BATTLE IS BEGUN
ADVANCE OF RUSSIANS CHECKED
But Engagement May Not Prove Gen.
eraI.-Japanese are Strongly En-
trenched in Yentai Triangle.


st. Petersburg, Oct 12.-2: 10 a. m.
Severe fighting north of Yentai, re-
sulting in a temporary check of Gen.
Kuropatkin's advance guard, is not re-
garded at the war office as indicating
general engagement
The latest official dispatches indi-
eating the disposition of the various
corps show that the whole army is not
yet in line of battle. The present situ-
alton may therefore be regarded as
the result of a counter attack which
an enterprising foe like the Japanese
might be expected to make, but with
out any calculation to prevent the Rus
sian advance.
Gen. Kuropatkin's superiority in
numbers, it is held here, is bound
sooner or later to compel the Japanese
to fall back upon their strong posi-
tions within the triangle formed by
Yentai, Lao Yang and Sykwantun.
Everything points to that district as
being. the prospective scene of the de-
cisive struggle of this years cam
paign. Strategic results of the most
tive for the Russians as well as the
Japanese to bestow their chief atten-
tion upon the country east of the rail
way.
The Russians are compelled to this
course because the railroad runs north
eastward and hence lines of communi-
cation are more vulnerable from the
east. The Japanese are influenced by
similar considerations, but the
railroad no longer plays foremost
part in their plans.
In view of the approaching close of
navigation at Yinkow and Of the fact
that the line at Pitsewo is long and
cumbersome and liable to Interrupt
ton, they must consider Feng Wang
Cheng and Takushan as the source of
supplies during the winter. and with
this in view the eastern communica-
tions of Lao Yang are of the utmost
Importance. The Yental triangle is ad-
mirably situated to protect them.
Field Marshal Oyama must, there
fore. hold this triangle at all costs.
The problem confronting General
Kuropatkin in the immediate future
is the capture of the fortified heights
composing this triangle, where the
Japanese will have the advantage of
fighting behind breastworks and utiliz-
ing their superiority in mountain guns.
The general superiority of the Japan
ese in mountain operations is con-
ceded.
The Russian commander undoubt-
edly is aware of the difficulties of
the task before him, has measured
them well and is confident of his abil-
ity to overcome them. If General
Kuropatkin possessed an army of half
a million men he could leave a suffi-
cient force to attack the triangle
while he moved with the remainder
around the eastern and western
flanks. This is considered in the best
informed circles at the war Office to
be impracticable with the numbers
now composing General Kuropatkin' s
army, and a frontal advance is the
only alternative. Operations, how
ever, are likely to be marked by feints
on the right and left. The Japanese
probably will make similar move
ments until both armies become in
volved in death struggle.

TO ELECT DELEGATES.

The Democratic convention, with its
warning fac tions and contesting dele
cations, is matter of history, and in
terest centres in the Republican gath
ering, which will meet in the Taylor
Opera house, in Trenton, May 10, to
elect four delegates-at-large to the ma
ti0nal convention, which meets in
Chicago i'm June. There are no con-
testing delegations to this convention
up to date, and nothing is in sight
which gives evidence of possessing any
ability to disturb the harmony of the
occasion.
1t is now generally accepted that
the delegates-at-large will be Cover
nor Franklin Murphy, United States
Senators John Kean and John f. Dry
den and probably David Baird. Sever
al candidates have appeared for the
place of alternate-at-large, of whom
there will be four also. Perhaps the
most conspicuous among them is Rev.
/. w. l.. ROundtree, the colored di-
vine, who is more otter referred to as
"the dominic politician" Dominic
Roundtree believes that in bestowing
upon him the distinction of an alter
nate-at-large to the national conven-
tion the Republican party would but
afford the colored men of the state the
recognition to which their services to
the party entitled them, and help
them to become self-reliant.
In most cases the delegates to the
Chicago convention from the congress
sional districts have been practically
agreed upon.
Union, Morris and Warren make
up the Fifth district. The first named
county will not ask either for a dele
gate or an alternate. 1t will have one
of the delegates-at-large in the person
of Senator John Kean, and one of the
electors on the presidential ticket, and
it is willing to believe that that will
be enough for one election. The dele
gates and the alternates will be divid-
ed between the other two countries.
John l. Blair Riley, Of Warren, and
James II. McGraw, chairman of the
Morris county Republican committee,
will be the delegates, but the alter
mates have not yet been agreed upon.
