PETROORAD, July 29 (via London).--
After being compelled to halt their ad-
vance for several weeks before com-
bined Austrian and German resistance
on the northern wing of General Bru-
•Huffs front, the Russlans have again
scored on important success and are
pressing the Teutons back along the
entire front from the Kovel-Ltusk rail-
way as far south ns Brody,
Although the official statement gives
no particulars of this new penetratlon
of the Teutonic Jines. It apparently
took place south of Kiselin on the
Vladimir-Volynski highway and was Q
direct blow at the Austro-German
army defending Vladimir-Volynskt
The unexpected widening of the
breach begun at Lutsk in tho early
days of the summer campaign that
has thus been effected. is considered
more significant than the occupation
of Brody, which was a foregone con-
elusion some days ago.’ The fate of
Brody wm sealed •when Genersl Sak-
haroff scored his brilliant victory on
the river Slonevka. ,0
The new Russlan attack south of
Lutsk not onlyrthreatons Vladimir-
Volynski, but opens the poHsibiItY of
a successful attack upon Kovel from
the gouth since an important railway
line connects these points. The prox-
imity of the Russians to Sokal like-
wise constitutes a definite threat at
remberg from that direction. The
chief significance of the new advance,
however, is the fact that it is the first
decisive succes scored by the Russians
against German forces in the present
cumpaign.

LONDON, July 19.—The importance
attached by the Germans to tho pos-
sesston ot Delville wood ia shown by
tho desperato character of their con-
stant counter attacks on this wood
alnoo it was captured by the British.
Those counter attacks, according to
the British reports have been repulsed
cn every occasion with heavy German
1ossea.
In the neighborhood of Pozlerea also
the British and Germans oontinue in
the closest grips and the severest hand
to hand fighting is going on incessant-
ly. The British, however, maintain
their advance toward the remaining
portion of the rising ground between
Pozleres and Bapaume, still in the
hands of the Germans.
Many German Infantry units with-
drawn from tho Meuse area have been
recognized in the forces opposing the
progress of the British.. This is the
probable reason why the fighting
around Verdun as shown by the French
reports has developed Into almost
purely artillery engagements. inter-
mittent minor infantry attacks, how.
ever, have occurred there,Inltiadod al-
ternately by either aide. in which the
French report somo success with a
gain in ground.
The Russian armies under General
Brusilore and General Lotehitzky have
1 ushed further forward in a penetrat-
ing movement through the Austro-
German territory and their success is
admitted in the Berlin and Vienna re-
ports of today, which say:
"Northwestward of Lutsk the enemy
succeeded in penetrating our lines and
wo withdrew behind the river.”
A belated Turkish official report be-
littles the Russian successes In the
Caucasus and describes the capture of
Balburt and Erzingan’as of little im-
portance to the Turkish general scheme
of operations.

NEW YORK, July 30.—Thirty-five Jersey City firemen are
reported to have been killed at 2:45 o'clock this morning by a ter-
rible explosion in the plant of the National Storage Company of
Black Tom Island near Communipaw, N. J., where they had gone to
fight a fire resulting from a terrific explosion just thirty minutes
earlier.
In the storage company plant are said to have been enormous
quantities of ammunition consigned to the entente allies. The en-
tire plant is reported to have been wrecked. The entire island ap-
peared at 3:30 o'clock to be covered with a sheet of flamo^ Acccss
to it is gained from the mainland by a bridge over which run tracks
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
Sixty-nine carloads of ammunition are said to have been stored
on the railroad tracks on the island. All of them are believed to
have been blown up.
Edmund Mackenzie, president of the National Storage Com-
pany, said at his home at Plainfield, N. J., at 3:30 o’clock this morn-
ing that he had just received a telegram informing him that a great
fire was raging in the plant of his company following an explosion.
The plant of the storage company consists of about eighty-five
warehouses and three or four covered piers rone of which is a powder
pier, said Mr. Mackenzie. He explained that there were no com.
bustiblez in tho warehouses. He expressed the belief from the meager
information he had received that the explosion must have been in
trains of munitions which had been run to the powder docks await-
ing regulation lighters to ships anchored in the bay. He declared the
plant was valued at about seven million dollars.
Dr. Joseph Wilson of the cimmigration hospital on Ellis Island
reported to Manhattan police headquarters at 3:45 this morning that
two barges loaded with ammunition lying alongside the dock at El-
lis Isdland were ablaze from stem to stern. He said they had drifted
down the bay from the direction of Staten Island. Black Tom Is-
land is about a quarter of the way from Ellis Island to Staten Island.
The patients in the Ellis Island hospital were ordered transferred
to another island of the Ellis Island group.
Explosions dn the barges were occurring at frequent intervals,
although none of them was especially severe. The fireboat New
York is standing by and efforts are being made to confine the flames
to the barges.

WASHINGTON, July 29.—Setting at
rest any rumors to th® effect that he
will not remain in the August Sena-
torial primary, Senator Culberson Sat-
urday night made a statement in which
he not oply announced the continua-
tion of his candidacy but also expresses
his appreciation of the vote accorded
him in tho July primary .
Senator Culberson said: "The re-
cent primary election which was had
to nominate a candidate for tho Unit-
ed States Senate did not result in the
selection of a nominee. The law under
which it was held, following the clear
and wise policy of the Democrats of
the State, required a majority of the
voteg to secure a nomination and no
one having received such majority an-
other primary is made necessary,
which will be held on the fourth Sat-
urday in August next. My name will
be submitted to this primary upon my
record as ft Democrat and upon the
policies outlined by mo in the sov-
eral addresses Issued to you during the
recent campaign.
The vote cast for me in the July
primary was most gratifying. I am
profoundly sensible of tho loyalty and
services of my friends in that contest
and keenly appreclate the countless
additional offers of support which
’nave corn® to mo for the second pri-
mary. My pride in the confidence of
the great body of the Democrats of
‘When the Texas Election Bureau
took its final total Saturday night, a
week after the Democratic primary
July 22, submission had a load of 2854.
The vote is 173,834 for submission* 170,-
980 against it. In tho lost total were
included complete votes from 224 coun-
ties, partial returns from 15. The
Wise County Democratio committee
had adjourned until Monday without
making a final report. El Paso, Cul-
berson, Presidio, and Liberty supposed
anti-submission cpunties, had made
full reports. Liberty had gone for sub-
mission. El Paso failed to give the
expected majority against submission.
Bandera County had reported partially
and favored submission on the incom-
plete report- Bowie County in earlier
returns, had given a majority against
submission. In the complete report
filed Saturday night, the county re-
duced the anti-submission vote 575 and
decreased the submission voto 12.
In the Governor’s race, the bureau
has accounted for 409,471 votes. With
the vote now out it would seem that
the vote cast July 22 will run in the
neighborhood of 415,000 on official
count. Governor Ferguson's lead over
C. II. Morris now stands at 64,443.
Moro complete figures have run the
lead of W. C, Morrow over A. J. Har-
per for the Court of Criminal Appeals
up to a majority of more than 40,000.
J. E Yantis, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, continues in the
final figures to lead R. W. Hall by
approximately 12,500, a lead picked up
early in the week and consistently
maintained.
Attorney General Looney's lead over
John W. Woods, is approximately 25,-
000.
Land Commissioner J. T. Robison
lead the ticket as a candidate with
opposition. »
With the taking of the totals tonight,
the eleotlou bureau closed. On the face
of its returns, it has cleared up for
the Texas newspapers returns from
every State contest, Congressional
race, and race for places upon the sev-
eral appellate courts. Every State
Senator has been accounted for and
only the ’extreme closeness of two
legislative contests, the holding of a
run-off in one district and Isolation of
the territory in two more contests, has
prevented the closing of the legisla-
tive list complete.
