WASHINGTON -Vice Admiral Kam
imura of tlie Japanese navy, in a dis- i
patch to the Japanese legation here,
under date of Friday, says:
"According to the report from the
torpedo flotilla, which was sent for
the purpose of rescuing the crews of
the steamers sent to Idock up the har
bor at Fort Arthur, the steamer Hoko
huh on the left side of the entrance
of the harbor near the lighthouse and
the steamer Bushin outside the en- j
trance were sunk purposely by the
Japanese by explosion. The steamers
Tenshine, Buyo and Jinsen sunk them
selves on the east of tlie* Lao Leshan.
All the crews of these steamers were
picked up safely. Our destroyers and
torpedo flotilla are unharmed. On the |
night of February 24 our destroyers
again went on a scouting cruise near
Port Arthur, Dalny and Pigeon Bay.
"On February 25 our main squadron '
approached Port Arthur and bombard
ed the enemy's men-of-war and forts
from a distance. We saw the Novik.
the Askold and the Bayan fleeing into
the harbor, it thus being apparent that
the blockading operation had not
much effect. Our squadron then iired
into the habror and saw flames and
considerable smoke. We withdrew
after fifteen minutes’ shelling. While
our cruisers were thus engaged in fir
ing. we saw one of the enemy’s tor
pedo iioats destroyed. Our squadron
received no damt"e.

amendments were ruled out on point • 1

tion of r.rmor plate in the discretion
of the secretary of the navy. An in

the eight-hour law applied to all ship
construction. . he contest over sub \
marine boats was exciting and an
amendment, was adopted which leave
the question of the type of boat ope- 1
lint increases the amount of the ap
propriation for such boats. The mi
nority failed to secure a record vote
on the proposal to recommit with in
structions, the proposed instructions
being declared out of order.

! IN A PRAIRIE LAND.
[Editoiiai Correspondence.]
Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.
Farmers' Review,
Chicago. July 22, 1903.
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly fr. irn horizon to hori
zon as yet unmarred by the hand of
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there if
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for soma
distance.
“Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. It is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern termi
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose—either for tilling or ranch
ing.
"Moose Jaw is a town of over 2,000
Inhabitants, and one of the most im
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming coun
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
“Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go band in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
"In riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. . The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily w here planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
“Stories were told the writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
of the large crop and high price for
w heat last year."—Henry F. Thurston.
By sending your address to any
agent of the Canadian Government
you w ill hat e mailed to you a copy of

There are two sides to every story
The victory you win means defeat for

It is the man who plays to the sal

Storekeepers report that the extra
quantity, together with the superior
quality of Defiance Starch makes It
next to impossible to sell any other
brand.
