night a sacred concert was given at
Mechanics pavilion in memory OF
President Mckinley, with Q. chorus OF
500 voices.
The knights who arrived after dark
received the impression that the city
was af1ame. Warships IN the harbor
were strung with lights and the white
beams of searchlights crossed the sky,
The ferry building, with it's high
tower picked out in green fncandescents
and resplendent with great red electri-
cal maltese cross, crowned the entrance
to the electric highway which extended
UP Market, street for two miles and
which was formed of colonnades, coll
nuns and arches of glowing bulks.
All along the line Masonic emblems
and American flags hung from every
building. The Masonic temple was a.
blaze with light and Templar insignia.
The court of honor at the intersec-
ton Of Market, GearY and Kearney
streets, loomed overhead with 5000 in
candescent lights.
From cables stretching from tall
buildings on each side. of Market street
was suspended glittering bell shaped
mass, WITH a TIN IoHIy rect IN dldHe-
ter, with strings tapering to the top
lights, which in the center of the web,
blazing like a huge jewel, was seen the
sign of the order. A huge passion cross
and crown, with the motto "In Hoe
Signo vinces,' all thickly encrusted
with lights, lay in the center of the
web. At its outer edge, suspended from
the huge ring at intervals, were other
emblems Of the order, all richly illum-
mated.

UPRISING IN TURKEY.
Regular E,ooops Finding II Difficult t.
auppress Armenians.


Paris, Sept. s.. A Temps dispatch
from Ccnstantinople by way Of Sofia
says an official report which has reach
ed one Of the foreign consuls there
states the Armenian insurgents at Van,
Asiatic Turkey, are successfully resist
ing the Turkish troops, which until
yesterday had been unable to reduce or
disperSe them. The Armenians advan-
ced to- within about hundred yards Of
the French consulate. The population
of Van is seeking refuge in schools and
converts. 1t is expected Turkey will
mobilize the Fourth army corps and
draw troops from Asia Minor in order
to suppress the uprising.
1t was announced from Constantinople
Sept. g that fierce fight between Ar
mentan insurgents and Turkish troops
had occurred at Van. Aug. 81, that more
than a score were killed. About $50
Arrhenians raided the town, captured.
four horses and barricaded themselves.
The troops attacked the houses and in
the fight which followed two soldiers
and twenty other persons We're killed.
The authorities set fire to a number of
adjoining houses, so that the troops
might be better enabled to besiege the
Insurgents. 1t was said by the authori-
HES that other Armenian bands We're
preparing to cross the Persian frontier.

SLIFER TRIAL SET
Grundy County Court convenes and
the Famous slifer Murder Trial Will
Begin Monday, Sept. IL.

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, Sept. 5. The
Grundy county court convened here to-
day. The most important case to come
before the court this term is that of the
state VS.. Slifer, for wife murder. When
assignments were called the case was
set for hearing Monday, Sept. 12. The
case is one of the most sensational that
has ever come up in the county. Slifer
was young farmer living near the
Grundy county line south. He and his
wife went to Marshalltown to trade
and that day Slifer purchased chloro-
form at drug store, signing his wife's
name. The next morning Slifer's S
young wife was found dead beside him
in the bed A note was found in her
clothing, saying she had suicided. Lat
er Slifer was suspected and arrested.
Then the fact about the purchase of the
poison and many other suspicious cir
cumstances were brought to light. 1t
is said there was another woman in
the case.
Another important case that may be
tried of that of the ex-priest, Seguin
VS.. a number of business men of Dixie.
1t is the general opinion that this case
will be again postponed.

ued day and night from August "a to

Gear Not Despairing.
The emperor has undergone great
strain during the past week. His main
fear has been Kuropatkin would be cut
off. Like his subjects, the emperor
has taken Kuropatkins defeat greatly
to heart, but preservation of the army
organization has been great relief and
his answer to the battle of Liao Yang
will be mobilization of two more army
corps.
So far as can be learned the emperor
shows no disposition to blame Kuropat-
kin. All classes of the population are
awaiting with intense eagerness re-
ceipt Of the details of the battle and
estimates and particulars of losses.
Inc accounts of the battle published in
newspapers here are very incomplete.
Inc cry OF the papers is that war must
go on until Russia is Victorious if not
THIS year, then next year.

FIGHTING BRIEFLY REVIEWED.
Both Sides Were Apparently Quiet on
Sunday.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-A dispatch
to the Official Messenger, filed at Muh-
den Sunday, says: Bombardment OF
Lao Yang, which romnenced last
Thursday. continued riday and Sat-
urday. On those day the forts sur
rounding the town with-stood the
heavy fire of the artillery and the brill
liant assault by the Japanese infantry.
All attacks were repulsed, mines play
ing an important part in the discom-
future of tssailants. Nevertheless
Liao Yang Notifications finally were
evacuated and the remainder of the
reserve supplies destroyed by fire.
During the three days of bomhard-
ment of the railway station and
suburbs the Chinese town, suffered
most The latter was abandoned by
it's inhabitants after the town was
ablaze in many places. To the east in
the neiShborhood of Jentai station and
coal mines there was hot fighting Fri
day and Saturday. Both sides. accord
ing to latest information, are quiet.
On Saturday trains from Mukden went
south as far as Jentai

tempered by the development of the
fact that the Russian commanderin-
chief had removed the bulk of his
stores northward before the battle, ieav-
ing a mere shell at Liao Yang, and
that he succeeded in extricating his
army, especially Stakelbergs corps,
from the clutches of the Japanese.
The war Office here believes the bat
tie is virtually ended and that kuro.
patkin's line of retreat is open.
While admitting Kuropatkin sus-
tanned a severe reverse the war Office
considers the failure of Field Marshal
Oyama to hold and cut off Kuropatkin
is strategic defeat for Oyama. Rus
sian artillery authorities figure Oyama
had numerical superiority of $4,000
men in the operations against Kuro-
patkin.
The exact position of the Russian
right flank is not known at the war

Office, but it is not believed the Japan
to endanger it's retirement. The war
Office does not expect renewal of the
fighting for several days, which they
think the Japanese will employ in re-
cuperating, while Kuropatkin collects
his army preparatory to pushing the
troops northward. He has a double
track railroad and a high road. When
fighting recommences it is expected
here it will be in the nature of a series
of rear guard actions as final with
drawal is effected
Cause Of the Defeat,
According to military authorities all
OF Kuropatkin's hopes and plans for
victory were dashed by the wonderful
celerity with which Oyama's right
pushed northward after crossing the
Taitse river. Here Kuropatkin's infor-
nation evidently was faulty. in beliey-
ing he had before him the whole of the
japanese forces, which had crossed
over to the right bank. He had already
completed preliminary bombardment of
Kuroki's force Friday and was about to
strike him when he discovered another
Japanese column had crossed the river
further up the stream, and had work.
ed around still farther northward. The
latter column was marching with great
rapidity westward to cut the railroad
and close the door on the Russian re-
treat to Mukden. Just at this po1nl
there is hiatus in the reports. Wm.th-
er kuropatkin actually attempted to
deliver a blow against kuroki is not
clear. At all events, II ne did he was
compelled to desist upon the discovery

United States Pressing Russia For an
Answer to Her Representations Re-

I
CaIchas.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff is being pressed by
Ambassador Mccormick for an answer
to the representations of the United
States in regard to the cargoes OF the
steamers Arabia and Calchas, both
captured by vladivostok's squadron,
the Calchas while bound from Puget
sound for Japan. 1t is understood the
United States now goes to the extent
OF asking for release of the cargoes.
The foreign office, however, is unable
to give definite response to the repre-
sentations made, pending decision
of the commission which is examining
the question of contraband of war. The
commission is not making much pro-
gress, owing to the position taken by
Grand Duke Alexander Mikehailovich,
head Of the department of mercantile
and marine, and brother -in-law of en-
peror, and Grand Duke Alexis, high adj
miral and uncle of his majesty, who are
standing out against the American and
British view of food -stuffs as condi-
tional contraband, on the ground if the
contention is allowed it would be idle
to attempt to stop contraband bound
for Japan, as every pound of food-stuff,
etc, which does not come under the
head of absolute contraband would be
consigned to private firms or persons in
Japan or else they would be sent to an
port for transmission.
