RUSSIAN TRIES HIS
HAND AT FINE WRITING

LIAU-YANG, Aug. 30.-A Russian cor
respondent supplies the following:
1.-The historical moment has arrived and
the battle of Liau-yang is in progress. 1t
was not O'Clock this morning when the
first gun was fired but soon afterward
hundreds of cannon were laundering
along the southern and eastern fronts.
The center of our position is located
near the famous tower of Liau-yang.
about seven miles to the southeast The
fighting there was of the most desperate
character but is now going on nearer at
the fianks. The kissing of shells is dis
tinctly audible and from the city it is
easy to see the shells bursting.
Heavy guns were brought into action
by both sides today and their dull roar
was discernible above the sharper de-
donations of field and mountain guns.
The Russians are using big ordnance
which is in position in the inner ring or
the Liau-yang forts
1.-The noisy Chinese popula ton has sud-
denly become quiet. The main street of
Liau-yang, always the scene of the bust
est traffic and usually resounding with
thousands of shrill voices from sunrise
to sunset is now as silent as if it were
night. The inhabitants are watching the
distant battle from the housetops and
watch towers Or are wandering gloonily
In the streets. We are asking ourselves
If the tide of battle is going to swamp
the city, what is to become of the houses
and other property

crusade carried on by the Allegheny
County Sabbath Observance associa-
ton for the past three weeks to en-
force the blue laws of 1894 resulted in
riot and murder in Allegheny tonight.
The man Killed was Harry D. Knox
driver of an ice wagon. The enforce
ment of the old laws, which prohibit
the sale on Sunday of ice, soda water,
candy. cigars and every other article
of merchandise called a luxury, has
aroused intense feeling throughout the
county. and many threats have been
made against the prosecutors.
Tonight the chief detective for the
association, H. T.. Gamble, and two of
his force, Nelson C. and Harry w.
Starkey, were on trial for perjury, the
charge being that they had secured
the conviction of a storekeeper, who
proved that his store had not been
opened for business on Sunday.
When the hearing was concluded the
mob made a rush for the detectives.
Gamble was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious, while the other de-
tectives were roughly handled. Some
time later the detectives left the office
under escort of constables and the
crowd renewed hostilities. Nelson
Starkey fired into the crowd twice, the
first shot wounding one man in the
hand and the second bullet entering
the abdomen of Knox.

battlefield, covering the hills with mist
and preventing accurate use of the
guns.
During the night oslthe 26th the Jap

Russian positions at Hungshaling and
Tahsikou. They finally succeeded,
position at Hungshaling, where they
captured eight guns which had pre-
viously wrought havoc in their lines.
On the morning of the 9th, through
mists and haze all three of the Jap
anese columns moved forward. The
Russians resisted this advance vigor-
ously, and it was nightfall before the
Japanese were in possession of the
long ridge. The fiereest engagements
of Aug. 26 occurred at Hungshaling and
Kungchanglin. The moonlight re-
vealed the Japanese troops as they adj
vanced. The Russian defenders of
these positions beside opening fierce
rifle fire on the enemy, rolled boufders
down the hillside upon the climbing
Japanese soldiers. The Japanese re-
served their fire and climbed steadily
upward, finally reaching the summit
and driving the Russians out The
Russian forces included the Second
army corps, the rifle regiments at

the Seventeenth corps. They num-
bered in all sixty-five battalions and 120
guns The main force retreated to-
ward Yoau-yang. The Japanese casu-
alties in this fighting numbered 1000.
No estimate is given of the Russian
casualties, but they are believed to
have been heavy.
The Japanese army which operated
against Anshanshans advanced along
the Hal -tcheng- -Liau-yang road, clear
ing away small forces of Russians. On
the morning of Aug. 27 the japanese
line extended from Shangshihohiatsz
to the west of Sumati and prepared to
attack the Russian line, which extend
ed from Anshanshan to Tengaopo.
The Russians abandoned their posi-
tions here without offering resistance.
The Japanese pursued the enemy and
overlook him east of the road in the
neighborhood of Tiaochuntaic and Pa

o'clock in the morning of the 28th.
The Russians retreated in confusion
toward North Shaho. The column Of
Japanese infantry and artillery which
pursued the Russians on the west side
of the Haitcheng -Liauyang road over
took the main body of the enemy as it
was retiring to the northwest and
drove it also toward North Shaho. In
these engagements the japanese cap
tured eight guns and number of am

FIGHTING OF THREE
DAYS is REVIEWED

TOKYO,E Aug. 30.-Details of the op-
erations against Liau-yang, from Aug.
25 to %, which include an account of
the desperate three-day battle in the
neighborhood Of Anping and the aban
donment Of Anshanshan, reached
Tokyo today
The first japanese army was divided
into three columns and moved against
Anping, where the Russians occupied
a steep and we'll fortified eminence,
which they had spent months in
strengthening The Russian position to
the east and south of Anping extended
along a ridge north of Taishukou to
Hundshahng, through ..Hanpolin and
Tatientsu. The advantages were with
the Russians. The Japanese were not
able to secure good positions for their
artillery except along the Liau-yang
road.
The Japanese left column moved for
ward Aug. 25, driving back a small
force of Russians, and on the 25th took
possession of line on an eminence
north of Erhtackou and south of Pc
lingtzu and prepared to give battle the
following day. At midnight the 25th
the Japanese center rushed forward in
a bayonet charge against the Russian
center, which was located in the vicin-
ity of Kugchanglin. This charge was
a surprise and proved to be eminently
successful. The Japanese captured the
entire position The Russian forces
on the second and third lines were then
strongly reinforced and offered deter
mined resistance.
A fierce rifle engagement ensued and
continued with unabatement through
the 26th. The Russian artillery posted
at Anping got the. range Of the Japa-
nese lines and sent in a deadly fire.
The Japanese artillery was not able to
obtain good, positions and was badly
exposed. The Russian infantry en-
deavored to recover its lost ground,
but the Japanese, held their positions
and managed gradually to press the
Russians toward the valley of the Ian
river. The Japanese right column made
a night attack. on Hungshaling.
A severe rifle ana artillery duel
opened at dawn and lasted until noon.
The japanese, left column, the principal
strength of which was in infantry, at
tackled an eminence north of Tapsikou
at dawn of the 26th. The Russian ar
tillery was in semi-pernanent fortifi-
cations north of Taa Tientsu, and
northwest of Kaofengsu and in
strength superior to that of the Japa-
nese. This bombardment reached its
height between and o'clock in the
afternoon. The Russian fire had dwin-
died at times, but the Japanese were
unable to silence the enemy's guns.
The Russian infantry was reinforced
and pressed against the left wing of
the Japanese left column. The Japa-
nese troops were dangerously exposed
and the advance of the left column re-
tired.
In the meantime the Japanese center
had pierced the Russian line, COM
pletely dividing it, but both the Rus
sian lines. held their positions firmly.
