British Columbia Items.

The feature of last week in the Ross
land camp was the commencement of
milling at the White Bear concentra-
tor. Thirty stamps are crushing ore
steadily, the water supply is excellent
and the mill is working we'll, all of
which points to uninterrupted activity.
For the past week the five large
shippers of the Boundary sent out the
following amounts of ore: CRANKY
mines to CRANKY smelter, 1920 tons;
Mother Lode to Greenwood smelter,
1852 tons; Emma to Greenwood and
Nelson smelters, 1887 tons; Orc De-
moro to CRANKY smelters, SO tons;
Mountain Rose to Greenwood smelter,
1872 tons; total for week, $1,000 tons;
total for year to date, 543,719 tons.
The CRANKY smelter treated 9919 tons,
or a total of 396,267 tons for the year.

RUSSIAN ARMY is DIVIDED.
kuropatkin Retreats, Leaving $4,000
Men Cut Off.

The nag of Japan flies over Lao
yang. Field Marshal Oyama, who led
his famous Second army into Port
Arthur during the Chino-Japanese war
OF 1S94-5, and who in that struggle
also captured Weihaiwei and Talien-
wan, by dint of incessant fighting. in
which his men were spared neither be-
cause of casualties nor because of
hardships, holds sway over Liaoyang,
and General Kuropatkin, through
whom Russians believed their arms
would be successful, Is in full retreat
northward, while one of his chief
aides, General Stakelberg, with his
command, the First Siberian army
numbering $4,000 men. is cut off to
the westward of Liaoyang. Russian
forces are concentrating at Yentai, but
the dispatches thus far give no init
nation as to whether or not they will
make stand there or even if the Jap
anese are pursuing their foes in the
fight.
1t is not known whether the Japan
csc will stop at Liaoyang and fortify,
and with the Taitze river between
them and General Kuropatkin's force,
endeavor either to become defenders
in case the Russians should attack,
or, by inaction, will end the campaign
at Liaoyang.
This last blow to Russian arms,
though it is spoken of in st. Peters
burg as the logical consequence of
Russian plans, doubtless will be taken
much to heart by the subjects of EN-
peror Nicholas, who, after a success
sion of defeats and retirements by
their army, had expected finality of
the struggle at Liaoyang in their IA
vor.
In the loss of Liaoyang by the Rus
slams the Japanese probably will gain
little except in the way of a strate-
gical point, for the Russians blew up
the magazines and set fire to the en-
ormous quantities of army stores and
provisions there before they evacu-
ated

aAKELBERG'S ARMY SAFE
TROOPS LEFT BY kURoPATkIN
AT LIAoyANe.
Heavy Losses Reported-Japanese,
Concealed In Grass and Chinese
Corn, Shoot 1900 Men In One Of or
lofts Regiments Alone-Russians
Seem to Be Panic Stricken.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-General
Kuropatkin, in late report, says that
the greater part of his army, includ-
ing General Stakelbergs force of u.s.
900 men, which succeeded in rejoining
the main force, is now south of the
Yentai mines, about 10 miles from
Liaoyang.
The troops which were left at Lao
yang and the surrounding Notifications
to cover the retreat, crossed the Taitze
river Saturday and occupied the right
bank of the river.
The report says that after the de-
cisive engagement between the armies
of General Kuropatkin and Kuroki
large numbers Of Japanese, perfectly
concealed in the Chinese corn and
grass, stealthily crept up on the re-
treating Russians and inflicted heavy
losses.
These same tactics had previously
been adopted with terrible results.
Major General Orloff's mixed detach-
ment was assailed in the midst of the
grass with completely unexpected
fire. A panic ensued and one regiment
alone lost 1900 men--half of its total
strength.

First Place,

New York Athletic Club Captures the
First Place.
st. Louis.-With the finish of the
international team race, the last event
on Saturdays card, the 1904 Olympiad
came to an end.
Owing to protests made by the Chi
cago Athletic association, the award
of the magnificent loving cup, emblem
attic of the Olympic championship, was
not made to the athletic organization
whose representatives scored the most
points in the Olympic championship
events during the meet.
The final scores, according to the Of
fetal records of the four clubs, fol-
lows:
New York Athletic club, So; Chicago
Athletic club, SO; Milwaukee Athletic
club, As; Greater New York Irish Ath
letic association, 81.
The Chicago association, however,
has protested the entry of John R.
Dewitt of the New York Athletic club,
who won second place in the 16 pound
hammer event. and the New York Ath-
letic tug of war team, which finished
fourth in that event.
Will Make Delay.
The result of these protests will be,
unless the charges are withdrawn, that
the awarding of the championship cup
will be delayed until after the meeting
of the governing board of the amateur
athletic union in New York next No
vember.
Should the protests be allowed by
that body it will result in a tie, as
Dewitt won three points and the tug
of war team one point for the New
York club.
James D. Lightbody of the Chicago
A. A. clipped three-ffths of a second
off the Olympic record for the 1900
meter run.
The keenest competition of the en-
tire weeks program developed in the
discus throw. M. ]. Sheridon of the
Greater New York 1. A. A., and Ralph
w. Rose of the G. A. A., tied for first
place with throws of 1923 feet 10h
inches, breaking the Olympic record
by more than one foot. AS a split
in points is not allowed in Olympic
championships, the men were forced
to throw over the tie. The best Rose
could do was 127 feet 6A inches, while
Sheridan, although beating him, also
showed a reversal of form and the dis
lance that gave him first place was
1877 feet 10A inches.
