IVERSON HASTENS TO
DEFENSE OF KRAHMER
State Auditor Writes Letter in Which
He Discusses County Abstract

State Auditor S. G. Iverson has writ
ten an open letter to County Auditor
E. G. Krahmer, OF Ramsey county, re-
plying to newspaper reports as to the
accuracy of the abstract of Ramsey
county personal property valuation
sent to the state auditor early in the
week, and returned for correction.
The state auditor says that a grave
injustice has been done the county au-
d1tor; that there were no errors in adj
dlt1on; that 1t was learned in his Office
that the totals for each class were
those of the original assessors returns,
instead of the totals after. the county
board of equalization had made its
changes. The state auditor says that
the totals of the changes made by the
county board were given by the county
auditor in proper column. Another
correction which the, state auditor
would make was that Ramsey county
was the last to send in its abstract and
the first Of the county abstracts which
needed correction, and that his office
has been compelled to return twenty
two OF the abstracts to as many county
auditors for correction He also points
out that the Ramsey county abstract
is not the last to arrive, but that there
are now six yet to be received by his
office.
The statement in T he Globe of
TUESDAY was erroneous IN saying tnaL
the abstract was returned because of
errors in the footings. According to
the state auditor it appears to have
been returned because the county au-
ditor had returned the totals for each
class as returned by the county
assessor. and not as equalized
by the county board. Expe-
rienced men say that this blunder
is of more moment than any mere
clerical error, and the fact that the
total of the changes made by the coun-
ty board were given in another column
does not save the situation. TIL e
G b e said that Ramsey was one of
the last eight counties to report-not
the last as is pointed out in the state au-
ditor's certificate Of character to the
county auditor. The statement that
this was the only county the abstract
of which had been returned for cor
rection did the county auditor an in
justice. 1t was founded on erroneous
information.
Mr.. Krahmer called on the state au-
ditor Tuesday, and the statement from
Auditor IverSon appeared on Wednes-

SECOND DAY OF
LIAU-YANG BATTLE

LIAU-YANG, Aug. 31.-The second
days battle commenced at dawn. The
Russians made repeated bayonet adj
vances on the road directly south Of
Liau-yang, where the Japanese ap-
preached from Sanquafship and Tao.
Smelling the positions in the Russian
lines until in the afternoon, when the
engagement, which was general
throughout the south and southeast,
narrowed to the main line. The Japa-
nese advance on the southeast was by
way of the Feng an Cheng road. Inn
mediately in front of Chiaofantua the
Japanese stubbornly attempted to oc-
cupy a round topped hill, which was
literally shaved by the Russian shells,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently it was impossible
for anything to live.
The cannonading continued from this
point to the vicinity Of Wangpaotai
until this evening without apparent ad-
vantage to either side. The Japanese
dropped shells within two or three
miles of the railroad station and in the
plain Of WentShu mountain, which is
the most important eminence around
Liauyang, but the Japanese aban-
doned aggression thereon on account
Of the resistance they met. There was
cannon fire last night and this is ex-
pected nightly. The varied casualties
here include one Russian war corre-
sponded wounded and also twenty-five
Chinese women from Chiaofantun,
whom DIR. Westwater. the missionary,
is caring for in the Chinese Red Cross
refuge.
The days developments show that
the Russians are prepared for all emer-
gencies. Slow rain began to fall at
noon, gradually Transforming the
plain into a wilderness through which
the wounded. in carts and walking,
are tonight making their way to the
hospitals. Considering the scale Of the
days operations, the number Of Rus
sian wounded is apparently small.
while the Japanese losses are believed
to be great, especially where they
were repulsed on the south road.
Chinese graves with trees are being
leyeled about Liau-yang in order not
to interfere with the defense.
A balloon assembled from one of the
Japanese positions southeast of Liau-
yang, making target for the Russian
mortar batteries, but the shells did
not reach it.

HUNTERS RUSH TO
WOODS AND FIELDS
Game Season in Minnesota
Opens Today and Sports.
men Are Happy

Today-Sept. marks the beginning
of the open season for protected small
game in Minnesota, and with the rising
of the sun this morning big army Of
hunters is in the field.
For three days there has been a gen
eral exodus of sportsmen from this and
neighboring cities and each departing
train for the chicken fields" in west
ern Minnesota and the Dakotas has
been laden with Victoria cases, zap
enameled" ammunition boxes, cordu-
roy suits, "gas pipe" repeaters of the
double-barreled hammerless variety
and dogs
In the vicinity of St. Paul sporting
goods houses during the past week
even the atmosphere has reeked with
smokeless and black, settlers and point
ers, hammer or hammerless, chickens
or ducks, and for the nonce the blue
rock has been forgotten.
Along nearly every stream and
marsh, in the wastes Of stubble in the
southwestern part Of the state, or in
the dense forests of Itasca or ST. Louis
counties, daybreak was inaugurated
this morning by the banging of the
black in the smooth-bores or the less
Earring crack of the smokeless.
Game More Abundant
1t Is hazardous even to attempt to
estimate the slaughter that will be
recorded today, though indications are
that it will be greater even than last
year. From all quarters there come re-
ports this year that game is more
abundant than usual and prospects for
sport accordingly better.
Especially is this said to be true Of
ducks, which this year have breeded
in the state in large numbers. NAL
course, the larger part of the home
bred varieties. In the northern part
of Minnesota it is reported that the
early feeders have begun to arrive.
1t is probable that a large majority
of the chicken hunters Of st. Paul have
turned their eyes, and feet, as well, in
the direction Of the Dakotas. From
that locality an abundance of game is
reported, but it is not known whether
the late harvest will have any effect on
the shooting.
In the northern part Of Minnesota
reports are that grouse were never
more plentiful. The country adjoining
Lakes Winnibegoshish and Kapetoge-
NAH is said 20 be literally alive with
the birds, while ducks are also reported
plantiful.
The open season, which begins today,
includes the lawful killing of prairie
chicken, pinnated, white breasted and
sharp tailed grouse, turtle doves, snipe.
woodcock, golden and upland plover,
wild duck. wild geese, brant and other
aquatic fowl
The open season for quail, partridge,
ruff1ed grouse and pheasant will begin

Army VIII Parade and Maneu.
yer at Manassas Sho rtly

CORPS HEADQUARTERS, GAINES
VILE, Va, Aug. 81. AS the time
draws nearer for the declaration of
war between the "blue" and the
Drown armies at Manassas and Thor
oughfare, respectively, the harder are
the divisions of each working for mas
terry of the territory included in the
maneuvers. Infantry, cavalry and ar
tiilery are out daily studying the to-
geography of the country. Positions for
batteries are selected, sweeps of coun-
try for cavalry charges are marked
with care and places for concealment
for troops for the purpose of surprise
are decided upon.
When the declaration of war" Is
made it will be impossible for the re-
spective sides in the mimic war to
have free access to the "enemy's coun-
try" This work has been greatly ia
cllltated by the excellent map pre-
pared in advance and published by the
war department. Today Gen. Corbin,
who has personally verified the COR
rectness of the map, dictated letter to
First Lieut.. George r. Spalding, corps
of engineers, who did the field work on
the map, complimenting him in the
highest terms. The work is declared
to place the young lieutenant in the
first rank of topographers in the army.
The review of the $4,000 troops, to be
held at Wellington, Sept 10. is regard
ed by Gen. Corbin as the only really
spectacular feature of the maneuvers
OF the army about to begin, so far as
the public is concerned. The troops
from all camps will be marched toward
Wellington early on the morning Of the
10th. They are all expected to be in
their prescribed places at 10:30 o'clock
in the morning, when they viii be
given an hour for rest and lunch.
Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff of the army.
is to be the reviewing officer. With
him will be Assistant Secretary of War
Oliver and Gen. Corbin and staff.
1t is expected that it will take four
hours for the troops to pass in review.
Two high power team automobiles are
to be placed at the disposal of Gen.
Corbin for the use of his guests. About
eighty guests of the general have been
provided for at the headquarters. The
first of these expected is the former adj
jutant general of Connecticut, Gen.
Cole, who brings party of five on
Sept 2.

view to keeping the building where it is and using 1t for a park museum or something of that sort. Of all the buildings erected at expositions since the era of these shows began, this one is by all odds the finest. The great steel trusses used in its construction will doubtless raise its appraised value even for salvage purposes. to some where about $25.000. and if this upset price seems prohibitory to the city fathers, there are railroad companies which would beyond doubt be glad of the chance to buy all such heavy ma terial. Outside of its framework and very solid foundation. the building does not amount to much being made chiefly of wood and stan. and the lat ter beiig so affected by the climate that 1t has been kept in order only by a considerable expenditure in dribIets through the last six months.

DISPOSAL OF FAIR BUILDINGS.

oueatiOn of What Shall be DOne Witb
 the Costly Government Structure.
 Washington Correspondence of New
 York Evening Post. l
 The approach of the end of the Worlds Fair at St. Louis has raised a question. What shall be done with the government building, on which something like a quarter million dol lars has been expended. It Is custom ary at the close of all such shows for the owners of the different build ings-most of these being. of course. the property of the management-to put them up at public auction. where contractors bid them in for the mate rial that can be saved and used else- where. The purchase of salvage rights involves the obligation also to take 9 building to pieces and carry away it's parts, SO that not only are a few dol- lars turned, but the ground is cleared aRd the Exposition Company saved 8 good deal of labor and expense in put ting things once more into order.
 At one exposition, where the govern ment had put up an acceptable build ing at a cost of something like S125,- oo0 it had to be knocked down to the aalvaRe contractor for S5,00o. This was the value set upon 1t by a board of appraisers in behalf of the govern ment. so that there was no such thing as withdrawing the property from sale. Every exposition law carries g. clause authorizing the official apprsis- al of the government building and its sale to the highest bidder, but with the proviso that preference shall be given to the management of the ex- position and the municipal authorities in the city where 1t is held. In the present instance. the option of pur- chase will be given to the city of St. Louis and to the exposition company. neither of whom hss yet come forward with an cfEeF. but 1t has been reported AAAA the city win make a bid. with .
