A., returned to Che Poo after an adventurous attempt to enter Port Arthur. Leaving Che Poo August 25, Major Seaman proceeded to Taklntan, one of the Miautaul islands. Unable to obtain a Junk hero, ho secured a lifeboat belonging to a steamer reeontly wrecked and with four coolies as oaismen and the third uiato of the wrecked steamer he started for Port Arthur. He carried a makeshift Amorican Hag with twenty-two stripes. A head wind and a strong tide com pelled Major Seaman to return to his starting place at nightfall. He slept on the pebbly beach. On August 28 ho secured a small junk and with a favorable wind sped toward Port Arthur. He passed a Japanese cruiser unnoticed and saw four battleships in the vicinity of the harbor's mouth. His Junk drifted too close to tho shore and it vvas lired upon by Japanese illl'inon. Discovering tho impossibility oi landing in the face of tho shore guard and warships, Major Seaman reluctantly returned. It is reported here upon good au thority that tho Japanoso have cap tured sjmo Russian officers bound to Port Arthur with important papers. These officers loft Mukden and at tempted to get Into Port Arthur by junk. Pur somo time past a Japan eso torpedo boat has been at sea watching for this Junk, and accord ing to tho report she overtook it at 1 o'clock this morning and took the officers, the papers and tho junk into Port Daily. Tho advance positions of the Jap anese beforo Port Arthur are now near fort No. 5 on the east of Pallc huang,on tho north and at Huklaton and Yangtowang, on tho west. Chinese who left Port Arthur on August 28 say that neither sldo was then occupying fort No 5.

That Ger. shon H. Marx, now held In the Nor wich county jail, is tho perpetrator of a series of cold blooded murders, probably without preccdont in the history of Connecticut, is the belief of officials who began a systematic seaich for bodies on tho Maix larni. Pour murders and the attempt to poison another man can. it is claimed bv theso officials, be traced to Marx. Tho bodies of two of Marx's alloyed victims, J oo Pa vol and Joe Palm, have been found. Marx is awaiting trial charged with tho murder ot I'avol, his wifo bolng held as a wit ness, for the state. Tho two bodies for which tho search was begun are those of an eighteen year old boy and a Ilebrow pedlar. The boy, who was known as Harry, arrived In New York from Russia about throe years ago and he camo hero soon after to work for Marx. IIo worked on the farm about six months and then suddenly dlsap pfarpd. Marx said ho had gone to Ilartlord to find employment. The Herbew pedlar went to tho Marx farm ono evening two years .igo, and ho has not boen seen active since so far as known. Does not Need Militia.

' RUSSIAN'S WITHDRAW I'KOH roil .11 Kit J'OSI TION. Ktimlcl Cro.r Rlvnr Talto mid tlinncet Aspect or KngnKMiicnt KlKlitliifr of a Hitch Cliaraotvr, ST. PETERSHURO.-Tho news of the occupation of Liao Yang and the withdrawal of the Russian army to tho right bank of tho Taltse river reached only a small section of tho peoplo of St. Petersburg at a lato hour and caused intunso excitoment and disappointment. The majority of the Inhabitants retlrod to rest believing that .Russian arms had been successful, and that the Japan ese attacks had been repelled. Ugly suspicions, however, havo been rife during tho day owing to the absenco of press telegrams from Liao Yang, leading to tho belief that communi cations had been cut by General Kuroki. "General Kurokl's army crossed o tho right bank of the Tall so liver and it therefore bocamo neces sary for tho Russlans'.to be in a posi tion to repeal a. blow In this direc tion. "In view of tills develnpeinent In the operations General Kuropatkin decided to abandon his positions on the left bank and to concentrate his whole army on tho other side of the liver. This position ts the strongest both in charatcer and in site. The gieat issue will be linally decided there. "Uy withdrawing to this position, the Russian army avoids the neces sity of being divided by the river and onjovs tho advantago of com pactness. "General Kuropatkln's move, therefore, Is nob to bo considered as a retreat, but rather as tho carrying out of a well delined idea. "The withdrawal of tho Russians to the right bank involved tho aban donment of Lluo Yang, which is si mated oo tho loft bank. The Japancso took advantage ot this to occupy the city, hut the sternest part of tho lighting Is still before them unless General Kurokaptkin decides at tho last hour to again fall back to tho northward. It is more than likely, however, that he will decide to tight to a tinish. The cards are all in his faror, it Is belli- ved, now that he has tho Japanese divided by the river, thus effect ually turning the tables upon his foe "The determined pursuit by the Japanese of the Russian outposts when General Kuropatkin gave tho llrst ordor to wl tho raw was probably due to their anxiety to keep tho Russians south of Liao Yung until General Kuroki should be able to strike from the northoasr. General Kuropatkin, however, saw tho trip and cleverly avoided it." These preparations necessitated the establishment of a pontoon bridge as the river was not fordablc lower than Sakanwantun and the pontoon must have been floated down tho stream. The efforts of tho Jipancse to cross the river on August HO wore not successful and General Kuroki therefore ordered a portion of his army to ford It at Sakankankantun. General Kuropatkin was unable to prevent the passago of the river owing to tho distance from Liao Yang, about twenty miles, but for tho same reason tho Jap. i nose wero unable to hi ing the forces which gained tho right bank Immediately into motion.

A few additional details of tho progress of the battle of Liao Yang reached Toio at a lato hour. General Kurokl's right is continu ing to press the attack at Ilelylngtal, seeking ground whciico tho) r guns will domlnato tho railroad. Tho troops under General Kuroki aio jaded and weary. They have been inarching and lighting slnco August U, but in spite of tins they attacked with spirit. Tho Japanese are con liclent that they already have swept bade the strong Russian force with which they havo boon one .god, and It Is probable that when the details are known it will bo found that a great tragedy was enacted along the Taltse river. Tho Taitso Is Hooded and canoot.bo forded. General Oku, in command of the Japanese left army, has directed Ills enerules to forcing the Russians to the river, and it Is probable that many were drowned there. A private dispatch received here reports that great lires are raging at Liao Yang. This statement is not continued officially. Theso Hies aio believed to result from tho Japanese shelling or from tho efforts of tno Russians to destroy their stores pre paratory to tho evacuation of Liao Yang, with tho additional hopo if injuring the city as a future Jap anese base. Unofficial estimates place the Rus sian forces in tho vicinity of Liao Yang at lifetcn divisions of in, 000 men each. Theso are probably ex cessive, but it Is evident that num erically the Russians exceed tho Jap anese. Tbo opinion that tho Russian cas ualties in the recent lighting will reach 110,000 Is confidently expressed in high quartets here. Neither Klold Marshal Oyarna nor the Japanese army cominandere have yot estimated the Russian losses. It seems that the Japanese avoided a direct assault in Liao Yang itself, but devoted their energies to the troops outside the city In an elTort to cut off tho Russian retreat. Liao Yang is stro' gly fortified and It Is probable that the Japanese will not attack the city directly until they have succeeded in isolating It. Should the Russians abandon Liao Yang the Jananeso will of oourso enter It. The fighting at Liao Yang wais continued until a late hour and. It was resumed at dawn. The fate of the great buik of tho retreating Russian army hinges upon tho bravery and fortitude of its left Hank. Hcforo falling back General Kuro. patkin Intended that his left to the eastward and northward of Liao Vang should he greatly strengthened in the hope of ohecking General Kurokl's advance around his llock and to protect his lino of retreat and communication. The greatest portion of this pnitcotlon force scorns to havo been mussed in the neighborhood of Ilelylngtal, twelve miles northeast of Lloa Yang, where It was vigorously assaulted by Gen oral Kuro'il at 11 o'clock Thursday morning. The result of this lighting is not known. If Kuroki wins and st-ikes tho Hank or the lolroatlng Russian army and reaches the rail road it will plaro the Russians In a most seilous predicament.
