Kjrcki Having Force Across Twenty Miles Kuropatkin Decided to Concen trate His Whole Army on the Further Side, Abandoning Liac Y'arg. Th i! s lay's news from the seat of rar closed with the receipt of two dis ;..v t'-.i giving information of a most '.-n'AU-ant character as bearing on the inat!on of Manchuria at the close ; present campaign. Th first came from the Associated V-?3 correspondent at St. Petersburg, f : 'i there at 10:1G p. m., and said that t;-r.'r;il Kuropatkin had withdrawn his army to the right bank of the Tai:.f river so as to meet General l ;rikis flanking movement. The ln l". : in : from this dispatch was that I.iao Vans; had been evacuated, that r fy lying on the left bank of the rivir. Nothing to confirm this was received -i.'.fil several hours later, when a dis- r;'t'-h Iroin the Associated Press cor prndent at St. Petersburg dated Sep cr.i.r 2, and timed at 1:26 Friday 'i!-f. rniiig, said: "The news of the valuation of Liao Yang and the with drawal of the Russian army to the i 'Kiit bank of the Taitse river" had f jiiisod intense excitement and disap pointment. The. samo dispatch points out with iintahlo lack of comment that the Jap ens took advantage of General Kuro patkin'! withdrawal to occupy the city f u'-.io Yang. .he second dispatch, which may have a significant bearing on the campaign, is that filed at Mukden at 9:27 p. m., Thursday, stating that the train ser vice between Mukden and Liao Y'ang was interrupted. This may mean the utting of railroad communication, which would deprive General Kuropat- Ivin of an opportunity to retreat to his more northern base at Mukden. As printed out in the St. Petersburg dis patch, the Mukden correspondent does rot mention whether telegraphic com munieations are open. Petersburg, By Cable. The news of the evacuation of Liao Yang and the withdrawal of the Russian army to the sitrht bank of the Taitse river, reached only a small section of the people of St. Petersburg at a late hour, and caused Intense excitement and disap pointment. The majority of the in habitants retired to rest believing that the Russian arms had again been sue cessful and that the Japanese attacks has! been repelled. Ugly suspicions, however, had been rife during the day, owing to the absence of press telegrams from Uao Yang, leading to the belief that the communications had been cut by General Kuroki. The following statement was obtain ed by the Associated Press from the Avar Office at 10 o'clock Thursday night. "General Kuroki's army crossed in force to the right bank of the Taitse river, and it therefore became neces sary for the Russians to be in a posi tion to repel a blow in this direction. . ' In view of this development In the operations, General Kuropatkin decided to abandon his positions on the left bask and to concentrate his whole army on the other side of the river. This position is the strongest both in character and in site. The great issue will be finally decided there. MOTIVE FOR WITHDRAWAL. '"By withdrawing to this position the Russian army avoids the danger of be ing divided by the river, and enjoys the advantages of compactness. "General Kuropatkin's move, there fore, is not to be considered as a re treat, but rather as the carrying out of a well defined idea. The withdrawal of the Russians tc the right bank involved the abandon ment of IJao Yang, which is situated on the left bank. The Japanese took advanta5S of this to occupy the city, but the sternest part of the fighting is still before them unless General Ku- ropatkln decides at the last hour tc again fall back to the northward. It is more likely, however, that he will decide to fight to a finish. The cardi ere all in his favor, it is believed, now that he has the Japanese divided by the river,' thus effctually turning the tables upon hi3 foe, "The determined pursuit by the Jap anese of the Russian -outposts when General Kuropatkin gave the first order to withdraw, was probably due to their anxiety to kr-ep the Russians south ol Liao Yang until General Kuropatkin should be able to strike from the north east. General Kuropatkin, however, saw the trap and cleverly avoided it." Ud to the hour of filing this dlspatcn the War Office has not given out the details of the fighting of September 1, but it is believed that this fighting ex ceeded In fierceness that of any pre vious day. CENSORS WITHHELD NKWB. The absence of press telegrams from Liao Yang on September 1 arousea suspicion that changes of importance were proceeding which the military censors did not wish to be made known. A teleeram from the Associated Press correspondent at Mukden, filed at 9:27 on the evening of September he MEAT FAMINE SURE PROF. J. F. E1Y1SS IllLED Graphic Descriptions of Conflict Be tween Large Forces. Liao Yang, By Cable. The second day's battle commenced at dawn. Th Russians mad repeated bayonet ad vances on the road directly south of Liao Yang where the Japanese ap pi cached from Sanqualshlp and Tao, shelling the position in the Russian lines until A in the afternoon, when the engagement, which was general throughout the south id southeast, rarrowed to the main line. The Japa nese advance on the southeast was by way of the Feng-Wang-Cheng road. Immediately in front of Chiaofantun the Japanese stubbornly attempted to occupy a round-topped hill, which waa literally shaved by Russian shells, making repeated attempts the entire day where apparently it was impossible for anything to live. The cannonading continued from this point to the vicin ity of Wangpaotai until this evening, without apparent advantage to either side. The Japanese dropped shells with in two or three miles of the railroad station and in the plain of Wentshu Mountain, which is the most important eminence around Liao Yang, but the Japanese abandoned aggression there on account of the reistance they met. There was cannon fire last night, and this is expected nightly. The varied casualities here Included one Russian war correspondent wounded and also 25 Chinese women from Chiafon. The day's developments show that the Rus sians are prepared for all emergencies.

According to a dispatch from liao Vnno- npnfiRl Kuroki made his nrsi attempt to cross the Taitse river late In the evening under cover of a neavy bombardment of the extreme Russian left. The Japanese artillery, which had been firing uninterruptedly for 14 hours that day, ceased about 9 o'clock and then suddenly re-opened about 11 o'clock to conceal Kuroki s prepara tions for crossing the river. These preparations necessitated the estab lishment of a pontoon bridge, as the river was not fordable lower down the stream. JAPS CROSSED 20 MILES ABOVE. The efforts of the Japanese to cross the river on August 30, were not suc cessful, and General Kuroki ordered a portion of the army to ford it at Sakankankwantun. General Kuropat kin was unable to prevent the passage of the river, owing to the distance from Liao Yang, about 20 miles, but for the same reason the Japanese were unable to bring the forces which gained the right bank Immediately into action. Kuropatkin heard of the passage at Sakankankwantun after 6 o'clock on the evening of August 31, and immedi ately gave orders for his men to fall back upon the outer positions. This move is explained by the desire to col lect a strong force with which to re pel the flanking attack. General Sakharoff, in a dispatch tc the general staff dated today on yes terday's fighting says: "A portion of General Kuroki's force has crossed to the right bank of the Taitse river and Sakankankwantun. A division of infantry with cavalry and artillery crossed first and covered the advance of another detachment. After fording the river the Japanese ad vanced towards Liao Yang in two bodies, one due west and the other by the way of the Yontai mines. BOTH SIDES LOSE HEAVILY. The Japanese left a number of dead. After each bayonet engagement our troops found time to dig pits In the fields of Chinese corn in front of some of our positions. These, in some cases, were completely filled with Japanese corpses. The enemy's losses must have been enormous. Ours have not at the conclusion of a meeting of the allied trades conference board. The executive board of the Retail Meat Dealers' Association of Chicago had just been In conference with Mr. Donnelly and his associates, having come to ask certain concessions for the independent packers and to seek au thority to attempt to bring about a rreetine between the packers and representatives of the strikers. By ignoring these latest attempts at peace and adopting such an aggres sive step, the strike leaders demon strated the intention to make it a fight to a finish. Indications are that the five independent packers within the ttockyards enclosure will join the big Iackers in their fight, vhile those out side will endeavor to continue opera tion with union crews.
