peatedly checked, they came on with bull

the Russian positions with the' bayonet.
There were many bloody hand-to-hand en
counters. By noon the Japanese actually
succeeded In occupying a portion of the
Russian trenches. Then General Kouro
patkin sent forward the reserves, deliver
ing a erles-of counter attacks-recaptured
the lost positions and drove back he Japa
nese all. along the line. .........
' The, attack on, the confer;, having failed,
the second half of the flgh. began at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japa
nese tried to turn and roll, up' the Russian
right.' Here also they failed, but only aftel
a desperate struggle, which was continual
until 9 o'clock at night, .ijteserves dis
patched .in time by General Kooropatkln at
last succeeded not only in checking the
Japanese,' but enveloping and driving them
back In iConfuslon. .
During the prog-rest of the battle Oea
eral' ICouropatkin encouraged his men jbn
the fighting line by sending out the news
of the repulse of the attacks upon Port
Arthur August 26.
The Japanese flank movement from the
west began Monday from Chandiapudsl,
three miles southeast of Shanthe, which IS
eleven miles northwest of Llao Yang.
One of the striking features of the battle
was the splendid work of the Russian ar
tillery, in which arm the Japanese here
tofore, have excelled. In a dispatch filed
late last night by one of the Associated
Press' Russian correspondents, he says
that a report was current at Llao Yang
that forty-six Japanese guns were cap
tured during the day. There Is great re
joicing In St. Petersburg over the news
on the bulletin boards. The dippatches
posted there are surrounded by eager
crowds. The officials of the War office,
although they have not yet received ad
vices in regard to today's events, are in
high spirits. The Japanese, who have
been continuously advancing for a week';
are now said to be utterly exhausted after
yesterday's hard and unsuccessful ftghtlpg.
and no doubt exists here that If the op
portunity offers General Kuropatkln will
not fall to follow up the advantage he has
achieved. -

CHICAGO, Aug. Jl. Twenty-live hundred
retail druggists In the United States were
declared guilty of coatempt of court by
Judge Dunne of the circuit court today
and the National Association of Retail
Druggists, of which they are members, was
fined 12.000, while Thomas V. Wooten, tec
retary of the organisation, was fined $500.
The cases against five wholesale drug
gists of Chicago, also accused of contempt.
were continued until the fall term of court,
when. It will be' necessary for them to take
additional proof into court to purge them
of the contempt charges..
Terms of the Injunction.
The injunction under .which the drug
gists' association was fined was secured by
Inaao Piatt, a retail druggist of Chicago,
in November, 1902, and, restrained them
from Interfering in any manner with the
securing of supplies by Piatt, who had In
curred Nthe association's displeasure, It was
charged, because he would not Join It.
"Piatt has beefi deprived of the right In
this community to sell goods," Judge Dunne
said in rendering his decision. "Nothing

Piatt charges that he has been blacklisted

fense upon the plea that Piatt wai at
tempting to sell the goods at wholesale,
thus cutting the prices. Piatt has fought
the association for two years In the , courts
and it was charged in court that the as
sociation several times asked him to give
up the fight and Join the alleged combina

FIGHT MAY LAST MANY DAYS
Nearly Half Million Men and Fifteen
Hundred Gini Are Engaged.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1.-2 a. m.
With the knowledge that the Russian and
Japanese armies about Llao Yang are
locked in a death struggle the tension' In
St. Petersburg tonight t strained to the
utmost. It Is believed here that the fight
cannot atop short of the crushing defeat of
one side or the other.
All reports so far are favorable to the
Russians, though the suspension of all
news for many hours has been exceed
ingly trying and has given rise to several
rumors somewhat tempering the earlier en
thusiasm. It is stated officially, however,
that the report that the railway and tele
graph have been cut north of Llao Yang
la untrue. A member of the general staff
said to the Associated Press at midnight:
"I can assure you that up to this hour
communication with Llao ' Yang-, has not
been Interrupted. General Kauropatkin
ha taken particular precautions agalnat
any attempt to cut the railway.-. While It la
always possible that a small raiding party
might . s4lp '. through the Russian patrols
or that hired Chinese bandits might cut
the wires, it Is a fair supposition that this
has not been done."
The highest military authorities here con
sider that . the most critical stage of the
battle has not yet been reached, and they
believe the fight may continue some time
before either aide acknowledges defeat
This Is an Important consideration by the
light of which to Interpret any Immediate
newt It is thought here that in view of
the numbers engaged, the desperateneas of
the assaults and the length of the line
(about seven miles), the losses in the two
days' fighting cannot fall short of 10,000
on each side. Doth sides are -straining
every nerve, realising that the fortunes of
war for a whole year are In .the scale,
and neither, aide Is In -the mood or the
position td spare men In the effort to
achieve a final victory.
The battle of Llao Yang will probably
rank as one of the great sanguinary bat
tles of history. It Is estimated by the gen
eral staff that the Japanese armies en
gaged rAimber seventeen divisions 'of 15,000
men each, or allowing for Inefflolents, about
240,000 men. Each division has ' thirty-six
guns, anM . there are two Independent ar
tillery brigades of 100 guns each, making a
total of about 800 guns. The estimates of
Russian correspondents range at from 600
to 1,000 guns per side.
' In the preliminary fighting of Monday
the Russians captured 200 prisoners, who
have already arrived at Harbin, and re
port persist that they captured over forty
Japanese guns yesterday.
General Kouropatkin'a effective force
ar variously estimated at from 170,000 to
200,000 men.
The Japanese on Wednesday morning at
tacked three sides of the Russian position.
One of the Associated Press correspond
ents also mentions a Japanese movement
to the northeast of Llao. Yang, showing
that the Japanese were undoubtedly try
ing to work around Kouropatkln' rear.
On of the surprising phase of the situa
tion Is the-endurance of the men. They
have been- engaged desperately for two
days, aftri more or less' severe fighting
under Unfavorable conditions 'every day
since August 21 It would seem that human
endurance could not persist much longer
without respite of apme sort.
The Japanese are ualng balloons to lo
cate the Russian guns 'and trenches. One
of -he Russian correspondent of tha A-s-
i
oclatea Press points' Mil -that the Japanese
sent up a balloon shortly after daylight to
the southwest of Llao Yang. The Japanese
are reported-to -be tains mortars to drop
shell in the. Russian positions. 1 These are
pro ably the high angle fire howltsers
which were reported "In action earlier In
the week. J '
It Is plain, however, .that the Japanese
are no longer enjoying the superiority in
artillery which stood them In such good
stead In" the earlier months of the war.
It was then hill fighting and the Japanese
mountain batteries. In which arms the Run
sians were deficient, told with deadly ef
fect. Now the contest Is In a,compara
tlvely opro country iwher both the Rus
sian field gun and the- Russian cavilry
can come Into more effective use.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-At th convention
of the United Irish League of America
there was no official program for the pro
ceedlngs, but most of the morning session

Secretary John O'Callaghan read a letter
of regret from President Roosevelt. Let

Secretary O'Callaghan said that while
the league had added materially to Its
strength. Influence and numbers during the
past year, he believed that still greater
progress could be made In the future.
He recommended that the new national
committee be clothed with the power to re-
KIace mbembers of the committee who
showed themselves to be indifferent to the
succes of the cause. ,
The report of Treasurer 8. T. Fltspatrlck
showed that nearly all the states In the
union contributed to the general fund. Tho
money collected since October, 1902,
amounted to $61,663.
The platform adopted by the convention
after renewing the pledge of the league al
leglance to the cause of Irish national in
dependence, the right of Ireland to have a
parliament of her own, says:

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
.. ! -. i :
Hyomsl Goes to th Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing
cure"
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pil,' liquid medicines and ' so-called ' sys
tem tonics. Under uch treatment 'the
germs of the disease will still live In the
air passages and Increase and multiply.
Hyomel Is the only scientific and thor
ough way to cure catarrh. ' Killing tha
germs in the air passages, it enter th
blood with the oxygen, destroys the mi
crobe in the blood and effectively drive
from tho system all traces of catarrhal
poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that oan
be offered as to tho powers of Hyomel to
cure catarrh is the fact that The Sherman
& McConnell Drug Co., wllj agree to re
fund the money If you say Hyomel has not
cured you. " "' . '
The complete Hyomel outfit ' costs , but
11.00 and consist of an Inhaler that can. be
carried In the vest pocket, .a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomel. The in
haler last a lifetime, and If pne bottle
doe not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomel
can be obtained for. 60 cents, ' ;
