He will make a very thorough inspection,

.Among .government-' officials best In

that the vessel will ..than, Ije. disarmed, so
that It may remain until the close of the

. Admiral Goodrich's report shows that to
make temporary repairs to the boilers and
machinery of the Lena, according to the
naval expert's opinion, would require about
six weekn' time. The captain of the vessel
claims that it. needs new. boilers, and If
the request to be allowed to put these
In is granted, no less them eight months'
time will be reaulred Jo triake the change.

ST. PETERSByRO, Sept. J8-S:57 p. m.
The authorities here! profess ignorance of
the circumstances surrounding the case of
the Russian transport' Lfena; ! now' at San
Francisco. A high officer of the admiralty
says that its appearance at San Francisco
wns a surprise, as Vice Admiral Bkrydloft
had not'; notified' theW that the Ltjni wait,
going to B4n.F.ranoiBco iron 'Vladivostok
and they hive bo liiformarfult "bf the pur
pose of its course. The JPofrhrn, office also
states that ft 'ta without advices trn the
subject. Nevertheless, if the ship is In
deed of repairs end coal Russia will- expect
the United States) to fgnore the reported
Japanese demand that it be forced td leave
within twenty-four hours, and to permit
the necessary repairs to be mad and also
t'4 allowthe Lena to' take on board suffi
cient coal to enable It to reach the nearest
Russian home port. It is not believed,
however, that Russia would object t6 the
stipulation that If the Lena Is allowed to
coal that 'the; ship shall undertake not to
Interfere with neutral commerce pending
its arrival at a home port
:In unofficial quarters there are two ver
sions of the Lena's mission. According to
the one which la most generally accepted,
the Lena was sent out to stop contraband
of. war bound for the Japanese, possibly,
as In the case of the Russian volunteer
fleet steamers St Petersburg and Smolensk,

offlcfrs to llslt the .vessel and ascertain for
himself Its exact condition as to boilers
and machinery. He has reported the result
of his Investigation to the Navy department
In the form of a telegram, which came
overnight from San Francisco .and was
opened the first thing this morning by Cap
tain Pillsbury, who is acting chief of tha
navigation bureau. The dispatch stated
that the Lena was unquestionably In need
of repairs'; that Its boilers were In bad con
dition, and that to riiake temporary repairs
would occupy a period of six weeks, em
ploying the full resources of ; the San
Francisco machine shops. It was also
stated that if new boilers were supplied, aa
Captain Berllnsky of Lena desired, the
work of putting them in would occupy ho
less than eight months; .
Captain Pillsbury promptly laid this
message before Secretary Morton, and then,
by his direction, carried it over to the Stats
department to consult' with Acting Secre
tary Adee -and Solicitor Denfleld as to the
courso to be pursued. It was the opinion
of the three officers that the request for
permission to make temporary repairs
should be allowed. But as in the case of
yesterday's conference on the ,pame sub
ject It was decided that the final decision
In thl matter rested with the department
of Commerce and Labor which appeared,
under the terms of the circular of February
13 last, Issued by Mr. Cortelyoa, then secre
tary, to be charged with the execution of
the neutrality laws.
Japanese Minister Satisfied.
Admiral Goodrich further reported to
the- Navy department that he had taken
precautions to prevent ' any interference
with the Lena aa It lay In the harbor
and had caused it to be surrounded by the
cordon of torpedo boat destroyers. This
guard will serve a double purpose; It Will
not only prevent anything in the nature
'of. a cutting out expedition, ai in" the case
of trp Byeshltelnl at Shanghai but also
will Serve to insure -xne aeienuon oi me
bjg -transport j. until oma,flnal under
standing is reached as to Its disposition,?
. -Minister "Takahlra called at the Staie
department and had a short talk with Mr.
Adee, the acting secretary. .. The minister
having received last night the report Of
the- vessel's arrival from the Japanese con
sul general at San Francisco said that he
called simply to acquaint the State de
partment officially with the fact of the
Lena'a appaarano In tha harbor of San
Francisco, but he did not lodge any pro
test against its presence nor mak any
demand as to Its withdrawal.- He assured
Mr.. Adee that he was entirely willing to
allow the United States government to
deal with this case without Interference

GENERAL KUROKI'S HEADQUAR
TERS IN THE FIELD, Monday. Sept t.
(Via Tien Tsln, Sept. 1J.) The battle of
Liso Vang was concluded this morning
after -almost seven days of continuous
strugllng. General - Kauropatkln was de
feated, but after holding his ground for
four days he effected a masterly retirement
along the railroad probably with his army
almost intact and taking away, the- bodies
of half of. his men who were killed in
action. .
The part that the Japanese force under
command of General Kurokl played In the
conflict was remarkabjs. From the iib
to tha 30th of August, when he effected a
Junction with the other Japanese armies
around Liao Yang, he advanced night and
day over almost roadless mountains, push
ing the enemy before him. He then made
a rapid change of base from Anping to a
point on the eastern side of the railroad
with his left wing ten miles north of Liao
Yang, thus leaving a wide gap between
his troops and the- main body of the
Japanese. The purpose of General Kurokl
waa to cut the railroad which was General
Kouropatkin's only possible, avenue, ot
retreat and attempt a surrounding move
ment. On the night of September 2 his
force reached a position two or three miles
from the railroad with the right division
ready to strike, but General Kouropatkln
Was able to send a superior force against
him and held iiim at bay while tbe Russian
army made good Its retreat.
. For. two days it seemdd possible that the
Russians might assume the offensive on a
large scale and perhaps force the Japanese
right army, as the command of General
Kurokl is called, to abandon , its position.
This morning, September f, however. Gen
era) Kurokl Is following General Kouropat
kin's rear, guard and a brisk action, but
probably without result, Is in progress.
;. Japanese. Lou Is Heavy.
..No estimate' of the: .casualties can be ob
tained, at tljis .writing, but .during the forty
eight hours In. which . the right army was
engaged in desperate fighting the .dead
and wounded doubtless totaled several
thousand. ,
. During September 1 and 2 the army under
General Kurokl advanced to the westward
from , a line -between, the vllluge and tho
stone fort of Kwang Tung, with the di
vision forming the right wing extending
to the north and the division on the left
in a bend of the Talue river. The right
an center of General Kurokl'a line were
fighting with determination and gaining
every foot of their advance at great cost.
On the morning of September 1 the Japa
nese artillery- was close to Kwang Tung.
It advanced several times during these two
days, shifting Its positions and taking ad
vantage of low bluffs. During this time
the Russiaris shelled the Japaneao artillery
furiously'.'' Their' fire was concentrated
principally upon the batteries located near
Kwang Ttirig,-but it never disturbed the
Japanese gunners; who continued coolly to
man their pieces.
vV'lt,h the, advent .of darkness on Septem
ber 2. jhe right division of General Kurokl's
army had occupied some hills which- the
Chinese aptly .'named the "Five-headed
Hills," situated four miles to the riortli of
Kwang' Tung and overlooking the railroad
station at ' Yentai, which is tWo or three
miles to the ' west ' of them. ' One brigade
oif the' extreme rltfht had gained a 'position
a- mile or two further north and to the
northwest of Coal Mine hill, where foreign
buildings could be seen. The Japanese
center division held a long, loW hill five
miles to the west' of Kwang Tung 'and
above the village of Bukwantung. Be
tween Kwang Tung, where from a Manchua
stone fort on a bare, and rock hilt Gen
eral Kurokl observed ' the. conflict for four
days, exposed, meanwhile to the fierce rays
of the sun, and the hills! which formed the
Japanese advance line, beyond which they
gained .ljut -little ground until the - night
of .September, 4. there lies a rolling country
with several low . ridges of chills and many
groves, giving cover to both armies. .

The Russians had cut away the grain and
trees from In' front 'ot their entrenchments
on- these 'hills, leaving the approaches open

trenches 'le sufferuig; .Vas.J, great,, The
men, Already, 'eahausted .by. several days of
the hardest kind of fighting and parching,
were obliged to, wqrk unceasingly with their
rifles , or with itreochlng tools. They , were
unable to upok . ration for fear that 'their
fires would disclose their .positions to the
enemy. The taking of these hills,, par tlca
larly the one at Helylngtal, cost the Japa
nese heavily. After cannonading this hill
during the day of September 1 and gradu
ally forcing back the Russian Infantry oh
tha plain without being able to dislodge
them, the Japanese again resorted to their
favorite operation, a night attack, and
drove the Russians out at the point of the
bayonet. They also stormed the "Five
Headed hills" to the northwest during the
afternoon of September t.
While this engagement was going on the
left division made a demonstration against
the highest hills at Skywantun, to the
south of Helylngtal, and facing a bend In
the Taltse river, where the Russians had
strong fortifications and batteries. A part
of the left division, supported by the fire
of the batteries on the plain, attempted to
advance in extended formation across the
wide graveled flats south of the river and
bordering the fields.' They Came under a
heavy Are of the Russian guns. Tha only
possible protection waa the' depressions In
the flaU and their ranks were raked by the
enemy's shrapnel. The - Japanese soldiers
laid flat on their faces and were under the
Russian flra until fi. o'clock that afternoon,
at which hour the movement waa sus
pended, A member of the staff desorlbed
this movement, as. demonstration. It
probably was intended 'to .support the ad
vance of a part ot the center division on
the same hills.

Campaign eloquence ran riot at Young's
hall In the Fifth Ward last evening and
whst the meeting "held there may have
lacked in point of numbers It more than
made op In'Mthuslasm. It was held under
the auspices of th' Roosevelt and Fair
banks Marching club and there was a gen
erous turnout of the voters In that part of
the city. Peter Kiewlcs, president of the
club, called the meeting to 'order and in
troduced Howard - Kennedy, the first
speaker of the evening. - Mr. Kennedy, who
Is the republican candidate for Judge of the
district court, spoke briefly, and began by
thanking-the merahes of the club for the
active Interest displayed at the recent pri
mary which nominated him for the office
of judge ot the district. He also made a
flattering reference to tho other nominees
on the republican ticket fenTl congratulated
the voters upon the choice they hod made.
His remarks wens warmly applauded.
Candidates Present Pleas.
Nelson C. Pratt,- the candidate for county
attorney, was the next speaker. He pledged
himself to faithful service if elected and
made a flattering reference to John L.
Kennedy, republican candidate for con
gress, and said that no cltisea can give a
good reason wKy he should not be elected,
but that every good cltlsen csn give good
reasons why he should be elected.
James C. klnsler, also candidate for
county attorney, said that he was confident
of election -If nominated and added: "If
elected the people may depend that I shall
give them not only an honest and faithful
administration, but -a fearless, energetic
and conservative administration." He also
spoke for tha election .o&. John tu Kennedy
tu congress.
Charles L. Saundera, candidate for re
election to. the state legislature, said that
he was willing to trust his chances to the
people. He said that he believed' he could
do mor for his. constituents, than a new
man unfamiliar with the ropes, and added
that he knew well the disadvantages a new
man worked under. .He said: "I want to
see the voters get, together and elect our
candidate for congress. I am sure we will
be proud of John L. Kennedy, our nominee.
If he la sent to congress.- .This district
must be represented -by republican. We
don't want' 4 democrat In office. We don't
want to send a man to the legislature sim
ply to look wise. ' of, Mr. 'Kennedy's' name
sake on the JiidlrlaJ 'ticket 1'caW say. that
he Is a man of ability 'fend Judgment." '
Henry V. " Plummet1, candidate for state
representative. Was brief. He called atten
tion to the fact that fie Is a graduate Of the
Omaha High school arid has held the office
of tax clerk In city 'and county offices. "I
am not sskln 'foT office because I am a
colored man,'' he bald, "but because I am
a taxpayer and a citizen."
John T. Cathers, ' candidate ' for state
senator, said he had nA axes to grind,
and If nominated would treat the people
fairly and alike."
Kennedy on the Issues.
'John L. . Kennedy, candidate for con
gress, was the next speaker and was re
ceived with cheers: '.'Referring In the start
to the president's letter of acceptance, he
said: i -
It Is a singular 'Tact that the only oppo
sition io Roosevelt today comes from the
trusts. Tbe democrats charge the repub
licans with fostering the trusts, yet the
large trusts are antagonistic to Roose
velt's candidacy iThey are not afraid he
will . not do them, justice, but that he will
do Justice to all. There Is no fear that he
will not do the right thing", but they are
afraid that he-witt-do-the right thing.
There In todays not-a real-Issue up be
tween the two partlew excepting that the
republicans are In power and the democrats
want to fill the offtees themselves. The
demooratn-kre (trying- o make the people
believe that they .can carry out the policies
framed by the republicans better than the
party which 'framed them.' I believe In
the principles enunciated by Roosevelt,
not because he said them, but because they
are right and true.
- I believe American ships should carry
our products. I believe In his aggressive
policy. A nation which does not go for
ward will go backward. The' most beau
tiful thing about 'the president Is his
patriotism. It takes In not only the ma
terial things, but it Is deep and broad
enough to take in the people also. His
every action shows that he is thinking of
the people and of their future prosperity.
A patriotism that does not . take In the
people Is not 'cof the highest character.
The speaker urged the voters to roll up
'oid-tinie' majorities and down Bryanlsm.
He' said he admired Bryan's 'eloquence,
but he thought it had been misdirected
and that his principles are dead.
William Christie,- president of the Fifth
Ward Republican' club, was the last
speaker' and made an eloquent and enthusi
astic addreaa, which, though short, was
Warmly cheered. .' '

ductors, all of whom are restrained from

Another Telephone Rate Ordinance.
Acting Mayor Zimman had something
else In the way of a novelty 'coming. In
shape of a duplicate of his telephone rate
reduction ordinance which was Introduced,
referred to Councilman Evans' committee
August 80 and has stayed there since.
This time the ordinance was laid over un
der the rules. Zimman said he did It in
order to get action on the ordinance, so
that If It is rejected by the council a
plan may be presented for an Independent
franchise ,for submission to the voters at
the fall election. He accused CouVicllman
Evans with holding back the ordinance.
Hvans said that the duplicate, ordinance
would have no effect whatever aa it Is
not permissable with tbe original before
the council. Zimman had expected the
ordinance first Introduced would come up
for consideration last Monday, but Evans
was absent from the co-nmlttee meeting.
Nearly every member of the council par
ticipated In a discussion regarding a reso
lution Introduced by Councilman Nicholson,
directing the street commissioner to con
tinue public work until otherwise directed
by the council. It was adopted finally with
Zimman and Schroeder voting against It.
The acting mayor objected because the
finance statements showed the general
fund' already $10,000 overdrawn. He said
the street commissioner hqd informed him
that the unexecuted orders of the council
for repairs to unpaved streets and other
work would cost $15,000, and said that he
feared an overlap of $26,000 If operations
were not stopped at once. '
Clty'a Financial Condition.
Nicholson remarked that , the finance
committee felt able to cope with the situa
tion, without the assistance of the city en
gineer, who had advised the street work
stopped, and Back said the time to mend
the streets and alleys was Just- before the
winter set In, Huntington declared orders
to stop work would be penny wise and
pound foolish, saying there was no fear of
a shortage In the general fund because the
$10,000 asphalt plant and $2,600 Ak-Sar-Uen
lighting appropriations would go over to
next year, while $2,000 reserved for the
emergency hospital could be drawn upon.
He estimated that the scavenger law and
tax collections would yield from $20,000 to
$26,000 more and asserted a sufficiency of
money for necessary things,
O'Brien resented the advice of the acting
mayor and the city engineer and said so.
Zimman said that the $10,000 from the as
phalt plant appropriation would only cover
the present shortage, while the Ak-Sar-Ben
lighting reservation would be used In
the construction of the temporary fire en
gine house at Twenty-fifth and Cuming
streets.
Councilman Schroeder said he thought
the resolution Illegal because the Board of
Public .Works or Its chairman should be
Instructed and not the streot commissioner,
but Assistant City Attorney Herdman
rendered an off-hand opinion to the con
trary. '.
Bare Sidewalk Merchants.
By a Vote of t to 8 the council passed
tha ordinance which will bar sidewalk
merchants of all kinds from the district
bounded by Twelfth, Capitol, avenue. Eigh
teenth and Jackson streets after January 1.
Acting Mayor Zimman voted against It.
The ordinance is one long desired by Coun
cilman Dyball, but was Introduced by
Hoys.
According to the certificate of the city
clerk, no protests have been received
against the petition for repaying Sixteenth
street .from Douglas to Isard during ths
twenty days required by law for such pro
ceedings. The next step will be to pass
an ordinance directing advertisements for
the contract, and the council adjourned
to 8 o'clock tonight, when it will get the
ordinance under way, after the special
Board of Equalisation meeting for tha day
Is ooncluded.
Par tho Bltnllthle Bills.
The council concurred In the recommenda
tion by ' the committee on paving and
sewerage that the full final estimate for
asphalt repairs be paid the Nebraska Bitu
Hthlc company, despite the estimate of tbe
engineer, who deducted $1,128 because ot
alleged Insufficiency of bitumen In the
asphalt mixture. In this connection Charles
B. Fanning, a paving contractor, gave no
tioo that he would appeal the allowance
of this and any claim of the Bltullthlc com
pany let under what he calls "illegal
apoolflcatlona." His communication was
placed on file.
Tho action of the Board of Public Works
In awarding tho California-Fourteenth
main sewer to J. Jensen, the lowest bidder,
and district sewer No. 2M to James P.
Connolly, who waa not the lowest bidder,
was approved.
George Cadogan Morgan,' ah hydraulic
engineer of Chicago, In aNetter to the
council offered to make plans and specifica
tions for a new etty water works system
and to give a bond of $26,000 that it could
be constructed within his estimate. He
said he had "noticed" that the city Intended
to either buy tbe present plant or "put
one up." Tho letter was referred to the
committee' on Are, water and police.
Sehadalo of Water Rates.
Regarding water, the council adopted a
resolution directing the. city attorney end
engineer to prepare a schedule of reduced
water rates, provided the attorney does not
think that an ordinance peeking to enforce
them will Interfere with tha appraisal.
' An ordinance was passed authorising tbe
submission to the voters at the fall elec
tlon the question of whether or not twenty,
year 4 per cent pond la the sum ef i00(ot
shall be lasued for the construction of
main sewers.
As desired by cltlsens with whom mnll
service Is- bad under present conditions, on
ordinance wss Introduced changing the
name of "E-' street to that of "Homer,"
aa was formerly the designation.
DEAD MAN CITED TO APPEAR
One at strikers Snmmoned by Coart
Order Before Another
, " Bar.
Ths hearing In the strike contempt cases
waa resumed before Judge Munger Tuesday
morning, with George Stephens, financial
seoratary and business agent of the Pack
ing Trades council of South Omaha as the
first witness. Stephen Vail, second vice
president of he Amalgamated, wc:.L on
the stand In thi afternoon.
'He stated on his direct examination that
on three different occasions he had from
twenty-five to thirty men out to locate
the strikers who were cited to appear. One
of the parties cited had been dead for a
year and a half and others of them could
not be found, though every effort had been
made to find them. Asked In reference to
the witness Jenree, who testified earlier In
tha hearing as to being a spy and decoy
for the Packing Trades council and subse
quently turning against the strikers, Mr.
Stephens raid:
"I knew Jenree was a member of the
council, but whatever spy and decoy work
he did was volunteer work. He was not
authorised to do that work. I told him to
suit himself, as I had no option In the
matter. He did not telephone to me nor
was he authorised to do so. Whatever
reports Jenree made were - in person and
but little reliance was placed on them. I
had nothing to do with sending out pickets.
"The strike situation waa entirely In the
hands of the strike committee of the trades
oouhcll. Wrlen the colored men were at
headquarters July 25 X was asked to go
Into the room where they were to explain
tha situation to them. This request was
made by the colored men themselves. I
told them the laboring men employed In
the packing houses were largely married
men and that the proposition was to cut
their wages down from 19 centa to 16ft
cents per hour and that the skilled men,
in order to help them obtain their rights,
would go out, or had gone out, because
the packers refused to make terms. Some
of the colored men spoke up and said the
packers had used false methods to In
duce them to come to work, had 'shang
haied' them, and If they had known the
true situation they would not have come
at all.
"I told, the colored men they would not
be molested and directed some of the
strikers at the foot of the stairs to dlKperoe.
I furnished street car fare to such of the
colored men as wanted to return to Omaha.
Eight or ten of them were so furnished.
I made no threats relative to these men
staying out of Omaha, Neither did I ever
send any strikers to meet or Intercept
strike breakers, even when advised by
Jenree that strike breakers were enroute
to South Omaha.
"It was proposed to keep the strike
breakers out by moral suasion. It was the
duty of the strike committee to appoint
men of Intelligence to talk with the strike
breakers. They were directed to keep
strictly within the law. The first strike
committee consisted of F. H. Archerd, Andy
Nelson, Alfred Casper and James Glennan.
Others were subsequently added."
Stephen Vail, second vice president of
the Amalgamated Butchers' and Meat Cut
ters' association of the United States nnd
Canada, Was called to the stand at 2:30
o'clock. The principal feature of his evi
dence were regarding his position and
relation to the strike.
- The witness . denied that he ' directed
Jenree to go to North Omaha as a spy. He
had talked with him, but told him he could
act on his own responsibility. He had
never threatened Jenree, but had talked
with him In reference to the needs of his
family, and referred him to Archers and
Stephens. Upon cross-examination Mr.
Stephens said his duties were to take up
grievances and the matter of wage scales
and organise unions. He was not a member
of the Packing Trades council.
"From the standpoint of the international
organization, I had control of the strike
In South Omaha, but I acted under the
orders and Instructions of the interna
tional," said Mr. Vail. "The policy of the
strike was outlined by the International
and under 1U direction I did issue oc
casional orders to strikers and the strike
committee, but this was always done at
their meetings. I had to do J.gretsbrabm
their meetings, , I had nothing to do with
picketing. That was wholly In the hands
of the picket committee of the ' Packing
Trades council, of which I' waa not a mem
ber, neither was the Trades council under
my control.. It waa through my Orders
that two carloads of strike breakers were
permitted to go into Swift's 'without moles
tation," i
The hearing adjourned at 8:18 until 9:30
this morning.
ADDED SWITCHING CHARGE
Tore Dollars a Car - on Grata to Con
necting- Mnea Bxaetee by
B. e M.
D. O. Ives, general freight agent of the
B. A M., announces another additional
charge for switching grain at this point
and at Council Bluffs. Heretofore there
has been a charge of He, car for switching
grain to connecting lines, this rate being
absorbed by the line receiving the grain.
This late announcement Imposes an addi
tional charge of $2 a car. This does not
apply to grain going from the B. & M. to
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulnc llrfea or
on grain held here and subsequently con
signed via the Burlington. No additional
charge Is made for grain going to teaming
tracks or any plaoe on the Burlington sys
tem.
What the grain men think of this new
move, on the part of the Burlington la
shown by the following. C. T. Feavey
said:
"They tried this thing on the grain dealers
at Kansas City, but the Boara of Trade and
the grain exchange got out and fought It,
and the fight was to a finish. The Burling
ton is trying to kill Omaha aa a grain
market, and this charge la a tax equal to
U of a cent a bushel on grain. Heretofore
the componlos have absorbed the switching
charge, but I do not believe It is right, nor
do I believe the other companies will ab
sorb all charges the Burlington cares -to
put upon grain at this point. What Is
needed to make a grain market la -the free
and untrammeled right to route our grain

anywhere we want to. The rate from tvere

ing from nearby points, 2o to 2S0 miles,
pays much more than this west of the river.
The Burlington Is Iniponlng too much on
other roads and on grain."
Said E. C. Twamlry: "The Rurllngton
now Imposes an extra charge for switching
on Its own account In ordvr to force ship
pers to route grain through over that road.
We have heretofore been entitled lo one
free setting to team track, lo elevator or
lo connecting Unci and now they h;ive im

connecting line absorbs. We have no
knowledge thftt the other lines will nauine
this charge, and If they do not. It will
work a great injury to the grain business
of Omaha and also of Oounrlt Bluffs, nnd if
they do. It Is an Imposition on them."
