ST. Petersburg, Aug. An dis

General Kuropatkin says:
"Our troops have retired from Hal
chene along the road toward Anshan'
shan. The movement was accomplish
ed in perfect order and the enemy
did not disturb us"
There has been complete and omi-
nous silence regarding events at the
front since the receipt Of General Ku'
rOnatkin's brief dispatch of August q.
Even this reagre official information
was anticipated By earlier adyiees to
the Associated Press,
There are neither official nor press
dispatches to Indicate the progress OF
fighting around Lao Yang. where 1t is
felt that a most serious situation must
exist. It is thought possible that there
NAV be a temporary lull. The terri
bio heat al0ne would be enough to de-
morali2c the armies and 1t would not

There IS the grayest anxiety here
IN learn whether General Kuropatkln
is seriously giving battle or Is deter
minedly screening the withdrawal OF
his main force. There Is persistent
story afoat that the Russian army has
boon moving north for some days, but
this cannot be confirmed.
No information can be obtained re-
garding the reported sinking OF the
Japanese armorcd cruiser Kasuga.
General Kuropatkin's armies are
now concentrating upon Lao yang,
falling back respectively upon An
shanshan. Liandiansian and Anping,
These three points form ring OF
clOsely-knlt defcnses around Lao yang
and enable General Kuropatkin 10 risk
general engagement. The only cause
for anxiety is Anping, and General
RurOpatkin's words that he hoped the
troops would hold that place indicate
n misgiving. The Japanese evidently
realized the advantage of attacking
this point. and directed their strongest
advance along the Saisat2l-LiaO Yang
line.
From the best information obtain
able as 10 General Kuropatkin's DIS
positions his forces were located this
morning as follows
General Zaroubaieff's and General
stal,elberg's corps formed the right
wing al Anshanshan. The First Siber-
ian and the Tenth European corps
were on the left. The recently arrived
Seventeenth corps and the portion OF
General Stoessel's corps which Is not
at Port Arthur we're at Lao Yang.
Intense anxiety prevails in all cir
clos. All newspaper specials from the
front are suspended. which is consid'
cred Ominous.

Like the German Emperor he desires

Between Mr.. Roosevelt's views of the

American people on that subject there
is very wide difference He evidently
thinks the president of the United
States is sort of dictator, while the
people rightly regard him merely as
their chief magistrate and as the ex.
ecutive head of the administration. This
dominating conception of his official
duties has excited widespread resent

Free silver was only threatening
peril from which the election of Nc
Kinley saved the nation. Free trade
was the road to ruin from which his
election diverted the national course.
The election of 1896 saved the United
States from Clevelandism no less than
from Organism, and Clevelandism is a
peril into which the people are not
likely to fling the country in reaction
from Organism. The threat of Bryan
ism has not obscured the dangers of
Clevelandism. The people have had
full experience Of the miseries pro-
duced by the latter and do not feel
encouraged to bring them on again.
