Of course It Is realized here that If the

tion of the Russian army would be ren
dered serious, if not desperate, and It
would probably compel General Kouropat
kln to accept an engagement against his

The rain, which has again been falling In

Confirms Death of General.
An official despatch from Llao Yang
dated ytaterday, to the general staff, report
ing' the continued Japanese advance on
Sunday, confirms the report that General
Routkovsky was killed daring the rear
guard engagements and adds that Colonel
Von Raaben was also killed.
The total of the Russian losses on Sunday
Is not knewn, but 400 wounded have passei
through the first aid stations. The losses
of the Japanese were considerable.
Lieutenant General Routkovsky for a
number of years had been attached to the
staff of the governor general of the Cascus
as chief of the engineer corps. He belonged
to a prominent fnmlly of the Novgorod
district. Colonel Von Raaben was a well
known character In St. Petersburg. He was
a man of great wealth and was very popu
lar socially.
Bnys Stoessel Predicts Loss.
It is reported from a reliable source that
Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander of
the Russian military forces at Port Arthur,
has telegraphed to the emperor thanking hin
for the recent message of encouragement
sent to the garrison of Port Arthur, saying
that the defenders of the fortress are ready
and willing to lay down their lives, but
addiiiK that the garrison has already suf
fered severely and intimating that It is
hardly possible to hold out for more than
month or six weeks.
- Four more regiments will be raised In the
Caucasus. An official announcement to this
effect Is expected torporrow.
-Tho... I)i;xt.. contingent of the .First army
corps "has arrived at Harbin. This corps
was destined for Vlaodlvostok, but upon
the urgent request of-General Kouropatkln
It will be diverted to Mukden. It Is state-!
that the Ill-starred Russian battleship Orel,
which already has suffered two accidents,
will hot be able to Join the Baltic squad
ron. According to reports when Its engine
trials began it was discovered-that the en
gines had been practically wrecked by
workmen Introducing iron filings to the
valves and cylinders. It will probably re
quire many months to repair the damages.
This Is the secret of the failure of the Orel
to go out a trial trip with the other ships
last week. '
Conditions at Tort Arthur.
CHE FOO, Aug. 29.-2 p. m. Severe fight
ing wus resumed a Port Arthur 011 Au
gust 27, according to Chinese who left there
on the evening of the 27th. Between Au
gust 22 and 26 there was soma fighting, but
It was less sever-than that on the t7th.
One of the Chlneso was Tarres'ted and com
pelled to carry the dead from the battle
field of Pallchuang, which th: Japnnese
attempted to capture on August 28. Thirty
carts wero used to carry the dead, num
bering 400, from the trenches and outskirts
to the city. A pollcelnnn told tho Chinese
that the efficient soldiers In the garrison at
Port Arthur numbered over 10,000.
A Chinese who lived near Rlhlungshan
declares that he saw the Russians occupy
ing this fort, from which previous reports
stated they had been driven. Probably
both reports were correct at the time they
were current, as semi-official advices state
that many positions about the-' fortress
change hands repeatedly. The fighting,
which began on the 27th soon became gen
eral. While the Chinese were at sea August
2$ the heavy firing was resumed.
Two junks containing contraband of war
were sunk by a Japanese torpedo boat ten
miles off Llaotl promontory. 1
It Is said that Fort No. 6 has changed
hands four times and Is now unoccupied.
The Japanese filled the moat in front of this
fort with sand bags.
Japanese t'se Chinese.
The Japnnese art using thousands of Chi
nese coolies to dig trenches, dig earthworks
and drag cannon about. '.The report that
heavy fighting was resumed on August 27
agrees with a previous rumor from a credit
able source that the Japanese had planned
to resume the general attack on that date.
' The information received during the last
week would seem to confirm the belief that
the great Japanese aseault upon Port Ar
thur, which was begun August 20, was by
no means as successful as anticipated.
Although the Japanese succeeded in push
ing their lines forward, they were unable
in any Instance to odcupy the important
pofcitlons from which they drove the Rus
sians. Tby succeeded only In weakening
the Russian lines. - without making im
portont t advances In their own.
Ti.e report that the Japanese forces be
fore Port Arthur have received heavy re
inforcements via Dalny has been 'con
firmed. Thla bears out the statement from
Chinese sources- tho,t heavy fighting com

fiermau View of Situation.
BERLIN, Aug. 29. Germsn military men
are discussing the situation of General
Kouropatkln with the keenest Interest.
They have information that the defenses
of Llao Yang are of extraordinary strength.
The fortifying of the town was entrusted
to General Mellshtko, who enjoys here the
reputation of being a master oC. military
engineering. During the last two months
he has fortified all the stragetlc positions
around Llao Yang In a manner well nigh
Impregnable. Triple lines of trenches
cro-n every height where artillery could
be effective. The entire line of fortifica
tions Is connected through passages for
facilitating the reenforcement of endan
gered points, while bomb-proof retreats,
covered with tteel rails, protect reserves.
All Important points have telegraphic com
munication with headquarters.
The German critics think Liao Tang's
defenses about equalise the difference In
numbers between the Russians estimated
St ISO.OOO and the . Japanese, numbering
240.0)0. The danger of General Kouropat
kln's situation Is recognized as being bot
tled up like Field Marshal Bazalne, who
surrendered Mcts to the German forces in
1870. It Is doubted by the experts If Gen
eral Kouropatkln will be able to prevent
the complete encircling of Llao Yang, which
wouid mean, probably, the eventual loss of
his entire army. The Japanese delay of,
action Is believed to be due to the necessity
of bringing up siege guns with which to
break the Russian' fortifications. i
Mar Be General Battle
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-6:50 p. m.
The operations abound Llao Yang have un
dergone a complete Chang. Owing to the
delay in the concentration of General Kour
opatkin's army, as a result of the terri
ble condition of the roads, the Japanese
seized the opportunity to attack the slow
moving corps, and severe fighting occurred
August 27-28, In which the Russians lost
another thousand men, and they now prob
ably will have to accept ' a genoral en
gagement. General Kouropatkln himself de
scribes the latest phase of the hostilities In
a long dispatch to the emperor from a
point on the railroad a few miles south of
Llao Yung, where practically the whole
army was assembled and awaiting battle
The telegram, which was filed early this
morning, says:
Thto Japanese began at dawn, August 27,
the two movemerits designed to cut off the
First and Fourth corps. The First, sta
tioned at Anshanshan, half way between
Hal Cheng and Liao Yang, experienced
the most serious difficulty, owing to bud
roads. The Japanese, under General Oku,
tried to Hank this corps from the east.
In the meanwhile General Kuroki, aban
doning his pressure of Generals Ivanoff
and Herschelmann, drove a wedge between
the Second and Fourth corps, which were
stationed west of Liandianslan, a strong
defensive position lu the hills twenty-four
miles southeast of Liuo Yang.
Colonel Is Killed. ,
The Russians, greatly impeded by their
artillery aod commissaries, fought a series
of rear guard actions In order to cover the
retreat of their Impediments to Llao Yang,
In which they were successful." The First
corps, which figured at the battle of the
Yalu and in the fighting at Motten pnse.
again sustained the brunt of the fighting
and suffered the majority of the losses. In
cluding General Routkovsky and Colonel
von Raaben.
The First, Second and Fourth corps, com
bined under the command of General Za
roubaleff, and the Tenth, Seventeenth and
Third corps, under General Ivanoff, form
ing the eastern contingent, succeeded In
effecting a concentration at Llao Yang
without further loss.
The whole six iborps, of which two are'
European troops,' have now formed a semi
circle within a radius of six or eight rrUls
of Llao Yang.
General Kouropatkln has not far short of
170,000 men.
British Cruisers Meet Russians. ,
LONDON, Aug. 29.-7:10 p. m. It is stated
on good authority that the British cruisers
sent to search- f-r the Russian volunteer
fleet cruisers Smolensk and St. Petersburg
have overhauled, at least one of these .ves
sels. The admiralty does not confirm the state
ment, but Issued the following tonight:
The Russian government having requested
his majesty's government to take steps to
deliver an urgent message to the Smolensk
and St. Petersburg, belonging to the Rus
sian volunteer fleet, now in South African
waters, the commander-in-chief of the Cape
of Good Hope station, left- the Seychelles
islands August 26 in his majesty's shin
Crescent, and is proceeding southward with
the cruisers Forte and Pearl with the ob
ject of communicating with the Russian
vessels. His majesty's ships Barrosa and
Partridge, have also ,beon directed to pro
ceed in search of the volunteer .leet ves
sels. The Harrosa Is between Walflsch bay
and Benguela, and the Partridge between
Walflsch bay and Simon's bay. The Rus
sia a message was also communicated to
the commodore commanding the South At
lantic squadron, who, with his majesty's
ships, St. George and Brilliant, is at pres
ent In the neighborhood of St. Vincent,
Cape Verde1 islands.
The Foreign ofl)ce has no confirmation
of the statement that the British cruisers
havo overhauled at least one of the volun
teer fleet.

THREE-CORNERED RATE WAR
Railroads Arrayed Against Each Other aod
Shippers at War.
TROUBLE OVER CEMENT FOR BUILDINGS
.
Omaha Is Victim of Discrimination by
Which Kansas City and St. Jo
seph ProBt, bat Prospects
Are Good.
A three-cornered fight has developed as
a result of the freight tariffs on cement.
Railroad lines are arrayed sgalnst each
other on the one "side, and local shippers
who feel that they have been discriminated
against in the matter of the rates also are
Involved In the controversy to the extent
that they want to be placed on an equal
footing with Kansas City and St. Joseph.
The local dealers want the same rate that
Is enjeyed on the same character of ce
ment by the dealers In the cities named.
It begins to look as If the discrimination
will be wiped out as the result of the tariff
war on this line of goods which has been
going on between the railroads. The
trouble began when the Northwestern re
cently announced that it would make the
same rates to Omaha as Other lines charged
fof tho haul from the mills on their lines
to Kansas City nnd Bt. Joseph. Previous
to the reduction the rate was lower to the
points named than to Omaha. Before the
fight began 17 cents per hundred pounds
was paid by local shippers.
A reduction was made by the Northwest
ern which was promptly met by the other
lines, until recently a ratfl of 1014 cents
was announced on the haul, but there Is
still a difference of 4H cents on the rate
enjoyed by Omaha and the one which Is
paid by the dealers in the cities named.
Missouri Pacific Blocks It.
One of the local shippers said yester
day: "Tha Missouri Pacific has stood out
agnlnst the reduction. The road has been
unwilling to make the same rate to Omaha
as It makes to St. Joseph. If It would treat
Omaha as squarely as some of the other
roads are doing In this matter there would
be no difficulty about a fair adjustment
of the rate. In bidding for outside busi
ness, Omaha has been placed at a disad
vantage with Kansas City and Bt. Joseph,
owing to the fact that those cities have
had the lower rate. Either we want the
Omaha rate lowered or we want the Kan
sas City and St. Joseph rates increased.
We don't care which so long as It is in
line of reason. The Burlington has done
considerable to help bring about nn ad
justment of the troubles and while rates
have undergone a number of reductions,
Omaha Is still at a disadvantage.
"The discrimination is far reaching in
its effect owing to the class of goodB af
fected. Until recently the rate from Mil
waukee has remained at 12 cents, while
the rate from Utica. 111., was 10 cents.
The Northwestern, which had the haul
from Milwaukee, met the rate of the Rock
Isjand and other lines interested In the
controversy. The rate is not a question of
miles, but of haulage. -It Is a question of
makli.g a fair and equitable rate between
certain Volnts. In a nutshell, we want the
rates coming to be aa fair and equitable
as the rates going out."
