NUMBER THREE THOUSAND
TIES IN ONE DAYS BATTLE
AT LlAOYANG.

st. Petersburg, Sept. Lieutenant
General Sakharoff, telegraphing to the
general staff on the conclusion of Tues
days sixteen hours of fighting around
Liaoyang, estimates that the Russian
casualties throughout the day were
5000.
The battle ended at o'clock Tues
day night, when many positions occu-
pied by the Japanese were retaken
and again held by the Russians.
The report from Lieutenant General
Sakharoff is as follows:
'F'rOm 5 o'clock a. m. until 9 p. m.
the Japanese forces attacked our front
positions before Liaoyang and on the
left bank of the Taitse river. Both
their artillery and rifle fire were in
tense. Their main efforts were direct
ed against our center positions and
left flank, but numerous attacks were
repulsed along the whole line. Our
troops made several counter attacks,
eliminating in bayonet fighting.
Many positions which had been oc-
cupied by the Japanese were retaken
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. During
the artillery attack our batteries did
very effective work. About 4 p. m.
the enemy were observed attempting
to turn our right flank with considera-
BILE forces, but several battalions of
reserves advanced and, after a fierce
engagement, checked the Japanese and
compelled them to retire. The battle
, continued until dark and only ended
at 9 o'clock.
"Our casualties have been consid-
erable, reaching about 5000, The Ian
anese losses must have been heavy

PROBABLE RESULT OF LATEST
MOVE BY STRIKE LEADERS
AGAINST PACKERS.

MANY MORE MEN WILL QUIT WORK

OUT THE LAND ORDERED
TO JOIN FIGHT.
MANY MORE MEN WILL QUIT WORK

Chicago, Sept. Famine in meat
is declared by the strikers to be the
probable result of their new move in
the strike against thespackers. Orders
have been issued for general strike
of all butcher workers throughout the
country. They are expected to go out
at once The order will affect I'm all
about 1000 men in Chicago and Ten
nessee Independent plants. The order,
if observed, will also affect independ-
ent plants Of large capacity in East
City, Sioux City, New York, Milwau-
kee, Syracuse, Stickney, ILL.,, and hun
dreds of small plants throughout the
country which employ from ten to
twenty men. Altogether union Off
cials assert that $4,000 men will go
out and the meat supply will be seri-
ously crippled, leaving as the only sup
ply the output of the big packers by
their nonunion help.
At 10 a. m. the 600 stock handlers
in the stock yards unsaddled their COW
ponies and, putting them in the barns,
quit work. The men marched out of
the yards and were greeted by cheers
by the union pickets.
The packers say it is Donnelly'S aim
to create a meat famine, which he
thinks will arouse thespublic to such
a pitch of indignation that settle
ment would be forced.
"Donnelly is undertaking the impos-
sible," said a representative of one of
the packers. 'HThere is little chance
of meat famine. The independent
packers who, by their collusion with
unions have profted much during the
strike, will suffer most
Wagon Drivers Will Assist.
President Donnelly is said to be de
pending upon the union drivers for
the success of his attempt to make
meat scarce. What action the $500
grocery and meat market wagon driv
ers will take remains to be seen.
Heretofore they have refused to handle
meat from the strike atsected packers
and their employers were forced to
buy from the Independents.
1t is also said that an attempt will
be made to shut off the ice supply
from every retail market in Chicago.
since all meat products are to be on
the unions unfair" list.
President Donnelly has ordered 1900
butcher workmen employed in the in
dependent hacking nlants to cease

VICTORY FOR KUROPATKIh
RUSSIAN OPINION OF FIRST AT
TACK BY JAP ARMIES ON
LIAOYANG,

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-Success
crowned the Russian arms the first
day of the great battle of Liaoyang
and the utmost confidence prevails
here that the issue of the fight will
be a complete victory for General Ku-
rOpatkin. From dawn until dark Tues
day the battle ragged, first in the cen
ter and left and then on the right of
the Russian line. The Japanese
charged gallantly and desperately in
an effort to break the center, and then
in the afternoon came movement
against the opposite flank. This attack
was delivered from the west, but Gen
erla Kuropatkin had evidently antic-
ipated just what happened, for he not
only met and repulsed it but actually
was able by superior force to overlap
and envelop the Japanese.
No attempt was made by Lieutenant
General Sakharoff in his report to es-
innate the Japanese losses, except to
say that they were extremely heavy,
and the Russian losses were only ap-
proXimated at 5000. No Russian gen
Gral officers fell.
One Of the striking features of the
battle was the splendid work of the
Russian artillery, in which arm the
japanese heretofore have excelled.
One of the Associated Press Russian
correspondents says that report was
current at Liaoyang that forty-six Jap
anese guns were captured during the
day.
There is great rejoicing in ST. Pc
tersburg over the news on the bulletin
boards. The dispatches posted there
are surrounded by eager crowds. The
officials of the war Office are in high
spirits The Japanese, who have been
continuously advancing for a week,
are now said to be utterly exhausted
after Tuesdays hard and unsuccessful
fighting and no doubt exists here that
if the opportunity offers General Ku-
ropatkin will not fail to follow up the
advantage he has achieved
