Hayashi, the Japanese minister in London

Before the war we demanded that Rus

The next battle will be at Tie pass. we

Chinese refuse assistance to the Russians

Nevertheless, although animated by un-
doubted sympathy from the Japanese, the
Chinese are not yet confident of an ulti-
mate japanese victory, and thus they seek
to avoid an open rupture. The abandon

The Gear to Kuropatkin.

Il see from your report that you were un-
able to hold the fortress of Liaoyang.
owing to the enemy threatening to cut of
your communication. The retreat OF the
whole army in such difficult circumstances
and over such terrible roads was an opera
ton excellently carried out in the face OF
grave difficulties. I thank you and your
splendid troops for their heroic work and
continued self-sacrifice. God guard you.
NICHOLAS"
Commenting on his majesty's message,
Gen. kuropatkin says it contains further
expression of lofty benevolence on the part
of the emperor, and adds:
Il ain quite sure that in the work that
lies before the Manchurian army every
soldier will put forth his best efforts to
achieve victory over the enemy and be-
come worthy of the confidence of the en-
peror."
Kuropatkin ordered the emperors mes

Serious Engagement is
Immediately at Hand.

Advices from Mukden and an official re-

Gen. Kuropatkin's reconnoissances estab-
lish the fact that they are massing on ms
east flank and the bodies of Japanese are
moving up the Lao river valley. ST. Peters
burg, however, still believes that a serious
engagement is not Immediately at mana,
but that it will require some weeks for
Marshal Oyama to be in shape for another
attack In the meantime the Russians con-
tinue to fortify Tie Pass and statements
that Kuropatkin will not abandon Mukden

skepticism. st. Petersburg expects the

ST PETERSBURG, September 16.-News
from the front is exceedingly meager and
the present lull in operations in Manchuria
is expected to continue for several weeks.
Ever since General kuropatkin's retreat

MENACE TO PEACE IN o. NJ.
w. MEETING AT CHICAGO

The 18th annual convention of the
United Mine Workers Of Illinois will
meet in Chicago tomorrow. In
some ways this promises to be a
meeting of great interest, not alone
to the miners and operators, but to
the business interests of the state
generally. \ cloud no bigger than a
mans hand is in the horizon, and
though it has not assumed proper
tions of much consequence as yet. it
certainly contains grave possibilities.
1t will be recalled that At a national
meeting the L. NJ. w. y. held at In
dianapoIis, the operators of western
Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio and Indi-
ana made a demand for a general re-
duction in the scale of about Is per
cent. This the national convention re-
fused to accede to, and the matter is
still in allegiance. The same, or a
similar demand, it is rumored, will he
made at the state convention. No no.
tice of il seems to have been given,
but among members of the organiza-
ton il is rather expected.
Should the demand he promulga ed
il will not he acceded to. 1t is the
sense of many of the delegates that
any proposition tending to a reduc-
tion of wages or increase of hours
should and will be turned down. The
L. NJ. W. \. Of Illinois are satisfied
with prevailing conditions and will
make no important changes in the
scale from that now in force, which
appears to be satisfactory.
