RUSSIAN PUBLIC ANXIOUS
EAGERLY AWAITING NEWS OF Ex-
PECTED ENGAGEMENT
NEAR LIAOYANG.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-No fresh
news of fighting or army movements
comes from the front and opinion is,
still divided as to the coming battle,
news Of the beginning Of which the
public is expecting to hear hourly,
whether it will be a general engage
ment or only another rearguard &C
tiOn
All the newspapers express great
relief over the reports from Port Ar
thur. The army organ says that al
though General StOeSSel'S report gives
no details it is evident the Japanese
have suffered very severe reverse.
The paper also pays tribute to the
navy's share in the defense of the be-
sieged fortress. Reviewing General
KurOpatkiI's movements it continues:
'"The retreat is in accordance with a
plan laid down for the first period OF
the campaign, which is to weaken the
forces OF the enemy by contesting
strongly the defensive positions, thus
impeding Japanese progress and com
pelling the enemy to waste large num-
bers Of men and much war material
On the advance. The result has been
that in three and One-half months the
Japanese have only covered few
score of versts.
The Russ estimates that the Jap
anese losses thus far as result OF
the siege of Port Arthur aggregate
$4,000 men and says the mikadO's in
junction not to waste lives must have
been irOnical

COLORADO RAILROAD WRECK
LIST OF VICTIMS INDICATES A
LOSS OF AN EVEN ONE
HUNDRED LIVES.

Pueblo, Colo Aug. 10.-The death
list resulting from the wreck of the
Worlds Fair flyer on the Denver and
Rio Grande road, as compiled from the
best obtainable sources of information,
shows a total of 66 identified dead,
total known missing % and unidenti-
fed bodies 6, making an even 100
lives lost. This list will more than
likely be added to.
All night long the search for victims
was kept up and an occasional body
was located, but in the darkness work
was necessarily slow. The most
treacherous of streams, the Fountain
river, into which nearly all the dead
bodies were washed, has fallen to
nearly it's normal condition and the
work of rescue will be made easier,
although still dangerous from quick
sand. AS soon as daylight came on
many men again took up the work
and the number was increased as the
day wore on. Bodies have been re-
covered more than ten miles from the
scene of the disaster and rumors that
bodies had been found even farther
distant are heard.
A cast of deep gloom has settled
down on this city as a result of the
disaster. Many business houses are
closed out of respect for the dead and
more than forty private homes are
darkened and in mourning. The
wreck victims will probably not be the
only ones or the most to be pitied, as
already cases of total loss of mind as
result of the shock when told Of loss
OF loved ones are reported.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10-The fol

ATTACK
RENEWED
Begin Bombardment of Remain
ing Outer Positions of
Port Arthur.
Russian Commander Reports Re-
tirement in Face of a
Superior Force.

Chefoo, Aug, 10.-From a source
hitherto reliable it is said there is
good reason. to believe that the Jap
anese are renewing their attack on
the remaining outer positions at Port
Arthur.
The officers Of the German cruiser
Fuerst Bismarck, lying at the outer
edge of this harbOr, express the Opin-
ion that the firing heard during tie
night was an encounter between de-
tachments OF the belligerent warships,
approximately twenty miles northwest
OF ChefOO. From the cruisers adVan-
tageous position the flashes preceding
the detOnatiOns could be seen. How
ever, three steamers which entered
the harbOr during the morning claim
that they did not hear any firing. Two
junks also reached Cnefoo during the
day, but they had no information of
Importance.

REFUGEES REACH CHEFOO.
Bring No Confirmation of Reported
Jap Naval Disaster.

Chefoo, Aug. 1O.-During the last
tWenty-four hours, 200 Chinese and
fifteen Russian refugees have arrived
here from Port Arthur. They almost
all left there on Aug. 3. 1t has been
impossible to obtain confirmation of
the report of the sinking Off Port Ar
thur of Japanese cruiser, but that
this occurred is not denied, as the yes
sci is said to have sunk in place
where mines have recently been laid.
Two French newspaper correspond
ents who attempted to reach Port Ar
thur by junk saw the Japanese fleet
On Aug. 6. They heard nothing of the
alleged sinking of a Japanese cruiser.
They counted twenty-four vessels of
the Japanese fleet ranged in a double
semi-circle in front of the harbor
The refugees report that the Rus
sian cruiser Bayan was struck by
fragment from one of the mines,
which the Japanese constantly send in
toward the harbOr entrance. The
Bayan bears 21S marks of projectiles
of various sizes.

RIGHTS ess NEUTRAL COMMERCE
United States and Great Britain in
Absolute Accord.

London, Aug, 10.-The Associated
Press learns that absolute accord eX-
lists between the United States and
Great Britain in respect to the rights
OF neutral commerce and when the
declaration of Secretary Hay was pub
Ished the state department was i'll
formed that it was in entire accord
with the attitude Of Great Britain In
order that Russia might understand
the similarity of the British and Amer
lean views Lord LansdoWne directed
the British ambassador at st. Peters
burg to protest against the Russian
definition of contraband along the
same lines as the declaration trans
mitted through Ambassador McCor-
mick. Great Britain would like the
United States to take steps to obtain
an international declaration defining
the rights OF neutrals, but it is not
thought at the foreign office here that
Secretary Hay will do so, it being un-
derstood there that he proposes to re-
tain complete liberty ofaction.
For all practical purposes accord
exists between the two governments.

the Market Wagon Drivers union that
his men would have nothing to do with
meat which the ice wagon drivers re-
fuse to ice.
Vice President Rath of the Packing
house Transfers union gave out a
list of dealers to whom he declared
the union ice wagons would, under
union orders, refuse to deliver ice.

tee has adopted resolutions denounc-
ing President Edward Tilden of Lib
bey, McNeill & Libbey and demanding
his resignation as member of the

HIS POST
American Minister Will Quit Con.
staninOple if Negotia-
tiiOns Fail.
Secretary Hay Tells Why He Re.
quested Warships for the
Turkish Port.

Washington, Aug. 10. Secretary
Hay occupied considerable time at the
cabinet meeting in a presentation of
the latest phases of the Turkish situa-
ton. He recounted the details of his
Interview with Chekib Bey, the Turk
ish minister, at which the secretary
forcibly stated the attitude of the
American government. He explained
also the reasons which had actuated
him in requesting that the American
European squadron should be sent to
Smyrna, the most convenient port to
ConstantinOple 1t is not deemed wise
by the secretary that the reasons for
this action should be disclosed entire
ly at this time. Fresh negotiations
with the porte have been instituted
and. in the event of their failure, it
may be that Minister Leishman may
leave his post and go aboard the
American flagship, thus creating a sit
uation of some seriousness.

fluctuated wildly on the board of trade
during the day, rushing up and down
within range of over 21a cents. Trad

continuation of the sensational buy

the Northwest, with the additional in
centive of damaging rains September

ing at l cent advance, and jumped to
$1.03. Under heavy profit taking the

ALLEGE SCALES ARE WRONG,

That Reason.

Forge colliery of the Erie company

strikers claim that the scales with
which the mine cars are weighed are
incorrect and that they are deprived
of the credit for half ton of coal for
each car. The miners asked that an
expert make an examination of the
scales. The company, they claim,
agreed tD this, but before the inspec-
ton was finished the company coua-
termanded the order
