Reports from the scene of battle be-
tween General Kuropatkin and the
Japanese around LiaO-Yang are
meager, but a study of the various
dispatches shows it to have been one
Of the most sanguinary struggles of
modern times. In the first two days
Of fighting it appears that 10000 lives
were sacrificed. The losses are about
evenly distributed between the jap
anese and Russians, according to all
available accounts of an unbiased na
ture. Russian correspondents, how
ever, agree in declaring that by far
the heaviest losses have been suffered
by the Japanese.
When darkness closed over the CORY
battlefield on the second night neither
combatant, apparently, had gained a
decisive advantage. General KurOpat-
kin's men ON the south and southeast
sill held their trenches. On the eX-
treme left flank, however, 1t was re-
ported that General Kuroki had found
weak spot, that the Russian line
was wavering and that the japanese
seemed about to get around it SO as to
strike the main Russian position in the
rear.
All accounts agree in saying that all
of kurokfs, Oku's and NOdZu's troops
participated in the renewed battle and
that the fighting was continuous along
the entire Russian line, a distance OF
about nine miles.
The japanese opened their attack on
the second day as soon as the eastern
sky began TO show the first gray
streaks of dawn. The rain of the
night had left the plain sodden with
mud, but this did not canse the Jap
anese to falter. The sky was clear
and this fact gave the gunners on both
sides their opportunity.
From their LOCO cannon the Japan
ese poured a deadly shrapnel fire into

to be concentrating for their main
blow. The Russians suffered princi-
pally from the shrapnel fire of the jap
anese artillery.
The japanese searched the whole
countryside with their fire, selecting
certain squares of territory on which
for n few moments they massed hail
of shot and shell from all their guns
Then they passed to another square,

GREAT BATTLES OF MODERN WARS.
War News in Brief.


The first day of the desperate Lao
sian arms, according to st. Petersburg
advices, the charges Of the japanese on
three sides of the city being repulsed.
\ Japanese supply steamer, said to
have had S5,000,000 on board for the
japanese army, was stopped by a Chefoo
official, and torpedo craft from Dalny
rushed into port in the night and rescued
the cash.
Russia has equipped two steamers, the
Korea and the Kitai, belonging to the
Danish-Russian East Asiatic Steamship
Company, as auxiliary cruisers. The
vessels will be attached to the Baltic
squadron. 4
The Japanese have made some gains
in their advance on the fortress Mt Port
Arthur. They have destroyed the fort at
Tungkia Tashan, mounted guns on an
adjoining hill and are bombarding the
inner defenses from this position.
Recently a Japanese officer tried to
gain entrance into Port Arthur in sack
carried by Il Chinaman. The mouth Of
the sack was filled with cabbages. A
sentry stuck bayonet into the bag and
| exposed the artifice. Both the japanese
and the Chinaman were shot.
Early Tuesday morning the japanese
appeared on the hills east and southeast
of Liaoyang. At IL o'clock the Japanese
infantry advanced very boldly from the
south on to Mount Shoushan and took
| the villages nine versts south of LAO
yang on the railway line. The Russian
shells did great execution. There was
pile of about, score of khaki-clad
japanese bodies, the result of a single
shell falling in front of Shoushan from
n Russian trench. When this shell fell
the japanese infantry began fire.
From the beginning of the war all the
land operations of the two belligerents
have been leading up to the Laoyang
conflict. The one question has been as
to whether or not Gen. Kuropatkin
would be sufficiently strong when the

who were careful not to overstock
with summer goods, and are conse-
quently In an unusually strong posi-
tiOn with reference to securing fall
supplies. Good orders are being re-
ceived from country merchants. While
dispatches from various centers are
not uniform in expressing trade revi-
val, the tone is more confident than a
week ago and generally suggestive Of
a hopeful outlook for the future.
This revival is particularly reported
by Chicago wholesalers. The best de-
mand is noted In clothing. mems and
women's apparel and shoes. Consump-
tiOn Of commodities and better orders
for canned goods and groceries are
further indications of trade revival in
this district
The South is also active, and is like
ly to develop the heaviest fall trade
reported in years.
The ST. Paul district, which has
been the center of crop damage ex-
citement, is showing up well with
conservative business and normal
trade outlook. In that section, as in
other territory whose prosperity Is af-
fected by the wheat yield, the people
are prosperous and not in the least
concerned at the crop killing scare
While business is still disturbed in
some sections by the continuance of
labor controversies, this interruption
Is not important, and is not likely to
extend to branches not already affect
ed.
Although collections are g little
backward in some sections general re-
turns this week are satisfactory ex-
cept in certain instances where local
conditions have developed unusual
barriers. 1t Is noticeable, however,
that localities which a short time ago

The fact that present Indebtedness

Of goods that for the most part have
been readily converted into cash shows
that conditions in general are propi-
tious for quick settlements.
The presidential election is still

where trade development has been
held up pending a definite settlement
Of the issues involved. But it is be-
coming generally recognized that the
present contest does not involve ques-
tions of far-reaching Importance to the
business community, and that aside
from the occasional Interruptions due
to the carrying on of hot campaign
the outlook for September and October
is bright.
