LIVING IN CAMP
 OF THEIR ENEMY
NEGRO STRIKE BREAKERS IN CHICAGO WERE BEING LODGED IN HOTEL WHICH IS PRESIDENT DoNNELLYS HEADQUARTERS

Chicago, September 1.-An angry crowd of strikers which surrounded the Transit house this afternoon and demanded three colored strike-breakers served to bring out the fact that President Donnelly and other strike leaders who are making their home at the Transit house are liv- ing in the camp of the enemy.
 The stock yards company, which owns the Transit house, as well as the yards, became involved in the strike today, when it became apparent that the com pany intended to hire non-union stock handlers to take the places of the union stock handlers who have quit work The crowd that clamored so loudly for the strike-breakers this afternoon were all most under the windows of the room at the Transit house where President Don nelly and his advisers were in conference over strike plans.
 The colored men, as soon as they left the Transit house, were pursued by strikers and took refuge in the live stock exposition building of the yards The building was at ouce surrounded by strikers. but no further attempt was made to get at the strixe-breakers. The colored men are three of a number of men imported to replace stock handlers in the employ of the Union Stock Yards and Transit company who struck yester- day.

UNUSUAL CHARACTER
 DIES IN WASHINGTON
Judge w. George Reilly Had Held a Number of Consulate
 Positions.

Washington, September 1.-Judge w. George Reilly, a well-known character about town whose familiar haunts were on Newspaper Row, died here today at the Washington Asylum hospital from the effects of heat stroke suffered some time ago.
 Railing from Virginia, he several times held public office. and was a judge of the southern claims commission for that state. Twice he was United States con- suf to places in Venezuela, and also at one time was consul to Zanzibar to which offices he was appointed by republican Presidents.
 One of the stories told of him. but not authenticated, was that when filling the position of consul to Zanzibar he had shot the queen of the island with salt and pepper because she persisted in bathing in the garb of nature in front of the American consulate each afternoon. It was said he was recalled for this act but the state department records show that he resigned the Zanzibar consulate after holding it a year because of the death of a member of his family.

WAS UNABLE TO
 PREVENT THE PASSAGE

General kur oratkin was unable to pre- vent the passage of the river owing to the distance from Liao Yang, about twenty miles, but for the same reason the Japa- rese were unable to bring the forces which gained the right bank immediately into action
 KuropatlSin headed off the passage of the Taitse at Sakankankwantun after 6 o'clock on the evening of August 31, and immediately gave orders for his men to fall back on the outer positions. This move is explained by the desire to collect strong force with which to repel a flanking movement from the northeast
 The Japanese repeated the attempt to throw pontoons across the Taitse near Liao Yang during the night of August 31, again under cover of bombardment, and this attempt is believed to have been sue cessful Severe fighting may therefore be expected immediately northeast of the city.
 The action of the Japanese commander in throwing a force across the river. in the face of strong enemy Is considered to be extremely rash, and the position of this force. isolated rom the main Jap anese army by a deep river, may easily become desperate.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press at Vladivostok telegraphs that the Jap anese are relying on the gunboat fotilla for future operations at. Liao Yang and Mukden. The gunboats, the correspond ent says. have not yet materialized. but in any case they would be in no position to render aid to force on the right bank in time of need. because they would be unable ot run the gadntlet of the

HAD COURAGE TO
 COME DOWN SOUTH
PoPULIsT CANDIDATE IS FIRST FIRST MAN TO HEAD TICKET FROM SOUTH OF MASON AND DIxoN'S LINE.

Atlanta, September 1. = Thomas E. Watson, candidate of the peoples party for President, addressed an immense au- dience In the hall of the house of repre- sentatives of the Georgia legislature to- night.
 The address was delivered at the clos ing session of the state convention of the Georgia populists which met this after noon and chose electors and alternates and endorsed the nomination of MT. Wat son for the presidency.
 The convention was called to order by State Chairman J. J. Holloway and Judge J. J. Hines of Atlanta was made permanent chairman. In his opening ad- dress Judge Hines spoke strongly against fusion with the democratic party. He said that democrats had appealed to the peoples party for aid in the past, but that the two parties no longer travelled the same paths. He said:
 There is a solid south and a. solid north, kept solid by sectionalism. We are the first party ever to cross Mason and Dixon's line for a presidential can didate We are the first party that ever had the courage to come south for either head or tail to the national ticket"

PARKER MEETS
 LABOR LEADER  Bogart Makes Mysterious Call
 at Rosemount OTHERS PAY RESPECTS It Is Thought Mir. Bosart's Visit Was Not to Discuso the Mccarren
 Muddle In New
 York.
OTHERS PAY RESPECTS

Esopus. N Y, September 1.-The most interesting feature of the day at Rose mount was the visit of John B. N. Bo- gart one of the New York state organ izers of the American Federation of Labor, who came on the noon train to- day He spent two or three hours in conference with Judge Parker.
 MT. Bogart declared that he came to see Judge Parker merely in a personal way and as an old acquaintance Judge Parker refused to make any statement regarding MT. Bogart's errand. The ru- nor reached Esopus in advance of M Bo- garts coming that he was to discuss the attack of organized labor in New York city upon MT. MeCarren as chairman of the democratic executive committee.
 Nothing was obtained to confirm this runor, and there is the best of reason tonight for believing that the McCarren question was not even mentioned by Judge Parker or MT. Bogart.
 It is recalled that Mr Bogart has in the past been a worker for the demo- cratic party in the field of organized labor, and 1t probable that the matters ulSSuoocd iOuny ltidNcu eO bic PidSbiSdA work of organization.
 Two representatives in congress were among the callers today at Rosemount. One was James l.. Slayden of Texas, who came to pay his respects to the can didate. He said afterwards
 Judge Parker Is what we in the south call a first grade farmer"
 Representative Slayden said he would makc several speeches during the cam paign.
 The other congressman was MT. Shirley of 1lentncky. He said he happened to be in New York at Democratic head quarters and thought 1t well to see the candidate before returning to Kentucky.
 Kentucky is not debatable ground" he said. We shall return ten democratic congressman out of thirteen. As at pres ent outlined l shall make a number of speeches for the national ticket. With John Sharp Williams I will open the campaign in the Louisville district in about a fortnight"
 Among other visitors today were Col. P. M. Pearsall of Raleigh, N. C., private secretary to Governor Aycocl, and a member of the democratic state execu- tive committee of North Carolina, Judge Billuts of Oklahoma, and several we'll known democrats of the vicinity.

 Not miner raised a pick in the Coal Creek district today. but on the other hand fully 1000 were idle, both union and non-union. Notices had been sent all mines last night that the men should con- tnue work until an agreement was reached in conference, but the withdrawal of the Coal Creek operators from the con ference yesterday caused the men to pay no attention to the notices sent out by the United Mine Workers officials to con- tinue work.
 1t was authoritatively stated tonight that the operators of both the Coal Creek and Oliver Springs districts are deter mined that the men cannot come back to work unless they accept a 10 per cent reduction, which was the original com promise proposition of the operators. There will be 10000 idle miners tomorrow and If the feeling extends to Jellico, a thousand more will be added in that field.

Armies Are Still Aggressive.

Washington, September 1.-The Japanese legation has received the following tele- gram from Tokio dated today:
 "The resume of the reports received up to the afternoon of the 31st is as follows:
 Since August 27 our armies are contin- uing operations toward Liao Yang. On the morning of the z9th the right and central columns of the first army occupied posi- tions nine miles east of south Liao Yang, on the left bank of the Tatou river. The armies which were advancing along the Haicheng-Liao Yang road, in joint opera tion with the left column of the first army. took on the 29th a position facing the enemy's line of defense. which ex- tended to east and west from the point six miles south of Idao Yang. On the 30th severe fighting occupied the whole day, and 1t was still continuingfo ion the after noon of the 31st.
 The enemy appeared to co1sist of twelve or thirteen divisions.''

FIGHTING HAS
 BEATEN ALL RECORDS.

The fighting at Liao Yang has beaten all records for the desperate valor of the assailants and the invincible stubborn ness of the defenders. The whole history of warfare tells of no such lombard ments. no such carnage and no such per- sistence.
 Day after day the fight has been re- sumed at daybreak and kept up with hardly a moments intermission until after nightfall. War-scarred veterans scarce believe the stories that come from the seat of war. and declare that it is beyond human endurance for an army to fight without respite for a whole week, each day of which has exceeded its predecessor in intensity of struggle and carnival of slaughter.
 Day after day the thousands of dead bestrewing the battlefield have to be re- moved. The Japanese have invented new methods to incinerate the heaps of dead. comrades removing the ashes for the honors of burial in Japan.
 The wounded present a most serious problem, as they tax the energies of both sides to the utmost The most difficult problem, however, Is lne bringing up of supplies of food and ammunition to every point of the fighting line. which extends from ten to twenty miles.
 Never has such bombardmcnt been known. An eyewitness of the battle of Vafangow told the Associated Press cor respondent that many orncers suffered nervous prostration, owing to the terrible roar of the army, and one military at- tache had to be inva1ided home for the same reason. Yet the artillery fire at vafangow was far inferior in intensity to that of Liao Yang.

AMERICANS MAKE ANOTHER RECORD Pluck and Grit Tell at Olympic
 Games LIGHTB0DY SETS HOT PACE Defeats Many Contestants in the soo- Meter EVent-other olympian Records Are Broken Dur
 ing the Day.
.LIGHIB0DY SETS HOT PACE

St. Louis, September 1.--American ath- letes held the center of the stage today, the fourth of the Louisiana Purchase ex- position revival of the Olympic games. and to their pluck and grit belongs the credit for creating one worlds record and three Olympic records.
 One of the greatest races of the 1904 Olympiad was the 500 meter race. The distance in American measurement Is S7470 yards. Entered in the race were representatives of the United States, Germany, Canada and New Zealand. but the first four places were claimed by men running under the colors of Chicago. New York and Milwaukee athletic clubs.
 Not only did James D. Lightbody of the Chicago Athletic association lower the Olympic record by i've and two-ffths seconds. but he ran. the legs off tAe Ger man representative who collapsed in the finish.
 The pace proved also to be heart break ing for E. w. Breitkreutz of the Mii- waukee Athletic club who after crossing the tape in third place fell exhausted on the track, and it was several minutes be- fore he could leave the field.
 Makes Good Discus Throw.
 The discus throw was one Of the handi- cap events and attracted little attention until the announcers called the result of M. J. Sherldans first throw. It came within a few inches of equalling the worlds record made by himself of 127 feet 9Is inches.
 The second throw measured 130 feet g inches from the starting point. and the third attempt 132 feet even.
 The result of the 56-pound event proved a disappointment It was expected that Flanagan of the Greater New York Irish Athletic association would break the Olympic record, and possibly the worlds record. The New Yorker was defeated and was bested by E. Des Marteau of Montreal Canada. The latters besf: throw was 34 feet inches, two feet and three and half inches below Flanagan,s Olympic record. In the 56-pound handi- cap event Des Marteau did a trife better. throwing 34 feet 1Os4 Inches.
 Michael Prinzstein of the Greater New fork Irish Athletic association added Ca inches to the Olympic running broad Jump record established by A. D. Kraen- salein of the University of PennsylvanIa at the Paris games in 1900. Kraensalein who was also the Olympic champion in the 200 meter hurdle was deposed by IT L. Hillman of the New York Athletic club who crossed the tape in the record time of 24s4 seconds.
 There are no events scheduled for to- morrow.

 The details of today's fighting are scanty. It is only known that at dawn today General Oku's army was hurled against the Russian right center on the southern line, and that tae Russians were forced to abandon their line anI positions and retreat. Their pursuit is now in progress. The result of this plir- suit and the result of the fierce battle waged on the eastern line, where Gen. eral Kurok is assallng the force has long screened Liao Yang, together with the abandonment of the Russian right center on the southern line, exposes the Russian left.
 But here the Russian force is so heavy that it may possibly be able to protect occupation of Liao Yang by the Japanese Is not in doubt. The official dispatches do not make mention of such occupation, but 1t is assumed that the Russians are withdrawing through Liao Yang, and that the Japanese possibly occupied 1t late today. Tonight no estimates are obtainable of the losses on either side. Field Marshal Cyama describes his losses in the morning assault as heavy.
 The early success of the attack was somewhat unexpected on account of the strength of the Russians ( fhe natnre of the Russian defenses. It is confidently believed that Field Marshsd Oyama will press the pursuit with desperate vigor, and infllct on General Kuropatkin the most crushing blow possible. It is be- lieved that his trophies will prove valua- ble. It is the opinion here that the Rus sians were not able to carry many guns with them, and that they were forced to abandon or destroy vast quantities of ammunition and stores.
