For three days there has been
sharp fighting little north of the
railway town of Yentai, between
Lao Yang and Mukden.
The Russian advance was check
ed and the attacking force was
compelled to retire to the north
side of the Schili river, but subse-
uuently recrossed to the south side
of that stream, where at latest ac-
counts terrific artillery fight was
in progress.
In military circles at st. Peters
burg the fighting noted is not con-
sidered as being the magnitude of
a general engagement, such as is
expected to come, possibly within
a few days, somewhere within a
triangle indicated by lines con-
Meeting Liao Yang, Yentai and
Sykwantun. This battle when it
is fought, is expected to be decisive
of this years campaign.
Wounded Russian soldiers who
have been taken back to Mukden
show by their cheerfulness the i'm
provement that has been produced
on the spirits of his troops by Gen.
Kuropatkin's course in assuming
the offensive.

TERRIFIC DUST DEVIL
HINDERED THE FIGHTING.

Mukden, Oct. 11.-A Russian corre-
spondent of the Associated Press, de-
scribing incidents of the Russian ad-
vance, tells of frightful dust storm,
peculiar to this season in Manchuria,
which ragged on Saturday. 1t was at
its hight while battalion of the Pek-
off regiment with guns attacked a
Japanese force posted in village, east
of the railroad and south of the Shakhe
river, and drove out the Japanese aft
er a stubborn resistance.
Clouds of dust blinded the combatants
and made it impossible to aim. The
fingers of the soldiers were numbed
with cold and a strong wind carried
the shells beyond the mark. The Jap
anese got away in good order, car
rying off their killed and wounded.
The Russians lost seventy-nine men.
The railroad is clear and not dam
aged so far as the Shakhe river.
The correspondent repeats the state
ment that Lao Yang is practically clear
of japanese troops, indicating that all
of Field Marshal Oyama's men are
north of the Taitse river.

AMERICAN MAIL WAS
STOPPED BY RUSSIANS
Protest Is Made to st. Petersburg
About II.


About 1t.
Washington, Oct. 11.-One of the
subjects brought before the cabinet
meeting to-day was a protest against
the seizure of American mail on the
British steamer Calchas by the Rus
sian Vladivostok squardon, from Dod-
well & Co. to Tacoma, repre-
senting the steamship line.
Postmaster General Wynne present
ed data collected by the Postoffice De-
partment to show that American mail
was on the ship. These papers were
transferred to the State Department
and will in turn be transmitted to the
American embassy at st. Petersburg
for submission to the Russian govern
ment as part of the whole matter re-
elating to prize seizures.
Treaty provisions between the United
States and Russia which bear upon
this case was discussed and specific re-
ports as to the mail taken were sub
mitted. 1t is anticipated that if the
Russian government sustains the act
of seizure the contention will be that
the mails taken were contraband, a
position to which this government is
opposed. There are a number of pre-
cedents sustaining the inviolabiIity of
the mails under the same general
circumstances.

NINETEEN LOST
WITH The CALL
THE STEAMER WENT DOWN
AND 1T is BELIEVED THAT NONE
ABOARD ESCAPED.

Steamer Piled Between New Bruns-
wick and Prince Edward Island
Ports-Wns Bound 10 New London
when Wrecked i'm Gales That Pre-
vailed in Those Waters Last sat
urduy-RepOrts of the Wreck Are
but Meagre.
Halifax N. S.. Oct. 11.-News reach
ed here to-day of the wreck OF the lit
tie steamer Can of New London,
Prince Edward Island, during last
Saturdays gale, with the loss, 1t is be-
lieved, of all on board, some nine
teen souls, of whom fourteen were pas
sengers, all men.
Among those on the steamer was
the son of John Fagar of this city, one
of the principal owners.
The Call was a new vessel and had
been busily engaged during the last
six months in plying between New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island
ports on regular packet service.
The steamer was bound from Ira
cadi, far up in Northern New Bruns-
wick, to New London, on the north
ern coast of Prince Edward Island. 1t
had been the custom of the Call to
stop at numerous little fishing ports
on her way down the coast, and it is
thought that her passengers were near
ly all fishermen.
Last Saturdays storm ragged with
great severity in the Gulf of st. Law
ranre hloWfnQ dfrecflv on the north
ern shore Of Prince Edward Island.
The harbor of New London is a diff
cult one to enter, and while the re-
ports of the wreck are exceedingly
meagre, 1t is believed that the little
vessel was caught in the gulf by the
storm and was either thrown on the
lodges at the entrance Of the harbor
or foundered a short distance off the
shore

RUSSIANS DON'T THINK
THE BATTLE GENERAL.
relieve the Crucial Moment of the
Campaign Has Not Yet Come.


st. Petersburg, Oct. u, 2:1O a. M
Severe fighting north of Yentai. re-
sulting in a temporary check of Gen.
huropatkin's advance guard. of which
the Associated Press correspondent at
Mukden telegraphed the first news, is
not regarded at the War Office as in
dlcating a general engagement.
The latest official dispatches indicat-
ing the disposition of the various corps
show that the whole army is not vet
IN line OF battle. The present engage
ment may, therefore, be regarded as
the result of counter attack, which
an enterprlslng foe like the Japanese
might be expected to make, but with
out any calculation to prevent the Rus
sian advance. Gen. Kuropatkin's
present superiority in numbers, it is
held here, is bound sooner or later to
compel the Japanese to fall back upon
their strong positions within the tri-
angle formed by Yentai, Lao Yang
and Sykwantun. Everything points to
that district as being the prospective
scene OF the decisive struggle of this
years campaign.
Strategic reasons of the most
Welghty character render it impera-
tive for the Russians, as well as for
the Japanese, to bestow their chief at
tention upon the country east of the
railway. The Russians are compelled
to this course because the railroad
runs northeastward and hence lines of
communication are more vulnerable
from the east. The Japanese are in
duenced by a similar consideration, but
the railroad no longer plays a fore
most part in their plans. In view of
the approaching close of navigation at
YlnkoW and of the fact that the line
from Pitsewo is long and cumbersome
and liable to interruption, they must
consider Feng Wang Cheng and TAX
ushan as the source of supplies dur
ing the winter, and with this in view
the eastern communications of Liao
Yang are of the utmost Importance.
The Yentai triangle is admirably stu
ated to protect them. Field Marshal
Oyama must, therefore, hold the tri-
angle at all costs.
The problem confronting Gen. Kuro-
patkln in the immediate future is the
capture of the fortified nights compos-
ing this triangle, where the Japanese
viii have the advantage of fighting
behind breastworks and utilizing their
superiority in mountain guns. The
general superiority of the Japanese in
mountain operations is conceded.
The Russian commander, undoubted-
ly is aware of the difficulties of the
task before him, has measured them
well and is confident of his ability to
overcome them. If Gen. Kuropatkin
possessed an army of half a million
men he could leave a sufficient force to
attack the triangle, while he moved
with the remainder around the eastern
and western f1anks. This is consid-
cred in the best informed circles at the
war Office to be impracticable with the
numbers now composing Gen. Kuropat-
kin's army, and a frontal advance is
the only alternative. Operations, how
ever, are likely to be marked by feints
on the right and felt. The Japanese
will probably make similar movements
until both forces become engaged in
a death struggle.

NOT A MEMBER OF THE
SWEETHEART POOL"
Ray Had Forgotten Some Things
About His Dealings With suIIy.

Ray Had Forgotten Some Things
About His Dealings with suIly.
New York. Oct. 11.-Frank II. Ray
continued bankruptcy proceedings in
the case of Daniel j. Sully & Co, and
denied that he was a member of the
Sweetheart pool" which has figured
prominently in the investigation Of
Sully's affairs. He said, however, that
he was interested in the pool in way,
but made no profit. 1T was for other
people," he added.
According to his testimony his re-
ceipts from the pool included check
for $500, which was delivered to 9th
er people,
The witness had forgotten a check
of $10,S25 sent in December until shown
the returned check when he said he
must have received 1t. He had put up
no money on the deal, however, and
said that it was all clear profit. He
also received a check in the same deal
for $65,205 on Jan. 26, making $75,030
without q cent put UP for margins, ac-
cording to the testimony. He had re-
ceived other amounts, including checks
for $3.50 and $4S, ,966, at various times
from Mr.. Hawley, although he never
had any arrangement with him He
considered it as just his profits in cot
ton deals and he did not go into details.
Ray said that he never put up any
money to secure these profits, with the
exception of Feb. II, when he put up
$15,500 for margins. This money was
returned to him within a month, how
ever.
Mr. Ray said he received statements
for profits of some of his deals from
Sully & Co. direct. He had a memo"
for profits of over $4,000, but testified
he had torn up the statements. The
statements produced in court however
were ones said by the witness to have
been given him, together with a
check for $48. .966.67. to close his account
after Sully & Co. had failed.
Mr.. Sully expected to testify in the
regular proceedings tomorrow, this

FAIRBANKS ON PROSPERITY.
His View of what His Party Hns
Done for Farmers.

Marshalltown, Ia. Oct. IL Senator
Fairbanks made here tonight the last
of a series OF ten speeches delivered
since leaving Omaha early this morn
ing. At Iowa Falls. Senator Fairbanks
dwelt upon the prosperity Of tho farm
ers. He said:
"An eminent Democratic authority
sometime ago, in the hope of winning
the support Of the great agricultural
vote, asserted that the Republican
party had done but little for the farm
ers of the country. He contrasted the
expenditure of $5.0000O0 or $4,000, 900
for the support of the Agricultural De-
partment with expenditures for the
support of other branches Of the fed
eral service.s His statement was not
entirely accurate, though he did not
mean that 1t should fall short Of the
absolute truth.
"The Republican party has not only
appropriated over $4,000, 900 for the sup
port of that department, but II appro-
priated more than $20.000.00O at the
last session for the support Of the rural
free delivery service throughout the
United States. That service is one
of the fruits OF Republican administr.a-
tion. More important than these are
the benefits coming to the farmers OF
cent operation OF the policies Of the
Republican party.
we have found everywhere among
the farmers Of the country where /
have been that they have been able
to pay off mortgages incurred during
Democratic administration, with the
fruits Of Republican prosperity. In all
OF the cities and villages through the
great agricultural regions, farmers have
money on deposit In the banks They
have become in many places money
lenders. Down in Kansas, the other
day, ! learned that many Of the farm
ers Of that state and of Oklahoma had
invested In millions Of dollars worth
Of the Philippine bonds fioated in the
United States, and ] learned further
the fact that the farmers OF some Sec
tions OF our country have invested
their savings, won under Republican
administration, I'm the bonds that have
been negotiated by one Of the Powers
now engaged in war I'm the Far East"

JUDGE ADVOCATING
SECOND JEOPARDY
SAYS ALLEGED LYNcHERs

United states District Judge Jones
of Alabama Is AFTER Those who
Lynched the Negro Naples ana
Fired the Jail, In which Were
Federal PrisOners-HoIds That Ac-
duittaI by State Court Does NOT
Render Them Immune to HIS.
Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 11-Judge
Thomas G.. Jones. in opening United
States court here to-day, delivered a
vigorous charge to the grand jury with
regard to the recent lynching Of Hor-
ace Naples, colored, and the firing by
the mob of the jail. In which were con-
fined federal prisoners. Judge Jones
said in part:
III you are fairly satisfied that the
mob would not have murdered Naples
II he had been a white man, then
every dictate of humanity and justice
demands that you return true bills
against the members of the mob"
The grand jury was instructed 10
probe to the bottom the action of the
mob in firing the JAIL which held In
custody persons accused Of crimes
against the United States. The fudge
also fully explained what constitutes
a conspiracy and directed that that
phase of the ly1lching be investigated.
In conclusion he declaredi
"A conviction or acqulttal in the
courts Of Alabama for what these par
ties did is no bar TO prosecution under
the laws of the United States. The
United states owed duty Of protec-
tion to its citizens. which was the most
imperative since IT had rendered him
helpless to resist the efforts Of the mob
or save himself from the flames. It
would be a grave reproach to its jus
tice. IL such an offense went unnoted
and uncondemned.
Judge Jones arraigned the mob in
the severest terms and insisted that
every citizens must set his face against
lynching for any crime.

Mukden, Oct. II. IL p. ma bloody
battle is now raging about six miles
north of Yentai railroad station.
The Japanese on Sunday fell back
along the whole front, and the Rus
sian advance guards crossed the
schili river (about half way between
Mukden and Lao Yang) and came
within three miles of Yentai; but yes
terday the japanese received strong
reinforcements of infantry and artillery
and not only held their positions, but
even assumed the offensive.
The fighting lasted the entire day
and night. The Japanese directed their
artillery fire with great skill and
searched the Russian positions so
fiercely that the Russians fell back
north of the Schili river, which crosses
the railroad seven miles from Yentai.
The Russians this morning resumed
their advance, once more crossed the
Schili river and engaged the japanese
two miles south of it. A terrific ar
tillery engagement is proceeding along
the entire front.
The result of the battle is still un-
decided.

WILL COUNT BONDS
IN TOBACCO MATTER.
Court Wants to Learn IL Majority
Favor Merger.

Favor Merger.
Newark. N. j., Oct. 11.-After hear
ing arguments on the return rule, OBJ
tanned by Julius B. Ikelheimer of New
York and other stockholders, to show
cause why an injunction should not
issue to restrain the Consolidated To-
bacco Company, the Continental To-
bacco Company and the American To-
bacco Company from merging, Vice
Chancellor Pitney to-day appointed
Halsey NJ Barrett as master to count
the bonds claimed to be owned by the
defendant, showing that majority of
the bondholders had agreed to the
merger, and report back to the court
Counsel for the complainants hold
that the common stock practically
would be wiped out by the proposed
merger They also allege that the doc
uments annexed to the answer of the
defendants showed that nobody had
signed the contract merger. The de-
PENDANTS, on the other hand, declare
that the merger would increase the
value of the holdings Of the complain
ants and explain that the signatures
of subscribers to the merger were pur-
posely omitted, as the subscribers did
not want to place on record or dis
close to the public the amount of their
holdings.
Counsel said the defendants were
willing to prove that majority of
bondholders had agreed to the merger
and the appointment of Mr.. Barrett
as a master to count the bonds fol-
lowed.
Vice Chancellor Pitney this afternoon
dismissed the temporary injunction
and abruptly terminated the hearing

he dismissed the temporary injunction
