J What is happening at the seat of j war is known only to those on the ground. There is no immediate news, neither through the medium of press aiopatches nor from official sources Kurppatkin reports, in a telegram sent Wednesday evening, that he did not lose a single gun in his retreat, and that Kuroki is on his east flank and Oku on his left, and St. Peters burg officials surmise that' a big battle may be fought if the Japanese con tinue to press on to Mukden. The story of bad roads and hampered transport is repeated, and from Muk den, in the last dispatch received, comes the significant intimation that! "There is an interesting movement to wards Tieling," the nature of which is not disclosed. The General Staff Expects a Big Battle v to Occur. St. Petersburg, September 8. A dispatch from General Kuropatkin, timed 6:30 o'clock yesterday evening, was received today. He reported that General Kuroki's army was abour twenty-seven miles eastward of the railroad and that General Oku's army was twenty miles wesc of the railroad. The general staff expects that a big battle will be fought. General Kuropatkin reports that he did not lose a gun during the retreat. ? The best information of the office Indicates that General Kuropatkin lost about 17,000 men during the ten days' battle at Liao Yang.- Recent Fighting at Port Arthur. Che Foo, September 8. 1:40 p. m. Chinese who left Port Arthur on Mon day arrived here today. They report that severe fighting occurred Septem ber. The Japanese attacked certain positions on the east and west flanks, i Vand vve Russians allowed them to ap- they Opened a heavy fire and compell ed the- Japanese to retreat after three hours fighting. An incident of the en gagement was. a clash between Japa nese and Russian regiments of cav alry, resulting in the retreat of the Xormer. A Japanese Column Meets a Horrible Disaster. Che Foo, September 9. 1:30 a. m. A Japanese column numbering ap proximately 700 men, while marching along at night on a road in the valley between Long Hill and Division Hill,, "met a frightful disaster through the explosion of an electric land mine, September 1. The mine was carefully laid by Russians three weeks ago. it covered nearly a mile of available inarching space. The explosive was placed at the bottom. Rocks were placed next, and on top of these clay was packed so carefully that the ground gave the impression of not having been disturbed. The indications of Japanese activity in this vicinity put the Russians on - guard. Near midnight the outposts rushed in and reported that the Japa nese were approaching. The Russians withheld their fire for some time. Suddenly they threw a searchlight up i the valley. The Japanese opened -with rifle fire. The Russians waited un , til apparently the whole Japanese. col umn was in the danger zone. Then the mine was exploded. The force'of the , explosion knocked j a number of -Russians down, and the sight of Japa- . "a n ese rifles, water battles, lesrs and . arms hurled through the light space made by the; searchlight was an awful spectacle. Some rocks, landed - inside the Russian lines. There was one. ap palling moment, during which , the garrison itself .was stunned j "' then a deathlike silence. Tne searchlight J sides, strewn with dead. The follow ing day the Russians buried the dead, but owing to their dismembered and mutilated condition, the Russians were unable to accurately estimate the number of killed. A few Japanese escaped, however. The foregoing- information is con tained In a small sheet issued Septem ber 3, by the Port Arthur Novakrai, a breakage in the press having made it impossible to issue a full edition. Korsakvosk Bombarded by Japanese Cruisers. St. PeCerscburg, September 8. Two Japanese cruisers bombarded Korsak vosk,., Island of Sakhalin, yesterday and fired torpedoes at the sunken Rus sian cruiser Novik'. No attempt was made to land. Korsakvosk is defend ed by coast batteries. St. Petersburg, September 8. Lieu tenant General Liapounoff, military governor of the Island of Sakhalin, in a dispatch to the Emperor dated yes terday, has transmitted the report of the commander of the garrison of Korsakvosk on the visit of Japanese vessels to that place Tuesday as fol lows: . ' - . . "At 6 a. m. Tuesday the smoke of steamers was observed at sea and the troops were prepared for action. Two Japanese transports of 6,000 tons each anchored eight versts out, and two launches were lowered and proceeded to the Novik. .At 10:45 the order was giyen to fire volleys at the Japanese on board the Novik and in the launch es. This firing was so successful that the deck of the. Novik was cleared and the launches returned to the trans ports. The enemy returned the Prus sian fire but1 no damage was done. At 12:45 p. m. the transports put to sea. . 'Ths commander of the garrison went on board the Novik. and found a number of rifles and some wires con nected with mines. The wires were cut and nine mines, in different parts of the ship, were removed." Firing Heard at Sea. Wei-Hai-Wel, September 8. Firing at sea wras heard here last night and boats outside the harbor claim that they saw flashes distinctly. Vessels which went put from here to investigate the firing were unable to ascertain whether the! Japanese were firing upon Russian ships, which had escaped from Port Arthur, or upon junks. The activity of the Japanese in catching junks makes the latter, supposition the more probable. Eigh teen junks have been captured by the Japanese during the last few days. A British ship reports that seven ships were engaged in the cannonade, and that they steamed away and dis appeared upon the appearance of the British vessel. Preparing for an Assault on Port Arthur. Che Foo, September 8. 4 p. m. -Apaprently well informed Japanese who reached Che Foo from Port Dalny lOday report that the Japanese army before Port Arthur is preparing to make another assault on the fortress. Japanese agents here are sending to Port Dalny seventy thousand gunny sacks .and are endeavoring to secure sixty thousand more. It Is reported that these sacks are to be filled with sand and used to fill up portions- of the moat protecting the Russian right flank. . The Chinese report that the Rus sians are paying fifty cents each for unexploded shells, manufactured foi use during the Chinese-Japanese war. The persistency of this report during the" past two weeks entitles it to con siderable consideration, as indicating a shortage of large ammunition at Port Arthur. If Challenged Kuropatkin AVill Fight. Mukden, Wednesday, September 7. (Night. Delayed in transmission) The fighting has ceased ana the Rus sian transport and army are moving without interruption. There is much uncertainty concerning the movements and purposes of the Japanese. It1 is impossible to say definitely yet wheth er there will be another battle here or further north. General Kuropatkin evidently is not seeking to renew the battle, but if challenged he will sfot decline an engagement. . Russians Still Hold Mukden. Berlin, September 8. Colonel Gaedke, war correspondent of the Ber lin Tageblat telegraphs that Mukden was still held by the Russians this morning. Wild Reports Circulated in Mukden. Mukden, Wednesday, September 7. (Delayed) News of a fight at some point between Shakhe (eleven miles northwest of Liao Yang) and Mukden is hourly expected. Among the reports current here is one to the effect that General Kuroki has been killed, and that two Japanese generals have been made prisoners; but no one seems to know where the reports originated and no confirmation is obtainable. Description of the Fighting at Liao Yang. St. Petersburg, September 8. A Russian correspondent of The Asso ciated Press, in a graphic description of the fighting at Liao Yang, says: "Only the Russian soldiers tradi tional splendid qualities enabled them to support the terrible conditions, of which the lack of sleep was the most unbearable. : The . Japanese availed themselves to the utmost of xain and darkness, and did not cease fighting, their night attacks testing Russian en durance severely; - The Japanese suf fered terribly, but made light of their losses. They continually drafted fresh reserves into the ranks to replace the tvorn-out men. ; v-. ' , -v 'In deed, the numerical . superiority tf the Japanese is astoundlnr and in- IS BEHIND BULL RUN. GENERAL- GRANT S POSITIOX NOT KNOWN TO GENERAL BELL. The Attacking Brown Army Harassed in Its Advance General Bell is Still Two Miles from the 3Iain Position of -His Adversary An Early Morn ing Attack Expected. . Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, "Va. Sept. 8. Gen. Grant, commanding the Biue army, has taken UP a strong po sition behind Bull Run. This fact has not-yet been ascertained 'by Gen. Bell, commanding the attacking Brown ar my. This advance along the Welling ton Pike was harassed just west of Pageland Lane, by the first brigade of Gen. Grant's army under Gen.' Win t. Gen. Bell opposed this force with his first brigade under GeneTal Lee. Tak ing this as his adversary's center, he threw the brigades of Barry, Regan and iSmith to the right "of Lee, seem ingly in an effort to get around what would be the original left wing of the Blue army. When nightfall came at 7 o'clock this had not been accom plished owing to the distance tne main line of the Blue army. wa$ behind its rear guard kr Wint's bri gade. Gen. Grant selected this position be hind Bull Run in which to . defend Washington in order that it might be as easy as possible for his reinforce ments, which are on the way, to join him. His position is not what General Bell evidently has calculated on in or dering his turning movement. For this reason General Bell's army is as yet fully two miles from the -main position of his adversary and his ad vance is being opposed by a single bri sade. General Oorbin has traversed the lines of both armies today, giving par ticular attention to the condition of the men. When the. two armies come into actual contact tomorrow, if this should be the case before three o'clock. General -Corbin will draw the manoeu Ver at an end so that the men may get in condition for the review Satur day. iSo far as the war problem is concerned the benefit to the men and officers lies in the manoeuvring for position. ' When the forces collide the respective strength each side in each locality has decides the advantage, rather than the shooting of blank car tridges. The fighting between the two first brigades of each armv today resulted in forcing the Blue brigade back through a strip of woods it had occu pied just south of the Wellington Pike and west of Pageland Lane. Artillery was used by the Brown army in this action, thpflre being directed into the woods. This was followed up by the advance of the Brown line and the falling back of the Blue under the di rection of the umpires. The delay of the march to position until 9 'o'clock today is a matter of complaint on the (part of the Brown troops, as many as 100 prostrations from the heat having been reported among the Brown troops who were compelled to move in thft middle of the day. These men have been cared for in thP hospitals of camps numbers 2 and 3. and in the farm houses along the road. General Joe. Wheer arrived at headquarters camp this morning and immediately rode out to the firing line. General Bell, has removed his base of supplies 'through Thoroughfare Gap to Aldie. This action relieves him of the necessity of employing a large force to Protect .his base while operat ing in the eastern end of the manoeu ver zone. The Gap can be protected by a small force against a raiding par ty, and the removal of the base "of sup plies being unknown to the enemy makes it safe without (protection. This move to the western side of the Bull Run mountains is considered quite an important one, as it leaves Gen.- Bell with all "of his force free-footed to Pur sue without restraint or depletion of forces. ' Private Williams of the Fifth caval ry, who was wounded by being shot with a gun wad at short range is re covering under hospital treatment. General Oorbin, his staff and visitors at headquarters will breakfast at four o'clock tomorrow morning that advan tageous places may be taken to vi' the expected action. Th troops are at liberty to move at midnight if their commands desire. - DEATH OF MRSJRED. A. OLDS. WAS ONE OF RALEIGH'S MOST .

Eskp.us, N.-Y.. Sept. 8. Judge Parker todajj received pledges of loal sup port from editors of more than two hundted Democratic newspapers, rep resenting chiefly the middle west and south. They came on a ePecial train from New York to Hyde Park, crossing thence in the excursion steamer St. Johns, on which they afterwards had luncheon and returned to New York. The speeches were delivered at the edge pf the Rosemount veranda. After the speeches an informal recption was held. Upon the arrival of thft boat the ed itors marched up to Rosemount. head ed by, the 7th New. York regiment band whiclT played "Hail to thft Chief," as they 'reached the house. Josephus Daniels, of BJaleigh, N. Cv introduced Charles W. KnaPp. of St. Louis, as spokesman for the editors. 'Mr. Daniels said: "There are 5,100 newspapers in the United States supporting Parker and Davis. Commissioned by many of them by letter or telegram, nearly one-tenth of the whole number have come in per son to this Democratic Mecca to con vey assurances of earnest and enthus iastic support. I have the pleasure and distinguished honor of presenting Charles W. Knapp, of the St. Louis Jtepublic, who will voice the senti ments of the entire independent and Dmocratic press of America." Mr. Knapp was warmly applauded as he rose, and facing Judgft Parker, said in part: "We rejoice that the principles and policies of Democracy have found so worthy an exponent in 1904. because we realize -that every great popular movement must present to the people both the idea and the man for the hour. We give both and we are in favor oi the man who so impressively demon strated that he would rather be right than bp President. . "We mean that he shall be . Presi dent because he is right. 'Sow a Char acter' said a distinguished writer, 'And you reap a destiny. We shall prove the truth of the apothegm. The Dem ocratic party Planted Alton B. Parked atl -St. Louis and it will reap the Pres idency." It was some time before the ap plause following .Mr. Knapp's speech subsided enough for Judge Parker to begin his reply, which was as follows: Judge Parker's Speech. i Judge Parker said: "It is indeed a great pleasure to welcome to Rosemount this body of representatives of the great American press, one of the migh ty forces in the upbuilding and strengthening of a sturdy American citizenship. "The. leaders who have made a thor oughfare through history, down which in all the centuries their fame "will march with giant strides, have all been men who, though unmoved by hasty expression of the hurried judgment of the people, were yet guided in all their public acts by the knowledge of what the deliberate and mature judgment -f the people would be. Bo the great pa pers jare those which anticipate the careful -judgment of the majority. Though instant judgment of the peo ple may be often at fault, the ripe and final decision is always for the right. And 'the part of leadership is to know the right and to honestly, patriotically-, fearlessly and zealously ad vocate it. Just as long as the press can discern and lead the unhurried and well considered judgment of. the people, so long will its power grow mightily and so long will it hold its. place in the front rank of the unflattering and vig orous march of national progress. To the upbuilding "of the power of the press, and to the best use of that pow er you have devoted yourself. "I shall not take up your time with any reference to the great issues upon which our party, through its platform and candidates, confidently appeal to the people for endorsement, but crave your indulgence while il briefly refer to a single feature of the platform of the Republican party. ; "That platform opens with a declar ation of that party's many years of con trol of government. -. coupled, with ' the assertion that it 'has displayed a high capacity f dr?rule an d government, which has been made ever moreconspicuous by the- incapacity and infirmity of pur pose shown by its opponents. Thi5 challenge to a comparison of "Fortunately we have eight recent years of Democratic administration of the ex ecutive department of the government which we will gladly compare with any similar period since 1860. "The comparison will show that un der Democratic control, the administra tivej2Urity of the fathers was observed in the conduct of the government, that no one of its departments was permeat ed as of late with corruption, rivaling ' the days of the star route-frauds, that a successful effort was made to check the growth of expenditures, that it re sulted in each instance in cutting down the expenses within-the control of the execiitive department of the govern ment below that of the preceeding ad ministrations. The comparison will show also that each succeeding Republican administration after 186S increased ex penses and in some instances so greatly as to indicate reckless extravagance and waste of the people's money. "The sturdy honesty, marked ability and thorough devotion to principle of all those in high places during those Democratic administrations may with out ..hesitation be placed, alongside of the qualifications of similar officials in any and all other administrations. Who, I pray you, would hesitate to compare the members of the cabinet of those years with the present one, or. with any one. Is the fame of 'Bayard, 'Manning, iFairchild, .Endicott, Whitney, Vilas, 'Dickinson, (Garland, members of the 1884 cabinet, and Olney, Carlisle, La mont,. Smith, -Francis, Herbert, Bissell. Wilson and Harmon, of that of 4892 dwarfed when contrasted with the cab inet officers of today? When the com parison is once completed, you, will be eager to ask the people which is the better. They will declare the victor in the contest between administrations to be the one which, in addition to other exceliendies, saved jmany (millions a year to the nation. 'lExtravagance is running riot in federal, state and municipal govern ments, in spite of the well directed ef forts of some excellent officials. The indebtedness of the municipal govern ments are steadily piling up, bond is sues are increasingly! frequent, and the people have not the satisfaction in many instances of a f till equivalent in improvements for the money expend ed. And the federal government is leading in the raceof great expendi tures. Ere long the people will demand a reform in administrative expenses. And they will do it now if they are made to appreciate the whole truth. "The Democratic party is not a ma chine, it is a body of citizens who be lieve that on the whole its fundamen tal principles are best adapted to the conduct of the government. Among so many patriotic and intelligent men . it is inevitable that divergence of opin ion as to minor ciuestions and differ ences of view as to the correctness of the disposition of dead issues should be found. The party is concededly united today as to every vital article of faith" which can reasonably enter into the pending canvass. "Our adversaries are entrenched. In full possession of every department of the government, and it is a mistaken policy that would drive away voters who would help to oust them. The cause cannot be advanced by attacks on others within the party with whom we have had disagreements, but who are now working with us for a common result. "All men who have attained any de gree of prominence have their friends and the exercise of ordinary prudence forbids the alienation of allies who are willing and anxious to assist. The com ing electon is not to be determined by the iSeptember vote in hopelessly Re publican states, where local issues and candidates even are grievously handi capped, but the result in Vermont on Tuesday admonishes us, and there can be no harm in giving voice to the ad monitionthat a harmonious cot operation of all and the elimination of personal, factional and unimportant dif ferences involving no surrender of prin ciple, are essential to success.' Applause greeted iMr. Daniel's intro duction of Mr. Knapp and during thft latter's speech there wer many shouts of "Good for You!" and similar ex pressions of appreciation. Judge Parker's speech was listened to with the 'closest attention by the ed itors, few of whom had ever heard him speak. Judge Parker read most of his speech and made no departure from written text. He read with great care and deliberation, using few or no ges tures. The editors frequently applaud ed and several times broke into cheers and laughter at the speaker's attacks upon the Republican administration. The highest oiteh .of jenthusiam was reached toward the close when he dep rocated attacks on others within the Party. Cries of "Good "That's right," and the like broke from various parts of thft audience and for several moments the speaker had to wait for quiet. After the speaking was over Judge Parker and the members of his family greeted all the guests at an informal reception held on the veranda. The entire delegation and other visi tors then proceeded to the boat where luncheon was served. A Loving Cup Presented to Editor Daniels. New York. iSept. 8. The Democratic editors returned from Esopus about 8:30 o'clock tonight and a large major ity of them availed themselves of an invitation to visit Coney is 1 ana. They all expressed themselves as much pleased with their trip to Eso pus. On the return trip they adopted a resolution thanking: the national committee for affording them the op portunity of meeting the Presidential candidate. They presented to Joseph us Daniels a loving cup as an appre ciation of his management of the en tire affair. . . 1,500 French Pilgrims Received by the , Pone. . Rome, September 8.

In Addition to Twenty that Were Already on Duty. Prominent Counsel Engaged. Charlottesville, Va., September 8. At six o'clock this evening the seven representative business men compris ing the coroner's jury, investigating the McCue murder case, returned the following verdict: "We find that Mrs. Fannie C. McCue came to her death by a gun-shot wound in the chest inflicted by J. Samuel McCue, her husband." "The verdict might have been re turned Monday at the conclusion of the evidence taken on that day," said a member of. the jury after the. result was announced. "We had f virtually made up our minds at that time. It is the hardest duty I have ever had to perform, for I am a personal friend of McCue," The accused has employed Daniel Harmon and Walker and Sinclair as counsel, And prominent lawyers have been approached by the Crawfords, brothers of the murdered woman, to assist the commonwealth's attorney in the prosecution, but have not yet accepted. Fifteen additional guards have been stationed at the jail in addition to th. 20 on duty last night, but no mob vio lence Is feared since the arrest has been made and the people are satis fied.

Unions Will Return to Work. Chicago, 111., iSept. 8. The strike of the butcher workmen, which has de moralized the meat packing industry. throughout the country for the last two months, was officially declared off tonight by (President (Michael J.

This morning Mr. Donnelly' telegraphed the members of national executive committee asking their con sent to an announcement of the end of the strike. Tonight haying received favorable replies from all, he declared that the strike of the members of -his organization would end at midnight. The strike of the members of the affiliated unions at the stock yards who quit work in sympathy with the butchers will officially be called off to morrow morning at a meeting of the conference board of tha allied trades. This was decided upon at a meeting ; of the central body pf thft allied trades trades held tonight. The general body was at nrsx in favor of continuing the strike, but Mr. Donnelly, who . was. present announced that the men wer? defeated and that in) order to sarft his union from being entirely disrupted he would order his men to return to work in the morning, no matter what course might be taken by other unions. As the other unions had no grievance- of their own, but had gone on strike to aid the butchers, there was nothing left ior them but to follow the lead of Mr. - Donnelly and they too decided to call off the strike as far as they were con cerned.
