TURNING TO PORT ARTHUR.

While General Kuropatkin's soldiers
are resting and his engineers are
strengthening the rear Russian position
at Tie Pass, the commanders Of three
japanese armies are reported to be plan
ming another flanking movement with
a view to cutting off some OF the Rus
sian forces before they reach the Pass.
General Kuropatkin reports to the
Gar that there were no hostilities Sat
urday except Insignificant patrol en-
counters"
The scene of active operations is once
more transferred to Port Arthur, where
another general assault by the japanese
is daily expected. The japanese army
before the Russian Gibraltar numbers
so, 900 men. 1t is reported that the Jap
anese now control Louisa Bay to the

evading both the Russian and japanese
censors by sending their descriptions Of
the great battle of Liaoy ang from China,

vious to and during the seven-days' strug-
gle is made public. Foreign observers
and correspondents are of the opinion
that the Russian reverse was caused by
decentralization, The result of four
months failure in the field. Russian
officers underestimate the strength and
fighting abilities of the Japanese and
throwing aside responsibilities plunged
into reckless dissipation in the city Of
LiaOyang.

Delaware Republicans.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. l2.-Addicks
republicans are dismayed over the re-
suit of the primary election as union
republicans refused to vote. Out OF
nine thousand registered republicans
only 1920 voted. Negroes refused to
vote the Addicks ticket and former stall
wart workers of the Addicks party were
found inducing the voters to stay away.
President Roosevelt and the national
committee must now take hand to
straighten out the tangle. The New
castle county Offices are fat ones, and
are filled by anti-Addicks republicans.
With the Addicks ticket in the field the
county offices will go to the democrats.
The Addicks people are using county
conditions to force the acceptance OF
Conrad for Governor. This would give
the Secretary of State the patronage, in
Guiding voters assistants. There are
men who make it possible at election to
