SUNDAY NIGHTS RAIN
Celestial ZanjerO Lost All Control of
 His HeadgateS.

In another column is the weather story up to last evening. It was then quite chilly and no rain had fallen for several hours. Some people had the temerity to suggest that the rain was over and anyhow it was supposed that there would be no need for further weather stories for this issue.
 But about o'clock somebody raised the heavenly headgates again and down came all kinds of water, but the chief characteristic of all of it was it's wet ness. It rained like everything for a half hour, then eased up about two notches for a little while. After that somebody pulled out the bung and for another half hour it came down re- gardless.
 Along about midnight it toned down to a falsetto and died away pianissimo about 1 o'clock This story is being written between convulsions of precip- itation and at the present time there seems to be no indication that it will ever rain again. But before this is published Jupiter Pluvius may put on both pedals and send the organ boy to the wind crank.
 About midnight there was a report current that the water at the Arizona dam was higher last evening than at any time since 1891 and that a flood was due here about one o'clock A canal official however, said the latest news from the dam was at nine o'clock and that the water had fallen two feet. People should be careful about starting false rumors that might frighten the nervous.

 Best of 1t.

Mukden, Feb. 4.-Delayed in trans mission )-During the night of Febru- ary 1 the Japanese artillery on the Russian right opened fire on the Rus sian position southeast of Sandihu, in preparation for an attack. The Rus sian artillery replied and the cannon ading lasted until late in the after noon. During the night of February the Japanese attacked the village of Schantan and adjoining Russian posi- tions, but by daylight of February they had been defeated along the en- tire front The Russians even ad- vanced slightly. The Russians losses were about 300. The losses of the Jap anese were heavy. Japanese who have been taken prisoners declare that an other movement is pending.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City. Feb. 5.-The cattle run last week was not heavy at all, but it consisted more largely of fed steers than usual, and they were of better quality. A few sales were at $5.60 and a great many at $5.25G $50. Fed west ern steers sold up to $5-4O, and the fair to good beef steers advanced 10 to. 20 cents for the week. Medium to com mon cattle sold lower. however, and the mistake of taking cattle out of the feed lot too soon was again illustrated in a good many cases. Best cows held steady but other kinds sold lower. Re ceipts today are moderate here and elsewhere, and the market on all kinds is strong to 10 cents higher. l. has been demonstrated half a dozen times since the holidays that any day when receipts are small, or there is a pros pect of continued light receipts, as in cases of a storm, prices immediately jump up, and competition is keen among buyers. And besides, there is a gradual upward movement and prices have now reached a point where feeders are making a little money. A shipment of IS cars of short hay fed cattle were here from Hotchkiss early in the week that sold very well. The steers sold at $3.70 and $3.S5, $50 to $50 pounds. and COWS around 1000 pounds sold at $S15@3.45. All around the cattle market may be called fairly healthy.
 After Tuesday of last week the sheep and lamb market broke badly, and by Friday it was hard to move anything. Prices had reached their pinnacle Mon- day, and even Tuesday sales were cas- fly affected at the high plane, but buy CTS filled their orders and then laid

RESTLESS JAPANESE.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-According to General Kuropatkin's last reports, which indicate the wOunding of third Russian General Demobowsh, opera lions at Sanhiahu and the fighting on the Shakhe have been mOmentarily suspended. The Russians successfully repulsed the last attack of the Japa- nese eastward with heavy loss. The cold is still intense, there being thirty four degrees of frost.
 There are indications that the Jap anese are preparing to break into ac- tivity as soon as the weather mod crates.

the ground being sheared off or cut full of miniature arroyas.
 Mir Green will prepare the ground for another crop of some kind this sea- son, but he is doubtful if he can sue ceed at an-thing but sorghum. In his opinion those who are carrying on farming ill that part of the country will take steps to head future floods off by diverting the water into the channel where it belongs. At any rate. if there is no concerted move ment in that direction he will make individual effort to protect himself from not only Cave creek floods, but other inundadons coming from the north.
 The damage in Capitol addition and West Capitol addition was not so great as it was feared it would be. There was an apprehension that the founda- tions of some of the buildings would be weakened, but it does not appear that any of them were. The report on Saturday afternoon that the two-stOry brick house of Captain George D. Christy was leaning a little was based on ocular illusion. As q matter of fact, there was really no damage in West Capitol addition. The flood really did not reach 1t at all, though water backed up to some of the houses near est the railroad track, but did not eX- tend as fa~ as Madison street.
 Most of the water east of the rail- road track had run away by yester- day morning, and another flood, which had been feared from the clouds hang ing in the north, did not materialize. MT. Green said though, that the water from the watershed of Cave creek had not yet had time to reach the city, but he expected it last night or this morn ing.

PARALYZIN6 HAND
Laid Upon Railroads and Telegraph
 Wires of the South.

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 5.-Telephone and telegraph service over a wide range to the south was almost com pIetely crippled by a heavy sleet to- day. The railroad service also suf- fered and in some towns the lighting and street car service was suspended. The tie-up is the most complete for many years and although the telegraph companies and railroads have large forces of men working it may be two or three days before normal cOndi- tions are restored.

greater than that of Haiti. The area of SantO Domingo is estimated at 1S,- 045 square miles, against 1O,2O4 square miles in Haiti, which occupies the wes- tern end of the island. while Santo Do mingO occupies the eastern portion of the island, it's easternmost point being but about 75 miles west of the most westerly point. of Port Rico. The area of Santo Domingo, 1S,O45 square miles, is about equal to that of New Hamp- shire and Vermont combined. or about one-half that of the state of Indiana.
 The relative area of Santo Domingo as compared with adjacent territory may be determined by the following figures:

 While production at the present time is comparatively small, and confined as above indicated, chiefly to sugar, coffee, cacao, bananas, mahogany and Iogwood, it's possibilities of production are considered very great at such time as the interior may be opened by rail ways and reads.
 Marion Wilcox. an authority on tropical America, says that the island ''excels nearly all others in the world certainly the neighboring members of the Greater Antilles (Cuba and POr- q, i'm, sity of climate" "and adds that 'it seems entirely possible that if such system of highways and railways as the English have constructed in Ja- maica were established in Santo Do- mingo the long period of political dis turbances and revolutions in the Dom inican republic and republic of Haiti would gradually come to an end" At present the railways of the island have a total length of about 300 miles and are chiefly on the northern coast, eX- tending inland from Samana bay. one Of the finest natural harbOrs of the West Indies. while another line extends westwardIy from Santo Domingo the capital of the republic about 100 miles along the southern coast Of the island.

The interior of the island con sists of alternating mountain ranges and fertile valleys. the mountains ranging from 5000 to 1000 feet in height and the valleys extremely fer tile and capable of producing all class es of tropical growth and of sustaining large herds of cattle of which the is land is at the present time a consider able producer.

CRUSADE AGAINST scALPERs.
Protective Bureau Asks for Injunctions
 in Federal Courts.

Chicago. Feb. At a meeting of the Railway Protective Bureau last week it was decided to begin a crusade against New York and Cleveland ticket scalpers. Bills will be filed in the fed eraI and state court of each city. ask ing that all persons be restrained from handling contract nontransferable tick cts for passage.
 When these suits are out of the way every other important railroad center in the United States, where ticket scalping now hourishes. will be attack ed in turn. IL is the purpose of the bureau not to let up on the scalpers until that business has become ex- tinct.
