St Petersburg, Aug. 3..-5:55 T. m.- The great battle of Iiao Yang, which began early Tuesday morning, was rag ing throughout the day with in' r.as- ing intensity, but up to this hour no further official details but the tVen brief telegrams given out in the afternoon have been given out. Every confidence is expressed in General Kuropatkin's ability to meet the Japanese assault on ground of his own choosing, but tLe city is hungrily awaiting furshrr news of the progress of the fight.
 The Japanese forces engaged in this battle can only be estimated here, but they are believed to number about 200, 900 men. General Kuropdtkin is known to have six army corps, besides Id7 squadrons of cavalry in winch great confidence is reposed, bringing up thS Russian total to about the saIne Eum- ber that the Japanese have. How the armies compare with regard to artil- lery is not definitely known, though throughout the war the Japanese lave shown great preference for this aim
  from the front credit the Japanese with having about 1900 guns, and many mountain batteries, and it is known that they recently shipped twenty-four heavy guns to Yinkow.
 our of these already have been men- toned in these despatches as doing ac- ton.
 General Kuropatkin, in addition tn n haf hac In nf very heavy guns emplaced at import ant positions at Liao Yang whore tho Russians have been strongly fortifyilg for some time. The Japanese :laim to have captured two field batterias cur ing the past two days. Russian Cf- ficiaI accounts admit the less of only six guns, It is stated that Japanese battery vas captured south of Anshan- shan during preliminary fighting and. that several Japanese guns have beep destroyed since then.
 Little of the strategical situation has developed so far. Official news from the front says that there was Gesper- ate fighting on the southern center, while from information from other sources it appears that the Japanese are endeavOring to turn the Russian right from the neighborhood of the junction of the Taitse and Sakhe riv- CTS. Fighting on the western flank ap- pears to have approached within thres miles of Liao Yang.
 News from Port Arthur dated Aug ust 26 was reassuring. An account of the battleship SevastopOl having gone out on August 23 to Lombard the Jap anese in Tahe bay does not mention that vessels striking a mine.
 A dispatch from Yladivostok men, lions the presence there of General Rem who recently left the hos pital at Liao Yang on sick leave.

Columbia Record, 9th inst.
There was a personal difficulty
this morning between MIR. w.
Boyd Evans and Mr.. John Mobley
on Law Range that attracted con-
siderable notice. Very few saw
the beginning of the fight, and
those who did separated them at
once, so that beyond Il few blows
neither was seriously injured.
Both are candidates for the office
OF railroad commissioner and the
difficulty was caused by politics.
Sheriff Coleman, on hearing of
the row, ut once put both men
under peace bond and no further
trouble is anticipated.
Those who saw the fight state
that MIR. Mobley upon meeting
Mr.. Evans demanded certain pa
pers that affected himself. Upon
either denial or refusal, witness
ei could not say positively which
Mr.. Mohley, who had whip in
his hand wrapped in piece of
paper, uncovered the whip and
struck MIR. Evans across the face.
The two then exchanged several
blows, and then as stated above,
were separated.
Accompanying Mr.. John Mob
ley was his cousin, Mr.. F. M.
Mohley There were statements
made that pistol had been pro
duccd, but both the Mobleys deny
this.
Mr.. Evans when seen this
morning stated that the attack was
unexpected and that politics was
at the bottom of it.
Mr.. Mobley says that statement
is correct but that he considered
that his character had been attack
ed in statements made by Evans.
Both parties have been placed
under Il peace bond and both have
been summoned to appear in police
court tomorrow morning when
the cause-of the whole matter will
come out.

A Negroes Lucky Deal.

The news comes from Asheville
that Charles Collins, the negro
whose little homestead of acres
occupied The heart of the Wander
bllt estate, has at last been tempt-
ed to transfer his property to the
lord.of Blltmore for ga fancy
consideration"
Ten or twelve years ago it will
be remembered, Collins got wide
newspaper notoriety by reason
OF his refusal to sell Vanderbilt
his little farm, and all this time
he has been living quietly in the
center of the hig park life estate,
going to and from his hack stand
on the court house square over
the magnificent macadam, flower
lined driveways of "Biltmore
Farm. For time the Wander
bilt agents renewed their offers,
but the old negro simply replied
with quaint humor, that he had
found 'Marse Vanderbilt mighty
good neighbah," who "nebber
boddered me none" and did not
care to move.
At length the offer ceased, and
il is said Collins began to show q
disposition to come to terms.
Vanderbilt, perhaps, ncttled by
the old darkey's stubbornness, Is
said 10 have shown disposition
to keep the unwelcome freeholder
on anxious seat, his agents telling
the old man that Mr.. Vanderbilt.
found him to be a pretty good
neighbor and now was contented
to let him spend his days inside
the Biltmore lines. In the last
few years there was no talk of !
a transfer by the Vanderbilt inter
est. Whether by design or not,
Collins recently rented his acres
to negro family who were any.
thing but desirable neighbors.
mi
The i'm mediate effect was to rea-
waken interest in the purchase
OF the tract by the master of Bit.
more Collins was approached
again, and he is believed to have
got his price. "In addition to the
fancy figure, he imposed other
conditions that 60 to show his
thrifty nature. Mr.. Vanderbilt
bound himself to build for the old
darkey comfortable cottage else
where and kcs. the same IN repair
during the life of It's occupant.
There is also gossip of a pension
and more or less luxurious per-
quisites.
