Nodzu flanks them on their left with his division of fifty General Kuropatkin Surrounded by Japanese and Position Seems Desperate. thousand men. If Kuropatkin is de- feated in the impending battle he must either go westward or surrender. CAUSE FOR ANXIETY GENERAL KUROPATKIN DOUBTS : THE ABILITY OF HIS TROOPS TO HOLD ANPING. RUSSIANS WITHDRAW FROM HAICHENG CZAR’S ARMIES SLOWLY RETIRE AND ARE CONCENTRATING UPON LIAOYANG. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4—General Ku- | Topatkin’s armies are now concentrat- ing upon Liaoyang, falling back re- spectively upon Anshanshan, Liandian- | sian and Anping. These three points + form a ring of closely knit defenses ‘around Liaoyang and enable General Kuropatkin to risk a general engage- ment. The only cause for anxiety is Anping and General Kuropatkin's words that he hoped the troops would hold that place indicate a misgiving. The Japanese evidently realized the advantage of attacking this point and directed their strongest advance along | the Saisatzi-Liaoyang line. | ‘A brief dispatch from General Ku- | Topatkin reports the evacuation of | Haicheug and declares the Japanese did not continue the attack toward Liaoyang Aug. 2, adding that they evi- dently were unable to follow up their advantage of the previous day owing to the stubborn resistance of the Rus- sians, coupled with the tropical heat. | The general says the soldiers threw ! away their overcoats and equipments and adds that everything possible was done to relieve them, but nevertheless there were a great number of deaths from sunstroke. He does not specify the casualties of the battle and makes 1o mention of the loss of guns. ; WITHDRAW FROM HAIGHENG | KUROPATKIN SAYS THE MOVE WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN PERFECT ORDER. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4—In a dis- i patch to the emperor, dated Aug. 2, General Kuropatkin says: “Our troops have retired from Hai- cheng along the road toward Anshan- shan. The movement was accom- plished in perfect order and the enemy did not disturb us. “The terrible heat has caused many sunstrokes and measures have been taken to diminish the equipment the troops have hitherto been obliged to | car by transporting it in supply | carts. |~ “There is no serious news from the i eastern front.” | SEIZURE OF AMERICAN GOODS. { | State Department Not Yet Ready to Define Its Position. ‘Washington, Aug. 4—The state de- | partment is in telegraphic communi- | cation with its agencies abroad re- , specting the Russian seizures and de- struction of American goods, but it is not yet ready to define precisely its position as to the whole subject of | seizures. These exchanges are not confined to St Petersburg and Wash- ington, but are intended to develop the purposes of the governments of other nations and particularly of Great Brit- ain and Germany, whose shipping has suffered more than that of any other. The loss of a part of a cargo is in point of international law an issue of far less magnitude than the destruc- tion of a ship, and so far the British and Germans have lost their ships and the Amiericans only the cargo. This fact is believed to justify the state de: partment in pMceeding more leisurely than would otherwise be the case, leaving it to the larger sufferers to es- tablish their own ,policies respecting seizures. REFRAIN FROM - COMMENT. German Papers Ignore Sinking of Ves- sel by Russians. Berlin, Aug. 4—The press treatment of the sinking of the German steamer Thea by the Vladivostok squadron pre- sents a striking contrast to the angry protests against the seizure of the Hamburg-American line steamer Scan- dia, captured in the Red sea, and even the sinking of the British steamer | Knight Commander by the Vladivostok squadron, widely discussed as further | embittering Anglo-Russian relations, | All the great political dailies print the _| Thea incident inconspicuously as part of a Russian official report, without » l WANT THEIR LD EMPLOYES. Chicago Packers Send Cards to the Strikers’ Wives. Chicago, Aug. 4.—Notwithstanding the claim of the packinghouse mana- gers that they have no difiiculty in se- curing workmen they are said to be making very strong efforts to induce their former employes to return to work. The latest move made in that line is the distribution of cards among the wives of the strikers urging them to induce their husbands to return to the packing plants and offering in- creased pay. The firm of Schwarzschild & Sulz- berger has notified the county officials that it could not make the usual weekly delivery of meat according to| contract and the superintendent of public service placed an order for $4,000 worth of meat with an independ- ent firm. The packers announced during the day that they would attenfpt to import no more unskilled labor. They said they had all the raw men they needed and in the future would take on only a few skilled men. This news was de- clared by the strik to be a bait to them in the hope of breaking the un- ion ranks. The allied trades executive commit- tee during the day adopted a resol tion calling upon Building Commis- sioner Williams to take cogpizance of sanitary conditions existifig in the stock yards. APPOINTED BY CORTELYOU. Executive Committee for Republican National Campaign. Chicago, Aug. 4.—Chairman George B. Cortelyou of the Republican na- tional committee has selected the men who are to serve on the executive committee during the coming cam- paign. The committee is divided equally between Chicago and New York, four members being allotted to each headquarters. The following are the members of the executive committee as announced by Mr. Cortelyou: Eastern Headquarters, New York— Charles F. Brooker of Connecticut, N. B. Scott of West Virginia, Franklin Murphy of New Jersey and William L. ‘Ward of New York. Western Headquarters, Chicago— Harry 8. New of Indiana, Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, R. B. Schneider of Nebraska and David W. Mulvane of Kansas. Director of speakers’ bureau, West- ern headquarters, James A. Tawney of Minnesota.

New will have charge of the Western headquarters, while Senator Scott, it is said, will ex- ercise general direction of the work at New York. SULLY CREDITORS SPLIT. Declde That Estate Must Be Adminis- tered by Trustee. New York, Aug. 4—After a some- what stormy meeting that lasted two hours the creditors of D. J. Sully & Co. decided that the estate must be administered by the trustee and that they would withdraw their assents to the compromise agreement. The failure to agree was brought' about by Mr. Sully himself. After his counsel had explained to the meeting of creditors that all the individual creditors of Mr. Sully had withdrawn | their claims and that a majority of the ; firm _creditors had signed consents to | the 50 per cent agreement Mr. Sully ! raised the point of administration. It! was on that point that the two sides | split, { ESCORTED BY ARMED GUARDS. Party of Nonunion Miners Arrives at Zeigler, IIl. Zeigler, 111, Aug. 4—An engine haul- | ing one baggage. car and two coaches, carrying forty Pittsburg miners to take the places of strikers, arrived here during the day escorted by twenty armed guards. The train was backed into Joseph Leiter's stockade and un- loaded without interference. One of the guards was shot through the hand ‘whiie leaving the car by the acciden- tal discharge of his weapon. Leiter accompanied the men. Rapid-fire guns ‘were in position and guards centered in (he inclosure, all outposts being watched by deputy sheriffs. UNLESS MINERS REQUEST IT. No Meeting of Board of Cenciliation Will Be Called. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 4.—President Connell of the anthracite board of con- ciliation was asked during the day if there would be another meeting of the board soon. He replied that if the action of the executive board of Dis- trict No. 1, United Mine Workers was correctly reported the days of use- fulness of the conciliation board were about over. - He added that eet: | ticket. ROOT MAKES ADDRESS NOTIFIES SENATOR FAIRBANKS OF HIS NOMINATION FOR VICE PRESIDENT. CEREMONY OCCURS AT INDIANAPOLIS FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE SPECHES ON THE NOMINEE’S LAWN. Indianapolis, Aug. 4—Charles W. Fairbanks, senior United States sena- tor from Indiana, was during the day formally notified of his nomination for vice president of the United States by the Republican convention. The notification address was made by Elihu Root, ex-secretary of war, wbo was temporary chairman of the convention. Tke exercises were held on the wide veranda of Senator Fair- banks’ beautiful home in the presence of members of the notification com- mittee, consisting of one member from each state and territory, the governor and other state officers of Indiana, the Republican candidates for state offices, the Indiana Republican congressional delegation, Indiana delegates and al- ternates to the national convention, the state central committee and the Republican Editorial association. All these had been especially invited. On the lawn surrounding the three sides of the residence and extending far on all sides beneath the great for- est trees were several thousand friends, neighbors and political sup- porters of the senior senator. The es- pecially invited guests were served with luncheon in large tents on the lawn, the general public was served with light refreshments in the house and a photograph of the candidate and committee was taken from the steps of the veranda. Gathered at the residence were 5,000 people. Senator Fairbanks and Mrs. Fairbanks received the committee and especially invited guests and Mr. Root and Senator Fairbanks led the way to the veranda, where seats were ar- ranged for all. An enthusiastic greet- ing was accorded the two speakers as they appeared on the veranda. The demonstration lasted several minutes, during which the members of the com- mittee were seated.

Geneva, Aug. 4—The Russian police have evidence that the assassination of M. von Plehve, Russian minister of the interior, was planned at Geneva by the central committee of a Dorjevaya organization and that the death of the czar was also a part of the plot. Confederates of the assassin have been traced to a villa close to the French frontier on Lake Lehlan, where the details of the crime were arranged. Tragedy in a Barroom.
