Attach Undue Importance.

ST. Petersburg, September 5.-(6;15 a. m)-The Novosti commenting on the abandonment of Liao Yang says that the foreign press attaches undue importance to it's effect on the war. There could have been only one issue of the fight which might definitely have settled the whole campaign, namely, the utter and crushing defeat of the Japanese, says the paper, and since that has not occurred there must be other battles. The fight ing near Liao Yang is now approaching it's continuation. the Novosti continues. but whatever it's final issue it cannot be regarded as the last word.
 The war turns on deeper questions than the immediate possesslon of disputed po- sition, and 1t can only be settled on terms of peace satisfactory to Russia with re- gard to her position in the far east.

SENDING COCAINE
 FIENDS TO FARM
JUDGE FEAcIN IS AFTER THE DOPE" TAKERS AND IS TRYING TO RID THE CITY OF THEM.

Judge Feagin Is making an effort to get rid of the confirmed cocaine and nor phine flends of Birmingham in somewhat the same manner that he Is disposing of the little negro boys and the wayward women.
 The decree has been issued, and to the country these unfortunates must go. As fast as they are brought Into the police court they will be sent to the sticks of Alabama. there to live and reside as long as possible without the insidious drug which is playing havoc with many.
 Two of the female hends were sent to the country Saturday, and they were told that if they ever appeared here again they would be so severely dealt with that they would rue the day. Another was turned loose on her oath in court that she never touch another bit of "coak" in her life.
 Maud and Alice Crowder, mother and daughter, negroes, were sent to Sylas, Ala, where they will live on a farm and far from the places where the drug Is kept It is a very doubtful matter if they can resist the temptation to get the drug but Judge Feagln says the city must be rid of such women.
 Bob McManus a wh4-e boy about H years old is still in the city jail and has five charges hanging over his head as a result of his love for dope" The last charge was for stealing % cents from an- other prisoner in Jail with which to buy cocaine as soon as he had the opportu- nity.

 On September g. the fourth day of the battle of Liao Yang, and the tenth of the general advance, the battle commenced at dawn on both sides of the Taitse river. The Japanese advanced early in the morning in the direction of the Yentai mines, which were defended by twelve battalions. Owing to the superiority of the Japanese, this force was giving away preparatory to retiring on it's position. when fresh men were brought up, which enabled it to retake its former position.
 From the left bank of the Taitse the Japanese consistently bombarded Liao Yang, their shells reaching as far as the railway station.
 Assaults Are Persistent.
 The Russian troops on September l oc- cupied the main line, where the Jap anese assaults were persistent and dead ly, and the Russians not only stood off the Japanese lines, and occupied the vil- lage in front of the position.

DONNELLY SAYS
 IT MEANS NOTHING
RETURN,To WORK OF NEW YORK STRIKERS WILL HAVE NO MATE RIAL EFFECT ON SITUATION IN CHICAGO.

chicago, September 4-The return to work of the o50O strikers in New York City will have no material effect upon the gen eral situation in the stockyard strike ac- cording to President Donnely of the butchers union. In an address this after noon before an audience of CG0O strikers and their friends, MT. Donnelly declared that the desertion of the New York mem- bers of the union made no change in his plans to tie up the meat industry of the country this week.
 ''The action O. the New York strikers. who are said to have voted to desert us. said MT. DonLelly. was not entirely un- looked for. Their grievances were not as great as ours; they quit work merely in sympathy with the strike of the western members of the butchers union. Before next Saturday night I expect there will be fully 800 more workmen involved in the struggle, and the product of the New York plants will not break the tie-up planned for this week. It has been pre- dicted by many that the strike would be called off before today. but we are still in the struggle, and will remain. It would not be fair to us If l called the strike off. You empowered me to start 1t and you will have to instruct me by a general vote to end 1t. Let no one be discouraged if the fight seems to drag along We will be all the stronger and Will secure bet ter settlement if we stay out for seven or eight weeks longer"
 e. E. Schmidt. vice president of the Meatcuttters' union in California. also addressed the strikers. He, like MT. Don- nelly, declared victory would follow if the strikers would remain out about two months longer.

Butte, Mont, September IA story hav- ing been widely published to the effect that Senator Clark of this state had been assaulted in Missoula and had sought pro- teetion in a hotel. Senator Clark has au- thorized the Associated Press to make a denial of the story.
 In a signed statement Senator Clark says:
 "The story was unwarranted perversion of the facts. MT. Godfrey Lauzier and MT. Wethey were with me at the time, and they file confirmatory statements that the man did not speak word to me, and that I did not speak to him. He ad- dressed his remarks solely to MT. Wethey.

Anxious About the Retreat.

London, September 5.--The details of the tragic struggle between Oyama's and Kuropatlxin's forces do not deter British critics from repeating the vital question has Kuropatkin made good his retreat?"
 With all the official news before them the experts seem half inclined to believe that the Russian commander has achiev ed what was thought to be the impossi- be, namely, heading off an envelopment. That the Japanese with superior num- bers and the choice of time for aggres- sien would inf1ict severe losses was taken for granted. The occupation of Lao Yang with enormous Russian casualties and the evacuation of fortified positions are regarded here as r.erely incidents, though it is recognized that the weeks battle must take It's place as one of the bloodiest in ancient or modern history. vet if KuropatAin reaches Mukden with a potential remnant of his army, Oyama' 8 effort will, in English eyes, be regarded more or less as fruitless sacrifice.
 The bravery of bolA the opposing forces excites thrill of admiration mixed with awe
 Strikes a New Note.
 Steeped as English military critics are in the histories of their own wars for centuries past, the combination of fanat-
  ern conditions of warfare around Liao Yang strikes for them a new and almost terrible note.
 ''All we know" says the Daily Graphic, Ifs that the battle of Liao Yang has been fought and won by the Japanese. We have yet to learn the extent of the defeat of the Russians"
 Kuropatkins positi-l Is generally held to be still desperate, but as the Daily News says. the latest cablegrams point to the fact that the Japanese have lost the chance of achieving an unequivocal triumph"
 The Morning Post pays a high tribute to Kuropatkins genius and to the tra- ditional morale of @ Russian troops under the disadvantages of defeat. 1t believes that q pause will not follow events that even in themselves would mark the century with a grand trag- cay.
 Such keen supporter of the Japanese as the Daily Telegraph this morning rather regretfully admits that Oyama failed to achieve his strategical object.
 Has accomplished Nothing.
 ReAecting the British views, the Daily Telegraph comments solely upon the point that nothing has been accomplished un- less Kuropatkin's force is put out of ac- ton.

 The Standard characterizes Kuropat- ldn's transport of his army across the wide and flooded Taitse river In the face of pursuing enemy" as a remarkable feat, and voices the general belief that the Russian commander, having tempor- arily extricated himself will still effect his retreat with an army in being.

 On the evening of September a large Japanese force occupied the right bank of the Taitse river. It is said to consist of the whole of General Kurolxps and Nodzu's armies. General Oku alone re- maining south of Liao Yang.
 The Chinese population Is quiet The Chinese bandits sometimes are offensive, when they become encouraged by the Japanese advance.
 The Russians are in the best of spir- its. The wounded speak in the highest terms of the bravery and endurance of the Japanese.
 The battle near Diao Yang continues to- day (Saturday). There has been hot cross firing at the Yentai mines, but at present silence prevails and there is no firing in any direction.
 Kept Up Storm of Artillery.
 The fight on August 31 continued in a terrific manner until after dark. The Japa- nese maintained a storm of artillery fire on the Russian positions and pressed the Russian flank and southern front but they were driven back by the infantry whenever they came within rifle range.
 On September 1, owing to the extreme fatigue of Generals Oku and Nodzu' s forces, all was quiet until o'clock in the afternoon, when forty-two guns opened simultaneously on Liao Yang, and con- tinued until dark. Little damage was done only four persons being killed. The Rus sian artillery began to reply at D. m.. and under cover of a sharp cannonade the evacuation of the town was commenced. and new railroad station was established several versts to the north, the station master, his assistants and the engineers all working bravely under fire and appar- entity having s-sontempt for the flying shells. General Kuropatkin decorated the stationmaster for his services.
