stalking horse to make sure OF Ankenys cleo
tion. For time Charley Sweeney was a can
didate for the position, but, it is claimed on
good authority, that he is to be Ankeny's can
didate for United States senator to succeed
Addison g. Foster, and was induced to keep
out of the race. This left the fight between
McMillon and Ankeny, with the result that
Ankeny bested McNillon, which is already caus-
ing all kinds of trouble between the Ankeny-
McMillon political factions in the Republican
ranks of this state, which may go to the polls
in November for final arbitration. McMillon
has not returned from the East as yet, but when
he does he declares that all the facts leading up
to his defeat will be given to the public through
the press, and, if it is, some spicy reading mat
ter from political standpoint is promised.
Hon. George w. Dilling who was in Chi
cago at the time and who, after war of words
finally participated in the proceedings of the
convention as one of the delegates from this
state, relates the story almost disinterested

Fighting FierCely.

Headquarters of Japanese army in
Manchuria, with General kuroki, via
Seoul, Aug. 3.-This army began a
general attack on General Kuropat-
kin's forces at daybreak today, which
lasted until sunset. The Japanese GEN.
ter took Taowan, captured the enemy s
northeastern position. The Japanese
left flank advanced and captured q
second position, thus jeopardizing the
Russani right flank. The Japanese car.
ried this position against superior num-
bers of Russians. There was tremen-
dous artillery fire throughout the day
and the infantry finished with a brill
liant march under the enemy's sharp
mel. 1t is believed the Russian posi-
ton will be rendered untenable soon.

The robbers secured all the money and

hind. Two of the passengers who were
slow in responding to the command OF
the robbers were hit on their heads
with Ratchet and one was seriously
injured.
No attempt was made to rob the
mail or express cars.
The robbers secured more than TlOOO

notified the Illinois Central detectives
in Chicago. The latter notified the

LABOR PROBLEMS At CAPITAL.
President and Cabinet Members Hold
Conference.

SoutCECtSSs
Washington.-Labor conditions gen.
orally throughout the country were the
subject of a recent conference which
the president held at the White House
with Attorney General Moody, Secre-
tary Metcalf of the department OF
commerce and labor, and Commission
er of Labor Carroll d. Wright. Several
matters which have been appealed to
the president were considered and ac-
ton upon them will lie announced Ia
ter.
The conference was of considerable
importance to the administration and
to labor generally. The president au-
thoriZed the announcement that the
Chicago strike was not discussed at
the conference. Regarding the strik-
ers in various parts of the country the
president and his advisers agreed that
at no point had any of these passed
beyond the scope of local treatment,
nor was the administration called up
on at this time to take action.
AS for the pending meat strike. al
though it was not specifically discuss
ed at the conference, it can be stated
that the administration does not con-
slider that a national emergency has
been precipitated, as was the case in
the coal strike. Until such an emer-
gency has been created there will be
no official consideration of it by the
administration.

General Kuroki's northern column
makes it extremely dangerous to re-.

whose advance is necessarily ALWAYS
slow and careful, might push throuen

Liaoyang.
While nothing is definitely known.
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are maturing rapidly
either for a battle or for retreat.
For instance, the refusal to accept fur.
Their press kilograms at Haicheng is
shown by the fact that one of Tie cor.
respondents of the Associated Press
had to ride through to Mukden to file
an account of the Tatchekiao fight.
This might be construed either that
preparations are making for a retire.
ment, or that the wires are very
crowded, incident to concentration
at Haicheng or Liaoyang.
A few days are expected to deter.
mine which course General Kuropat-
kin has elected to pursue.
Some Hopes for Port Arthur.
There is no inclination here to
doubt that there may have been pretty
severe fighting at the outer positions
of Port Arthur, possibly accompanied
by a bombardment from the sea, but it
is not believed that the Japanese are
yet ready to storm the fortress. Rear
ADMIRAL Withoeft, in command Of the
naval forces at Port Arthur, is relied
upon to put to sea IL the condition Of
the fortress becomes desperate. While
no definite information is outainable,
the report that the fortress is short Of
ammunition is considered by the pub
lie as the most disquieting feature Of
the situation.

to the effect that General Kuropatkin's
main force had been rapidly moving
north for several days. According to
this report no troops proceeding to the
front from Russia had gone past Har-
bin in the past three days. They will
be detained there and every available
piece of rolling stock will be rushed
south empty for the remvoing of troops
at Liaoyang and other points to the
northward, leaving a skeleton force to
contest the Japanese advance on vital
positions,

two divisions Of infantry and some ar

assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn on
Sunday July 30. AT Yushulizku the
Japanese carried the Russian right and

strength of the main Russian POSITION
they were unable then to press the at

EMPIRE NEAR A CRISIS.
Russia in Bad Way-Anarchy Within
Its Government.

Its Government.
Although the campaign in the orient
is developing it's most important phas.
es, the attention of Europe is concen-
trated on Russia, and the public con-
viction grows that the Muscovite en-
pire is near the greatest crisis in its
history. The assassination of Won
Plehve was comparatively unimportant
in that crisis. He was, it is true, the
strongest individual force in the coun-
try's government, but his strength
could not compensate for the weakness
of the supreme head of Russian des-
potism.
1t is known that the cars attempt
to combine great ducal reactionaries
with the conservative element among
his administrators has resulted in vir-
tual anarchy within the government it.

Hope Against Birth Of Son.
Everybody but the czar is hoping
against the birth of son. They dread
the dangers to the state that would
arise from sovereign called to reigh
during his minority. The car is now
SO years old. 1t would be liberal es-
innate to give his reign still 20 years.
His inadequate physical condition and
the nerve destroying strain, aside from
the danger of assassination, reduces
his life to very moderate insurance
value. Should there be no son, and the
present czarowich, who Is not married,
not reach the throne, the succession
would go to the family of Grand Duke
Vladimir, the cars uncle, who is UNI
fit to rule because of violent self in
diligence and lack of consideration for
all who come in contact with him.
Vladmir's elder son, Cyril, will prop
ably renounce his place in the line OF
succession in order that he may marry
his cousin. the divorced wife of the
grand duke of Hesse. His next broth
err, Boris, would probably be removed
from the list by the council of state
should he become heir apparent on the
grounds of dissolute imbecility.
There remains third son, Andre,
who is personally more acceptable, al
though he suffers to some extent
the general dislike of his faith
er and brother. He is liked by the
army, and is vigorous young man
and a capable officer.
The accouchment of the czarine is
daily expected.
Won PIehve Foresaw His Fate.
Berlin.-The st. Petersburg CORE
spondent of the Tageblatt claims to
have talked with Won Plehve a few
days before his death. During the

the numbering of General Bobrikoff,
governor general of Finland said:
although my police are well &C.
quainted with all the revolutionary ele-
ments and | am well protected, will

day, for nobody is safe from unforeseen
able contingencies"
The correspondent says that the mo-
ment of the explosion he was sitting
with Minister Won Plehve's secretary
in the Baltic station. awaiting the ar
rival there of the minister. The sec
rotary sprang up and cried: They
