The rebels reassembled their scat

Meridian, Miss, Sept. S.-Law and

reign of murder that has resulted in

Judge Miller of this place, who is

is a prohibition state, but there is
much illicit liquor selling and this is

SkillfuI Manner in Which He Upset

Jap Plans.
st. Petersburg, Sept. S.-As the Rus
sian newspapers begin to realize more
fully the catastrophe which General
k%uropatkin avoided at Liaoyang and
the skillful in which he upset
Marshal Oyama's plan to surround the
Russian army they take a more cheer
full view of the result and are begin
ming to bestow upon Kuropatkin great
praise.
1t Is now apparent that Oyama's
purpose by pressing the Russian posi-.
tions in front Of Liaoyang was to hold
k~uropatkin's attention while the Jap.
anese right wing was thrust around
the Russian rear to block the Russian
line Of retreat. But Kuropatkin at it's
very conception had his ayes upon this
f1anking movement and countered by
early withdrawal OF his main army to
the right bank of the Taitse river. The
Novosti says:
In England, France and Germany
the serious nature Of the consequences
Of the defeat of the Russian army is
fully appreciated and as the views of
their military critics are by no e
unfavorable there exist no reasons
why we should give way to despair
over a defeat which never took place."
The Novoe Vremya. reviewing the
situation, declares emphatically that
neither mediation nor peace are now
even thought of.
No further details of the losses suf.
fered by the Russians during the ten
days fighting have been received.
How long the roll of casualties ulti-
mately will be a be estimated by the
official report Of the number of Off
GERS killed or wounded between Aug.
26 and Aug. 81 in a single division.
This division, that of General Kon-
dratsvitch, which is under General
Zaroubaieff and which formed part of
the Russian right below L%iaoyang, lost

at Port Arthur, is to be courtmar-
tailed is untrue the admiralty has
decided to recall him, probably plac-
ing Captain Wren OF the armored
cruiser Bayan in command. 1t has
been realized all along that Ouktomsky
lacked the requisites of a commander
of a feet under such difficulties. but
owing to the impossibi,ity of sending
a flag officer to Port arthur he was
allowed to remain in command. The

his action in returning to Port Arthur
