Of course It Is realized here that If the railroad north of Mukden Is cut the posi 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 win! The rain, which has again been falling In Manchuria, jvlll probably serve the Rus sians much more than the Japanese, as their retirement s soon as they reach the railroad will not be Impeded, whereas It Is likely to almost completely stop the Jap anese forward movement. 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 menced AuguVt?7. . H. 1 The arrw.ng'empni of the fortifications at Port Arthur is described iy a Russian sur veyor as slmifar to a chess board, upon T51 F TIIE OMAHA which every fort with respect to the tone covered by its artillery has the moving powers of the queen In the game of chess, t'p to the present time tha Jspanese have mtde no attempt to occupy any one Im portant fort without being subjected to a resistless fire from various directions from the other forts. 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.

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." FIRE AND POLICE MATTERS Board Looks Over List of Furnishings for Key Station Honse Soon , to Be Occupied.
