LONDON, Sept. 2.-This mornings
newspapers comment on the dispatch
from Mukden, saying that the train
service between Mukden- and Liau-
yang is interrupted and that the roads
are impossible, as the most important
news from the scene of hostilities in
the far East, and say that there is
only one meaning of 1t; that the Japa-
nese have seized the railway between
Liau-yang and Mukden.
Correspondents of the Chronicle and
Mail assert that the Japanese occu-
pied Liau-yang on Thursday. There
is no official confirmation of these
statements, but the latest official dis
patches to- the japanese legation re-
port the capture of the heights south
west of Liau-yang at dawn Thursday.
This dispatch adds: Thereupon the
enemy in the south Of Liau-yang COM
menced to retreat. Our armies are
now pursuing him."
The Mails Kupantz correspondent,

Oscar CoIrud Meets Shocking.
Death Under Street Car

~
Oscar Colrud, of Rosholt, Wis, was
run over by westbound Seventh
street car last night at the corner of
West Seventh and Exchange streets,
and instantly killed shortly, after II
o'clock. He was. nearly cut in two by
the wheels, and the car. had to be lift
ed on jackscrew- before the body
could be taken from under the hind
trucks.
Colrud was walking across Seventh
street when he was struck by the car.
His body, fell upon the track and be-
fore the car could be stopped nearly
its entire length had passed over him.
The body was SO badly crushed and
mutilated that not bone escaped be-
ing broken.
George: Sladak, the motorman, said
ne saw the man step from the side
walk when the car was thirty-five feet
away. He said he rang the bell and
shouted, but Colrud did not seem to
hear. When the man stepped in front
of the car he was instantly thrown
down, his body lying across the track.
Coroner Arthur w. Miller, who was
on the scene within five minutes after
TIC dCSiueHl, SdiQ tnaC the car must
have been going at high rate of
speed, judging from the. manner in
which the man had been rolled over
and crushed by the wheels before the
car was stopped. Coroner Miller an
nounced that he will hold an inquest,
but the date has not been fixed.
Colrud's identity was established by
a letter which he had in his pocket.
1t was from his father, Bernt o. Col
rud, and was dated at Minneapolis. In
the pockets were also found some ar
ticles which he had purchased; souve-
Mrs from the state fair, bank checks
on the State Bank of Rosholt, Wis,
and memoranda indicating that he had
come from Rosholt
Colrud was married and apparently
about fifty years old.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Sept. 1.-The
nomination of John Lind for supreme
court justice in Minnesota has upset
some of the plans of the Democratic
congressional committee. 1t had been
planned to have Mr.. Lind make
speeches in the close districts in the
West with special reference to re-
vision of the tariff and Canadian reci-
procity, and confidence was expressed
that his speeches would have an i'm
portant bearing on the votes in some
Of the doubtful districts. Now that he
has been nominated for a judicial
office it is feared that he will not be
permitted, under the custom now in
vogue, to make these speeches, al
though an effort will be made to have
him make several addresses outside
Of Minnesota.
General pleasure is expressed at
Gov. Lind's prospective election to
judgeship, but it is tempered with re-
greet that he will not be able to aid
the Democrats in the campaign for the
house to the extent, that was planned.

Frank A. Day, Of Fairmont, will be
chairman of the Democratic state cen
trail committee and will manage the
shades of political belief firmly believe
will elect John A. Johnson, of st. Pc
ter, governor of Minnesota.
Capt. w. H. Harries, of Caledonia,
chairman of the Minneapolis state
Democratic convention, after a confer
ence with Johnson and the others on
the state Democratic ticket, held at the
Merchants hotel yesterday afternoon,
announced the personnel of the execu-
tive committee, authorized by a mo-
ton made by L. A. Rosing, of Cannon
Falls, and unanimously carried in the
convention.
Five of the six members of the COM
mittee were announced yesterday, the
only vacancy being the place credited
to Hennepin county, and this will be
made public within day or two. The
Hennepin county leaders WILL in the
meanwhile get together and agree,
with F. G.. Winston, nominated for

ment of all Democrats in Hennepin.

johnson Chooses Day
1t was announced, after the meet
ing, that Mr.. johnson had invited
Frank A. Day, of Fairmont, to man
age his canvass, and that Mr.. Day,
while disinclined to sacrifice his per-
sonal affairs for the next two months,
will accept the important post.
Day was one of the original Johnson
men, and did probably as much as any
one man to harmonic the situation
which resulted in giving Johnson a
nomination that was not only unani-
nous, but which was marked by an
enthusiasm seldom seen in a nominat-
ing convention.
The Fairmont man has had large
political experience. For some years
he represented his senatorial district
in the state senate and was president
of the senate when, in 1895, the cleo
ton of Gov. Knute Nelson TO the Unit
ed States senate elevated Lieut.. Gov.
Clough to the governorship. Mr.. Day
became lieutenant governor, and while
he was ousted from his senatorial po-
sition by a hostile Republican majority
in the senate, he has always had a
strong place in the affections of the
people at large of the state.
Since his deposition from the senate
in 1897, he has not held Office, but he
has maintained an active interest in
political matters and has wide ac-
quaintance with men and affairs in
the state, and it is expected that he will
bring to his position at the head of the
Democratic state central committee a
rare executive ability and seasoned
judgment.

CITY NEWS
QUESTION LEGALITY
OF FILINGS AUG. 81.
Lawyers Contend Time to File.
for Nominations Expired
Tuesday, Aug. 80

question raised informally by law
yers throws doubt on the validity of
filings for the primary election made
on Wednesday-which under ruling
made by Attorney General w. B. Doug
las two years ago, was made the last
day for filing under the law.
Five Democratic candidates for con-
gress filed with the secretary of state
Wednesday and among the most i'm
portant filings in Ramsey county on
the last day was that of Edward Pc
terson, who filed for the Democratic
nomination for county auditor. All
over the state men filed as late as
Wednesday on the strength of the
opinion rendered two years ago by the
then attorney general.
To attack the filings made would
doubtless. prove an unpopular proceed
ing, but it is by. no means improbable
that legal proceedings may be insti-
tuted to test the validity of the filings
made on Aug. 81.
The Argument
Those who argue against the con-
struction put upon the law by Douglas
and followed by the secretary of state
and the county auditors in permitting
filings on Wednesday, say that while
the law provides that all filings shall
be made twenty days before the pri-
mary election day, the language of the
act itself excludes counting the cleo
uon day as one of the twenty This
would require Sept 10 to be counted
as the. last of the twenty days, where
the election is set by law for the Goth.
IA
law of 1894, a general statute relating
to computation of time in contracts.
ETC., which says:
"The time within which an act is to
be done shall be computed by exclud-
ing the first day and including the
last"
Arguing on this basis, lawyers favor
ing the first proposition that Aug. 80 is
the last day for filing, say that the day
of filing must be excluded and that.
using the primary election statute as
the law, the primary election day sets
back the last day of filing and makes
Aug. 80 the last day for legal filings.
A supreme court decision, Brady VS..
Moulton, 81 Minnesota Reports, 1S5, is
counted on to controvert the reason
ing. but in this case, which was to de-
termine the notice given in an election,
the day of election was included in the
calculation. The primary election law
itself, however, excludes the election
day from the computation, and many
lawyers incline to the view that when
the question is brought squarely be-
fore the supreme court it will hold
that Aug. 30 is the last day for filing.
Attorney General Donahower said
last night that his Office had given no
opinion on the question and would prob
ably give none. He had received in
quiries from a number of county au-
ditors during the past week as to the
last day for filing, but he had simnIv
sent them copies of Attorney General
Douglas opinion of two years ago. The
attorney general refused to discuss the
point last night, saying that he would
not anticipate litigation by giving his
view Of the question involved.

burg, which is not confirmed from any
other source, reports that Gen. Line
witch, from Vladivostok, is within three
days march of Mukden with 10000
troops.
All the morning papers turn to the
problem as to whether Gen. Kuro-
patkin will be able to extricate his
forces or whether Marshal Oyama, will
be able to complete the victory by en-
veloping and destroying the Russian
army. The consensus is that Gen.
Kuropatkin's position is most perilous.
The absence of kilograms from Liau-
yang, together with the news that the
railway is interrupted, the newspapers
regard as showing that Gen. Kuropat-
kin has begun his retreat too late.
Reports come from Kin chow that the
Japanese have effected a landing of
troops and the capture of two, small
forts near Tigers Tail, three quarters
of mile from Port Arthur, and near
the lighthouse at Liaoti mountain and
that the attack is vigorously, pressed.
