Victory at Lao Yang Means Great
Deal.

Toxic. Sept. Ill a. M.-The united
ManChurian armies of Japan have en-
gagged in a desperate attack upon Lao
Yang, where Gen. Kuropatkin has
concentrated every available Russian
soldier. Victory was in the balance
and the battle was draw when the
weary soldiers bivouacked. late
Wednesday night. The Japanese are
attacking from the south and from the
east. The right wing of the column
attacking from the south keeps in
touch with the left wing of the column
in the east. Following the preliminary
success of the 22d. south of Lao Yang
Field Marshal Marquis Oyama. the
commander of the Japanese forces in
the field, promptly marshaled the unit
ed forces and at dawn of Aug. 80 n
desperate attack upon all the Russian
positions was made. The Japanese
found the Russians holding a long
chain of splendidly fortified positions
with a tremendous force of artillery
The Japanese artillery opened the way
but these preliminary attacks generally
failed to give an opportunity for an
open assault.
Victory at Lao Yang means the
DOMINATION of Manchuria and possibly
the end of the autumn campaign.
The japanese first army after occu-
plying the right bank of the Ian river
on Aug. -. continued its forward
movement and renewed the assault
against the remaining Russian posi-
ions at Hungshaling. where the en-
envy heid out the longest and the most

an eminence north of Sanchiassa,

count the trial would proceed. District
Attorney Beach opposed the motion on
the ground that the government was
not required to do so. Judge Pritchard
said he would not rule on this point un-
til after the evidence was in. The gov
ernment scored a point when Judge
Pritchard allowed the postoffice inspec-
tors who are to go on the stand to re-
main in the room, all the other wit
nesses having been excluded.
District Attroney Beach opened for
the government and recited the several
counts in the indictment, specifically de-
fining what is meant by conspiracy, and
saying that the defendants had been
brought into court on a charge of dis
honesty. He said he would prove the
payment to Machen by the Groffs of 40
per cent of the price of the fasteners a
part of which went to the Lorenz as
intermediates. Counsel for defendants
waived an opening statement whereupon
an adjournment was taken to permit
the district attorney and counsel for

among those in attendance was former

CHICAGO IN DARKNESS.
Blackness of Midnight EnvelOps
the City in Broad Day.

Chicago. Jan. 12.-Hundreds of pas
sengers on incoming trains here today
were startled by sudden plunge into
midnight darkness. The transition from
broad daylight seemed immediate AMI
complete as if the rush was into a tun-
mel under a mountain. The blackness
extended in a circle from the center
of the city, the radius being a distance
an hour. Unusual atmospheric condi-
tions aggravated by smoke were gen.
orally accepted as the cause.
The phenomenon was accompanied by
a fall of snow, while a pail of impene-
trable cloud enveloped the thorough
fares and buildings. Street car and
wagon traffic was considerably hamper
ed. Even greater difficulty was en-
countered by the throngs of pedestrians
who struggled as best they could along
the slippery walks, in the absence of
street lamps.
