NEW YORK, April 22.-Since noon the cotton market has been a very narrow stupid, scalping affair The larger interests were non -demonstrative and the smaller traders hesitated. The estimate for to-mor- rows receipts were considered moderate but failed to influence the market to the slightest extent New Orleans reported a fairly good business in spots: about 4 900 bales having been sold and about the same quantity more In sight In some quarters actual users of spot cotton were inducing the speculator to sell contracts in order that they may make him furnish spots to them later on, thus shifting the burden. The bear contingent continues to circulate an endless amount of lit, rature which how ever, has had absolutely little or no cf- feet. There seems to be nothing in sight to disturb narrow professional. scalping market. Liverpool is due to come about 1 point down on the old months and 1 point up on the new to-morrow.

When Officers Got Him.
New York Sept. 2.--John H. Short,
81 years old. of No. IA West One Hun
dred and Fourth street, was arrested
on the Savannah Line pier to-day as
he was about to board a steamship
with his wife. When he was told
that he was under arrest he attempted
to shoot himself. He was prevented
from firing his revolver, but when he
was taken to police headquarters he
broke away from his captors and cut
his throat with a razor. The wound is
not serious.
For the last year Short has been en-
ployed as a rent collector by Herman
Lobel of No. SO West Twenty-seventh
street A week ago Mr.. LobeI discov-
cred that he was short 5000 in his
accounts and that he was about to sail
for Savannah.
Mr. Lobel telephoned these facts to
the police and Detectives Burke and
Calvin were sent to the pier They
arrived there just as Short was climb
ing up the gangplank of steamship
with his wife.
The cash Short inflicted at police
headquarters is three inches long. His
wound was dressed and he was locked
up to await arraignment in court to-
morrow.

RUSSIAN BALLOON CORPS
HAS BEEN VAL LUABLE.

st. Petersburg. Sept. S.-Nemlro-
witch Dancheko. the well known Rus
sian correspondent in the service of
the ASSOCIATED Press, in a dispatch
from Lao Yang, dated Aug. 81, says:
The Russian balloon corps has been
of the greatest service throughout the
several days of fighting in locating the
japanese advance through the thick
cover of the Chinese corn field. while
Japanese columns frequently tried to
creep up and surprise the Russian posi-
tions.
The japanese are using lyddite and
shimose powder. The latter is terrific
IN its effects. and it's brown haze is
easily distinguishable on the curtained
slopes of the hills. where hundreds of
Japanese guns all day long poured in a
deadly rain of fire.
The soldiers are in excellent
spirits.
Gen. Stakelberg is personally visit
Ing and inspecting the various posi-
tions. In some OF the batteries it has
been impossible 10 remove the killed
or wounded for three days"

MEAT FAMINE
AT ALL COSTS
WAY THE STRIKERS PUT IT.
IS THE WEAPON TO FIGHT THE
TRUST PACKERS.

Organization So Declares the
Purpose of the StriI<ers-BOycOtt
Is Launched-5y This Means the
Strikers Hope to Force the Pack
ers to Come to Terms-RecOrd OF
Crime of the Strike Not a Snvory
One.
Chicago, Sept. "A meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
weapon with which to fight the trust
packers, although it may not be well
coined by the independents.
In these words President Donnelly,
of the Butchers National Organiza-
tion, to-day declared a boycott, and an
nounced that union men will quit in
all packing establishments this after
noon regardless of where live stock
is secured.
Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
Allied Trades Conference Board.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers Association of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for the
Independent packers and to seek au-
thority to bring about a meeting be-
tween the packers and representatives
of the strikers.
BY ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggres-
sive step the strike leaders demon
strated their intention to make it a
fight to finish.
Indications are that the five inde-
pendent packers within the stock yards
enclosure will join the big packers in
their fight, while those outside will
endeavor to continue operations with
union crews. Within the yards the
independents are obviously preparing
for war, wagon-load of cots having
been taken to one plant.
The police record of the strike at the
stock yards station to date reads:
Assaults, 46 murders, 4; accidents,
81: removal to hospitals, 4S.

JAPANESE LOSSES ARE
SAID TO BE 25,0O0 MEN.
This Means in the Fighting About
Lao Yang Since Aug. 23.

Lao Yang Since Aug. 23.
Toxic. Sept. 2, 1O:SO a. m.-The fight
ing at Lao Yang was continued until
late hour last night. 1t was resumed
at dawn to-day. The fate of the great
bulk of the retreating Russian army
hinges upon the bravery and fortitude
of it's left flank.
Before falling back Gen. Kuropatkin
intended that his left to the eastward
and northward of Lao Yang should
be greatly strengthened in the hope of
checking Gen. Kuroki's advance around
his flank and to protect his line of re-
treat and communication. The great
est portion of this protecting force
seems to have been massed in the
neighborhood of Heiyingtai, twelve
miles northeast of Liao Yang. where it
was fiercely assaulted by Gen. Kuroki
at II o'clock Thursday morning.
The result of this fighting is not
known. If Gen. Kuroki strikes the
flank of the retreating Russian army
and reaches the railroad, it will place
the Russians in serious predicament.
Yesterday the Japanese managed to
interfere seriously with the train serv-
ice from Lao Yang. They used some
guns captured from the Russians, to-
gether with some of their own to bonn
bard the railroad station at Liao Yang,
thus preventing the entering of Rus
sian troops.
Few details of the pursuit of the Rus
sian right have been received here. 1t
is expected that the Russians are NOV
ing back slowly, contesting the ground
and shielding their movements as far
as possible.
Nothing concerning the actual occu-
patton of Lao Yang has been received
here. Official dispatches indicate that
the Russians were still in possession of
Lao Yang this (Friday) morning.
The list of casualties in the fighting
before Lao Yang is growing, and the
indications are that it will prove to
be the bloodiest battle since the Fran
co-Prussian war. The calculations of
casualties must include the losses since
Aug. 20, for the contest has been prac-
tically continuous since then. The
japanese have already reported over
$4,000 men killed and wounded.

RUSSIANS RETIRING
ON MAIN POSITIONS.
Kuropatkin Advises the Emperor of
the Situation.

the situation.
st. Petersburg. Sept. 2. 4:5O p. m.-
AT 4 O'Clock this afternoon the War
Office received a dispatch from Peter
hof sent to the Emperor last night
by Gen. Kuropatkin, dated 5 p. M,
yesterday. AS transmitted to the War
Office for publication the information
is extremely meagre and only reveals
the truth in the light of the interpre-
tation of those who are conversant
with the situation at Lao Yang. It
is possible that this is justifable on
strategic grounds.
AS communicated to the press, the
dispatch states that an artillery bat
tie was proceeding till the hour of
sending it and that the Russians were
retiring upon their "main positions; f"
that Gen. Kuroki was attacking the
Russian left, north of the Taitse river;
that the railroad station, which is sit
uated a mile northwest of Lao Yang,
had been set on fire by Japanese
shells; that the station had been trans
ferred across the river to point on
the north bank; that Kuropatkin had
passed in review the Third Siberian
Corps under Gen. Ivanoff, which suf-
fered greatly in the early stages of
the battle on the east front, and fin
ally that the Russian losses for the
two days were 5000 killed and wound
ed
