RUSSIANS ARE SURROUNDED
Immediate Prospect of Another Great Bat
tie in Nanohuria.
JAP STRATEGY BEWiLDERS uNEVlTCH
His Army is Completely Enveloped by
a Line One Hundred Miles Long,
That is Gradually Clos
ing In.

| LONDON, June 1.-THE practical GER
tainly now that peace negotiations cannot
| begin for another month leads to the con-
viction that another battle will be fought
| in the interval According to the Daily
| Telegraph's Tien Tsin correspondent,
| Japanese forward movement has already
commenced in spite of the rainy season.
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic correspond
ent gives an interesting idea of the situa-
tion from a correspondent who is said to
be in a good position to know the actual
/ facts. This correspondent says that the
| principal Russian depot is at Gunshu pass,
whence many light railroads are being con-
| structed northward to facilitate retreat.
Lieutenant General Linevitch, bewildered
| by the strategy of the Japanese, is making
| repeated reconnaissance and throwing out
| innumerable scouts. Nevertheless at the
present moment, the correspondent says,
| all his army is completely enveloped The
Japanese army has made circle 100 miles
| in circumference around Linevitch and Is
| gradually closing in. The Japanese mill
| tary correspondent Of the Morning Post
| says the Russian evacuation of Omoso
| shows that General Kawamuras army
| of the Yalu," despite the difficulties met
| over a mountainous country, has arrived
J in time to synchronize with the move
ments of the other Japanese armies and
the correspondent adds stirring events are
| imminent.
| Japanese Burn stores.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16.-General
Linevitch in a dispatch to the emperor
dated juno 15 reports that Russian turn
| ing movement forced the Japanese to retro
from Iulantiza June IL after burning their
supplies. Another Russian force June II
| advanced from the valley of the Tin
river to the village OF Vanloungow pushing
back the Japanese advance posts. The
same day the Russian cavalry occupying
| Nanshantchenz retired slightly northward.
Russian ship Out of Coal.
| SAIGON, Cochin-C China, June 16-The
Russian auxiliary cruiser Kouban, for
merly the Hamburg American line steamer
Augusta Victoria, has arrived off this port
and asked to be supplied with coal suffi-
cient to reach the nearest Russian port
] Its request is under consideration. The
| Kouban is fitted with wireless telegraph

the disaster to Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
and steamed to Cape st. James, near here.

The Weather.

The weather last year which
showed the lowest temperature was
on Friday, Jan. %, the minimum
being 81 degrees, maximum 81.
Not for several years has the tenn
perature dropped with such dull
thud as last night. With a mini
mum of 20 degrees yesterday the
mercury began to hunt the bottom
of the tube, and steadily went
down till it reached p degrees
this morning at 7 o'clock, as in
Dictated by the government instru-
ment at Fort Brown. Early this
morning it was feared the onion
and cabbage crop was done for,
but later developments show that
while the damage may be consid-
cradle to cabbage, the onion tops
are slightly frozen, but the bulbs
are not thought to be seriously in
jured. II will be a day or two,
however, before the damage to cab
bage can be estimated. Other ten
der crops are in a bad way, and il
may be that orange and lemon
trees are done for, but this OF
course can't be told, yet. The
lemon is more sensitive to the cold
than the orange and has perhaps
suffered most.
About eight years ago a severe
cold spell visited this section, which
was much worse than the present
snap, lasting about three days with
freezing weather the entire time,
If the onions weather the present
cold, it will prove beyond doubt
that this is the onion country oil
the world, and there is now good
evidence to sustain the claim that
they are not permanently or Sc
riously damaged. II is learned thai
for the past eight years no failure
in the onion crop.has been had a
Laredo, and if this is so, no feal
need be felt of the result in thi'
section. Their growth and maturity
may be somewhat retarded, but no
sufficiently to cause serious loss.

the morning at this season, had
best take his wraps along. BY spe-
cial request of a pleasure party un-
der the chaperonage of Teohlo
Crixell, the train was held an hour
later than usual, and the passen-
gers extracted what pleasure they
could from the situation. Some
braved the elements and went
shooting, others huddled around
the stoves in the depot and car,
and the time passed not as swiftly
as the wind that whisttled without,
but no one seemed to be specially
bored, although what promised to
be an ideal spring day, had sud
denly been changed to mid
winter. About four o'clock the
train left the Point arriving at the
depot about $50. While no one re-
GREETED the visit to Point Isabel,
the disappointment was quite keen
that out door exercise was inter
fered with by the cutting wind
which was accompanied by fine
mist, rendering the weather any
thing but pleasant. Several of the
party had contemplated a trip to
Brazos Santiago where the Manteo
is laying outside the bar, but no
boat was available, which fact may
now be looked back upon as a
direct intervention of providence,
as the water soon became rough
and a sail or row boat would not
have been a very pleasant mode of
travel under the conditions.

A REPRESENTATIVE MEETING
Bermuda Onion Discussed by One Who
Knows. FeIicitouS Expressions
by Visitors.

A very enthusiastic body of
the representative onion and truck
growers of the Brownsville section
met at the Board of Trade rooms
Saturday night to hear T. J. Out
erbridge, of New York, talk on the
Bermuda onion. The gentleman
made a very interesting talk on the
Bermuda and its home in the Der
muda Islands, where he was born
and spent the first sixteen years of
his life. The gentleman came
down here at the solicitation of
Messrs. McDavitt, whose guest he
was while in the city, supplement-
ed by an invitation from the Board
of Trade, and in a very pleasant
address gave his impressions of the
Brownsville county, and the pos
sibilities of onion growing in this
section. Mr.. Outerbridge said he
saw no reason why the Bermuda
onion should not be grown success
fully here, and said the soil was
much richer than in their native
home, fertilizers being necessary
on the island every season. Mr..
Outerbridge says the Bermuda Is
lands have a pre- emption on about
one-third the onion seed grown in
the Teneriffe Islands, and no other
section can get seed until the Ber-
mudas have received the necessary
amount. If the Teneriffe crop is
short, the supply for this country
will be short in proportion. About
two years ago Mr.. Outerbridge,
received two or three crates of
Texas raised Bermudas, and to test
their qualities had a number cook
ed, and gave it as his opinion that
they were about as good as an
onion could be. He also sent two
crates of the Bermuda onions TO
the Bermuda Islands, and the ma
tives were bound to admit after
much 'humming and having"
that the Texas product was equal
to the native onions of Bermuda.
Following the gentleman short
addresses were made by Messrs.
Ramsey, Rockwell and Butler of
Chicago, members of the Browns
vile Land & Irrigation company,
and w. NJ. Radcliffe, resident
manager of the company, all of
whom were enthusiastic in their
expression of the magnificent pos
sibilities of the Brownsville section.
Mr.. Outerbridge assured the onion
growers present that he could
guarantee all seed ordered through
him to be strictly pure Teneriffe
Island seed of this years growth.
Frank Champion had ON exhibit
ton onions from his farm near
town which were a revelation to
the visiting gentleman, who assur-
ed the raiser that they were far
ahead of the Bermuda Islands. in
size, and the skin of the Texas
raised product is much moother
than the Bermuda Island raised,
and compared very> favorably with
that country in all particulars.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Report of the Commission to Be Sub
mitted to the President.

The public lands commission. which has
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY of changes
in the national land laws, has completed
its report after sessions occupying the past
two weeks The report will be submitted
to the President at once. 1t makes i'm
portant recommends tons designed to RENE
dy existing abuses
The abuse and evasion of the timber and
stone act, whose repeal or sweeping modi-
fication has been urged repeatedly in gov
eminent reports. and the communication
clause of the homestead law are discussed
and it is believed that the repeal of the
former and the modification of the latter so
as to require q prolonged and substantial
residence on the homestead acquired, In
stead of the present short period, are rec
commended. The question of control of the
grazing lands of the government Is consid-
cred at length. 1t is estimated that there
are 800, 0O0, 900 acres of lands In this cOun-
try apparently fl only for grazing pur-
poses and the commission has made recon-
mendatiOns designed to prevent the con-
slant destructive work being done on these
lands by trespasserS and to prevent the
frequent conflicts over public grazing lands
among different classes of Stockmen.
One of the recommendations considered
by the commission, and which it Is under
stood the commission has approved in sub
stance, is that the land laws and their adj
mnistration be left in the hands of the
Interior Department; another provides for
congressional legislation turnng-over the
grazing privileges on the public domain to
the Department of Agriculture, with ample
safeguards and protection to the actual set
tier.
The report goes into number of other
matters with view to protecting The I'M
mense public area of the country. The
commission consists of Commissioner Rich
ards of the general land office, Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry bureau of
the Department of Agriculture, and +. III.
Newell, in charge of the irrigation work of
the Department of the Interior.

Test of Fire Extinguisher.

A large number of District firemcn. to-
gether with other spectators, witnessed a
test of the Stempel fire eXtinguisher at No.
engine station Friday afternoon. The
test was conducted by Messrs. V. NJ. Rob-
inson and w. S. Tiffany of st. Louis, the
company's representatives, for the benefit
Of the United States board of steamship
inspectors. The official investiga lon into
the General Slocum disaster recently re-
vealed the fact that there was not single
chemical fire extinguisher aboard the YES
sci, and the government has decided 70 in
stall on all vessels the quick-atcion fire
extingufsher to meet such emergencies.
Messrs. Robinson and Tiffany had con-
structed a building ten feet high and twelve
feet long, filling it with straw and lumber
saturated with coal oil. The building was
set afire and a small stream was turned on
from the Stempel eXtinguisher, which put
out the blaze in thirty-three seconds only
three-fourths of the fluid in the three-gal-
lon machine being required. A successful
test was also made with other highly in
dammable substances.

CHARGE OF ARSON.
Local Police Asked to Look for Two
C0lored Men,

r. II. Cox, deputy sheriff of Charles
County, Md. recently sent a message to the
local police asking them to look out
for two colored men who are wanted in
that county for charge of arson. One coll
ored man is already in jail at La Plata
and two others are wanted for alleged COM
plicity in the crime. 1t is charged that
the men burned the saloon. and dwelling
of Charles Swami. at Pomonkey, a week
ago.
Swami had some trouble with three col
ored men some days prior to the time his
building was destroyed, and, it is alleged,
he had been told of threats made against
him. The fire occurred about o'clock in
the morning Mr.. Swami left his place the
night before and visited his brother The
latter induced him to remain over night.
and the next morning, when he started
toward home, he learned that his building
had been destroyed. The structure had
been erected but a short time and there
was nothing left of it. Mr.. Swami lost
about $500 in cash, which was either burned
or stolen His entire loss amounted to
about 81 500. He carried no insurance.
Deputy Sheriff Cox called on the local
police and said he thought the men wanted
by him had come to this city, but he failed
to find any trace of them.

CLEANING STREETS.
Suggestion Made to District Commits.
sioners Today.

General Manager Albert M. Read of the
American Security and Trust Company has
submitted to the Commissioners number
OF suggestions relative to keeping the
streets of Washington free from trash and
dirt. Mr.. Read, in his letter, takes occa-
sion to compliment Mr. Harrison Stidham,
the new street cleaning superintendent, for
his activity toward keeping the streets
clean
Among other things, Mr.. Read believes
regulation should be adopted requiring all
vehicles designed to carry dirt, coal, trash,
ETC., to be so constructed as to preclude the
possibility of the contents of the wagon
from falling out onto the street Mr.. Read
also suggests that the regulations relating
to removal of debris from new buildings
be amended so as to require all trash
to be removed in barrels or other recep-
tacles within reasonable length of time to
prevent the debris from being scattered
over the streets and sidewalks.
Mr.. Read is also of the opinion that
greater vigilance should be exercised by the
proper officials to prevent the throwing of
paper and trash into the streets.
