Japan Levies a War
Tax Upon Man
churia.
Customs Duties at
Port of Yinkow
Are Doubled.

MUKDEN, Sept. 14.-The Japanese
are causing a sensation among the ma
tives of Manchuria as they advance
by establishing their own system of
taxation and administration, as
though the country were actual Jap
anese territory. They are paying for
supplies with promissory notes on the
war fund, a blanket note being given
for the payment of each village on the
basis of population, leaving the resi-
dents to divide pro rata. Few of
these notes have yet been collected in
cash, but Japanese officials are col
lecting cash tax levied for war ex-
penses." They have even notified the
Governor of Mukden to discontinue
the salt tax, as it will be readjusted
upon Japanese basis. They have al
most doubled the customs duties at
Yinkow and have placed such a heavy
tax upon the thousands of boats sail
ing thence as practically to paralyze
trade.
Much bushwhacking is going on on
the road south Of Mukden and many
Russian soldiers have been killed
from the fields of Chinese corn. How
ever, the corn harvest will soon be-
gin and when the fields are cleared
the country will be much more. suit
able for military operations.

CRUISER KOREA is COMING.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE correspondent
of the Echo de Paris at st. Petersburg
has telegraphed to his paper as fol-
lows:
1.-The Ministry Of Marine tells me. re-
garding the arrival of the Russian
transport Lena at San Francisco. that
another vessel, the Korea, is also due
at an American port on the Pacific.
Orders have been sent to the Russian
ships to scrupulously conform with the
American neutrality rules, which are
expected to permit them to take
enough coal to reach Vladivostok. I
consider the situation very delicate. as
there is evidence that the ships were
destined to prevent the transport of
contraband goods from the United
States to Japan, and perhaps capture
vessels carrying contraband"

Vieeroy Alexieff's In
reference at an
End.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The correspondent
at st. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris
says
Il learn authoritatively that Viceroy
Alexieff asked to be relieved of the
functions of commander in chief on
land and sea of the Russian forces in
the Far East, but not of those Of Vice
roy, his object being to avoid giving a
semblance of consistency of the reports
of antagonism between himself and
General Kuropatkin.
He asked thai he be allowed to
continue to be responsible for the po-
litical and diplomatic administration
of the Far East and remain at Hardin.
The Emperor granted this request and
therefore General Kuropatkin will be
solely responsible for military opera
tions there" g
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Daily Mails
correspondent with General Kuropat-,
kin's army writes under date Of Sep
tember 8 an interesting analysis of
Russian strategy to the eve of the
battle of Liaoyang. bestowing the
highest praise upon Kuropatkin's skill
full handling and withdrawal of the
weak, scattered Russian forces without
demoralization-witho in fact, suf-
fering the army to even understand
that it was being withdrawn-and thus
repairing blunderS due to Viceroy's
Alexieff's ignorance and General Stalk
elbergs wild southwark adventure,
forced by the superior authority of the
Emperor. The correspondent says:
1T is too early as yet to speak Of
the appalling and almost inconceivable
difficulties that faced Kuropatkin dur
ing the first phase of the campaign.
Some day it will be known how many,
or rather how few, troops he had when
he arrived in Manchuria, and what
proportion, or rather disproportion,
were keen, ardent young soldiers Of
Russia. Russia will know how far ST.
berian levies were equipped and quail
fled for the task they had to perform,
and when the facts are known the
world will realize the enormous respon-
sibility cast upon this silent, resolute
man, and with what strength, silence
and resolution he faced and conquered

CONSUL IN FALSE LIGHT.

Erroneous reports sent out as to the
conduct of K. Uyeno, the local Consul
for Japan, in his interviews with Col
lector of the Port Stratton on the ar
rival of the Lena have placed the
foreign official in a very unpleasant
light. 1t has been alleged against him
that he made a hot demand that the
Russian cruiser be ordered to leave
forthwith and that when he learned
of the representations of Captain Ber-
linsky as TO the unseaworthiness of the
boilers followed with a ridiculous de-
mand that a commission of local Jap
anese be authorized to inspect the
vessel.
These reports were utterly without
foundation, as was learned by investi-
cation at the time. Consul Uyeno
merely sought information from the
Collector. and not being a diplomatic
representative undertook no step as
such.
The Japanese Minister at Washing
ton telegraphed the Consul as to the
reports and was informed that they
were groundless. To set Consul Uyeno
right before, the world Collector STRAIT
ten voluntarily sent the following
communication to him:
UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE.
Port Of San Francisco. Sept. 13, 1904.
Hon. K. Uyeno. Consul of Japan, 420 Cali
fornla street, city-Dear Sir: 1 have noticed
from the press certain statements purporting
to give, by indirection the substance of GER
tain interviews between relative to the
Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena. Attempt is
being made to convey the impression that you
made demands upon me which were met by
terse or summary dismissal on my part Fur
ther. that there had been warm sessions be-
tween us regarding the matter
/ now desire to disavow any such statements
and to declare that in ALL respects as Won
are well aware. not only were our converea-
tions marked by courtesy, but by a friendly
spirit, not only on my part, but on yours as
well. Nothing occurred of the nature eug-
gested in some Of the publications, and in fact
my very strong recollection OF our conferences
was that you acted with politeness and dig
nifty in asking for information, and made no
summary demands such as had been indi-
Gated.
I might add that in official dispatch to the
department this morning I stated that L in

to Quit Target Practice.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 14.-H. NJ. S.
Grafton, flagship of the Pacific squad
ron, which left here some days ago
to do her annual heavy gun practice
at Comox, returned unexpectedly to
Esquimalt early Tuesday morning,
making the trip from Comox to her
E,squimalt moorings under forced
draught in record time.
The cause of the Grafton's record
breaking trip from Comox is connected
with the sudden appearance OF the
Russian armed auxiliary cruiser Lena
in San Francisco.
1t is understood the Grafton is under
cabled orders from the British ao-
miralty to protect British shipping on
the American side of the Pacific at
all costs. 1t depends upon the decision
of the United States Government re-
garding the Lena whether the Grafton
will proceed south to watch her, and,
if any British merchantmen are mo-
Tested, capture and sink her.

tiles have directed Collector Stratton
to cooperate with Rear Admiral Good
rich. To that end the Collector yester-
day forwarded by Special Deputy Col
lector W. b. Hamilton to Rear Admir-
al Goodrich on the flagship New York
a copy of instructions he had received.
The San Francisco officials feel salts
fed that no decision will be satisfac-
tory to the Russians, as to the ultimate
time limit that will be allowed them
in which to repair, and that they will
accept the only other alternative of
dismantling. 1t is considered a positive
certainty that the Lena is unfit to go
to sea and that she cannot be made
ready within a limit of thirty days
or so, to the satisfaction of her COM
mander.

Russians defeated the latter and cap
tured their leader.
The Russian force lost one man and

ORLOFF'S MEN FALL BACK.

LAS soon as the left flank in the vi
cinity of the Yentai mines, on Sep
tember (Orloff's detachment), occu-
pied the heights to the north of the
mines, holding a strong position facing
south, he opened fire with two bat
teries and engaged the enemy in an ar
tillery duel. Orloff's right flank was
then four miles from the left flank
and the remainder of the army. In
order to aid our troops holding posi-
tions near Sykwantun, Orloff sent part
of his force from the hills and attack
ed the enemy in the direction of the
village Of Sakhomoon. This move
ment was carried out in cornfields. Our
men met with a frontal and a flank
fire, and. losing their bearings in the
ccrnf1elds. began to retire. The troops
remaining in the hills also retired west
ward.
by that time Orloffs detachment
was within a mile and a third of our
other forces. Orloff himself was
wounded, as was General Fomin, who
subsequently died.
After the evacuation Of this posi-
tion, which had been intended to serve
as a base for our attack, the Japanese
extended northward and occupied the
whole range of hills and the Yentai
mines. Samsonoffs sotnia of Cossacks
dismounted and defended our positians
with the utmost courage, but were
gradually driven back.
The enemy was now esta blished in
an extremely strong position on the
hills and ii would have been too haz-
ardous for our left flank to attack
them in view of the losses sustained
in the previous five days. We therefore
withdrew to the village of Talienko
and l decided to retire to Mukden, the
retreat being accomplished on Septem-
Der z. The evacuation Of Liaoyang be-
gan and was concluded on the
morning Of September f. All our
equipment was removed, but there was
no time to save the commissariat re-
serves, which were sufficient to last
the whole army eight days. These
were all destroyed. The pontoon
bridges were dismantled and carried
off by the troops, while temporary pom
toons were burned and the railway
bridge wrecked. The army retired in
perfect order. The enemy attempted
to pursue. but were repulsed.
SUFFERS HEAVY LOSSES.
Precautions were taken on Septem-
Der and to prevent a turning move
ment from the east. The japanese to
the southwark took no vigorous initia-
tive, but General Kuroki assumed the
offensive to the eastward. Our detach-
ments holding positions at Talienko
sustained furious night attack. which
was particularly desperate on Septem-
Der 5. We retained our position, but
suffered heavy losses, one regiment,
which bore the brunt OF the fighting,
losing 500 in killed and wounded.
by evening of September 5 the dan
ger Of a simultaneous attack on our
front and eft fianks had disappeared.
The removal of our artillery, transport
and baggage trains was effected in this
face of immense difficulties, but was
successfully concluded. Our retirement
on Mukden on September was COW

The Merger and the Presidency.

correspondent of the New York Sun, on
the strength of the Northern merger mat
ter, proposes Mr.. Justice White for the st.
Louis nomination. Would not Chief JUS
tice Fuller. or Mr.. Justice Peckham, be the
better man? Judge White comes from
Louisiana, where democratic majority is
to be taken for granted. He is unknown in
the states where the battle will be fought
BuE Judge Fuller comes from Illinois, where
the democrats must fight for everything
they get, and Judge Peckham comes from
New York, without whose vote the demo-
Gratis cannot win. Either one of those men
would secure the south, while Judge White.
in either Illinois or New York, would be a
dangerous experiment for his party. The
trusts. however. are not looking to the
Supreme Court for their candidate They
want the man who is responsible for the
present minority membership of that body,
and who, if nominated and elected Presi-
dent this year. will probably have during
his third term several more justiceships at
his disposal
