Novokrai in the issue of August 26,

mention of a general assault during
the battle period but records several
desperate attacks on the Russian pO-
sitions. The Russian consul at Che
Foo says the paper relates only facts

sault the Japanese rested during the
day time and at night attacked Zare-
doutti fort. The Japanese approached
Indian fashion, and finally made a
rush. They were moved down in all
out one quarter. Here a body of the
Japanese entered the fort, but nearly
al of them were bayoneted. The ia
panese soon reinforced and recon-
repulsed. A third attempt to capture
the position also failed. Daylight
found the belligerents in that quarter
engaged in an artillery duel The fort

Early Signs All Indicate Harmon
ious Gathering
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. S0.-The
Democratic state convention to nom
mate candidates for governor and otn
er state officers was called to order
here shortly before two O'Clock this
afternoon. The early signs all indica-
ted a harmonious gathering notwith
standing the predictions from some
quarters that there would be a clash
between the element that supported
Hearst at the Duluth convention and
the conservative faction. For the first
time in ten years Ex-Governor Lind
is taking no part in the state conven-
ton, and his withdrawal from the
scene of action has served in a mea-
sure to narrow the breach between
the opposing factions. 1t appears pro-
bable that the gubernatorial nomina-
ton will go to John A. Johnson of
ST. Paul.

| ture toward securing complete auton-
omy for Ireland.
The United Irish League of America
was organized three years ago, and
has grown very rapidly since that
time. In the last two years there has
been an increase of more than forty
per cent in the number of branches.
It's purpose is to act as auxiliary in
America to the national organization
in Ireland, whose primary declaration
is: ''This society is constituted for
tie purpose of forwarding a brother
hood of affection, communion of
rights, and a union of power among
Irishmen"
The ends which the league strives
to attain are: Full national self gov
ernment for Ireland; the abolition of
landlordism in Ireland by means of
universal and compulsory system of
land purchase; putting an end to pc
riOdical famine in the distressed dis
tricts of Ireland; to insist upon the
appropriation TO strictly Irish nation
al uses of the s15,OOO.OO0 at present
annually exported from Ireland for
the benefit of England in excess of
the contribution stipulated by the act
of union; to secure the redistribution
of the grazing ranches of Connaught
and the reinstatement of the eyicted
tenants; to secure complete educa-
tional equality for all creeds in Ire
land to secure the compulsory exten-
sion throughout Ireland of the law
for providing agricultural laborers
with cottages and one-acre allot-
ments; to secure the abolition of the
right of the crown to challenge jur-
ors in political cases except for cause
shown. and to work for the preserva-
ton of the Gaelic language as part
of the struggle for the recovery OF
Irish national freedom.

A dispatch from General Sakarhoff,
dated at Liao Yang at ten O'Clock
today. says The main Japanese at
tack is being directed against the
Russian center and right, where the
Russian losses have been heaviest.
The Japanese posted artillery within
range of all the Russian positions du-
ring the night. A hot fire opened at
five O'Clock this morning, and by nine

several days. The Japanese are direc-
ting their energies to bombarding the
segments of circles of the defensive
positions occupied by the Russians.
The latter have suffered severe
ly from the hail of shells.
