south Of Lao Yang, where the Japa-

sian lines until o'clock in the after
noon, when the engagement. which
was general throughout the south and
southeast, narrowed to tho main line.
The japanese advance on the south
east was by way of the Feng Wang
Cheng road. Immediately in front of
ChiaOfantun the Japanese stubb0rnly
attempted to occupy a Handicapped
hill. which was literally shaved by
Russian shells, making repeated at
tempts the entire day where appar-
emily II was impossible for anything to
live. The eannonading continued from
this point to the vicinity of Wang

Japanese dropped shells within two
or three miles of the railroad station
and In the plain Of Wentshu mountain,
which is the most important eminence
around Lao Yang, but the Japanese
abandoned aggression there on account
OF the resistance they met.

1870 Hogs Perish in Flames That De-

Baltimore. Sept. 1.-The large pack
ing plant of Street 6 Corkran in this
city was totally destroyed By fire. the
loss being estimated at $125,000, The
buildings, a large stock of meats and
1870 live hogs were entirely consumed.
The hogs had been received al the
plant only an hour or SO before the
fire was discovered, and had just been
driven into the pens in the rear OF the
establishment. So quickly did the fire
spread that though efforts were made
to save the animals, none could be
gotten out. II was only with the great
est effort that the fire department was
able 10 save the adjacent buildings
from destruction. Several firemen re-
ceived minor injuries. none serious.
The FIRE was caused by the explosion
OF ammonia tanks.
