Vice Admiral Togo's recital of the latest engagement off Port Aithur, which was received at Toklo, shows that the Japanese have blocked the en trance to the harbor. After the blockading flotilla hail been Rcnttercd by a gale and the commander of tho flotilla had slgnallcln vain that tho attempt bo abandoned, pending the moderation of tho storm, tho crews of tho separated ships, in no wise daunt ed by tho weather which threatened them and separated totiom from their companions, proceeded to tho work on their own desperate Initiative. They forced their way forward In the face of the Russian fire, which was more deadly than ever before ns a result of tho Imp'rovcd Russian defenses, over tho field of mines. Many of theso ex ploded, yet live out of tho .Japanese blockading ships were Jammed into tho Inner channel, nnd now prevent pro gress from the harbor to all crafts ex cepting small boats. This attack exceeded all Its prede cessors in desperation, nnd tho cour age displayed by the volunteer crews Is equal to thut shown in any event in tho war history of tho world. When tho Yedo-.Maru reached the officers aro of tho opinion that Col. mouth of the passage and was lowcr- Pltcber should not bo so hard to please, and unless be offers a more satisfactory explanation formul charges may possibly bo prepared for him to answer.

While, there was a strong disposition 011 tho part of cer tain delegates to have the conference adopt resolutions committing It to ex treme utterances upon I he subject, thore was an overwhelming sentiment, as it developed, against any such ac tion, and tho entire matter was finally disposed of by refenlng It to a com mitted from which it is unlikely ever to bo reported. Several other resolutions hearing up on tho subject b of divorce, tho termi nation or membership of neglectful menibors, Sunday closing of tho lewls nnd Clark exposition, tho endowment of tho American university at Wash ington, tho changes lu the wording of various paragraphs in the discipline ami other matters of Importance to Methodists were submitted and de bated by several eominltteis.

TO HEAD OFF DIVORCES Inter-l'hiirrh Coiitort'iirc it rhllitilnlphlii lining Klllrlent Work. Tho Inter-church conference on mnr riago and divorce, a body representing officially fourteen denomination, nl Philadelphia, has issued, through Its secretary, tho Rev. William II. Roberts, D. D., an appeal to tho public, calling attention to several aspects of the dl- vorco question. The pnper Is the beginning of a na tional campaign of education upon the subject, to be followed by efforts to eoeuro tho onnctnient of laws In the stale legislatures, and ultimately It is thought, of an amendment to tho con stitution or the United States. Already action has been taken by the conference looking toward the preven tion of tho ro-marriage, by ministers of other communions, of divorce whom clergy mon of their own faith have re timed to marry. ' , Adulterated Vlueciir HiirrtMl, Tho reliability of tho chomlcal tests tor adulterations in elder vinegar will bo tested in tho courts. Food Com missioner Thompson will begin suit against tho Heinz pickle and vinegar firm, ono of tho largest concerns of Its kind lu tho United States, for dis posing of adulterated vinegar In Uu colu, within tho next few days. Sever al weeks ago while Inspecting vinegars handled by Lincoln merchants, Com missioner Thompson discovered a lot of guaranteed puro elder vinegar be ing sola at an establishment on Fast O street whlcu was not as represented. Tho merchant ielllug tho product waa Informed that he could not handle It and the llelnz people, who manufac ture It. were notified. lng her anchor, her captain, Com mander Takayangl, was shot through the stomach nnd killed. Sub-I.leutenaut Nagnta succeeded to the command. He anchored the Yedo-Mnru and sank her. Two other stone-laden Btenmers, be lieved to bo the Otaru-Muru and the Sagaml-Maru, then entered the mouth of the harbor nnd sank. Tho Totoml-Maru collided with n boom. This turned her stem to the eastward and she sank athwart the pas sage, blocking nearly one-half of the cntranco to tho harbor. Tho Japnneso have enptured Fong-Wang-Chong. It was the second lin of the Russian defense nnd a stiff fight was anticipated. General Kurokl pressed forward and attacked before tho Russians hnd recovered from the demoralization and confusion into which they hnd been thrown by their previous defeat on tho Ynlu river. Tho Japanese have followed up prac tically in all respects, their plans 'in the Chino-Riibslnn war. They lime crossed the Ynlu at tho same place and landed upon the Mao Tung peninsula at tho same points and it is believed they will continue their tactics as their oppositions forcshudow the movements mndu in 1891. Tho possession or Feng-Wang-Cheng is of tho highest importance ns It places under the control of the Japan ese without further opposition, a large Btrlp of Manchuiian territory, border ing upon the bay of Korea and the road connecting Mao Yang, Halcheng. New Cheng and Pitsewo. Tho command of tho road to Pitsewo will enable this army to establish communications with tho Jnpaucso operating In tho Mao Tung peninsula. Tho Russian retreat from Feng- Wang-Cheng is confirmed. The Japan ese destroyed tho railway at Port Adams, blowing up tho bridges. Union I'arlllci Announced Them I'.ffoctlT Bin III. J J. Cox, division freight nnd pas senger agent of tho Ilurllngton, has re ceived a telegram from General Freight Agent Ives stating that an agreement has been mado in tho rate war on grain by which proportionals will bo made, from Missouri river cities to Chicago of li; cents on wheat and 11 cents on' corn; rates from tho Missouri to the Mlsslppl river to bo 9 cents on wheat and 8 cents on corn. It was stated that the work of checking tho rates will begin at once and that they will bo announced In a short time. It Is taken that this Is a real settlement, and that it will stand tho test. It Is practically a victory for tho Norhweat crn in its contention with tho Great Western road. It Ib Bald tho North western has been granted concessions in northeastern Nebraska, for which It contended, and In return It has con ceded that tho rate through from Ne braska territory shall not he less than the combined local and proportional rates through Omaha. Reports from Chicago show tho fol lowing schedule of rates has been agreed upon: From south western Missouri river points: To Wheat. Corn.

Somo time ago Btato papers gave considerable publicity to the experi ments with Pintsch gas for tho ex termlngatlon of gophors, which were mado In Cass county and found to bo a failure. Col. H. C. McMakon of Plattsmouth, In a communication pub lished In one of tho local papers, claims to havo discovered a way of extermin ating this pest at very little expense. Ho has found that by placing a potato dosed with strychnine In the hole where the gopher holdB forth la suro death for tho anlmnl. Ho claims that hy following this plan any farmer can gel rid of all tho gophers on his place at a cost of less than ?2 and no oxpert is required to do the work.

With tlames all about him, and a hoso company playing a stream of wntor on him to keep Ills clothing from tuklng fire, lie stood at the lever In the fiercely burning en glno house and safely hoisted fifteen men to tho surfuce. A moment after he staggered out of tho building with his face and hands bndly blistered, the roof of tho building fell In. The en gine room, the fan house and tire shaft towor were completely destroyed. Will rroecute Tronpumern The members of the Tecurasoh Gun nnd Rlflo club nro after the trespassers who are hunting and fishing on their leased property in the neighborhood of Smartvllle. The club has control of a body of water there known as Denny's lake, as well ns tho hunting privileges on sovoral nearby farms. Outsiders have been enjoying tho sport of hunt ing nnd fishing on the club's property, The theory that the rainfall of Kan nan depends very largely upon the onowfall In tho Rocky Mountains of Colorado Is not supported by Dr. F. II. Snow, of the University of Kansas, who believes that the rains of Kansas are caused by winds from the Gulf of Mexico, Dr. Snow, who has studied the weather of Kansas thirty-seven years, supports his theory by argu ment, wtlch is tho result of much hard study and close observation. The United StatcB weather bureau recent ly sent out warning to persons in east ern Colorado and parts of Nebraska stating that on account of a doOclcncy In the snowfall In the mountains last winter tho supply of water In the Platto river for Irrigation will bo ex hausted prematurely. This has called attention and promoted discussion re garding tho theory which attributes tho rainfall of Kansas to the melting snows in the Rockies. According to this theory, an exces bIto snowfall In the mountains as fol lowed by an abundant rainfall In Kansas the following spaHon, while a dofloiency of snowfall Indicates the probability of a serious deficiency In rainfall. In talking of the question as to the sourco of Kansas rainfall Dr. Snow said: "Notwithstanding the deficiency of snow in the Rocky Mountain region last winter, the rainfall or Kansas In March and April greatly exceeded tho normal amount and furnished a sufll dent refutation of tho theory that Kansas rainfall depends upon the mountain enow. Tho most probable source of tho moisture which pro duces tho Kansas rainfall Is the Gulf of Mexico. Tho prevailing winds of Kansas in tho latter part of spring, tho entire summer, nnd the first half of autumn, are from tho south and southwest." Dr. Snow's theory is that tho winds of western Kansas como from across tho hot, sandy country of New Mexico and western Texas, and that the winds of eastern Kansas come from the guir. Tho mol6ture-laden winds or eastern Kansas blow over central northern Texas, central Oklahoma, nnd after crossing Kansas take a northwestern course through southeastern Nebras ka, northwestern Missouri, and over Iowa. This territory Is lu the rain bolt and is not subject to dry seasons as is western Kansas and parts of other states over which the dry hot winds pass from tho far southwest. These dry winds, after their courso over New Mexico and western Texas, cross western Kansas and pursue n course further enst in Nebraska than lu Kansas and then into tho Dnkotas. "The sea breezes from the Gulf of Mexico," said Dr. Snow, "extend west ward into south Texas for a consider able distance, gradually veering to the north nnd Joining the regular south west winds, bringing nbundant mois ture to tho eastern part of Kansas, while tho western half of tho state, lying beyond tho moisture-laden winds from the gulf, has a different rainfall in each locality according to its distance from the northward mov ing molsture-luden currents." Tho ,fapiuien I.itml 10,000 Man ut rnflt Alnin nnd Italmi llnvoo A dispatch to tho Associated pres9 from St. Petersburg says: "A dispatch received says that Port Arthur Is cut off from nil communica tions by land, tho Japanese having disembarked In Its rear, occupied the railroad and cut tho telegraph. Vlca Admiral Skrydloff, who Is en route to Port Arthur to tako command of tha naval forces In tho far cast, will be un ablo to reach his destination." Two distinct landing operations by tho Japanese in tho vicinity of Port Arthur aro reported In dispatches to tho Associated press. According to cables from Toklo nnd St. Petersburg, the Japancso effected a landing in forco and unopposed at Pitsewo, a point on tho cast coast of the peninsula about sovcnty-flvo miles nbovo Port Arthur. Another successful landing is reported to havo taken placo nt Port Adams, which Is situated on an arm of Society bay on the west coast of the peninsula, directly opposlto and about twenty miles distant from Pitsewo. Tho rail road that connects Port Arthur with Mukden passes close to Port Adams, and it Is evident that it is now in tho possession of tho Jnpaneso at this point. It was because he was convinced that Port Art.air was about to be cut off that Viceroy Alexloff, accompanied by Ills staff and Grand Duko Doris, left hastily. Several tralnloads of sick and wounded and other Ineffective:! were dispatched northward. Tho Japanese landing at Pltsowo la oxpected to bo followed almost imme diately by the isolation of Port Ar thur. Landings on the west coast of the peninsula are also anticipated. Tha Russian military authorities seem rec onciled to tho cutting off or their stronghold, but they are convinced that the fortress Is Impregnable against at tack by land or sea. WARDEN VS. THE COURT Kansas Warden llefomn to Ohey Kallnii of Sapreaie Court The Kansas state supreme court will bo called upon to decide a controversy between E. 11. Jewctt, warden of tho penitentiary, and Judge Sheldon or tho Paola judicial district, over tho Juris diction of the latter. Judgo Sheldon sentenced a man to tho penitentiary a short time ngo for stealing chickens. The man was con victed under the provision of the chicken stealing law enacted by tho legislature of 1903. which makes tho action a misdemeanor it performed in daylight and a felony If at night. The thief was sentenced under tha Indeter minate law. Attorneys interested in tho caso declared that both or the laws aro unconstitutional, ami at tempted to take tho thief from the penitentiary for the purpose of testing tho constitutionality or both enact ments. Judge Sheldon granted a writ of habeas corpus for the return of tho convict, but Mr. Jewett refused to glvo up tho convict. Judgo Sheldon then cited tho warden to appear May 2 to answer to the charge of contempt of court. Mr. Jewett sent back word that ho will not appear and (tho case probably will have an Interesting closo.
