Lewiston-In response to eastern
fluctuations, the local wheat market
has apparently lost its bottom, and al
ready this week notes decline of sew
eral points. AZ there is very little
wheat left the price does not make
much difference to the growers, but is
now lowering around 20 cents, four and
hive cents lower than last week.
While the farmers are not IN the
market at this time of the year, the
present week has not been without its
grain deals. The Vollmer Clearwater
company has shipped between 10000
and 10000 bushels east during the
week, receiving Sill and $I.l2 deliv-
cred at Chicago market.
This same company was directly in
terested in the big warehouse fire at
Omaha, as 80, 1000 bushels of the wheat
lost belonged to the local company.
1t was we'll covered by insurance, how
ever, and there was no loss.
Other cereals have not been affected
by the drop in wheat and barley and
bats are, if anything, stronger htan last
week.

Lewiston-John P. Vollmer, during

600 for barley grown by himself. This
is nearly all of the grain through this
country which was left in first hands
Everything has been bought up by the
dealers, and though Mr.. Vollmer still
has plenty of grain scattered through
the country it is what he has bought
from the raisers and not of his own
crop.
In all Mr.. Vollmer has disposed Of
1000 bushels Of barley during the
past week, receiving about an average
OF 81 cents bushel. G. E. Wood, Of
Genesee, was the purchaser of S 900
bushels, but Mr.. Vollmer declines to

Relative to the value of the State
bank stock, the News has asoertained
that during the winter the stock was
sold at par, $500 par value having been
sold for $500, or at just what was paid

While the directors of the Canton
State bank were proceeding to carry
cut their plan of liquidation by ar
by all of the creditors, depositors and
stockholders, and had received a large
number of letters asserting thereto, a
suit was begun last evening Dy Lynch,
Day & Day for two of the depositors,
asking for the appointment of re-
ceiver
The attorney for the defendant was
called in, as was also attorneys for
other depositors, and 1t was finally or
dored that Judge Henry A, Wise and
James @. Barbour be appointed as re-
ceivers of all the property of the bank
and take charge of its affairs, upon
each giving bond in the sum of $780,
COO. 1t is said that this was assented
% by the directors of the bank be-
cause of the reason that this suit and
the objection of some of the creditors
had blocked their proceedings to liqui-
date.
The bank officials also say that this
with their attempt to liquidate its af-
fairs, except that the trustees have
teen appointed by the court instead OF
ing selected by the depositors and
stockholders in the manner provided
by the liquidation plan of the direc-
tors.
Judge Henry A. Wise is an old bank
CT and man in whom the public has
the fullest confidence.
James G.. Barbour is one of the lead
ing men in the Metropolitan Paving
Brick Co. and has able qualifications
for this position.
While it is to be regretted that the
affairs of the bank had to go into the
hands of receivers, yet the public may
be gratifiad in the fact that such COM
letent receivers have been appointed
b! the court.

BEGINNING OF The END
Belief In Washington that Japanese
Gunnery Was to Blame.

Washington, d. c., May 29.-The
view that the beginning of the end of
the war in the Orient has cckne with
Rojestvensky's defeat is not confined
to Admiral Dewey alone. Among all
the high naval officials the same view
Is expressed, that Russia is now In a
position where she must sue for peace
"The Baltic feet was Russia's last
iope," as one prominent officer ex-
pressed it. "and she has absolutely
nothing now to rely on to push her
campaign. The fleet which she has
Eenned In the Black Sea, though a
comparatively strong one, cannot be
cotton out of there without raising a
etorm Of protest from England. 1t is
not likely that Russia will attempt to
bring that feet into play. 1t is my
opinion that Japanese gunnery was
chiefly responsible for the crushing
blow administered to Rojestvensky's
powerful squadron"
Among some officials, however, there
is a tendency to the view that the

moralized by the terrific fire of the
Japanese and its deadly effect that
tley could not serve their guns as
they should have been, and magnifi-
cent modern fighting machines were
impotent simply because the brains to
handle them were absent.
MANY SURRENDERED.
On board of the vessels that surren-
oered was Rear Admiral Nebogatoff
and two thousand officers and men,
many of whom were terribly wounded.
The latter we're given the best of care
and attention and sent at once to a
place of safety.
Admiral Togo withdrew his flagship
temporarily from the pursuit, leaving
that feature to his subordinate COM
Inanders. In his report he states that
the sinking of the Dimitri DnosN and
the Admiral Nakhimoff was accom-
plished only after a terrific fight and
declared that their commanders han
died them with great skill He classi-
fes the Russian losses as follows:
RUSSIAN LOSSES.
Two battleships. one coast defense
ship, five cruisers, two special service
ships, three destroyers. sunk; two bat
tleships. two coast defense ships, one
special service ship, one destroyer, cap
tured
He concludes this report by stating
that the engagement is still in prog
ross and that it will be some time be-
lore he can make complete report.

R0JESTvENSKY FLED
Reports at st. Petersburg That He
Has Gone to VIadivostok.

St. Petersburg, May 3O.--It is report
ed here that Admiral Rojestvensky,
seeing that the conflict against Togo
was hopeless, boarded destroyer and
started for Vladivostok. While this
report is being circulated in high naval
quarters, 1t Is absolutely without con-
firmation and at the admiralty it is
declared that no official information
tas been received from the feet COM
mander. 1t is hoped in all quarters
that some of the Russian ships may
have escaped the Japanese and will
succeed in reaching Vladiyostok.
One report which is being circulated
by the news agency is that the Japa-
nese torpedo boats and destroyers. to
the number OF 70. dashed headlong

naval battle will not mean the cessa-
ton of hostilities altogether, as there
IS belief that Japan will now imme-
diately attempt tremendously crush
ing movement by land.
Throughout the Day Admiral Dewey
exhibited the keenest possible interest
in the details and bulletins, which he
was furnished by newspaper represen-
tatives, as we'll as by the navy depart
ment agencies. Talking with one of
his fellow officers, Admiral Dewey went
over all the details of the battle, and it
was the all absorbing topic of the day.

cannot see how Russia is now in a po-
s!tien to continue her campaign by sea.
Japan, with the two additional battle
ships captured by her, and with the
Russian ships sunk at Port Arthur,
which she will doubtless be able to re-
store to usefulness, now appears to
have the preponderating sea power"

details were learned which serve 70

straits. Here Togo has had his ships
mustered and in waiting for over a
fortnight, in the meantime keeping his
scout ships following up the move
