POSITION ON BOTH SIDES
OF LAO RIVER.
STILL SOUTH Of YERTAI RAILROAD
MAIN PORTION OF JAP ARMY NOT
YET READY TO RESUME
THE ADVANCE.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

Field Marshal OyanA reports to To-
kio that considerable Russian force
remains south of the Hun river, while
General Kuropatkin te1egraphs to ST..
Petersburg that the balance of the
japanese force is still south of the
Yentai branch railroad. Oyama also
says that the Russians are fortifying
the heights on both sides Of the Liao
river at Tie pass. Beyond this the
days dispatches from the seat of war
relate to details of previous fighting
and no light is thrown upon the all
absorbing question of where the next
engagement in force will occur.
General Kuropatkin's estimate of his
losses in the fighting around Liaoyang
are far under the first reports. He re-
ports that from Aug. 2S to Sept. he
lost 1000 killed and 10000 wounded.
Marshal Oyama placed the total of
Japanese casualties at 1880, making
the total for both armies in round
numbers $4,000. Accepting these fig
ures as correct the battle Of Liaoyang
in killed and wounded falls much
lower in the scale of the worlds great
battles.

Experiment Interests CattIemen.

An experiment in which cattleraen
are greatly interested will be COM
menced at Mondak next week, when
cattle will be dipped in crude oil as
substitute for the lime and sulphur
which is now being used for dipping.
A vat specially constructed has been
built and the experiments will be car
rie1 on under government supervision.
G.. H. Stevens, one of the largest cat
tie owners in Montana, is bearing the
expense of the experiments. Crude
oil has been used in Texas with great
success for dipping cattle to kill the
ticks. but the idea of using it to dip
for "scabbies" is new one. It is
claimed that if the oil proves a sue
cess in removing the scabbies only one
dipping will benecessary, whereas
with sulphur and lime the government
requires that the cattle shall be dipped
twice. Cattlemen will watch the ex-
periments with great interest for it's
success will mean great saving to
them 'r4

Another Examination to Be Made o
Russian Transport.

San Francisco, Sept. 15.-Another
and more thorough inspection of the
Russian cruiser Lena will be made
during the day by naval engineers in
order to furnish the state and navy
departments with more complete data
concerning her boilers and seaworthi
ness. In the event that the Lena is
dismantled she will probably be laid
up at the Mare Island navyyard. Rear
Admiral Goodrich has been directed
by the navy department to offer the
navyyard to Captain Berlinsky for that
purpose.
The watch kept on the Lena is even
more rigid than at first The gunboat
Bennington has moved nearer to her
and the patrolling launches are re-
lieved every day. 1t is reported that
Japanese Minister Takahira has cen
sured the local Japanese consul, NJ.
Uyeno, for demanding that Japanese
inspectors be permitted to inspect the
Lena and pass on her need of repairs.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The correspondent
Of the Echo de Paris at st. Petersburg
has telegraphed his paper as follows:
"The ministry of marine tells me,
regarding the arrival of the Russian
transport Lena at San Francisco, that
another vessel, the Korea, is also due
at an American port on the Pacific.
Orders have been sent to the Russian
ships to scrupulously conform with the
American neutrality rules, which are
expected to permit them taking on
enough coal to reach Vladivostok. 1
consider the situation very delicate, as
there is evidence that the ships were
destined to prevent the transport of
contraband goods from the United
States to Japan and perhaps capture
vessels carrying contraband."

BANGOR'S FAIR.
President Beal Decides to Quit an I'm.
profitable Enterprise.

President Beal Decides to Quit an I'm
profitable Enterprise.
The NeUs says: Bangor's famous fair
IL dead--for this year certainly, and prob
ably for all time. This decision has been
reached by Mayor y. o. Beal, president OF
I g association, who stated on Wednes-
day night that the exhibitions have not
been profitable, and that he does OF care
to put any more Of his time or money
into the enterprise.
The first fair was given in 1888. On
Aug. of that year, under Mr.. Eeal's d.
rection, the work OF constructing the race
track was begun, and on Sept. % OF that
year the first exhibition was begun. The
grand stand was then only partially
built, and few of the other buildings
were completed, so that good part OF
the show was given under canvas, but
the next year the outfit was complete,
and ever since then the fair has been a big
thing for Bangor and all OF eastern
Maine.
From 1888 to 1885 the fair was given by
Messrs. j. p. Bass, F. o. Beal and Ezra
l.. Storms, associated as individuals, but
In 1885 the enterprise was incorporated
under the name of the Eastern Maine
State fair. In 1855 and 1886 the New Eng
land fair was held in conjunction with
the Eastern, and great crowds from all
over the eastern part of the country at
tended. The officials of the eastern
Maine State fair association were:
President, Joseph P. Bass; vice. president,
e. Fl. Greedy, Of Ellswo-th; secretary,
Ezra l.. Storms; treasurer, 8. ID. Benson;
general superintendent, f. o. Besi.
The fair continued until 1895 under this
management, when Mr.. Bass sold one
third interest to Messrs. Beal and Stems
for q, 500, and these two have since been
equal partners In the enterprise, owning
the buildings and all other property on
the grounds, and having lease from Mr..
Bass, who still owns the grounds, about
forty acres of land In the western part OF
the city. In all twenty-one exhibitions
have been given, and the aggregate at
tendance has been about 660, 900, an aver
age of 10000 year.

the convention was replete With excit-
,np scenes and dramatic situations. The
aoodeates of oratory were hoisted almost
:. soou a. the convention opened on
wednesday, July 9, and were not shut
aown until tho last word was said early
on Sunday morning.
The struggle 10 committee over the
p,stforn was remarkable one. The free
liver sentiment OF the West, which had
the sympathy II not the support of the
south, was pitted against the gold stand.
ard sentiment OF the North ana East, and
10, sixteen hours II was q battle royal.
TIE end was that no plank relating to
the money question was inserted In the
platform, the ground being taken that 1t
was in no sense an issue OF the campaign,
and therefore could be consistently
ignored In the platform altogether
clearly q victory for Bryan.
This omission resulted In q situation
that threatened for " hiie to upset the
entire proceedings of the conventions
telegram from Judge Parker to William
r. sheehsn, of the New York delegation,
which read a. follows:
II regard the gold standard as firmly and
irreyocabiy established and l shall act accord
ingly IL the action OF the convention to-day
saturday. Is ratified by the people. Inasmuch
a. the platform IL silent on the sabjecs, my
views should be known 10 the convention, and II
his proved to be unsatisfactory to the majority
request you 10 decline the nomination for me
at onee, 80 that another may be nominated be-
fore adjournment"
Tho telegram for time set the convsn-
ton wild. The Bryanites thought they
detected trick to bring about the inser-
ton OF gold plank in the platform, and
the debate thai followed vas acrimonious.
Finally In the interests OF harmony the
convention voted to send the following
telegram to Judge Parker:
"fhe platform Rdop,ed by this convention Is
silent on the question of the monetary standard
because II IL not regarded by US as possible
issue In this campaign. and only campaign
issues were mentioned In the platform. Their.
