Liaoyang-The Japanese officers

after six days of desperate fighting,
and looting became general.

the first instance where Japanese
soldiers have been known to have been
uncomfortable.

Maine Goes
Republican

Portland, Me-, Sept. 13-The repub-
licans carried the state in the biennial
election Monday up to II O'Clock to-
night indicating a plurality of about
$4,000 for William Cobb, the republic
can candidate for governor, compared
with 1884 for Hill, the party candi-
date four years ago.
In the First and Second congression-
al districts the returns indicate the
election of Amos Allen and Charles
Littlefield by about the same plurality
as four years ago. In the Third dis
trict E. G. Burleigh ran ahead of his
vote of four years ago.
Very few reports have been received
from the Fourth district, here the re-
election of Llewellyn Powers is con-
ceded.
Early reports show that the demo-
Gratis have probably made slight gains
in both branches of the legislature, but
that body will remain strongly republic
can and will probably reflect United
States Senator Eugene Hale.
The vote complete was the heaviest
since 1888.

The christening ceremony was per-
formed by Miss Janet Mitchell OF Mil
waukee, daughter of the late United
States Senator Mitchell, who was sur
rounded by party of visitors from
Milwaukee.
Not a hitch occurred in the proceed
ings, and the Milwaukee gracefully
moved down the ways and into the wa
tiers of San Francisco bay, as the GUS
tOmary bottle of champagne released
by Miss Mitchell broke upon her bow.
The keel of the Milwaukee, the last
of the warships lately resting on the
ways of the local shipbuilding WORKS

Russian General
Severely Wounded

post states that official Russian dis
catches. received in London, announce
hat Lieutenant General Zassalitch,
Tho commanded the portion of the
pussian guard south of the Hun river,
hos been severely wounded and cap
trred. with 5000 out of his 5000 men.
It is added by the paper that Gener-
ais Zaroubaieff, Kondratovitch and Bill
derling have checked General Kuroki q
advance.
st. Petersburg reports that General
Kproki has fallen back on Yentai,
where the main army is bivouacking.
Only very small japanese detachments
are reported on the Russian TANKS.
The war office fully realizes the dis
couraginge feet of the battle of Lao
wang of the heroic garrison of Port Ar
thur. With all prospects of immediate
relief from Kuropatkin gone it is feared
that the length of the seige will be
shortened.
The retirement of the Japs south
ward from Mukden means nothing to
the Russian correspondent who, while
telegraphing the news, calls attention
to the fact that previous experience
has shown that when the japanese
withdrew from the Russian front this
usually was the precursor of their ap-
pearance on the Russian TANKS. The
correspondent also thinks that indica-
lions point to winter campaign.
Moreover, he says, there remain two
full months, the best of the year, for
campaigning.
The London Daily Mails correspond
ent with the japanese reports from
Tientsin the report that General Line
witch, with $4,000 men, invaded north
eastern Korea and cut General Kuro-
ki's communications with Fengwan-
cheng.

THE JUDGES DISPERSED.
Governor and State Treasurer Ap-
peared as They Did So.

There was a legal gathering OF consid-
cradle size in the way of legal and liter
airy learning on the platform at the Union
depot yesterday morning, which suddenly
dispersed.
Judge II. R. Bryan, of New Bern, was
here on his way from Moore court. Judge
w r. Allen had come to the city fror!
his home in GoldsbOro, and Judge w. H.
Neal, of Laurinburg, was on his way TO
Plymouth to hold court. With them was
President Winston, of the A. and M. Col
lege, who was going east.
These four were in deep conversation
when a reporter came across them just
as the eastbound train came in. Governor
Aycock and State Treasurer Lacy, VINO
had been to Greensboro, alighted and
were heading towards the group when 1t
began to dispense.
1t was lawful gathering, however,
and after pleasant greetings all round
the eastbound delegation boarded the
train while the Governor and the State
Treasurer hied themselves away to tue
seat of government.

SEC. ROOT ON THE ROSTER.
Does Not Think Memorial Will Get
Through---Department Records.

DR.. B. F. Dixon, the State Auditor who,
with Governor Montague, of Virginia,
and Ex-Governor Gambler of Georgia,
has been to Washington to present Il
memorial to the Secretary of War, re-
turned to the city yesterday evening,
after having stopped over at Greensboro,
to attend the meeting of the trustees of
the State Normal and Industrial College.
1t will be remembered that the Commits
soners named by Secretary Root to get
up a correct roster of the Southern forces
in the Civil War, appointed Dr. Dixon,
Governor Montague and Ex-Governor
Gambler special committee to see the
Secretary Of War and ask that the order
be so modified that the Commissioners
might be allowed to use additional in
formation or rosters made by reliable per
sons after the war as in some cases the
original muster rolls were incomplete.
Accordingly these gentlemen prepared a
memorial, which they submitted to the
Secretary.
Dr. Dixon said last night that Secretary
Root had stated, after giving their memo
rial careful consideration that he did not
think they could get the memorial through
Congress, as it might be considered that
it would oDen the door too wide. The
Secretary said that he. for his part would
rather have a roster that was perfect as
far as it went than a more complete one,
whose accuracy might be open to question.
He thought it would be a little risky to
trust to records made after the war, as
mems memories were treacherous no mat
ter how honest or well-meaning those men
might be who made the records.
DR.. Dixon learned, however, that the
War Department has complete muster
rolls of all the Southern troops up to
February, 1865, and of course very few
went into the war after that date. In ad-
dition to that the department has records
Of all the prisoners in Northern prisons;
in fact of every man taken prisoner dur
ing the war. Besides that, too, they have
a record of all the paroles given at the
tine of the surrender, both those granted
on the spot and those sent to the homes of
the men who were not at the surrender.
Altogether, Dr. Dixon is of the opinion
that we will get q very correct roster,
with what the War Department already
has and with the records that the Doctor
is compiling There is a great deal that
he can still use for he says that any
record or roster made during the war will
be let in.
