the name of j. N. Rice to several
checks, was arraigned before Judge

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE
RUSSIANS RELIEVED BECAUSE
kUROPATkiN SUCCEEDS IN
GETTING AWAY.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 6.-The feeling
of national grief and disappointment
caused by General Kuropatkin's un-
successful attempt to make a stand at
Liaoyang, deep and bitter as it is, is
somewhat tempered by the develop
ment of the fact that the Russian COM
mander-in-chief had removed the bulk
of his stores northward before the bat
tie, leaving a mere shell at Liaoyang,
and that he succeeded in extricating
his army, especially General Stakel-
berg's corps, from the clutches of the
Japanese.
The accounts of the battle published
in the newspapers here are very incom-
plete. Some of the papers evidently
have not yet awakened to the full
force OF the disaster, but without ex-
ception they try to put brave face
on the situation. There is not the
slightest suggestion of yielding. The
cry of the papers is that the war must
go on until Russia is victorious, II not
this year, then next year.
The war office here believes that the
battle is virtually ended and that Ku-
ropatSin's line of retreat is open.
While admitting that Kuropatkin
sustained severe reverse the war
office considers that the failure of
Field Marshal Oyama to hold and cut
off Kufopatkin is strategic defeat
for Oyama The Russian military au-
thorities figure that Oyama had a
numerical superiority of 10000 men in
the operations against Kuropatkin.
The officials of the war office do not
expect renewal of the fighting for
several days, which they think the
Japanese will employ in recuperating,
while Kuropatkin collects his army
preparatory to pushing the troops
northward. He has double track
railroad and a high road When the
fighting recommences it Is expected
here that it will be i'm the nature OF a
series of rear guard actions, as the
final withdrawal is effected. There
are no facilities at Yentai for defense.
Wonderful Celebrity of Japanese.
According to the military authori-
ties all kuropatkin's hopes and plans
for victory were dashed by the won
derful celerity with which Oyama's S
right pushed northward after crossing
the Taitse river. Here Kuropatkin' S
/ information evidently was faulty in
believing that he had before him the
whole of the Japanese forces which
had crossed over to the right bank
He had already completed a prelim

FEWER MEN ON STRIKE.
Labor Conditions in New York Com
pared With Year Ago.

New York, Sept. 6.-Labor day,
1904, presents many interesting facts
and conditions both to employers and
employees in New York city as com
pared with the same period a year
ago, says the Herald. Within the
five months between April l and Sept.
1, this year, losses in wages to work
ingmen in New York city from strikes
and lockouts have been more than one
third less than during the same
months last year and losses to en-
ployers have been correspOndingly
smaller.
In all of the 1904 strikes. except
possibly in the building trades, the
outcome has marked a decided step
towards the open shop" and in sew
eral instances the employers have
achieved decided victory, the strik-
ing union men having returned to
work side by side with nonunion en-
ployes. This was especially noted in
the strikes of the marine machinists,
the tailors and the butchers.
In the building trades at the pres
ent time there are only about 0,000
men in enforced idleness.
There are 10000 union workmen,
skilled and unskilled, in the metro
politan district. At no time during the
season has the army of idle exceeded

A dearth of official advices from
either Toxic or St. Petersburg and an
absence of press reports of current
date from the battlefield renders the
situation of Kuropatkin's retreating
army somewhat obscure. St Peters
burg reports .unoficially that the Rus
sian army is still falling back, with
some rear guard lighting. An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Yentai, a
place about ten miles northeast >of
Iiaoyang, makes the significant state
ment that desultory lighting occurred
around Mukden on Saturday last.
st. Petersburg sends an unconfrmed
report that General Kuropatkin was
compelled to abandon 200 guns at
Liaoyang, but adds that all OF them
were first rendered useless. An Asso-
ciated Press correspondent sends a
private dispatch that the censor's
office has been removed from Mukden
to Harbin, which would account for the
delay in press dispatches.

FIGHT DAY AND NIGHT.
Japs Pounding Away at the Defenses
of Port Arthur.

OF Port Arthur.
Chefoo, Sept. 6.-The second general
assault on Port Arthur assumed
crushing proportions Aug. 27 and con-
tinued unabated until the morning OF
Aug. 81, when the Japanese retired
everywhere except from Palichuang,
which they have apparently firmly Sc
cured. This information comes from
Chinese messenger sent to Port Ar
thur by the Associated Press, and it
confirms previous fragmentary ad-
vices. The messenger adds that ltz-
shan was reattacked Aug. 30 with
great fury, but the Japanese were un-
able to secure position. Another
Chinese who departed from Port Ar
thur Sept. 2 says that fierce assault
was made on the left flank at 3 O'Clock
that morning. The assault lasted until
a. m, when the Japanese retired.
The bombardment then recommended,
the Japanese fired chiefly from Sui
chlying and Palichuang, the Russians
from AntZshan.
The Japanese losses, according to
the Russian estimate, Were 5000 dur-
ing the four days from Aug. 27 TO Aug.
81. The Russian losses are placed at
5000. During the assault shells from
the field guns and fife bullets fell in
the city. The battleships in the har-
bor also participated in the firing.

great rapidly westward To cut the
railroad and close the door on the Rus
sian retreat to Mukden. just at this
point there is a break in the reports.
Whether kuropatkin actually attempt
ed to deliver a blow against Kuroki is
not clear. At all events if he did he
was compelled TO desist upon the dis
covery of the northerly japanese col
umn The latter took him by sur
prise.
General Orloff's division, which suf-
fered so severely, had just arrived
from European Russia. Although this
divisioA was thrown into confusion
and lost frightful number of men
the temporary check ii was able TO
give the japanese probably saved the
railroad for Kuropatkin.
In the meantime Kuroki, freed from
Kuropatkin, marched hastily west
ward to intercept General Stakelberg,
who was crossing the river from the
left bank II was then that Kuropat-
kin thought Stakelberg's corps was
lost and so reported to the war Office.
But Kuroki was too late. Stakelberg
not only succeeded in getting his corps
across but marched at high speed thir-
ty miles TO Tentai, actually arriving in
time to come TO the support of the
hard pressed Orion.
The war Office processes ignorance
of the losses of guns and men sus-
tanned by the Russians, but there is no
doubt that many thousands have
