A MINE BLOWS UP.
A Japanese Column Was Utterly
 Destroyed.

Che Foo, Sept. S.-A Japanese col umn numbering approximately 700 men while marching along at night on the road in the valley between Long Hill and Division Hill, met with a fright ful disaster through the explosion of an electric land mine, on September l.. The mine was carefully laid by the Russians three weeks ago. It covered nearly a mile of the available march, ing space. The explosive was placed at the bottom. Rocks were placed next and out on top of these clay was pack ed so that he ground gave the impress sion of not having been disturbed.
 Indications of Japanese activity in this vicinity put the Russians on guard. Near midnight the Outposts rushed in and reported that the Japanese were approaching. The Russians withheli their fire for some time. Suddenly tlry threw a searchlight up the valley. The Japanese opened with a rifle fire. The Russians continued to wait until ap- parently the whole Japanese coIu:an was in the danger zone. Then the mine was exploded.
 The force of the explosion knocked a number of Russians down and the sight of the Japanese rifles, bodies, legs and arms hurling through the lighted space made by the searchlight was an awful spectacle. Some rocks landed inside the Russian lines. There was one ap Q palling moment during which the gar rison itself was stunned, then there was death-like silence.
 The searchlight coldly lighted up the road and hillside strewn with dead. The following day the Russians buri ed the dead but owing to their dismem- bered and mutilated condition the Russians were unable accurately to es- timatc the number that were killed. A few Japanese escaped, however.
 The foregoing information is con- tained in a small sheet issued Septem- ber by the Port Arthur Novakrai I breakagc in the press having made it impossible to issue a full edition.
 A Chinese arriving here at midnight night confirms to a great extent, say ing that hc heard a report that many Japanese had been killed by a mine but he did not learn the details. On the nights of August 26 and 27 a similar disaster befen the Japanese near re- doubt No. it is reported, but no de- tails have been ascertained.

IT WILL BE LONG DRAwN.
Tks English Believe Success Will Come to Those Who Can Stand
 Longest.

London. Sept. S.-What is termed as ''Japan's impenetrable silence" reduces English comment on events at the seat Of war to minimum. As the dis patches to the Associated Press from st. Petersburg have continually Po.nt- cd out. every initiative now lies with the Japanese. In view of the contin- ued silence from a quarter which alone can throw light on the tense situation, English critics satisfy themselves by forecasting an impending great battle at Mukden CT in it's vicinity. They have practically given up, however, the Illusion current, prior to and during the first stages of the Lao Yang con- test, that in any degree a finality is likely 10 be attached to the engage meut.
 The fanatical disregard for death displayed on both sides and the abil- ity to keep an army in being, either from an offensive or defensive point Of view, under conditions considered he:e Co be prohit,tivc. has done more 70 convince the English press Of the des- pcrate character Of the struggle being waccd iu the far cast than ali the dis patches that have cma-1ted from To- kio or St. Petersburg. declaring that neither the Japanese nor the Russians will ever give in.
 In place or endeavoring 10 follow the minute progress Of the campaign, this morning newspapers somewhat hope lessly devote editorials tn preparing the English public to be witnesses that the wsr will be longer drawn out and more terrible in every respect than any with iu recent centuries.

ed behind the hills, was often under severe fire, especially when the Rus sians discerned the regiments advanc- ing from one position to another. There was some infantry fighting on the hills bordering the plain. Bodies of Russian troops could be seen marching about Liao Yang with an appearance of great activity, and one Russian column com posed of several regiments of savalry, moved out to the left of the Russian rear as though to protect the retreat of the main body. Trains could be seen steaming out of Liao Yang to the northward every hour during the day.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. S.-The latest word from the front comes from the Associated Press Russian correspond- ent, dated September '. It seems to in dicate that Kuropatkin's course is con- tingent on the ability of Oyama to sur- round his army at Mukden. If the re- treat continues northward it will be of supreme importance for Kuropatkin to hold Tie Ling pass, forty miles to the north. In the event of his defeat there he will be obliged to retreat westward into Mongolia. It is intimated that troops from Harbin have taken posses sion of the pass.
 The latest information is that Kur- opatkin is continuing his retreat north ward. The war office reports a loss of 17,000 in the battle of Liao Yang. Kur- opatkin has not lost a gun during his retreat The rear guard is now twenty miles north of Dental.

MORE SUBWAY TROUBLE.
Contractors Won't Promise to Use
Only Union Hen.

An unexpected hitch has arisen in the settlement
of the subway trouble. which nearly resulted in
general tie-up last week. The present difficulty
arose from the failure of the machinists and the
Alis-Chalmers Company TO come to terms yester-
day.
When the settlement reached Friday and
the strike order called off. il agreed that
the machinists, who accuse the Allis-Chalmers
Company Of employing nOn-union at the Fifty
ninth-st power house. should settle their trouble
with the employers at conference called for yes
terday morning between representatives of the
machinists and the company. The meeting took
place yesterday at No. Il Broadway. the machinists
being represented by James Wilson and L, \. Belh.
business agents The riggers. who also have
grievance against the firm, represented by P
Burke. business agent.
No basis of agreement could be reached The
labor men declared that the company. whose head
quarters in Chicago. Disseminated against
union men, This the representatives of the firm
denied. but they would give pledge to employ
only union men or discharge the non-union work
ers. No settlement was. therefore possible and
to use the last efforts to stave of strike
machinists. John B. Mcdonald will be asked to use
his influence with the firm.
