HORRIBLE CARNAGE.
Soldiers Of Both Armies Fight to the
Last Gasp.

St. Petersburg, Sept. S.-A Russian
correspondent of the Associated Press,
in a graphic description Of the fighting
at Lao Yang, says:
"OnIy the Russian soldiers tradition
al splendid qualities enabled them TO
support the terrible conditions, or
which the lack of sleep was nc most
themselves to the utmost of rain and
darkness, and did not cease fighting
their night attacks testing Russian en-
durance severely The japanese suf-
fered terribly, but made light Of their
losses. They continually drafted fresh
reserves into the ranks to replace the
wOTnQut men.
Indeed. the numerical superiority or
the Japanese is astounding and inCon-
prehensible. for after losing enough
men at Port Arthur and elsewhere TO
form a perfect army, their effective
strength appears only TO increase. and
they still are concentrating fresh
bodies of troops on the Lao river.
The battlefield was a perfect inferno.
General Stakelberg was wounded, but.
despising death, he remained immov-
able at his post throughout the day.
regardless of the rain of shot around
him. Several officefs of his staff were
killed or wounded. in the evening
General Stakelberg notified General
kurOpatkin that ne could EOld the pO~
sition or take the offensive if necessary.
Would Not Accept Quarter.
Among the incidents of the day was
the slaughter Of two japanese b3ttal
ions, which were pursued through the
Chinese corn and grain 10 Saitsa and
surrounded by the Russians. They re-
sOlutely refused 90 accept quarter, pre-
ferring death.
I'm another part of the field the
japanese shelled and captured by as
sault one of the Russian trenches only
to find too late that it had been aban-
doned by the Russians and occupied by
their comrades. They fell upon the
PROSTATE bodies and flooded them with
tears.
In one case 4 party of Japanese Of
ficers found a body of their men retir-
ing in disorder. and drove them back
70 the battlefield al the point Of the
sword.
The Russian frontier guards died al
their posts, refusing 10 surrender. IL
was tie anniversary of the creation or
their regiment. which they had ceie-
brated the previous night. They los
a large proportion Of their officers.
Even Threw Stones.
AT many points the combatanUs
stoned each other.
"Of late the Russians have learned
10 mask their batteries more effect
uaIly and thus have gained a sensible
advantage over the Japanese. IKE
Russians worship their guns, and. to
quote General Kuropatkin's admoni-
ton. Soldiers. die for your guns as you
would for your flag

LITTLE JOTTINGS ON
THE CONVENTION

Jerrold r. Letcher. who has been
the delegation from San Juan through
many, many years. shared his honOrs
yesterday with G. J. Bengtzen of Salt
Lake. who was granted one Of the
proxies, and amused the convention by
original remarks every time he arose
to speak.
The flight Of time appears to have the
effect of increasing the Democratic
spirit of John II. Game of Salt Lake.
No youngster in the convention was
mrOe active than the veteran, who was
easily the conspicuous figure of the
Salt Lake delegation
Judge J. =. Miners friends rallied
TO his support in royal fashion when
the ballot for presidential electors was
taken Had the movement IN the in
terest of the Utah county veteran been
started trihe earlier the result might
have been different
Judge w. H. King returned from his
eastern trip in time to take part in the
convention.
The quarters Of the Young Mems
Democratic club were placed at the dis
posal Of the delegates during the con-
NenIOn, and formed a convenient and
suitable meeting place for many Of the
outside delegations.
Senator ]. r. Murdoch of Wasatch
was one of the prominent figures, and
predicts Democracy for Wasatch this
fall.
Judge s. r. Thurman made a good
convention chairman. The delegates
were always ready to heed the admOni-
tons Of the judge, and his task was
thus made easy. But his work proved
that the most turbulent sort of a gath
ering would not suffice 10 upset the
Utah county leader.
"Show me the trail out, boys" said
James Veater Of Garfield, after adj
journment. i've got TO get home first
thing in the morning TO take the good
word to the boys at home"
Mr.. Veater was the lone delegate
from Garfield, but his robust voice was
sufficient to represent several counties.
Judge Thomas d. Dee of Ogden had
little to say, but the smile that how
cred about his lips all day proved that
he was seeing and hearing much that
pleased him.

treat. and that Kuroki is on his east
flank and Oku iS on his left, and st.
Petersburg officials surmise that a big

continue to press on to Mukden. The

The men, however. were dissatisfied with

Withdrawal is Denied.

After the delegates had begun vot-
zig upon the names of Judge Baskin
and Judge Varian, +. D. Hoge of Salt
Lake obtained recognition from the
chair and said:
MIR. Chairman: I feel that I have
the authority know I have-and be-
ing one Of the closest friends that the
Hon II. N Baskin has in this state
having been associated with him init
mately for the last twenty-five years
I have assumed here tonight, believ-
ing that L have got, as i say, the au-
thority TO do 50, to withdraw his name
from before this convention. and I
move to make the nomination of c. 5.
Narian by reclamation Of this conven-
tion.
Several delegates questioned Mr..
Hoge's right to withdraw Judge Bas-
kin's name.
Chairman Thurman called upon Mr.
Burton, who nominated Judge Baskin,
who said:
Mr. Chairman, will say that 7
have not conferred with Judge Baskin
and OF course I know he is friend Of
Judge HOge's, but / wouldn't take the
responsibility of Withdrawing his name
myself. L told Judge HOge that if he
wanted to do so, of course il would be
satisfactory with me-"
The Chair-UnGer the circumstances
the chair will hold that the smotfOn is
out Of order, and the convention will
proceed to vote.
Mr.. Hoge-I thought I had the con-
sent Of Judge Baskin to withdraw his
name.
The Chair-But you are not the man
who placed the gentleman in nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Lloyd have the greatest re-
gard for Judge Baskin, and at the same
time the will of the convention. and I
am not in a position to think that
Judge Baskin's name should be with
drawn without his authority, or with
out authority from him, and I believe
that Judge Baskin would prefer To
have mis- votes recorded and know
where and by whom he is defeated As
a supporters OF Judge Baskin, / prefer
TO have this so on TO finish
The chairman decided to proceed
with the ballot 1t resulted in the
nomination of Judge Varian. who re-
'ceived 4015g votes TO 1872 votes re-
K,e1Fed by Judge Baskin.
