Fierce Fighting Precedes the Capt
ure of Lao Yang.

Toxic, Sept. 4.-Field Marshal Oyama. tele
graphing at o'clock this morning, says:
After the fighting of last night and this
morning Lao-Yang fell into our hands.
Our casualties are believed to be very heavy.
No report has been received concerning con-
ditons on the right bank Of the Tai-Tse River.
Marquis Oyama in an earlier report. says that
the Russians burned their storehouses near
Liao-Yang on Saturday.
General Kuroki, leaving force at Satzuago to
protect his right flank. had swung sharply west
ward to reach the railway and envelop Lao
Yang. Oyama's left and centre armies we're
still attacking the Russians south and west Of
the walls OF Liao-Yang.
% p. m)-Beyond the field marshaFs dis
patches reporting the occupation of Mao-1ang
and the beginning Of General Kuroki's turning
movement against the Russian left. nothing
further concerning the battle of Liao-Yang has
reached Toxic to-day. Neither the number OF
Russians who succeeded in escaping northward
nor the number encompassed by General ku-
rokrs turning movement IS known here.
The severity of the Russian defeat hinges
largely on Kurokis movement If successful
the number of Russian prisoners will be large
The meagre reports received indicate that the
soldiers OF both armies went to the limit Of hu-
man endurance and suffered terribly. 1t was
impossible constantly to supply them with food
and water. and the men have fought for days
past starving and parched with thirst
Although full details are lacking, the duration
of the lighting the numbers engaged and the
losses so far reported Indicate that Liao-Yang
will prove to be one of the greatest battles OF
history.
The dispatch received from Field Marshal
Ovama announcing the fall of Liao-Yang had
the effect OF cheering all the subjects of the EN-
peror. Through the rejoicings here following
the earlier successes Of japanese arms at Lao
Yang. the more thoughtful people feared the
results OF the exposure to which the right wing
of General Kuroki's army subjected, and it
was held possible that the strength of the Lao
Yang fortifcations would permit the with
drawal of the bulk of the Russian forces Even
now there is doubt concerning the number of
Russians who have escaped. but there is no
doubt about the character of the victory at
Liao-Yang.
Toxic Is brilliantly Illuminated tonight. and
joyful crowds are parading the streets. cheer
tpe. the exploits of Field Marshal Oyama and
Generals Kuroki. Oku and Nodzu.

into her dock. When 1t came to transferring
the gypsies to Ellis Island the doctors sent
forty-eght children who had measles TO the
Kingston Avenue Hospital, in Brooklyn This
arbitrary Kidnapping of the children stirred up
trouble, which was increased when, one after
another, the members of distinctive families
were taken from the detention room and
raigned before the inquiry board.
delegations Of gypsies from New-Jersey, Long
Island and other nearby points hocked TO the
island on Saturday TO meet the detained ones.
Some one started report that all Of those de-
iained Ellis Island were to be sent back to
England, and that all the children who had been
taken away by the doctors had been drowned.
This story spread throughout The gypsy colony

Essay on Hornets.

The following is a little boys essay
on Hornets: "A hornet is the smart
est bng that flies anywhere. He comes
when he pleases and goes when he gets
ready One way hornet shows his
smartness is by attending to his own
business and making everything who
interferes with him, wish that they had
done the same thing.
When a hornet stings a fellow he
knows it and never gets through talk
ing about it as long as his friends will
listen to him. One day a hornet stung
my pa (my pa is a preacher) on the nose
and he did not DO any pastoral visiting
for month without talking about that
hornet.
Another way hornet shows his
smartness is by not procrasticating.
II he has any business with you he
attends to it at once and then leaves
you think 1t over to yourself. He dou't
do like the mosquito, who comes fool
ing around for half an hour singing
COUSIN. cousin" and then, when he
has bed you for all he can, dashes
away yelling "no kin" A hornet never
bleeds You, but if he stings you, you
will go off on a swell.
don't know anything more about
hornets, only that Josh Billings says:
"a hornet is an infamnible thing (Josh
was a poor speller) bnzzer sudden in
his impreshuns and rather .hasty in his
