HOW THEY DID IT.

In our editorial account last week of the
work of the organization to control the
State convention held at Norfolk on the
3rd inst. we mentioned a circular which
mad been sent out by the county chairman
of Fauquier county. That circular is as
follows:
Warrenton, Va, Feb. 2nd, 1904
Dear Sir -
The Republican voters of Fauquer
county will meet at Warrenton Saturday,
February 18th, to eject delegates and al
ternates to the District and State conven-
lions, which convenes at Alexandra Feb.
%, and Norfolk March 9rd, 1904. All or
ganization Republicans are earnestly
urged to attend.
| haye been creditably informed that
the Hon. Park Agnew will be opposed for
reelection as State chairman, and | trust
that the Republicans of Fauquier will turn
out Feb. Is, and give him their hearty
and loyal support.
Please see our friends in your vicinity
and bring them with you. Your intiu-
ence will not only be appreciated by the
organization of this county, but by MIR.
Agnew also. Hoping to see you on the
18th, l am,
Very truly yours,
L. F. HANSBROUGH,
Ch'm'n Rep. Co. Committee.
Mr.. Hansbrough is deputy Internal
Revenue Collector under Mr.. Agnew, who
is Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Western District of Virginia. The above
circular was addressed to only such Re-
pubhcans as were supposed to be friendly
to the Organization. 1t is striking
proof of the pernicious activity Of the
deputies and lieutenants Of Mr. Agnew and
the other Federal oficeholders who con.
stitute the organization, and shows con-
clusyely that a systematic effort was made
by Agnew, Allen and Bowden to pack the
convention. Of course these deputies
were not only working with their knowl-
edge and consent, but under their dlrec'
tions. If it had not been for their depu'
ties and dependents they would not have
had a hundred votes in the convention.
They were made desperate By the sugges'
ton that they would be retired from the
control of the Republican party in Vir-
Vinia. and in their desperation most fla
GRAVITY violated official propriety. Seem
ipgy they have won victory, but such q
victory means their future overthrow. !

RETIRE IN GREAT DISORDER
JAPANESE REPORT OF THE RUS.
SIAN EVACUATION OF.
LIAOYANG.

Toxic, Sept. 3.-The Russians be-
gan to retreat on the right center from
Liaoyang early Thursday They were
thrown into great confusion while at
tempting to cross to the right bank
OF the Taitse river. The Japanese,
pursuing them vigorously, seized a
Russian cannon which they used to
shell the Liaoyang railway station.
Field Marshal Oyama's right at
tackled a heavy force of Russians in
the vicinity Of Heiyingtai, twelve
miles northeast of Liaoyang, at II
o'clock Thursday. His left began at
dawn Friday, pressing the Russians
toward TatZhO. 1t is thought that he
will severely punish the Russians.
The Japanese casualties in the Lao
yang engagement have not yet been
ascertained officially. It is announced
that they will not exceed 10000.
The chief of staff Of the center Jap
anese army, General Nodzu's, tele-
graphing early Friday morning, re-
ported that the Japanese center was
continuing to advance with the object
of taking a line from Shinchiyen to
Liaoyang and effecting rejunction
with the Japanese left, commanded
by General Oku.
1t is reported here that a conflagra-
tlon is raging at LiaOyang.

FIVE PERSONS ARE KILLED
IMPERIAL LIMITED ON THE CANA.
DIAN PACIFIC WRECKED
BY OPEN SWITCH.

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 3.-Five peO,
pie were killed on the Canadian Ia
cific westbound imperial limited at
Sintaluta. Three bodies have been
identified. They are those of Mrs.
Dossett, en- route to Edmonton;
Mrs. Warren of Sand Point and
Agnes M. Shirley of Ottawa The in
jured are Mrs. J. Brett and Miss
Golden, who were on their way to
Manila; Miss Murray, On the way to
Shanghai: Ira Ross, bound to Victoria,
and the porter, L. P. Hart The switch
was left open by a train crew which
had just left the town and the trans
continental express dashed in upon a
freight train. Owing to the fact that
the dead were in their night clothes
and the porter unconscious it has been
impossible to learn the names of the
other victims.
The governor general, Lord Mimic,
and party were on the train, but es
capped uninjured.

DISPATCHES ARE CONFUSING
OFFICIAL REPORTS DO NOT GIVE
A CLEAR IDEA OF THE SIT.
UATION AT LIAOYANG.

London, Sept. 3.-Beyond establish
Ing the fact that Kuropatkin has with
drawn the main portion of his forces
to the north bank of the Taitse river
and that the action is still in progress
the days dispatches do not give
clear idea of the situation at Lao
yang. Accepting st. Petersburg ad-
vices at their face value it would seem
that the Rus sian commander effected a
partial reti. 9ment, placing the river
between himself and the main body
OF the Japanese and at the same time
establishing a position that will en-
able him to oppose the force under
Eeneral Kuroki which succeeded in
crossing the river and is now attack
ing the Russian left The same dis
patches say that the position Kuro-
patkin now occupies is the one he had
prepared and fortified and where he
has all along planned to make his sec
Ond stand instead OF directly in and
around LiaOyang with the river at his
back, as has been believed.
On the other hand Toxic dispatches
say that the Russians were closely
pressed and most disorganized in their
retirement across the river. The re-
port from Marshal Oyama that he was
engaged with the Russian center
would indicate that at least portion
Df kuropatkin's army is still on the
south bank of the river. While it is
not definitely stated that the Japanese
have occupied Liaoyang Toxic reports
that the town is burning. 1t does not
appear that the Japanese main army
has as yet crossed the Taitse and de-
tails of the days fighting are entirely
lacking. Oyama reports that his losses
from Aug. 70 to Sept l were 10000.
The Russian casualties of Aug. 81 and
Sept. J. are given in official reports as
5000 killed and wounded.

Toxic, Sept. 3-The fighting at Liao-
yang was continued until a late hour
and was resumed at dawn. The fate
Of the great bulk of the retreating
Russian army hinges upon the bravery
and fortitude of it's left flank
FefOre falling back General Kuro-
patkin intended that his left to the
eastward and northward of Iiaoyang
should be greatly strengthened in the
hope Of checking General Ku,oki's ad-
vance around his flank and to protect
mis- line OF retreat and communications.
The greatest portion of this protectir g
force seems to have been massed in
the neighbOrhOOd of Heiyingtai, twelve
miles northeast of Liaoyang, where it
was fiercely assaulted by General K;-
-Oki. The result of this fighting is
aot known. If Kuroki wins and strikes

predicament.
The Japanese managed to interfere
seriously with the train service from
LiaOyang. They used some guns

together with some of their own, 10
lombard the railroad station at Lao
yang, thus preventing the entraining
Of Russian troops.
Few details of the pursuit of the
Russian right have been received here.
Ii is evident that the Russians are
moving back slowly, cOntesting the
ground, and shielding their movement
rs far as possible.
Nothing concerning the actual occu-
patton of LiaOyang has been received
here. Official dispatches indicate that
the Russians were still in possession
Of LiaOyang.
The list of casualties in the fighting
before Liaoyang is growing and the
indications are that it will prove to
be the bloodiest battle since the
FTancO-Prussian war.
The calculations of casualties must
include the losses since Aug %, for
the contest has been practically con-
tinuous since then. The Japanese have
already reported over $4,000 men
killed and wounded

FORCE A MEAT FAMINE
STOCK YARDS STRIKERS DECIDE
IT'S THE BEST WEAPON TO
FIGHT PACKERS.
LEADERS AGREE ON WAR TO FINISH
UNION MEN IN ALL PACKING Es-
ADJUSTMENTS ORDERED
TO QUIT WORK.
LEADERS AGREE ON WAR TO FINISH

Chicago, Sept. 3.-"A meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the independents"
In these words President Donnelly
of the butchers organization declared
boycott against all meat and an
nounced that union men will quit in all
backing establishments regardless of
where live stock is secured.
Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
allied trades conference board
The executive boaid of the Retail
Meat Dealers association of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep
resentatives of the strikers.
By ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggres-
sive step the strike leaders demon
fight to a finish.
Donnelly Issues Statement.
The following statement was given
out by President Donnelly:
The conference board, representing
all organizations involved in the pres
ent packinghouse strike, has taken ac-
ton to place all meats upon the unfair
list. This order goes into effect on
Saturday evening, Sept. 8, at $50
p. m. The order will be sent to every
packinghouse in the country and no
member Of the Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmens union will be al
lowed to dress any animal until the
strike is settled. This action is the
result of the request that the public
refuse to eat meat and no person, no
matter in what capacity employed in
handling meat. must refuse to handle

office presumes that the movement
was carried out since the latest ad-
vices were that the crossing of the
. river was not being opposed. The fact,
disclosed for the first time in these
, dispatches Thursday night, that the
strongest Russian position prepared
by General KurOpatllin was not around
the town Of LiaOyang, as the public
had been led to believe, but on the
right Or north bank of the Taitse
river, was a secret so successfully
guarded that not even an intimatiOn
OF it had leaked out. 1t is now eX-
planned that the Russian commander
in-chief had all along anticipated that
the Japanese, when they made their
advance on LiaOyang, would pursue
the identical tactics which had been
SO successful in every previous stage
OF the campaign and, while attacking
In front, would attempt by a wide de-
tour to Outtiank the Russian position.
This time General kurOpatkin was not
caught mapping. He was prepared for
just what happened and as soon as he
received word that General Kuroki
had crossed the Taitse twenty miles
above LlaOyang and was moving west
ward KurOpatNin met the move by
throwing mis- whole army over at night
BY this piece of strategy Kuropatkin
IN the opinion of the general staff,
gained an immense advantage. His
army is concentrated on one side of
the river and the road is still open for
his retirement nOrthward while the
Japanese armies, which must act in
unison, are separated by the river,
which places Kuropatkin in position
to oppose KurOki with his whole army
while Generals Ollu and Nodzu are
stranded on the other side, which
gives Kuropatkin possible opportu
nifty to initiate Napoleon's tactics and
defeat the opposing forces in detail.

Man Who Shot the Queen of Zanzibar
Passes Away.

Washington, Sept. 3.-W. George
Reilly, who while consul to Zanzibar
is said to have shot the queen Of Zan-
zigar with salt and pepper because she
persisted in bathing naked each after
noon in a fOunt in front of the Ameri-
can consulate, died Thursday at a
hospital of heat prostration. He was
a character about Washington, fre-
quenting newspaper row.
Hailing from Virginia, Reilly at

the same after 5:3O p. m. on Saturday.
The packers have resorted to extor-
tion as the result of the strike, buying
live stock on the hOof for almost moth
ing and charging almost any price for
the dressed product. The public will
now be given an opportunity to re-
taliate by refusing to eat meat until
such time as they can procure the
same at fair market price,

CONCENTRATE AT MUkDEN.
kuropatkin Will Probably Carry Out
Original Plan.

Paris, Sept 3.--The foreign Office
has no confirmation of the reports of
the Japanese occupation of Liaoyang.
but its advices lead the officials to say
it is probable that General Kuropatkin
decided to carry out his original plan
to retreat on Mukden. This plan, it
is added, was temporarily abandoned,
as kurOpatIin believed that the de-
lenses of Liaoyang would permit him
to hold back the Japanese. This fail
ing, 1T is stated, the Russian comman-
der will attempt to revert to his first
plan, that of effecting concentration
at Mukden.
The officials here have almost given
up hope of finding Lieutenant de Gu
verville, the French naval attache who
left Port Arthur in a junk with Lieu
tenant Gi1ginheim, the German naval
attache, about the middle of August.
He cabled to the authorities here Aug.
Is that he was about to leave and that
the American naval attache, Lieuten-
ant Newton A. McCully, had succeed
ed in getting out on a junk De Cuver-
vile has not been heard of since start
ing. His family and the officials here
are greatly alarmed. He is a son of
Admiral de Cuverville.
