The dearth of official news from
either Toxic or st. Petersburg and
the absence of press reports of cur
rent date from the battle field rend-
treating army somewhat obscure st.
Petersburg reports unofficially that
the Russian army is still falling back
with some rear guard fighting. One
Associated Press dispatch makes the
significant statement that desultory
fighting occurred around Mukden on
Saturday last An Associated Press
correspondent sends private dis
patch that the censor's Office has
been removed from Mukden to Har-
bin, which would account for the de-
lay in press dispatches.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. st is re-
ported here, but not yet confirmed
that General Kuropatkin was oblig-
ed to abandon two hundred guns at
Lao Yang. Some of them, it is add
ed, were damaged in the fighting and
the rest were disabled by order of
the Russian commander in chief.
The feeling of national grief and
disappointment caused by Kuropat-
kin's unsuccessful attempt to make
stand at Lao Yang deep and bitter
as it is, is somewhat tempered by
development of the fact that the
Russian commander-in-chief has NOV
ed the bulk of his stores northward,
leaving a mere shell at Lao Yang,
and that he succeeded in extricating
the army, and especially General
Stakelberg's corps from the Japan
esq., The war Office here believes the
battle is virtually ended, and that
Kuropatkin's line of retreat is open.
The officials of the war office do not
expect a renewal of the fighting for
several days, which time they think
the Japanese will employ in recuper-
ating while Kuropatkin collects his
army preparatory to pushing north

Chicago, Sept 5.-The Tribune to-
ference between the representatives
of the unions involved in the packing
house strike and the owners of the
plants, the end of the long labor
strike is set for the middle of the
week. An understanding was arrived
at by which the men will meet today
or tomorrow and vote on the question
of calling off the strike. According to
the plans made they will be instruc-
ted to cast their ballots in affirma-
ton. The plans were made with Sc
cresy and care They originated a
week ago. Fearing that the scheme
would fail If attempted in Chicago
it was determined to make the first
move in New York. The ending of the
strike in the eastern city by vote of
the men Saturday was the first step.
The settlement there is the same as
that now proposed for Chicago. The
following are the chief points: The
unions will call off the strike; the
packers will re-employ as many of
the strikers as they can give work
to and give preference to former
workers in future; the wages will
remain the same.
Chicago, Sept. 5.-Michael Kelan,
president of the live stock handlers
union, Nicholas Gier president of
the packing trades council, John
Floersch, secretary of the council
and President Donnelly have had a
conference with w. e. Skinner of
the Union Stockyards Transit Co.
1t was said that possible terms of
peace in the stock yards strike were
talked of After the conference, how
ever. Donnelly denied that submission
of the question of calling off the
strike had been definitely decided
upon. President Donnelly and Thorn

a conference last Saturday night
Donnelly denies that such meeting
was held, but the packers admit it.
They decline, however, to explain its

COMPLAINT COMES
 FROM SALOON MEN. Hogins Investigates Conditions at Cotter as to Labor of
 Convicts.

Superintendent R. B. Hogins, of the state penitentiary re- turned yesterday from visit to Cstter on the White River road, where he was called to investi- gate the conditions with refer ence to certain complaints that had come to him about the em- ployment of state convicts on the railroad there. To a Demo- crat reporter he said: "The com plaint came mostly from saloon men, who can not sell their li- quor to the convicts and who have a good trade from free la bor. There are two camps at Cotter with about 13O men and they will continue to work there. Before l left l wired the war dens to continue to work the men, and if they were interfered with to call on the sheriff for as- sistance, and if he could not pre- serve peace to appeal to the fed eral authorities. This had the desired effect, as they did not desire to be mixed up with Uncle Sam. Mass meetings were held and: demands made before this that the men be removed. But when I got there the malcon- tents were not to be found. One of the camps will be moved this week to Flippin, several miles above COtter.

CLIMAX OF A ROMANCE.

An event of the week in local social affairs, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal, was the wedding on the evening of July IF, which united Miss Etta Ma bry, of Memphis, and Ray Pace, of Newport, Ark. The ceremo- ny, said by Rev. Dr. Thompson, of the Seventh Street Baptist church, took place at the home of the bride, and was witnessed by relatives and few intimate friends.
 Quite a little romance is con- nected with the wedding, the bride and groom having been sweethearts since childhood. Their union seemed a fitting cul- imitation to a pretty little love story. Mrs. Pace is charming wo- man. possessing all the noble qualities of Southern woman hood. She has been a very popular girl in Memphis, and as a young matron, she will but add to the already attractive coterie of Newport society folk.
 Mir. Pace is a progressive young merchant of the Arkansas town, which place the couple will make their future home.

 Now, if Governor Davis is guilty of a high crime why is he not punished by the laws of our state? Or is it a fact that we have not got good men enough to enforce the laws of our state. Now that looks fishy. We have as good a class of citizens as there are in any state in the Union and 1 am proud of the good people of our state. Now, if he thinks he can turn true blue Democrats by such articles he certainly is mistaken, for they are not waited about by every wind that blows.
