To Decide Fate Of Parties in Four
Western States.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-one hundred thou
SAND registered women voters are ex-
pected to decide h fate of the two old
parties in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah

add fourteen electora! votes to the
recorded for the democratic
candidate.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, president of the
Woman's National Republican associ-
alton. has been ent west by the re-
publican committee to labor il the four
states. The number who Wi vote this
year may be more than 100, goo. because
of the Mormon question. which is to
play a prominent part in the campaign
in Utah. Wyoming and Idaho. "
General Miller. former United States
marshal for Utah. was in the city and
told Chairman Cortelyou that Utah

is DEARTH OF NEWS.
St. Petersburg Has Had No Official Re,
Isortc sE.os,, Ero-+


st. Petersburg, Sept. l6.-The con-
tinued delay in the receipt here OF any
thing like Il detailed Official account OF
the battle of Lao Yang OF of the pres
ent situation at the front IS proving
more irritating to the public at st.
Petersburg than any previous phase of
the war, and has given rise to nuner-
u alarmist stories OF the alleged pre-
%earious situation of General kuropat-
kin's army. None of these stories. how-
ever, is traceable to n authentic
source
The fact seems TO be that military OPP
erations in the neighborhocd of Mull-
den are suspended on account of the
effect OF the rains on the roads. There
is no current news to record, while if
General Nuropatkin has transmitted
any full account of the recent great
battle 1t has not been allowed TO circu-
late. The persistent silence is doing
more than anything else to discredit
the Russian commander in chief i'm the
eyes of h public With whom he has
heretofore been AN almost deified hero.
Reports that the Chinese are making
preparations 10 occupy conquered terri
tory are creating II ~uneasiness, for
China has been all along an uncertain
quantity from Which amy development
or complication might be expected. No
knows precisely what pressure,
~ II I'oiitlCftl, INC Japanese may
be able to bring to bear upon the grea,
silent empire.
There have been no developments re-
garding the case of the Russian trans
port Lena in the harbor of San Fran
cisco, beyond those noted in Tuesdays
dispatches to the Associated Press.
While it seems almost Incredible that
he admiralty remains in ignorance OF
of the Lena's mission and Whereabouts,
sue seems to be the case. 1t appears
that h vessel was acting wholly I'M
der the orders of Vice Admiral Skryd-
loft and that he had not reported con
corning the Lena. or If he had done Sc
the repor had not reached the admir-.
atty.

THEIR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT.
Japanese Correspondent Considers Bat
tie of Lao Yana a Bio Nictorx

tile of Lao Yang a Big Victory.
General Kuroki's Headquarters in the
Field, Near LA Yang, Sept. SIDE
layed in misunderstanding battle of
Lao Yang was a magnificent victory,
of which the japanese have great rea-
son to be proud. although they were
unable to realize their hopes of another
Sedan.
The execution of a campaign by the
Japanese upon such a vast scale
against an army probably their SUI
perior in numbers and possessing more
modern guns of greater caliber and
range than theirs, established behind
Notifications of great completeness and
unprecedented extent, and held by
Skilled commanders, eXcites the great
est admiration of the military critics.
1t is unquestioned that at Lilac Yang
General kuropatkin expected to turn
the tide of wal against the Japanese.
1T would now appear that the fighting
OF the past few weeks-since the failure
OF he Russian movement to the south
was not expected to be decisive, but
was a series of preliminary operations
conducted for the purpose of harassing
the japanese n gaining time for the
crucial struggle. The foreign military
observers with the Japanese army find
convincing evidences that Genera Ku-
ropatkin planned to defeat the Japan
csc armies in detail and Their to dis
patch a powerful column to the south
for the relief of Port Arthur, and they
are of the opinion that with. the thir-
teen divisions at his command General
could have accomplished
this had the qualities of his officers and
soldiers equaled those of the Japanese.
Not until the night of September 8.
after hVe days of continuous battle. did
the Russians take the first steps of the
retreat: With an almost unfordable
ana wide river at his back, and a
strong force Of Japanese opposing him
in the rear and on the flank, General
kuropatkin was able to withdraw his
army without losing a single gun.
one result of this battle has been to
give the japanese a much higher
pinto of the abilities of their antap-
onists than the exhibitions at the Yalu
river ana elsewhere compelled them to
entertain. Today the Japanese army is
self possessed, and it has INDUCED in
no demonstration of rejoicing.
The work done by the Russians in
preparing the neighborhood of Lao
Yang to be a theater of battle is of in
credlbte magnitude. In addition. to the
extensive Notifications on the south Of
- the Taitse river, there were prac.
ticolly three lines of defenses for the
protection of eastern approaches of the
railroad. which in themselves consti-
tutcd a formidable battle arena.
The fighting was carried right I'D to
the railroad line, but Notwithstanding
the fact that the japanese shelled the
last train which left Lao Yang on the
way to Mukden. it was impossible for
them to intercept any of the Russian
rear guard.
Terrors of the Battlefield.
The territory north of he river which
was fought over by the %contending
armies presents a terrible picture Of
the results of war. The fields are dug
with hundreds of lines of trenches

The sensational report circulated by

northeast of Mukden, but the authors

March 28, which says that an i'm
portant engagement took place
near the town of Chung Ju in which
the Russians were defeated, retir-

The japanese suffered heavily.
The Russian losses were three
officers seriously, one slightly and
a number of Cossacks killed and

Cavalry and infantry on both
sides were engaged. The Russians

The Japanese fought gallantly
but owing to their heavy losses
were unable to occupy the position
abandoned by the Russians.
