f ' The UanonaneM of the day's fight
ing la shown In Oeneral Keller's esti

were over 1.000.
The battle leaves the general situa
tion unchanged, but shows that a pow
erful Japanese army Is massed and Is
constantly threatening Llao Yann. ap
parently only awaiting General Ku
rokl's slunal to advance.
A correspondent at Ooneral Kurokl's
headquarters says that the Jnpanese
losses during the fighting at Motion
pa"s on July 17 were trifling.
Oeneral Kouropatkln precedes his
report of the repulse to Lieutenant
Oeneral Count Keller's force with a
lengthy statement of skirmishes by
patrols which brings events up to
July 1. He doen not mention any
Important engagements, with the pos
sible exception of the occupation of
heights north of Yonllntsa by Cos
sacks, before a detachment of which
the Japanese fell hack.
British Vesseta Are Detained.
London. July 111. Tho Daily Mall's
Adoti correspondent says that tho
Uritlsh steamer Woodcock and Dal
matia were hold up by tho Russians
lu the Rod oa and detained for three
hours, lu St. Petersburg correspond
ent says that two more steamers of
tho Russia" volunteer fleet, now at
Odessa, have received confidential or
ders to leave this week for the Red
aea and to seize Hritihh vessels which
re alleged to bo carrying contraband
of war.
London, July 20. Once again tho
leading English newspapers editorial
ise In the (travest tones on the Rus
sian seizure of Itritish vessels. Even
the conservative Standard declares
that the nation looks to the foreign of
fice to take more effectual action than
the ordinary conventions of diplomatic
Intercourse prescribes. "The ease Is
not one for fastidious treatment. If
nothing Is done officially to relieve
the painful strain, the Irritation of
this country may rtow Into stubborn
resentment. We cannot, even for the
sake of peace, sit down under a series
of unditiRuisedly provocative meas
ures."
A similar warlike tone pervades ftl
most every other paper. Tho Morning
Post says Oreat Hrltaln cannot tol
erate the selrure of the steamship
Malacca, "except by the abandonment
of ber self-respect as a great power.
Russians Blow Up a Fort
Che Poo, July 20. A Junk with
eight Russians and fifty Chinese on
hoard arrived here, five days from
Port Arthur. The Russians refused
to talk, but the Chinese say that on
July 11 and 12 the Japanese raptured
and occupied with t.000 met one of
the eastern forte near Port Arthur,
Before reinforcements arrived the
Russians cut off the 4,000 troops In the
fort and exploded mines, which re
sulted In the killing of every Japan
se soldier there, The Chinese also
report that tha night before they left
Port Arthur a Russian torpedo boat
aunk a merchant ship, mistaking It for
a Japanese transport. The steamer

Wakhlngtou, July 2u. The foliowiug
the summary of the weather bu
reau's weekly crop report: Corn has

favorable weather conditions and hoa
made rapid growth generally U all
district. Very few uufavorable re
port respecting this croy are re
ceived, lu the Missouri valley corn
baa, however, suffortJ somewhat from
luck of cultivation.
Letter weather for harvesting win
ter wheat prevailed than In the pre
ceding week, and this work has made
generally satisfactory progress, al
though still delayed by moisture in
portions of Kansas.
Harvesting ts practically completed
In Missouri and Nebraska. Compara
tively few reports of sprouting In
shock and of damage by mold are re
ceived this week.
As a whole both early and late
spring wheat have advanced satisfac
torily, the least favorable reporta be
ing received from northern Minnesota,
where the crop on lowlands Is thin
and Ute. Some report of Injury by
rust are received from Nebraska, and
In portions of South Dakota the out
look is somewhat less favorable than

Jury to oats by rust continue from tho
lower Missouri valley, but this crop
has advanced favorably, harvest be
ing In general progress In the central
valleys and middle Atlantic states,
with satisfactory yields.
RUSH TO YANKTON CONTINUE8.
Landseikere Register by Thousands.
Railroads Taxed to Utmost.
Yankton, S. D., July 19. The gigan
tic land msh at Yankton haa devel
oped Into almost a stampede. Thirty
three thousand had registered up to
the closing last night The day'i rec
ord was 5,053. The fever for land
seems te have taken potaeeslon of
thousands who heretofore had not
thought of coming here to register.
The crush In the city and on tratna M
simply Indescribable. Railroad offi
cials say they have more than they
can possibly haul to Yankton. Lines
of people were still two blocks long
at the closing tlmo. The Northwest

people. Notaries work all night.
