were Redeemed by the blood of the con-
tending troops. The Russian casual
ties were especially horrible in their
number.
A brigade of Russian infantry, with
1000 cavalry and two guns, marching
to strike Gen. Kuroki's flank, crossed
the Taitse river. The japanese cut off
the retreat of this force and tried to
annihilate it. The Russians attacked
Sienchuang, thirty miles northeast of
Saimatze and almost due north of
Fengwangcheng, evidently with the
object of cutting off japanese COM
munications with the Yalu river. Gen.
Danieloff, who succeeded Gems. Trous-
self and Romanoff in command of the
Sixth Siberian rifles division, was
wounded in the leg. With blood soak
ing his uniform, he continued to lead
his troops until exhausted.
The battle commenced along the line
of the railway with terrific artillery
fire on both sides. The railway line
almost to Yentai was in possession of
the Russians. The station itself was
damaged beyond recognition. The
sound of cannonading was audible for
forty miles.
The fighting commenced early in the
morning. A bombardment Of five
hours duration forced back the Jap.

center were stubbornly defended and
the battle increased In intensity, con-
centrating about the Yentai coal mines.
where firing continued until darkness
fell. AS net result of the days events
the Russians drove in the Japanese
left, while the right clung to its posi-
ton, but maintained itself only with
difficulty.
From Port Arthur General Stoessel

ter-attacks, even though successful,
must result in a heavier loss to them
than to the enemy. And whenever the
Japanese can exchange man for man
at Port Arthur they gain the advan-
tage, since they can bring up new
troops almost indefinitely, while the
Russians cannot re-enfOrce at all.
The Baltic squadron has not sailed,
though Its imminent departure is again
announced. The restraining fear is
that Port Arthur might fall before the
advent Of the feet, which would then
be in danger Of annihilation. 1t is now
evident that If the fleet had left early

Kuropatkin's advance south from
Mukden against the Japanese army
was seriously contested six miles north
Of Yentai station, where a bloody bat
tie ragged. The japanese on Sunday
fell back along the entire front, and
the Russian advance guard crossed the
Schiii river, half way between Muk
den and Liaoyang, which is shown in
the map. Re-enforcements enabled the
Japanese to push back the Russians on
Monday, and the latter renewed the
combat the next day, the result being
in doubt. In the meantime It is said
the east and west fanking movements
by the Japanese continued. The tri.
angle bounded by Yentai, Liaoyang
and Sikwantun, which Is well forti
fed, is believed to be the position Field
Marshal Oyama had chosen for de.
cisive battle.
After driving back the left japanese
flank and assailing the right flank OF
Marshal Oyama's army, the Russians

The opinion that the leaders of labor
organizations can and do order strikes
in an arbitrary fashion is prevalent,
says the Chautauquan. This, however,
is not the case with the railway or

Quoted by the American Railway
Union, many members Of the other
railway orders were concerned in it.
The result Of this affair is thus sum-
married. by Mr.. Carter Of the firemen:
'It cost many thousands Of railway
men their positions, it brought SORROW
to many homes, but it did something
else-it put stop to the wage reduc-
tions that had become so popular, it
served notice on railway corporations
that when conservative labor organiza-
tons could or would not fight, radical
organizations would, it convinced
stockholders that they had permitted
their greed to go too far"
The steps which are now taken for
the adjustment Of grievances are much
the same in the different organizations
and an outline of the method pursued
by one will suffice for all. The aggrisv-
ed member is required to make a writ

division to which he belongs. If ap-
proved by a two-thirds vote of the di-
TisiOn it Is referred to the local COM
aittee, composed Of employees of that
section Of the road, who investigate
and endeavor to come to an under
standing with the local officials.
The result Of these negotiations Is re-
ported back to the division. If un-
successful, and if the division deems
the case meritorious, it is turned over
to the general committee for that sys-
tenn. This committee is made up Of

Ger together with the ge1~ral commit
tee cannot arrive at settlement with
the railway management then the ad-
visibility of strike may be consid-
cred. A complete statement Of the sit

Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
