Jap Account of Chefoo Incident.
The navy department has issued the
following statement covering the Che
foo incident:
"According to reports received to
date the Asarhiwo and Kasuml, be
longing to the first destroyer flotilla,
Captain Fujlmoto commanding, were
dispatched In pearch of the enemy's
ships scattered during tho engage
ment on the night of Aug. 10. They
found a vessel resembling one of tho
enemy's destroyers and gave chase,
lut lost her In the Darkness.
"Continuing the search they discov
ered that she bad entered the port ot
Chefoo.
"The Japanese ships waited outside
tho port but the Russian failed to
leave.
"Captain Fujimoto anticipating Its
escape during the night if possible to
attack merchant vessels, entered j
Chefoo with the two destroyers and
found the Russian destroyer Ryeshit- '
elnl remaining undlsarmed.
"Lieutenant Terashlma was then
sent to the Russian vessel with a mes-1
tage to the effect that the Japanese
commander expected him to leave by t
dawn or surrender. I
"The Russian commander refused 1
to comply with either demand, and '
while thj conference was still going
cn he was heard instructing his men
to blow up the ship. I
"At tho same time he caught hold
of Lieutenant Teiashima and threw
him overboard.
"Our interpreter was next thrown
i.verhnard by some Russian sailors
and others among the 3ailors showed
i'ijns of resistance.
'Whib this wan progressing the
forward magazine exploded, killing
one and mortally injuring four of our
men. Wo thn captured the destroy
er and retired.
"Lieutenant Torashima and ten
others were wounded."

Falling Off In Export Trade.
Bradstreet's summary of the state
of trade pays:
Fall trade expands but slowly, con
servatism, based apparently upon crop
disappointments or uncertainties and
labor troubles, ruling most lines of dis
tribution. Government figures of crop condi
tions Just Issued are, In the main, fa
vorable, though vitiated by early date
of replies. Predicted reductions In the
winter wheat crop outturn are con
firmed, but are counterbalanced by
Improvement in other crops, pointing
to a general y'eld of food products
vell above the average.
Jobbing trade the country over,
while perhaps up to expectations, is
not equal to last year's.
Industrial conditions are not alto
gether promising In view of the con
tinuance of the meat strike, which, by
the way. Is Interfering with the leath
er and shoe trade; the Fall River diffi
culty, and calling out a large number
cf building hands a the metropolis.
The price movement this week
shows exceptional strength, continu
ing the upward movement noted dur
ing July. Higher prices of farm pro
ducts are regarded as a possible offset
to smaller yields, but It is to be noted
that export trade in food staples In
July fell to the lowest point in many
years.
All In all. the situation may be char
acterized as still irregular, though the
general tone of business outlook is one
of confidence.
