REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET FOR CONGRESS, DR E. W. SAMUELS, of Mt. Carme PENROSE iVIUESSPDIii State Chairman Confer# With Cor telyou and Openg Campaign. OIBCUBB E9 THE SITUATION Pennsylvania Republicans Urged to Roll Up a Record-Breaking Majority and to Rally to Congressional Can didates. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, August 30. Senator Penrose having returned home from his vacation trip in the far west, matters have taken on a very active aspect in the campaign in this atate. As chairman of the Republican state committee, the senior senator h&a serious responsibilities on his shoulders and will have his hands full until after election day. In carrying out his purpose to make this a record-breaking year as far as the size of the Republican majority Is conoerned, Chairman Penrose will leavo nothing undone to rouse the party workers to their best efforts in every county in tho commonwealth. Ho was delighted with the amount of work already accomplished by Secretary An drews. who remained in charge of tho tieadQuarters during tho chairman's absence, and was pleased to learn how enthusiastic and earnest tho commit teemen throughout the state have been In taking hold of the work of the can vass. Benator Penrose, who reachod homo on Sunday, after looking ftfter a num ber of matters requiring his Immediate attention, left at once for New York to keep an appointment with Chair man Cortelyou. of the Republican na tional committee. During Senator I'enroae s aoseflce Chairman Cortolyou wrote to him re guestlng a conference In relation to a number of matters bearing upon the national campaign which he desired to •ak* up with him. Chairman Cortel you has been very complimentary in his references to Senator Penrose and In expressing the high regard In which be holds his opinion on political mat ters and of his appreciation of his strength as a party leader. Just after the nomination of Roose velt and before he had left the con vention city, Cortelvou called on Sen ator Penrose and informed him that ha desired his active services in tho national campaign. He recognized the fact thut the Pennsylvania senator had a valuable training in the schoolof prac tical politics in his connection with the management of the party organi zation in this state. It is quite likely that Senator Pen rose will be called to New York fre quently during the national campaign, but he will not neglect the canvass in his home state. He has received a number of invitations to address meet ings in New York, Indiana, Delaware. New Jersey and other states, and as far as possible will comply with these requests, all of which come from as sociates in the United States senate, members of the President's cabinet or from Chairman Cortolyou himself. "We are anxious to carry every 4oubtful congressional district in Pennsylvania," said Chairman Pen rose, In discussing his plans lor tho campaign in this state "\Ve now have 29 of the 82 congressmen from Penn sylvania. I would like to make our next delegation solidly Republican, but the best we can hope for, I guess, will be 30 of the 32. Pennsylvania is vi tally Interested in the present cam paign, not merely in retaining a Re publican president in the White House, but in seelne to it that both branches of congress shall continue with Repub lican majorities. The vast manuiaetur ing and other Industrial interests of this state have thriven under the Penn sylvania idea of a Republican protec tive tariff "There are many hundreds of thou sands of our citizens now finding profit able employment and then are mil lions of capital invi 'ed which would be placed in Jeopardy should the Dem ocrats get control of congress and be la a position to carry out their free trad» policies, it is all very well !o say that the United Stat< s senate i.; reliably Republican, and that t! s< • house of representatives of its If can not pass a tariff act but it should l> • remembered that political changes come quickly In this country, and that we should always be on the alert for any contingency that might arise. "In Pennsylvania this fall we shall be called upon to ele< t members of the legislature who will In January next elect a member of the I'nited States senate to serve for tho full term of six years The man thus chosen will be elected for a term which will carry him over the next presidential elec tion. He will have two years to Rervo under the administration of the presi dent who will be elected four years hence, and his vote may in the decid- Ing factor in much important 1< gisl ■ tloe directly affecting the interests of Pennsylvania. This fact must not forgotten in the balloting for members of the state senate and the Rtnte house of representatives when our citizens go to the polls In November next "It should also be remembered that changes in but a few districts will give the Democrats a majority in the next house of representatives at Washing ton Pennsylvania should therefore hold her own and If possible gain a member or two In the next house. "Under no circumstances should any Republican be persuaded to vote for any other than thw regular Republican nominee for congress Let Pennsyl vania continue to have the largest Re publican representation in the national house of representatives, and she will be In a position to protect her interests and to servo her constituents in all emergencies." HAH INK IN HEAT IS LATEST NEWS CHICAGO, Aug 31. —A famine in meat is declared by the strikers in the latest move by the strikers against the packers. Orders have been issued for a general strike except by the char workmeu throughout the country. They arc expected togo out tomorrow. The order will affect in all about 2,000 men in Chicago, including the independent plants. The order, if ob served, will also affect independent plants in large capacity in East St. Louis, Omaha,St. Louis, Kansas City, Sioux City, New York, Milwaukee, Syracuse, Stickney, 111., and hundreds of small plants throughout the coun try, which employed from ten to twen ty men. Altogether union cffiials assert that 15,000 men will go out and the meat supply will be seriously crippled,leav ing as the only supply the output of the big packers by their non-union help. Today the pickets surrounding the stock yards were largely increased,the yards being watched for several blocks away. Strike breakers were warned not to leave the yards. Bitter feeling exists against them. The 600 stock handlers iu the stock yards quit work this forenoon. They were greeted by cheers by the union pickets. The manager of the Union stock yards and transit company said that in an ticipation of a strike of the stock handlers men had been in training to take the places of deserting weighers and that fifty of such men are availa ble at once. He said that furthei no trouble was expected in handling stock. The packers say it is Donnelly's aim to create a meat famine, which he thinks would arouse the public to such a pitch of indignation that a settle ment would bo forced. "Donnelly is undertaking the im possible," said a representative of one of the packers. "There is little chance of a meat famine. The independent packers who by their collusiou with tho unions, have profited much during the strike, will sutler most." President Donnelly is said to be de pending upon the union drivers for the success of his attempt to make meat scarce. What action the 3,5()0 grocery and meat market wagons driv ers will lake, remaius to be seen. Heretofore they have refused to handle meat from the strike affected packers, and their employers were forced to buy from the independents. It is also said that an attempt will bo made to shut off the ice supply from every re tail market, iu Chicago, since all meat products are to be on the unions' "un fair" list- Great Bale of Uoal ILand. The Steubenville (Ohio) Herald of August 25111 contains an account of a great sale of coal land in Jefferson County, Ohio, involving the transfer of 11100 acres of the best coal laud of tho State. G.

It is considered a vory largo deal and will open up an entirely new mining territory.

Tho opening gun of the Republican campaign in this stato is to bo fired iu Reading at the convention of the State League of Republican Clubs, which v 111 be held on September 20 and 21. While the Union League and the Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia both sought to have the credit of open ing the state campaign. Chairman Pen rose, of the Republican state commit tee. decided that the active young Re publicans of Pennsylvania, who consti tute the membership of the various clubs which compose the Republican L««gue, should be allowed the oppor tunity of holding the initial meeting under the auspices of the state organi sation in favor of Roosevelt and Fair banks, Roosevelt, he argued, is an especial favorite of the Young Republicans of the country and the clubmen of the Keystone state who have taken a lively Interest in his candidacy should be al lowed to lead the fighting for the na tional ticket in the present contest. The officers and members of the Btate League fully appreciate the honor which has been conferred upon their organization, and they propose to make their convention next month one of the most notable in the history of the league.

Wiggins, presi dent of the State League, and John Kelly, the secretary, both of Phila delphia. and the other officers of the league are co-operating with the com mittee of Berks county Republicans who are mapping out the program for tha convention, the mass meeting and the various features for tho entertain ment of tho delegates and alternates and other visitors who will be in Read ing during the convention week. Prominent Republicans from almost every county in the state have signi fied their intention of being present, and it is expected that there will be some splendid oratory both In the con vention and at the mass meeting, in support of tho national ticket and in arraignment of the Democracy. Patriotism and aggressive Republi canism will bo the order of the day and the campaign In this common wealth for the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks will certainly be open ed under the most favorable auspices. The State League of Republican Clubs will plan to hold meetings in avory county in the state before election day. Where no Republican club now exists a determined effort will he made to or ganize one before the campaign shall be well under way. Where there is a lacking of interest in clubs now on the rolls of the League, organizers will be sent to see that en thusiasm is once more stirred up among the members, and that they are gotten into line without delay. One of the features of the convention will bo the efforts that will be made to enlist the first voters of the state to support the national Republican candi dates and the entire party ticket at the coming election. WANT FIRST VOTERS PREPARED. First Voters' clubs will be formed wherever ten or more young lueu uooui to cast their votes for the first time can be got together.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 81.-1 p. m. —Success crowned tlio Russian arm ies the first day of the great battle of Liao Yang and the utmost confidence prevails here that the issue of the tight will be a complete victory for Gener al Kuropatkin. From dawn until darkness yesterday the battle raged,first in the center and left and then on the right of the Rus sian line. Tho Japanese charged gal lantly and desperately in an effort to break the center aud tl>en, in the af ternoon,came a movement against the opposite flank. This attack was delivered from the west, but General Kuropatkin had evidently anticipated just what hap pened,for he not only met and repuls ed it, but actually was able by super ior force to overlap and envelop the Japanese. Last night both armies bivouaoked in their positions. No attempt was made by Lieutenant General Sakharoff in his report to esti mate the Japanese losses,exoept to say that they were extremely heavy, and the Russian losses were only approxi mated at B,(XX). No Russian General officers fell. General Kuropatkin's forces occupi ed positions forming a semi-circle about Liao Yang,the Haaks resting 011 the Taitse river, east aud west of the city. The battle divided itself into two positions. After a preliminary bom bardment of the Russian lines on the right and center the Japanese infantry advanced to the attack, charging the Russian centre. Although repeatedly chocked they came with bull-dog ten acity, hurling themselves against the Russian positions with the bayonet. There were many bloody hand to baud encounters. Ry noon the Japanese actually suc ceeded iu occupying a portion of the Russian trenches. Then General Ku ropatkin sent forward some reserves, delivering a series of counter attacks, recaptured the lost positions and drove back the Japanese all along the line. SIXTEEN HOURS' TERRIFIC FIGHTING ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.- Lientenant General Sakharoff, tele graphing to the general staff, on the couclasion of yesterday's sixteen honrs of fighting around liiao Yang, esti mates that the Russian casualties throughout the day were three thou sand. The battle ended at 9 o'clock last night, when many positions occupied hy the Jananese, were retaken and held hy the Russians. The report from Lieutenant General Sakharoff is as follows: "From 5 o'clock this morning until U tonight the Japanese foroes attacked our front al positions before Liao Yang and on the left bank of the Taitso river. Roth their artillery and rifle lire was intense. Their main efforts are direct ed against our center positions and left Hank, but numerous attacks were repulsed along the whole liue. Gur troops made several counter attacks culminating in bayonet fighting. Many positions which had been oc •■Ho*l l, y tlui -T»i>anftK»! were retaken at four o'clock in the afternoon. Dur ing the artillery attack our batteries did very effective work. About four this afternoon the euemy was observ ed to turn our right flank with con siderable forces but several battal ions of reserves advanced and after a fierce engagement checked the Jap anese and compelled them to retire. Fighting continued until after dark. "The spirit of our troops is excell ent and the men are rejoiced over the news of heroic behavior of the garri son at Fort Arthur, the repulsing of Japanese attacks upon which has been communicated to them. "Gur casualties today have been con siderable, reaching about 3,<>00. The Japanese losses must have been heavy.' PRESIDENT NOW READY FOR VISITORS OYSTER BAY.
