Troops Were DemoraIized.

Lao Yang. September L. via Tien Tsin.
September 1O.-Many foreigners who OBJ
served the Russians troops at Lao Yang
before the battle which resulted In the
Japanese occupation of the city say that
the Russian reserve was the result of the
decentralization" which began at the bat
tie of Tu Lien Cheng.
The task of General Kuropatkin seemed
to be hopeless. The railroad during the
month of July scarcely sufficed to bring
INTO Lao Yang enough Russian troops to
replace those who were lost by death,
sickness or wounds during the month. and
It was estimated that the Russians would
have to outnumber the Japanese two to
one in order to be successful against them.
Signs of Generalization.
Scenes Witnessed In Lao Yang before
the battle gave evidence OF a certain de-
gree of Generalization on the part of the
Russian forces After the Japanese had
won their first successes at Anshanshan.
and were advancing rapidly on the second
line of Russian defenses, some of the Rus
Sian officers who had been on the fighting.
line, flung their responsibilities aside inn
mediately after they reached Lao Yang
and sought forgetfulness Of their hard
ships and the dangers of the future The
ragoda garden was gay with merrymak-
ers; there was much drinking and music
and the singing of songs in womens voices
was heard from the officers quarters in
the foreign settlement
The Russian soldiers persistently I'M
derestimated the strength of the Japan
ese and in Lao Yang the statements
were often heard, even after the fighting
at Hal Cheng and Anshanshan, that the
war had not yet begun and the Japanese
were playing a very dangerous game.
Give Enemy Full Credit.
The attitude of many of the Russian
troops in regard to the fighting ability
and strength of the Japanese Is changing,
however, and the more intelligent are
beginning to give the enemy full credit
for it's sagacity and worth On account
of the scarcity of wood the Japanese are
burying large numbers of their dead in
stead of burning them.
The Japanese footing was of short du-
ration and now the comparative quiet
and temperance of the Japanese troops
is in strange contrast to the noisy and
bustling activity of the Russian occupa-
ton, which for many months has made
Lao Yang more like a western than an
eastern city. The Japanese military au-
thorities as soon as they reached Lao
Yang put into operation their rigorous
censorship upon press messages, but the
Associated Press correspondent was ena-
bled to send this story via Tien Tsin.

Seriously Hurt.

The Is year old son of j. r. O'Connell
who lives on Twelfth avenue and Thir-
teenth street was thrown from his bicy-
Gle late yesterday afternoon at Avenue #
and Fifteenth street and badly bruised.
1t seems that the boy was riding down
the street with only one hand on the
handel bars of his bicycle when the front
wheel struck rock. He was thrown
heavily to the ground and was rendered
unconscious for some time.
He was first carried to st. vincent's
hospital and later in Shaw & Sons am
bulance to his parents residence. The
boy recovered consciousness at the hos
pital where an examination of his con-
dition was made and the physicians
stated that he was not seriously injured.

Kurokl FORCES the Retreat.

Toxic, September 100 a. m.)-General
KurolSi, advancing to the northwest last
Sunday and, Monday, forced the Rus
slams. to retreat to Mukden. 1t is rumored
that the Russians after Mondays fight
carried more than 10000 wounded north
of Mukden. 1t appears that they ingen-
iously removed a majority of their dead
but left more than 1900 dead in the vicin-
ity of Lao Yang.
The retreating Russians removed their
guns but abandoned and exploded their
ammunition. The number of ammunition
carts found In the trenches are enormous.
The japanese casualties have not yet been
reported. On last Sunday night at 10
o'clock General Kuroki's central column
attacked a strong Russian force at Talien-
Kou, east of Lao Yang.
After night of fierce lighting the Rus
slams were driven westward
Kurokfs right column advanced north-
ward to point twenty-five miles south
of Mukden. The Russians continued to
retreat. The main body of the Russians
retired to MulSden, burning the bridges
across the Sha river.

Bemidji, Mimi. Feb.3.--This city is on
the brink of a municipal reform which
bids fair to result in drastic and far
reaching reforms, that will be effective from
Nymore to the heights. ID -r,.-.2,
Wide open gambling has long flourished
in Bemidii, but the old time knights Of the
cloth. who have waXed comfortably rich
since the day the townsite was plated,
are now agreed that the beginning Of the
end is In sight. r
| A meeting of the local w. G. T. U. yes

| The movement against the houses of ILL
fame, five in number paying a monthly
| fine of $50 each, meets with public ap-
|proval. The houses are near the heart OF
the city and are a source of scandal. The
gambling is not such an eyesore, however
and there are many who would be content

in fines is in the neighborhood of $500 a
month, and the movement meets with bit

council to close the gambling houses anG

NO MORE PRISON
MADE CIGARS
UNIONISTS ARE READY TO IN
WADE THE COURTS.
Officers OF the Branch Penitentiary at
Marquette Said to Have Ignored the
Law by Permitting Sales of Prison
Cigars Within the State-ASent
Dihle Camping on Their Trail.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Hancock Mich, Feb Sit is declared
by the cigarmakers' union that the manu-
facture of cigars at the Marquette penl-
tertiary must cease. 1t has all along
been denied by the prison officials, ac-
cording to Business Agent Dihle, the
unions representative, that cigars made
by convicts have been sold within the
state. but now it is asserted that there
is convincing evidence that portion OF
the prison made product is disposed Of in
the confines of Michigan, in violation of
the law
1t is the claim of Dihle that while on
a recent Investigating tour he gathered
at Marquette and other places bills which
cigar dealers had received from the
Franklin Cigar company, which has the
prison contract and also many cigar
boxes which bear labels containing the
names Of prison made brands. The agent
is now preparing a bill Of complaint TO
the international union. He says that
after the bill is received by the inter
national, the unions attorney will draw
up brief and submit 1t to the attorney
general of Michigan. If the attorney gen
eral does not take steps to stop the
manufacture Of cigars, the matter will be
taken to the courts.
The union representative also says he
has evidence showing that the state law
in regard to the employment Of labor is
pClnS violated Ill tie pIlSOli ClSdi idc'oiS
Article Is. section g. of the laws of Mich
igan provides that no convict shall be
taught a mechanical trade. Dlhle says
that this law is being ignored, and that
butchers, machnists, plumbers and othel
tradesmen are employed in the prison
shop.
Now that the factory is closed because
of having been destroyed by fire some
weeks ago, the fight for the abolition OF
cigar making in the prison will, Dlhle
says, be fought with renewed vigor. AS
he figures 1t, the state receives 81 fol
every 1000 cigars turned out by the con
vcts, which compares with 81 as the
price the union man in Detroit and Other
Michigan cities is paid for his labor. Ir
addition, the state provides the building
pays two guards for the men, feeds the
inmates. heats the plant and provides
steam for curing the tobacco.
Should appeal to the attorney gen
eral be Intellectual, injunction proceeding!
will be resorted to by the union, and i
Is declared that If necessary the matter
will be carried to the court of last resort
