man, recognized as such by the pres
ident of the United States. It is your
privilege to honor and bless your
state by making this distinguished
citizen your governor.
Senator Turner has genius for
craftsmanship He loves the science
of government as other professional
men love their calling.
No one finds fault with physicians
for accepting patients, or with law
yers for accepting clients.
Why, then, denounce a statesman
for submitting his services to his coun-
try?
That state which has a really great
man willing to forego the attractions
of business, willing to place public
duty above private gain, willing to
battle for the people against those
who would rob them that state pos
sesses in such a man priceless Jewel.
We sometimes fail to discover our
real benefactors. Having discovered
them. we do not always appreciate
them.
Your state possesses magnificent
school fund, derived from the sale of
state school lands.
Oregon possesses an area of some
thousand square miles more than
Washington. Therefore our state had
much more school land to sell than
yours, perhaps equal in quality to
yours and yet our fund is only about
$6.000,008, while yours is said to be
$40, 100000.
How can this be? The whole secret
lies wrapped up in the fact that you
had statesman in your constitutional
convention. A man with a. long head
and an honest heart. This man was
and is Judge Turner. He looked
ahead into the future. He saw the
multitudes leaving the crowded east.
He knew that your soil and climate
would attract them here. He fore
saw the inevitable rise in land.
Here was an opportunity such as
seldom presents itself to man. Should

RETIRE IN GREAT DISORDER
JAPANESE REPORT OF THE RUS.
SIAN EVACUATION OF
LiACYANG.

Toxic, Sept 3.-The Russians be-
gan to retreat on the right center from
Liaoyang early Thursday. They were
thrown into great confusion while at
tempting to cross to the right bank
of the Taitse river. The Japanese,
pursuing them vigorously, seized a
Russian cannon which they used to
shell the Liaoyang railway station.
Field Marshal Oyama's right at
tackled heavy force of Russians in
the vicinity of Heiyingtai, twelve
miles northeast of Liaoyang, at IL
o'clock Thursday. His left began at
dawn Friday, pressing the Russians
toward Tatzho. II is thought that he
will severely punish the Russians.
The japanese casualties in the Lao
yang engagement have not yet been
ascertained officially. 1t is announced
that they will not exceed 10000.
The chief of staff of the center Jap
anese army, General Nodzu's, tele-
graphing early Friday morning, re-
ported that the Japanese center was
continuing to advance with the object
of taking a line from Shinchiyen to
Liaoyang and effecting a rejunction
with the Japanese left, commanded
by General Oku.
1t is reported here that a conflagra-
ton is,raging at Liaoyang.

GREAT PIECE OF STRATEGY.
Russian View of kuropatkin's Retire
n1ent From Liaoyanu.

st. Petersburg, Sept 3.-No abso-
Lutte information has reached the war
Office confirming the reports that Lao.
yang has been occupied by the jap
anese, but it Is positively known that
General Kuropatkin decided to with
draw from his positions south of Lao
yang to the north or right bank of the
Taitse river Tuesday night and the
orders were actually given. The war
Office presumes that the movement
was carried out since the latest ad-
vices were that the crossing OF the
river was not being opposed. The fact,
disclosed for the first time In these
dispatches Thursday night, that the
strongest Russian position prepared
by General Kuropatkin was not around
the town of Liaoyang, as the public
had been sed to believe, but on the
right or north bank of the Taitse
river, was a secret SO successfully
guarded that not even an intimation
of 1t had leaked out. 1t is now ex-
planned that the Russian commander
in-ehief had all along anticipated that
the Japanese, when they made their
advance on Liaoyang, would pursue
the identical tactics which had been
so successful in every previous stage
of the campaign and, while attacking
In front, would attempt by wide de-
tour to outfank the Russian position.
This time General Kuropatkin was not
caught mapping. He was prepared for
just what happened and as soon as he
received word that General Kuroki
had crossed the Taitse twenty miles
above Liaoyang and was moving west.
ward Kuropatkin met the move by
throwing his whole army over at night.
BY this piece of strategy Kuropatkin,
in the opinion of the general staff,
gained an immense advantage. His
army is concentrated on one side of
the river and the road is still open for
his retirement northward, while the
Japanese armies, which must act in
unison, are separated by the river,
which places Kuropatkin in a position
to oppose KuroM with his whole army
while Generals Oku and Nodzu are
stranded ON the other side, which
gives Kuropatkin a possible opportu-
nifty to initiate Napoleon's tactics and
defeat the opposing forces in detail.

FATE OF THE BULK OF HIS ARMY
DEPENDS ON ABILITY TO
WARD OFF kuRoKi.
BL00DlEST BATTLE IN FORTY YEARS
JAPANESE LOSSES SINCE AUG. 23
AGGREGATE OVER TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND.

Toxic. Sept. 3.-The fighting at Lao
yang was continued until late hour
and was resumed at dawn. The fate
of the great bulk of the retreating
Russian army hinges upon the bravery
and fortitude of its left flank.
Before falling back General Kuro-
patkin intended that his left to the
eastward and northward of Liaoyang
should be greatly strengthened in the
hope of checking General Kuroki's ad-
vance around his flank and to protect
his line of retreat and communication.
The greatest portion of this protecting
force seems to have been massed in
the neighborhood of Heiyingtai, twelve
miles northeast of Liaoyang, where it
was fercely assaulted by General Ku
roki The result of this fighting is
not known If Kuroki wins and strikes
the fanks of the retreating Russian
army and reaches the railroad it will
place the Russians in a most serious
predicament.
The Japanese managed to interfere
seriously with the train service from
Liaoyang. They used some guns
Captured From the Russians,
together with some of their own, to
lombard the railroad station at Lao
yang. thus preventing the entraining
OF Russian troops.
Few details of the pursuit of the
Russian right have been received here,
1t is evident that the Russians are
moving back slowly, contesting the
ground, and shielding their movement
as farNas possible.
Nothing concerning the actual occu-
patton of Liaoyang has been received
here. Official dispatches indicate that
the Russians were still in possession
OF Liaoyang.
:. The list of casualties in the fighting
before Liaoyang is growing ana the
indications are that it will prove to
be the Dloodiest battle since the
Franco-Prussian war.
The calculations of casualties must
include the losses since Aug 23, fol
the contest has been practically con
tinuous since then. The Japanese have
already reported over $4,000 men
killed and wounded

CONCENTRATE AT MUKDEN.
kuropatkin Will Probably Carry Out
Original Plan.

Paris, Sept 3.-The foreign office
has no confirmation of the reports of
the Japanese occupation of Liaoyang,
but its advices lead the officials to say
it is probable that General Kuropatkin
decided to carry out his original plan
to retreat on Mukden. This plan, 1t
is added, was temporarily abandoned,
as Kuropatkin believed that the de-
fenses of Liaoyang would permit him
to hold back the Japanese. This fail
ing. it is stated, the Russian comman-
der will attempt to revert to his first
plan, that Of effecting concentration
at Mukden.
The officials here have almost given
up nope of finding Lieutenant de Gu
verville. the French naval attache who
left Port Arthur in junk with Lieu
tenant Gilginheim, the German naval
attache, about the middle of August.
He cabled to the authorities here Aug
is that he was about to leave and that
the American naval attache, Lieuten-
ant Newton A. McCully, had succeed
ed in getting out on junk De Cuver-
vile has not been heard of since start
ing. His family and the officials here
are greatly alarmed. He is son of
Admiral de Cuverville.
