JAPANESE ARMIES UNITE
kURokl AND okU ATTEMPT TO
CUT RUSSIAN LINE EAST
OF LlAOYANG.

Liaoyang, Aug. 29.-General Kuroki
has joined forces with General Oku
in an attempt to cut the Russian line
east of Liaoyang.
The battle Of Aug 25 ragged along
the eastern front. A strong Japanese
force attacked the Russian positions
at Mao pass, eleven miles east of An
shanshan, and at Sandiatzi and
Tsegow, ten miles northeast of Liam
diansian. Nine batteries of six guns
each bombarded the Russian outposts.
At this point the combat repeatedly
developed into hand-to-hand fighting
The Russians stubborniy held the out
posts the whole day, falling back on
their main position at night. The chief
artillery engagement was in front of
Liandiansian, the Japanese concentrate
ing the fire of ten batteries and stimuli
taneously advancing on Torintspu,
four miles southwest of Liandiansian,
but they were arrested by Cossacks,
who were afterwards reinforced by in
fantry and artillery.
The Japanese resumed the lombard
ment early Aug. 26, deyoting most Of
their attention to Liandiansian. The
Russian tielI guns were very effective
They dismantled thirty-two Japanese
guns, mostly mountain pieces The
casualties have not been ascertained.

General Kuropatkin reports that the
fighting of Aug. 26 was in all parts OF
the theater Of operations, the heaviest
being east and southeast OF Liaoyang,
in the vicinity Of the Ian river ana at
Llandiansian.
The hottest fighting occurred in the
valley Of the Ian, a small tributary Cf
the Taitse; around TsegoW, place be-
tween Anping and Liandiansian Gen
eral knOli'S S first aim apparently was
to separate the two principal Russian
positions. The Russians in the valley
OF the Ian lost l l,45U men.
General kurOl,s almy advanced in
three strong columns; one nOrthWaru
along the valley OF the Sindahia, q
tributary of the Taitse, as TAR as LAO
dintan, whence q portion of this force
marched westward to Mao pass,
threatening Anshanshan, the Other
portion pushing up the stream to Tun.
Sunpu, four miles southwest Of Liam
diansian, where it was
Stopped by kuropatkin's Cossacks.
The second column marched along the
high road and occupied Eruahe,
whence the Japanese batteries shelled
Liandiansian, a couple Of miles north
west, until the fire OF the Russian guns
silenced them. Several Japanese bat
teries were completely dismantled ana
We're abandoned by their gunners.

FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLES.
Americans Shipping contraband Goods
Under Foreign Flags.


Under Foreign Flags.
Washington, Aug. 29-It is an
nounced by the state department that
American firms doing business in the
Far East whose shipments are seized
as contraband of war by Russia or
Japan must fight their own battles for
the return of the goods or their value
without any assistance from this gov.
ernment unless the confiscated cargoes
are transported under the American
tag.
This decision was reached in the
case of the steamship Arabia, a Ger
man ship loaded with American flour
from Oregon for Japan and China,
which was captured by the Vladivostok
squadron. The Portland Milling COM
pany, the owners and shippers of the
flour, was informed that it must con-
duct the appeal to the Russian ad-
miralty court and was advised to en-
ploy Russian attorneys on account of
their familiarity with the law and
procedure.
The milling company was also in
formed that under international law
the burden of proof rests on it and
that it must show that the -four was
not intended for the use of the Japan
ese army or navy. Vigorous protests
against this ruling already are reach
ing the state department from firms
that are shipping goods to the bellig-
erents or near the scene of hOStilities.

FURTHER COMPLICATIONS.
Presidential Electors Intervene in Wis
conSin Eiuht,

.
consin Fight.
Milwaukee, Aug. 29.-Announcemen
was made during the day that Fred G.
Lorenz and Fred w. Cords, two of the
presidential electors nominated by the
La Toilette state convention, will in
teryene in the supreme court contest
instituted by the anti-third termers on
Aug. 9 for the purpose of establishing
which was the regular Republican
state convention. Both conventions
nominated the same presidential cleo
tors. Messrs. Lorenz and Cords will
intervene, submitting answers to the
petition of the anti-third termers pre-
sented to the supreme court. 1t is un-
derstocd that they will ask the right
to be made intervening defendants in
the action, presenting their rights for
places upon the regular Republican
ticket.
The Importance of the move is read
lily seen when it is considered that in
this proceeding the nominees for pres
idential electors will be brought into
the contest before the courts for the
first time, the proceedings thus far
having involved only the state candi-
dates on the La Toilette and Cook
tickets.
The proposition of intervening, the
anti-third termers claim, will mean
nothing more than monstrous mixup
that will be very difficult to disentan-

JAPANESE ATTACK ON PORT AR
THUR WILL NOT BE SUCCESS
FUL FOR SOME TIME.
MAKING SLOW PROGRESS AT PRESENT
DISTANT AND OPERATIONS
ARE SUSPENDED.

ChefoO, Aug. 29.-The latest reports
received from Port Arthur are to the
effect that the japanese in their attack
during the night of Aug. % captured
Poyodo, fort midway between Taku-
shan and the eastern defeAses, and
reduced another fort Immediately east
of the railway. Poyodo mounted only
two small guns when the Russians
were in possession of it. The assault
was preceded by heavy artillery fire
from the Takushan fort, where the
Japanese have big naval guns. The
Russians lost considerably before they
were compelled to retire. The fort
was not occupied by the Japanese, as
it is behind moat which the Japanese
in no instance have been able to cross.
Recent arrivals here, who were in
Port Arthur as late as Aug. "a, believe
that the Russian resistance will prove
successful for some time yet. They
explain that the Japanese are unable
to occupy Etseshan fort. The Japan
ese feinted constantly in attempting
to do SO and in the meanwhile, by tre-
mendoHs labor, raised the summit of a
smaller hill behind it to the level Of
Etseshan hill by means of sand bags
and there they mounted guns which
assisted materially in the reduction
of the fort east of the railway. This
fort is the northernmost of the eastern
defenses and, with other positions re-
duced or occupied, renders the Jap
anese position in the vicinity of the
railway threatening to the Russian
hopes. It is obvious that the Japanese
expect to enter Port Arthur from the
north.
Previous Reports Confirmed.
Confirmation has been obtained Of
the announcement made in these dis
patches Aug. Is to the effect that the
Japanese drove the Russians from
their positions at Louisa bay and Pig
con bay, the Japanese vanguard, num-
bering 500 to 600 men, penetrating
into the fort situated on the highest
hill of the Liaoti mountain, the south
ernmost mountain of the KWaungtung
peninsula, incidentally capturing an
incompleted battery on the west shore
of the Liaoti promontory, and then
retired. The Japanese fleet during the
attack made a demonstration against
the main Liaoti fort.
1t is also confirmed that the Japan
ese silenced a small fort near Golden
hill.
The Japanese line on the west is
approximately, according to the ad-
vices received here, three and half
miles from the European, or new
town, where there has been no con-
fagraticns, although numerous in
dividual fires have occurred there.
When the last arrivals left Port Ar
thur there was little firing.
The strength of the garrison is now
estimated to be $4,000 efficient men.
On Aug % the Russians arrested
four Japanese spies within the fortress
and shot them. No Chinese except out
bound servants are allowed in the
European town, the Russians being
afraid of spies. .
Since. Aug. 81 the Russian ships
have not been firing shells.

STOCK YARDS BUTCH.
ERs WILL SUBMIT PRoPo.
sITloN TO PACKERS.
REcEDE FROM ORIGINAL DEMANDS
DO NOT INSIST ON IMMEDIATE RE-
INSTATEMENT IN THEIR
FORMER POSITIONS.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-President Michael
during the day that it will probably
be of no avail to make proposition
OF any sort to the packers.
II we make proposition" said he,
ut will undoubtedly meet with the
same answer as that which was made
to the aldermanic committee-tthe
strike is already settled There is to
be general meeting shortly at which
the matter will be taken up and until
then | shall be unable to say what will
be done''
The members of the national eXecu-
tive board of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen began
to arrive during the day preparatory
to holding a meeting which was called
by President Donnelly and which it
is generally believed will result in
some step looking towards termina-
tion Of the strike.
In a signed statement issued during
the day President Donnelly says:
Our national executive committee
cOnVeneS here for the purpose of franz
ing another proposition of peace to
the packers. If this is refused we
shall meet the committee of the city
council to demand that thorough in
vestigation be made into the immoral
and unSanitary conditions now exist
ing in the stock yards. We are pre-
pairing evidence to present before the
aldermanic committee to verify our
statements"
The peace proposal to be presented
to the packers was formulated at a
meeting of the allied trades confer
ence board. 1t will be submitted to
the national executive committee and
then be forwarded to the packers di-
rect. While it's details have been
guarded with the utmost secrecy it
is understood that it is a simple propo-
sition to return to work without preju-
dice, as the demand for labor at the
plants warrant, and to leave all ques-
tions OF wages and working condi-
tiOnS to arbitration

The Russian cruiser Diana, which ar

below her water line received in the
naval battle Off Port Arthur Aug 10,
has not received instructions from the
government at st. Petersburg to dis
arm or repair her damages, which are

PEACE TALK PREMATURE.
Gar Would Reject Mediation Even
Should Port Arthur Fall.

Should Port Arthur Fall.
London, Aug. 29.-The Associated
Press learns in connection with the
revival of the rumors of mediation
that Emperor Nicholas only recently
announced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace negO-
tiatiOns even should Port Arthur fall
and General Kuropatkin be driven
back TO Harbin. This fact, we'll un
derstood in official circles, has pre-
vented the British government from
taking any steps in the direction OF
mediation. 1t is known here that Ger
many understands this attitude of the
emperor as well as Great Britain and
other powers. Therefore the reports
from Paris that Emperor William is
prepared to suggest peace is dismissed
as grOundless, for the present at least.
II General Kuropatkin, however,
should win a decisive victory at Lao
yang, which in measure would re-
store Russian prestige, it is believed
here that the restoration of peace
would undoubtedly materially facili-

purpose of allowing the tired men to
