarded an already late corn and
cotton planting season, given rise to
rather less optimistic winter wheat re-
ports, and bullishly stimulated grain
pork and cotton prices. The great ba-
rometer of trade and industry, the iron
trade, is less active for the cruder
forms, despite price concessions, but
the disposition in usually well informed
quarters is to regard this as an in
stance of the general breathing spell,
which is noted in many lines Of whole
sale business. Demand for finished
products remains good as whole.

'BAPTISTs ARE REUNITED.
A Scene Of Enthusiasm At the st.
Louis Convention.
After sixty Years. Separation the
Northerp and Southern wings OF
the baptist Church Reunited.

st. Louis May 1S-At the second
session OF thes general convention, at
the Third Baptist church, Wednesday
forenoon, the constitution of perma-
nent convention Of northern and
southern Baptists was presented and
section by section discussed and adopt
ed.
With the presentation of the constf-
tuition by E. NJ. Threasher, of Ohio, the
high tide of the general convention was
reached. It constituted the epoch
making period in the history of the two
churches, which have. been separate
for 60 years. An audience which
packed the edifice was alert to the
dramatic strength of the situation
The climax came after DIR. Edward
Judson, of Illinois, had moved the
adoption of the constitution and DR..
William e. Hatcher, of Virginia, had
seconded the motion. AS DIR. Hatcher
concluded an eloquent speech, the au-
dience rose spontaneously and, without
leadership or direction, the old hymn,
All Hail the Power of Jesus Name
burst from 5000 throats.
The name proposed by the constitu-
tion is "The General Convention of the
Baptists of North America. " The geo.
graphical scope is to be North America
and its islands.
DR.. S. H. Ford, of Missouri, one of
the delegates who spoke on the con-
stitution, is the last surviving member
of the confederate congress. He is SO
years old. He was appointed pastor OF

.ROJESTVENSKY
WOULD RE TIRE
Report Current That thes Russian
Admiral Has Asked for Recall.
NERVOUS COLLAPSE ALLEGED
The Report Causes Grave Apprehen-
sion in St. Petersburg, Where
HIS Genius as an Organizer
Has Been Counted Upon.

st. Petersburg, May tS,-There is an
unofficial report current at the admir-
atty that Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky
has asked to be relieved of his COM
mand.
1t is said that he has telegraphed
the emperor personally that he is un-
able to continue his duties longer be-
cause of a nervous breakdown, follow
ing severe attack of kidney trouble.
1t is known that Rojestvensky was in
i'll health when he left for the far east,
and it is said that he suffered so dur
ing the long voyage, that he was con-
fined to his stateroom much of the
time, and at other times was carried
on deck on a stretcher.
Causes Grave Apprehension.
The report has caused grave appre-
garded as genius as an organizer,
and has been counted on as the one
man to retrieve the Russian fortunes.
Coupled with the news that Rojest-
vensky is in no condition to command
his feet in an engagement, is the story
in the evening papers from Shanghai
stating that the Japanese fleet, under
command of Admiral Togo, has taken
up position south Of Formosa with
a view to acting on the aggressive.
Orders to Fourth Division.
1t is learned that Vice-Admiral Biri-
left, commander-in-cnief of the Baltic
ports, has ordered the commanders of
the fourth division of Admiral Rojest-
vensky's feet to prepare to leave for
the far east by June IA.
The latest move in the war game is
causing no end of speculation here. No
person pretends to know the signifi-
canoe of the order, and the officials of
the admiralty are not disposed to
throw any light on the matter.
1t was the popular belief that as soon
as Admiral Rojestvensl1y had been re-
inforced by Nebogatoff's squadron he
would proceed to Vladivostok, giving
battle to Togo on the way if necessary.
Since the junction of the fleets, however,
the Russian commander has shown NO
disposition to sail for Vladivostok
while his bunkers and supply chests
were filled, and his actions are the
cause of considerable wonderment.
According to the semi-official dis
patches, the Russian squadron is sim
ply parading back and forth in the
roadstead of the China sea and off the
French coast. Considerable talk has
been emanating from Russian Of
| ficials within the last few days to the
effect that the combined Russian fleet
is not as strong as Togo's force

POLICE THINK IT A MURDER.
Another Theory AS to the Cause OF
the Death of John b. Quinn
Mt Joplin, Mo.

Joplin, Mo-, May 2O.-John B. Quinn
who was thought to have committed
suicide here Thursday, is now believed
by the police here to have been mur.
dered.
He was found dead in his Office with
bullet hole through his head. The
ball had passed through his brain
from the left to the right temple and
buried itself in roller-top desk.
From the fact that there were no
powder burns visible around the
wound at the temple and the peculiar
range of the bullet, several physicians
repudiate the suicide theory.
There is a story current of quar-
between Quinn and another prominen
Joplin man Thursday afternoon.
