sury to guard against placing un- j
duo significance on certain indi- .
? . 11
cutiong which have arisen in the j.
last few days tending to show the
J O C1
possibilityof b ringing far eastern
hostilities to an end by direct lie
gotialions. It is impossible to 11
ignore these indications, because
they come from oliicial soum s, 1
both at Toklo and St. Petersburg w
The question really is whether the th
lesson of repeated reverses basin- n
ducod a change of heart on the "i
part of Russia.
It was announced two days ago a
from Tokio that as soon as Port he
Arthur was taken Japan would gi
make peace overtures Tins ar
Would be quite in lino with the *h
well known moderation of the ItJapanese
policy, and it may he w
assumed that the offer will bo th
made sincerely and with every of- 11,1
fort not to offend Russian pride. t.b
Now comes another official aunoun g>
cement from St. Petersburg, con* cr
veyed in the foil > ving brief dispatch,
sent late yesterday after, ly
noon by the Sun correspondent*
"Rewarding the report of mediation
from Kiel and other sources,
the foreign office has announ- ^
ced that Russian will consider only
proposals directly from Japan." ^
It would perhaps bo assuming
loo much to accept the obvious in |j"
ference that overtures from Japan
. . w
at the present moment would re
ceive consideration at St. Petersburg,
but the dispatch tends itself c'
to such an interpretation. It is
no longer possible to doubt that
the Russian cause is not only in
desperate straits at Port Arthur, nf
but that Gen Kuropatkin's whole g0
army is in grave danger of cap n(
lure or destruction, either imme~ w
diately, or, if climatic conditions cj,
prevent, them six weeks hence, os
when the rainy season is finished.
This must be fully recognizod
even by the arrogant lenders of
the Russian war party.

j.mu loss or i'ort Arthur lias to ?l
a certain extent been discounted
in Russia, but such an appalling S!
blow as disaster to Gen.Ivuropat- a
kin's great army would be more B
than any regime could endure. ar
The dilemma for Minister of nr
the Interior de Phelve and his as- to
sociates is the most desperate con* fo
ceivablc, because all reasons for
prolonging the war indetinitely, fi
which havo been described in lu
tjiese despatches, still hold good, bt
If therefore, the exigencies of the or
situation force them to consider le
peace proposals it moan* that a w
domestic crisis is impending in in
Russia of greater importance and d<
interest than the present war it- ill
self. ly

Disastrous Hail Storm in York <

Rock Hill, July 2.?What is l
pronounced tho most destructive ;
hail storm thai has taken place in I
that section iu years, visited a i
strip said to have been about one J
and a half miles wide, and at this
time of unknown length, in which J
I
the town of Clover is located, this (
i ^
afternoon at about 2:30, and al- ' ^
most totally annihilated every
thing in i?s path in the way of i >4
vegetation. Your correspondent j 1
has just had a talk over tho phono j
with Mr. M L Smith of Clover, j(
who said that the hail was tho ^
heavient ho had over seen, and j
that tho stones wcro of about the :
size of partridge eggs. The storm ! -j
is known to have commenced at a i
point about one milo wost of Clo- c
ver, and to have extended at least
eight miles east, beyond those
distances not having yet been
heard from. Farmers, whose cotton
crops were in the storm's
path, who have made casual examination
as to tho damage, estimate
that they cannot now make exceeding
one fourth of an average
crop. The outlook in that par4!

for a full crop, had not l>ccn so

storm was accompanied by heavy
rain and much wind. S. M. (Jr.
