up with hardly moments intermis-
sion until after nightfall. War
Scared veterans scarce believe the
stories which come from the seat of
war, and declare that it is beyond
human endurance for any army to
fight without respite for whole
week, each day of which has exceeded
its predecessor in intensity of strug-
gle and carnival of slaughter.
Numerous incidents in the fight
ing upset the theory evolved by ex-
perience in the Boer War that a
modern battle must necessarily be
fought at long range. Both sides
repeatedly came to hand-to-hand en-.
counters in bayonet charges and the
men of both sides were often so near
each other that they could distingu-
ish features and hear words of COM
mand. In one instance they were
separated only by the width of the
railroad, and actually threw stones
at each other, The mad heroism of
the Japanese and the stubborn ten
acity Of the Russians have not been
paralleled anywhere save in some of
the desperate encounters of the
American Civil War.
Correspondents state that several
of the bayonet attacks made by the
Japanese throughout the battle have
been forced by the depletion of am
munition, of which modern arms
entail such extravagant expenditure.
The Japanese came on with empty
guns and with hopes of finishing the
attack with cold steel, but il was
proved at their own cost that such
attacks cannot be driven home in
the face of the fire of breech- loading
guns.
The opinion is that the Russian
casualties in the recent fighting will
reach 10000, while the japanese may
be much larger than that. Day after
day the thousands of dead bestrew-
ing the battlefields have to be re-
moved. The Japanese have invented
new methods to inciuerate the heaps
of dead, comrades removing the ashes
for the honor of burial in Japan. The
wounded present most serious prob
lem, as they tax the transport ca
pacity on both sides to the uttermost.
The flower of Jspan's ohivslry is
sacrificing itself in this war for
national preservation. Among those
youths reported killed at Liaoyang
are Lieut.. Tearouchi, son of Lieut..
Gen. Tearouchi, minister of war, and
Lieuts. Fukushima and Muratta, both
sons of japanese generals.
The Czar has undergone q grea
strain during the past week. His
main fear during the last few days
has been that Kuropatkin would be
cut off. Like his subjects. the Gar
has taken Kurops:kin's defeat great
ly to heart, but the preser walton of
the army organization has been a
great relief, and his answer to the
battle of Liaoyang will be the
mobilization of two more army corps.
So far as can be learned, the Gar
shows no disposition to blame Kuro-
patkin. The new mobilization de-
cided upon is expected to be an
nounced in the latter part of this
week. 1t will include the Eighth
Army Corps, stationed at Odesss.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

IL
General Kuropatkin has reached
Mukden. He is confident that the
critical stage of the retreat is past and
that he is no longer in danger of
losing any part of his forces to the
pursuing Japanese. Still Mukden
dispatch says that part Of his army
has been caught.
The main Russian army has not
stopped but is steadily pushing north
ward and evacuating Mukden. Tie
ling is thought to be their objective
point. 1t is 40 miles north of Muk-
den. The japanese are still harrass-
ing the Russians rear. Generals
Kuroki and Kuropatkin have been
marching northward along parallel
lines, both armies being greatly ham
pered by heavy roads, the Japanese
in a rough region and the Russians
in fiat country.
There has been constant fighting
at the Russian rear and along the
eastern wing. No further details of
the losses suffered by the Russians
during the 10 days. fighting have
been received.
A desperate four days resistance
by the Russians to General Kuroki's
smaller force at Heiyingtai saved
Kuropatkin's army. The fighting
during this period was continuous
and fierce. In the end Kuroki won,
but it was then too late to cut off
Kuropatkin's retreat.
The bombardment of Port Arthur
continues without decisive result.
LEADING FACTS OF THE GREAT RUS
SIAN RoUT.
General Kuropstkin's army fleeing
from Liaoyang to escape capture, and
in full retreat northward, and Liaoy-
ang, with it's great stores and fine for
tifications, occupied by Oyama's VIC
torious troops-such is the doleful
story of defeat that comes to st. Pet
ersburg.
A dispatch from General Kuropat-
kin saying that he had "repnlsed" the
attact of Knroki, had in turn assum-
ed the offensive and was at the time
attacking Kuroki, started the st.
Petersburg papers to singing the
paeons of praise for the commander
in-chief and to specializing on how
great the victory would be. The
atlak on Kuroki failed, and, finding
his whole army in imminent danger
of being surrounded, General Kuro-
patkin hurriedly retreated toward
Mukden, leaving General Stakelberg,
with his whole First Siberian Army
Corps, about 5000 men, cut off and
probably doomed to capture.
The Russians blew mp their maya
zines and set fire to the stores before
leaving Liaoyang, but the Japanese
will, it is thought, get much valuable
stuff which the Russians did not have
time to destroy.
The st. Petersburg War Office, with
it's accustomed optimism, declares
that Kuropatkin's retreat is in reality
q Japanese "reverse," because the lat
ter did not capture nor destroy the
entire Russian army. But the most
sanguine military critics admit free
ly that the situation is most serious,
that Russia now has hard task be-
fore her to retrieve her prestige; also
that Liaoyang's experience clearly
shows that the Russians cannot beat
the japanese when the latter are
more numerous than themselves. At
Vladivostock feverish preparations
are being made in view of seige. The
schools and all lay Institutions are to
remove to Khabarovsk.
Nemirovich Datschenko says the
Japanese shell fire has made Lao
yang perfect inferno, scattering
death everywhere. "Even as an on

date for President Hi- friends in
Ohio arr actively engaged in the
preliminary work IF eierting a set of
delegates commit tt Mr. Hanna
and oppo> ed TO Mr.. t<"O-evelt. The
contest is open and undi~guleed. The
Hanna slate for delegates-at-large
consists of Governor Herrick, ex-
Governor Nash, Congressman Dick,
and George B. Cox, the republican
boss in Cincinnati. The administra-
ton slate for delegates-at-large is to
be headed by Senator Foraker, but
the other three names have not been
announced. Senator Foraker plainly
says, however, that he will meet the
Hannaites at Philippi, and that the
matter will be duly fought out. Mr..
Foraker throws down the gauge of
battle defiantly and unfinchingly.
He says of President Roosevelt: 81
believe in the man; I believe in his
administration; I believe he will be
the strongest candidate who can be
named, and I believe he will be tri-
umphantly elected, and [ believe
there should not be any halting or
hesitation on the part of Ohio repub-
licans about supporting him." This
is the issue. This is the sum and
substance of the fight, and the Han
Mates stand ready to accept the
gauge of battle.
The bitterness of the struggle
promises to Ohio an excellent mis-
sionary field, and the democratic
missionaries will no doubt be ready
to improve the opportunity. There
will be no warmer fight in the coun-
try than the coming one in Ohio,
where Hanna and Foraker will con-
tend for supremacy, and the title OF
Theodore Roosevelt to another lease
of the White House may be tied up
in the struggle. Strange things have
happened in American politics.

SENATOR HALES PROPOSE
TON.

Even Senator Hale of Maine thinks
some way should be found in which
the grievances of Colombia, so truth
fully and eloquently presented by
General Reyes can be adjusted. Sen
ator Hale's proposition is not very
promising, but it shows that his on
science has been stirred until he has
ceased to be a blind follower of Mr..
Foraker and MI. Lodge.
He says the quarrel is between Co.
lumbia and Panama, and he proposes
that the President of the United
States tender his best offices towards
a peaceful adjustment of all contro-
versies that have arisen or that may
arise between Colombia and Panama.
The Hale proposition is, it is true,
superficial and impracticable, but it
at least shows that the Maine senator
thinks something should be done.
The United States cannot inter.
vene with effect because its hands
are not clean. It directly aided, if il
did not connive at, the secession o.
Panama.
Its ships and its marines made the
act of secession possible. 1t is the
United States that wronged Colon.

where for an interviewer and peace
maker. Let us, however, be gla6
that a republican conscience has beer

Foraker and Lodge cannot count or
a solid republican vote in favor o
their robber scheme.

ANT|JUG PROVISION.
JUDGE GEORGE H. BROWN UP
HOLDS ANTI-JUG LAW.
Decides The Test Case of State VS.
Long Against Defendant-Ap-
peal Taken To the Su-
preme Court.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
Judge Geo. III. Brown In the SUI
perior court yesterday rendered his
decision in the test case brought be-
fore him to ascertain whether the
<'anti-jug law" applied to all prohl-
bition territory in the State. Judge
Brown said that he could not con-
ceive that the legislature intended to
pass such a misleading title, but he
knew no way out of the difficulty
and he would leave the supreme
court to wrestIe with the question.
This test case was argued by MI.
Cameron Morrison and Mr.. Claudius
Dockery for the defendant, z. F.
Long, and by Mr.. w. N. Jones, pres
ident of the anti-saloon league, for
the prosecution.
Judge Browns decision is as fol-
lows:
Estate VS.. z. F. Long, North Caro-
lima. Wake County-Superior
Court.
"This is an Indictment for selling
and delivering whiskey within pro-
hibition territory contrary to chapter
SS Private Laws of 1874 and 1875, az
amended by chapter Is, Private
Laws of 1879.
"The defendant by entry of record
and in open court waived a jury trial,
and it was agreed the court should
find the facts.
"The defendant is a resident and
citizen of Hoffman, Richmond county,
North Carolina, and a regularly Ii
censed wholesale and retail liquor
dealer in said town.
sEThat at the time mentioned in
Indictment the defendant received an
order, a letter through the mail from
Simon Poacher, who resides in Wake
Forest, N. c., and is not a druggist.
The letter was mailed at Wake For
@st, directed to defendant at Hoffman
and contained the cash price for one
gallon of whiskey, and the letter di
Poacher by express one gallon o
whiskey. That said defandant, OF
receipt of said money and letter, de
livered to the express company .
Hoffman a package containing on
gallon of whiskey addressed on tn
outside to Simon Poacher, Wax
Forest, N. G. That said expires
company received said package o
whiskey and carried it to sait
Poacher at Wake Forest and sait
Poacher there received it from tn
express company.
"Wake Forest College is situated
within said town of Wake Forest.
"It is contended by the State tina
the act of 1903, chapter $40, entities
"An act toprohibit the manufacture
sale and importation of liquors i
Cleveland, Cabarrus, Mitchell an

tire State and makes the place of de
livery the place of sale in every pal
of the State and that under the fact
of this case the sale took place wiGf
in prohibited territory. It is e.
trernely difficult for me to believ
that the general assembly intende
to enact what is commonly Gale
an 'anti-jug lew for the entire Stat
under such a misleading title as th'
given to the above recited act. Y
a careful study of the body of tt
act forces me to such conclusion an
that it is an offence to ship packag,

a point within this State into ar

the sale is prohibited by law"

TO tsl;e no share whatever in any Carl
ist movement against the existing
government of Spain On the other
hand. IT is argued that Il the young
preteuder acquits himself with as
much distinction in the present war as
he did at the time OF the late advance
of the allied forces upon Pekin he
will add greatly to his prestige and
popularity with the Spanish popalace.
1t is not to be denied that Don Jaime
is popular, not alone among his politi'
cal adherents, but like wise among
Spaniards in general. They all en-
tertain kindly feelings towards the
young prince. who. born and reared
in exile, nevertheless managed to
travel incognito from one end of Spain
to the other in order 10 become ac-
quainted with his native land.
Supporters of the present govern
ment. however. see cause for salts
faction rather than alarm in the de-
parture of Don jaime for the scene OF
hostilities between Russia End Japan.
From their point of view the action OF
the car in assigning the young prince
to military duty in the far East may
be taken as an Indication of his good
will and sympathy for King Alfonso,
since by so doing he not only removes
the pretender to remote part of the
world. but like wise forces the Carl
lists in Spain to continue quiet owing
to the absence of the one man who
might be expected to act as their lead
er
Should Don Jaime succumb either
to wounds or disease in the far East
1t is his uncle. Don Alphonse. younger
brother OF Don Carlos. who world be-
come the only remaining heir to the
Carlists' pretensions. Don Alphonse
enjoys no popularity with the Spanish
people and consequently. if anything
untoward were to happen to Don
Jaime there would virtually be an end
to the Carlist cause.

japanese in conflict at points border
ing on the Yalu river are progressing
rapidly. Embankments are being
thrown up and other precautions TAX

On the other hand, the japanese are
not idle Men and stores are being
landed hourly at Chemulpo and at 9th
er places in Korea and the indica
tions are that they will be as well pre-
pared as they were in the campaign
against the Boxers in 1900. Military
men are agreed that in the march to
Peking the Japanese outdid all the
forces engaged. Their commissary
and their hospital corps were admira
bly, arranged to meet the situation

tory the mikado's men conducted
themselves in an eminently proper
