TOXIC REJOICES.

the Streets.


the Streets.
Toxic. Sept. 3.-Tokio rings with
shouts and cheers for the victory at
Lao Yang. Lantern bearing crowds
swing through the streets and surge
around the staff offices, shouting Ban
zai.'
The details of yesterdays fighting are
scanty. 1t is only known that at dawn
General Oku's army was hurled against
the Russian right center on the south
ern line, and that the Russians were
forced to abandon their line and posi-
lions and retreat.
Pursuit is now in progress The re-
suit of this pursuit and the result of
the fierce battle waged on the eastern
line, where General Kuroki is assailing
the force which has long screened Lao
Yang, together with the abandonment
of the Russian right center or the
southern line, exposes the Russian left
But here the Russian force is so heavy
that it may possibly be able to protect
and eXtricate itself.
The question of the occupation of
Lao Yang by Japanese is in doubt. The
official dispatches do not make men,
ton of such occupation. But it is as
sumed that the Russians are with
drawing their forces through Lao
Yang and that the Japanese possibly
occupied it late yesterday.
Last night no estimates were obtain
able of the losses on either side.
Field Marshal Oyama describes his
losses in the morning assault as heavy.
The success of the attack was uneX-
pected on account of the strength of
the Russians and the nature of the
Russian defense.
1t is confidently believed that Field
Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit
with vigor and inflict on Kuropatkin
the most crushing blow possible. 1t is
believed his trophies will prove valu-
able. 1t is the opinion here that the
Russians We're not able to carry many
guns with them, and they were forced
to abandon or destroy vast quantities
of stores.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 3.-The news of
the evacuation Of Lao Yang and the
withdrawal of the Russian army to
the right bank of the Taitse river
reached only Il small section of the
people of st. Petersburg at a late hour
and caused intense excitement and dis
appointment.
The majority of the Inhabitants re-
tired to rest, believing that Russian
arms had. again been successful. and
that the Japanese attacks had been re-
PEELED. Ugly suspicious, however, had
been rife during the day, owing to the
absence of press kilograms from Lao

communications had been cut by. Cen

The following statement was OBJ

the war office at 10 o'clock Thursday
night:
General Kuroki's army crossed in

force to the right bank of the Taitse
river, and it therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be il a posi-
ton to repel a blow in this dire ction.
IN view of this development in the
operations, General Kuropatkin decided
to abandon his positions on the left
bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side of the river.
This position is the strongest, both in
character and in significance. The
great issue will be finally decided
there"

WALSH is CARED FOR.
Joo in the Interest of
Harmony.

New York, Sept. 1.-The New York Sun
says: August Belmont added another
achievement to his long list of happy eff
forts yesterday when at democratic ma
tional headquarters he gave Charles A.
Walsh, for eight years secretary of the
democratic national committee, good
place with fat salary.
Mr.. Bryan has not yet made his visit
to Rosemount nor has Mr. Hearst called
on Judge Parker. While Mr.. Hearst sent
a congratulatory dispatch to Judge Par
ker, it is not known If Mr.. Bryan has
performed a similar act of political cour-
tesy. Anyway the Bryanites and the
Hearstites have not tumbled over one an
other in democratic national headquarters
and Mr.. Belmont thought it was time that
something should be done to bring about
harmony. He hit upon the happy idea of
giving Mr.. Walsh this place al headquar-
ters and when Mr.. Belmont left headquar-
tiers last night he was convinced that now
the Bryan forces and the Hearst forces
have no just complaint.

Spearfish. S. D., Sept. S.--Eastern
South Dakota people do not realize the
valuation of farming land where it is

from 500 to 5000 an acre. It is be-
lieved by the projectors Of the Belle

that Is now valued at $40 an acre will

AT PORT ARTHUR.
Terrific Fighting Continues, But With
Little Change of the Situation.

Chefoo, Sept. 3.-Severe fighting oc-
CURED at Port Arthur August 81, when
the japanese, moving from Shuishiy-
ing, attempted to capture Palungshan,
which is south of Shuishiying and west
of the railway. The Japanese made
two assaults between 4 and s in the
morning. They were repuiSed both
times. The prisoners subsequently TAX
en- place their loss ut / ,045 killed and
wounded. For one hour afterward
shells were thrown from Shuishiying
into Port Arthur.
The above information was brought
here last night by Il Chinese who was
employed at the police station at Port
Arthur, which place he left the evening
of the 29th AT the time of his de-
parture no further attack had been
made by the Japanese on Palungshan
On the 2Sth the Japanese attacked
fort No. 6. on the northeast portion of
the right flank. After three hours of
fierce firing the Japanese succeeded in
entering the fort. but later several
Russian forts concentrated their fire on

600 men. without any deductions for
killed, wounded or sick. The military
critic of the Berlin GreuZ Zeitung,
commenting on this, says the effective
strength must be much less, and, judg-
ing from former experience, perhaps
so per cent. The writer assumes that
the Japanese losses have been fully
compensated for by fresh arrivals from
Japan, and forecasts the Russian pros
poets in the present battle in a pess-
mistic tone, showing that defeat must
lead to a great disaster Retreat is
practically impossible upon the single
highway leading to Mukden. But, he
adds, even the decision to retreat no
longer depends upon General Kuropat-
kin alone.
