Kuropatkin's Armies Falling
Back on Liao Yang.
STRONGLY FORTIFIED
RELIEVED THAT HE MIGHT THEN
RISK GENERAL FIGHT.
Evacuation Of Haicheng Reported
Many Deaths From Sunstroke-
No Reference to Casualties.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 3.-Gen. ku-
ropatkin's armies are now concenlra'lhs
upon Lao Yang, falling back, respectively,
upon Anshanshan, Liandiansian ana An
ping, as predicted in the dispatches OF the
Associated Press. These three points form
n ring of closely knit defenses around Lao
Yang. and enable Gen. Kuropatkin to risk
n general engagement The only cause for
anxiety Is Anping, and Gen. kuropatkln
words. that he hoped the troops would hold
that place indicates a msgiving. The Jap
anese evidently realized the advantage OF
attacking this point. and directed their
strongest advance along the Saisatzi-Liao
Yang line.
A brief telegram from Gen. kuropatkin,
received this morning. reports the evacua-
ton of Haicheng, and declares the Japan
ese did not continue the attack toward Lao
Yang August 2. adding that they evidently
were unable to follow up their advantage Of
the previous day owing to the stubborn re-
sistance of the Russians coupled with the
tropical heat.
The general says the soldiers threw away
their overcoats and equipments. and adds
that everything possible was done to relieve
them, but nevertheless there were great
number of deaths from sunstroke. He does
not specify the casualties of the battle, and
makes no mention of the loss of guns.
Retreated in Good Order.
In dispatch to the emperor dated Au-
gust . Gen. Kuropatkin says:
Our troops have retired from Haicheng
along the road toward Anshanshan. The
movement was accomplished in perfect
order, and the enemy did not disturb us.
THE terrible heat has caused many sun
strokes. and measures have been taken to
diminish the equipment the troops have
hitherto been obliged to carry by transport
ing it in supply carts
There is no serious news from the east

INNOVATION AT FRISCO MINT.
Successful Experiments in Manufac-
ture of Copper Blanks.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 3.-Suc-
cessful experiments in the manufacture OF
copper blanks from which cents are
stamped at the United States mint in this
city will render unnecessary the reduc-
ton in the force which it was expected
would go into effect there in September.
With this innovation the mint will have
sufficient work to employ all of Its 800
W orkers, with the exception of fifty wo-
men, throughout the year,
Heretofore the government has bought
its supply of blanks from private con-
Germs.
The mint here is the only one in the
United States which makes cents and
n1ckels and there will be reeord-break-
ing production of those coins from Sep
tember to December. The mint will de-
vote itself exclusively to this coinage,
and. as a result, $4,000 900 will be turned
out each month. In the last four months
of the year the demand for subsidiary
coin is SO great that the $1OO,OO0, 900, it is
estimated, will be exhausted by Febru-
airy. This has been a record d-making year
at the mint. In one month more gold was
coined than in any other similar time.
Since January Sill, 100000 in gold has
been turned out, most of which has been
forwarded to subtreasuries. In the vaults
at the present time are 100. 900. 900 silver
dollars held as collateral for silver GER
tificates.

RUSSIA EXPLAINS.
Her Foreign Minister Discusses seiz-
ure of the Arabia.

,..oa ct.tes Ambassador Mccormick
.s bIed the State Department from st.
pa+ershnr9 that in reply to his inquiries
relative to the seizure OF the hahipui
,,or,can liner steamer Arabia by the Via
divcstok squadron with cargo or United
States goods which was represented py the
agents to include no contraband. the Rus
stan minister for foreign affairs has salo:
.In conformity with the rules OF con-
duct published by the imperial government
so,,a time ago a detachment of Russian
war vessels seized July %. 100 miles north
of Yokohama the steamship Arabia, winch
was then taken to Vladivostok and the
case of her seizure was laid before the
local court Upon the decision of this
court will rest the question as to whether
the Arabia Is to be released or treated as
a prize
The State Department has accordingly
telegrap phed this notice to the several Amer
lear firms which have complained of the
seizure of their goods on the Arabia in
order that they may, If they care to do 50,
appcar by counsel before the prize court.
1t is expected that Mr. Greener, the United
States consul at Vladivostof will also
watch the proceedings. A prize court is
not regarded here as a strictly judicial
tribunal and there is ample precedent for
requesting a revision of its work and judg-
ment In case the latter is unsatisfactory
and the proceedings are believed to have
been irregular.
There had been no further representa-
tions TO the State Department respecting
the American cargo sunk in the Knight
Commander and II is believed that some
difficulty is being experienced by the agents
in establishing the American ownership of
the goods destroyed owing to the peculiar
system of consignment prevailing in some
cases In Asatic trade.

BETS ON THE ELECTION.
Money That Ike Hill Would Like to
Have Covered.

1t was current gossip on the street today
that democratic wagers are on tap on the
outcome of the election. Col. Ike" Hill
went up town mad passed around a
challenge. 1t was not his own money that
was talking, but the ducatS of a well
known and very wealthy democrat, who
divides his residence between Washington
and a middle-west state, a democrat of ma
tional reputation.
According to Col. Ike, the money can be
had on these terms:
Even money. up to $1,000. that West
Virginia goes democratic, and $1,c00 that
New York goes democratic, the two bets
to be taken together. Separately, $1,000
that democratic President is elected"
The colonel invites the boys to walk up
and place their money, and says the long
green will be promptly forthcoming. Later
in the day it was said that several sports"
were looking for him on the bet on the
general result, but nobody had coppered his
New Northwest Virginia proposition.

PARTIAL CONFESSION.
Plehve's Murderer Dec1a:.ss He Was
Once a Teacher.

ST. PETERSBURG, -Auguss'5.-The as
sassir Of Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve is said to have made a partial con-
fession in which he. declared that at one
time he was a school teacher In rural
district and was greatly interested II the
Zemstvo, for the curtailment of whose pow
ers he blamed the dead minister. He still
absolutely refuses to disclose his name.
A watch is kept on him day and night,
not only in order to prevent his doing
himself bodily harm, but in the belief that
he may betray himself in his sleep. Thus
far, however. he has only muttered two
words in sleep-endearing dfminutives for
Peter and Natalie, probably the names of
a comrade and sweetheart.
The police have discovered that third
accomplce was concerned in the murder
plot and that he was stationed on quay
on the Neva where one o. the imperial
yachts was moored, on the chance that
the minister might go to Peterhof that day
by boat.

TO SEEK STRANGE RACE.
Chicago Anthropologist Will Explore
Northern China.

CHICAGO, August BIN quest of a mys-
ter1ous white race, which lives in the noun
tains of northern China, Prof. Frederick
Starr. head of the department of anthropoI-
ogy at the University of Chicago will leave
next spring for long stay in the orient
After searching for the strange people in
the mountains, Professor Starr may spend
the remainder of his life among the Chi
nese, for he declares that China, within
three years. will occupy the center of the
worlds stage in commerce. His plans were
announced in his lecture to his class in an
thropology.
According to DR.. Starr, he will leave the
University of Chicago at the end of this
years work. His first stop after leaving
America will be Japan, where he may re-
main for two years, living the life of the
Japanese people. After this he will make
his long visit to China, which he desgnates
as the coming nation
His return, he says, will depend on how
well he likes Chinese life.

BUSINESS PRINCIPLES
Republican Campaign to Be
so Run.
CHAIRMAN CORTELYOU
TO CONCENTRATES THE WORK OF
SPECIAL BUREAUS.
CHAIRMAN CORTELYOU
Members Of the Executive Committee
to Have Charge and to Be Held
Responsible for Results.

According to reports from Chicago. Ma
tional Chairman Cortelyou is organizing
the republican campaign upon somewhat
different lines from the organization or
four and eight years ago. The main de-
parture from the previous plans appears
to be in the omission of special bureaus and
concentration of the work in the nands or
a few overseers in the east and west.
The dispatches say that Chairman Cor
telyou has discontinued the special bu-
reaus which rallied the laboring men, the
commercial travellers, the different nation
alities of naturalized foreigners, etc. Here
tofore these interests were organized and
placed in charge of men affiliated with
them.
Hereafter they will be watched over by
members of the executive committee. but
not as separate organizations. Mr.. Harry
S. New of Indiana. Mr.. Frank o. Lowden
of Illinois, Mr.. r. B. Schneider of Ne
braska and Mr.. David w. Mulvane of Kan
sas will aid Secretary Dover in conducting
the campaign from the Chicago headQuar-
ters. Representative Tawney of Minnesota
the republican whip" of the House, is to
have charge of the speakers bureau Of the
national committee and will assign the Or
ators for the entire campaign.
Strickly on Business Principles.
1t is said that the campaign is to be run
strictly on business principles. Men will
be paid for their work and results demand
ed. This precedent was set by Senator
Hanna in 1850, and a result of the plan
there were fewer demands upon the ad-
minstration for patronage on the score of
services rendered in the campaign. That
rule applied mainly to the minor workers
in the cause, for, of course, there were
many speakers and ardent workers, holding
official positions, who accepted no compen-
sation for their services and only called
upon the national committee to pay the
legitimate expenses of travel.
In the east, Mr.. Charles N. Brooker of
Connecticut, Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia, Gov Murphy of New Jersey and Mr.
William L. Ward will run the machine
with Mr.. L. A. Coolidge as eastern secre-
tary. The same elimination of special bu-
reaus will be followed in the east. The
press bureau of the committee will be 10
Gated in New York, under the immediate
direction Of Mr.. Coolidge.
On Separate Lines, but in Harmony.
The national committee and the congress
sional committee will work along separate
lines, both, of course, conserving the in
terests of the republican party. The con-
gressioEal committee. however, will localize
its efforts, going into the close districts
with special efforts in behalf of the re-
publican nominee for Congress but putting
In word for word in the interest of the re-
publican national ticket.
Information from the republican man
ayers is to the effect that there is no
abatement of confidence in the outcome.
and that every day strengthens the belief
that the national and congressional tickets
will be safely carried

WILL NOT ACT FIRST
UNITED STATES TO AWAIT GER
MANY AND GREAT BRITAIN.
They Have Lost More Through Rus
sian Seizures and Should Take
Precedence

The State Department is in telegraphic
communication with Its agencies abroad re-
specting the Russian seizures and destruc-
ton Of American goods. but 1t Is not yet
ready to define precisely its position as to
the whole subject of seizures. These ex-
changes are not confined to ST. Petersburg
and Washington. but are intended to de-
Velop the purposes of the governments of
other nations, and particularly of Great
Britain and Germany, whose shipping has
suffered more than that of any other The
loss of part of a cargo is, in point of in
ternational law, an issue of far less mag
nitude than the destruction of a ship, and
so far the British and Germans have lost
their ships and the Americans only cargo
Ihat fact is believed to justify the State
department in proceeding more leisurely
than would otherwise be the case, leaving
1t to the larger sufferers to establish their
own policies respecting seizures
1t is said here that the precedents al
ready established in the Spanish and Boer
wars, as well as in the operations in China
during the black flag uprising, have work.
ed so satisfactorily and have received such
universal approval that under no circum-
stances will the United States now recede
from the doctrine that foodstuffs not di-
rectly intended for the use of a beligerent
army or navy cannot be regarded as con-
traband.
DEGREES Vary.
While this contention is directly at vari-
ance with the Russian decree the sub
ject as promulgatedkt the beginning of
the present war, in view of the fact that IL
Is believed to be the German position and
is certainly that of the British rs evil
denced by their paying for United States
food carsoes seized during the Boer war,
the State Department is sure of sufficient
support to Oblfge the Russian government
to abandon its contention and to desist
from further seizures of American food
sturs consigned not only to China hut even
to individuals In Japan, unless it can be
clearly shown by the Russians that the
food is destined for the japanese army or
navy.
There is no disposition to make an issue
further of the Ardova case That British
snip was seized by one of the volun, eer
Russian cruisers in the Red sea and sent
to Suez, where she released and re-
sumed her journey. She had aboard n
quantity of supplies for the Philippine gov
ernment. The United States government is
willing to concede the right of stoppage
and search to reasonable degree and has
decided to make no issue on that point
But the mails on the Vessel were ransacked
and delayed, and while all :he facts were
not at hand, it is possible that some of
these were United States mails and with
out further studying the subject the gov
ernment here is not willing to admit the
rlght OF interference to that degree

WARES RESIGNATION
Facts Which Point to the Retirement
Of the Commissioner

Although Commissioner Ware of the PEN
sion office repeatedly has denied the rumor
that he will retire at an early day from the
position he holds at the head of that i'm
portant branch of the government service
indications seem to point to the coming
severance OF his official connection with the
Office.
The facts that his family has left Wash
ington, that he has given up the house here
which he has continuously occupied almost
since his induction into the commissioner
ship, and that it is generally understood
that his family will not return to the city
for the coming season of congressional and
social activity, are taken to mean that he
will take early opportunity of submit
ting to the President his resignation as
commissioner. He will leave for Boston
next week, where he will participate in the
program outlined by the managers of the
Grand Army encampment in that city,
which begins August Is.
