JAPs IN CLOSE PURSUIT
RETIREMENT OF RUSSIAN EAST
ERN DIVISIONS A DIFFI-
CULT TASK.

LiaOyang, Aug. 31.-Through Aug.
81 and % the Russian eastern divi-
sions continued to fall back in good
order on Liaoyang, but the movement
was slow on account Of bad roads and
the difficulties of transportation and
the Japanese pressed closely several
times with light batteries, dragging
guns to the hills and shelllng troops
whose retirement was covered by Rus
sian guns. Consequently there were
frequent artillery duels.
General Marson was wounded and
there were other losses Of about 2J0
men.
The Russian retreat from Anshan.
shan was ordered for strategic rea-
sons, practically no resistance being
offered. A light screen Of batteries

ment. But the Japanese soon discov-
cred this ruse and pressed forward,
coming up with the Russian rear guard
Sunday morning. For an hour the
Light Batteries Were Holly Engaged.
To the lot of the Omsk, Tobolsk and
Krasnovarsk regiments fell the duty OF
covering the retreat of General Zarou-
baieff's Fourth Siberian army corps
The task was difficult, as the enemy
continued to advance deploying light
mountain guns against the Russian
rear and left flanks, and it was impera-
tive that the enemy should be held
back to permit the removal of the
baggage and artillery trains. The
roads were washed out and heavy with
mud produced by the deluge of rain
preceding Friday. Many guns were
mired and the horses exhausted Co.'S
sacks and infantrymen were harnessed
to the guns and managed to haul them
along. 1t was slow work, but was sue
cessfully accomplished. The greatest
difficulty of the retirement on the east
front was experienced before Vanban-
tai pass, where it was necessary to
hold the Japanese in check until the
artillery transport passed through and
also to keep in touch with the Tenth
army corps, commanded by General
Herschelmann, to the north, as we'll
as with the southern division, in order
to prevent turning movement.
From dawn until dark the eastern
troops, although fatigued by four days
fighting. sustained a rear guard action.

Port Arthur Fort.

Port Arthur Fort.
Chefoo, Aug. 31.-Following a grand
three days assault on the defenses or
Port Arthur the Japanese rested dur
ing the daytime of Aug. 23. At IL
O'Clock that night they concentrated a
strong force to attack the ZarOboutni
fort, which is a strong position on the
Russian right flank. The Japanese
made clever use of the available cover,
creeping forward in Indian fashion for
one hour in spite of the Russian rife
fire. Midnight found them properly
formed within striking distance of the
Notifications. They then made pow
erful rush. but were moved down in
all but one quarter.
Here body of Japanese succeeded
in entering the fort over the dead bod
les of their comrades, but nearly all
were bayonetted inside the fort. The
remnant retreated, losing severely as
they fled. After repulsing the enemy
the Russian troops cheered.
The Japanese searchlights showed
CHASTITY heaps of dead, like magic Ian
tern pictures.
The Japanese soon were reinforced
and commenced the attack furiously,
but again were repulsed

Though the tomb intrudes its shade
Though the character is stilled
That was seated in her heart.
It's monument of truth
That will ne'er from me depart.

Was the spotless life she lived
Only grace and loneliness.

Senator Latimer's defeat i

Senator Latimer's defeat IN
the convention for delegate-at-
large to the national convention
has no special significance when
considered alone, but when his
defeat is coupled with the repu-
diation of his position on good
roads, and knowing the fact that
Senator Tillman is opposed to
Latimer's scheme, the defeat be-
comes very significant and will
set the Latimer friends to guess
ing what it will endin Latimer
is winning a great deal OF nation
al repute these days; he is in
constant demand all over the
union. and our readers will re-
member that when he started
out On his own hook to do some
thing for the people we said then
he was tramping upon treacher-
Gus soil, and unless exceedingly
careful would call upon his head
the wrath of his colleague. The
action of the State convention
confirms in part our prophecy.
South Cardinals political sys-
tenn has taken away all freedom
of thought and action, chose in
control of the party machinery
have absolute power and can
make or unmase at will. Sena-
torTillmanis regarded the party's
head, and his power is as absolute
as that of any monarch in Europe
hence the politicians who attend
the conventions truckle to his
every wish. Tillman is opposed
to Latimer's scheme to obtain
government aid for building pub
lie roads. and Notwithstanding
this opposition Latimer contin-
ues to make speeches in favor of
the scheme. When the convention
ton met, Senator Tillman and
Governor Heyward were elected
by acclamation, but Latimer was
out West moulding a good roads
sentiment. and was not only de-
feated for delegate. but Tillman's
friends jabbed the dagger deeper
still by voting down the resolu-
tion advocating Latlmer's
scheme. In our opinion, Latlmer
was not wanted by Tillman, and
the opportunity was at hand to
hit him a, crack, and he took ad-
vantage Of it.
We predict again, if Latimer
persists in keepings his counsel,
and not taking orders from Sen
ator Tillman. before his term Of
Office shall have expired Tillman
will charge Latimer with Repub-
licanism, and have every little
