Ugly stories are i.ild of the happenings at Mada-paM-nr. Some of the crews certainly w. re untrained in gunnery, and, ex hausted by the eight months' voyage under trying moral and physical condi tions, were no match for the veteran Japanese, whose marksmanship was wonderful. The Japanese concen trated their fire on one ship until she was placed out of action and then on another, thus sucessively sinking the 0:dyba. Alexander III and Kniaz Sou varoff. Some ships developed deplor alde structural defects. The Oslyaba sank without having a single hole be low the water line.

Kven the very morning of the battle, while the buzzing of the wireless in struments on the Russian ships show ed that the Japanese scouts were com municating his dispositions to Admiral Togo. Admiral Rojestvensky continued his careless manoeuvering, and when the Japanese actually appeared the Kus: ians were cauglit in an impossible formation and were attacked on three iionts. Rojestvensky's position was tramped and his transports were bad ly placed and caused confusion. While the Japanese were training projectiles oven from machine guns on the Rus sian ships, the latter were huddled together, blanketing each other's fire. Only the leaders of the columns could brine their inms to bear, and even tbi-.l. t'.o untrained eunners fired .- e v,i To render matters worse, the mines and floating torpedoes sown in the paths of the Russian divisions add ed to the confusion. The Borodino, Admiral Nakhimoff and Navarin fell victims to these obstructions. It is a heartrending narrative, that Russia and the world should know. The sailors and officers were not al together to blame. The main fault lies elsewhere. There were many he rocs anion the Russians. Captain Berkh. oi the Oslyaba, committed sui cide on his bridge as the ship sank, rather than save himself. There were thousands of other heroes whose names the world will never know. Negro Fatally Slashes Attorney. Muskogee, I. T., Special. Following an altercation here this afternoon, a negro slashed Col.

An identical note, the text of which, by authority of the President, was made public late Friday at the White House by Secre tary Loeb, has been forwarded to the Governments of Russia and Japan by President Roosevelt. In the interest of humanity the President urges the war ring nations to conclude peace. It is suggested by the president that the ne gotiations be conducted "directly and exclusively" between the belligerent nations. The note indicates the Pres ident's belief that an intermediary may not be necessary to effect conclusive negotiations, but likewise expresses the President's willingness to do all that he properly may to promote the pre liminary arrangements for a time and place of meeting of representatives of the Russian and Japanese Govern ments. The following is the substances of the despatches given out: "On June 8th the following despatch was sent by the President through dip lomatic channels to the Japanese and Russian Governments: " 'The president feels that the time has come, when in the Interest of all mankind, he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and lamented conflict now befhg waged. With both Russia and Japan the United States has inherited ties of friendship and good will. It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each, and it feels that the progress of the world is set back by the war between these two great nations. The President accordingly urges the Rus sian and Japanese Governments not only for their own sakkes. but in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace with one another. MORTON TO HEAD EQUITABLE. Retiring Secretary of the Navy Elect ed on the Board. New York, Special. Paul Morton, who retires from the secretaryship of the navy on July 1st, was elected chair man of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. His election marks the first and most im portant step in the re-organization of the society, and was followed by the tender of the resignations of President James W. Alexander, Vice President James H; Hyde, Second Vice President flago TT! Tarlioll, Thirrl VifO Prpsiflent George T. Wilson, and Fourth Vice President William C. Mclntyre. Mr. Morton, as explained by Senator Chauncey M. Depew. was the unani mous choice of the board of directors of the Equitabble, although the meeting was not altogether harmonious. The new chairman, to further quote Senator Depew, did not consent to take office until he had received positive assuran ces that he would have a "free hand as to measures and men." Mr. Hvde "divested" himself or the majority control, but retains a substan tial interest in the society. All of the resignations submitted to the meeting are subject to the pleas ure of Chairman Morton, and none has yet been accepted. Czar Thanks Rojestvensky. St. Petersburg, By Cable. Emperor Nicholas has' cabled the following to Rojestvensky: "From my heart I thank you and all the officers of the squadron who have honorably done their duty for your un selfish work for Russia and for me. By the will of the Almighty, success was not destined to crown your endeavors, but your boundless bravery will always be a source of pride to our country. "I wish you speedy recovery. May God console you all. (Signed) "NICHOLAS." The peculiar wording of the message is attracting attention. The restriction of the Emperor's thanks to those hon orably doing their duty is fanning ugly talk regarding the surrender cf ships and the conduct of some of the crews. The messages of Admiral Enquist and Captain Chagin of the Russian cruiser Almaz did not contain any intimation of misbehavior on the part of officers or crew. Negro Hanged In Arkansas. Desarc, Ark., Special. John Frasler, a negro, was hanged here Thursday for murder of Webster Southerland, a time keeper on the Searcy- & Desarc naiirmrt last November.

St. Petersburg, By Cable. The gov ernment is plainly preparing the public for the announcement that the Em peror has decided to conclude peace and that the negotiations have begun by permitting the publication of all the foreign dispatches bearing on the sub ject.

CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1905. 1H0RTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN Conditions For Past Week Given Out by the Department. During the week ending Monday. June lC'b, 1905, the weather oa the whole was very favorable for agricul tural Interests, except that the latter part of the week was too cool for the rapid growth of crops. Although some local storms occurred on Wednesday, 7th. with hail and birh winds, which damaged crops in a few counties. namely Nash. Alamance. Vance. Franklin and Warren, there was a general absence of precipitation dar ing the week over most of the State. giving farmers an excellent and much- needed opportunity to cultivate crops and kill grass and weeds. In most of the northeastern and western counties, where the rainfall has not been exces sive, the soil has become rather dry, and upland. crops are beginning to need light rains. The mean tempera ture for the week averaged about 74 per cent., or nearly 2 degrees daily above the normal. On the 5th, 6th. and 7th the temperature was quite high, maxima above 90 degrees being generally recorded; this was the most favorable period of the week, during which crops made rapid growth; the latter portion was, however, cool enough to check growth, the tempera ture at night falling quite low. There was abundant sunshine everywhere during the week. The weather was especially favorable for farm work, which was pushed vigorously; farmers have generally succeeded in subduing grass and weeds, and most crops are now clean, well cultivated and in good condition. Harvesting operations and making hay progressed favorably. Material improvement in crops took place during the early portion of the week. Though some fields are still grassy and not chopped to stands, the larger portion of the cotton crop has been placed in a state"of excellent cultiva tion, but the crop is only doing fairly well as regards growth; the plants are mostly late, small, and much not very healthy in color; continuous warmth is needed for best development; lice have appeared on cotton in many counties. Corn is in good condition in the west, where it is being worked the third time; in many central and eastern counties, where the stands were injured by worms, the crop has not grown very rapidly, though it is improving; in the southern portion of the State laying by corn has com menced, with some of it in silk -and tassel. Planting corn on lowlands is being rapidly advanced. Tobacco is reported to be in good condition, though growing slowly. Cutting wheat continued through the week, and re- nnrio . ponflrnll v tndinatft a. .smaller yield than was expecieu; wmier uuis, rye and spring oats are more promis ing. Field peas' are being planted in most counties. Peanuts look well, but poor stands are reported in some northeastern counties, where tne weather has been very dry and rain is needed. Gardens continue to do well. Irish potatoes seem to be yield ins well in many counties, and good stands of sweet potatoes have general ly been secured. Melons are poor. A fairly large crop of peaches is prom ised, but apples have largely fallen from the trees and a poor crop is in dicated. Rains reported: Goldsboro, trace; Newbern 0.28. WTeldon 0.06. Wilming ton 0.10, Hatteras 0.20, Nashville 0.86, Greensboro 0.22, Raleigh 0.36, Marion, trace; Settle 0.09. Charlotte, Ashe ville and many other points reported no precipitation. Trolley Project. It is learned that F. H. Fries and his associates, will rapidly push the building of the railway from Winston Salem southward to Wadesboro. There appears to be a very good prospect of the building of a trolley line on the turnpike now under construction between Wllkesboro and Jefferson. There is ample water power conven iently located. It is said the road can be built for $300,000. The turnpike is not macadamized. It is so well graded that it has cost $22,000 a mile on an av erage so far, for construction, and the heaviest grading has been completed. It seems to be a sort of impression that the Southern, the Norfolk & Western, and the Seaboard Air Line are making a race to get into Southport and it is very certain that more at tention has been directed recently to the latter place than ever before. North State News. Major J. H. Mclver has resigned his position as superintendent of the con vict force at work on the Enterprise Lumber Company's road, and left last Friday to join his family in Greens boro. He is succeeded here by Mr. Waddell, who arrived last week. Ma jor Mciver has been in the service of the State for twenty-five years. He made many friends here who regret his departure.

It is learned that the Ag ricultural Department has not the power to sell the Willard farm without a special act of tne iegisiaiuxe. MAY ESTABLISH BIG VINEYARDS Northern Men Interested In Large vestments Near Fayctteville. Fayettevllle. Special. The Southern Real Estate Company has Bent to a company of Northern capitalists spec imens of Cumberland county soil adapted to viticulture. The company has already sent an agent here and purposes the planting of a very large rlneyard, with an expenditure of about $200,000. If a body of land can b found giving thorough satisfaction.

R. Rose, secretary of the chamber of commerce has written to Commissioner of Agri culture Patterson, asking that Fayette ville have a hearing on the subject; that it combines advantages for such a farm surpassed nowhere else in the State.
