Ivie, the republican nominee for congress, R. $. Granger, Stanley Crandall ard other G. o. P leaders during the afternoon.
 Reports from Fayetteville are to the effect that the Bull Moose leaders from that city hoped to induce Judge Iyie to withdraw from the race leav- ing Mr. Putnam to oppose Judge J. N. Tillman, the democratic nominee for congress The local republican leaders declared today however, the visitors made no effort in this dfrec- tion, whatever might have been in their minds when they cane to liar rison
 The local republicans also asserted this morning that whatever the pro gressive party might do in this dis trict there would bea republican can didate f5r congress.
 Reports from Fayetteville show that the RnH Moose leaders realize the h3pelessness Of making any kind of a showing against Judge Tf1lman if there are both republican and Bull Moose candidates in the field. and it is believed that the visit of Messrs Putnam and FritrhaGd here yesterday was for the purpose of feeling. out the local situation and determining whether; any agreement migh1be made with the republicans for the withdrawal Of their candidate

POLAND VICTORY
IS DN|ND[ING.
Russian Statement Say Only
OutpOsts Fought.
ALLIES SPEED REDUCED
Ground In Bad Condition In Belgium
and the General Offensive
Movement 10 Re-
tarded.

London.--It Is thought possible Ber-
Inns celebration Of q great German
victory In Poland was premature. All
the German headquarters say Of the
battle there, is that the pursuit Of the
enemy continues.
The Russian Official report says the
engagements which have taken place
on the left bank Of the vistula have
been nothing more than outpost af-
fairs. In these the Russians would
seem to have been engaged In holding
the Germans, while the Russian main
force was forming along the Bzura
river, where a battle is beginning to
develop and German attacks is said to
have been repulsed.
AS was expected, the Germans made
an attempt to cross the yistula in an
endeayOr to outflank the Russians,
but this. was frustrated by a de-
structiye IRE from the Russian
artillery and the seizure OF the pontoon
bridges.
stiIi Against cracow.
Despite the desperate work facing
them In North Poland. the Russians
continue their operations in East
Prussia and against Cracow, while in
Western Galicia they are taking up
positions along the Dounaictz river in
an attempt to stop the fiow Of the
Austro-G German forces.
Part Of the Przemysl garrison has
made sortie in force In an attempt
to open the railway to the southwest
and Is giving battle to the Russian
besieging army.
Slow In Belgium.
With the Germans strongly in
trenched and the ground In bad condi-
ton, the offensive movement or the
Allies in Belgium and France is MAX
ing slow progress. At several points,
however. the French Official report
records the capture Of German
trenches. The offensive is being push
ed with considerable force in Flanders
and from the Belgian border south
to the River Disc. where the line turns
eastward.
The Germans keep up violent coun-
ter-attacks and by these and the use
of mines have in some cases succeeded
In preventing the Allies from follow
ing up their advantage.
Mines Left BY Raiders.
The German cruisers which raided
the east coast Of England succeeded
in sowing large mine field. In addi-
ton to the three steamers previously
reported as having been destroyed, a
mine sweeper. which was engaged in
clearing the seas. was blown up today,
and It is reported two other vessels
met like fate. This occurred while
the funerals of the victims of the
bombardment at Scarborough and the
.Harflepools were being held.
