(a uuodred native Christians being killed. | Loxpox, July 18.—The Dailey Mail publishes s despateh from St. Petersburg waich asserts that there is nodoubt that China haa declared war against Russia.

The Ruseian press says taat the corres - pondence is :estricted to{the publication ot officia! detaile, and the publication of many despatches from the front has been prohibited.

I hear that Chinese troops and the Boxers seized a European transpert vessel laden witu muniitions, near Aiguo,on the Amur River about 18 miles from the Russian frontier, killing almost entirely the Russian escorts. They next suddenly attacked and bombarded the town of Blagove Chensk, capital of the Amar The government held out bravely but Nearly all perished and the town was burned.

The secretary’s answer was not made public, but Minister Wu fears the destruc~ tion has already occurred. He regards the cablegram as perfectly authentic. The reported massacre of the foreigners lat Pekin occurred on July 7th.

A Bad Ship

Wasainetoy, July 7.—In anawer to an order from the navy department to report upon the powers and capabilities of the New Orleans, Captain Ida and his officers have sutmitted a jot of data showing in

ubstance that the vereel suffers from & lack of proper ventilati n; that her uiag zin-- ere dangerously overbeated ; and that her engines are defeciive in sever- al reepecia The wmagszine temperatures run from 95 to 98 degrees, near the dang - er point of cordite which ‘s carried as ammunition.

Big Crops

Estimates of the ful! wheat crop of tue

United States, based upon the last Govern- | ° : . - i ment report, indicate a yield varying from

470 millian to 510 million buehe's, The actual crop in 1899 was 547 millions ; in 1898, 675 millions and in 1897, 538 mil- lions ; so we are likely to have the smal!- est crop of the Jast four years. The esti- mates of the corn crop average about 2,200,000,009 bushels, whicn if realized will be tue second heaviest crop on record. It ie, however, too early to indulge in ay reliable calculations as to the corn crop. Under favorable conditions it might ex- ceed theee figures, and with unfavorable circumstances it would very jikely fall short The cotton report ehowed an average Ccon- dition of only 75.8 compared with an average of 87.9 for the past ten years. In view of the fact that the acreage of cotton is the largeeton record and futures are are now selling at. big advance, is ‘s probable that the money valueof be 190)- 1901 crop will far exceed amy sear on record, a ee We havea line of ladies bicycle boots we wish to clear out, they were $2.25 we are going to sell them for $1.00 a pair; here is your chance fora bargsin.
