riERR-fi. a D.. July 4. t Special Tele
gram.) Instead of the Bala day which had
been planned by the people at Fort Pierre
today, wreck and desolation Is their por
tion. . The residence section of the place,
which was south of Bad river, waa swept
yesterday by a flood In Bad river which
took most of the people out of their houses
i to places of safety, and about midnight last
night the crest of the flood swept houses
1 and contents into the yellow waters of the
' swollen Missouri. All told, about fifteen
buildings went down the stream, most of
them residences, carrying all the contents.
The heaviest losers In this way were: M.
P. Kennedy, $3,000; Marvin Wood, I3.0OO;
: Mrs. Ruth Jackson. S2.5u0; Wal

which were swept away, those of Dr. Lav- i
ery, - Boguss Fathleson and a number of
others were wrecked so that they will have
to be rebuilt, and the contents are ruined.
The steel bridge across Bad River was car
ried out and sunk In the main channel of
the Missouri about 100 yards below the
mouth of Bad river. While It is not certain
that any lives were lost, several parties
are missing and have not been located up
to the present time, but as many people
are camped In tents on the bluffs south of
the torrent, the missing may be among
them. There Is no communication except
by boat down the Missouri. On the north
side of the river a number of business
places were flooded by the Missouri and
Bad rivers, the losses being principally to
merchants with stocks In basements. The
loss up the Bad river valley must be heavy.
but the roads are In such condition from
swollen streams that no reports have yet
come In. It Is the worst flood ever known
on that stream, the oldest residents of Fort
Pierre falling to recall anything which
equaled It. Both rivers are falling at pres
ent, and It Is hopd that the worst Is over.
Houses Float Away.
Bad river has been a center of attention
for Pierre residents all day, the excursion
boats being crowded on every trip, while
the smaller streams runidng Into that river
are In such a condition that It la almost
Impossible to travel. Occasional reports from
up the stream Indicate heavy damage for
miles. One family drifted down the stream
in a floating house for about ten miles
before It lodged and they were taken out
In boats Just a short distance from the
Missouri.
A rescue party has gone up the stream
to where two people, supposed to be J. N.
Pough.s and his wife, have been In trees
since yesterday morning.
With the torrent coming down practically
half the cltlsens of Fort Pierre are without
homes tonight and many are penniless.
While the people of that town and Ierre
will do all they can to relieve the distress.
It Is too great to handle locally, and Mayor
C. J. Lavery has appointed Warren Young
and Anton Fischer to act with himself as
a committee to solicit aid for those who
must have It, and they are soliciting con
tributions generally, which can be sent to
either of these men at Fort Pierre. While
the water Is receding, much of the town Is
yet flooded. Many narrow escapes are re
ported, but no deaths are yet known of as
a certainty,
"Reports from up the river would Indicate
the high waters at Fort Pierre to be the
result of local conditions," Kid Forecaster
Welsh. "At Bioux City there has been a
slight rise, with slight fall at Omaha, Blair
and Plattsmouth. Such a flood as that at
i Frt Pterrs would probably dislals tat ore
reaching this point, unless greatly rein
forced by heavy rains farther south."

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4.-1:80 p. m.
With the completion of the arrangements
for the Washington peace meeting Presi
dent Roosevelt has resumed his efforts to
bring about an armistice. No light Is
thrown on the exact status of the negoti
ations and the character of the communica
tions passing between the Russian and
Japanese and Washington governments.
The matter Is a delicate one, but the out
look for success from all Information ob
tainable is not unpromising if Japan Is
ready to sheath the sword until the Wash
ington meeting develops whether a basis
for peace Is possible. Russia's consent
seems assurred. In diplomatic circles It
Is felt that Great Britain could render
service by timely advice to Its ally, but
so far as known England Is not supporting
President Roosevelt's efforts. Should the
president be able to successfully arrange
the preliminaries It appears certain that
actual negotiations for an armistice will
be concluded directly between Field Mar
shal Oyama and General Llnevltch on the
battlefield In Manchuria.

the headquarters of the Japanese army in
Corea:
At dawn on July 2 400 of the enemy's
cavalry, with artillery, approached Noro
mok, on the Puryorg road, six miles north
of Yusyong. Our force engaged and re-
tmlsed them northward, Inflicting heavy
oss. In the meantime our detachment
made a detour far northward for the pur
pose of cutting off the enemy's retreat
and engaged the enemy's infantry at noon,
fourteen miles north of Tusiiong. Our de
tachment also struck and scattered the
enemy's cavalry retrentlng from Noromok.
The following dispatch was received from
the Japanese army In Manchuria:
At 8 o'clock In the morning of July 1
600 of the enemy's cavalry advanced to
ward the 1'lnnlu river, thirteen mllas north
east of Kangpli.. We repulsed them. One
hundred and fifty of the enemy's cavalry
and mounted Infantry with eighteen guns
simultaneously attacked Shlshlku, eight
miles northeast of the Plnnlu river. The
engagement lasted until dawn July 2, when
the enemy was repulsed. The enemy's
casualties were over 400. Ours were
ninety.
Japanese Battleship Launched.
LONDON, July 4. Princess Arlsuwaga
of Japan, who was accompanied by the
prince, her husband, launched the Japa
nese battleship Katorl at Barrow today.
The Katorl Is one of the most powerful
battleships launched in this country. Its
tonnage Is 16.UO0, its coal capacity 2,1(0
tons and its contract speed 18 knots. The
side armor of the Katorl la nine Inches
thick. Ten thousand spectators viewed the
launching ceremony. Pigeons were lib
erated from a balloon on the ship's bows
as an emblem of peace and good will.
Prince Arlsuwaga In a speech at the
luncheon which followed the launching re
marked that while the Katorl would not
be available during the present deplorable
war, it would help to guarantee future
peace In far eastern waters and uphold
the national dignity of Japan.
Llnevltch Chases Japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 4.-General
Llnevltch, telegraphing to Emperor Nicho
las under date of July 3, reports the an
nihilation of a Japanese battalion. He
says:
On Jnly 1 our force assumed the offensive
against the enemy, occupying a position
near the village of Sauvaltuse, sixteen
miles south of I.lao Choupen. At T in the
evening, after the artillery had prepared
the way, the enemy's fortified positions
were stormed and we pursued him for
three miles. One Japanese Infantry bat
talion was destroyed.
Rsros Hosen at Kew York.
NEW YORK. July 4. "Please deny for
me that I have given out any Interview cn
politics," were almost the first words of
Baron Rosvn, the new Russian ambassador
to America, to a representative of the As
sociated Press as the Kaiser Wllhelm il
was moored at its dock In Hoboken today.
"When I received the American newspa
per reports," he said, "I observed that a
FrsucU bsws a,eucjf attrlbuWd t die aa
interview, quoting me as saying that Rus
sia is willing to pay the expenses of the
war within certain limits. I wish you to
deny this for me, and also deny Hist I have
ever given out any Interview or expressed
publicly any opinion of a political nature.
Please say that and nothing more, and I
will be much pleased."
Baron Rosen succeeds Count Casslnl as
American ambassador for Russia to the
United States, and Is also named as one of
Russia's peace plenipotentiaries. The baron
does not come to the United States as a
stranger, as he served his country as
charge d'affalrs at Washington during the
first administration of President Cleveland.
Since his last stay In America the baron
has been minister at Toklo, and held that
post at the outbreak of the war.
