DETAILS OF FIGHTING
During the First Three Days of Sep
tember at Lao Yang.

Yentia, Sunday, Sept. 4.-(Delayed
in transmission.)-T Russians evac-
uated their positions around Lao Yang
during the night of September 8,
crossing the Taitse river and burning
the bridges behind them. In the
meantime a strong force was holding
General Kuroki back from Yentai.
During the combined attack on Lao
Yang, which commenced August 80,
by General Oku attacking from the
southeast and General Nodzu from the
southwest, the shell fire was terrific,
in one instance fifty shells bursting at
the same time.
The Japanese made a fine infantry
attack. They succeeded in reaching
the Russian trenches but were re-
pulsed with heavy loss. The japanese
Shrapnel as a rule burst too high. On
the whole the day went all with the
Russians. The Japanese were driven
from the villages along the railroad.
On August 81, the shelling commenced
at daylight from all sides, but the Rus
sian infantry pressed forward. Late
that afternoon the news came that
Kuroki was threatening the railroad at
Yentai and the Russians commenced
to retire, enabling the Japanese to
bring up wo batteries and enhlade the
Russian force along the railroad
During the night the transport moved in
to Lao Yang. On September the RuS-
slams retreated from thelr man p4slul9in1s' IONS
which formed circle around the city,
while the transport crossed the river. AT
2 O'Clock the japanese succeeded IN plac-

ualties At the same time the Japanese
infantry attacked the inner Russian po-
sition, but were repulsed. In the evening
the japanese brought up heavy guns and
used Shimose powder to shell the Russian
town The Russians held the position till
the night of September 8, when they re-
tired across the river.
on September 2 a strong Russian force
was moved east from Yentai to hold
Kurok back Kuroki attacked it and was
being driven from his positions
on the left. The Japanese poured a terri
fic shrapnel fire, one shell annihilated two
Russian companies In the evening the
Russian artillery, which had been REIN
forced, shelled the japanese position and
within 70 miles of the railroad at Yentai.
Later he was driven back to his original
position.

Nevertheless the Lao Yang fOrtif1ca-
tions were finally evacuated and the
remainder of reserve supplies destroyed
by fire.
During the three days bombardment
the railway station and suburbs of the
Chinese town suffered the most. The
latter was abandoned by its inhabit-
ants after the town was ablaze in many
places.
To the east, in the neighborhood of
Yentai station and the coal mines there
was hot fighting on Friday and Satur-
day. Both sides according to latest in
formation were quiet.
On Saturday trains from Mukden went
south as far as Yentai.

RAN OFF THE TRACK.
Santa Fe Engine Makes Sensation al
St. Louis Exposition.

st. Louis, Mo-. Sept. 5.-The mann
moth 134-ton Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe freight engine which the Penn
sylvania railroad was running into the
Palace of Transportation to be tested
on its big testing plant. ran off the
track as it was being switched on the
sharp curve leading into the building,
and now the Pennsylvania engineers
are spending their time getting the en-
gine back on the track.
Two powerful engines will be used
for this purpose. One of the engines
will be hitched in front and the other
on the adjoining track The first will
pull the locomotive forward. while
the second will pull it over on the
track from which it ran off.
This is the fifth of the engines Sc
cured by the Pennsylvania railroad for
testing in its plant. 1t is the only
practical testing plant in the world,
and will be put to permanent use by
the Pennsylva company after the
worlds fair. During the worlds fair
nine locomotives will be tested at this
plant, all of them of different makes
and several of them of foreign manu-
facture. By this experimenting the
Pennsylvania company hopes to de-
termine the very highest type of en-
gine for every kind of railroad use.
Some of the engines to be tested are
of the fast passenger types and thPy
will be run for stretches of eight or
ten hours at the rate of sixty miles an
hour.
The Santa Fe engine which is now
off the track is a much more powerful
one than any yet tested. It is the sec
ond largest type of locomotive ever
built

ARE undoubtedly arriving at Yentai
from the north. Our main hope lies in
the possible exhaustion of the Japanese
after the bloody and unprecedentedly
long and severe fighting which practi-
cally continued day and might from
August "a to September 3.''
The emperor has undergone a great
strain during the past week. His main
fear during the last few days has been
that Kuropatkin would be cut off. Like
his subjects. the emperor has taken
KurOpatkins defeat greatly to heart,
but the preservation of the army organ
ization has been a great relief and his
answer to the battle of Lao Yang will
be the mobilization of two more army
corps. So far as can be learned the en-
peror shows no disposition to blame
Kuropatkin.
All classes of the population are
awaiting with intense eagerness the re-
ceipt of details of the battle and esti-
mates and particulars of the losses.
boards. The wives and families Of
spend most of their time in the
churches, praying that their loved ones
may be spared.
The accounts of the battle published
in the newspapers here are very in
complete Some of the papers evident
ly have not yet awakened to the full
force of the disaster, but without ex-
ceptfOn they try to put a brave face on
the situation. There is not the slight
est suggestion of yielding. The cry of
the papers is that the war must go on
until Russia is victorious, if not this
year, then next year.

Packers and Butchers Have
Reached an Agreement.
End OF the Struggle Is Expected
This Week.
MUST BE VOTED UPON.
Strikers to Be Taken Back as
Fast as Possible.
Skilled Men to Receive Same
Wages az Before.

Chicago. Sept. 5.-The Tribune today
says:
AS the result of a conference just
held between representatives of the
union involved in the packing house
strike and of the owners of the plants,
the end of the long labor struggle is
set for the middle of this week.
An understanding was arrived at by
which the men will meet today or to-
morrow and vote on the question of
calling off the strike. According to the
plans made they will be instructed to
cast their ballots in the affirmative.
These plans were made with secrecy
and care. They originated a week ago
in Chicago with certain of the packers
and of the conservative labor leaders.
The ending of the strike in the eastern
city by the vote of the men on Satur-
day was the first step.
The following are the chief points of
the arrangements:
The unions to call off the strike.
The packers to re-employ as many of
the strikers as they can give work to
and to give the preference to the for
mer employees in the future as many of
the new workers as wish to remain are
to be retained.
Wages of the skilled men to remain
at the rate paid before the strike.
The packers who have often declared
they would not meet the labor men will
undoubtedly deny today that confer
ence has been held.
yards strike in Chicago came last night
when so striking livestock handlers
were reinStated and at once resumed
their former duties.

of the contest but Mccoy said before
leaving San Francisco that he would
ask for a later date. as he wished to
prolong his training as much as pos

he wants to work into shape gradually.

following table:

The equalized valuation of the lands in
1904 was $1.35 per acre in Comanche couu-
ty- In Clark county on the west ii was

north it was $1.75 per acre. In Pratt coup-
ty on the northwest it was s. 6S per acre.
In Barber county on the east it was SLIGO

the board of equalization had nothing
whatever to do with fixing the amount of
the eQualizat tion.
The heavy reduction of the assessments
as returned by the county clerk from 1888
and onward was part of a contest in

the old bonds, in which they were de-
feated. ana a judgment rendered for the
interest in the federal courts, which has
now been paid. The original issue in 1890

KELLY GETS A JOLT.
He Loses His Contest for Recognition
in Miami County.

Thomas T. Kelly has received an
other hard jolt in Miami county. The
county contest board, contrary to the
expectations of the Kelly crowd, ha@
unanimously decided that Kelly S
rump county committee. which aided
Kelly in stealing the Miami county
delegation to the Republican state
convention last spring and which also
fixed up a rump delegation to the Sec
ond district convention for BOwerSock
the contest board has decided that
this Kelly committee has no legal
standing. and the anu-Kelly Repub-
hcan ticket will be placed on the Of
fetal ballot
The regular Republican committee,
of which Geo. L. Robinson is chair
man, called primaries for August l 8
to nominate county ticket Kelly s
rump committee called primaries at
first early in August. but afterwards
postponed them till September 8. The
ticket nominated at the regular pri-
maries was duly filed and then pro-
tested by the Kellyites.
B. F. Simpson, who has been Kelly's
attorney through all his troubles, was
the attorney for the Kelly crowd. His
whole argument was that the delega-
tions which were seated in the state
and congressional conventions were
those elected under the supervision of
the Kelly committee, and the Kelly
committee was therefore, the legal Re-
publican county committee. The anti
Kelly crowd showed that the Kelly
committee had simply been trumped
up by Kelly because he could not con-
troll the regular committee.
The contest board, which is COM
posed entirely of fusionists. decided
unanimously against the Kelly crowd.
This knocks T. T. Kelly completely
out of any semblance of control in
Miami county, and he is thoroughly
repudiated by the Republicans of that
county.

IA DIE BY FIRE.
Lamp Explosion Starts Blaze
in a n. I. Tenement.

New York, Sept. 5.-Fourteen per-
sons were killed and nearly a score in
jured in a fire in a five-story double
tenement in Attorney street at an early
hour this morning. 1t was one of the
worst fires in the loss of human life
that has occurred on the East side in
several years, although the property
loss was slight.
The dead include four women, one
man and nine children, ranging in
age from months to IL years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals and it is thought that sew
eral of these will die. Among the
injured were five firemen who were
on a fourth floor balcony when it fell
with them.
The small number of men among
the killed and injured was due to the
fact that most of the men who lived
in the building, following the Attor-
asleep on the roof. while but few of
the women and children were there.
Those on the roof were unable to es-
cape by descending through the burn
ing building and made their way to
safety over neighboring roofs. Mean
while the members of their families
who had remained in their rooms
found escape cut off and panic reigned
throughout the structure.
The fire started about o'clock in
the morning and there was consider
able delay in sending in anAalarm, al
though the district is one of the most
thickly populated in the crowded East
side of New York. When the firemen
reached the scene some of the ten
ants were jumping from the windows
and from the ends of fire escapes that
reached only to the second floors, and
others were crouching in the smoke in
the small rooms and narrow halls.
The fire is supposed to have been
causel by the explCSpon of a lamp that
had been left to light the hall on the
second floor, and the sleeping tenants
were not aroused until the hallway was
ablaze and escape through the build
ing cut off. The fire was soon extin-
guished and the search for the dead
began.
Most of the dead were found on the
two upper floors.
While the search of the building
was going on four firemen were at
work on a fourth story balcony, when
it gave way Another fireman on the
balcony on the floor below was also
carried down and was probably fatally
injured. The other four were badly
hurt but will recover. Two of them
fell upon a pile of bedding in the
and their injuries were
chiefly by the ironwork of the
falling upon them.
