Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Across the
continent by automobile in scarcely
thirty three days is the remarkable
record achieved by L. L. Whitman of
Los Angeles, who to-day completed
transcontinental run to this city in a
light ten horsepower Franklin car. The
best previous time for the trip was cut
almost in half, and the little four-cyl
inder machine dashed along Jerome
avenue in New York as if it's journey
might have been only begun.
San Francisco was left at o'clock
in the evening of August l. and Cen
trail bridge. New York, was reached at
1890 o'clock this afternoon. BY the
route followed more than 1900 miles
was Travelled, the average run being
nearly 40 miles daily. On several days
more than 200 miles were covered, and
on other days the mileage was light
to give the tourists an opportunity to
rest.
With Whitman throughout was G.. S.
Corris of Syracuse, N. Y. and the pair
alternated in driving the car.
Whitman and Corris officially ter
minated the journey at the rooms of
the Automobile Club of America. where
Whitman delivered to w. T. Scarritt,
president of the club. letter intrusted
to him by r. p. Schwerin. president of
the Automobile Club of California.
Scarritt indicated the widespread eff
feet of the record ride when he mailed
an answer to Schwerin tonight.

NEW BURG RUNS
ASHORE In BAY.
She Was Bound to Sea in a
Dense Fog and Drifted on
Sand East of Fort Point
STICKS IN EBB TIDE
Vessel Is Not in Danger and
Will Be lowed Off at
High Water This Morning

Creeping out of the harbor under
slow bell in a dense fog last night
about $50, the Pollard Company's
steamer Newburg, Captain B. Anfind-
sen, went aground inside of Fort Point,
500 yards west of the Fort Point Life
Saving Station and about 100 yards
from shore. The tide was about half
high running out and the vessel settled
easily down in the sand. Her engines
were backed, but the steamer stuck
hard and fast.
The Newburg left her berth at Mis-
sion street wharf about 1850, bound for
Grays Harbor. with full cargo and ten
passengers. The life saving crew i'm
mediately boarded the steamer and
brought Captain Anfindsen ashore. He
telephoned a Redstack tug to pull his
vessel off the beach in the morning at
high tide, which will be at about $50.
The steamer lies in an easy position
and there being no swell is not in the
slightest danger. Captain Anfindsen
says it was so foggy he could not see
the lights and he was too far inside
the bay to get his bearings from the
sound of the foghorns outside.

ONE OF WORLDS GREAT FIGHTS
Conflict ar LiaOyang Will Take a Fore
most Place in History.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 4. $50 a.
m.-The battle Of LiaOyang, which be-
gan with the japanese advance on Au-
gust "A, the day Of the christening Of
the CzaTeVitch, and concluded on Sat
Urday, September ), with the retreat Of
General kurOpatkin, is believed 10
have been the longest and the bloodiest
Of history. Numerous incidents in the
lighting upset the theory evolved by
experiences in the Boer war. that a
modern battle must necessarily be
fought at long rance. Both sides re-
peatediy came TO hand-to-hand en-
counters in bayOnet charges. and the
men on both sides We're often SO near
one another that they could distinguish
features ana hear words Of comment.

save III some Of the desperate encoun-
teIs Of the American Civil War.
Correspondents state that several of
the bayOnet attacks made by the jap
aEese throughout the battle were
forced by the depletion Of ammunition.
Of which modern arms entail such ex-
traNagant expenditure. The japanese
came on with empty guns and with
hopes Of finishing the attack with cold
steel, but il was proved at their own
cost that such attack could not be
driven home in the face of the fire of
breachlOaoing guns.
The Russian artillerymen suffered
terribly IN the prolonged fighting south
OF the Taitse River. One battery lost
forty men killed and the remainder
wounded, and when a fresh battery
was brought I'd into position the sur
ViVOrs protested with tears at being
removed, begging TO be allowed TO die
beside their own guns.
The work Of The Red Cross Society,
which, throughout the war, has been
devoted 70 both sides. proved almost

as did the work Of the combatants.
Many bearers and their assistants have
been killed or wounded in attending

was killed and surgeon wounded in
the final assaults on Liaoyang.
Telegraph operators and correspon-
dents have suffered severely. Two cor
respondents Of the Associated Press
have been shot and one has been dec
GRATED for bravery.
During the ten days fighting the
condition Of the soldiers Of both armies
has been Ditiable. Many Of the Jana
nese prisoners were starving and al
most naked when captured, which
speaks volumes for japanese endur-
ance.
II is wonderful that the commissary
arrangements made it possible TO con-
tinue TO supply the men during such
continuous battle. The Russians
were better fed, being nearer their
own base, but the terrible strain Of
the continuous fighting caused some

Farmers Are Fighting the Winged
Pests in Vain Effort to Save
Their Grain

STERLING, ILL.,, Sept. 3.-Thou-
sands of blackbirds. the numbers Of
which are constantly increasing, are
attacking the corn fields and small
grain in this section, greatly to the
alarm Of the farmers, whose harvests
are gradually disappearing into the
capacious crops" of the little visi-
tants. Armies of men are fighting the
birds in an endeavor to save their
grain, but little progress in that di-
rection is being made.
The birds are attracted by the
threshing operations and the immen-
sity of their numbers renders the
fight against them practically futile
Small boys are employed to fire off
guns at intervals, but even this meth
Cd is failing. 1t is expected that the
damage done by the birds will be con-
siderable.
