Oyama als says that the Russians are forti the heights on hoth sides of the Liao river at Tie pass. Beyond this the day’s dispatches from the seat of war relate to details of previous fighting and no light is thrown upon the all absorbing question of where the next engagement in force will occur. General Kuropatkin's estimate of his losses in the fighting around Liaoyang are far under the first reports. He re- ports that from Aug. 1o Sept. 5 he lost 4,000 killed and 12,000 wounded. ama placed the total of nalties at 17,500, making (Lt‘ total both armies in round pumbers 33,500.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 15.—The long expected detailed report of the battle of Liaoyang has been received from General Kuropatkin, The war oflice says it will fill several columns. The report covers the operations from Aug. 28 to Sept. 5. According to the ad- vance summary communicated to the press by the general staff it is very satisfactory, showing that the retreat was eftected with such precision that not a single field or fortre left behind. The total Russia are below 17,000, killed.

General $toessel Reports Jap Repulses at Port Arthur. Peu_xsbmg Sept. 15.—General commander of the Russian forces at Port Arthur, under the dates of Aug. 28 and Sept. 2, re- ports that renewed Japanese attacks on the fortress were repulsed with staall loss to the defenders. General Stoessel's first dated Aug. 28, “I am happy to report to your maj- esty that at ® o'clock on the morning of Aug. 27, during a violent rain and thunder storm, the Japanese again at- tempted to capture our left flank posi- tions near No. 1 fort and Udan moun- tain. Their attack was everywhere re- pulsed. Our losses were small—3 killed and 2 officers and 98 men wounded. A number of Japanese corpses would have been picked up by us but the enemy vented us from so doing by opening fire on the hospital attendants who had been sent out under the Red Cross flag.” Another dispatch from General Stoes- sel to the emperor, dated Sept. 2, say: “On the night of Sept 1 the enemy attacked Visokaya and Dlinnaya moun- tains and the neighboring fortifica- tions, opening simultaneously an ar- tillery fire on the forts and mountains. The leading files of the enemy, with the Japanese columns following them, were discovered in good time and our batter opened on them. The lead- ing files fortunately encountered some automatic mines and many of the en- v were blown in the air. The at- vas repulsed in an hour.

London, Sept. 15—The Globe sa. that the decision of the Vladivos prize court to confiscate that pori ot the cargo of the Br h stea! Calchas consisting of fiour, cotton timber consigned to Japan, if firmed by the Russian supreme coi.i, amounts to a complete ignoring of tie protest Jodged by Great Britain ai .t urg against the inclusion of ns in the Russian list of con- traband of war. The paper adds: “It has also been stated in behalf of his majesty's government in the house of commons that raw cotton would only be regarded as contraband when stined to make explosives. manifest shows there were thirt X bales of cotton on board the Calchas, consigned (o trading companies in Japan.

Y., Sept. 15.—Robert M. McWade, United States consul gen- eral at Canton, China, has been re- moved from office by President Roose- velt. Charges made recently were in- vestigated by Assistant Secretary Pierce, who went to the Orient to malke an investigation of several of the United States consulates in China and Japan. Secretary Pierce, in his re- port to the president, strongly sustains the charges made against Consul Gen- eral McWade. The order for Me- ‘Wade’s dismissal went forward during the afternoon, cooL IN THE NORTHWEST. Cloudy Weather in Some Sections Pre- vents Frost. Des Moines, Sept. 16. — Cloudy weather and high winds saved the TIowa corn fields from a killing frost during the night. Reports to the cen- tral bureau from every station in the stale indicate an absence of frost in every section, though the temperature fell close to the danger line. North Dakota Flax Suffers. Devils Lake, N. D, Sept. 15.—Heavy frost during the night killed one-half the flax crop of this county and also damaged considerable late wheat and other grains. No Damage to Corn. Sioux City, Ia., Sept. 15.—Special dis- patches from South Dakota show that no damage was done to corn by the light frost during the night. Child Drowns in Buttermilk. ‘Wabasb, Ind., Sept. 15.—Drowning in buttermilk is the fate which befell the fourteen-months-old child of Mr. anil Mrs. Adam Steele of Larwell.

CONTEST IN WISCONSIN Fight Over Regularity of Republi- can Ticket Now Before Supreme Court. Attorneys For La Follette Object to This Move By Anti- Third Termers. Madison, W Sept. 15.—When the supreme court convened during the day to take up the contest over the regularity of the Republican ticket all the judges were at their geats and the courtroom was crowded. The first proceeding before the court was the filing of an amendment to the complaint. The anti-third termers at- tach great importance to the acticn of the old state central committee in cer- tifying the nominees and the amend- ment attacks the regularity of this committee and its right to fill va- cancies. H. W. Chynoweth, for the La Fol- lette ticket, objected to this amended complaint, stating that it was an en- tirely new matter and should be ad- mitted in the form of a supplemental complaint. After the answer to the amendment was filed Mr. Olin asked that the GtaleLuls in the answer be verified 't dates and facts concernin signations. This Mr. Chynowetn agreed would be done and would be submitted to the court later in the day. National Committee Supreme. The brief submitted by George G. Greene of Green Bay, for the anti- third termers, deals almost entirely with the claim that the Republican na- tional committee is the highest party authority and claims that the court should not try the numerous issues of fact raised by the pleadings, but “should enforce the decision of the na- tional committee and convention, un- less the statute has specially vested the power of decision in some other officer or tribunal; that failing dec sion by the highest paity authority or such special tribunal the court should not try such issues but direct the nom- inations of each convention to go on the ballot on an equality.” The contention of Mr. Chynoweth, attorney for the La Follette ticket, is that the state central commilitee is the only legal authority to decide which is the regular ticket; that this body was created through an act of the legisla- ture and that their decision should be final. The answer of the La Follette faction attacks the national committee, the credentials committee and the na- tional convention itself. < The arguments continued through- out the day. WILL RENOMINATE PEABODY. Colorado Republicans in State Con- vention at Denver. Denver, Sept. 15.—Renomination of Governor James H. Peabody, with a strong endorsement of his “law and order” policy is the chiel feature of the programme prepared by the Re- publican leaders for the state conven- tion which met here during the day for the purpose of nominating presi- dential electors, congressman-at-large and a state ticket. Former Senator Samnel V. Newell of Gilpin county, who has been a candidate for the gu- bernatorial nomination, was entreated by friend and foe alike to withdraw and permit the nomination of CGov- ernor Peabody by acclamation, but to all he replied that his name would certainly go before the convention. Attorney Frank C. Gondy of Denver ‘was named as temporary chairman of the cuuvemion MONTANA DEMOCRATS MEET. Governor Toole WIII Undoubtedly Be Renominated. Helena, Mont., Sept. 15—The Dem- ocratic convention called for the pur- pose of nominating a state ticket and presidential electors met here during the afternoon. Beyond perfecting a temporary organization and appoints ment of the usual committees little progress had been made up to a late hour. The chief interest centers in the question of seating the contesting Heinze delegates from Butte. The matter of fusion with the Populists and Laborites is also attracting a great deal of attention. Governor Toole will undoubtedly be renominated. DO NOT CHANGE ESTIMATE. Returns Nearly Complete Election. Portland, Me., Sept. 15.—State elec- tion returns from thirty-seven of the seventy-two missing towns received up to noon brought the total up to 485 towns and indicated a further reduc- tion in the aggregated Republican vote, though not changing the estimate of 27,000 as the final plurality. in Maine ON THE FIRST BALLOT.

BETWEEN ODELL AND PLATT. Fight for Control of New York Repub- lican Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 15.—The ap- parently tangled political situation here had resolved itself by the time the Republican state convention actu- ally met into a plain contest between Governor Odell and Senator Platt, which the former and his friends until the last moment were trying to keep from taken open form upon the floor of the convention. There is no antag- onism between Governor Odell and Mr. Woodruff and none between Mr. Wood- rufl and Lieutenant Governor Higgins. It was made plain that Mr. Woodruft was not averse {0 an amicable settle- ment of the conflict between his own and the Higgins interests. It was the uncompromising attitude of Senator Platt in Dbehalf of Woodruff and against Governor Odell and the Hig- gins movement that prevented the pro- posed couference and precluded the possibility of Mr. Woodrufi's honora- ble withdrawal from the contest, or a compromise which might have resulted in the selection of a third man for the governorship nomination. The couvention was called to order soon after noon, former State Senator . Sloat Fassett being chosen tempo- mxy chairman. The appearance of former Lieuten- ant Governor Woodruff evoked a burst of cheers and Senztor Platt, who fol- lowed soon afterward, received an ova- tion that lasted several minutes. Governor Odell was not in attend- ance. In opening his speoch Temporary Chairman Fassett said: “Not being a Democratic nominee for the presidency I'shall have no hes- itation in discussing! public issues.” He then reviewed &he growth of the Republican party for the last fifty years, saying its groatest asset is the record of what it had done and in- quiring why there should be a change. A sentence that imimensely pleased the convention was: “It means a better chance today for a child to be born under the Stars and Stripes than under dny other flag be- neath the sun.” While the cheeridg at this senti- ment was in progress the band began to play “The Star Spangled Banner” and the delegates rose and sang the song to the end. At 2:15 p. m. the convention took a recess until 11 o'clock in the morning. SHANAHAN WILL CAS;DEC]DED. Surviving Heir of Dead Priest Awarded Small Fottune. St. Paul, Sept. 15—The Shanahan will case, one of the most famous equity cases ever lifigated in Minn sota courts, has fir ily heen. sett] after dragging alons: years. 8ix years ago F.lther Shanahan, a Caledonia (Minn.) priest, died, leaving behind an estate valued at $-IU,00“. which has since increased in value tc over $100,000. He willed the estate to Bishop Cotter, his superior, to be applied to the education of young men for the priesthood. Pridget Shanahan, supposed to he the only surviving heir of the dead priest, and who had been only a shori time in this country, went to Caledo- nia and engaged attorneys there to break the will. The case was carried to the district court, which decided that the trust in the will was void un- der the Minnesota law, which provides for indefinite and vague beneficiai The decision just rendered ends an litigation in the case and places the heir in possession of a small fortune. MINING ENGINEERS MEET. Twenty-seventh Gathering in Session at Duluth, Duluth, Sept. 15—The twenty-sev- enth meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers began here during the day at the rooms of the Commer- cial club, with over 100 members in attendance and having as guests prom- inent engineers from Russia, Mexieo and Cuba. About seventy-five of the party arrived on the steamer North- west and the remainder came in on va- rious traing. The morning session was called to order by President James Gayley, first vice president of the United States Steel corporation. The programme consists of a ses- sion of the institute at 10 a. m. at the Commercial club, a boat ride in the harbor at 2 p. m. and a reception at the Northland Country club at § p. m. WERE TRUSTED EMPLOYES. Two Clerks Rob Milwaukee Grain Firm of Over $150,000. Milwaukee, Sept. 15.—According to allegations contained in a complaint in a civil suit brought by the Bartlett, Frazer & Carrington company, grain and stock brokers, the company lost, through the operations of two former trusted employes, George D. Emery and Carl H. Baumann, $153,948.39. This is the first statement of the amount of the loss, although Baumann and Emery were arrested nearly a month ago, charged with embezzle- ment. Fmery was employed as office mana- ger, cashier and bookkeeper and Bau- mann as assistnat hookkeeper and pit trader. Emery and Baumann are now having their preliminary hearings. FOREIGN COLONY RIOTING. Pistols, Knives and Clubs Freely Used in an Ohio Town. ‘Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 15.—A riot is in progress in the foreign colony of Portland Station, O. Magistrate Leeper has sworn in fifteen deputy consta- bles to suppress the trouble. One map ‘was beaten almost to death, others had their ‘ears chewed off and noses smashed. Pistols, knives and clubs were freely used. The cause of the trouble is as yet unknown. The constables up to a late hour had arrested nineteen of the rioters.

MAY BE DISARMED Reasonably Certain That Russian Transport Will Stay At San Francisco. Vessel Can Be Put In Seaworthy Shape, However, Inside Of Thirty Days. Oyster Bay, N. Y. Sept. 15.—It seems reasonably -certain that the Rus- sian transport Lena will be dismantled and ordered to remain where she is now until the conclusion of the Russo- Japanese war, but final decision on that point may not be reached for a day or two. A possibility exists that she may be ordered to depart after making urgent repairs, but it is only a possibility. The report of the inspector of boilers and hulls, whch was referred by the department of commerce and labor to the state and navy departments, is sub- stantially as follows: The boilers and engines are both badly in need of repairs. To put in new boilers will require from four to six months. The tubes of the boilers are badly pitted, but the Lena has on board 200 additional tubes which could be put in in a short time and the in- spector says that the vessel can be put in a seaworthy condition in from twenty to thirty days and repaired so that she will be able to make about eight knots. This is regarded by officials of the navy department as entirely within the term “reasonable time” used in the president’s proclamation. The state department is now awaiting the de- tailed report of Admiral Goodrich be- fore taking iurther action. GRUISING IN THE PAGIFIC LENA ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL RUSSIAN SHIPS LOOKING FOR CONTRABAND. St. Petershurg, Sept. 15—The admi- ralty still declares it is without offi- cial advices relative to the presence of the Russian transport Lena at San Francisco. The. possibility of her dis- armament and other kindred questions will not be discussed and decided un- til the admiralty is in possession of full facts regarding the situation. Tel- egraphic inquiries, however, have elic- ited the information from Viadivostok that the Lena was sent to the Pacific ‘with the view of stopping the shipment of contraband of war. There is an in- timation also, but this is not official, thal certain other vessels, probably merchantmen purchased in Germany and converted into armed cruisers, are in the Pacific on a similar mission. It the United States declines to permit the Lena to have ample time in which to make complete repairs, without which she could not venture to under- take a long voyage either back to Vlad- ivostok or home by way of Cape Horn, it seems probable that Russia will ac- quiesce to the decision to disarm her. There is no disposition here to crit- icise the course of the United States so far as it is revealed in the press dispatches. MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION. Another ExarQnation to Be Made of Russn Transport. San Francisco, Sept. 15—Another and more thorough inspection of the Russian cruiser Lena will be made during the day by naval engineers in order to furnish the state and navy departments with more complete data concerning her boilers and seaworthi- ness. In the event that the Lena is dismantled she will probably be laid up at the Mare Island navyyard. Rear Admiral Goodrich has been directed by the navy department to offer the navyyard to Captain Berlinsky for that purpose. The watch kept on the Lena is even more rigid than at first. The gunboat Bennington has moved nearer to her and the patrolling launches are re- lieved every day. It is reported that Japanese Minister Takahira has cen- sured the local Japanese consul, M. Uyeno, for demanding that Japanese inspectors be permitted to inspect the Lena and pass on her need of repairs. ANOTHER VESSEL COMING. Said Russian Cruiser Is Due at a Pa- cific Port. Paris, Sept. 15.—The correspondent of the Echo de Paris at St. Petersburg has telegraphed his pafler as follows: “The ministry of marine tells me, regarding the arrival of the Russian transport Lena at San Francisco, that another vessel, the Korea, is also due at an American port on the Pacific. Orders have been sent to the Russian ships to scrupulously conform with the American neutrality rules, which are expected to permit them taking on enough coal to reach Vladivostok. I consider the situation very delicate, as there is evidence that the ships were destined to prevent the transport of contraband goods from the United States to Japan and perhaps capture vessels carrying contraband.” Floater Found in a Trunk. Cleveland, Sept. 15.—The body of a middle aged woman was discovered floating down the river during the day tightly wedged in a trunk.

New York, Sept. 15.—Rear Admiral Walker, the head of the Panama com- misson, declared during the day, on his arrival from Colon, that the United States government intended to keep the two open ports in the canal zone in spite of any protests which might be made by the Panama government. He added that he did not anticipate any trouble over the making of Ancon, on the Panama side of the Isthmus, and Cristobal, near Colon, free ports of entry. “The unfortunatc part of the affair,” he said, “is that it has got into local politics. Of course the outs bave to protest against what has been done by the ins.” Admiral Walker said that the work of excavation was now proceeding twice as fast and with less men and at half the cost as under the French company. Health conditions, he de- clared, were excellent and the canal construction work was being rapidly systematized. He declared that state- ments which have found their way into the press relating to political ex- citement in Panama were greatly exag- gerated. Everything at present seems to be quiet and satisfactory to the Deople of Panama. ROOSEVELT TO GO TO CAPITAL. President Will Be at the White House Next Week. ‘Washington, Sept. 15.—President Roosevelt will return to Washington the first of next week, when there will be a renewal of activity in political circles here, and attention will be given to public matters which require it. The fact that President Roosevelt sees comparatively few politicians who desire to talk about campaign affairs during his stay at Oyster Bay makoes it gratitying to the party workers that the president is to come here for the greater part of the next month.
