road Is still 'open for hla retirement northward,-
while the Japanese armlet, which
must act in Unison, are separated by the
river, which places Kouropatkln In a posi
tion to oppose Kurokl with his whole army
while Generals Oku and Nodau are
stranded on the other side, -which gives
Kouropatkln a possible opportunity to imi

Sixteenth and Dougtet St
Ct across yesterday Is not definitely ( es
tablished, the War office not having yet
received complete advlcea, the latest in
formation being that the crossing of the
river was not being Interfered with.
In view of the Toklb dispatch received
this morning it is posslbls the troops form
ing the Russian screen and a portion of
the Russian right flank did not succeed
In crossing the river. There are two good
regular bridges at Llao Tang over which
the Russian crossing was effected and there
Is a railroad bridge about two miles down
the stream.
The Tokio report that Kurokl's fofces
were in action at K'iyingtal, north of the
Taltse river, Indicates that General Kouro
patkln has already engaged him with a
portion of hla army. - .
It.' Is understood . that throughout the
fighting of the last few days Kouropatkln's
main reserves did not leave their position
on the right bank of the river.-
The report that telegraphic communica
tion between Llao Tang and Mukden had
been eevered Is not admitted at the War
offlce. which points out that It has only
been receiving two telegrams dally from
Generals Kouropatkln and Sakharoff. Two
were received yesterday and two are ex
pected today, although none has beerf de
livered up to noon. , ,
The absence of press telegrams Is ex
plained, as announced In these dispatches
yesterday, by the transfer of the head
telegraph office at Llao Tang to Shekhe,
fifteen miles north, which was necessitated
by the fact that Japanese shells were
dropping Into the office, although-the office
was - situated 1 on the north' 'bank , of the

. At 4 o'clock this afternoon tha War office
received a dispatch from Peterhof, sent to
the emperor last night by General Kouro
patkln, dated I o'clock yesterday after
noon. As transmitted to tho War offlce for
publication the Information is extremely
meager and only reveals the truth In the
light of tha Interpretation of those who
are conversant with the situation at Llo
Tang. It Is possible that this Is Justifiable
on strategy grounds. Aa communicated to
the press the dlspatoh states that an ar
tillery battle proceeded until tha hour of
sending It and that the Ruaalaiut were re
tiring upon their- "main positions." that
General Kurokl was attacking the Russian
left north of tha Taltse river, that tha rail
road station, which ia altuated a mile
northwest of Llao Tang, had been set on
fir by Japanese shells, that the station had
been transferred across the river to a
point on the north bank, that Kouropatkln
had passed In review ' the Third Siberian
corps, under General Ivanoff, which suf
fered greatly In the earlier stages of the
battle on the east rront, and finally that
the Russian losses for two days were S,000
killed -or wounded. .
The dispatch as given out, therefore, does
not admit that General Kouropatkln la
withdrawing across the Taltse river en
tirely. It la possible that owing to the
pressure of the Japanese the Russian atmy,
aa stated k In the Toklo dlipatohea, was
thrown Into confusion and greatly tam
pered. ' V
In light of tb knowledge that the "main
positions" of the Russians aro oo the rottb
bank of the river, the dlspitoA. becomes In
telligible. The artillery tight during tb
day makes it evident that a screen of Auh
slan guna was used to aover the movement
across the river. Tho gu'hsJon the north
bank doubtless also were errA'foyed fit this,
purpose, being placed so as to froteot the
railroad bridge spanning this Taltsk
The review of the Third Siberlun corps,
mentioned In- the dispatch, probably efers
to a march past of the troops while cross
ing the river, It being imiaibie to ap
pose that a format review oxvu-red while
the battle was in ' progress.' "
At 4:80 o'clock thhr aftemon the War
office said It was entirely without news
of today's fighting, but ttdded tha. the
railroad between Llao Tan and Mukden
was open. No press dispones from Ihs
front bad arrived- up to the same hour.
Th suspense Jn Bt. Petersburg Is intense
sjid th town is filled wl'.h all kinds of
rumors, ranglnr from a cvmpl.ite victory

defeat or the Russians. ...

Sagamore Hill in time for luncheon. . .
After his conference with ' the president,
which he anld was principally of a personal
nature. Senator Beverldge said;
"I dlaMke to make pollUcat predictions,
but It appears to me that the fight prac

Unless there should be a democratic land
slide, and there are no Indications of such
tiling, I believe Roosevelt will be elected
by the biggest majority a president has
received sine the civil war. I think Parker
will be defeated even more decisively than
Bryan was in either of his campaigns. As
to Indiana, I do not care to talk. We have
been steadily Increasing our gains in the,
state for several years. In the last elea
tlon we had a majority of 85,000. I see, no
reason why we should not Increase . that
majority this fall. Of the four congres

I think we shall capture at least one."
Jl'DGB PARKER CHANGES PI. AM
H Abandon Proposed Trip to St.
Lonla Fair.
ESOPUS, N. T., Sept. 2. There was con
siderable surprise at Rosemount this even
ing when a correction was made of a state
ment issued In the morning to the effect
that Alton B. Parker and ' his wife hnd
completed their arrangements for a St.
Louis trip. It is now announced that Judge
Parker has changed his mind In regard to
the trip and in all probability will not leave
Rosemount again during the campaign. It
la understood that good reasons were pre
sented to Parker In argument against the
proposed trip, and that the abandonment
of the program is the result. Bo far as
I now Intended Parker will make no
speeches during the campaign.
Henry Watterson spent soma time at
Rosemount today talking over the cam
paign with Mr. Parker. After the confer
ence Mr. Watterson said he felt confident
of the' election of Parker. He had gone
through seven campaigns and thought he
knew whereof he spoke. He said the Inde
pendent voter probably would decide . the
election and that Independent voters wer
going to Parker every day. He added:
I was in seven cunsecutive conventions
and feel that I have done my part. I' was
asked to make an address next Wednes
day night, to the democratic editors who
are to meet In New Tork and I have ac
cepted. Of course It is probable that I
may talk some politics at that time. I
have found that I can talk best about
currrent topics. The morning papers glvo
me plenty of subject matter as a rule. On
this occasion I have decided to speak from
the subject "If I Wer a Republican." My
talk will not be a discussion of issues to
any great ' extent. It will come nearer
being the- philosophy of politics based on
the present conflict. If I were a repub
lican now I would vote fr . Parker k and
in' my address I will io'.l why I would- vote
for him." ... , , .. : ; . i
. Mr. Watterson. had never wet VjidK
Parker, though- Judge Parker' knows;-MC
Watterson. In 1880 Judge Parker listened
to the' Kentucky' editor whterf,'qe hiade a
vehement denunciation of the New Tork
delegation to the democratic- national con
vention at Cincinnati. Judge Parker said
afterward that Colonel Watterson had ext.
pressed, tha views he would- have liked to
deliver to th delegation. Colonel Watter
son and his family will sail for Europe
on November' 16 and will spend the winter

?li Dall. Telegraph continues: "On of
the most exciting problems ever known in
war has be.m narrowed down to one point,
namely: Whether a part of the retreating
army will succeed in tearing through
lental, leaving many thousands of men and
some hundreds of guns behind them, or
whether General Kurokl will rivet the iron
ring by hammering blows. Perhaps a
seventh day fight must be waged before
the issue can be Anally declared." '
The Dally Telegraph's military critic, in
common with other English experts, sees
nothing but a superior Japanese force and
strategy to account for General Kouropat
kln's present position. This authority pre
dicts an endeavor on the part of the Rus
sian force to reach Chinese territory.
The Standard bluntly voloe the thought
of many by saying. "It is retreat or route?"
.The Standard says that General Kouro
patkln, in his 'precarious condition is not
without some prospects of avoiding the
signal catastrophe of a aurrenaer enmasse,
if he. can still get away to the -north, even
with th loss of many guna and valuable)
supplies, th success of th Japanese will
be good deal modified."
Th Time compares the battle of Lao
Tang to those of Wagr'am, Leipzig, Konlg
grata and Gravelotte, but It eays: "We still
hav to learn whether the Japanese reaped
the fruits of vtotory In such abundnnt
measure ss to make the battle the thor
oughly decisive turning point of the war. !

From the news thus far available, there
seems to be a strong probability that they
will be' able to do so."
The' Times' Toklo correspondent, cabling
Friday, Bays: "The premature rumors of
the fall of Llao Tang are repeated today,
but a careful analysis of official reports
Bhows that the Russians have merely been
driven Into their Inst line of defenses, where
they will probably make a desperate re
slstence. Three Japanese armies are clos
ing around them."
CONFIDENCE AT ST. PETERSBURG
Belief that Konropntkin Has Situation
Well in Hand.
BT. PETERSBURG, Sept. . 8:10 a. m.
The text of the dispatch sent to the csar
by General Kouropatkln Thursday evening,
the gist of which was cabled by the Asso
ciated Press at 4:00 o'clock Friday, was
not made public Friday night, as expeoted.
Itwao- promised to the local press, and
waited for with teMeriah Impatience until
I o'clock this morning, when It was an
nounced it would be Issued today. All the
news as far as St. Petersburg is concerned
Is contained in - telegrams from foreign
sources and there is painful suspense
awaiting news from Russian sources.
Continued and dogged confidence In Gen
eral Kouroptftkln la expressed In many
quarters acd the publio generally a well
as the military authorities refused to be
lieve that Llao Tang had been abandoned,
or if it has that General Kouropatkln 1
not in a better position to. make a strong
stand north of the Taltse river.
There seemed to be an air of considerable
confidence at Peterhof Friday night. An
official who saw the csaf Friday after
noon said that he was extremely confident
and In good' spirits. Experts, who are
familiar with' the nature of the intricate
and powerful defenses, constructed north of
the Taltse river by General Vlitchko, one
of Russia's foremost army engineers, be
lieve that the Japanese are facing an al
most Impossible task in attacking them,
especially with dit'lded forces.
It is pointed out that General Kurokt will
have to make a tdetour 'to reunite his
force. The bridgetlheads abutting on the
north bank or th Taltse river are strongly
defended by entrenched artillery, whi e.'lt
i nairl that there is a strong rear guard
still on the south bank to contest tha
Japanese advance, thus making the bridges
uttarlv Imoraotlcable for a. Jauanea cross
inir Th Htfer Itself, therefore, becomes
an Important factor in th general
anhema bf defense.
A tmnora.rv lull in th fighting would
not b surprising. The men on both eldc
hav already '' made almost supernuman
effort and it Is thought that there must
soon b a letup of some sort.
Th rannrb that Rear Admiral Prince
Ouktomskyj' now in command of th naval
force at Port Arthur, Is to be court-mar
tilH lankB oonflrmatlon. Th story pos
slbly originated in the same 'sources aa
the earlier teport of hla deposition and of
his suicide at Port Arthur. - .
