played in Minneapolis greeting Of the
Liberty Bell to-day.

afternoon when the special train car
rying Americas most revered relic,
and its escort Of honor, steamed into the
Milwaukee station. The train had hardly
come to a stop, when the stirring call
Of a bugle rang on the air. In imme-
date response came the booming Of a
salute Of g guns, fired by Battery B
at the old Haymarket, in remem-
brance Of the original 13 states for
which the bell rang out the glad mes
sage in Its. The first gun was the
signal for a general welcome turnout
the city, almost ear-splitting in it's
clanor, and as full Of patriotism as
it was Of noise. Whistles without
number joined In one tremendous
blast. Bells Changed, and the throng
which had long waited the arrival of
the beloved old bell shouted itself
hoarse. Thru and after 1t all could be
heard the deep, reverberating tones of
the court house chimes ringing out
patriotic airs in a truly American well
come.
The station and adjacent street was
q surging sea Of humanity as the train
stopped, people craning their necks,
standing on ttp-toe, and pushing each
other to get first sight Of liberty's
emblem. T j o u rnal Newsboys'

Lao Yang Battle May be Greatest in
History.

Lao Yang. Manchuria, Aug. 31.-The
mightiest battle of the far eastern war.
perhaps the greatest battle of modern
times, is raging about the walls OF
Liao Yang. Between 100000 and 400.-
600 men are opposed in the struggle
under the banners of the Mikado and
the Czar. The fight viii doubtless set
tie the fate of the campaign.
Thus far the Russians have more
than held their own. Not only have
the islanders failed to disodge the
enemy from any of its positions, not
only have the Muscovite soldiers sue
cessfully resisted all attempts to turn
the flank of the czar's forces, not only
have the japanese losses been heavy
out of all proportion to those of the
Russians--but so fierceiy were several
of their charges hurled back that ten
guns are reported to have fallen into
the hands of the defenders of the forts
of Lao Yang.
For the fury of the fighting the bat
tie has never been surpassed, perhaps
not even equaled. Opening with their
batteries on the Russian position at ;
o'clock yesterday morning, the ground
before them was laid out by the Jap
