JAPS FAIL TO FLANK ENEMY
?
Two Mighty Armies Engaged in Decisive Battle at
Liaoyang?The Opposing Forces Number
400.000 Men.
The greatest battle of the war be
gan around Liaoyang early Tuesday
morning, the anniversary of the birth
of the Mikado.
Opening with an artillery duel, fol
lowed by a general advance of the
Japs, the first day's struggle of what
promises to be a several-day's deci
sive engagement, terminated with the
honors in favor of the Russians, they
having repelled attacks made upon
several positions.
The combined strength of the op
posing forces is estimated at 300,000
to 400,000 men.
The Japanese have 1,200 guns on
the field, but the strength of the Rus
sian artillery is not known.
THE BATTLE PROM LIAOYANO.
Cltlseas Wondering What Is to Be the Fste
?f the City.
Liaoyang (By Cable).?A Russian
correspondent supplies the following:
"The eventful moment has arrived,
and the battle of Liaoyang is in prog
ress. Before 6 o'clock A. M., when
the first gun was fired, but soon after
ward hundreds of cannon were thun
dering along our southern and east
ern fronts.
"The centcr of our position is lo
cated near the famous Tower of Liao
yang, about seven miles to the south
east. The fighting there was of the
most desperate character, but is now
going on much nearer at the flanks.
_ "The hissing of the shells is dis
tinctly audible, and from the city it
is easy to see the shells bursting.
"Heavy guns were brought into ac
tion by both sides, and their dull roar
was discernible above the sharper de
tonation of field and mountain guns.
"The Russians are using big ord
nance, which is in position in the in
ner ring of the Liaoyang torts.
"The noisy Chinese population has
suddenly become quiet. The main
streets of Liaoyang, always the scene
of the busiest traffic and usually re
sounding with thousands of shrill
voices from sunrise to sunset, is now
as silent as if it were night.
"The inhabitants are watching the
distant battle from the housetops and
watch towers, or are wandering gloom
ily in the streets.
J'Wc are asking ourselves if the tide
battle is going to swamp the city
rand what is to become of the houses
' and other property:" ????"?
. The Japanese are searching the
whole countryside with their fire, se
lecting certain squares of territory
on which for a few moments they
mass a hail of shot and shell from
their. guns. They then pass to an
other square, thus working the whole
field, with mathematical precision,
from right to left. In this way the
entire Russian front has been system
atically searched in the first four hours
of cannonading.
Then began the general Japanese ad
vance along the whole line.
The Russians have been hotding
their ground gallantly and their losses
are small, considering the terrible na
ture of the Japanese fire.
Wounded zv.vt liecn nourine

hurt by shrapnel shells and some by

TWO THOUSAND JAPANESE FELL.
lasslaa Losses Als* Heavy at Battle ?! Aap
lat?Japs Captet Oaas
Tolcio (By Cable).?The Japanese
lost 2,000 men killed or wounded at
the battle of Anping. The Russian
losses have not been estimated, but
are said to have been heavy.
The Japanese captured eight guns
at Anping and eight at Anshanshan.
The first Japanese army was divided
into three columns and moved against
Anping, where the Russians occupied
a steep and well-fortified eminence,
whi^Ji they had spent months in
strengthening. The Russian position
to the east and south of Anping ex
tended along a ridge north of Tai
shukou to Hundshaling through Han
polin and Tatientsu. The advantages
were with the Russians. The Japan
ese were not able to secure good po
sitions for their artillery except along
Liaoyang road.
Midnight Bayonet Charge.
The Japanese left column moved
forward August 23, driving back a
small force of Russians, and on the
25th took possession of a line on an
eminence north of Erhtaokou and
south of I'elingtsu and prepared to
give battle the following day. The
center and right columns made their
preparatory moves before the night
of the 25th. At midnight of the 25th
the Japanese ccnter suddenly rushed
forward in a bayonet charge against
the Russian center, which was located
in the vicinity of Kugchangling.
This charge was a surprise and was
successful. The Japanese captured
the entire position. The Russian
forces on the second and third lines
were then strongly reinforced and of
fered determined resistance. A fierce
rifle engagement ensued and contin
ued without abatement throughout the
26th. The Russian artillery posted at
Anping got the range of the Japanese
lines and sent in a deadly fire.
Japs Badly Exposed.
The Japanese artillery was not able
to obtain good positions and was
badly exposed. The Russian infan
try endeavored to recover its lost
ground, but the Japanese held their
positions and managed gradually to
press the Russians toward the val
ley of the Lan River. The Japanese
right column made a, A?
Hungahahng.
A severe rific and artillery duel
opened at dawn and lasted until dusk.
The Japanese left column, the prin
cipal strength of which was in in
fantry, attacked an eminence north
of Tahsikou at dawn on the 26th. The
Russian artillery was in semiperma
nent fortifications north of Tatientsu
and northwest of Kaofengsu, and in
strength was superior to that of the
Japanese. This bombardment reached
its height between 2 and 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. The Russian fire had
dwindled at times, but the Japanese
were unable to sibnee the enemy's
guns. The Russian infantry was rein
forced and pressed against the left
wing of the Japanese left column.
The Japanese troops were dangerous
ly c.\|i(i9c?2, iiid the sdvar.cc c? the
loft column retired.
Russian Line Divided.
In the meantime the Japanese cen
ter had pierced the Russian line, com
pletely dividing it, but both the Rus- ,
sian wings held fheir positions firmly.
During the afternoon of the 2(>th a l
..treat thunderstorm broke over the
battlefield, covering the hills with mist ;
and preventing accurate use of the!
guns.
On the morning of the 27th. through j
:111st and ha/.e, all three of the Japan-!
csc columns moved forward. The Rus- j
?ians resisted this advance vigorous
ly, and it was nightfall before the!
Japanese were in possession of the
long ridfce. The most fierce engage-!
:nehts of August 2'> occurred at Hung- >
shilling and Kungchangling.
The moonlight revealed the Japan
ese troops as they advanced. The
Russian defenders of these positions. |
besides opening a fierce rifle fire on \
the enemy, rolled boulders down the ?
hillside upon tlie ehtnbing Japanese I
soldiers. The Japanese reserved their I
fire and climbed steadily upward, final- i
Iy reaching the summit and driving!
the Russians out.

Montreal (Special). ? Nine people
were killed and 23 others injured m
a head-on collision on the Grand
Trunk Railway, near Richmond, Que.
The trains involved were a special
excursion from Montreal bound for
Sherbrooke and passenger train No.
5, running between Island Pond, Vt.,
and Montreal.
The collision, it is claimed, was due
to neglect of orders on the part of
the train crew of the excursion train,
which left Richmond without await
ing the arrival of the passenger train.
The excursibn train was running as
the first section of the regular Gr^tnd
Trunk Portland Express, which usu
ally crosses the Island Pond train at
Richmond, and was running on" Its
time. This makes it all the more
inexplicable <rhy Conductor Atkinson,
in charge of the excursion train, did
not wait to nake the usual crossing.
Atkinson disappeared shortly after
the wreck occurred.
The excursion train, made up of
10 coaches and a baggage car, car
ried about 1,000 persons bound for
the exhibition at Sherbrooke. The
Island Pond train was composed of
five coaches and a baggage car and
had only a small number of passen
gers.
The excursion train had barely
cleared the Richmond yard, when,
rounding a curve, it met the Island
Pond train, running at a high rate
of speed. Both engineers reversed,
and. with their firemen, jumped, es
caping with minor injuries. The
shock of the collision was plainly
heard in Richmond, more than a mile
away.
Both engines were locked firmly
together. The baggage car of tHfc ex
cursion train was picked up and drop
ped on top at the car following it?a
sniobr, and it was in the$e two cars
that the greater number of fatalities
occurred.
The most 'graphic account of what
followed tae collision is given by J.
> A. Denault, a Montreal banker, who
' was seated in the smoker of the ex
cursion train.
"When the (sHock came,"' he said,
"I was hit oa. t)|e head and momen
tarily stunnea '.When I came to my
senses I appeyed to. be lying un

my feet. Ho was groaning, and, in
a minute or two. said he was (lying.
Then he was still. When relief came
he was dead. I was lucky enough
to escape with only a few contusions."
Other passengers told similar stor
ies of their escape, but the trainmen
had nothing to ?ay, pending the in
quest.

Cam Belt
Washington, D. C. (Special).?The
weather Bureau's weekly summary of
crop conditions is as follows:
Although cool weather has pre
vented rapid development of corn in
the Ohio valley and Lake region, the
crops, as a whole, has experienced de
cided improvements. Much of that
prostrated by winds in the previous
week in Indiana and Illinois is
straightening. In the Missouri val
ley the temperature has been more
favorable, and the advancement of
the crop toward maturity has been
much more rapid than in the Cen
tral Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Early corn has already matured in
Southern Missouri, and ? is ripening
rapidly in Nebraska and South Da
kota, cutting being in process in the
first-name 1 State and in Kansas. The
reports .indicate that from three to
four weeks of favorable weather will
be required to mature the late crop.
The week was practically rainless
in the spring-wheat region of Minne
sota and the Dakotas, affording fa
vorable weather for harvesting and
thrashing. Some carfy \%%icat in the
northern portion of North Dakota is
yet unripe, and rust is still damaging
late wheat in that State, and much
of the crop will not be cut. Disap
pointing yields are generally reported
from Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
In Northern Alabama and in the
southern portions of Mississippi and
Louisiana cotton has improved, and
the crop is in good condition in Ok
lahoma and Indian .Territories, but
elsewhere the reports generally indi
cate unfavorable progress. Deteriora
tion from rust and shedding is re
ported from nearly all districts. Heavy
rains have proved injurious in portions
of Florida and Georgia, while over a
large part of Texas the crop has suf
fered dccidedly from drought. In the
last-mentioned State boil worms con
tinue destructive, and boil weevils arc
puncturing nearly all squares in south
western, ccntral, eastern and coast di
visions, and arc causing much dam
age as far north as Dallas, Kauf
man and Hunt countics. Picking Is
in full progress in Texas, and is gen
eral in the southern portions of the
central and Eastern districts.
A general improvement in tobacco
is indicated. Cutting is well advanced
In the Middle Atlantic States and New
England and is in progress in the
Ohio valley.
In Wisconsin the crop is doing well,
although maturing slowly.
The outlook for apples continues
promising in New England. New York
and the upper Lake region, but un
favorable reports continue from the

Statesboro, 6a. (Special).*?-Sebas-i
t{ne McBride, a negro living neatf
Portal, in the upper part of Bulloch!
county, was taken out of his house
Saturday night by a mob of five men;
carried out in the woods and whip
ped severely and then shot. He died
soon afterwards.
Before death came, however, he reJ
Iated to a number of white men and1
colored persons the manner in which'
he was handled, and told the names
of three of his assailants. They were,
according to his statement. Perry
Barnes, Henry Barnes and Westly'.
Waters, all white men. The names
of the others he did not seem to know.;
He said the men came ?to his house'
and hailed him at the door. Wheni
it was opened they came in with guns'
and held his wife at bay while they
carried him away. After they had'
been gone sometime his wife heard'
several guns fired. Sometime in the;
night McBride returned to his house,j
badly beaten and shot in the back int
several places.
Several of the white neighbors were
notified and went to see the negro.;
and took his testimony. After his:
death Coroner D. Q. Stanford was|
notified and held an inquest.
The killing was done some distance
from this place, and it was impossi-<
ble to learn nil the details of the crime.(
The verdict of the coroner's jury was'
obtained, however, and the sheriff has'
gone to arrest the persons named in
the verdict of the jury, given below:
"We, the coroner's jury impaneled
to investigate the death of Sebastine
McBride. find that the deceased came
to his death by wounds inflicted upon
his body by a mob of five men, three
of whom were identified by the de
ceased as Perry Barnes. Henry Barnes
and Wesley Waters. We recommend
that warrants he issued for the above
named men and that the matter be
investigated."
TO TEST IT IN COURT.
Deportation Question to Be Settled la a Feder
al Tribunal.
WashingtonjD. C. (Special).?Frank'
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, declared that, in
his opinion, the Government will
have to take a hand before the ques
tions raised by the deportations of
Lunion miners at Crpple Creek are
settled.
The federation plans to force this
by bringing the troubles into the Fed
eral courts. They are confident that
these courts would find it impossible
to uphold the deportation of the1
miners. Having obtained a decree
to this effect they dcclare the Unit-j
cd States would be compelled to en
force it.*
"We only obey decrees of the courts
because we know that behind them is
the power to inforce them." said MrJ
Mr. Morrison. "Behind the Federal'
courts is the power of the United*
States. We do not believe anyone*
would defy the United States, and1
there is absolutely no law under which
these arbitrary deportations would be
justified."
Sometime ago the federation issu-s
ed a circular asking for the contri
bution of funds to enable the union
miners of Colorado to fight the mine
owners in the Federal courts. Much
aid of this sort' has been offered by
union men all over the country, and ife
is proposed to fight the matter to *
finish.
