THE enemy's infantry, about a regi-
ment strong. attacked part of the right

Taichaiku, on the morning Of October
10, but the Russians were routed by a
counter attack and at $50 o'clock re-
treated toward the north.
Situation Uncertain.
The enemy in the direction of Wal
tue mountain remains in his position,
but his state is uncertain.
There Is no change in the direction
OF our right army and there is no
chaage IN the front of our center army.

some ARRESTS EXPECTED


n HEYENNE, Oct 1S-The Mormon
u residents Of Star valley, in south
west Wyoming are excited over the
presence Of government secret service
men, who are working up evidence
against the heads OF several Mormon
families, who, it is alleged reside with
plural wives. Information has been
filed against United States Commissioner
William II. Remington Of Alton, who
IS charged with polygamy by Charles NJ.
Owen, and IL is understood that other
arrests viii be made shortly. Ii is said
that several MOrmons Of Star valley have
been living for years in open violation
Of the law. but that the fact was not
generally known for the reason that all
the residents of that section are Nor
mons and because Gentiies seldom visit
the region. one man is said TO have
had seven wives. four OF whom are liv-
ing. and that he represents family of
sons and daughters, grandchildren and
eat-grandchildren, numbering over
eighty persons X is feared by the Re
publicans that the arrest of the Nor
mons at this time viii result in the solid
Mormon vote of Wyoming being polled
for the Democrats. and this may de-
feat some of the Republican candidates

HANGS IN THE BALANCE.
Battle Below Mukden Has Not Been
Finally Decided.

ST Petersburg, Oct IS. 2:OS n. M
The issue Of the bloody drama below
Mukden is still in the balance. There
IS no attempt 20 minimize the severe
character Of the reverse suffered biz
General kurOpatkin last week. but ae
yet there has been nothing absolutely
decisive. There certainly is no rout
and no Sedan and the war office has
not yet given up all hope that Kuro-
patkin may be able 10 again resume
a genuine offensive. 1t is asserted
here that the tone which the diplomats
and newspapers of Toxic assumed IN
referring TO what they seem TO look
upon as the closing act of the TRAGEDY
OF General Kuropatkins army is GER
tainly premature. Both armies are
greatly exhausted and the final issue
probably will depend on which can re-
gather itself the quicker. The Russian
legions are terribly battered and more
or less demoralized but the splendid
manner in which they went forward
against Lone Tree hill Sunday is evil
dence that the temper and courage of
the troops are not completely shaken.
The emperor this morning received Ku-
ropatldn's and Sakharcff's reports OF
the Russian attack on and capture 81

TENTH SUCCESSIVE DAY
OF THE GREAT BATTLE
Russians Concentrating and Preparing For Another
Desperate Onslaught
Japanese Report the Thanking Of General Yamada and the Loss
Of Fourteen Guns, the First Reverse Since the
Beginning of the War.

OF. PETERSBURG has been cheered
y by the report that General kuro-
patlcin has resumed the offensive
and by the news of the defeat of the
Japanese command of General Iamadd
and capture of Lone Tree hill, which Is
represented TO be the key TO the 20
sitiOn on the southwest fronts of me
contending armies. IL the report proves
authentic that the Russians have
crossed TO the south side of the ShaHhc
river, q later rise in the stream may
have produced conditions seriously
threatening failure of General KurO-
patlkin's plans, for it is believed the
advance force viii be cut off from the
reserves and the base of supplies and
the retreat rendered problemaucal. II
is, however, questionable if the adj
vance movement had proceeded TO the
point indicated. There seems no inn
mediate prospect of a cessation of the
fighting that has been i'm progress for
the last ten days, although there are
signs that on both sides the supply of
ammunition is falling short and that
the limit OF endurance in the troo-
must have been nearly reached.
