hardly a moments intermission until after nightfall.
 War-scarred veterans scarce believe the stories which come from the seat of war and declare that 1t Is beyond human endurance for any army to fight without respite for a whole week, each day of which has exceeded its prede- cessor in intensity of struggle and car nival of slaughter.
 Dead Buried on Field.
 Day after day the thousands of dead bestrewing the battlefield have to be removed 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 prob lem as they tax the energies of both sides to the utmost. The most difi- cult problem. however, is the bringing Iup of supplies of food and ammunition to every point of the fighting line, which extends from ten to twenty miles.
 Never has such a hombardment been known An eye witness of the battle of Vafangow told the Associated Press that many officers suf- fered nervous prostration owing to the terrible roar of the army, and one military attache had to be invalided home for the same reason. Yet the ar tillery fire at Vafangow was far infe- rior in intensity to that at Liaoyang.

RAPID TRANSIT TROUBLE.

Belmont Thinks Matters win be Ad-
 justed Without Strike.
 New York, Sept. 1.--Another fruit1ess effort to settle the threatened trouble between the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the employees was made today by committee representing both interests. At the conclusion of the meeting. which was held at the home of August Belmont. the announce ment was made that no agreement had been reached. Mir. Belmont was of tho opinion that the situation would be ad- justed without serious trouble. As- sistant Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, took a more pessimistic view.
 The situation is critical" said he when asked how the negotiations had progressed.
 Speaking of today's conference, Mir, Belmont said: We were not able to agree. but the committee Is considerins some proposition and another confer ence will be held at which hope to have the trouble adjusted do moi Seiieve the.e will be any strike. ana II think that everything will come out all around in the end.''
 Chief Stone later made a pubiic statement in which he said .'The electric engineers of the interborougt rapid transit subway asked that the wage scale and hours of labor now in effect on the Interborough tnameiy $3.50 for nine hours) the companies of- fer $3 for ten hours be extended to the subway operated by the same cor poration. The statement that we are asking an increase in wages is wrong as this wage scale has been in exist ence for years"

ULTIMATUM OF OPERATORS.
Miners Must Accept Per Cent. Re.
 ducffOn or Quit.

Knoxville. Tenn. Sept. 1.-An ulti- matum was issued by the mine opera tors of District No. 1s to their men in conference here this afternoon. It Is to accept per cent reduction or quit. With that the operators left the conference and the miners went into secret session to discuss the proposi- ton. They did not reach an agreement tonight but will meet again in the morning Today's discussions were marked with a great degree of warmth and at one time a crisis was reached. but cooler heads prevailed.
 Not a miner raised 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 continue work until an agree ment was reached in conference but the withdrawal of the Coal Creek op- orators from the conference yesterday caused their men to pay no attention to the notices sent by United Mine Workers officials to continue work.
 It was authoritatively stated tonight that the operators of both the Coal Creek and Oliver Springs district are determined that the men cannot come back to work unless they accept 10 per cent. reduction which was the orig inal compromise proposition of the op- orators. There will be 2,500 idle min CTS tomorrow and if the feeling ex- tends to Jellico, thousands more will he added in that field.

gaged from Wednesday morning throughout the day, but its efforts t9 disiodge the Russians failed The right column of the left wing resumed the attack Wednesday. Several assaults proved futile and the Japanese troops were beaten back finally.
 Being reinforced. they again ad- vanced and secured a position at nooi on an eminence southwest of Hsin Lin- tun. This ground proved to be an ad- vantageous point from which a fnal ard effective charge was delivered at dawn Thursday. bringing the first victory.
 The centre column, after repulsins the Russians in a night attack. pressed the Russians against the railway with a portion of the left column and sue !. ceeded in repulsing a series of assaults.
 The Russians continued to hold an eminence west of Shoushanpao and de. fled all efforts to dislodge them. The eminence was finally taken by storm by Thursday morning. The entire left wing. with all Its force. continued against the Russian line throughout Wednesday. At 8 o'clock in the after noon a force of Russians appeared i've miles northwest of Shoushanpao. The Japanese reserves attacked it.
 Late Wednesday telegram was dis patched to the general stan at Tokio saying that the left wing with all fs energy had renewed the attack and af- terward charged against the enemy's position.

LABOR LEADER CALLS
J. B. N. BoGART PAYS VISIT TO
 JUDGE PARKER.
He DecIares His Trip to Escpus Was Only of Per.onsl Nature--Two Congressmen Visitors at
 Rosenaoant.

EsoLus, NY. Sept. 1.--The md1. ,nterestins feature of the day at Rose
 mount was the visit of John B. N. Bo- gart, one of the New York State orga- nizers of the American Federation of Labor who came on the noon train to- day and spent two or three hours In conference with Judge Parker. Mir.
 Borart declared that he came to see
 Judge Parker merely in personal way and as an old acquaintance.
 Judge. Parker refused to make any statement regarding Mir. Bogarts err rand The rumor reached .Esopus In advance of Mir. Bogart's coming that he was to discuss the attack of orga- nized labor in New York upon Senator McCarren as Chairman. of the Demo. cratic State Executive Committee. Nothing was obtainable to confirm this rumor and there is the best possible reason tonight for believing that the McCarren question was not even men,
 toned by Judge Parker or Mir. Bogart. It is recalled that MT. Bogart has in the past been a worker for the Demo- cratic party in the field of organized lagor and 1t is probable that the mat
 ters discussed today related to the
 practical work of the campaign. Two representatives in Congress were among the callers today at Rosemount
 
 who came to pay his respects to the candidate. He said afterwards: Judge Parker strikes me as the
 highest type of American gentleman | by which I mean a first grade farmer
 what we in the South call a high -class | planter"
 Representative Slayden said he | would make several speeches during the campaign.
 The other Congressman was MT
 Shirley of Kentucky. He said he hap pened to be in New York at Demo- cratic national headquarters and thought 1t well to see the candidate be-
 before returning to Kentucky. Kentucky is not debatable ground. he said. we shall return ten Demo- cratic Congressmen out of eleven. At present I shall make number of speeches for the national ticket. With
 John Sharp Williams I will open the campaign in Louisville district in about
 fortnight"
 Among other visitors were Colonel
 P. M. Pearsall of Raleigh. N. C.. private secretary to Governor Aycock and a member of the Democratic State Execu- tive Committee of New York; Judge l Billuts of Oklahoma and several well l known Democrats of this vicinity. '

NEW RECORDS MADE
AMERICAN ATHLETES HOLD THE
 BOARDS AT ST. LOUIS.
James D. Lighfbody of Chicago Breaks Down His Competitors in the 500 Meter Race-Throw-
 ing the Discus.

St. Louis. Sept. 1.--American ath- letes held the center of the stage to- day, the fourth of the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition revival of the Olym- pic games-and to their pluck and grit belongs the credit for creating one worlds record and three Olympic rec ords.
 One vf the great races of the nine- teenth Olympiad was the s00-met [ race The distance in American meas urement is S74.79 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 5 2-5 seconds, hut he. ran the legs of the Germ n representative, who collapsed at the finish.
 The pace proved also to be hcart- breaking for E. W. Breitkreutz of the Milwaukee Athletic Club who, after crossing the tape in third place, fell exhausted on the track and 1t was sev- eral minutes before he could leave the field.
 The discus throw was one of the handicap events and attracted little at tention until the announcers called the result of NJ. J. Sheridan's first throw It came within a few inches of equal ling the worlds record made by him self of 127 feet 1-2 inches.
 The second throw measured 130 feet 9 inches from the starting point and the third attempt 132 feet even.
 The result of the 56-pound event proved a disappointment. It was ex- pected that Flanagan of the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association would break the Olymp.c record and possibly the worlds record. The New Yorker failed and was bested by a clean foot by F. Des Marteau of Mon- treal, Canada. The latters best throw was 34 feet inches, feet 3 f-2 inches below FIanagan's Olympic record. In the 56-pound handicap event. Des Mar teau did trife better throwing 34 feet 10 3-4 inches.
 Michael Prinsteink of the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association running broad jump record establish ed by A F.. Kraenstlein of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania at the Paris games in 1900. Kraensalein, who was also the Olympic champion in the 200 metre hurdle, was deposed by H. I. Hillman of the New York Athletic Club who cross the tape in the record time of 24 34 seconds.
 There are no events scheduled for tomorrow.

AFTER MOST DESPERATE BATTLE
 KNOWN TO WARFARE, JAPANESE
 OCCUPY THE TONY OF LIAOYANG
JAPANESE TAKE HILL AFTER BEING
 REFUSED REPEATEDLY BY RUSSIANS

Tokio, Sept. 1.-(s p. m)-Additional details of the fighting at Liaoyang. which are arriving here clearly enough indicate their character. The Ja- panese have changed the method of numbering their armies since their union. calling General KurokiS army the right. General Nodzu's the centre and General Oku's the left.
 A portion of the left column of the right wing. after dislodging the Rus sfans occupying an eminence north of Hsuchiantou toward evening on August 20. was exposed to a violent attack by the reinforced Russians and retired during the night to a ridge south of Hsuchiantou. where they held their DO sition.
 The Russiens prepared to follow up their attack. but desisted. The right and center of the right wing with its main strength commenced a movement at II o'clock on the night of August 30. crossing the Taitse River near Lfentaowan. and advanced toward Huangkufen. It Is anticipated that it occupied a line extending from Hanja- lasui to Tsuatuo, but details of the movement have not been reported
 The Russian artillery fire against tho right column of the Japanese center abated somewhat yesterday. The fl- fantry continued unabated The Japan csc held their positions. The left col. umn of the centre was vigorously en-

dered portion of his army to ford 1t at Sakankankwantum.
 kuropatkin Was PowerIess.
 General Kuropatkin was unable to prevent the passage of the river owing to the distance from Liaoyang, about twenty miles, but for the same reason the Japanese were unable to bring the forces which gained the right bank irn- mediately into action.
 kuropatkin heard of the passage of the Taitse at Sakankankwantun. after o'clock on the evening of August 3l. and immediately gave orders for his men to fall back on the outer posi- tions. This move Is explained by the desire to collect a strong force with which to repel a fsnking movement from the northeast.
 The Japanese repeated the attempt to throw pontoons across the Taitse near Liaoyang during the night of August 31, again under cover of a bonn bardment and this attempt Is believed to have been successful. Severe fight ing may therefore be expected imme- diately northeast of the city.
 The action of the Japanese comman- der in throwing a force across the riv- CT in the face of strong enemy, is considered to be extremely rash and the position of this force. Isolated from the main Japanese army by deep river, may easily become desperate.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press at VladivoStok telegraphs that the Japanese are relying on tthe gun boat 1otilla for future operations against Liaoyang and Mukden.
 Gun Boats Not Present.
 The gungoats, the correspondent 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 to run the gauntlet of the forts at Liaoyang The strongest forts are situated on the right bank where the Russian army is now con- centrated
 The fighting at Liaoyang has beaten all records for the desperate vaIor of the assatlants and the invincible stub bornness of the defenders The whole history of warfare tells of no such bombardments no such carnage and no such persistence.
 Day after day the fight has been re- stunned at daybreak and kept up with
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-09-02

burg correspondent of the Associated Press obtained an opinion from the War Offlce that the withdrawal to the
 right bank of the Taitse River became necessary so that the Russians would
 be able to repel blow in that dIrec. tion and that General Kuropatkin's
 movement was the carrying out of a
 well-defined idea rather than re- treat.
 The same dispatch points out withou, comment that the Japanese took ad- vantage of General Kuropatkin's with
 drawal to occupy the city of Liaoyang The second dispatch which may have
 significant bearing on the campaign Is that filed at Mukden ats9:37 D. m
 Thursday saying that the train service
 between Mukden and Liaoyang was in , terrupfed and t may Tean thateottfrs of railroad communication which would deprive General Kuropatkin of a ready opportunity to retreat to his more north ern base at Mukden. As pointed out in the St. Petersburg dispatch the Mukden correspondent does not men, tion whether the telegraphic eommuni- lcations are open.

 Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. '1.-Following is the Democratic State ticket:
 For Governor. George W. Peck; Lieu tenant Governor, Dr. H. A. Lathrop; Secretary of State. James P. Nolan; Treasurer, Andrew Jensen; Attorney General. William F, Wolfe.
 Former Governor George W. Peck of Milwaukee was today chosen as the standard bearer of the Democrats Of Wisconsin; having received the nomina- ton for Governor by exclamation amid great enthusiasm. The platform upon which the nominees will stand cordially approves the principles declared by the last National Democratic Convention at St. Louis and the nomination of Parker and Davis for President and Vice-Presi- dent.
 The platform favors the creation of a commission to regulate all public service corporations. favors a law com polling railway companies operating railroads in Wisconsin to sell mileage books at a flat rate of two cents per mile. The primary election law pass ed by the last legislature is strongly opposed and the present State admin istration is roundly scored.

JAPANESE CAPITAL RINGS WITH
 SHOUTS OF .BANZAI'' OF POPULACE

Iiaoyang by the Japanese Is in doubt The official dispatches do not make mention of such occupation, but l: Is assumed that the Russians are with drawing through Liaoyang and that the Japanese possibly occupied it late today.
 Tonight no estimates are obtaInable of the losses on either side. F cid Marshal Oyama describes his losses in the morning assault as heavy.
 The early success of the attack was somewhat unexpected on account of the Russian guns and the nature or tho Russian defenses.
 It is confidently believed that Field Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit with desperate vigor and infiict on General Kuropatkin the most crushing blow possible. It is believed that h. trophies will prove valuable. It Is the opinion here that the Russians were not able to carry many guns with them and that they were forced to abandon or destroy vast quantities of ammuni- ton and stores.

Tokio, Sept. 1.-(3 p. m. STokio rings with shouts and cheers for the victory at Liaoyang. Lantern bearing crowds swing through the streets and surge around the staff offices shouting "Banzai."
 The details of today's fighting are scanty. It is only known that at dawn today General Okus army was hurled against the Russian right cen tre on the southern line. and that the Russians were forced to abandon their line and positions and retreat. Their pursuit is now in progress.
 The result of this pursuit and the re- suit of the battle waged on the eastern line where General Kuroki is assailine the force which has long screened Liaoyang. together with the abandon ment of the Russian southern line, ex- poses the Russian left. But here the Russian force is so heavy that 1t may possibly he able to protect and extri- cate itself.
