COMMUNICATIONS OUT.
IuropatIxin Makes No Mention of Stalk
 elberg or zaroubaieff.

f3l St. Petersburg, Aug. 5.--3:1O a. m. Brhe fact that General Kuropatkin's re- Eent dispatches have not mentioned Ee.neral Stakelberg or General Zarouba- Jeff leads to the supposltion here that &heir forces to the southward may have had their communications cut by Gem #ral Nodzu's army
 The fact that there is no further news
 from the front beyond a long account
 From General zassalitch of the fighting lii Simoucheng on July 31 bears out the Associated Press explanation that the
 Japanese are halting to bring up sup *plies, especially ammunition, in which
 a modern engagement entails an ex- Stravagant expenditure and without (which it would be impossible even for a
 Victorious army to follow up it's suc- &cess
 The official estimated loss of over 1000 &agrees with the figures in a belated dis <patch from Liao Yang referring to the Ssame fighting, and which also says that 4the Russians were fully prepared to , hold their positions when commanded . to retire, which was carried out in per-
 feet order.
 The tropical heat continues and there 8haye been many sunstrokes The receiupt of General zassalitch's dispatch was generally known to-day and gave rise to extravagant rumors of further fighting around Haicheng, and several press dispatches were sent off
 describing a fresh battle between the forces of General Zassalitch and Gener- E al OlSu.
 There is no apparent justification for such sensational reports. The best in formed military authorities declare that there has been no fighting since the Russians fell back to Liandiansian Anping and Anshanshan.

People Anxious to Hear Report of Suc-t cess at Port Arthur.
 Tokio, August 10., 4 p. m.-The Jap knese are hourly awaiting tidings of kictory at Port Arthur with more in- zerest and eagerness than heretofore displayed during the war. From po- Eltical, strategical and sentimental &tandpoint, the position of the Russian Fortress and naval base is considered &f paramount importance to the Jap &nese. It is known that the Japanese 6loose about the besieged city is gradu- &lly tightening. The Japanese guns are pouring fire into the diminishing circle, &nd 1t is felt here that the critical hour #s fast approaching. But the public 6lere is ignorant of the hour when the Sinal assault will be made, and also of &he details Of the work already done krourd Port Arthur. It is believed that 8he fire from the Japanese batteries Rxin compel the Russian fleet to leave The laarbor and accept battle with Adj
 niral Togo. It is becoming proverbial that the Japanese infantry will go any,
 where, and will refuse to retire. no
 matter how great their losses may be. It is believed that Port Arthur could
 have been taken before this time With
 5 heavy loss of life, but it is evident that the military leaders are working
 .o effect the reduction and capture the
 fortress with the minimum loss of life. There will be no charges of great mass
 es of infantry until the artillery has
 finished the task of silencing the Rus

 effect that the emperor has expressed
 he wish that the capture shall be eff sected with the smallest possible loss Af life, hence the care and precision

 New Britain. Aug. 4--This afternoon and evening the police continued their investigation into the murder of Charles Bosworth, but announced late tonight that there were absolutely no develop ments. Every possible effort is being made by the police all over the state to gather information that might lead to the arrest of even 3, suspect, but they have been unsuccessful so far, but are not yet satisfied that the murderer is out of the state. The New Britain and Hartford police believe that the man is in hiding about this sestion of the state but they have practically no description to work upon, which makes it one of the most difficult cases they Ihave had to handle in years. The body | of the dead gambler will be taken to Hartford tomorrow for burial.

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1904-09-09

The Republican plurality in Vermont is
the largest ever recorded except in 1896,
when the sane Democrats refused in
large numbers to join Bryan in his as
sault upon the national currency system.
We have been told all through the cam
paign that the Democrats are united this
year, and that the wiser men of the Dem
ocratic party who were led astray
in the last two national elections were
back in the fold again. We have all be-
lieved this We have all had proof in
our communities that the statement was
correct. Here in Brattleboro men like
w. II. Childs, Martin Austin, jr., c. H.
Davenport and others again count them
selves as Democrats although they could
not swallow the Bryan heresies of 1896
and 1900 Knowing that the gold Demo-
Gratis are back in the ranks, what does
the result mean? Simply this, that Yer
mont Republicans have won a greater
victory than ever before, and that their
declaration, which they understood to be
primarily for Roosevelt, reveals the pres
ent president as stronger in the hearts
of Vermonters than any previous Presi-
Dental nominee of the party. Vermont,
as the barometer, has simply forecasted
a sweeping Republican victory in No
vember.

p. w. Clement has an opportunity to
make the dry bones rattle in Rutland
The conditions in that city, under both IL
cense and prohibition since the present
law went into effect, have undoubtedly
been worse than in any city or town of
the state, and the liquor commissioners
have repeatedly come in for grape and
canister from the Rutland Herald, in
which Mr.. Clement is the directing force.
At the meeting of the aldermen of Rut-
land Monday evening DR.. ]. f. Thomp-
son and James p. Sawyer, chairman and
secretary of the license commissioners,
resigned. The aldermen elected Mr..
Clement to fill Mr. Sawyer's unexpired
term. Mr.. Clement may perform a gem
uine public service. and in view of the
energy which he has displayed in tack
ling propositions we have no doubt he
will meet the emergency, To put Rutland
right on the liquor question, how
ever, is a greater task than cleaning the
Augean stables. When it comes to booze
Rutland appears to be inherently and ha-
bitually wrong. What Rutland needs is
to be purged and then born again.

THE WAR NEWS.
Russians in Retreat Near Murkden.

Direct news from the seat of war was
received Sunday via Toxic in a report
from Field Marshal Oyama saying that
Liaoyang fell completely into the hands
of the japanese at 3 o'clock that morn
ing, that the Japanese casualties were
believed to be heavy, and that nothing
was known by the Japanese of conditions
south of the Taitse river
The only comfort for the Russians at
home was the news, conveyed in re-
port from Gen Kuropatkin, dated Sat
urday afternoon. that Gen. Stakelberg's S
first Siberian army corps of 5000 men,
reported Saturday as having been cut off
to the westward of Liaoyang, had been
safely eXtricated and that the corps
has succeeded in joining the main Rus
sian body on the right bank of the river,
but no details of the escape of Stakel-
berg are known. Gen. Kuropatkin also
reported that the greater portion of his
army was at the time of filing the re-
port south of Yentai, 10 miles north
east of Liaoyang a few miles from the
Yentai mines. where fierce fighting had
been in progress.
1t is indicated that there has been a
cessation of the tiercer fighting Ku-
ropatkin reporting that his men were not
being much interfered with by the
Japanese in the near neighborhood of his
army.
The bulk of the Russian army is re-
ported near Moukden, and the officials at
St. Petersburg believe that the danger of
loss of a part of Kuropatkin's forces is
past No dispatches from the opposing
commanders were made public either at
Toxic or st. Petersburg. Both armies
are said to be exhausted.
Advices from Moukden said that the
city was in a tumult being crowded with
troops, guns and transports. Many fam
lilies fleeing to Harbin. The feeling
among the Chinese against the Russians
is growing with the Japanese advance.
Great quantities of food and ammuni-
tion, a dispatch from Toxic reported, had
been saved from the flames at Lao-Yang
The Japanese Emperor in message of
congratulation to the troops said that the
end of the war was far distant.
