FIVE DAYS OF BATTLE.

.Alon. the Hun River.

Russian Headquarters. Huan Noun
tain FEB. THE FIVE days combat
which will go down in history as the
battle of the Hun River. was fought
out on d seemingly unending plain
which is broken only by the mountains
around Yentai, the solitary eminence
of Which Is the Lao YaEg tower OF
bloody memory. The bright glare of
the sun reflected from a dazzling ex-
panSe of snow was painful 10 the eyes
and ii was with difficulty that one
could follow here and there black
streaks marking the Russian columns
or Wavering skirmish lines dashing
against what resembled dull gray
rocks, but which in reality were the
villages Of Lidiaton and Tanlepu and
the extensive hamlet of Sandepas,
Fashioned by Chinese defenses and con-
yerted by the Japanese in to veritable
sses-surrOunded with wire en-
ltanglements and earthWorks. Exposed
TO the intense cold of Manchurian
winter. the mounds of earth had be-
come like granite and as impenetrable
as the steel sides of a modern battle
ship.
For fve days Russian soldiers hurl-
ed themselves against the defenses and
field artillery pounded them until the
frosty air reverberated with the
thunder of cannon, the din of bursting
shells and the rattle of musketry.
But neither steel point shell nor nickel
bullet ayailed against the frozen earth
works The gunners actually wept
With despair at the impotence of the
attack. Mortar batteries came up at
a gallon in the hope of demolishing
the Notifications. Night and day the
stream of shells was poured against
the earthworks, but it had very little
effect.
The men seemed Indifferent to
hunger and cold, which latter was of
arctic intensity. Their fingers, hands
and feet We're benumbed, while sting
ing snow and dust blinded them. The
slightest wound caused excruciatng
pain. Warm blood no sooner exuded
from lacerated flesh than it began to
freeze. The WoundeC could not be left
exposed, and If they did not receive
attention within an hour they died
Nature heaped tortures upon the
troops and defeated the well thought
out plan of the commander.

Various plans for raising more revenue are being proposed as the de- felt continues and it is apparently i'm possible to reduce the expenditures un- til the limit of taxation is reached. Every plan, however, brings condem- nation on the head of the proposer, as witness the case of Senator Dick who suggested the reimposition of the stamp taxes prevailing during the Spanish war. Another suggestion is a tax on tea and coffee: the proposition to reduce the tax on alcohol has many advocates. There is no doubt such d reduction would stimulate consumption in the arts and manufactures. and thus increase the revenues. The most popu- lar suggestion of all, however is to re- impose the tax on beer There is a general feeling that the brewers can well afford to pay another dollar per barrel and such tax would put thirty million dollars a year into the treas ury. There is a report, however. which is generally credited, that be- cause of the heavy campaign contribu- tions to both parties, the brewers will not be touched.

While the government does not eX-
 press in bushels it's estimate of the corn prospects. it nevertheless fur nishes the statisticians of the various grain exchanges of the country with tangible data for converting the monthly report into bushels, says Banker Henry Clews. Thus the de-
 partment indicates an increase of 2,- 0S0,000 acres in the area planted to corn and an initial condition of S7.3, as against S64 at the corresponding date year ago. This increase in both acreage and condition is interpreted by the accepted system of figuring the de- partment's returns as an indication of a harvest of 2,65l, 100000 bushels of corn. At this date last year a similar handling of the governments figures of condition and acreage promised crop of 2.53T 000,O 900 bushels, while the of ticial harvest as reported in December Irt1ptLIVu o''o'''Op' DuslitiS. suoN liis the substantial reliability of the system of figuring. If the current indication is maintained-if the weather during the next few. weeks should remain ia vorable- the 1905 corn crop will be the largest ever reported by the depart ment of agriculture. In 1S99 the cen sus bureau as result of actual can vass reported crop of 2,666, 6,0O0,OO0 bushels, which was considerably in ex- cess of the department of agriculture's estimate for that year, the latter's es- timate being based on percentages rather than on actual farm to farm canvass. The July report of the de pertinent indicates a yield of 4l3,00O.- C00 bushels of winter wheat. or SO 0O0.OOO bushels more than was harvest cd last year. and a combined harvest of 105.JO0,000 bushels of spring and winter wheat. which, if spring wheat maintains its present position reason ably well will give. with the exception of 1901. when the harvest was 74S.OO0.- O0o bushels. the largest crop of wheat ever reported.
