.A, new phase of the battle of Llto Tang

b,een transferred to the north bank of the

-Kouropatkin's action in throwing the' bulk
,of hi army across the river to the right
.bank In order to protect his rear and give
him sn opportunity to try conclusions single-handed
with Kuroki, is considered to be
a brilliant strategical stroke. The Russian
-.force left on the Llao Tang side of Oie
, Taltae is regarded as strong enough behind
. its- fortified positions to bold Generals Oka
and Nodxu long enough to give Kourppat
kln chance to strike Kuroki and at the

lety exists as to the result of the whole
battle, which is now In the balance. If
Kooropatkin Is defeated his retreat farther
northward would seem to be Imperative,
while, on the ether hand, the Russian vic
tory might turn the tide of war.
Advices from Port Arthur, dated August
31, snnounce that Rear Admiral Ouktom-
sky's squadron went out August It and
shelled the Japanese positions. The squad
ron consisted of the battleships Retvlsan
and Peresvtet, the armored cruiser Bayan
and the protected crniser Pallada. This Is
the first intimation that the repairs of the
Bayan bad .been completed. Tha vessels
put to sea at t o'clock in tha morning un
der cover of the batterlsa. and returned
safety, after accomplishing their mission.
The message adda that tire Japanese are
bombarding the fortress dally and nightly,
but are not causing serious damage, tha
Inhabitants seeking refuge In the bomb
proofs. This message, which was sent
from Che Foo, declares' the Japanese coo-'
tlnuer to provision their armies from ' Wei

outside those ports.

Text of Kowro9atk1os Dlrpatek. ;
Later In the day the general 'staff recon
sidered Its determination not to make pub
lic General Kottropatkln'a dispatch to the
emperor , of yesterday and ths text -was
given out as follows:
. At nightfall Thursday that Japanese at
tacked our Sykwantun position, but were
repulaed after a hot light. They renewed
the attack at night, thla time with suo
ces, driving back a regiment in the direc
tion of Sakutun. The retreat of thla regi
ment led to the evacuation of the poattiona
held by other troops. Toward morning the
troops advanced gradually in order to re
take the Sykwantun position.
At dawn on Friday I awtrmed the of
fensive against the troops of General Ku
rokl's army. At midday the heads of the
attacking corps were in line and prepara
tions were being made to retake by artil
lery the position captured during the night
by the Japanese, and the Infantry la also
advancing to attack. - -
Uuring the night the Japanese violently
bombarded the Interior of the Russian po
sition inside the town of Llao Tang, the
railroad station and the railroad itself. Our
lossea were insignificant. -
I have Juat received a dispatch from the
chief of the Llao Tang garrison, tlmel
10:36 a, m.. to the effect that the Japanese
attacked the fort - aitnated In the center
of our position, but they were repulaed
with grtat loss. We had six men killed In
the fcrt. - J -
The fighting at Sykwantun, referred to Id
General Kouropatkin's telegram, - cor
responds with the Toklo report of the' cap-,
ture' by' the 'Japanese of a portion of the
heights at Selylngtai, which Is situated a
Mile eastward of Sykwantun, ' The 'latter
place la ttf o miles southeast of Blakhontln,
whither the Russian advance regiment was
forced back by Kuroki during the night of
Thursday last. !-.:
The report from Toklo of Oyama throw
ing the, bulk of his army across the Taltse
river is considered at the war office to In
dicate that the Japanese army was rush
ing op with reinforcements to support Ku
roki, the necessity for whose relief maybe
airgent.
The Toklo estimate of the Japanese
losses up to yesterday as being X.00O is
regarded here as moderate. : i
The war office Is not In possession of'
sufficient', data to estimate the Russian
losses, but It Is thought that they may
reach H.000. .
The battle la now regarded . aa having
reached lis mpst critical stage. '.
K0CR0PATKI9 I FILL RETREAT
Mo Tana; Is Abandoned a ad. Btakel
bera's Crs Cwt Oil.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 4.-12:15 a. m.
All Russia, will learn by the morning
newspapers, that General Kouropatkin's
army Is In full retreat to the northward,
that Llao Tang has been abandoned and
that General ' Btakelberg'a corps is sur
rounded and cut off,
. The hopes of vtetory raised In Russian
tireasts -by the telegram - from the commander-in-chief,
published this afternoon,
saying t' It the . Russians had-Advanced
against General Kuroki on Friday and
that an attack on the Ruaalan right had
been repulsed, proved short Uvea. General
Kouropatkin had scarcely - begun the of
fensive against General KuroU's army
whsn he was competed by the overwhelm
ing force of the Japanese flanking move
ment to give up all Idea of continuing his
advance and hurried Ir withdrew la the di
rection of Mukden. .
The- retreat is the logical consequence of
the .Russian plan of leading on and tiring
c'ut the . Japanese at the successive sta
tions pt the road, northward, thus placing
their foe at ths constantly growing disad
vantage of lengthened lines of communioa
tiotu The success of this plan was marred
by a blundar of General BtAke'berg, who,
In the words of General Kouropatkin, ln
slst4 on placing his own . Interpretation
on orders' Instead of - fulfilling them. Gen
era Stakelberg erred in failing to cross
the Taltse river when General Kouropatkin
desired that tha whole army ahould , re
treat to - Ita northern bank, as was ex
clusively reported In Associated Press dis
featphes on September 1 This blunder, tt
Is feared, will Involve the lose ef the whole
ef 4ha First Siberian . army corps, conaist.
tng of the First, Second and Sixth rifle
divisions. Ueauri Coiaack brigade, ths
First Siberian artlllerybiigads and S Sap
per battalion. s .
' f hs abandonment of the whole position
at Llao Yang involves the lose of a great
accumulation of stores, though It is be
lieved that many of theae already bad been
aent north before the cenunenoament of
the lighting. It la more than poaaib.'Sv
however, that the Ruaalans deatroyed what
they could, not remove. : ;
Something akin to conaternatlon prevails
amon the .Russians, who have learned
of the disaster to General SUkalberg'a
Corp. AH realise that there la small hope
now for the relief of Port Arthur, but the
military officials are uniform In the belief
that it would Only be folly for General
Kouropatkin to remain and run the risk
of being surrounded with his whole army,
and Uiat the commander-in-chief, by his
withdrawal north, has actually converted
what nil?ht have been disaster to himself
Into what Is regarded aa a reverse for tho
Japanese for.the failure of the Japanese to
hold Ueiiera! Kburopalrin's array and In
flict a driitilve blow. It Is claimed, cannot be
re-ardd otherwise than a reverse, . Field
VUirnhai Oyaoia's anacloua frontal attack
aud Uis clever taitk tueveoicut ouulii not
nave' had any other object than to compel
the Russians to accept a decisive engage
ment, i
General Kenrvpstkln's retreat will un
doubtedly have a discouraging effect on the
rarrlaon of Port Arthur, which can no
longer hope for relief from thla quarter. It
Is doubtful, however. If the Japanese are In
a position to press the siege, and It Is more
than probable that they hare diverted a
portion of the besieging army to reinforce
fhetr corps operating in Manchurln. This
would account far the temporary lull In the
fighting there. It is noticeable that the
siege reports reaching here do not mention
further assaults on the fortress, but only
speak of bombardments.

Taralif Poiat ef War.
PARIS, Sept. 1 The battle of Llao Tang
attracts Intense Interest and anxiety among
the French officials and public generally as
likely to prove the turning point of the
war. The Foreign office construes the latest
advices received here thla . afternoon as
showing that General Kouropatkin has Suf
fered a serious check, though not yet
amounting to a defeat or a rout. The
officials continue to say that he ts execnt
Ing a plan of alow withdrawal towards
Mukden, giving dogged reslstancs as he
fails back. Military experts point out that
the magnitude of .tha battle la greater than
any fought In the Franco-German war,
the slegs nf Metxln brvorving 850.000 men
on both sides whereas there were over
400,000 at Llao Tang. The Figaro Bays It
Is the greatest fight 'sines the battle of
Lei pale.
The newspapers here reprint the Berlin
Tageblatt'a statement that King Edward's
visit to the emporor of Austria brought out
a mediation movement to which the United
States and France are parties. When ques
tioned on the subject today, fhe Foreign
office here replied:
"Owing to the frequency of such re
ports -you are authorised to state that
France has had absolutely no communi
cation with Ruiala up tothe present time
relative to mediation."
-.The authorities here are hoping for an
early 'drtermlnatlon of the status of the
Russian cruiser Diana, now st Saigon, but
reports today show that it is' stCl there,
with Its crew on board, that It has not
entered the repair dock and that Its com
mander is st in awaiting orders.
Madam Nednoff, wife of the Russian am
bassador to France, Is at Toulon, super

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 112:30 p. m.
A bulletin Just Issued announces that Gen
eral Kouropatkin has assumed the offen
sive, massing his artillery , and bombarding
the Japanese before noon preparatory to an
attack upon General Kuroki's flanking
army on the north side of the Taltse river.
General Kouropatkin, telegraphing under
today's date, describes the change of front
resulting from ' General Kuroki's flanking
movement, says the Russians advanced
against Kuroki yesterday, and adds that
the Japanese the rame day attacked the
Russian right, but were repulsed.
KENNEDY WINS- OUT

and at t:30 Blackburn 'admitted the' "situ
ation was discouraging." The professional
politicians, grouped around him began to
melt away up Farnam atreet to the office
of John L. Kennedy In the Bee building,
where they found the winning candidate
and proffered glad hands and smiles. Mr.
Gurley all evening was no where to be
found or seen, quite unlike the activity and
Interest displayed by Mr. Kennedy. With
the coming of the result In the First ward
and the fateful advices from the Ninth, the
temperature gave a last flop and sank to
sero at the Fontanelle club, and. In a few
minutes only Blackburn, W. A. Kesslck,
A. H. Burnett, R. B. Howell, Charles L;
Saunders and one or two others of the
faithful ,were left. B. O. Burbank, with
the solid 'Sixth In his pocket, dropped In
and said it bad gone just about as ha ex
pected. -
' Cease Oat for Keaaeily,
'From now on. the Fontanelle club. will
work for the success of John L. Kennedy,"
said Mr. Burnett. The chorus whispered
VTee," and Blackburn went to the tele
phone at U o'clock and congratulated Mr.
Kennedy on his success.
'I concede your nomination on the .first
ballot,": said he sadly. "And we wish to
say we are for you from now on."
After which shop was closed and with
many a weary sigh and yawn the few
men who remained drifted away to sooth
ing pll'-ows.
John P, Breen does not conceal his dis
appointment at bis failure to carry the
Seventh ward and charges treachery on
the part of the Gurley managers in en
croaching "upon his preserves after they
hnd promised to stay out Mr. Breen at
tributed his defeat to his unpreparedness
for' the underhand battle. i '
'We simply did not know where to look
to get votes," said Charles L. Saunders.
The old lineup was torn all to pieces.
Many whom we have always counted upon
In fights before were doubtful this time or
openly declared for Kennedy. Therefore.
we did not know who to send the car
riages after."
Surrender of IUeekbnra.
In. parting, Mr. Blackburn, who next
week will terminate his eight-year reign
as . csar of the congressional committee,
wrote this statement!
"I' do' not blame the maohine for choos
ing Mr. Kennedy In preference to Mr.
Ourley, but I do think a number of men
who claim to be Opposed to that organisa
tion will blush when they look Into their
mirrors this morning. However, the Fon
tanelle organisation Is for John L. Ken
nedy If he Is the choice of the convention,
and I will do all I can for him."
Ths congrebslonal convention Is to meet
at Washington hail at S o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and the Judicial convention just
before. Tne plan of the former waa to
throw it Into a free-will delegate meeting
after , fruitless first ballot, but a second
ballot will not be necessary this time.

Interest in the outcome of the primary
election was general and intense. The

that these men will return to work Mon

Conditions Remain Dnll and Men Are

About the only Interest manifest In the
strike Saturday was the preparations for
tne Labor day program. About labor head
quarters little was doing and really nothing
said. The leaders and men appeared to
be disappointed at the action of tha rail
road men In refusing to go out on a sym
pathetic strike. ' More disappointment waa
manifest when, quite a number of striker
called at the relief store Saturday morn
ing and found the doors locked and no sup-'
plies being given out f
A bis rally is expected Monday and the
men now on strike may be greatly encour
aged by the addresses aV Syndicate p"ark
and the , display of force made on the
streets In the parade.
It Is a fact, however, that a Urge num
ber of the men ars becoming discouraged
and quite a number had declared that un
less there -is an early settlement they will
be compelled to return to work In order to
provide food, clothing 4 neceasarie for
their, families. - ... ,
Everything went along as usual at the
packing houses yesterday. Some of the
packers acquired a number of men from
other points, but very few old men applied
for positions. FThe slat htering at the
plants was heavier than usual tor a Sat
urday, but this extra work was called for
on account of Monday being a holiday. As
matters stood last night the men In the
plants will work a portion of Sunday In
order to finish up. Sheriff Power will not
reduce the number of deputies until about
the middle of the week and the special po

Mrs. Decker, president of the General
Federation, has sent the following greet
ing to the women of Nebraska through the
Club Record:
Mv fenr Friends and Nelehhors: When
I received the request from your editor to
send a few words of greetlpg I felt that
any mesaage from me to you was In the
nature of news from a member of your own
ismuy.
Nebraska and Colorado are so near each
other, they have so many problems In com
mon, we fees certain like situations, we
have the same number of strangers, "health
and fortune seekers within our gates," the
same remote dreary little towns; we have
the Same difficulty In convincing the pert
of the country that we are not wholly
"wild ana woony ana tne necessity tor
federation Is eauallv creat in our two
states. As someone has said: "Federation
simply means getting together." I csnnot
Imagine any communities where "getting
together" 1 more needed' than, in the far
weat, with its shifting population- and its
limitless distances. Federation has been
such a blessing In our state to the stranger,
to' the lonely newcomer, to the Invalid, to.
-the sorrowful, as well as In giving new In
terest the problems of the commonwealth,
to thou who have the trained mind, and
the- leisure and wllllngneaa to serve.
Oar -State Federation-was formed In 1896.
Previous. to that time though I had lived
In the state eight years. I did not have
the acquaintance or know the name of a
woman outside Denver, the city of my
home. Then came the Federation, and in
eight years more I can say that I can put
my nana on a gooa ciud woman in annuel
every remote ranch town or mining camp
In the state. We have learned to know
each other and to work together. Think
of what that union and friendship of good
women mean. Because, as i saio. in di,
Louis, the club women are the home wo
men, the hopeful women. The more you
have of tnat Kind of citizens - me sreaier
will h th advance of the state and com
munity, spiritually, physically and Intel
lectually. iA
i Bo I ask -you to Increase and multiply
your clubs and federations. Nebraska is
Suoted In the otnsus of 1900 as having
10,000 iwomen residents. Tour federation
numbers 6,000. Surely there 'are V!001
"cfubable" women In Nebraska. I tMnk
you, will do honor -to your nearby cousin
and neighbor by coming to the next bi
ennial with at leaat double your present
number of federated women.
With high hopes, for your auceess, and
my sincere Interest. VeryMncerely youra.

The action of the St. tool biennial Ip

give to that already desirable office an
additional desirable feature. Of all the

ths national work is concerned. A the
official medium of communication between
the ttate.and the general, she comes In

Edward Bok, In "A Few Words to the

nounce that all of the protest that ha re
sulted from hi previous article question
ing the effectiveness of the union's depart
ment of non-atcoholic mediation; ha not
removed the original question from- his
mind. "I cannot regard any work ef
fective." lie say, "even In so large an or
ganisation, numerically (peaking, as yours
when I can select st random and within a
llmltedclrcle, fifty of your members snd
find that only twenty of these members
even know of the existence of such a de
partment in your and their organisation,
and that the surprisingly large percentage
of thirty-seven of these -fifty are regular
buyers and partakers of pstent medicines,
many of which contain II per cent and
some a high as SO pef cent of alcohol of
which fact they were in entir ignorance."
Mr. Bok finally adds:
Let me, therefore, summarise my Ideas
aa to your present and most effective pro
gram of work: .
First Bee to It that your members them
selves cease the purchase and use of these
Injurious . proprietary medicines except
where specifically prescribed by a pliyal
olan? as It is, numbers of them use them
of their own accord. Employ Individual
sffort, not printed material I plaoe your
members under obligation.
Second Have removed, wherever and
howsoever possible, but always legally, not
forcibly, the advertisements of these pro
prietary medicines from the properties of
your members whethr by constitutional
amendment. Individual obligation or flnaii
cll compeneatlon from your own funds.
Third Enjoin each member. Individually,
to cease he aubecrlptlon to her particular
rellriou paper which, after remonstranoe.
persists In publishing the advertisements of
these Injurious proprletsry medicines.

JUDGE PARKER READS PROOFS.

ESOPTJS,VN. Y., Sept. . Josiah Qulncy,
former mayor of Boston and manager of
the literary bureau'Of the democratic na
tional committee In the 1892 campaign.
came to Roaemount ' today, bringing with
htm proofaheet of the democrat! cam
paign -handbook.' : Mr. Qulncy and Judge
Parker went through a great mass of the
proofs, but the judge would make no state
ment regarding the conference nor the work
on the handbook. ' ,
' Upon leaving Roaemount Mr. Qulncy
said that the clmpllatlon of the handbook
Is practically completed, but the printing
had been delayed. The book will consist
of about E00 page and the 'first edition
will be of 10,000 copies. The committee In
charge of the work constat of Mr. Qulncy,
eQorge S. Parker and Representative Cow
herd, chairman of the democratic congres
sional committee. .
The committee has been entrusted with
all other documentary work needed by theL0UtsljB 0 th city for th
national committee.
In relation to Judge Parker' connection
with the handbook, Mr. Qulncy said he did
not Want the idea to get abroad that the
candidate Is exercising a censorship, al
though It Is likely that' a number of revis
ions 'Will be msde as 'the result of his ex
amtnatlon of the proofs. "' ' '
Massachusetts politic was discussed by
Mr. Qulncy to some extent, and he ex
pressed the belief that a democratic gov-
ernor will be elected In the Bay state. Ha
aald the republican have been weakened
by partisan convention, the reciprocity
Issue. The Ninth, Tentlr and Eleventh
congressional districts, comprising the city
of Boston, are now controlled by the dem

would hold them, but that he was not so
ure of holding the Fifth district. He
promised that the party would carry on

"There Is no secret about the plan and
Intention of the. board of director pUdus
S 160,000 mortgage on' the Auditorium,"
aid President Fred A. Nash last night.
"That has been our purpose for some time,
for we have known It would be necessary
In order to complete ths building and we
have made no effort to conceal ihe plan.
;'I want to say there is positively no
truth In tha statement published by a louil
paper that the original or any other ar
ticles of Incorporation prohibit a loan or
mortgage of more than 120,00). Thit s;to
ment simply waa manufactured for the oc
casion without any .warrant In fact." ,
President Nash then Summed' lip the
situation in thl manner: ( . ';
"It became evident to ths directors soma
time ago that we should have to ricgntUt
a loan or mortgage, and a rM.Jnu .rM
more wlU be required to f.nUh the. struc
ture, we decided at our meeting yestcMny
to determine $60,000. I wa authorised by
th board to negotiate for a loan of tht
amount and I expect to have the ileal
made and ready to submit to 'the bitanl
at' It meeting next Wednesday. I alret ly
have opened negotiations with the first
National Trust' company of Chicago, for
the money. We could not secure ibe loan
tn Omaha. When we started In-the work
of fitting up the Auditorium, equipping It
with gallery seats, etc.. It was understood
with , some of the ' local banks that w
should have to float our bonds for a locn,
but these banks now do not want to ac
cept the bonds, and so we have had m 1M
. Koto of Interest la Fair. -"As
to the rate of interest, (tt, on-Whibh
It Is proposed to secure this loan, anybody
familiar, with business at all knows that
I not axorbltant, a thl local paper, which
ha sought to - make sensation of this
thing, pretend.' There I no need for any
disturbance or alarm over thl deal. It is
Imply a legitimate business transaction,
baaed Upon good business principles, and
tti only' mean by which w can ofm-
plet the Auditorium.- Ant Is there anyone
tn th City who will say the Auditorium
should not be completed? We have don
