SULTAN MURAD v. IS DEAD
DETHRONED TURKISH RULER Ex
PIRES IN HIS PRISON AT
NSTANTiNOPLE.

Constantinople, Aug. 31.-Former
from which he had long suffered.
Murad " was born in 1S40 and
ascended the throne after the murder
of Sultan Abdul Aziz in May, 1876. In
July of that year Murad was PLACID
under the regency of his brother, the
present sultan, Abdul Hamid H., and
on Aug 81 he was dethroned. Out
wardly this act was performed legally
by the council of ministers on the
ground that he was insane. The real
facts in the case, however, will prob
ably never be known, but it has been
claimed that Murad was a good deal
Pmore sane than his brother and one
of the greatest terrors of Abdul Ham
ids existence was the fear that this
man with the iron mask" as he has
been termed, might escape from his
place of confinement in the Cheragan
palace and some six years ago he was
removed to the Malta Kiosk, in the
grounds of the Yildiz palace, occu-
pied by Abdul Hamid, which is sur
rounded by lofty walls.
The confinement of Murad has been
of the cruelest character. Only his
jailers were allowed to see him and
every precaution was taken to prevent
any intelligence of what was going on
in the outside world from reaching
him.
Although Murad is announced to
have died from diabetes it had gen
orally been understood. according to
the palace reports, that he was suffer
fng ITom UuDcrcUlOSlS.

EXECUTIVE BOARD OF BUTCHER
WORKMEN DECIDES NOT TO
RESUME WORK.

Chicago, Aug. 31.--The national ex-
ecutive board of the Butcher Work
men, at meeting during the morning,
voted not to call off the strike, but i'm
stead the struggle is to be continued
until the strikers are accorded an
honorable adjustment according to
a statement issued by President DON
nelly as a result of the meeting.
after careful investigation of all
points" he said, 1--WE find our mem
bers are standing as firmly for the
maintenance of the principle involved
as they were at the inception of the
strike. Hence we believe in voting to
continue the strike until We are ac-
corded an honorable adjustment we
are voicing the sentiments of our con-
stituents."
About 200 union workmen and w0-
men returned TO the stock yards dur
ing the morning and were given work.
The packers do not regard this, how
ever, as a break in the ranks of the
strikers and the labor leaders say that
the condition is normal, the number
having returned and others deserted
each day for some time.

1.-THE Japanese shrapnel fire infiict-
ed considerable losses on our troops
at several points. Lieutenant Colonel
Pokatiloff, commanding battery OF
the Sixth East Siberian brigade, was
killed.
"The Japanese are delivering an
obstinate attack on our center and at
9 o'clock they were in close proximity
to our advance guard"
Later in the day General Sakharoff
! gported that large Japanese force
was advancing northward along the
1aitsr valley west of the railroad.
/, The latest reports received by the
war Office indicate that the battle at
Liaoyang will probably extend for sew
! eral days. The Japanese are directing
their energies to bombarding segments
of the circle of defensive positions oc-
cupied by the Russians. The latter
already have suffered heavily from the
hail of shells.

against the Russian center and right.
After four hours of CALLING shrapnel
fire the cannonading slackened and at

AWFUL SHOWER OF SHELLS
JAPANESE CANNONADE RUSSIAN
POSITION WITH LARGE NUM-
BER or GUNS.

Liaoyang, Aug. 3l.-From 5 o'cloeN
up to a. m. there has been an IL
cessant shower OF shrapnel. The heaF-
lest cannonading is coming flom the
southeast, Whole the japanese ef.'
denty have numerous guns. DeaLlS
shells are bursting everywhere, tneiF
white smoke being distinctly trace
able against the dark foliage on The
mountain sides. The Japanese are
searching the whole countryside with
their fire, selecting certain squares Oh
territory on which for a few moments
they mass hail OF shot and smell
from all their guns. They then pass
TO another square, thus working inc
whole field with mathematical pre-
cision from right to left. In this way
the entire Russian front has been sys-
tematically searched in the first four
hours of the cannonade. Then com
menced the general Japanese advance
along the whole line.
AT 10 a. m. the Japanese artillery
fire somewhat slackened, but their IN
fantry steadily pushed forward
The Russians have been holding
their ground gallantly and their losses
are small, considering the terrible na-
ture Of the Japanese fire.
Toward evening the battle was grow
ing in intensity. The Japanese fire
was chiefly directed on the Russian
southern contingent. The japanese
advance was pressed with such yigor
that it developed into hand-to-hand
fighting, the Twenty-third regiment
repelling an attack at the point Of the
bayonet. Che of the Japanese batter
