The FIahtIna Done By oku.

Headquarters in the Field of Second Japanese Army, before Liao Yang, un- dated, via Tien Tsn, September 13.--The capture of Liao Yang was accomplished only after nine days of desperate fighting on the part of the second or left Jap anese army, under the command of Gen eral Oku. During the time while the arr tillery arm carried out its part of the greatest artillery duel the world has ever seen, there occurred the hardest fighting and the most desperate infantry charges of modern times.
 The fighting began on August 26 when this Japanese army moving to the north ward, collided with the Russian forces entrenched on the hills at Anshanshan. The Japanese bombarded this position all day lOnG, and at night the Russians retired. The next three. days, August 27. 2S and 20, were occupied in following the retreating Russians. The Russians re- treated steadily with the artillery in the rear guard, engaging the Japanese, and succeeded In retarding 1t until the main force of Russians reached in safety the strongly fortified positions In the Shou- shampoo hills eight miles north of Liao Yang.
 Used 2t6 Guns.
 At dawn August % the Japanese began an artillery attack upon this position, the second army bringing ZIG guns to bear upon the Russian Qualifications The fourth Japanese army was formed upon the extreme right occupying q position on a small chain of hills running at right angles to the Russian position.
 The fourth army employed nearly 1O0 guns more against the enemy at Shou- shampoo This Russian position was the strongest the enemy had held up to that time. It consisted of three hills averag- Ing 300 feet high all fortified with very strong entrenchments connected with skilnully concealed bomb- b-proofs capable of holding all the men engaged in work ing the guns. The artillery duel at this point was probably the biggest that has ever taken place. It lasted all day Aug ust 90 without and appreciable result
 Answers Shot for Shot.
 The next morning the artillery duel was continued with increasing strength. the Russians answering shot for shot. The Japanese were hidden under corn eight feet high, and were hardly visible to the enemy who searched the corn fields with shrapnel. The fire caused heavy Japanese losses. but 1t failed to silence the guns
 At II o'clock in the morning the fire of all the Japanese guns was concentrated on the trench at the end of a hill on the extreme left of the Russian position. For an hour shell and shrapnel were rained in this trench. and the smoke of bursting shrapne and the dust of exploding shells hid the position from sight. The artillery ceased at noon and the Japanese infantry then charged from an adjoining hill in the fave of a heavy fire from the trench itself, and a terrible cross-fire from Russian arr tiliery posted on another hil. to the rear. Strong wire entanglements, military pits and exploding mines failed to stop the advance. and in spite of enormous casual ties they took the trench at the point of the bayonet, driving the Russians back

SENTIMENT SEEMS
 TO FAVOR HIGGINS
SENATOR PLATT, HOWEVER, IS CONFIDENT THAT WOODRUFF WILL HAVE ENOUGH DELE GATES TO GET NOMINATION.

Saratoga, N. Y, September 1s.-Unless the forces behind the candidacy of Lieut. enant Governor Frank w. Higgins change positions before a vote is taken, there Is every indication of his nomina- tion by the republican convention to head nor But one name is mentioned in op- position, that of Former Governor Wood ruff. All talk of a third candidate has been abandoned and tonight the contest lies between these two men.
 Governor Odell and his friends are out spoken in their advocacy. of MT. Hig- gins, and in a poll issued tonight claim to have 709 votes assured in his favor. The conventions total vote Is 974.
 United States Senator Platt and MT. Woodruffs advocates do not by any means admit this situation, and state most emphatically that they will carry the fight to the floor of the convention. Many believe, however, that MT. Hig- gins will be the unanimous nominee of the convention. The convention will hold a preliminary session tomorrow, so that there are at least 36 hours during which an agreement may be reached
 Governor Odell, chairman of the re- publican state convention, said tonight
 "The sentiment of the convention seems to be in favor of the nomination of Lieu tenant Governor Higgins for governor, and l think he will be nominated. I be- lieve the majority of the delegates are for him.

o'clock that afternoon, at which hour the movement was suspended. A number of the staff described this movement as a demonstration. 1t probably was intended to support the advance of a part of the center division on the same hill.
 One of the bloodiest affairs In the war occurred that night on the lower ridges of these same hills. A part of the Japa- nese center division was engaged In an- other night assault. On approaching the Russian trenches they encountered ulex- rected defenses. The Russians had strung along the ground heavy wires charged with electricity and as the Japanese sol- diers ran against the wires in the dark r.ess they received severe shocks.
 Threw Hand Grenades.
 In addition to this the Russian troops defending these trenches threw hand grenades or shells amongst the stormers. The effect was terrifying and many of the Japanese were wounded. The attempt to seize this hill, which was an important vantage ground to either army, was not successful One Japanese battalion which fought It's way into the trenches exhaust ed it's ammunition. It attempted to cut
 its way out with the bayonet, but 1t was almost exterminated On September the Russians withdrew and the Japanese cc- cupied these positions in the evening with out OppOSlllOH.
 The fighting which took place the night of September along the entire line was the hiercest of the whole battle. The Russians were determined to retake Heiyingtai Hill, which was necessary for the protection of the railroad. All day long two or three Russian batteries had enveloped the trenches on the hill with q continuous rapid fire, shrapnel and com- mon shells bursting along the summit and western slope. The trenches were deep and the single Japense regiment oc- cupying them stuck to their position and withstood and repulsed two or three in fantry assaults Towards dusk the Rus sians attacked the great force and for two hours there followed steady and hard fighting. During most of this time the combatants were so close to each other that the artillery could not be used Throughout the night the tenure of the hill hung in the balance
 Two Assaults Made.
 The Russians made two assaults and once the Japanese were driven from the trenches down to the near slope. They refused to yield and returned to the struggle, finally succeeding in driving the Russians away The slaughter in this fighting was great on both sides. In the meantime the Russians attempt Continued on Second Pane.)

We desire to call attention to the

The two points this nursery made are
good ones. The nearer you can obtain
trees the more likely they are to live
and make healthy trees. Many trees

of the severe set back in transplant
