Desperate Fighting.

The fighting at Tsegow was of the most
desperate description. The Japanese had
the advantage of the mountainous coun-
try, advancing along a ridge extending
from Tantziaputzy to Siaolindzy. The lat
ter place is situated on the high road, ten
miles southeast of Lao Yang, Possession
of this point would render Liandiansian
and Anping untenable. 1t is not improb-
able that General Kuroki will therefore re-
peat his attack in this direction.
The Japanese advance was characterized
by the greatest bOldneSS, and arouSes the
belief in military circles that either Cen
eral Kuroki has received considerable REIN
forcements or General Kuropatkin has
sent the greater part of his army north,
leaving only a couple of corps at Lao
Yang.
The absence Of news of Japanese move
ment along the Taitse river, In order 10
flank Lao Yang, confirms the latter view,
as 1t would expose the attackers to pelng
cut off by General Kuropatkin's main army
from the north.
Bayonets Used.
Toward the east the battle was especial
ly severe. Bayonets were used and there
the Russians lost a thousand men.
A dispatch from General Kuropatkin to
Emperor Nicholas, dated August 20, and
referring to the fighting of August %, says
the Japanese took the offensive only against
the troops on the Russian left. The
strength of the Japanese was estimated as
two divisions Of infantry with numerous
gun.
The dispatch closes:
"At dawn August 20 the Japanese as
sumed the offensive along the entire front
of our army
Simultaneous Attacks.
TOKYO, August 27.-It is reported here
that General Oku began the attack upon
the Russians at Anshanshan yesterday at
the same time that General Kuroki began
to attack them at Anping.
Anshanshan is midway between Haicheng
and Lao Yang and Anping is thirteen
miles southeast of Lao Yang.
Fighting All Day Today.
PARIS, August PA dispatch to the
Temps from Lao Yang, timed $50 pm to-
day, says the engagement continued
throughout today east and south of the
town. The Japanese directed strong can
nonade against Russian positions. the firing
lasting from daylight until pm. Hospital
trains are being sent toward the front.

Foul Ship Bottoms Increase Consump

AS result of certain facts developed by
the cruise Of the North Atlantic battle ship
squadron in European waters it is not un-
likely that it will be found necessary to
dock battle ships oftener than once year
One ship. according to the official reports
just received at the Navy Department
averaged 3.15 knots per ton of coal and an
other only 2.46 knots per ton. OF two ships
in this squadron it was found that one was
consuming so per cent more coal than the
other because of the fact that the former
had not been docked for nearly year ana
her bottom was consequently SO foul as to

RACE FOR A RICH PRIZE
100000 PURSE HUNG UP IN THE
BIG FUTURITY TODAY.
Notable Entries at the Sheepshead Bay
Track-Three Horses Have
Never Been Beaten.

NEW YORK, August 27.-With a money
value Of about GO,0O0 and list of entries
promising fast time and a close race the
Futurity on the opening day OF the autumn
meeting attracted one Of the greatest
crowds in the history of the Sheepshead
Bay track. Run for the eighteenth time,
the race today will probably equal, II II
does not surpass in interest, any of the re-
markable contests that have been made
for this famous stake.
Three of the entries, Syeonby, Tanya and
Tradition have never been beaten. and the
field as whole is very well balanced. Sy-
sonby, described by many as the greatest
two-year-old since Domino, and wild Mint
represent James r. Keene's stables Then
come the four representatives from H. B.
Dawn and Pioneer, all of which by their
work this season have gained firm support
ers. Sydney Padget wen last year with
Hamburg Belle and today he is making his
sending three youngsters into the lists.
They are Water Mirror, Woodsaw and Ira
dition.
Entries Remarkably Strong.
Outside Of these stables, the entries in
clude Greeners Oiseau, which has won
many races in the west. ]. e. Madden is
Shot, and Belle Strome of the national sta
bles is classed among the stronger contest
ants. Altogether the entries are regarded
as remarkably strong.
The sky was slightly overcast early in
the day and the air had in 1t q hint of
the crispness of autumn, while the track
was said to be in first-class condition.
The Futurity is one of the richest prizes
of the year for horsemen. In the past the
climax of the Futurity In the matter of
money was In 1890. when Potomac won the
race that year having gross value of
1900
Winners of Former Contests.
The lowest amount of money ever given
to the Futurity winners was $30,G30, when
Chacornac won for James R. Keene. His
trainer, James Rowe, owned Chacornac,
but Mr.. Keene bought the colt just before
the race was won. In 1900 came Ballyho
Bey. in the late w. C. Whitney's colors,
and after that John E. Madden won his
first Futurity with Yankee. Savable and
Hamburg Belle complete the long list, WIN
ming in 1902 and 1903, respectively. The his
tory of the Futurity is one GALAXY of bril-
liant triumph and stupendOus disappont-
ment.
In the sixteen Years between Proctor
Knotts success and the race to be run to
day some very good and some very ordi-
nary contests have been seen, and the gen.
eral belief to day is that todays contest
would be one Of the best.
