RETIRED ON LIAO YANG.
Russians Withdraw From Fort
ified Position at Anshanshan.
Christening of Russian Heir Deaths
From Tornado at Picnic Collision
on Rochester and Eastern Munroe
Quickly Knocked Out Mr. Hill to
Retire From Politics.
The Russian forces under Gen. Kur
npatkln have been disappointed by an
other unexpected withdrawal. The
whole eastern division and the troops
in the Anshanshan position havo been
ordered to fall back to positions near
er Llao Yang Just as the soldiers were
expecting another advance.
Th emperor has received the follow
ing telegram fiom Lieutenant General
Sakharoff, dated Aug. 27:
"Yesterdny the Russians retired
slowly on Anshanshan. The Japanese
bombarded the Russian fortified posi
tions and the Russians replied .vlth
such effect that the Japanese were
compelled to move their blvouack from
Taniaema to Bacclzal.
"The hottest fighting occurred on
tho Russian left flank, whero the Rus
sian losse3 were 200. The Japanese
had Ave divisions.
"In the southeast tho Russians re
pulsed all the Japanese attacks, while
our troops on the right flank assumed
the offensive and drove the Japanese
towards Toudnanu and Tasinupu.
Our losses amounted to 400.
"Yesterday evening there was a vig
orous engagement on the esBt front,
the Japaneso advancing on Anplnlan
(Anplng?). They were repulsed, how.
ever, though (he Russians had no ar
tillery, the battlo being carried on at
the point of the bayonet.
"Tho Rmslnns finally retreated on
their principal positions, supported
by artillery.
"The TamlHifT regiment defended
one position from 1 o'clock In the
morning until 4 o'clock In the after
tioon, when Its colonel wbr wounded.
The regiment was then driven out of
Its position by tho fire of the Jnpaneso
guns from the heights.
"Six guns were abandoned. Our
losses amounted to 1,500.
"On Aug. 27 tho Japanese did not
take tho offensive to any great extent.
The Russians retired on their new
positions, while the Japanese advanced
to Taempln b way of Yiidlukau."
Port Arthur Hard Pressed.
Information which to a very great
f xtent confirms previous reports of the
conditions ut Port Arthur was re
ceived at Chefoo by Junks which left
there on Aug. 21 and Aug. 23.
Tho most important statement con
firms the reports that the Russians
have been driven from the fort imme
diately east of the railroad. This fort
la located on the Tail of the Dragon
hills, along the summits of which the
eastern defences of Port Arthur nre
built.
When the Russian forces retired
from Fort Itzthan, they entered Fort
No. 15 to the north of Chaochanko.
During the nights of Aug. 18 and 10,
while It was raining, the Japaneso at
tempted to storm' Fort Antszshan,
which is a strong position adjoining
Itzshan toward the north, but they
were repulsed with heavy losses.
During the night of Aug. 22 a heroic
hand of 500 Japanese attempted to
capture Fort No. 5 in the midst of a
storm. Almost the entire detachment
was killed. The Chinese declare, how
ever, that the Russians have evacuat
ed Fort No. 5, hut whether by reason
of this assault or the Japanese artil
lery fire cannot ho learned. The Jap
anese nre unable to occupy Fort No. 5.
The fighting from Aug. 17 to Aug. 22
was severe, but since tho latter date
It has been comparatively light.
On Aug. 2G the fort on Llaotl moun
tain was fired on from six Japanese
torpedo boats, but the result of this
ECtion has not been known. The Rus
sian marines are working at the land
batteries. Shells from the Japanese
fire continue to fall In Port Arthur
and tho dockyards and the warships
havo scattered about the harbor In
attempts to protect themselves from
tho enemy's projectiles.
A Chinese who was employed on the
docks at Port Arthur says that, the
Battleships Retvizan, Poltava and Se
vastopol are badly damaged. The bat
tleship Pohleda Is In fighting condi
tion. There nre also four gunboats
and several torpedo boat destroyers In
the harbor. The recent report that
eight destroyers escaped from Port
Arthur cannot be confirmed.
The Japanese are constructing forts
at Louisa hay, northwest of Port
Arthur.
Deaths Ftom Tornado at Picnic.
A toinir.ld swept through Chautau
qua county lito Thursday ul'lcruouu,
leaving deatL and great destruction lu
its path.
Parkhurst's Grove, where tho Slock
ton lown picnic was being held, was
directly In lie piilh of ihe storm.
Five thousand people were on the
grounds when tho storm broke. Four
persons were killed and several
injured.
Tho storm came up suddenly. Trees
in tho grovo were struck by lightning
many of them blown down and the
rain fell in torrents. Tho people who
took refugo under the trees at first
signs of tho storm were caught by the
fulling branches and either killed or
injured.
Many horses were killed in tho same
manner. Some of the animals stam
peded, trampling upon the injured
peoplo who were lying upon the
groimd.
At the assembly grounds at Chau
tauqua many trees were uprooted and
a portion of tho fence around the
grounds was demolished. The Men's
club houso was badly damaged.
Heir to Russian Throne Christened.
The royal Russian baby was christ
ened Wednesday atPeterhof. The:pon.
sors represent an emperor and an em
press, two kings, one princess and
four granil duchesses. The baby was
ro shrouded in filmy lace, dainty flan
tiels and a purple Bilk overinantle that
It was almcst impossible to distin
guish the form that lay so still and
jtilet as the metropolitan of St. Peters
burg anointed Its hands, breast and
forehead with the mystical holy oil,
compounded for the purposo in solemn
secrecy at the Kremlin.
The to denm, melodiously chanted
by a hidden choir, was the signal to
the hells overhead, which Swung clam
orously, while tho royal yacht, off the
shore of tho gulf, thundered a salute
of 301 guns. The signal was taken
t,p at Cronstadt and St. Petersburg,
and Moscow's 500 bells chimed while
tho guns of the Kremlin rolled.
Collision on Rochester and Eastern.
Fully 35 persons were Injured Wed
nesday in a trolley wreck on the Ro
chester and Eastern railway near
Tittsford, (hough no one was fatally
hurt.
A train of two cars bound from Can.
andalgua to Rochester collided with a
single car running easthound. The
former was late and according to the
statement of the officers of tho com
pany ran past the siding where it was
to havo met the car from Rochester.
The trains met on a sharp curve.
A lineman In the employ of the road
was at work near the scene of the ac
cident, and saw two trains approach
ing. He flagged tho easthound train
and It had nearly stopped when struck
by the other train, which was running
at a good speed. All three of tho cars
were full of passengers.
Oldfield's Auto Kills Two Men.
Blinded by the dust thrown by the
machine of A. C. Webb of Toledo,
Barney Oldfleld of Cleveland lost con
trol of his machine In a false start of
the fifth event of the world's fair au
tomobile speed contest Sunday and
crashing through the outer fence of
the course instantly killed John Scott,
a watchman employed at the park, and
Inflicted Injuries upon Nathan Mont
gomery, a negro, from which he died
a few hours later.
Oldfleld was painfully injured and
his machine completely demolished.
Tho race, cfttr a short delay, was run,
being won by Webb by a largo margin.
It was the most important event of
the day, the prize being tho Louisiana
Purchase Exposition trophy valued at
$500.
Better Feeling In Trade Circles.
Rather better Western crop reports
and the advance of the fall season
have brought an increased number of
buyers tn nearly all Western arid East
ern markets. This has resulted In an
enlargement of fall distribution,
which, however, has proceeded along
conservative lines, with staple prod
ucts notably in most, demand.
A rather better tone Is noted in tex
tile manufacturing circles, the effect
of numerous resumptions of cotton
mills and a disposition to take hold
shown by buyers of textiles at first
and second hands. Pyrotechnics In
the cotton market and uncertainty as
to the future price of that staple,
however, hold down buying.
Munroe Knocked Out In Two Rounds.
Like the veriest amateur In the prize
ring, Jack Munroe of Butte, Mont.,
went down and out before Champion
James Jeffries Friday night in the ec
ond round at San Francisco.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed of. The miner
was scared and awkward and Jeffries
In the first round had him twice on
the canvas taking the count.
Estimates of the number in attend
ance range from 7.000 to 0,000 and it is
believed that tho gate receipts will

CLOSE CONGRESS FIGHT
Chairman Babcock Interviewed
on the Situation.
Democrats Have Fused With Populists
on Congressional JVid Legislative
Tickets Campaign Literature Sent
Out Dozen Leading Republicans of
the House on the Stump.
Washington. Aug. 30. Chairman
foseph W. Babcock of tho Republican
congressional committee expressed
the opinion that the present is tho
closest campaign he has experienced
tdncr; 1808.
"What are the conditions which
make tho congressional campaign
closer this year than it has been since
1808?" Mr. Babcock was asked.
"They differ in localities," he res
ponded. "In Borne the conditions re
sult from the character of the nation
al campaign. In others tho conditions
are almost entirely local. Then, In
some instances, the difficulty is over
the kind of men nominated for con
gress. In Nebraska, whero there are
six members of the house to fight for,
the Democrats have abandoned the
national campaign. They fused with
the Populists on the legislative and
congressional tickets but not on prosl.
dentlal electors."
Nearly all the congressional dis
tricts in the state are close. We
redeemed four of those districts
two years ago, but they have
been going one way or the other by
ery narrow margins not by 200 or
300 or 400, but in some Instances by
12, 15 or 20 votes. Now the congres
sional committee has to go In there
without the usual support from the
national committee.
"There is not much Interest in cam
paign literature," continued Mr. Bab
cock. "We art sending out speeches
cn the tariff and some matter relating
to the Panama canal; also a few Dem
ocratic speeches, like thai of Bourke
Cocltran, on the tariff. But we have
not had a real campaign of education
fince 189C. I have never sent out as
many documents in any one year as
then.
"We expect to have a good deal of
speaking. There are about a dozen
of the leading members of the house
cn whom we are relying; chief among
them, of course. Is Speaker Cannon,
who is a splendid vote-getter on the
stump. He is going to start out ;oon
by special train, and will be accom
panied on a part of his trip by Repre
sentative Watson of Indiana and on
the rest of his trip by Representative
J. Adam Bedo of Minnesota."
NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
Mr. Woodruff the Most Active Candi
date Mentioned.
New York, Aug. 30. On the evo of
the city primaries there is much un
certainty about the Republican nomin
ation for governor of New York. S me
men . are beginning to suspect '.hat
Governor Odell has been In earnest In
his oft-repeated declarations that he
did not know who would bo named.
Three men now are mentioned, Tim
othy Woodruff, Lieutenant Governor
Iligglns and Nicholas Murray BuMor
of Columbia university. Mr. Woodruff
in the most active candldnte and he
believes ho will win. Governor Odell
does not share that confidence, which
probably means that Odell Is not for
the Brooklyn man.
Although Governor Odell has de
clared from the beginning that ho had
no candidate and asserted that It
would bo an open convention it Is not
believed that, he has ever thought It
would be "open" for Woodruff.
Governor Odell and Mr. Woodruff
were both at national headquarters
6nd It was surmised that the governor
ship was under consideration, although
It was staled that Governor Odell dis
cussed with Chairman Cortelyou the
general condition in New York.
CANADIAN DUTY ON RAILS.

Canadian government placing a duty
of $7 per ton on steel rnils in con
formity with the power vested In them
by parliament to do so so soon as It

manufacturers were in a position to

Thomas Sliaughnessy, president of
the Canadian Pacific railway, said:
"While it is quite proper that Ihe
Cannilian manufacturer should be suf

opinion, one of these In Canada who

"ORT8 CHANGE HANDS OFTEN.
Japanese Unable to Retain Positions
From Which Russian Have
Been Driven.
Chefoo, Aug. 30. Severe fighting
was resumed at Port Arthur on Aug.
27. Between Aug. 22 and 20 there
was some fighting but it was less se
vere than that on the 27th.
A Chinese refugee was compelled to
carry the dead from tho battlefield
Of Pallchnang, which the Japanese at
tempted to capture on Aug. 20. Thirty
carts were used to carry the d'lad,
numbering 400. Efficient soldiers at
Port Arthur are said to number over
10,000.
A Chinaman from Rlhlungshan says
he saw the Russians occupying this
fort, from which previous reports
stated that they had been driven. Prob
ably both reports were correct as
many positions about the fortress
change hands repeatedly.
Tho fighting which began on the
27th soon became general. While the
Chinese were at sea Aug. 28 the
heavy firing was resumed. Two Junks
containing contraband of war were
sunk by a Japanese torpedo boat.
Fort No. 5 has changed hands four
times and is now unoccupied. The
Japanese filled the moat with rand
bags Thousands of Chinese coolies
are digging trenches, building earth
works and dragging cannon about.
Information received here confirms
the belief that the great Japanese as
Fault upon Port Arthur, which began
Aug. 22, was by no means as success
ful ns anticipated. Although the Jap
anese succeeded In pushing their lines
forward they were unable to occupy
positions from which they drovo the
ilUFslans. They succeeded only In
weakening the Russian lines.
Tho report that the Japanese forces
before Port Arthur have received
heavy reinforcements via Dalny has
hepn confirmed.

Reverses Plehve's Policy.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 30. The im
perial decree convening tho Finnish
diet not only convokes it this year
but makes provision for its meeting
three years hence, thus foreshadowing
regular meetings of tho diet at inter
vals of not less than fivo vears, In ac
cordance with the letter of the Fin
nish constitution, for the first time
since the grand duchy came under
Russian sovereignty. That such a
step has been taken possibly Indicates
the suspension of the policy of the
Rnssification cf Finland, to which the
late Minister of the Interior Plehve
was committed.
