DESP0NDENT RUSSIANS.
Correspondent Says the Soldiers

Still Have Hopes.
Mukden. Sept. "a Russian cor
respondent of The Associated Press
supplies the following:
Our retreat is being carried out
under heavy pressure and with the
Japanese on our heels. The task is
additionally difficult owing to the ter
rible condition of the roads and the
rivers, which are flooded.
The fighting has now been almost
continuous since. Aug. "a and how
much longer it will last it is impos-
sible to say, as the initiative is in
the hands of the Japanese.
THE number of lives sacrificed, and
the loss of supplies by burning,
bridges being blown up, ETC., can on
ly be explained when we once more
have concentrated, and this will oc-
cupy us for some days.
DO not be under any misapprehen-
sion; we will live through these heavy
days, and still more alarming nights;
for despite recent failures we have
steadfast faith in the future and the
spirit of the troops is unimpaired.

Not Yet Known What the Unions
VIII Decide Upon.
Chicago, Sept. 6.-Whether the stock
yards strike is to be called off or con-
tinued indefinitely will not be known
until tomorrow morning, when the re-
suit of the referendum vote on the
proposition, begun to-day by the unions
involved in the difficulty. will be made
public by President Donnelly of the
Butchers Union.
The greatest secrecy is being main
tanned by the officers of the different
unions as to the outcome of the vote,
which is being taken by secret ballot.
No official statement regarding the
probable result of the ballot could be
obtained tonight and the reports of
those who made a canvass of the sit
uation conf1icted. 1t was claimed, by
several of the striking butcher work.
men that their union had voted to re-
ject the proposition offered by the AL
lied Trades Conference Board. To
offset these reports, many of the butch
ers declared that their organization
had voted to return to work on the
terms offered by the employers.
Cass Schmidt, vice president of the
Butchers Union, said the proposition
on which the men are voting provides
for the calling off of the strike the
skilled men to receive the former scale
of wages, the men to be re-employed
as soon as possible, and the office of
steward to be abolished by the union.
