1t seems to hurt the feelings of Law

The article is sort of a denial that
Jimmy Green, dean of theK. U. law
school, tried to proselyte Washburn
football players and induce them to
leave Washburn and go to K. U. 1t is
to be observed, however, that Mr..

CRUSHING DEFEAT
For One Side or the Other Is Looked
for by Russians.

st. Petersburg, Sept. IL a. NJ
With the knowledge that the Russian
and japanese armies about Lao Yang
are locked in a death struggle the ten
sion in st. Petersburg is strained to
the utmost. 1t is believed here that
the fight cannot stop short of the
crushing defeat of one side or the
other.
All reports so far are favorable to
the Russians, though the suspension
of all news for many hours has been
exceedingly trying and has given rise
to several rumors somewhat temper

the railway and telegraph have been

member of the general staff said to

midnight:
81 can assure you that up to this
hour communication with Lao Yang
has been uninterrupted. General
KurOpatkin has taken particular pre-
caution against any attempt to cut the
railway. While it is possible a small
raiding party might slip through the
Russian patrols or that hired Chinese
bandits might cut the telegraph, it is a
fair superstition. in view of all the
facts. that this has not been done"

that the most critical stage of the bat

RUSSIANS ARE ANXIOUS.
Are Prepared for Report of Kuro-
DatIxin'S Defeat.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1, 1897 p. m.
Gen. Kuropatkin has had
the best of the first two days battle
at Lao Yang, the suspense here is
intense over the final issue of the
Titanic struggle. In view of the num-
Der of men and guns engaged the car
mage doubtless will be great on both
sides. The figures now are that half
million with about 1000 guns fighting
for the mastery. The crisis is ex-
pected today. The public is so hungry
for news from official sources that the
failure to give out advices last night
is interpreted omniously in some
circles but is eXplainable by the the
DRY that Gen. Kuropatlxin is too busy
in the midst of the gigantic battle
to prepare reports for publication his
reports to the emperor containing
strategic information which can not
be published. The meagre advices re-
ceived make it plain that the Japanese
are trying to turn both the tanks of
Gen. Kuropatkin'S position and sur
round the Russian army at Lao Yang
as Marshal Bazain was shut up in
Metz after the battle of Gravelotte,
August IS, 1870, but up to last night,
according to unofficial advices, their
plan had failed and they seemed
worsted at all points. Should the
Japanese ammunition give out sud
denly their position might become des-
perate.
the desperate character of the Japa-
nese fighting qualities, and the fact
that the battle is not yet decided,
while expressing much qualification at
the result of Tuesdays fight, INDUCED
in no premature jubilation. Most of
the newspapers express the opinion
that Field Marshal Oyama, whom they
believe to be in supreme command,
was driven to attack Gen. Kuropatkin
by disappointment over the failure of
the operations against Port Arthur.
All the papers point out that the de-
cisive moment, to which all of Kuro-
patkin's we'll thought out plans con-
verged, has arrived, saying that he
has at last drawn down the Japanese
into the plain before Lao Yang where
positions have been in preparation for
under the direction of the
Russian engineer, Gen. Velietohko.
The works around the city, the Russ
says, are marvels of engineering skill
with galleries for the protection of the
gunners, connected by telephone and
defended by wire entanglements and
mines. Into these works, however,
Gen. Kuropatkin will not go except
as a last resort. He is now protecting
himself in his outlying positions.

sides are straining every nerve real
izing that the fortunes of war for a
whole year are in the scale and neith-
er side is in the mood or the position
to spare men in the effort to achieve a
final victory.
The battle of Lao Yang will prob
ably rank as one of the great san
culinary battles of history. 1t is esti-
mated by the general staff that the
Japanese armies engaged number II
divisions of 1900 men each, or. al
lowing for inefficients. about $4,000
men. Each division has SO guns, and
there are two independent artillery
brigades of 100 guns each, making a
total of about 500 guns. The esti-
mates of Russian correspondents
range from 500 to 1000 guns per
side.
In the preliminary fighting of Mon
day the Russians captured 200 prison
erS, who have already arrived at Har-
bin, and report persists that they cap
tured over 40 Japanese guns yesterday.
General Kuropatkin's effective forces
are variouSly estimated at from 10000
to 200, 900 men.
The Japanese on wednesday morning
attacked three sides of the Russian
position One of the Associated Press
correspondents also mentions Jap
anese movement to the northeast of
Lao Yang. showing that the Japanese
were undoubtedly trying to work
around Kuropatkin's rear.
One of the surprising phases of the
situation is the endurance of the men.
They have been engaged desperately
for two days after more or less severe
fighting under unfavorable conditions
every day since August "a. 1t would
seem that human endurance could not
persist much longer without respite of
some sort.
The Japanese are using balloons to To-
cate the Russian guns and trenches.
One of the Russian correspondents of
the Associated Press reports that the
Japanese sent up balloon shortly after
daylight to the southeast of Lao Yang.
The Japanese are reported to be using
mortars to drop shells in the Russian
positions. These probably are the high
angle howitzers which were reported
in action earlier in the week.
1t is plain, however, that the Jap
anese are no longer enjoying the su-
periority in artillery which stood them
In such good stead in the earlier
months of the war. 1t was then hill
lighting and the japanese used noun
tain batteries in which arm the Rus
slams were deficient. Now the contest
is on comparatively open country where
both the Russian field gun and the
Russian cavalry can come into more
effective use.

SOME WAY TO STOP WAR.
Senator CulIom Calls Attention to the
Necessity of 1t.

Freeport, Ill, Sept. SENATOR
Shelby Cullom who delivered the
principal address at the reunion of old
settlers of Stephenson county, argued
that there should be some recognized
means of interference to end the war
between Russia and Japan.
Under present conditions, he de-
clared, if this nation or any other
should interfere in the interest of
peace it would itself become involved
in the struggle and would accomplish
nothing.
Senator Cullom is chairman of the
senate committee on foreign relations.

CURED at Port Arthur August 81,
when the Japanese moving from
Shuyshiying attempted to capture Pa
lungshan which is south of Shuyshiy-
ing and west of the railroad. The
japanese made two assaults between
and 8 o'clock in the morning. They
were repulsed both times. A prisoner,
subsequently taken, places their loss
at 1,045 killed and wounded. For one
hour after shells were thrown from
ShuYshiying into Port Arthur.
The above information was brought
here by a Chinese. who confirms pre-
vious reports that the Russians had
reoccupied Itzshan where there has
been little fighting recently. At 4:30
a. m. August 2S, the Japanese at
tackled fort No. 6. on the northeast
portion of the right flank. This fort
is a new and strong one. After three
hours fierce fighting, during which
the Japanese endured cross fire from
fort No. 2, the Japanese succeeded in
entering the fort. When the Russians
were safely away from fort No. 6, and
the Japanese flag waved safely over
it several forts concentrated their fire
on it and the Japanese were compelled
to retire.
