RUSSIANS WITHDRAW TO THE LEFT DANK OF TAIT3E RIVER. ADVANCE OFJHE JAPANESE Kuroki's Army Crosses the River on Pontoon Bridge Japanese Casual ties Since August 20 Estltmatcd at Ten Thousand. TOKIO Tho Japanese loft began proving tho Russinns toward Ttnzho at dawn Friday morning. Tho Japan nco right Is engaged In tho neighbor hood of Helylnglal. Tho Jnpanoso casualties since Au gust 29 nro olllclally estimatod nt 10,000. ST. PETERSBURG Tho news of Uio occupation of Lino Yang by tho Japanese nnd the withdrawal of tho Russian army to tho right bank of tho Tnitso river reached only n small section of tho peoplo of St. Peters burg at a lato hour ami caused lntenso excitement und disappointment. Tho innjorlty of the Inhabitants retired to rost believing that Russinns arms had again been successful nnd that tho Jnpanoso attacks hod been repelled. Ugly suspicions, however, havo been rife during tho duy, owing to tho nb senco of press telegrams from Lino Ynng. loading to the belief that tho communications had been cut by Gen eral Kurokl. Tho following statement was ob tained by tho Associated Press from tho war ofllco at 10 o'clock Thursday night: "General Kuroki's army crossed In forco to tho right bank of tho Haltso rlvor, and It thereforo becamo neces sary for tho Russians to bo In n po sition to repel a blow in this direc tion. "In view of this dcvclspmcnt In tho operations General Kouropatkin decided to abandon his positions on tho left bank nnd to conccnarato his whole army on tho other sldo of tho river. This position Is the strongest both "in character and In site. Tho great Issuo will finally bo decided there. "lly withdrawing to this position, tho Russian nrmy nvolds tho neces sity of being divided by tho river and enjoys tho ndvantago of com pactness. "General Kouropatkin's move, there fore, Is not to bo considered as a retreat, but ratlicr ns tho carrying out of n well doflned Idea." Tho withdrawal of tho Russians to tho right bank Involved tho abandon ment of Lino Yang, which Is situated on tho left bank. The Japanese took ndvantago of this to occupy tho city, but the sternest part of the lighting Is still boforo them unless General Kouropatkin decides nt tho last hour to again fall back to tho northward. It Is more than likely, however, that ho will decide to light to n finish. The cards aro all In his favor, It Is believed, now that ho has tho Japan ese divided by tho river, thus effect ually turning the tables up his foe. CANNOT FIND RUSSIAN SHIPS. Dritish Cruisers Fall to Take Message to Volunteer Vessels. LONDON Tho efforts of tho Brit ish cruisers of tho Cape of Good Hopo squadron to establish communication with tho Russian volunteer Hoot steamers Smolensk and St. Petersburg havo thus far failed. Tho admiralty rocolvcd lato Thursday afternoon a dispatch from Rear Admiral Durnfnrd announcing Mint nouo of his ships had cnught sight of or had heard by wire less telegraphy from either of tho Russian cruisers. Ho was directed to contlnuo tho senrch nnd another crui ser was ordered to report to him nnd Join the search. In Russian diplomatic circles- it Is said that It la not surprising that nolther of tho Russian crulsors had put Into an African port to coal, for tho reason that beforo they sailed Black sa colliers preceded them with ihstructldna to tranhrcr coal nt certain specified points. Subway Muddle Ye Unsettled. NEW YORK Another fruitless cf fort to settle tho thrcatoued trouble between tho Interborough Rapid Transit company and tho employes was mado by committees representing both lntero3ts.

ST. PETERSBURG Even Into Monday night tho greatest uncertain ty prcvnlls regarding the actual situation nt Llao Ynng. Thero la ln tenso nnxloty for doflnlto howb from tho front, but even tho authorities aro frankly Ignorant as to whether or not tho long expected decisive no tion will bo fought nt Lino Yang or further north. It Is possiblo thnt n great battle Is now proceeding nnd thero nro many Indications that such is the case. If- this Is so, tho fato of this year's cnmpntgn may bo settled within forty-eight hours. At tho samo time, opinion Is nlmost equnlly divided, many believing that General Kuro patkln will not make n determined stand nnd that tho Japanese will crack tho shell, only to find that the bird has flown. PULLMAN SHOPS TO CLOSE. Seven Thousand Men Will Be Out of Employment. CHICAGO. Tho great shops or the Pullman company are to shut down on Septembor 1 and thousands of men employed In tho vnrious departments of tho car building corporation will bo without work.

These men nro engaged In llnishlng tho construction of cars already un der way, and when these aro ready for tho rails the shops will bo closed and the plant rendered idle. Tho plant may remain closed for more than a mouth. IS A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE. Forts Change Hands Repeatedly at Port Arthur. CHE FOO. A Chinese who lived near Rlhlungeshan declares that ho saw the Russians occupying this fort, from which previous reports stated that they had been driven. Probably both reports wero correct nt the time they wero current, as semi-official ad vices state that many positions about tho fortress chnnge hands repeatedly. Tho fighting, which began on tho 27th soon became general. While the Chinese wero at sea August 28, tho heavy firing was resumed. Two Junks containing contraband of war woro sunk by a Jnpnneso tor pedo boat ten miles off Linotl prom ontory. It is said that fort No. 5 has changed hands four times nnd is now unoccupied. WORE LIBERAL TO FINLAND. Policy of Russiflcatlon Possibly Sus pended. ST. PETERSBURG. Tho Imperinl decree convening tho Finnish diet not only convokes it this year, but makes provisions for its meetings three years hence, thus foreshadowing reg ular meetings of tho diet nt Intervals of not loss than fivo years. In acocrd anco with tho letter of the Finnish constitution, for tho first time since tho grand duchy camo under Russian sovereignty. Thnt such a step lira been taken possibly indicates the sus pension of the policy of tho Russiti"n tion of Finland to which the late Min ister of tho Interior Plehvo was com mitted.

THE SECOND JAY'S CONFLICT Nearly Half a Million Men Engaged in a Battle That May Mean a Crush Ing Defeat for One Side or tho Other. ST. PETERSBURG, With tho knowlcdgo that tho Russian and Jap anese armies nbout Llao Yang aro locked in a death Btrugglo tho tension in St. Petersburg is strained to the utmost. It is bolieved hero that tho fight ennnot stop short of tho crush ing defeat of ono sldo or tho other. All reports so far nro favorablo to thn Russians, though tho suspension of all news for many hours has been exceedingly trying and has given rlso to several rumors, somewhat temper ing, tho earlier enthusiasm. It Is stated officially, however, that the re port that tho railway and telegraph havo been cut north of Llao Yang Is untrue. A member of tho general staff said to tho Associated Press at midnight: "I can nssuro you that up to this hour communication with Liao Yang has not been Interrupted. General Kuro patkin has taken particular precau tions ngalnst nny attempt to cut tho railway. While It Is always possible that a small raiding party might slip through tho Russlnn patrols or that hired Chlneso bandits might cut tho wire, It Is n fair supposition that this has not boon dono." Tho highest military authorities hero consider that tho moat critical stage of tho battle has not yet been reached, and they bellcvo tho fight may contlnuo for somo time beforo nither side acknowledges defeat. Tills is an important consideration by tho light of which to interpret nny im mediate news. It Is thought hero that in view of the numbers engaged? tho desperatcnesB of tho assaults and the length of tho lino (about seven miles), tho losses in tho two dnyB' fighting cannot fall short of 10,000 on each side. Both sides are straining every nervp, renlizlng thnt the fortunes of war for n whole year aro In the scnlc, and neither sldo Is In tho mood or tho position to spare men In the effort tc achieve a final victory. Tho battle of Llao Yang will prob ably rank as ono of tho great sanguin ary battles of history. It Is estimated by tho general staff that tho Japan esn armies engaged number seven teen divisions of 15,000 men each, or nllowing for Inefllcients, about 240,000 men. Each division has thirty six guns, niid there are two independ ent artillery brigades of 100 guns ench, making a total of about 800 guns1 Tho estimates of Russian corre spondents range at from COO to 1,000 jnins per side. in tho preliminary fighting on Mon day tho Russians captured 200 pris oners, who have .already arrived at Harbin, and report persists that they captured over forty Japanese guns yes" torday. General Kuropatkln's effective forces nro variously estimated at from 170,000 to 200.000 men. Tho Japaneso Wednesday morning attacked three sides of the Russian po sition. Ono of tho Associated Pre" correspondents also mentions a Jap aneso movement to the northeast of Liao Yang, showing that tho Japan ese were undoubtedly trying to work around Kuropatkln's rear. Ono of the surprising phases of the situation Is the endurance of tho men. They hnvo been engaged desperately for two days, after mora or less se vere fighting under unfavorable condl tlons every day since August 21. It would seem that human endurance could not persist much longer without respite of somo sort. MURDERER OF VON PLEHVE. Question of Whether He Will Be Tried by Court Martial. ST. PETERSBURG Tho statement In theso dispatches last week that Sasoneff, tho assassin of Minister of the Interior Von Plelive, had been sen tenced to death proves to bo incor rect. Tho question ns to whether tho assassin will bo tried by court mar tial or by civil court has not yet been decided. This Is one of the questions that tho now minister of the Interior will havo to pass upon, tho fact that St. Petersburg Is technically In u state of siege giving tho minister this power. Balmnshcff, tho murderer of M. Sip Ingidne. M. Von Plehvo's predecessor, was tried by court martial. It Is ex pected that the emperor will appoint a new minister of tho Interior as soon as ho returns from tho Don. Servla to Extend Railroads. BELGRADE, Servla.
