YOKOHAMA DISPATCH GIVES DE- '
TAILS OF DESTRUCTION BY
RUSSIANS OF THE KNIGHT
COMMANDER.
YOKOHAMA, .Tilly 20.?Captain '
Brown, of the steamship Tsinan, ^
which brought the crew of the steam- j
er Knight Commander into port today,
says the Knight Commander met i
three Russian war ships at half past 1
seven o'clock on Saturday morning ^
off the province of Iztt. The Russian A
officers who boarded the Knight Com- f
mander took her captain back with
c
them and ordered the crew of the ^
Knight Commander to come on board ^
one of the Russian war ships within j
ten minutes. The Russians then sank \
the Knight Commander. a British t
steamer ladened with American
goods.
An officer from the Russian fleet. ?
said the Knight Commander would c
not heave to until four shots had been
fired. The Russian officers boarded -j
and asked for whiskey and offered to c
pay for a few bottles. s
The Vladivostock fleet was last re- t
ported at the mouth of Tokio Bay and
developments are momentarily expected.
Great indignation is mani- ^
fested over the sinking of the Knight {Commander.
j g
At three o'clock in the afternoon j
the Russian vessels met the Tsinan t
and transferred the crew of the t
Knight Commander to- this vessel. An 'J
Indian boatswain of the Knight Com- \
mander says the Russians boasted J
that besides sinking the Knight Com- *
mander and halting the Tsinan they
had sunk two small Japanese vessels, T
and that before meeting the Knight r
Commander they had captured a Ger- i
man steamer, believed to be the Ara- z
bia, belonging to the Hamburg-Amer- 1
ican line, and the Cheltenham, a Brit- f
ish vessel. The Russians said they n
had plenty of coal. c
Before leaving the Tsinan Captain r
Brown was ordered to blow off steam L
and not to move his vessel until the c
Russians had disappeared over the r
horizon. When last seen at sevon '*
o'clock in the evening, the Russian
war sliips were steaming in a south- ^
easterly direction, toward the mouth n
of Tokio Bay. The American Trading j
Company, agents at Yokohama for a
the Knight Commander, deny that the n
vessel had any contraband on board c
according to her manifest. a
The three Russian war ships which v
sank the Knight Commander are re- a
ported by Captain Brown to be crowd- j1
ed with men. Their bottoms are full
and they look grimy and ugly. The c
Russian vessels are thought to be 0
short of prize crews. The Tsinan fl
brought in some passengers, including I
women and children from Australia. s
Americans are anxious concerning
the possible fate of the Corea, belong- ^
ing to the Pacific Mail Steamship ^
Company, and the American steamer
Shawmut, which left Puget Sound on n
fitly 1G for Hong Kong. The Yoko- a
tama agent of the Pacific Mail Steam- jt
ship Company cabled a warning to r<
he Corea at Midway Island. It is o:
tot known whether either of these
steamers carry contraband.
The sinking of the Knight Comman- cl
ler without a trial is regarded as an ?
mwarranted act, affording grounds _
or apprehension as to the treatment

CLOUD BAROMETERSJ
HOW TO FORETELL THE WEATHER
BY LOOKING OVERHEAD.
Clri-un Is tlie Highest of All Clontls,
anil Camolas In 3!it<-h the DlRgesi
of Any Form of- Clou.l?The Wettent
Cloud of All In Minlius.
"It is clouding up. It must be going
to rain." This is a remark you may
tiear constantly, and few people seem
to realize that the one thing is by no
means a consequence of the other.
True, all clouds are composed of water
rapoy, but it Is absurd to imagine that
because clouds become visible In the
sky tliey are therefore going to discharge
their contents upon our heads.
On the contrary, some clouds are
actually prophets of fine weather. Cirrus,
for instance, or curl cloud, as It is
jften picturesquely called, is, as a rule,
t flue weather harbinger. Cirrus is
:he highest of all clouds. You can tell
.1?i. v... cf +ho+ Jtu thfn frvlstT
.11UL UJ UlC fc luuv - - - ,
Sbrous streaks are illuminated by the
ast rays of the setting sun long after
:ke earth below is wrapped in shadow.
Threads and groups of cirrus clouds,
:he liner the better, appearing after a
?ale. presage a long continuance of
settled weather. On the other hand,
f after several fine days cirrus appears
n long parallel bands stretching right
lcross the sky in the form popularly
vnowrj as "mares* tails," there will almost
certainly be a change of wind
md probably rain to follow.
Unlike 'other clouds, cirrus is composed
not of water vapor, but of tiny
rystals of ice. You can tell by its
motion what the pace and direction
>f the highest current of wind. Quiety
as it appears to be moving, careful
)bservation has proved that cirrus
;omothnes travels at the rate of a mile
11 eighteen seconds.
Another l'onn of cloud which is
tsually an accompaniment of fine.
>varm weather are those cottonlike.
vhitSsli balls which are scientifically
ermed cumulus.
Early in the morning of a fine suniner
day cumulus begins to form as a
*ew soft, scattered specks in the blue
ibove. These specks grow and enlarge
vithout, as a rule, traveling very fast,
'or they are formed by vapor ascendng
from the earth in columns. By
?arly afternoon they often cover the
.vliole sky, but toward 4 or 5 o'clock
boy usually decrease and finally vansh
by sunset. If they behave in this
vay you may be almost certain that
he ensuing twenty-four hours will be
Ine.
On the other band, if the cumulus
louds increase toward sunset, turn
duck in their centers and shine at the
;dges with an angry light, rain will
oilovv. or, in very hot weather, thunder.
Thunder is specially foretold by the
aim u I us clouds showing rounded.
;harply rra.&xed tops with silvery white
jdges. Cumulus, which turns vonlark
with black, shaggy edges, means
:okl rain accompanied by wind.
Cumulus is much the biggest of any ,
orrn of cloud. A single cloud of this
Inscription will measure six of* even
;even miles from its fiat, dark base to |
ts rounded, glistening summit?that it
o say. its bulk and height far exceed
hose cf . earth's greatest mountains.
L'he temperature in such a cloud as
his lias been measured to vary over
lZO degrees?that is. from SO degrees
'ahrenheit at the base to 75 degrees
jelow zero at its summit.
Stratus=*is still another form of cloud
vliich presents no special indication of ,
ain. It is more common at night than
n the day and consists of long, kori- :
ioiirni minus or aaiAisn ciuuu. w.eca
io very low and near the earth's srirace.
It rises on calih. clear evening
if tor warm days and may often be ,
een in mountainous districts slowly
reeping up the hillsides. If the sun
ises through layers of stratus it is
isually a sign of a fine, warm day to
omo. After sunrise, stratus, as a rule,
ises higher into the air and slowly disppears.
In early summer, when the weather is
howery. you may perhaps notice, i
hrougli breaks in the rain ciouds. an i
ppearance of dense white cloudlets
u small, irregular tufts brightly irr.idited
by sunshine. The children call it
nackerel sky. Its real name is clrro
umulus, and it is a sure sign of heat
nd probably fine weather. Seen ir. 1
rinter, mackerel sky portends a thaw ]
nd wet. mild weather. It is the next
ighest cloud to the cirrus and is soai.v .
Imes called sonder cloud.
A sure prophet of wind and rain is
irro stratus or vane cloud. It consists (
f long, thin clouds with torn edges
ying at a great height above the earth,
t is dull in color and irregular In
hapc.
The wettest cloud, of all is nimbus, *
To !r? ito mnet fi-ntn ^
uring v. ib.vhy3.erstcv*t?t v. 1\ v.dvtjy?C
otlicr clouds, a dense black or gray
beet which often appears to come up
gainst the wind. Usually when it first
ppears driving up over the horizon
s edges are fringed and tipped with
filing masses of cumulus. The most
minc.us sign about a nimbus cloud is
hen its advancing summit is tipped
"1 tli a mass of dense, white, smoky
loud, which seems to roll over and
ver. This is an omen of severe elec ical
disturbance and a furious squall.

JOLLIFFfe'S STORE ATTRACTS ATTENTION
TO-DAY?W. J. MILLER
IS THE MANAGER OF
THIS POPULAR PLACE
OF BUSINESS.
G. L. Jolliffe, -who now lives at
Grafton, is a son of the late Zodac
Jolliffe. of this city, and brother of
Sheriff M. A. Jolliff, of this county. He
was bora in this city and received
his first training as a merchant in
Virginia, where he clerked for several
years. Eight years ago he set up a
little store in Grafton. People soon
found it a good place to deal, and
his trade soon began to grow and
the progress was so rapifl that to-day
he owns one of the largest and most
comnlete ladies' and children's furn- ,
ishing stores in Grafton. Mr. Jolliffe
himself is manager of this store.
Two years ago Mr. Jolliffe purchased
the store in this city, situated in
the Skinner building, and which had
been run until a few months previous
by Martin Brothers. In this store
also is kept a full line of ladies' and
children's furnishings. This store at
the present time is under the management
of \V. J. Miller, of Marietta, O.,
but. who has, for several years previous
to his coming here, been in the
same business in Parkersburg. He *
knows what is needed to be done in
such a store and does it. This is one
of the most popular stores for women
in the city. '
PARKER HAD NO COMMENT.

I nr~+ o \A/a e Satififar.tnpv +n
lence as to ms election in wovemuer,

lim through the party leaders in all
he States. He has had a number of
conferences with most prominent ReDublicans
in the last few weeks, and
ill of them think the election is as;ured
to the Republicans without
ptestion.
Senator J. B. Foraker, who is about
o start on a trip extending across
his country into the Hawaiian
slands. is in the city completing arangements
to go. The Senator, accompanied
by his family and secreary,
will leave Cincinnati for San
francisco, stopping at interesting
daces along the way. At San Francisco
a boat will be taken to the Havaiians.
He will not return until the
ipening of the speaking, campaign
