THE MISSOURI CAMPAIGN
Opened at Kansas City Yesterday by
 Senator Fairbanks.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2.-Senator Fairbanks formally opened the republi- can campaign in Missouri tonight. The ceremony took place in the convention hall and that immense building was filled in honor of the occasion. The event was rendered memorable by the presence not only of the republican candidate for vice president, but by the presence of many Missouri political leaders, including candidates for most of the state and local offices.
 The day was devoted by the sena- tor to meeting personal and political friends and to a visit to Kansas City, Kansas, where he made a brief ad- dress. For an hour or more in the af- ternoon he stood in the parlOrs of the Midland hotel and shook hands with citizens who presented themselves. among them being many former resi- dents of Indiana.
 At a meeting in Kansas City, Kan sas, reference was again made to Sem ator Fairbanks availability as a presi- dential candidate. It came from State Senator Cubbison, who presided over the meeting, and was in the follow ing terms: "If President Mckinley hal lived, Senator Fairbanks would all most certainly have been the presiden- tial nominee at this time, but under circumstances all we can do for him now is to elect him to the vice pres idency and then nominate and elect him president four years hence."

it by hammering blows. Perhaps the seventh days battle must be waged before the issue can be finally declar- ed.'
 The Daily Telegraph's military cri- tic, in common with other English ex- perts sees nothing but superior Jap anese force and strategy to account for General Kuropatkin's present position. This authority predicts an endeavor on the part of the Russian force to reach Chinese territory.
 The Standard bluntly voices the thought of many by saying: Tt is q retreat or a rout." The Standard says that General Kuropatkin in his "pre- carious condition is not without some prospects of avoiding the signal catas- trophe of surrender en masse if he can still get away to the north. Even with the loss of many guns and vdlu> able supplies the success of the Jap anese will be a good deal modified"
 The Times compares the battle Of Liao Yang with those of Wagram, Leipsig, Kon1ggratz and Gravelotte, but it says: We still have to learn whether the Japanese reaped the fruits of victory in such abundant mea- sure as to make the battle a thoroughly decisive turning point of war. From the news thus far available there seems to be strong probability that they will be able to do so.'
 The Times Tokio correspondent, cabling Friday, says: Premature ru- mors of the fall of Liao Yang are re- peated today, but a careful analysis of the official reports shows that the Rus sians have merely been driven into their last line of defenses, where they will probably make a desperat resist ance. Three Japanese armies are clos ing around them"
 The Seoul correspondent of the Lon don Daily Telegraph says the Japanese have erected a sham fortress in imita- | tion of Port Arthur, outside the west gate of Seoul, "so that when the fort ress falls the inhabitants may see the real thing at their gates."
 The St. Petersburg correspondent of l the Daily Telegraph in discussing the rumors as to German intervention with
 view to the conclusion of peace, can- vases its possibilities and says it is believed that such intervention would be favored even by some Russian dip 2 lcmats, making the terms Of peace i pave the way for an eventual Russo Japanese alliance on the expiration of
 the Japanese alliance with Great Brit ain.
 | The correspondent goes on to say: i "It is now seen that Russia made a
 mistake in rejecting the Japanese ov- | erture for an alliance at the time of { Baron Kurino's visit to St. Petersburg
 and looking to the possibilities of in-
 ternal difficulties, if a prolonged at | tempt should be made to crush the ! Japanese. It is considered that it
 might be advisable to form a triple aI- | liance composed of Germany Russia | and Japan, which if realized, would
 shape the destinies of Asia and Europe and enormously strengthen the cause
 of autocracy and the principle of dl- 1 vine right"

FORWARDING LAO YANG.
An Indication That it Had Not Been
 Captured on Thursday.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The Japanese legation today received the following cablegram from 'Tokio: Marshal Oya- ma reports under the date of Sept. 1, that the enemy was unable to resist our fierce attack and is retiring toward Liao Yang. Our left and center are hotly pursuing the enemy who is in great confusion trying to retire to the right bank of the Taitse river.
 We captured some ten and half centime cannon which are now being used to bombard Liao Yang. railroad station. Our right is attacking the en- emy at Hai Tai, fifteen miles north east of Liao Yang. Our casualties since the 29th are about 10000"

TOLD ANOTHER FORM.

Tokio, Sept. "A telegram received here from the chief of staff in the field indicates that General Oku, in com mand of the Japanese left army gained the ascendancy over the Russian right and center by a night assault.
 The Japanese gained a foothold near Hsinlintun on Wednesday afternoon. and the telegram says that they oc- cupied Hsinlintun and the eminences to the west of Shoushanpao at o'clock Thursday morning, after having deliv- cred a successful night attack, which surprised the Russians.
 The artillery captured by the Japan csc which they are using against Liao Yang is described as ten-centimetcr guns. The number taken is not given.

spent some time at Rosemount today, talking over the campaign with Mir Parker After the conference MT. Wat terson said that ne felt confident Of the election of Parker. He had gone through seven campaigns and thought he knew whereof he spoke. He said the independent voter probably would decide the election and that independ- ent voters were going to Parker every day.
 He added: T was in seven consec- utive conventions and feel that I have done my part. I was asked to make an address next Wednesday night to democratic editors whom I am to meet in New York and have accepted. Of course it is probable that I may talk some politics at that time. have found that I can talk best about cur rent topics. The morning papers give me plenty ot subject matter as a rule. On this occasion I have decided to speak from the subject, If I Were Republican, My talk will not be a discussion of issues to any great ex- tent. It will come nearer being philo- sophical politics based on the present conflict. If 1 were republican now would vote for Parker and in my ad- dress I will tell why I would vote for him."
 MT. Watterson had never met Judge Parker, though Judge Parker knows MT. Watterson. In 1880 Judge Parker listened to the Kentucky editor when he made a vehement denunciation of the New York delegation to the demo- cratic national convention at Cincin- nati.

FAR FROM FOUGHT OUT.
English Estimates of the Battle
 Liao Yang.

London, Sept. 3.-English military authorities neither share Tokio's jubil- ation over the result at Liao Yang noc lay stress on the advantage which Rus sian dispatches attribute to Kuropat- kin's latest move. The best informed observers who have access to sources of information not revealed in the dis patches from Tokio and not given out at St. Petersburg declare that the bat tie of Liao Yang, however, dramatic and historic in loss of life and tragic incidents can have no serious bearing on the eventual issue unless the Jap anese have surrounded Kuropatkin.
 The London daily newspapers in their headlines depict the conditions at LiaO Yang as 'id Russian rout," "a defeat" or ''a debacle" Their editorials in more careful vein, point out that the latest dispatches leave the issue of "thc greatest battle of this gener- ation" still in doubt. From an expert British point of view, Marquis Oyama' ; sacrifices will have been in vain unless he is able to cut off Kuropatkin from Mukden. From this point there ara chaotic hypotheses.
 The Daily Graphic says: We are in the dark as to the final outcome. % adding that it seems not unlikely thac Kuropatkm may still manage to carry his lighting force with him to Mukden Other critics doubt whether the Jpaan- csc in the face of the 'indomitable Russian pluck" are strong enough to press home the preliminary successes already won.
 The Morning Post concludes a care ful survey Of the four days fighting with the. opinion that the battle of Liao Yang will take it's place beside that of Waterloo, and believes that whether or not Kuropatkins force is able to continue it's retreat it will be broken and useless for some time to come"
 The Russian view that General Ku- ropatkin, by crossing the river divid- ed the opposing forces, meets with slight consideration. as it is pointed out that all the Japanese units can at tack simultaneously from different di- rections, which eliminates any advant- age to the Russian side and really az 'gravates the seriousness of their posi- tion, the Japanese force being super fer in numbers.
 The suspense with which develop ments at Liao Yang are awaited could be scarcely greater in Tokio than it is in London. The Daily Telegraph, which hailed the initial success at Liao Yang with a degree of finality, now ad- mits that 'it is not impossible that Kuropatkin may extricate a portion Of his forces" The Daily Telegraph con- tinues: One of the most exciting problems ever known in war has been narrowed down to one point, namely, whether Q part of the retreating army will succeed in tearing through Vent si. leaving many thousands of men and some hundreds of guns behind them, or whether General Kuroki will destroy

THE AMERICAN PROTEST.
It Is Gievn Out that Proposal of the
 States Will be Turned Down.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 2.-The United States has protested to the Russians against the seizure of the cargo of the British steamer Calchas, which was captured while bound from Puget sound to Japan by the Vladivostol1 squadron. The protest follows the lines of the case of the Portland and Asiatic line steamer Arabia, also seized by the Vladivostok squadron, in de- clining to recognize as of contraband character the goods and foodstuffs in the course of trade and not designed for the use of belligerents.
 The Associated Press is able to state on very high authority that Russia will decline to enter into negotiations proposed by the United States on Aug. 31, in regard to the unrestricted recog- milton of American passports.

 Belleville, H., Sept. 2-As a result of the strike troubles at the East St. Louis packing houses during the past few days, the issuance of citations against strikers began on wholesale plant here today. They will be charg- ed with contempt of court in violating the injunction issued by Judge Holden some time ago, restraining the strik- CTS from interfering in any way with the men employed to take their places.
 Citations were today served on Pat rick Moran, business agent of the packing trades council; Chris MertZ, another leader; and Frank Meyer and George Hafforth of the commissary de- pertinent.
 It is rumored that Sheriff Thomp- son had conferred with Governor Yates in reference to calling out the militia to prevent further disorder, but Sher- if Thompson made a public statement today denying this.

The lack of definite information Saturday morning and nothing further regarding the situation at Liao Yang is known beyond the fact that Kuro- patkin has withdrawn the main DOT ton of his forces to the north or right bank of the Taitse river and that, according to latest advices, the action is still in progress.
 There is a disinclination in St. Pet ersburg to believe that Liao Yang has been abandoned and at the same time, it is declared that the position Kuro- patl<in now occupies is one he had pre- pared and where he alone planned to make his second stand instead of di- rectly in and around Liao. Yang with the river at his back. as had been be- lieved. It is thought by Russian eX- perts that in attacking Kuropatkin's present defenses the Japanese are fac ing an almost impossible task espec- ially with their forces divided by the river.
  the Taitse is flooded and cannot be forded, and therefore as pointed out in the Associated Press dispatches from St. Petersburg. the river itself becomes an important factor in the general scheme of the Russian de- fense."
 Dispatches from both Russian and Japanese sources indicate that the troops on both sides are jaded and weary after many days fighting and it is pointed out that in consequence, a temporary Hull in the active struggle would not be surprising.
 A dispatch received at Tokio says that great fires are raging at Lao Yang. "believed to have resulted from the Japanese shelling or from the of- forts of the Russians to destroy their stores, preparatory to the evacuation of Liao Yang. with the additional hope of injuring the city as a future Jap anese base"
 The opinion prevails in Tokio that the Russian casualties in the recent fighting will reach 3O,OOO. while the Russian losses of August 31 and Sep tembar 1 are given in the official re- ports as 5000 killed or wounded.
 A report from Marshal Oyama that he was engaged on Thursday with the Russian center would indicate that at least a portion of Kuropatkin's army Taitse river. It is not yet definitely announced that the Japanese have oc- cupied Liao Yang.

a bullet. He turned to run and his stepson, Wells, rushed to his asslst- ance. Wells was shot through the heart and the murderer. le3ping over his body. pursued his aged victim. who had succeeded in reaching cabin uc- cupied by Frisco. There Dunham put the old man out of his misery and also killed Frisco. There were only two persons left alive on the ranch. one was the nun derer and the other his two year old baby boy.
 There was no witness of the tragedy and the foregoing somewhat circum- stantial story of it is made up from ths circumstances which the first horrifle,4 investigators of the tragedy discovere4.
 The motive was not plain IL vas not known that Dunham had had any trouble with his wife or her relatives and it was assumed that he had iz- tended to kill them all. leaving hts baby the sole heir of the estate of Cod. McGlincy.
 Pursuit was begun at once. IL wac only known that the murderer had taken refuge in the Sierras. He Was never afterwards seen in that part OS the country and all the possible out lets having been carefully guarded it was at length believed that he had committed suicide or had otherwise died in the mountains. Rewards aC- gregating $11.00O had been offered and the search was stimulated. Reports of his appearance came from all parts of the country Many of them were investigated at first and were found to be without foundation. Finally active search for him was abandoned
 About a year after the tragedy was reported that he had been seen at Yuma He was next heard of at Hefs mosillo. The news of hss appearapes there was brought to NOgales by a Chinaman who had known him In Cat, .ifornia When they met their recsss- hilton was mutual. They had a coas VersatiOn in the course of which the Chinaman said that Dunham made se appointment to meet him that nizfa. The Chinaman did not keep it. belbsE- ing that he would share the fate Os tA-s McGlincy family. He did not ihfaSm the authorities at HermosillO but took the first train for NOgales where he first made known whom he had seen. The story of his presence in that part of the country was cOrrobOratei by other persons who claimed to have rec ognized him and a great many have since believed that he found refuge In the wilds of the Sierra Madres.
 Durham was thirty-two years old at the time of the commission of this aw- full crime. His reputation had been good.

Paris, Sept. 3.-The Paris edition of the New York Herald prints the fol- lowing from its Geneva correspondent: "A high official of the Ottoman court has received news of a serious fight between the sultan's Albanian guards and the Bosnians, which continued all most to the doors of the harem. Many were killed and wounded.
 Tt is said that one Albanian shot at the sultan, the bullet glancing off the coat of mail which he always wears.
 "The sultan has asked Prince of Montenegro to supply him with a guard.

ST. PETERSBURG HOPEFUL.
Russian Confidence in kuropatkin is
 Unshal<en.

St. Petersburg, Sept. g., 3:10 a. m.-- The text of the dispatch sent to the ear by General Kuropatkin on Thurs day evening, the gist of which was giv- en out by the war office and was C1bled by the Associated Press at f: 30 o'clock Friday afternoon was no5 made public Friday night as was expected. It was promised to the local press and was awaited with feverish impatience un- til o'clock this morning., when it was announced that it would be issued to- day. All the news, therefore, as far as St. Petersburg, is concerned, is con- tained in telegrams from foreign sources, and there is a painful sus- pense awaiting news from Russian sources.
 The continued and dogged confidence in General Kurepatkin is expressed in many quarters and the public generally as well as many of the military author ities, absolutely refuse to believe that Liao Yang has been abandoned. or if it las been abandoned, it is believed that General Kuropatkin is in a position to make better stand north of the Tai tse river. There seemed to be an ai.' of confidence at -Peterhof Friday night. An official who saw the czar on Fri day aftrnoon, said that he was ex- trcmely confident. Experts who are fla miliar with the nature of the intricate and powerful defenses constructed north of the Taitse river by General VelitchkO, one of the Russians fore most army engineers. believe that the Japanese are facing an almost impos- sf!1le task in attacking them, especial ly with divided forces.
 II is pointed out that General KuroH will have to make considerable de- tour to rcunite his forces. The bridge heads abutting on the north bank Of the Taitse river are strongly defended by cntrenched artillery, while 1t is said that there is q strong rear guard still on the south bank to contest the Japanese advance, thus making the bridges utterly imp1acticable for Japanese crossing. The river itself therefore. becomes an important factor in the general scheme of defense. A temporary Hull in the fighting would not be surprising. The men on both sides have already made almost su- perhuman efforts, and there must be let up of some sort.
 The report that Rear Admiral Ouk- tomsky. now in command of the naval forces at Port Arthur. is to be cour. martiale1 lacks confirmation. The
