AN INTERESTING
SCHOOL TEACHER.

Europe has a plucky school teacher
in the person of a Swiss girl. who re
turned to her native land not long ago
after having made trip around the
world. paying all her expenses and
making her way by teaching school
in the various countries she passed
through. 1t took her nearly ten
Years to accomplish it. During that
time she never met with an accident
never missed a boat or train, never
was robbed, and was accorded respect
full treatment on all sides. Sometimes
the funds in her purse ran low, but
she was in want at no time. Courage
and tact We're the weapons by which
she conquered. In rare cases she en-
tered lands where there were no pupils
available. Then she would draw from
her store of money and travel on to
where students We're to be found.
She reports that Australia is a fire
country for teachers, the pay being
higher there than elsewhere. Almost
without exception she lear cd as much
from her pupils as she taught them.

the extreme left flank of the Russian army. The attempt was only discover ed in the nlck of time. Some of the Russian troops fought continuously for thirty-siX hours. The concussion and roar of guns shook the windows at Liao Yang, though the artillery was six to eight miles away.
 Nemirovich Danchenko, the famous Russian war correspondent, describing the battle says: The enemy, drunk with their former successes, attacked from three sides like mad men. When they were hurled back, fresh troops, of which they seemed to have an inex- haustible supply were sent forward"
 N. Dauchenko says the combatants had about 500 guns on each side, and adds; Tt was our first victory. The enemy was beaten back everywhere many of. his batteries were destroyed, and in some cases his infantry was put to rout."

NO MORE RETRIEVING.
A Knowledge of it Buoyed up the Rus
 sian Soldiers.

Liao Yang, Aug. 31.-A Russian cor respondent says: The Japanese all day yesterday carried on the fight with an energy approaching desperation. but the Russians were buoycd up in the belief that a point had been reach ed where there would be no more re- treating and the Japanese. attacks were met with shouts and hurrahs from trenches and rifle pits.
 Five times the Japanese hurled themselves against our line, but each time they were repulsed at the point of the bayOnet. There were about one thousand guns in action on each side, but We have more guns emplaced than have the Japanese.
 The losses cannot be computed, but they have been great everywhere, esp cially among artillery men. For in . stance, in the first artillery brigade every officer was either killed or wounded and some of the guns were silenced absolutely owing to the death of all the gun crews. The spirits of the men are of the highest at all points"

MET ON THE GRAND TRUNK
A Canadian Collision in Which Mine
 Were Killed.

Montreal, Aug. 31.-Nine persons were killed and twenty-three- others in Jured in headon collision on the Grand Trunk railway near Richmond. Quebec, today. The trains involved were a special, excursion from Mon treal bound for Sherbrooke and pas senger train No. 5, running between Island Pond, Vermont, and Montreal.
 The following is a list of the killed:
 J. B. BLANCHETT,, NJ. P, St. Hya- cinth.
 FRED BORING, South Durham.
 Y. H. HACKETT, Montreal.
 Unknown man from Beloit, r. e.

 CHAS. A. SAMARD, St. Hyacinth.
 A. THEODORE RICHARD, Lisgar. Quebec.
 The excursion train, made up of ten coaches and a baggage car, carried about one thousand persons bound for the exhibition at Sherbrooke. The Isl- and Pond train was composed of five coaches apd a baggage car and had only a small number of persons on board. The excursion train had bare ly cleared the Richmond yard when rounding a curve, it met the Island Pond train running at a high rate of speed. The engineers reversed and, with their firemen, jumped and escap- ed with minor in iuries
 Both engines were locked firmly to- gether. The baggage car of the ex- cursion train was picked up and dropped on~ top of the car following it. the smoker, and it was on these two cars that the greater number of fatal itieS occurred.

A NEW SENSATION.
St. Petersburg at Last Has Cause for
 Rejoicing.

St. Petersburg, August 31.-Success crowned the Russian army on the first day of tine great battle of Liao Yang and the utmost confidence prevails here that the issue of the fight will be a complete victory for General Kuro- patkin. From dawn until dark yester- day the battle ragged, first in the cen ter and left and then on the right of the Russian line. The Japanese charged gallantly and fought desper- ately to break the center and then in the afternoon came the movement against the opposite flank. This at tack was delivered from the west, but General Kuropatkin had evidently an- ticipated just what happened, for he not only met and repulsed it.. but ac- tually was able by a superior force to overlap and envelop the Japanese. Last night both armies bivouacked in their positions.
 No attempt was made by Lieutenant General Sakharoff in his report to esti- mate the Japanese losses, except to say that they were extremely heavy and the Russian losses were only approXi- mated at 5000. No Russian genearl of ficers fell.
 General Kuropatkin's forces occupied

positions forming a semi-circle about Liao Yang, the Hanks resting on the Taitse river, east and west of the city, The battle divided itself into two per- iods. After the preliminary lombard ment of the Russian lines on the right and center, the Japanese infantry ad- vanced to attack, charging the Russian center Although repeatedly checked they came on with bull dog tenacity, hurling themselves against the Rus sian positions with the bayonet. There were many bloody hand to hand en- counters. By noon the Japanese ac- tually succeeded in occupying a DOT tion of the Russian trenches. Then General Kurcpatkin sent forward the reserves and delivering a series of counter attacks, recaptured the lost positions and drove back the Japanese all along the line.
 The attack on the center having failed, the second half of the fight be- gan at four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese tried to turn and roll up the Russian right. Here also they failed, but only after a desperate struggle which was continued until 9 o'clock at night. The reserves des- patched in time by Generali Kuropat- kin at last succeeded not only in check ing The Japanese, but in enveloping them and driving them back in con- fusion. During the progress of the battle General Kuropatkin encouraged his men on the fighting line by sending out the news of the repulse of the at- tack upon Port Arthur on August 26.
 The Japanese flank movement from the west began Monday from Chandi- GlUdzi, three miles southeast of Sha khe, which IS eleven miles northwest of Liao Yang. One of the striking fea- lures of the battle was the splendid work of the Russian artillery, in which arm the Japanese have heretofore ex- celled. In a dispatch filed last night by one of the Associated Press Rus- sian correspondents, he says that the report was current at Liao Yang that forty-six Japanese guns were captur- ed during the day.
 There is great rejoicing in St. Pe- tersburg about the bulletin boards. The dispatches posted there are sur rounded by eager crowds. The officials of the war office, although they have not yet received advices in regard to today's events, are in high spirits. The Japanese who have been continually advancing for a week, are now said to be utterly exhausted after yesterdays hard and unsuccessful fighting, and no doubt exists here that if opportunity offers General Kuropatkir will not faii to follow up the advantage he has achieved.

Consuelo &. held at even money against the field. was very rank in scoring for the open ing heat and delayed the start for some time. When finally the word was given Tiverton shot across to the pole, with the favorite in hot pursuit. These relative positions were main tained to the wire, the former winning by a length.
 The second heat was a duplicate of the first, and then the judges took a hand in the affair, removing Smith from behind Sweet Marie and substi- tuting Alta Mcdonald. For the third neat Tiverton led to well beyond the half, when Sweet Marie moved up and they raced like a team to the seven elghts pole. At this point, the New York gelding weakened and Sweet Marie won by a length. The time for the heat, 2:06 IA, is the race record for the year made by trotters. This was the decisive point in the contest. Tor While Tiverton tried his hardest In the next two heats Sweet Marie held him safely.
 The aggregate time of the five heats IS the worlds record, lowering that in the famous stallion race at. Readville In the Cresceus- Charley Perr memor- able turf battle. Prince Alert was driven to beat the worlds record of l:59 1-4 and failed by l 1-4 seconds.

ST. PETERSBURG TREMBLEs.
The Defeat of One Side or the Oother
 Will hc Crushing.

St. Petersburg. Sept 1.-2 a. m- With the knowledge that the Russian and Japanese armies about Liao Yang are locked in a death struggle the tension in St. Petersburg tonight is strained to the utmost. It is believed here that the fight cannot stop short of the crushing defeat of one side or the other. All reports so far are fav- orable to the Russians, though a sus- pension of all news for many hours has been exceedingly trying and has given rise to several rumors somewhat tempering the earlier enthusiasm.
 It is stated officially however that the report that the railway and tele- graph have been cut north of Lao Yang is untrue. A member of the gen. eral staff said to the Associated Press at midnight: "I can assure you that up to this hour communica ton with Liao Yang has not been interrupted. General Kuropatkin has taken par- ticular precautions against any at tempt to cut the railway. While it is always possible that small raiding party might slip through the Russian patrols or that hired Chinese bandits

BEGAN WITH THE DAWN.
Japanese Fail ct Hill Shaved by
 Russian Artillery.

Liao Yang, Aug. 31.-The second days battle commenced at dawn. The Russians made repeated bayonet ad. VEnces on the road directly south of Liao Yang where the Japanese ap- preached from Sanquaiship and Tao. shelling positions in the Russian lines until o'clock in the afternoon when the engagement, which was general throughout the south and southeast, narrowed to the main line. The Jap- anese advance on the southeast was by way of the Feng Wang Chang road. Immediately in front of Chiao Fantun the Japanese stubbornly attempted to occupy round topped hill, which was literally shaved by Russian shells, making repeated attempts the entire cay where apparently it was impos- slble for anything to live. The can- nonading continued from this point to the vicinity of Wargpaotai until even- Ing without apparent advantage to either side. The Japanese dropped shells within two or three miles of the railroad station and in the plain of the Wentshu mountains, which is the most important eminence around Liao Yang. but the Japanese abandoned aggression there on account of the resistance they met. There was d cannon fire last night and this is expected nightly.
 The varied casualties here include one Russian war correspondent wound cd and also 25 Chinese women from Chiao Fantun, whom Dr. Westwater. the distinguished millionaire, is caring for in the Chinese Red Cross refuge. The days developments show that the Russians are prepared for all emergen- cies. A slow rain began to fall at noon, gradually transforming the plain into a wilderness, through which the wounded, in carts and walking, are tonight making their way to the hos pitals.
 Considering the scale of the days opeations the number of the Russian wounded i3 apparently small, while the Japanese losses are believed to be great; especially where they were re- pulsed on the south road. Chinese groves of trees are being levelled about Liao Yang in order not to interfere with the defense.
 Developments are expected west and northeast.

A SHOW FOR LAO YANG.
There was the Accompaniment of
 Shrieking Shells.

Liao Yang, Aug. 3O.-(Tuesday0- The town has been filled with joy, ow- ing to the report that the Russians took forty-six cannon today.
 The Japanese assault on the Russian center was desperate in the extreme. The Japanese losses were great. The att tack was sustained mainly by the Eighth Siberian regiment. The fight ing at Vafangow cannot be compared with what occurred today. Shells shrieked over the town from early morning. ePople who occupied posi- tions on the house tops had a magni- ficent spectacle. Rain has begun to fall.
Arizona republican., 1904-09-01

The news silence regarding the bat tie of Liao Yang-perhaps to be regard ed as the most sanguinary in the his tory of warfare-which began with dis patches to the Associated Press direct from the battlefield late Tuesday night, was broken by the dispatches received yesterday saying that fighting had been resumed at dawn that morning and that firing extended along the en- tire line, some seven miles in extent.
 A dispatch from Liao Yang received late in the afternoon told of repeated bayonet advances on the road directly south of Liao Yang, where the Rus sians shelled the Japanese positions un- til o'clock in the afternoon when the engagement. which was general throughout the south and southeast, narrowed to the main line. Cannonad- ing continued until evening without advantage on either side.
 A sudden termination of direct dis patches gave rise to the belief that communication had been cut north of Liao Yang, but it is officially stated from St. Petersburg that this was in correct. It is positively stated in st. Petersburg that the emperor received yGSleIudy d ITOIlb Liao Yang. The contents of this dis patch, however, were not disclosed
 A Liao Yang dispatch filed at 5:2I p. m. says that the Japanese were get ting around the Russian left flank while d later dispatch stated that the Russians had effected an advance along the railway to the southward, from which direction the Russians had retreated before the battle of Liao Yang was begun.
 Reports reaching St. Petersburg are to the effect that the results so fa~ have been favorable to the Russians. Dispatches estimate the Japanese force at about 240,000 men and the Russians at from rocco to 2CC,OO0 men with from eco to 1000 guns engaged on each side.
 According to official Japanese dis patches neither contestant has realiz- ed any visible results.

RUSSIAN LOSSES.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 31.-Lieutenant General Sakharoff, telegraphing the general staff at the conclusion of yes terday's sixteen hours fighting around Liao Yang, estimates the Russian ca- sualties throughout the day at 3OOO The battle ended at nine last night. when many positions occupied by the Japanese, were retaken and held by the Russians.

Liao Yang, Aug. 31.-The battle is still in progress, but in strength of cannonade does not equal that of yes terday. The Japanese are getting around the Russian left flank.
 Over 500,000 men and 13,O00 guns are engaged on both sides. Practically the whole Russian force is on the firing line.
 One regiment which had just arrived from Russia went into action with it's band playing.

might cut the telegraph, it is a fairer supposition, in view of all the facts, that this has not been done.'
 The highest military authorities here consider that the most critical stage of the battle has not yet been reached and they believe that the fight may con- tinue for some time before either side acknowledges defeat. This is an inn pOrtant consideration by the light Of which to interpret any immediate news.
 It is thought here that in view of the numbers engaged, the desperate ness of the assaults and length of tho line about seven miles, the losses Tn the two days fighting cannot fall short of 10000 on each side. Both sides are straping every nerve, realizing that the fortunes of the war for a whole in the mood or position to spare men in the mood of position to- spare men In an effort to achieve final victory.
 The battle of Liao Yang will prob ary battles of history It is estimat- rd by the general staff that the Jap anese armies engaged numbered sev- enteen divisions of 15,000 men each, or allOWinS ineficients. about 240,00O men. Each division has thirty-six guns, and there are two independent artillery bri- gades of loo guns each, making a total of about 500 guns. Estimates of the Russian correspondents range from COG to 1000 guns per side.
 Tn the preliminary fighting of Mon day the Russians captured 200 pris- oners who have already arrived as Harbin and report persists that they captured over forty Japanese guns yesterday. General Kuropatkin's ef- fective forces are variously estimated at from 17O,OOO to 100000 men.
 The Japanese are using balloons to locate the Russian guns. One of the Russian correspondents of the Asso- ciated Press points out that the Jap anese sent up a balloon shortly after daylight 10 drop shells into the Rus sian positions. These probably are the etis.. angle howitZers which were re- ported in action earlier in the week.
 IL is plain however, that the Japan csc are no longer enjoying superiority in artillery, which stood them in such good stead in the earlier months of .he war. It was then hill fighting and the Japanese mountain batteries, in which arms the Russians were deficient, told with deadly effect. Now the contest is in a comparatively open country, where both Russian field guns and Russian cavalry can come into more effective use.
