BATTLE RAGING
AWFUL CONFLICT AT LAO YANG.
Greatest Battle Of the War Has Lasted
Two Days.-News From Rus
sian Sources Leave Result
in Doubt.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 81. 5:55 a. NJ
The great battle of Lao Yang, which
began early Tuesday morning. ragged
throughout the day with increasing in
tensity, but up to this hour no further
official details but the two brief tele-
grams of the afternoon have been
given out.
Every confidence is expressed in
General Kuropatkin's ability to meet
the Japanese assault on ground Of his
own choosing, but the city is hungrily
~awaiting further news of the progress
ssJf the fight.
The japanese forces engaged in this
battle can only be estimated here, but
they are believed to number about
100000 men. General Kuropatkin is
known to have six army corps, besides
147 squadrons of cavalry in which
great confidence is reposed. bringing
up the Russian total to about the
same number that the Japanese have.
How the armies compare with re-
gard to artillery is not definitely
known, though throughout the war
the Japanese have shown great pref
erence for this arm and great skill in
its use. Reports from the front credit
the Japanese with having about 1900
guns, and many mountain batteries,
and it is known that they recently
shipped twenty-four heavy guns to
Yinkow. Four Of these already have
been mentioned in these dispatches as
being in action.
General Kuropatkin. in addition to
his field batteries, has a number Of
very heavy guns emplaced at import
ant positions at Lao Yang, where the
Russians have been strongly fortfy-
ing for some time. The Japanese
claim to have captured two field bat
teries during the past two days. Rus
sian officials accounts admit the loss
of only six guns.
1t is stated that Japanese battery
was captured south of Anshanshan
during the preliminary fighting. and
that several japanese guns have been
destroyed since then.
Little of the strategical situation
has developed so far. Official news
from the front says that there was
desperate fighting on the southern
center, while from information from
other sources it appears that the
Japanese are endeavoring to turn the
Russian right from the neighborhood
of the junction of the Taitse and
Sakhe rivers. The fighting on the
western flank appears to have ap-
preached within three miles OF Lao
Yang

The Electric Mixer.

A United States consul in Germany
reports the following in the consular
report;
In the newly invented apparatus
for milking cows by electricity rub
Der hoods are attached to the udder
of the COW. These hoods are con
nected with a vessel for receiving
the milk by means of a rubber tube,
from which the air is exhausted by
means of an electrical device. Il is
claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the
sucking of a calf, and for this reason
the COW lets down" her milk more
freely than when MIXED by hand
1t is also claimed that absolute
cleanliness of the milk may be Sc
cured when this method of milking
is employed.

was done by men employed by the
companies, and the miners declared
these men, to retain their places,
had to be So partial to the companies
that the miners lost much.
The commission decided that when
a majority of the miners at any col
hery believed they were not getting
fair treatment in this particular
they could, by a majority request,
insist on the employment of a check
docking and a check weighing boss
to hook after their interests, these
bosses to be paid by the miners.
Although it is l 5 months since the
award became effective, it is enforced
at comparatively few coilieries, the
operators having endeavored by de-
lays, disputes and other methods to
hamper the miners in requesting the
employment of these bosses. They
first disputed about the correct in
depreciation of the award The con-
citation board acted upon it, the
vote was a tie and the matter was
then referred to Umpire Carroll d.
Wright. His decision favored the
miners. Later he made another de-
eision and followed it by an opinion
expressed in a letter to District Pres
ident T. d. Nichols, of the United
Mine Workers of America.
The substance of these decisions
and the opinion was that at any col
