well known medical missionary, in
the neck and hand. This is said to be
the first instance where Japanese
soldiers have been known to have been
uncomfortable.
The Japanese were welcomed by the
Chinese, but they abused the good
name which they established in the
Chino-Japanese war. Chinese refu-
gees are still arriving from the battle
field, where native fortune seekers are
securing the field for treasure. Most
of the dead have been buried, but
broken Announcements are scattered all
over the ground. The Japanese oper-
ate the railway frequently with coolie
power. Japanese reinforcements are

demic of disease will break out in
both armies, the torrents of rain that
fell after the 10 days battle at Lao

and hungry troops to sleep without
shelter in mire by the roadsides. In
any case it is believed to be certain
that the hardships endured by the SOL
diers will result in great increase in
sickness.

WALLED CITY OF LlAoyANc.
- Two Miles North and South, TWO
Miles East and West.

The city OF Liaoyang is built four
squire. It is surrounded by walls OF
stone, topped by brick and crenelated
for archery or gun fire. The walls run
north and south and east and west.
There is a main gate in the center OF
each wall-thus there Is a north gate.
a south gate, an east gate and west
gate. The north gate opens out on
the Taitze river. The west gate opens
on the railroad station, and the Rus
sian cavalry barracks close to the sta
ton. From the south gate the old i'm
perial road goes southwark to New
chwang. From the east gate another
imperial road goes eastward to An
ping, and thence to the Yalh and Ko-
rea.
The city measures two and a half
miles north and south, by two miles
east and west, or rather, this is the
extent enclosed by the walls. But the
walled space, five miles square In area,
is far too large for the hundred thou
sand Chinese and Manchu inhabitants
and much Of 1t is laid out in market
gardens.
The city itself resembles all Chinese
walled cities, except that its streets
have, for the last five or six years,
been kept somewhat cleaner and light
ed at night, by order of the Russians.
There is only one slight elevation in.
side the walls, on which stands the
imperial treasury. The Buddhist tenn.
pie to Kwan Yin, the goddess of mer-
cy, is the finest object INTELLECTUALLY
while the mission stations are the
most interesting to westerners. These
had some 1900 converts five years ago
but as Liaoyang was the center of the
Boxer movement in Manchuria many
were terrorized into relinquishing the
new faith. The missionaries relate
with pride how one of their number
DR.. Westwater, prevented the Rus
slams from storming the Boxer upris
4 ing by armed force Eiaoyang used to
be the capital Of southern Manchuria
and is still important, its chief indus
try being the distillinng af native
liquor from the hemp and millet Of
the surrounding fields.

Trade Report.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
Holiday influence is calculated to
check distribution of merchandise, but
the past week has brought more en-
couraging results in the business
world and from many points come re-
ports of steadily expanding trade,
while it is not exceptional to find COM
parsons with the corresponding week
last year favorable to 1904. Retail
trade in fall lines of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery and nearly all wearing
apparel shows healthy growth and
for hardware, household utensils and
kindred lines there is broader de-
mand.
Crop progress is better than aver
age and high prices promise large
profits to the farmers.
Failures numbered 200 in the Unit
ed States.

JAP wARsHIPs FARE BADLY.
Drydocks Full Of Craft Hit by Shells
of Russians.

Captain Ryan of the Canadian per-
manent forces has arrived in Seattle
from Japan, en- route to his home at
Ottawa, after spending some months
in Toxic as the representative of the
Canadian militia. He was detained in
Toxic with other foreign attaches and
correspondents. He says the Japanese
feet has suffered severely in the en-
counters with the Russian war vessels,
and that all the drydocks and repair
ing harbors in Japan are full of jap
anese war vessels in various stages of
repairs. One big cruiser, which was in
the great naval battle OF Port Arthur,
had all her tunnels shot away and rs
holes in her hull.
Captain Ryan reports that the jap
anese themselves admitted gross blum
dering In allowing loaded transports
to leave Japan for Korea and other
points without proper escort, and that
the raids of the Vladivostock feet fiji
ed all Japan with intense alarm.
The report circulated by the Japan
ese war officers that the unexpected
stubbornness of the Russians in the
recent fighting is due to the improve
ment in rifle shooting and steadiness
in the troops, Captain Ryan says, is
false, as the Japanese are well aware
of the fact that they are now confront
ed with regiments straight from Eu-
rope, and not undisciplined. raw levies
of Siberian peasants hastily hurried to
the seat of war. He speaks bitterly
of the treatment accorded the attaches
and correspondents.

RUSSIAN BALnCFIE[T SAILS

serve Troops Of Russia.

Cronstadt, Sept 13.-The vessels of
the Baltic fleet, which have sailed for
the far east contained nine battleships
and four cruisers and several torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The
fleet will merely touch at Libau, where
it will be joined by IL transports, col
Tiers and supply ships, already waiting
there, and will then proceed direct to
the orient.
The scene of the departure Of the
feet was an imposing one. At dawn
the first anchor was hoisted on the
cruiser Aurora, which, accompanied by
two torpedo boats, slipped out of the
harbor. The town was awakened by
the booming of the guns of the forts
as the Aurora sped toward Libau in
advance of the main squadron.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the
time for the departure of the remain
der of the feet, the imperial yacht,
/. with the emperor, the Grand Duke
Alexis, the high admiral, and other
high naval officers on board, put out
from Peterhof, on the other side of
the bay, with an escort of three torpedo
boats.
Admiral Rojestvensky, Voelkersam
and Enquist went on board the i'm
perial yacht and personally said fare
well to the emperor.
Then, with destroyers ahead and
abeam, the Souvaroff led the squadron
down the Finnish gulf The water front
and piers and forts were crowded with
spectators. The ensigns on the yachts
were dipped and the guns from each
chain of forts across the bay joined
in an admiral's salute, while from the
masts above the forts futtered string
of signal flags, reading, Good luck to
the Baltic feet on its long voyage"
The departure of the Baltic fleet for
the east is officially announced. Ad-
miral Birilieff, commander of the naval
forces at Cronstadt, will accompany
the fleet as far as Libau, from which
port this modern armada of almost 40
penants will sail Immediately for the
orient
The admiral does not state how
long Admiral Rojestvensky will stop at
Libau, but it is understood that it will
only be few days.
The emperor has called to arms the
reserve troops in % circuits of the
governments of Kherzon, Bessarabia,
Ekaterinoslav and Taurida, belonging
to the military district of Odessa, and
also one category of reserve officers
throughout the empire.

Chefoo, Sept. 12.--According to the

Arthur the Russians, on September 4,
shelled the Japanese covered trenches
in front of Palichuang and destroyed
them. Everything was quiet along the
line during the night of August 80, but
in the morning it was seen that the

One incident of the recent lombard

to the hospital by Japanese shell.
The Japanese fire was drawn to the
hospital by the placing near it by the
Russians of beacon signals.

killed many of the Japanese soldiers
and the remainder retired. This en-

trench until dawn. The trench evi-
denIly was unimportant, for the Jap
anese troops captured some outpost
trenches on a high hill which is not
far from Corner mountain, but the ap-
proach later Of Russian detachment
caused them to evacuate this position
without fighting.
