ARKANSAS DEMOCRATIC
Jeff Davis Reelected by a Large Ma.
jority Over the Republican
Aepirant.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 7.-T.arly re-
turns from the state election in Ar
KANSAS indicate the reelection of Gov.
Jefferson Davis. the present democratic
incumbent, over Harry Meyers, repub-
lican, by the usual large democratic
majority.
The democrats easily elected their
entire state ticket, and the interest
cent2red In the vote in the large towns,
where the regular democrats were OPP
posed in many instances by independ-
ents. Returns are necessarily slow, as
many voting places are remote from
railroad and telegraph stations.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 6.-Addi-
tional returns from Yesterdays cleo
tons show that Meyers, republican
candidate for governor, has probably
carried Lafayette and Little River
counties by small pluralities.
Davis, democrat, is running behind in
some of the towns and cities. but is
making large gains in the country pre-
cincts.
John H. Page. secretary of the demo-
cratic state central committee, esti-
mates that Gov. Davis plurality will be
$1,000. 4
Chairman II. L. Remmel, of the res
publican state central committee,
claims republican gains in a number of
precincts. and if the same ratio of
increase continues he expresses the be-
lief that Meyers for governor will have
a small plurality.
Specials to the Gazette state that in
Conway and Woodruff counties the ne

HOW STAkELBERG ESCAPED.
First Siberian Army Corps Was Safely
E~xtricated.

st. Petersburg, Sept. General Sta
ielberS's First Siberian army corps,
which was reported yesterday by Cen
eral k~uropatkin as having been cut off
to the westward of Lilac Yang, has
been safely eXtricated.
General Kuropatkin telegraphed at Z
p. m. Saturday evening that the great
er portion of his army was then south
of Ganti, about ten miles northeast
of Lao Yang, and the other portion Of
1t was crossing the Taitse river and
taking up a position on the right bank.
This message, which was received by
the enlpero early Sunday morning,
threw a more hopeful light on the po-
sition of the Russian army, and the au-
thoritieS gave signs of relief. There is
no attempt, however, to conceal the
gravity Of the situation, in view of the
absence of news regarding what is hap
pening today.
1t is not clear from the latest tele-
gram whether the Russians are on
tinuing their retreat, or If they have
been compelled to face their foe. The
gloomy report telegraphed by the Rus
sian commander in chief in the early
stages of the fight of Saturday las and
his bitter reproaches against General
Stakelberg are attributed to his cha
grin over the failure of his offensive
plans.
General Kuropatkin now telegraphs
that his only serious losses are confined
to Major General Orloffs detachment,
which was guarding the left flank at
Yentai. This detachment consisted of
mixed European d~etachments. and was
suddenly attacked by the Japanese in
fantry and artillery concealed in the
tall Chinese corn and grass. The Rus
slams seem to have lost their heads and
to have retreated precipitately. The
Japanese inflicted great slaughter, Cen
eral Orloff's regiments losing 1900 men.
No details are given of the escape Of
General Stakelberg's corps from the
clutches Of the enemy, but it is believed
it owes its safety to the neglect Or in
ability of the japanese to follow up
their advantage.
General S~takelberg was allowed to
cross the river and came up with the
main army in time to enable the shat
tered remnants of Major General Or
lofts detachment to retreat. The ex-
plot is likely to condone General Stalk
elberg's disobedience, but unless the
emperor ~forgiVes him he will have to
appear before a courtnlartial and prob
ably will lose his command.
The war office Is able to make the
~re2ssurinS statement that the Russian
retreat from Lao Yang did not involve
the loss of uns and it also declares
that the abandoned stores at Lao Yang
were set on fire before the Russians
crossed the Taitse river.

kuropatkin's action in throwing the
bulk Of his army across the river to
the right bank in order to protect his
rear and give him an opportunity to
try conclusions single handed with
Kuroki is considered to be a brilliant

Taitsa is regarded as strong enough,
behind its fortified positions. to hold
Oku and NodZu long enough to give
kuropatkin a chance to strike Kuroki
and at the same time to protect the
ten bridges over which Kuropatkin
must recross in order to follow up his
success IN the event that he brushes
Kuroki. In case Of a reverse the bridges
will also furnish ample facilities for
the Russian troops on the Liza Yang
side to rejoin the main army.
Yesterday afternoon Oku assaulted
n of the strong Russian positions on
the Lao Yang side which. it is pre-
stunned. guarded the bridges, but the
Japanese were repulsed with exceed
ingly heavy losses. the Russians behind
their works suffering only slightly.
The Japanese are using siege guns on
the Lia Yang side.
Kuropatkin did not delay. after his
concentration on the right bank Of the
river. Yesterday morning he massed
his artillery and at noon began to
lombard Kuroki's position preliminary
to an infantry attack.
The above was the situation when the
last report in possession of the var
office was sent, What the authorities
at Toxic regard, as a Russian concen-
tration at Yentai. was probably kuro-
patkin's preparations for taking he Of
fensive. Telegraphic and railroad COM
munication between the Russian army
and Mukden We're still open this morn
ing. In military circles Kuronatkin's
tactics are approved and confidence Is
expressed in the issue. The failure of
Toxic to chronicle the voluntary pas
sage Of Kuropatkin's main army across
the river is believed here to indicate
tina the Japanese desire to reap as
much glory as possible if they sue
coed in taking possession of Liza Yang.
Neither Kuropatkin's decision to
make the crossing with his army, nor
the fact hat the bulk of it Is over,
which was exclusively announced by
the Associated Press, was known to
the Russian public till this morning.
The war office declares it is still
without official information in regard
to the result Of Kuropatkin's fight with
kuroki. IF the report of kuropatkin'S
returning turns out to be true, ii is,
considered possible tina it may be due
to the appearance OF another fanking
movement of the Japanese higher up
and from the west. Reports that the
japanese We're moving UP the Lilac
river toward Sinmintin We're persistent
just before the fighting began.
notwithstanding the lack of official
confirmation of Kuropatkin's retreat,
the report has fallen like a cold douche
upon the general staff and the en-
peror who was going to Libau TODAY,
has postponed his trip on account of
the situation at the front.

st. Petersburg, Sept. GA bulletin
just issued that Kuropatkin
has assumed the offensive. massing his
artillery and ~bombarding the Japanese
on Friday at noon, preparatory to an
attack on Kuroki's thanking army on
the north side Of the Taitse river.
Kuropatkin t~elegraphs today that the
Russians advanced against Kuroki yes

same day attacked the Russian right,
but were repulsed.
General Kuropatkin's dispatch fol-
lows:
"At nightfall Thursday the Japanese
attacked our SkyWantun position, Ebut
were repulsed after a hot fight. They
renewed the attack at night, this time
with success. driving back a regiment
in the direction of Sakutun. The re-
treat of this regiment led to the evacu-
alton of the positions held by our other
troops Towards morning our troops
advanced gradually in order to retake
the ~SkyWantun position, and at dawn

vancing to the attack.
During the night the Japanese VIC
lently bombarded the interior Russian
position inside the town of Lao Yang,
the railroad station. and the railroad
itself. Our losses were insignificant.
I have Just received a dispatch from
the chief of the Lao Yang garrison,
timed 1926 a. m, to the effect that the
Japanese attacked the fort situated In
the center of our position, but they
were repulsed with very great loss. We
had six men killed in the fort"
A new phase Of the battle Of Lao
Yang is now begun. The main opera
tons have been transferred to the
north bank of the Taitse river, wher
Kuropatkin has assumed the offensive,
hurting the bulk of his army against
Oyama's right under Kuroki, and at
the same time holding the japanese
center and left. on the other side of
the river, in check with the force left
on the south bank for hat purpose.

The Japanese armies continued to
press the Russians yesterday. They
moved forward and occupied a line ex-
tending from Taitepjif to Yanchial-
intzu. Marquis Oyarna telegraphs that
he hopes they will reach the right bank
of the Taitse this morning.
General Kuroki, after serious fight
ing, succeeded yesterday in taking a
portion of an eminence near Heiying-
tai. The Russians again appear to be
concentrating in the vicinity Of the
Yentai coal mines, twelve miles north
east or Lao Yang. Possibly another
great battle will occur there. The pres
ent trend Of movements indicates that
possibly the Japanese will move past
Lao Yang temporarily, leaving the
city untouched.

have no material effect on the Situa-
ton at the stock yards strike, accord
ing to President Donnelly of the butch

before 5000 strikers n their friends,
MIR. Donnelly declared that despite the
assertion Of the New York members Of
the Mo he would make no change in
his plans to tie up the meat industry
of the country his week.
The action of the New York strikers,
who are said to have voted to desert

tirely unlocked for. Their grievances
were not as great as ours. as they quit
work merely in sympathy with the
strike Of the western butchers union.
Before next Saturday night L expect
there will be 0.00o more workmen in
volved in the struggle, g.: the product
OF the New York plants will not break
the tieup planned for this week. 1t has
been predicted by many that the strike
would he called off before today, but
NC are still in the struggle M Will re-
main. 1t would not be fair to you If
l called the strike off. You empowered
me to start it. and you will have to in
Struct me by a general vote to end 1t.
Let no one be discouraged If the fight
seems to drag along. we will be all the
stronger, and will secure a better SEN
timent if we stay out for seven or
eight weeks longer"
G. S. Schmidt, vice president OF the
Meat Cutters union in California, also
addressed the strikers. He, like Mr..
Donneily, declared victory would follow

Mukden. Sept. 2.-[Delayed.)-After
six days Of battle, on the last three
of which the heaviest fighting occurred,
the Japanese on Wednesday abandoned
their direct attack on Lao Yang in
favor Of a flank movement.
The Russian artillery on Friday was
greatly aided by sending up balloons
southeast of Lao Yang, thus locating
the Japanese batteries. The Russians
were compelled to abandon a numbe
of guns.
On Wednesday the Japanese shells
reached the railroad station n the
railroad bridge over the Taitse river.
Others fell as far north as Yentai. The
railroad is being used almost exclu-
sively by the hospital trains and for
the transportation of Japanese pris-
oners. The latter are in a dreadful
state of exhaustion. Many of them
have been without food for two days.
