A chemist in Odessa has just finish
ed some interesting experiments with
petroleum secured in the Caucasian
mountains. He began his experiments
with the idea of finding out the best
method of purifying it for use in the
automobile industry and in the opera
tions he says. he discovered very re-
spectacle quantity of radium, far easier
of extraction, naturally, than when it
is in combination with metals. The
chemist says that he believes this will
prove to be the secret of reducing the
cost of the precious element to COM

front the right flank
According to his dispatch the Japan
csc attack IS developing from the south
east with Hai-Cheng as an objective
ami from the northeast. toward Lao
Yang. Kuroh probably commands this
latter force.
Trap Apprehended.
For some days past 1t has been feared
in St. Petersburg that Kuropatkin would
be caught in just such a trap as ne has .
Oku has been advancing from the south
and NOdZu from the east. while Kuroki
has been slowly marching forward from
the northeast beyond Liao-Yang.
Military men have advised a general
retreat 10 the north by the Russian
forces, but the political forces, on the
advice Of Viceroy AleXieff. have opposed
this and advocated meeting the Jap
anese at Hai-Cheng. The fallacy Of this
latter opinion is now apparent although
IL is possible that Kuropatkin Will be
able to extrlcate himself from a posi-
ton which Is anything but an advan-
tageous one.
Japs in Numbers.
According TO his own report the Jap
anese opposing him at Hai-Cheng are
greatly superior in strength, making the
fight on the front a fierce one. In addi-
tion TO this, Kuropatkin's right flank is
endangered by the Taku-Shan army un-
der Nodzu. and his communication 10
the north is endangered by the force
under KurCki.
Nor are these the only dangerous
points OF the situation Several dis
patches have been received in St. Pc
tersburg from Yin-KOw, the port OF Niu-
chwang. this morning stating that large
forces OF japanese are landing there
under the protection OF warships
Should the fight at Hai-Cheng be long
drawn out. there Is a decided possioil-
ity that these forces being put ashore
al Yin-Kow Will march to the eastward
and attack KurOpatkin's force from th-t
side. Should this occur, the RuS-;E
would find themselves assailed On a-I

LONDON. Aug. What will. in all
probability. prove the greatest battle
of the Russo-Japanese war Is on be-
tween the Russians under Kuropatkin
and the combined forces OF Kuroki. Oku
and Nodzu, near Hai-Cheng.
An official report has been received in
St. Petersburg from Kuropatkin. giving
the account Of the beginning OF the bat
tie, but nothing has as yet been received
as TO the way the fight is going. Kuro-
patkin's report is as follows:
"On July 81 three japanese armies
simultaneously renewed their advance on
our southern front. The Russian rear
guard offered a stubborn resistance un-
I'll the attacks OF the enemy revealed
that they were of greatly superior
strength. The rear guard then slowly
retired in the direction of Hai-Cheng.
Advance Checked.
The Russian division near Che-mu-
Cheng successfully checked the advance
Of the enemy, which pressed toward our
right flank.
The japanese main blow was 6eliy-
cred by the Taku-Shan army. Oku com
manding, between Che-mu-Cheng and
Hai-Cheng. operating from various vii
lagos west OF Che-mu-Cheng on our
eastern front.
The advance OF the Japanese began
against our main position. At that mo-
ment their chief force was disclosed op
posite our right flank and around II In
the direction of Sematse and Lao Yang.
The japanese are also advancing against
our troops east of Hakiatse."
Count Keller Killed.
It IS reported on the best authority
that word has also been received of the
death Of Count Keller, the foremost
Of the Russian leaders under Kuropat-
kin He was killed by a bursting shell.
The Japanese movements as indicated
by the dispatch constitute a great en-
veIoping plan. which greatly resembles
that Of the Germans at Sedan.
