TOXIC LEBRATES

Toxic, Sept. 2.-TOklO rings with
shouts and cheers for the victory al
Liaoyang. Lantern-bearing crowds
swing through the streets and surge
around the staff offices shouting
''banzai." Details Of yesterdays fight
ing are scanty. 1t is only known thai
at dawn General Oku's army was
hurled against the Russian right cen
ter on the southern line and the Rus
slams were forced to abandon their
line and positions and retreat. The
pursuit is now in progress. The result
Of this pursuit and the result of the
fierce battle waged on the eastern line,
where General Kuroki is assailing the
force which had long screened Lao
of the Russian right center on the
southern line exposes the Russian left.
But here the Russian force is so heavy
that it may possibly be able to protect
and extricate itself.
The question of the occupation Of
Iiaoyang by the Japanese is in doubt.
Official dispatches do not make men
ton of such occupation, but it is as
sumed that the Russians are with
drawing through Liaoyang and the
Japanese possibly occupied it late yes
terday.
The early success of the attack was
somewhat unexpected on account Of
the strength of the Russians and the
nature of the Russian defenses. 1t is
confidently believed that Field
Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit
with desperate vigor and inf1ict on
General Kuropatlzin the most crushing
blow possible.

What is before us as party? Is it
not to say whether laws shall be APP
proved or disapproved? First, let us
understand that principle, then we can
tell whether we want it or not. Under
no circumstances would | vote for the
approval of that law. 1t would provide
that every candidate for state office or
congress should go abroad and hunt

to meet and declare their political

There would be no valuable concen-

Liaoyang Abandoned.
The withdrawal of the Russians to
the right bank involved the abandon
nent Of Liaoyang, which is situated
on the left bank The Japanese took
advantage of this to occupy the city
but the sternest part of the fighting
is still before them unless General
Kuropatkin decides at the last hour
to again fall back to the northward.
1t is more than likely, however, that
he will decide to fight to a finish.
The cards are all in his favor, it is
believed, now that he has the Japan
csc divided by the river, thus effectu-
ally turning the tables upon his foe.
The determined pursuit by the Jap
anese of the Russian outposts when
General Kuropatkin gave the first or
der to withdraw was probably due to
their anxiety to keep the Russians
south of Liaoyang until General Ku-
roki should be able to strike from the
northeast General Kuropatkin,
however, saw the trap and cleverly
avoided it.

DETAILS INDICATE THE
INTENSITY OF FIGHTING

Toxic, Sept. Traditional details
OF the fighting at Liaoyang clearly in
dicates it's desperate character.
The japanese have changed the
method of numbering their armies
since their union, calling General
Kuroki's army the right, General
Nodzu's the center and General Oku 8
the left. A portion of the left column
of the right wing, after dislodging the
Russians occupying an eminence north
of Hsuchiakou toward evening of Au-
gust 20 was exposed to a violent attack
by the reinforced Russians and retired
during the night to a ridge south OF
Hsuchiakou, where they held theil
position. The Russians prepared to
follow up their attack but desisted.
The right and center of the right wing
with it's main strength commenced a
movement at II o'clock on the night of
August 80 crossing the Taitse river
near Lientaowan and advanced toward
Huangkufen. 1t is anticipated that it
occupied a line extending from Han
jalazui to TzuatuC, but the details OF
the movement have not been reported.

right of the Japanese center abated

Thursdays news from the seat of
war closed with the receipt Of two
dispatches giving information Of
most significant character as bearing
on the domination of Manchuria at
the close of the present campaign.
The first came from the Associated
Press correspondent at st. Peters
burg, filed there at 1916 p. M, and
said that Wednesday General Kuro-
patkin had withdrawn his whole army
to the right bank of the Taitse river,
so as to meet General Kurokis flank
ing movement. The inference drawn
from this dispatch was that Liaoyang
had been evacuated, that city lying
on the left bank Of the river.
Nothing to confirm this was re-
ceived until several hours later, when
a dispatch from the Associated Press
correspondent at st. Petersburg dat
ed September 2 and timed 1926 Fri
day morning, said that "the news OF
the evacuation Of Liaoyang and the
withdrawal of the Russian army to
the right bank of the Taitse river had
caused intense excitement"
Late Thursday night the st. Peters
burg correspondent of tie Associated
Press obtained an opinion from the
war office that the withdrawal to the
right bank of the Taitse river became
necessary so the Russians would be
able to repel blow in that direction
and that General Kuropatkin's move
ment was the carrying out of well
defined idea, rather than a retreat.
The same dispatch points out with
notable lack of comment that the
Japanese took advantage of General
Kuropatkins withdrawal to occupy
LiaOyang.
The second dispatch which may
have a significant bearing on the
campaign is that filed at Mukden at
9:27 p. m. Thursday, stating that the
train service between Mukden and
LiaOyang was interrupted and it may
mean the cutting of railroad COM
munication which would deprive Gen
eral Kwopatkin of the opportunity to
retreat to his more northern base at
Mukden. AS pointed out in the ST
Petersburg dispatch the Mukden cor
respondent does not mention whether
telegraphic communications are open

at p. m. Thursday, said that popu
lar estimates of the date of the fall
of Port Arthur inclined to the last

Col. Villas Plea.
81 came to the democratic state con
vention hoping for harmony and was
joyful IN that hope. But L find here
that the democratic party is nothing,
knows nothing about the great prince
pies on which it was founded and
which has made it a power, and must
throw itself away on a mere question
of political machinery injected by
crafty politicians.
Thus spoke former Senator William
F. Villas in closing the debate on the
platform.
The speech aroused great enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Villas was terribly in earn
est. He scorned the allusion made by
a former speaker to the fact that law
yers were on the committee.
eff we were so unfit, why were you
so cruel as to send us out on this mis-
sion?" he asked.
Earnestly did Mr.. Villas plead with
the democratic delegates to return to
true democratic principles. In sum
ming up the debate on primary cleo
ton, he spoke with all the vigOr and
earnestness of his soul 1t was the
turning point in the history of dem
ocracy in this state.

committee was a magnificent effort of

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-1:26 a. m.
The news Of the occupation of
11iaoyang and the withdrawal of the
Russian army to the right bank OF
the Taitse river reached only small
section of the people at st. Peters
burg at a late hour and caused in
tense excitement and disappolnt-
ment. A majority of the inhabitants
retired to rest believing the Russian
arms had again been successful and
the Japanese attacks repealed. SuS-
picions, however, were rife during
the day owing to the absence OF
press kilograms from Liaoyang,
leading to the belief that Commun1-

Russians Change Position.

General Kuroki's army crossed in
force to the right bank of the Taltse
river and it therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in a posi-
ton to repel a blow in this direction.
In view of this development in the
operations General Kuropatkin decfd-
ed to abandon his positions on the
left bank and concentrate his whole
army on the other side of the river.
This position is the strongest both
in character and in site. The great
issue will be finally decided there,
By withdrawing to this position the
Russian army avoids danger Of being
divided by the river and enjoys the
advantage of cOmpactness.
