RUSSIANS MAY MAKE A STAND
NEAR YENTAI, SOUTH OF AlUKDEN

WAR SITUATION REVIEWED.
Fighting continuous rear guard ac-
ton with the Japanese, who hang to
his flanks, kuropatkin continues to fall
back over roads made sodden by two
days heavy rain. The heads Of his
commissary trains have passed thru
Mukden and continue northward. 1t is
reported that in spite Of bad roads and
persistent attacks on the Russian rear,
the retreat is orderly. Details Of che
fighting and the exact positions of the
opposing armies are lacking. The
Russian general staff, while admitting
it has receiver no official advices
since last evening, denies the report
that kuropatkin's rear guard has been
annihiIated. From Toxic comes the
ifficial report that the bulk Of the Rus
sian forces is still at Yentai. Whether
or not kuropatkin will make another
stand at Mukden is not indicated in
today's advices. In St. Petersburg it
is argued that the fact that his COM
missary trains passed on thru Mukden
does not indicate that the Russian
commander proposes to evacuate the
city without struggle, but only that
they are taking up their proper posi-
tion in the rear.

patkin is bound to lose many prisoners
10 the japanese. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the Typographical difficulties
and the Overwhelming opposition of the
Russians may check this movement on
the part Of Gen. Kuroki
Among the Japanese officers reported
killed in the battle of Lao Yang are
Lieut.. Tearouchi, son Of Lieut.. Gen.
Tearouchi, minister Of war. and Lieuts.
Fukushima and Muratta both sons of
Japanese generals.
Official figures of the Japanese losses
and list of the trophies captured are
expected to reach Toxic today.
1t is believed that Gen. Kuropatkin's
next stand will be made at Mukden,
altho there are defensible grounds
south of there.
Field Marshal Yamagata, chief Of the

at the head Of the celebrated committee
which went to the state house and ar
ranged with Governor .Cummins to cam
eel his speaking dates in the interest of
Judge Prouty and assured the governor
there come any harm to his interests.
1t was this agreement, which, in the
view of many people, made possible
the denomination of Hull. It was af-
terwards that the agreement was re-
pudiated and the victory for Hull was
turned into an anti CumInins move
ment. It is regarded an very probable
that Mr.. Clarkson will resign some time

HIGH PRICES COMING.
Senator Washburn Says Crop Shortage
Will Send Figures Soaring.

New York Sept.5.- Former United
States Senator w. D. Washburn OF
Minnesota, who, with his wife, arrived
yesterday on the steamship Minneapo-
lis from Lon9au an his return sounded
a warning OF her prices in food
stuffs tl1ruou, world. He left here
July 2, and went to Carlsbad for the
season, then took leisurely tour OF
Germany and France.
While abroad he studied the crop
situation of the continent. He says the
summer there was the warmest and
driest he has ever known, and the re-
suit is that the grain crop and garden
stuffs were badly injured-wheat most
Of all"
I'm the United States" he said,
"black rust has injured the spring
wheat section Minneapolis and the
Dakotas immensely, and in other sec
tions the shortage will be heavy. l
estimate the worlds shortage Of wheat
will amount to 2o0,0o0,O00 bushels, of
which this country will suffer one-half.
This means higher prices for foodstuffs.
and probably $1.20 or higher for wheat.
Higher prices are inevitable. The for
eign demand will probably be heavier
than we can supply"
care you a bull, senator?' was asked
Of the great miller
II am not bull. do not mean by
that that favor wheat below cost to
the farmer but I'm merely measuring
present conditions with future de-
mands"
Predicts RooseveIt's Election.
How about politics?"
II am satisfied that everything is all
right The republican national ticket
will be elected. The people in the west
are more unanimous for Mr.. Roosevelt
than those in the east, believe"
.Why?" was asked.
Because" he replied, with a twinkle
in his eyes, "the people Of the west are
sounder on general principles
The. veteran senator says he is feel
ing much invigorated, and comes back
ready to do his share in the campaign.

progress of the retreating army has
been slow, owing to the necessity OF
first getting thru baggage and guns,
but the heads of the ecommissariatt trains
already have passed thru Mukden and
are continuing their way towards the
north. The main Japanese army is
marching up along the roads eastward
Of the Russian lines of retreat, which
converge at Mukden. Another Japan
ese force is also heading for Mukden,
from the westward, coming from the
direction of the Liao Yang river. Mar
shal Oyama seems to be making race
for Mukden. He evidently has great
superiority in number especially in ar
tillery. AS this dispatch is filed, the
correspondent of the Associated Press
could hear the booming of the Japanese
cannon, which are in play fourteen
miles from Mukden.

TWO VIEWS OF LAO YANG.
Russian Army Organ Says 1t Was Not
Japanese Victory.

! ST. Petersburg Sept. 6.-While in
sisting Oyama missed his main object
at Lao Yang most Russian papers do
not disguise their profound disappoint-
| ment over the result of the battle of
Lao Yang. Russky Invalid, the organ
of the army, however, is Of the opinion
Kuropatl1in, both strategically and tao
tically, got everything possible out of
Liao Yang, saying: 1T enabled him
to cope with an army very much SUI
perior to his. Oyama was compelled
to waste several times thousands Of
men to capture a position which is of
no Importance, now that Kuropatkin
has left. 1t is evident Oyama's plans
miscarried, since he failed to surround
and inflict decisive blow on the Rus
sian army"
The other view is represented by. The
Russias, as follows: THE fact that
Kuropatkin was compelled to leave
Liao Yang has not only military but
political significance. It is no use
concea}ing the fact that evacuation of
Liao Yang was surprise for the Rus
slams. Everybody was led to believe
the hour had arrived for a decisive
struggle. 1t was thus we interpreted
Kuropatkin's telegram saying his men
were thirsting for an opportunity to
meet the foe. The dashing Of our hopes
means prolongation of the campaign.
The movement for taking the offensive
is now indefinitely postponed. This
will inevitably influence the fate Of
Port Arthur and and further develop
ment Of Japanese operations.
Evacuation of Lao Yang will also
have an effect upon China, which al
ready is in state of nervous tension
under the influence of Japanese agita-
ton. The Japanese, of course, will
do their best to restore Mukden to
China, and China must foot the bill.
"We cannot deceive ourselves any
longer with the idea that by retreating
into the heart of Manchuria we are
gaining time and adding to our forces,
whereas the Japanese are lengthening
their line Of communications and there
fore losing strength. Our ideas of the
military strength of Japan were far
from correct. It is now known they
can increase their forces as well as we
can. We fully believe in our ultimate
success, but it is idle to blink at facts.
We shall have to make heavy sacrifices
in order to protect the vital interests
Of the empire

uLLEsTIN.

Toxic, Sept s. An extended report
from Commander in Chief 0yama was
received today. 1t is largely devoted to
q review Of the fighting between Aug.
"a and Sept 4. He reports portions of
the Russians troops hold Yingshiuisan
south of Yantai, and Kuroki's right is
IN close touch with the Russians. An.
nouncenent that the Russians will re-
tain possession of Yentai collieries in
liicates strong possibility of battle
there. Kuropatkin burned all the rail-
road bridges over the Taitse river.

will prove heavy.

participated occasionally in the firing.
A reliable authority IN touch with
events at Port Arthur, declares that d
week ago the garrison numbered ap-
.proximately $4,000. Accepting the Chi
nese report of the recent losses, the
efficient men now number 10000.
The last weeks advices confirm pre-
vious deductions that the Japanese are
bending their fiercest energy to secure
al, ingress along the railroad.
Itzshan, Rhlungshan, Palungshan
Antszshan, and other position frequent
ly mentioned, sustained the most des-
perate and repeated assaults and bonn
bardments, all directly or indirectly
block the plan of the Japanese.
The arrangement Of the forts ..fford-
ing mutual support renders the Japan
ese scheme exceedingly difficult of exc
cution.
No Japanese have been near Liaoti
promontory for some time. The Jap
anese now expect, it is stated, two
months or possibly more of fighting be-
fore the fortress is taken. They give
the garrison no rest. Assaults no
sooner cease than the artillery increas
es it's trunder.
The garrison is said to be greatly
worn and weary, but determined to
continue resistance, always hoping that
General Kuropatkin will soon gain suf-
icient strength to come to their re-

Moment Of Rest From Attacks.
Chefoo, Sept. 6.-The second general
assault on Port Arthur assumed
crushing, proportions on August 27, and
contir ttlMnabated until the morning
of Augus ri, when the Japanese re-
tired ever..e here, except from Palich-
wang, whickSthey have apparently firm
ly secured.
This information comes from Chin
ese messenger sent to Port Arthur, and
it confirms previous fragmentary ad-
vices.
Advices from Port Arthur say that
following the terrific bombardment OF
the fortress for the five days endirs
September 1, heaps of japanese bodies
were removed by the Chinese under or
ders given by the Port Arthur authori-
ties.
The messenger adds that Itzshan was
reattacked August 80, with great fur.
but the japanese were unable to secure
g position.
Another Chinese, who departed fron,
Port Arthur September 2, says that a
fierce assault was made on the left
flank at o'clock in the morning o.
that day. The assault lasted until {
a. M, when the japanese retired.
The bombardment then recommence
the japanese firing chiefly from Suishi
ying and Palishwang, the Russians
from Antszshan.
The Japanese losses. according to the
Russian estimate. were 5000 during thS
four days from Aug. 81 TO Aug. 81. The
Russian losses are Dlaced at 3.0O0
