The Exposition Transportation

The Exposition Transportation
Company, of St. Paul, have
published an artistically illustrated
booklet outlining trip on their
steamboats, via the Mississippi
River to the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition next summer. The pro-
ject is as attractive as it is unique,
for it contemplates the use OF
the steamboats, as floating hotels
during the tourists stay in st.
Louis. There are other features
of the trip which will doubtless
appeal strongly to the majority Of
the Worlds Fair visitors, many Of
whom are already making their
reservations.

INsTATEMENT IN THEIR

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Presidert Michael
Donnelly of the striking butchers said
during the day that it will probably
be of no avail to make a proposition
of any sort to the packers.
IF we make a proposition" said be-
ut will undoubtedly meet with the
same answer as that which was made
to the aldermanic committee-'the
strike is already settled There is to
be general meeting shortly at which
the matter will be taken up and until
then shall be unable to say what will
be DONE"
The members of the national execu.
Cutters and Butcher Workmen began
to arrive during the day preparatory
to holding a meeting which was called
by President DonneAy and which it
is generally believed will result in
some step looking towards a termina
tion of the strike.
In q signed statement issued during
the day President Donnelly says:
"Our national executive committee
ing another proposition Of peace tc
the packers. If this is refused We
shall meet the committee of the city
council to demand that thorough in
vestigation be made into the immoral
and unsanitary conditions now exist
ing in the stock yards. We are pre-
pairing evidence to present before the
aldermanic committee to verify oul
statements
The peace proposal to be presented
to the packers was formulated at a
meeting of the allied trades confer
ence board. 1t will be submitted tC
the national executive committee and
then be forwarded to the packers di
rect. While it's details have been
guarded with the utmost secrecy il
is understood that it is simple propo
sition to return to work without preju.

plants warrant, and to leave all ques.

FARMERS MONTH 1.
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department Of The Crest Exposa-
ton Ready For the Inspection Of the
Army of Men Who Made It's
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
Ing laid by, the farmer prepares for htss
trip to the Worlds FaiE, a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition.
for it is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products Of the new crops are pouring,
into the booths from every state In the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section Of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed Grange House, situ-
ated in the south end of the building.
1t is equipped with a reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept list of
moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
| farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
| twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
| ticulture near by covers about third
| as much space These two immense
structures are filed with exhibits Of
| the farm, garden and orchard Of the
| most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most Of
| the principal countries Of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the Ex-
position, the paramount Importance Of
| this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
| of the Worlds Fair movement
About seventy acres Of ground are
| covered by the agriculture and horti-
| culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts of the grounds.
| There are more exhibits in the Agri-
| culture building than in any other Sec
| ton Of the Exposition. This building
is considered by many people the most
| interesting part Of the Worlds Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces of Agri-
| culture and Horticulture constitute

LOSE A THOUSAND MEN
RUSSIAN CASUALTIES IN FRI
DAYS ENGAGEMENT IN vi.
CINITY OF LiAOYANG.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Russian
casualties are placed at over thou
sand in the report of General Kuro-
patkin relative to the fighting around
Liaoyang Friday. The Japanese also
sustained serious loss, while twenty
four OF their guns are reported to have
been put out of action.
General Kuropatkin reports that the
fighting of Aug. 26 was in all parts of
the theater Of operations, the heaviest
being east and southeast of Liaoyang,
in the vicinity of the Ian river and at
Liandiansian.
The hottest fighting occurred in the
valley of the Ian, small tributary Of
the Taitse, around Tsegow, place be-
tween Anping and Liandiansian. Gen
eral Kuroki's first aim apparently was
to separate the two principal Russian
positions. The Russians in the valley
OF the Ian lost 1,450 men.
General Kuroki's army advanced in
three strong columns, one northward
along the valley of the Sindahia, a
tributary of the Taitse, as far as Lao
dintan, whence portion of this force
marched westward to Mao pass,
threatening Anshanshan, the other
portion pushing up the stream to Tun-
sunpu, four miles southwest OF Liam
diansiun, where it was
Stopped by kuropatkin's cossacks.
The second column marched along the
high road and occupied Erdahe,
whence the Japanese batteries shelled
Liandiansian, a couple Of miles north
west, until the fire of the Russian guns
sllenced them. Several Japanese bat
teries were completely dismantled and
were abandoned by their gunners.
The fighting at Tsegow was of the
most desperate character. The JAP
anese had the advantage of the noun
famous country, advancing along a
ridge extending from Tantziaputze to
Siaolindzy. The latter place is situ-
ated on the high road ten miles south
east of Liaoyans. Possession of this
point would render Liandiansian and
Anping untenable. 1t is not improb-
able that General Kuroki will, there
fore, repeat his attack in this direc-
ton.
The Japanese advance was charac-
terized by great boldness and arouses
the belief in military circles that
either General Kuroki has received
considerable reinforcements or Gen.
eral Kuropatkin has sent the greater
portion of his army north, leaving only
q couple of corps at Liaoyang.
Towards the east the battle was es-
pecially severe. Bayonets were used
and there the Russians lost a thou
sand men.

Liaoyang, Aug. 29.-The Russians
retired from Anshanshan Saturday
after fight which commenced on the
morning of Aug. rs and continued in
q desultory manner all day and night.
Arrangements for a battle had been
completed by night time, when the or.
der to retire was given on account OF
the situation to the east.
The order was received with disap'
pointment by the troops. The retire
ment was made in an orderly manner
The plain between Anshanshan and
Haicheng was covered with japanese
troops, who burned the bridge and
shelled the railway station after the
Russian retirement.
The Japanese are advancing with
great rapidity.
Toxic, Aug. 29.-It is reported that
General Kuroki has seized and cut
the railroad south of Mukden, thus
separating the Russian forces and
cutting Liaoyang off from direct line
of retreat, but confirmation of. this re.
port cannot be obtained. The fighting
reported occurring east and southeast
OF Liaoyang is regarded as preliminary
to a larger contest in the immediate
vicinity of Liaoyang. 1t is expected
that Generals Kuroki, Oku and Nodzu
will press forward repeatedly.

FOUND DEAD IN THEIR FLAT.
Supposed Case of Murder and Suicide
at Cincinnati,

Cincinnati, Aug. 29-Mrs Amanda
Harter, aged thirty-eight, and James
Leinard Drum, aged twenty-nine, were
found dead in their fat in the Nor
mandie ON Echo street Sunday under
circumstances that indicate murder
and suicide. With them lived Fannie
Harter, aged eighteen, and foster
daughter and niece of the woman
Mrs. Harter came here originally from
Macon, Ga. Her husband was in busi-
ness here but left her charging her
with infjdelity. It is reported that the
girl and her foster mother were jeal-
GUS of each other on account of
Drum. The theory most credited is
that Mrs. Harter in jealous fit gave
the girl beating, that Drum inter-
fered, strangled Mrs. Harter and after
wards cut her head into pieces with a
hatchet. Then it is claimed he wanted
the girl to elope with him. When she
refused to go with him it is supposed
he killed himself by shooting.
