GENERAL KUROPATKIN.

Gerday, occupied positions forming the
semi-circle about Liao Yang, the flanks
resting on the Taiste river which
flows north of the Liao Yang, the left
flank being east and the right flank
west Of the city. 1t will, therefore,
be seen that the dispatch from st
Petersburg announcing that General
KurOkTs force was crossing the Tai.
tse river on pOntoons, would indicate
that the Japanese have either turned
or are turning the Russian left flank
as Kuroki is understood to have been
on the Russian left flank. A dispatch
to the Associated Press from Lilac
Yang yesterday evening announced
that the Japanese were getting round
the Russian left flank and that devel
opments were expected in the west
and northwest. This statement now
appears to be confirmed, for it is an.
nounced from Mulden in delayed dis
patch that the Japanese, numbering
10000 men, is said to be advancing
from the northeast of Mukden. The
western move has not yet developed,
according to the advices TO hand, but
the announcement probably refers to
the Japanese force which has been
reported to be moving up the Lilac
river.

The rattle of musketry and boom

the bloody battlefield and the tired
soldiers lay down where they had

and angels of mercy ministered to the

the Russian base and the north, a
movement which, if. successful, would
cut Kuropatkin's rear and command
the railroad leading from Liao Yang
to Mukden The withdrawal of the
Russian right and center probably will
involve a similar movement of the
troops holding the extreme left Of
the line and result in a concentration
of Kuropatkin's army in the position
he has established in Lao Yang. This
is said to be superbly fortified with
rife pits, entertainments and barbed
wire entanglements.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1-5:25 p. M
According to official advices from the
front the battle at Lao Yang had not
been resumed up to o'clock this
morning.
The battle yesterday was of the
most desperate character. It ragged
continuously from dawn until midnight
and the slaughter must have been i'm
mense.
At s o'clock in the evening, after
holding his outer positions all day in
the face of the most desperate charges
General Kuropatkin gave the order to
retreat upon the main WORKS about the
city. The Japanese assaults during
the day had been directed principally
against the Russian center, a little
east of Maietung Hill, near the rail
road, and miles southwest of Lilac
Yang. Nothing approaching the Sc
verify of the infantry and artillery fire
here has been heretofore experienced
in this war.
General Kondratsvitch's division
bore the brunt and suffered the most
Bayonet charges succeeded each other
in rapid succession, while the artil
lery duel never ceased for a moment
No attempt was made in the official
advices to estimate the number OF
guns the Japanese used, except that
they had many hundreds Each gun
carries $50 charges, and these must
have been expended many times, as
several hundred thousand shells were
fired between sunrise and sunset. Gen.
eral Kuropatkin's orders to fall back
on the Notifications were probably due
to the receipt of information that the
Japanese had succeeded in crossing the
Taiste river, northeast OF Lao Yang
although Generals Rennenkampf's and
Mandariteff's divisions had been espe.
cially placed in position in this direc
tion to checkmate such a move. The
Japanese crossed at a point called Sa.
kankankwantun, 20 miles east and
somewhat above Lao Yang. and
marched in force directly westward
with the object Of cutting the Russian
line of communication with Mukden
Their exact strength was not esteb.

AS soon as the Japanese found tina;
the Russians were retiring from their
other positions southward, they re.
sumed the attack there, although j.
was then quite dark. Thus pressed,
the Russians arrested their increment
to the rear and again faced the Japa-
| nese.
With the view of eventual retirement
from their outer positions, the Rus
SLAMS had dug a large number of pits
with stakes concealed in their bottom.
The pits were fully concealed among
the high Chinese corn. When the Jap
anese charged after the Russians they
fell into the pits in hundreds and were
engulfod and impaled on the stakes
and their lines were thrown into con

Hester's Annual Report on Cotton Is.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-The totals of
Secretary Hester's annual report of the
cotton crop of the United States were
given out Tuesday evening. They
show receipts of cotton at all United
States ports for the year 7252,222,
against 7,724104 last year; overland
to northern mills and Canada 39,942,
against 1,083,383; southern consump.
ton taken direct from the interior of
the cotton belt 1,819,209 against 1 1920.

United States for 10000 amount to
10,011,374, against 10,727,559 last year
and 10680,68 the year before.
Colonel Hester has made his usual
investigation into the consumption OF
the south, and has received reports by
mail and telegraph from mills consum.
ing cotton in the cotton growing states,
including wOOlen mills that have used
cotton, and the results show a total cf
1901 252, but of this 100,043 were tax.

receipts. This shows that the mills
OF the south have used up 81, ATT bales
less than during 1902-03, and 1878
less than during 1901-02, the decrease
being due to the unsatisfactory con-
ditiOn of the goods trade and the rela.
lively high prices of the raw material
compared with the manufactured prod.
uct during most of the season.
Colonel Hester's full report will be
issued Wednesday or Thursday and
will contain interesting and valuable
facts, showing the consumption of the
south by states, the takings and con.
sumption of northern mills and the

REVIEW OF IRON AGE.
Official Organ Speaks of the Present
Market Conditions.


New York, Sept. If the program
Of the leading members of the Beam
association now in session here, is car
ried out, there will be a reduction in
the price of beams and structural ma.
terial of from $5 to $6 per ton, says
The Iron Age. 1t is known that the
mills have reached an understanding
about prices for fabricattng material,
so that a safer basis is reached in that
respect. The new price for fabrica-
tion already has gone into effect, and
while it temporarily checked business,
that effect has now worn off There
is to be held today also a meeting of
the Plate association at which lower
official prices probably will be desired.
Just how much of a reduction from the
base price of $160 at PittsDurg will be
agreed upon, it is difficult to foretell
because opinions differ widely. 1t is
hardly likely that it will stimulate buy.
ing until the strength Of the market
under the new conditions Is thoroughly
tested. 1t is not believed that any ex.
travagant expectations are entertained
by the great mills in the south of any
marked stimulating Of the demand.
That is not expected BEFORE spring,
but the trade is on a sounder basis.
1t is regarded as probable that in
line with the same general policy there
will be an early reduction of 81 to
81 ton on steel bars, and that pre-.
vailing conditions will be frankly ac-
cepted by an official reduction in the
price Of billets from $19 to $40 basis.
When that has been accepted, the
new prices from pig iron to the vari.
Gus finished forms will be in harmony
and one strong element of uncertain.
ty be removed. The onHy branch in
which prices are out of line is in the

Aside from the sales of the low phos.
phorous pig iron in the east, aggregat.
ing about 5000 to 10000 tons, no very
important transactions have taken
place in pig iron. The prospects of
an early resumption of work at the

Sides-May End HostiIities.
st. Petersburg, Sept 1-1:37 pm.
Although General Kuropatkin has
had the best of the two days battle
at Lao Yang, the suspense here IS
intense over the final issue of the TT.
tanic struggle. In view of the mum.
Der of men and guns engaged, the
carnage doubtless will be great on
both sides. The best figures now
are that half a million men with about
1900 guns are fighting for the mas.
terry. The crisis is expected today.
The public is hungry for information
from official sources that the failure
to give out advices last night is in.
terpreted ominously in some quarters,
but is expIainable by the theory that
General Kuropatkin is too busy in the
middle Of the gigantic attack to pre-.
pare reports for publication, his reports
to the emperor containing strategic
information which cannot be publish,
ed. The meager advices received
make it plain that the Japanese are
trying both the flanks of General Ku.

Russian army at Liao Yang. as Mar.
shall Bazaine was shut up in Metz af.
ter the battle of GraXeIOtte, Aug. 18,
1870, but UP to last night, according
to unofficial advices their plan had
failed and they seemed worsted at all
points. Should the Japanese ammu.
milton give out suddenly, their position
might become desperate. The press,
realizing from experience the desper
ate character of the Japanese fighting
qualities and the fact that the battle
is not yet decided, while expressing
much qualification at the result OF
Tuesdays fight, indulge m no prema
ture jubilation Most or the newspa,
pers express the opinion that Field
Marshal Oyama, whom they believe td
be in supreme command, was driven
to attack General Kuropatkin by dis
appointment over the failure of oper
ations against Port Arthur.
All the papers point out that the de-
cisive moment, to which all of Kuro
patkin's Well-though-out plans con.
verged, ha sarrived, saying that he
has at last drawn down the Japanese
into the plain before Lao Yang, where
positions have been preparing fo1
months under the direction of the Rus.
sian engineer, General VeIlitohko.
The works around the city, The Russ
says, are marvels of engineering skill,
with galleries for the protection of the
gunners, connected by telephone and
defended by wire entangIements and
mines. Into these works, however,
General Kuropatkin will not go ex
cept as a last resort. He is now
protecting himself in his outlying posi-
tions.
