st. Peter sburg, October 12.-Severe
fighting north Yenti resulting in tenn
poraIy check of Kuropatkins advance
guard, of which associated press COR
respondent at Mnkden telegraphed the
first news, is regarded at the war office
as indicating a general engagement.
Latest official dispatches indicating
disposition of various corps show the
whole army is not actually in line of
battle. The present engagement may
therefore be regarded as a counter at
tack which an enterprising foe like
Japs might be expected to make, but
without any calculation to prevent
Russian advance.
Kuropatkins' superiority in num-
bers, it is held here, is bound to soon
er or later, compel the japanese to
fall back upon strong positions within
triangle formed by Yentai, Lao Yang
and Sykwintung.

FAIRBANKS IN
HAWKEYE STATE
He Has a Most TriumphaI Tour and
Greets the Aged Father of Sen
atOr pOlIiver, Which Calls For
Much Enthusiasm.

Marshalltown, Iowa, Oct. 11.-Sen
Fairbanks made here tonight the last
of a series of ten speeches delivered
since leaving Omaha early this morn
ing. The day was one of the most
successful of the western tour, both in
point of attendance and in point CT
interest. While there was no lack of
enthusiasm at any of the meetings,
Waterloo supplied the largest attend
ance and greatest enthusiasm. At
that place a meeting was held in the
public park. The crowd was so great
that the senator's voice could not be
heard on the outskirts. The most in
teresting event of the day occurred
at Fort Dodge, where Fairbanks spoke
from the rear of platform. Observ-
ing the aged father of Senator DolIi-
yer seated in a carriage in the crowd,
Fairbanks descended from the car at
the close of his speech making way
through the crowd to the old gent in
the carriage and greeted him heartily.

THE BIC FIGHT
IS GOING ON
Russia Assumes the Offensive and
for the First Time Attacks the
Enemy.-An Attempt Evidently to
Retake Lilo Yang from the laps.
A Bloody Battle Will Follow.
Nothing Decisive as Yet.

Mukden, Oct. IL, IL D.m.-A bloody
battle is now raging about six miles
north of Yentai railroad station. The
japanese on Sunday fell back along
the whole front and the Russian ad-
vance guards crossed the Schili river
(about half way between Mukden and
Liao Yang and came within three
miles of Yentai but the Japanese re-
ceived strong leinforcemens infantry
and artillery and they even assumed
the offensive. The fighting lasted all
day and night. The japanese direct
ed their artillery fire with great skill
and searched the Russian positions so
fiercely that the Russians fell back
north of the Schili river and engaged
the Japanese two miles south of it. A
terrific artillery engagement is pro-
ceeding along the entire front. The
result of the battle is still undecided.

DAMAGE BY THE
FLOOD REPAIRED
Seven DetOured Trains
Pass Through Here.
Traffic on the Main Line Resumed
Today ella River Bridge
Damaged.

The S. F. P. & P. railroad has been
doing a rushing business for the past
thirty-six hours moving detoured
trains of the Santa Fe company. The
| first train arrived from the south
about o'clock on Monday evening.
1t consisted of ten coaches. About
a. m. on Tuesday another train of
thirteen coaches arrived and between
that time and 10 O'Clock last night
five more trains passed through max
ing seven in all, one of them having
twenty-five cars.
The road east of Alqu luerque is re-
ported to have been repaired so that
trains can get through now on the
main line. While the repairs which
have been made are in all probability
of temporary nature, and it may be
some time before raffic resumes its
normal condition still trains will be
run with as little delay as possible.
Trains on the S. f. P & P. road
will be also run again on their regu-
lar schedules. The repairs to the
damage to the road west of Kingman,
by the storms of last July and August
have just been completed ana the
road bed is now in its normal condi-
tion again.
1t will probably be a couple of
months before permanent repairs can
be made in New Mexico, but the road
is nov in a safe condition according
to latest reports.
While New Mexico was the scene of
the recent heavy storms, some of the
flood waters from it found its way into
Arizona and caused some damage to
railroad property, the Phoenix and
Eastern road being the sufferer.
The ella river ises in New Mexico
and big flood in it washed out two
or three bents of the bridge across
that stream east of Kelvin, interrupt
ing traffic for a short time, although
it happened at very opportune time,
as the engines and crews used on the
run between Phenix and Kelvin, were
transferred to the main line to assist
in moving the through Santa Fe
trains.

SENATOR CLARK'S
MARITAL WOES
His Late Announcement of Mar
riage Brings Forth One Who Also
Claimed Him-She Was a Visitor
to Prescott a Few Years Ago.

Prescott people will read with more
or less interest the following taken
from the Los Angeles Examiner of
last Friday. The lady in question
was visitor to Prescott about three
years ago and it was generally SNIP
posed at that time that her and Sena-
tor Clark were engaged to.be married
Miss Laube became nationally famous
few years ago through her intellect
ual accomplishments and especially so
in the lecturing line, on the subject
of "Human Magnets. - Personally
she is an attractive woman and made
a favorable impression among all
whom she met in Prescott and Jerome
while visitor to this section: The
Examiner says:
''An affront has been offered to my
daughter. 1 think can promise Sem
ator Clark as bitter a struggle as he
has ever known
This statement was made yesterday
by G. Lube, father of Miss Hattie
Rose Laube.
Had L been in my usual health the
affront would not have gone unpun-
ished as long as this. In fact if Sena-
tor Clark had not known my physical
condition he would never have made
the statement he did in regard to his
''This was an objectionable affront
in view of the fact that he and my
daughter parted little more than a
year ago as acknowledged sweethearts.
Miss Laube attributes her own and
the senator's infstuation for each 9TH
er primarily to politics.

in politics, she said yesterday. 81
first met Senator Clark at San Fran
cisco just after the election. He sent

For the present shall make no at
tempt to rectify the inaccuracies in
attributed to me which are
now going the rounds of the press.
l am aware that by my silence in
the past have allowed wide margin
for gossip, but after people have Cos
5iped to their hearts content, they
will be the more ready TO receive the
story as it is. The curiosity of the
public will be amply satisfied when
the proper time comes and William

CARELESS CREW.

of an extra freight train which collid-
ed with the Missouri Pacific worlds
fair special yesterday resulting in the
death of twenty-nine persons, is held
responsible for the disaster by a cor
oners' jury which returned its verdict
tonight. The verdict charges the crew
with disobeying orders and with being
asleep at their post duty. No recon-
mendation was made as to the prose-
ccution of the train crew. District
Attorney Morrow says he will immed-
lately begin the prosecution of persons
charged with the responsibility of the

| st. Petersburg, Oct. 70 Everything
points to that district as being the
prospective scene of decisive strug-
gle in this years campaign. Strategic
reason of a most weighty character
renders it imperative for Russians as
we'll as for Japan to bestow their chief
attention upon the country east of
the railroad. The Russians are COM
peeled to take this course because the
railroad runs northeast ward and
hence the lines of communication are
more vulnerable from the east. The
japanese are influenced by similar
considerations, but the railroad no
longer plays formost part in their
plans. In view of the approaching
close of navigation at Yinginkow and
of the fact that the line at Pitzewo is
liable to interruption, they must con-
slider Feng Chang and Takushan as
the source of supplies during winter,
and with this view eastern communi-
cations of Lilac Yang are of the ut
most Importance. The Yentai TRAN
gle is admirably suited to protect
them. Marshal Oyama must therefore
hold this triangle at all costs. The
problem confronting Kuropatkin in
the Immediate future is to capture the
fortified heights composing this trian-
gle, where the japanese will have adj
vantage fighting behind breastworks
and utilizing their superiority in
mountain guns. The general superb
GRITTY of the japanese in mountain
operations is conceded.
