I 1 WASHINGTON HAS GREAT CROP yk* ""T^r**- THIRTY MTLIJION BUSHFJ PStE- .__', IOTED FOB THE SttJATB. Granaries Swept Clear of Qptf Stoertts and New Wheat Needed for the MillsReports from Other Sections JSHi' of the Northwest Wheat.Belt. Special to Thi Journal. Seattle, Wash.. Aug IXWashington's wheat crop for 1904' proniJses' to be one of the largest on record. The total, It is predicted, will be from 25^000,000 to 30,- 000,000 bushels. Th yield for the north western states is placed at not less than bO.OOO.OOO bushels. Last year's crop was not a banner yield, and a great demand, as a result of the Japanese war and the ever inciwasing do mestic consumption, has swept the gra n aries bare. Almost all the old wheat is gone and the millers will have difficulty in obtaining enough to keep their plants busy until the new grain begins to reach them. On Oct. 1 the duty on flour Will be in creased about $1.75 cents a ton. and the steamship companies have advanced the freight rat es $1 a ton, making the in crease to the importers $2.7E, a notice able amount on each ton of flour. Continued discrepancy between the Chicago and Liverpool markets makes it possible that Washington wheat may be shipped directly across the continent to the Chicago pit. If Chicago would ac cept Washington wheat on board of trade business this plan might be worked, but the coast product has never been recog nized. A present heavy charter rates and the refusal of foreign markets to keep pace with Chicago's enthusiastic lead have made it impossible for the coast market to follow Chicago's figures closely. O. I S PREPARING Freight Department Expects a Un commonly Heavy Grain Traffic. Bpeoial to The Journal. Winnipeg, Man., Aug. .11."While noth ing of a radical nature in regard to the movement of the crop has been done yet by the Canadian Pacific railroad we are working quietly on preparations to handle one of the largest outputs of wheat that the west has ever experienced?' These were the-words of W Peters, general freight argent of the Canadian Pacifio railroad tntts morning. "The prosepects for the crop." continued Mr. Peters, "ar mast encouraging and the conditions have been magnificently favor able so far. All that is necessary now is that there should be no frost for the next wo weeks, and withV that concession from the weather we will hasve a return that will beat that of 1902 all the way Now, of course, is the critical period, but so far in the month there has been no trouble from the sources that are usually feared and the indications are that there will be no damaging frost." RICE COUNTY I N CLOVER Wheat a Fine Crp and Other Prod ucts Are Promising. Bpeoial to The Journal. Faribault, Minn., Atag. 11.Harvesting In Rice county is well under way, and it is apparent that the yield will be much above the average. Wheat wfill be a splendid crop, and yields of from thirty to thirt y five bushels to the acre will be the rule rather than the exception. Barley is either in the stack or threshed, and of that cleaned up the berry is reported in prime condition and the yield large. Corn is backward, but looking fine. Unless af fected by frost, there will be a large yield. Potatoes give promise of yan aibundant yield and are sound and dry. From what have been gathered for the early market, it is judged that yields of 200 to 300 bushels to the acre will not be uncom mon. Th hay crop was heavy and of extra quality. MACARONI STANDS THE TEST Big Boom for theNe Wheat in North Dakota. Bpeoial to The Journal. Fargo, N D., Aug 11.Macaroni wheat has received another big boom in this state, as a result of the discovery that it Is practically immune., from the black rust. Th state is being invaded* by the rust at the rate of about two miles north ward daily. Fields are reported almost ruined as far north as the Great North ern roa.'n line west, th the damage is not s rious at this date north of the Northern Pacific main line. Much of the wheat south of that territory will yield a fine crop, but many fields are being plowed and no effort will be made to harvest others. Fife wheat has suffered more than any other kind from the rust. Th blue stem has been injured less severely, while in I VOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT AILS YOU the U.

Spopial to The Journal. Sioux City, Iowa, Aug 11.Reports from numerous sources establish beyond doul-.t that the wheat crop about Sioux City is practically a failure. Th largest yield expected is from twelve to fifteen bushels an acre, and scarbely anjr* of it will'grade better than No. 8. Some fields will not be cut at all. The estimate of the yield in northwest ern Iowa and South Dakota is from eight to ten bushels to the acre.

N Lukes, cashier of the Security National bank,- who returned today from South Dakota, says the damage there amounts to 50 per cent. Th loss has been caused by blight and rust.

Chj-fu, Aug. 11.The Russian fleet emerged from Port Arthur at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning. I is stated that only the smaller Japanese vessels en gaged and pursued it. The pursuit lasted two hours 'and a half. The hos? pital ship Mongolia, carrying womer! arid children Daily Attacks by Japs. reported that the recent' firing heard at Chi-fu evidently came from Port Arthur, where the Japanese con tinue to attack daily with scarcely less energy than they manifested during the severe three days' fighting the latter part of July. The Japanese line, he said, now ex tends from the north shore of Louisa bay to a point immediately east of Tai-che bay about seven miles east of Port Arthur. The Japanese are, he allege d, wasting lives with reck less courage. Their positions are fre quently lost, retaken, then lost and retaken again. Captain Shestakovsky reports that a Japanese cruiser and a gunboat were injured or sunk during the, past week. is not positive, however, that they sank. _.- RTJSS DESTROYER DISARMED O Demand of Chinese Admiral, the Fugitive I Dismantled. Chi-fu, Aug. 11.Shortly after the arrival of the Russian warship Ryeshitelni here the Chinese admiral, Sah, sent an officer on board who Re manded that the destroyer either leave the port or disarm. I had previously been ascertained that her engines were disabled. The, captain of the Ryeshitelni agreed to render the engines absolutely useless and to disarm in such a manner as Admral Sah demanded. The captain of the Ryeshitelni re quested the .Chinese admiral. to indi cate a position near the shore where the destroyer might lie till the end of the war under the protection of the Chinese government. The Ryeshitelni shows'' the effects of long servic e. Her paint is scratched and fading to a yellow, owing to ex posure to the sun, and her deck re sembles a machineshopbu she has not been damaged by gunfire, altho it is stated that the ship was exposed constantly for three months to the fire of the Japanese. The passengers of the Ryeshitelni include two women, one of whom is said to be the wife of General Stdes sel. This, however, is denied. '_. FLEET O ABANDON HARBOR Movements of Russian Destroyer S Viewed in Washington. Washington, Aug. 11.Advices have been received here that ia Russian torpedoboat destroyer, which put into Chi-fu, has made a request of the Chinese admiral that it be permitted to disarm and remain, and that the request is under -consideration. The news is taken here as an indication that the Russian fleet has decided per-^ manently to abandon Port Arthur, for otherwise the torpedoboat destroyer could have obtained a supply of coal at Chi-fu sufficient to haye returned hereto that fortress The boat, it is believed, is not destirjfed for further service during the present war, for that would be the only condition un der which the "Chinese government could allow her take shelter at Chi fu.

A official source here reports the sighting of sixteen Russian* warships la st night in the vicJtiity of Chi-f u. I is alleged that the Russian hospital ship Mongolia, carrying women and children, which left Port Arthur with the squadron, ,will go to Shanghai. The Russian battleship Retvisan was hit seventeen times during the re cent bombardment of Port Arthur, but was only slightly damaged, Firo on Dockyards. The Japanese fleet has been direct ing its fire against the dockyards at port Arthur.. One hundred, shells dropped in a spot where a powder magazine had recently been removed. The Japanese are reported to be lacking in sufficient large guns. The present supply is mostly from the fleet. Captain Shestakovsky of the Rus sian torpedo destroyer Ritsitelini, which emerged from Port Arthur with the fleet- Wednesday morning, and which' arrived here early this morning* states that his engines broke down when was midway between Chi-fu and Port Arthur. proceeded at a speed of 12 knots to this port. says he saw no Japanese vessels. confirms previous statements that the large Russian warships had left Port Arthur, but refused to say directly that the fleet had gone on an extended cruise, but left the infer ence in the course of a long interview that the warships expect to join the Vladivostok Squadron, which he said had been recruited by the purchase of ships from the Argentine Republic. Captain Shestakovsky said, further, that the Russian torpedoboats, gun boats and small craft generally re mained at Port Arthur. Some came out to perform their usual duties in the vicinity, but they did not follow the big ships. vast A -t' i "-i W^'^'^^k ST/ PETERSBURG I N iARK Officials Unable to Decide What Was the Result of Sorti e.

Hall, commis sioner of health ipa report submitted to the city council this afternoon. Ever since the city council turned down the offer of G. Akeley, to make a substantial donation for the conversion of the old city hall into a publie bathhouse, Dr. Hall has been investigating the subpect of public bathhouses and the results are em bodied in a comprehensive report. While approving the general pur pose of outdoor baths, such as those established by the park board.at Lake Calhoun, and by other municipalities along rivers and at the seashore', he maintains that, from a sanitary stand pointy every city should have several bathing establishments a which bathing can be enjoyed for 365 days in the year." The average small boy does hot go into the water for sanitary reasons, but simply for a frolic. I his report Dr. Hall refers to the three Walters' baths recently estab lished at Baltimore, the" five indoor baths in Chicago and the indoor baths of Boston and New York, which ahve been open for some time. The tend ency, he declares, is toward indoor bathing and in all cities where the plan has had fair trial the bathing Institutions are practically self-sup porting. Dr. Hall is convinced that they can be made self-sustaining: here. recommends that the council take immediate steps 1 for the estab lishment of three public baths,' oiie each for the East, North and South sides. Upon the receipt ,o the report, Alderman Nye presented a resolution appropriating $15,000 for building the three bathhouses requested by the commissioner of health.
