Rusalaaa Lose Three of Outer Defenses
of Port Arthur.
Tokio, July 2. The Japanese arms
havo been victorious at Port Arthur.
Possession ha been secured of Chlk
wanshen, Chitanean and Sochoctan
pits, which form a part of tho defenses
of tho beleaguered fortress. Particu
lars of the fighting are slow in arriv
ing, General Oku withholding hasofllc
lat account until tbe completo plans
are carried out. From unofficial ac
counts, howovor, it Is learned that tho
battle lastod from an early hour in tho
morning until 6 o'clock in tho after
noon, and oven after tho Russians had
boen driven out of tholr works, thoy ro
formed and attomptod to rotako tho
positions.
Tho Japanese had boen preparing
for tho attack for a week, ami tholr
scouts had penetrated to tho very edges
of tho forts so that a:curato maps of
the intervening ground were in tho
hands of the chiefs of divisions on
Saturday night, when the first for
ward movement waa undertaken.
The troops slept In their blankets to
tho eastward of the Russian position
Saturday night, and at daybreak, the
order to advance was siren. Tho
Japanese were formed in three lines,
while tho artillery had been posted at
right angles to the fort, so its firo
would prove moat effective Tho
mounted infantry and tegular cavalry
wero posted west of Plntu, with orders
to guard against any attempted flank
ing movement, and at tho samo time to
bo in a position to support tho infantry.
It is understood that tho noxt objoc
tivo point of tho Japaneso is Tuchfng
tze, tho key to tho eastern 'defenses of
Port Arthur, and its reduction is be
lieved to bo merely a matter. of days.
Tho nows of the eucccts of the Japan
ese arms is particularly pleasing at this
timo, following as it does tho Russian
roport that Genoral Oku and his army
had retired irom Port Arthur' vicinity.

controlling prices in order to prevent
speculation.
Tho refugees assorted that, owing to
the jeers of tho army, the fleet was
forced to make Its rocent demonstration
in order to preserve the morale of the
garrison.

of tho teccipt of nuws of a firo which

including ono to thu effect that tho

Tho damage at Cronstadt was con

Amount fa Par Below That of Former
Year Export Alio Show a Heavy
Pallia Off-Much Wheat Made Into
. Fleur-Bastens and California Mark
eta Drew on Northwest.
Tho corcal year of 1003-04, brought to
an end July 1,' waa romarkablo for tho
shrinkago of tho shipping, business . of
tho North Pacific ports. This lalling
off in oxporta Was occasioned by the do
creaso in tho wheat yield of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho as compared
with the few preceding year. Tho
three state produced last year 33,584,
070 bushels of wheat against 41,079,435
bushols in 1002 and 403,04,238 bushels
in 1001.
Shipments from Portland in the past
12 months, including flour as wheat,
wero 8,400,805 bushels, compared with
14,000,282 bushels in the preceding
yoar, and 10,57420,5 bushels two years
ago. Puget sound shipments show tbe
same ratio of decrease, having been 11,
808,148 bushels as against 18,073,818
bushels in 1002, and 18,825,007 bush
els in 1001.
A portion larger than usual, of the
wheat in tho past season went into
(lour, duo in largo measure to the
heavy requirement of tho Orient just
before the war between Japan and Rus
sia broko out. Another feature of the
season waa tho demand from Eaitern
markets for Northwestern wheat.
Shipments from this coast to Chicago
and St. Louis woro made possible for a
short timo by the speculative excite
ment in the Middle West caused by the
Armour corner and 1,483,057 bushels
of Northwestern wheat found their way
across the Rockies against only 300,000
bushels so shipped the year before.
With tho short supply In this section,
there was a still greater shortage, com
paratively' speaking, in California,
which necessitated the movement of a
large quantity of wheat southward, and
thus reduced the amount available for
over-sea shipment. Furthermore the
demand from the Antipodes, that waa
ao prominent in 1002-03, was lacking.
Consequently the cargoes'that were sent
abioad from Northwest porta ia the
year just closed were ranch less ia
number than ia tb )wedWg,year.
,. .There la hardly v.ansa;fct ..Wi-Usai-the
PsoifloNorthwest'witi this fall har
vest the greatest 'wheat crop in its his
tory. Fifty million bushels is believed
by leading men in the grain trade to
bo a conservative estimate.- The
drouth, if long continued, will affect
tho yield, but ten days more of lack .of
rain will not endanger tho crop. After
that a contlnuanco of dry weathor will
bocoino moro serious. It is. conceded
that tho output of tho valley will o
light nnd spring grain Is sufferinir from
luck of moisture in somo .sections east .
of tho mountains, but tho grout bulk oC
tlio crop is as yot in no danger.
