GEN. STOESSEL DESCRIBES ATTACK Dispatches From the Port Arthur Commander Relate How the Fortress Was Held Against the Supreme Effort of the Japanese From Nov. 20 to Dec. 2. St. Petersburg. By Cable?Gen. Stoesiel's dispatches to the Emperor, which were received Friday night, were given out Sunday. The first is dated k*- ?- t- OfT >a n f /\11 AtL'C * i\ UVCUiUt'I" auu id ao luuvtiD. "I am happy to inform your majesty that on November 20, after an increased bombardment, the Japanese attacked one of the forts on the northeastern front and leaped with a portion of their forces on the parapet. They were annihilated by rifle fire and the bayonet and thrown back into the trenches. Their reserves were scattered by shrapnel. "From November 21 to November 23 the enemy violently bombarded the fort and, in spite of great losses, effected by their perseverance a passage between the two forts on the northeastern front. "At 5:30 o'clock in the evening of November 23, after heavy firing, the Japanese suddenly hurled themselves J against several works on this front and ; seized a portion of the trenches, but : they were thrown back by the reserves after a fierce bayonet struggle. They returned to the assault at midnight and again occupied a part of the trenches, but were annihilated by our bayonets. At 2 o'clock in the morning all was ever and vour majesty's heroic troops I were able to rest and start to repair; ing the damage. The Japanese lost more than 2,000 men. All of onr troops behaved as heroes. The following especially distinguished themselves: Generals Kondrake (commandei of the artillery) and Gorbotowsky and Lieutenant Colonel Naoumko. (A dozen other officers in lower grades are also mentioned in the dispatch.) The bombardj ment of the town and harbor continues I daily. A number of buildings have | been destroyed and the harbor has ! sustained some damage. The garrij sons are in excellent spirits." In other dispatch dated November | 27. Gen. Stoessel says: "The 26th and 27th were the bloodI iest days in the assaults on Port Arthur. The attacks began on the night of the 23th, against our left flank, near Pigeon Bay. The first was repulsed with great loss to the Japanese. The same night the enemy attacked a detachment on Panlung Mountain, but were repulsed, as also was their attack on Visokei (203-metre Hill.) "On the 26th the Japanese began to bombard and attack fiercely the forts of the northeastern front and the advanced trenches. The trenches repeatI edly chauged hands. Nevertheless, on i the night of the 26th we threw back the Japanese at the point of the bayonet. The enemy succeeded in blowing up the parapet of one of the forts and began building parallels there. At an"""" nn sarno nifftit ihflv laift i sacks along the rampart, hut our artillery dispersed them. Towards 10 ' o'clock in the evening the Japanese attacked a battery on our left flank in considerable strength, and at first obtained possession of a portion of the works, but our heroes brought bayonets into use and the Japanese retired, leaving a heap of their men. Along 1 the whole front the Japanese re-opened a violent fire against the interior of the i fortress, keeping it up until o'clock on the morning of November 27. The help which God sent us on the birthday of our mother the Czarine gave us further victory." i - ^ Snow Two Feet Deep. Newport. R.

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT Figures Showing the Astonishing Values of This Year's Crop. The Secretary of Agriculture has j ' transmitted his eighth annual report j ] to the President ; In opening his report the Secretary ! enumerates some of the more im! portant features of the year's work. I Among them are extensive cooperation j with agricultural stations; tne taking ; of preliminary steps to conduct feed; ing and breeding experiments, the ! war waged against the cotton boll wee- j j vil and against cattlo tnangc, p'an3 ; for education of engineers in road building; the production of a hardy orange, a hybrid of the Florida orange and the Japanese irifoliata; valuable iescarch in successful shipping of fruit abroad; the value of nitrogenfixing bactoria; successful introduction of plants suited to light rainfall i are:*; establishment of pure food I standards; the extension of agricul| Jural education in primary and secondI ary schools; the extension of instrucj iiou to uur island possessions to onable them to supply the country with j |2U0,000,000 worth of domestic proi ducts, now imported from abroad. He then proceeds to discuss the I place of agriculture in the country's industrial iife. The ccrn crop of 1904 yields a farm value greater than ever before, j The farmers could from the pro- j j <eeds of this crop pay the national debt, the interest thereon for one year, and still have enough left to pay a considerable portion of the govern rnent's yearly expenses. The cotton crop, valued for lint and seed at $600,000.000, comes second, while hay and wheat contend for i'no third place. Combined, these two crops will about equal the corn crop. Notwithstanding the wheat crop shows a lower production than any year since 1900, the farm value is the highest since 1881. Potatoes and barley reached their highest production in 1904; save in 1902 the oat crop was never so large by 60,000,000 bushels. The present crop of rice promises a yield of 900.000,000 pounds?300,000,000 more than ever before. Horses and mules reach the highest point this year, with an aggiegate i value exceeding 1,354 million dollars. I On the other hand cattle, sheep and | hogs all show a decline. The steady advance in poultry leads , to some astonishing figures. The far1 mere" hens now produce one and twothirds billions of dozens of eggs and at the high average price of the year the hens during their busy season lay enough eggs in a single month to pay the year's interest cn the national debt. After a careful estimate of the value of the products of the farm during 1 oa j uruhln t*. n cm c coatui 1 ii7V7, uiauc niuuii vvuouo : it is safe to place the amount at 4,900 million dollars, after excluding the value of farm crop3 fed to live stock in order to avoid duplication of values. This is 9.65 per cent, above the product of 1903, and 31.28 per cent above that of the census of 1899. Some comparisons are necessary to the realization of such unthinkable j value, aggregating nearly five billions of dollars. The farmers of this coun, try have in two years produced wealth exceeding the output of all the gold | mines of the entire world since Columbus discovered America. This i year's product is over six times the , amount of the capital stock of all na1 tional banks; it lacks but threej fourths of a billion dollars of the value I of the manufactures of 1900, less the ; cost of materials used; it is three . times the gross earnings from the operations of the railways and four | times the value of all minerals pro: duced in this country. The year of 1904 keeps well up to the average of exports of farm products during the nvo years 1839-1903, amounting to 1 c'Vi.i o33 millions, while the avtiAge for the five years was nearly 865 mil. ' lions. During the last 15 years the ' balance of trade in favor of this coun' try. all articles considered, exceeded -1 4.384 million dollars, but taking farm products alone, these showed a balance in our favor of more than 3,300 j millions. Reviewing the increase in farm cap!| ; tal, the secretary estimates it con' ! servatively at 2,000 million dollars within four years?this without rccog: nizing tho marked increase in the value of land during the past two ; years. The most startling figures show as illustrating the farmers' prosl j pcrity are those presented by deposits . j in banks in typical agricultural States. , I The Secretary selects for this illus;' tration Iowa, Kansas and Mississippi. ' | Taking all kinds of banks, national. I State, private and savings, the depos| its increased from June 30. 189r.. to j October 31, 1904, in Iowa, 131 per : ceut; in Kansas, 219 per cent; and in 1 j Mississippi 301 per cent?in the Unl,j ted Stales 91 per cent. A similar fav| orable comparison may be made as j' to the number of depositors. The secretary conciuaC3 that the [ | farmers' rate or nnanciai progress i ; need fear no comparison with that of \ i any other class of producers. News of the Day.

Four Survivor# Terribly Scalded? Lieutenant Cole Injured in Gallantly Rescuing the Endangered MenBoiler Said to Have Been Thorough iy Iesiea. Philadelphia, Special.?Caught in a trap and helpless to save themselves, three men lost their lives and four others, including Lieutenant Wm. C. C. Cole, were terribly scalded Thursday by a rush of steam and boiling water in the flre-room of the battleship Massachusetts, lying at tho League Island navy yard. The dead are: Edward Bub, boiler maker and j civilian; Andrew Hamilton, married, j boiler-maker; Charles RItzcl, boilermaker. Injured: Lieutenant William Cole, U. S. N., assistant chief engineer of the Massachusetts, scalded about the head and body, taken to the Naval Hospital; William Anderson, ! ship's boiler maker, badly scalded, taken to the naval hospital; James Wilson, boiler maker's helper and civilian employe, scalded, taken to the Vf.iL.ai.A TT ?U-t . A n.... xueiouuibt nuapuai, jusepu n, l/uiand, boiler maker's helper and civilian, scalded, taken to St. Agnes Hospital. With the exception of Lieutenant Cole, all the killed and injured icsided in Philadelphia. Lieutenant Cole received his injuries in a heroic effort to rescue the others. The accident was caused by the giw- i ing way of a gasket, or rubber washer, on a boiler on the stnrboaid side of the ship. The Massachusetts has been at the navy yard for some time, undergoing extensive repairs, particular to the boilers and machinery. Although Captain Edward D. Taussig and his complement of officers and men are j aboard the ship, the Massachusetts is j vigin doing business in the state and urtutlly in charge of the authorities of the navy yard. The boiler on which the accident occurred had recently been cleaned and thoroughly tested and the boiler makers were today ht work on another boiler. Without warning, the gasket between the boiler plate between the boiler gave way and a terrific rush of steam and hot water occurred. The doors of the fire room w-.-re closed at the time of the accident, and the only avenue of escape was a safety ladder. Only one man, Bramlett, a ship's fireman. ? * 1 - J J MM.l V, n I UlOUgm. or iue muuer, ?uu uc <rov.upv.i_i | without a scar.

The work of rescue was prompt, and to Ibis promptness those who escaped death owe their thanks. The first to enter the fire hole was | Lieutenant Cole. Without hesitating, and being scalded by the water and steam, he entered quickly and quickly dragged the men to a place where they were taken in charge by others. Bub and Hamilton were dead when found, and Ritzel died a few minutes after being taken on deck. Whether the gasket was defective [ or was carelessly put in place, re- j mains for an official court of inquiry ! to determine.
