Russian Legions Terribly Battered and More or Less Demoralized, But the Fight Goes Stubbornly on Notwith standing. St. Petersburg, Oct. 18.-2:08 p. m. The issue of the bloody drama be low Mukden is still in the balance. Theie is no attempt to minimize the sevue character of the reverse suffered by General Kuropatkin last week, but as yet there has been notb ing absolutely decisive. There cer tainly is no rout and no Sedan and the war office has not yet given up all houe that Kuropatkin may be able again to resume a genuine offensive. It is asserted here that the toae which the diplomats and newspapers cf Tckio assumed in referring to wha they stem to look upon as the clos ing act of the tragedy of General Kuroratkiu's army, is certainly pre mature Both armies are greatly ex Lausted and the final issue probably will deper.c" on which can regather it self the quicker. The Russian legions are terribly battered and more or less demoralized, but the splendid manner in which they went forward against Lone Tree Hill Sunday is sufficient evidence that the temper and courage of the troops are not completely shaken. The emperor this morning received Kuropatkin and Sakharoff's reports of the Russian attack on and capture oi the village of Shalandtzy, Halfway be tween Lone Tree. Hill and Shakhe, and simultaneously the storming of the former, thereby gaining two po sitions of the highest importance on the south Lank of the Shakhe river. There was no fighting on the Rus sian left yesterday and the Japanese operations on the extreme right evi dently intended to cut the railroad be low the Hun river have failed, the Jap anese being unable to get beyond Sin crinpu, 2 miles west of the Shakhe railroad station. Field Marshal Oy- ama seems to be ' massing troops against . the Russian center ; and the war office expects that he will make a desperate effort tonight or tomor row to retake the two vital positions. The general staff believes that the battle of Lone Tree Hill for valor and slaughter will occupy a place by itself Tn military annals. Kuropatkin, un der whose' eye the assault was made, re-christened it Poutiloff hill. In honor of the man who led the attack at t head of the Second brigade on the East Siberian rifle division, and who was subsequently decorated on field with the St. George's cross. The hill is a precipitous rocky height, and although the Japanese had occupied it only a short time, they had thrown up a ver.y strong defense. The river, running at its foot, increas ed the difficulty cf the task, but is was scaled and carried successfully against the unprecedented opposition of a Japanese division of 14,000 mei with many guns. The Russian losses were terrible. The fighting on the crest of the hill was altogether with cold steel. TheRussian officers swords aloft leading the scaling col umn, were literally lifted in the air ty the Japanese bayonets and the Japanese then bayoneted the first of the Russian soldiers who piled in the trenches. The dead in the trenches were bayoneted, their weapons bear ing marks of dreadful combat. While the war office holds owt hope that Kuropatkin may resume the gen eral offensive, it is privately admitted that the chances are against him un less there is some fortunate develop ment, it being explained that his as sumption of the aggressive at Shakhe and along the railroad was vital as the withdrawal of his left must be made under the shelter of his right. Some of the newspapers, notably the Russ, boldly hail the Russian suc cess at Lone Tree Hill as complete evidence that Kuropatkin will again make a genuine advance along the whole line, printing the announcement in big head lines: "The Russians Resume the Ad vance. "Kuropatkin Has Crossed the Shak he River." "He Has 28,000 Men and 2,900 Guns." Anglo-Russian Negotiations Little Progress. London. Oct. 18. The Anglo-Russian negotiations on the subject of contra band of war are making little prog ress judging from the correspondence of the foreign office with a steamship company trading with the Far EasC The latter before accepting consign- ments of locomotives, fish plate3,,etc, to Japanese railway companies and raw cotton for private concerns in Japan tsked the foreign office if this slass of cargo could safely be accept Ml. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne made two replies on Oct. 10 and Oct. 14. He said that the negotiations with Russia, which were still pro ceeding, had only resulted thus far in the admission of the principle that rice and provisions " were considered contraband, and, therefore, he couh. not undertake to say that vessels car rying a cargo of the nature indicate would be Immune from capture. LL NIGHT LONG THE DEAD WERE BURIED I WISCONSIN'S FIGHT. Russians Pay Military Honors to Japanese Dead. DISPATCH FROM GEN. SAKHAROP TRAGEDY AT T YTY, GA. Fatal Encounter Between a Merchant and Farmer. Tifton. Ga., Oct. 18. J. E. Slaughter a well known farmer, about 50 years of age, was shot and instantly killed at Ty Ty, 8 miles west of Tifton, by A. L. Ford, a merchant of this place. A few days ago Ford had some words with a young son of Slaughter's, and, it is said, cursed him. It is thought Slaughter met Ford in front of his store at Ty Ty and after a few words Ford Drew a pistol and shot him, two bullets entering his breast, causing instant death. Accounts differ as to. whether Slaughter drew a weapon on not. Ford has been in the mercantile business in Ty Ty for twenty years, and for tha past three year3 has lived In Tifton, running a large general store. He was closing up his business pre paratory to moving to Atlanta in De cember. Slaughter was a prominent farmer with a large family. Russians Repulsed, Japanese Attack on Right Wing During Night of Oct 17 and Seized the Village of Sha andtz. St. Petersburg, Oct. 18. The gener al staff has received the following dis patch from General Sakharoff dated to day. "The Russians repulsed a Japanese attack en their right wing during tha night of October 17 and seized the village of Shalandtzy, on the bank ol the Shakhe river and east of Shakhe. The enemy strongly bombarded and captured the village but did not ad vance to the attack on Lone Tree Hili now called Putitoff hill. "Tiit: work of burying the dead pro ceeded all night long. Military hon ors were paid the. Japanese dead. ' Con. ic" erable concentration of tna enemy's troops has been observe! against cur center. There was nc fighting yesterday on our left flank." ntensity of Its Bitterness Part FrlenCU and Divides Families. Wilwaukee, Oct. IS As the Repub lican fight in Wisconsin progresses it 'e daily becoming more bitter. Ai ifforts to settle it have failed. Pres ident Roosevelt has failed, the nation al committee has failed, Senator John C. Spoouer has failed. It is to be a fight to a finish, extending far beyond election day. The Stalwarts do not hope to carry the election. But the fight must go on. LaFollette must be exterminated. And LaFollette It equally determined and defiant. There will be no peace, he says, "until the last one or the gang har been taggea and read out of the party." After the election the Stalwarts will fight LaFollette in the legislature and they will continue the fight while they are waiting for the next campaign. It will be carried into local contests, in to county, city, vilage and township elections. Friends are being parted, families disagree, and in many instances bus iness relations are affected. Friends who differ on politics regard each other with suspicion, A good "hall breed" or LaFollette man will not deaj with a Stalwart in a business way he can avoid it, and vice versa. There are many peculiar and com plex situations. EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. OPENING OF SUBWAY. NEGROES RIOT IN BRUNSWICK. Circus Attaches and Local Africans Have Bloody Encounter. Brunswick, Ga. OcL 18.
