ments OF the Russian expedition that
may march to Teheran, the capital OF
Persia, consisting OF a battalion OF
infantry. sailed from Baku for EN-.
zeli, and further detachments followed
them.
According to Official advices the roul
OF the revolutioBaries at Shahanau
has had a depressing effect and the
leaders will scarcely be able to reas
semble a respectable fighting force.
Their followers have been scattered
in many directions.
The Bakhtiari tribesmen however,
are 1000 strong, and stiff fighting Is
certain to ensue with Gen. Liakoff's
Cossock brigade in case the advance
continues.
The Russian force will not enter the
engagement unless foreign lives and
property are endangered.
In response to strong representa-,
tons from Russia to the effect that
the Turkish consul general at Tabriz
is siding openly with the revolution
lists, the Turkish government has
decided to recall that official.
A long list of claims for indemnity
Is accommodating against Persia on
the part OF the Russian residents
These amount to $4,000 for direct
property losses, and do not include
the losses resulting from interruption
of trade.

Condition In State AS Cleaned By
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moincs, July From Monday
to Friday the weather was almost
tropical with maximum temperatures,
on two days, ranging from 80 degrees
to SO degrees and a high percentage
of humidity, but the week closed
with an unusually cool wave and gen
eral rains. At the Central Station
the mean temperature, 60 degrees, on
Sunday was the lowest on record for
the 4th of July during the past thirty
years. Showers were general except
,overthe northeastern counties on the
first of the week and scattered showers
occurred in a few localities on June
10Th and 30th, but the amounts of
rainfall were not much above the
normal except over the south central
and extreme northwestern counties
where they ranged from two to over
three inches. The heavy rains in the
southern districts have caused further
delay in cleaning the corn fields and
as a result there has been a large
acreage abandoned. Over the larger
favorable for cultivation and much Of
the corn has been laid by with a por-
ton Of the crop up to the 4th of July
standard in size, color and condition
The small grain harvest has begun in
the southeastern counties and oats,
barley, rye and wheat have headed
nicely in northern districts. The
condition of those crops is generally
good except in localities where the
moisture has been excessive, but even
there, no rust is reported. Oats straw
Is, however, shorter than usual. Clov-
er cutting is general and considerable
timothy was put up during the week in
fine shape. Potatoes and garden truck
are thrifty and while there mas been
a decline in the condition. of fruit
there will be fair crop of apples.
