County Man until the Crack of Doom"

MrppLErowN, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Senator
Thomas C. Platt, who has recently purchased
an estate at Highland Mills. N. Y, denies
the rumor in public letter that he will
change his voting residence from Tioga to
Orange county. He says:
The fact that have purchased such a
summer home has no more significance as it
concerns my voting residence than have my
periodical sojourns at the Oriental Hotel
during the summers and the Arlington
Hotel in Washington during the session
Of Congress. You may feel at liberty to
deny all assertions to the contrary. Until
the crack Of doom am Tioga county man.

l plished this had the quality of his of ficers and soldiers equalled that of the Japanese.
 Not until the night of September 8, after five days of continuous battle. did the Russians take the first steps of a retreat. With an almost unforda- ble and wide river at his back and strong force of Japanese opposing him in the rear and on the flank, Gen eral Kuropatkin was able to withdraw his army without losing a single gun.
 One result of this battle has been to give the Japanese a much higher o0in- ion of the abilities of their antagonists than the exhibitions at Yalu river and elsewhere compelled them to entertain. Today the Japanese army is self-pos- sessed and it has indulged in no dem onstrations of rejoicing.
 The work done by the Russians in preparing the neighborhood of Liao Yang to be the theatre of battle is of incredible magnitude. In addition to extensive Notifications on the south side of the Taitse there were practi- cally three lines of defenses for the protection of the eastern approaches of railroad, which in themselves consti- tuted a formidable battle area. The fighting was carried up to the railroad line but notwithstanding the fact that the Japanese shelIe1 the last trains which left Liao Yang on the way to Mukden, it was impossible for them to intercept any of the Russian rear guard.
 The area north of the river. which was fought over by the contending ar mics, presents a terrible picture of the results of war. The fields are dug with hundreds of lines of trenches mark ing successive stages of retreat and ctematory fires are yet burning where searching parties are bringing in Jap anese bodies. The graves of Russian soldiers can be seen at every turn. some dug by comrades and others by Japanese. On the hillside is a group of 2OO CT 900 graves marked by rough sticks. Many bodies remained undis- covered in the high grain and the odor of decomposition fills the air.
 FIOcks of crows hover about and hun dreds of Chinese dogs roam the fields. The Chinese have hung Japanese flags over their houses. Most of the Chi nese shops and all Of the Russian build ings were thoroughly footed on the de- parture of the army. Both Russians and Chinese participated in the loot ing.

Liao Yang, Sept s, via lien Tsin. Sept 12.-The footing of Liao Yang has few parallels in the annals of warfare. Three armies in three different days had possession of the city engaging m acts of depreciation.
 When the Russians entered into oc- equation of Liao Yang they built d model Russian city outside the eId walled Chinese city and thousands of troops were lodged within its gates. When the Japanese drove the Rus sians out of Shansampo hills the Rus sian soldiers realized that the town must fall and forgot all discipline. They footed the town, sparing neither Chinese nor European shops. destroy ing what they could not carry away.
 When the Japanese came they com pleted the footing. They had been fighting for five days without food ex- cept dry rice, and broke loose upon en- tering the town. The Japanese loot ed right and left. This was the first time in this war that the Japanese were guilty of footing a captured city and their officers were much disturbed at the outbreak

 fire.
 On the night of September ? a Jap anese column, after repulsing a Rus sian attack, occupied a line from q point in the vicinity of the Yentli mines to the ridges west Cf Tayao. On the afternoon of the third. the Russians were again engaged. The enemy had received strong endorsements and had sixty guns.

 One Russian correspondent points out that when the aJpauese withdrew from the Russian front it was usually the precursor Of their appearance in Hanks, and he thinks the indications point to a winter campaign.
