TWO ARMIES HoTLY ENGAGED
In Far East 1t Is Thought a Battle Is
Under Way Which VIII Decide tho
Controversy Between Russia and

u. Petersburg, August SO.-2:32
.m.-The long-expected battle at
Lao Yang has began, and the two ar.
mics are now fighting what probably
will prove to be the decisive battle
of the campaign.
The Japanese are attacking General
Kuropatkin's forces upon his chosen
ground, and his friends and admirers
here are confident that having accept.
ed general engagement, he will de.
feat the Japanese. In a brief tele.
gram received this morning, Kuropat,
kin says the general advance of the
Japanese began yesterday at noon, the
Russian outposts falling back upon
the main lines. The heaviest fighting
was taking place when his dispatch
was sent, from q point 10 miles south.
east of Lao Yang, where the Japanese
seemed to be concentrating for their
main blow.
The Russians suffered principally
from the shrapnel fire or the Japa-
nese artillery. The Japanese select
ed the mikado's birthday for the de-.
cisive battle, and 1t will not be sur.
prising if today is also slgnalized by
grand assault on Port Arthur. The
Russian forces are disposed at LIao
Yang to meet the onslaught OF
three Japanese armies described in
these dispatches yesterday. The tel
egram from Kuropatkin, which gives
this information, together with the de.
tails of. the retirement OF the Russian
troops upon Liao Yang, have not been
given out, for strategetic reasons.

RAINY HOLLOW
 COMING COUNTRY

That the Rainy Hollow district is one with promising future is the firm con. viction of J J. McKenna, who has rep resented the British Columbian govern ment in that section for so long time, He says they have copper deposits of al- most unlimited amounts and of great richness, and that with transportation facilities, the country will become a center of mining activity. The con struction of an electric line to that country is among the plans for next year.
 "Bnly Burnham," said Mir McKen- na, 'has put tunnel into his claim 90 feet deep and 60 feet from the surface. At that depth he has croSscut F foot vein of the very richest kind of bOrniie. His claim and those of Dick Kennedy, Dan Sullivan, and NJ. J, O'Coauor, who are now in Skagway, and Dr.. $ A. Fraser, are, very rich. Experts from Montana and Colorado have visited the district last summer and they prOnOun- ced it as first class in all respects.
 "Caliiornia and Texas capitalists have become interested in the country and I expect the plans for constru' ting an electric railway over the easy grade A miles from Haines to bear fruit within another year, The p an is 10 use the water power furnished by the Chilkat river to generate the eleCtricity.'
 Mir. McKenna, who is well and fdvor- ably known all over the North, left on the Princess May for the south last night.

GOvERNMtNf WILL
 RETURN MONEY

As was stated nearly month ago it would do, the federal government has notified the Skagway wood choppers they will have the money they deposit ed for payment Of the stumpage on wood cut on government land returned to them, and civil action will be com menced for the recovery of $5 per cord for all the wood cut. It will be remem- bered that the wood choppers acknow- ledged cutting the wood on the govern ment lands and offered p cenIs per cord in payment for the stumpage The government has insisted upon receiv- ing So per cord for the wood cut, and will sue for that sum. It will not only hold the wood choppers for that amount but will bod the consumers of the wood.
 Letters were received yesterday by all the Skagway Vood choppers and all others concerned from P. NJ. Mu'- len, receiver of public moneys at the Juneau land .oifice, stating that the money deposited would be returned to I. N. Wilcoxen, attorney for the men, upon receipt of vouchers signed by the men making the deposits.
 It is understood that the matter will also be presented to the grand jury, but it is not regarded as likely that any in- dictments will be returned.
