Wings of Japanese Army Extend Northward East of and West of the City. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. Dispatches from St. Petershurg ex- pre the belief that if Kuropatkin intends to try and hold Mukden fight- ing may be expected almost immedi- ately. Oyan arm now cover a front of sixty miles, wings extend- ing to the northward east and west of Mukden. A rapid advance of both wings is expected when he is ready to close the net. So far there b been no heavy fighting. Tokio remains silent on the military situation and no word comes from the Japanese side. _ JAPANESE LEFT ADVANGES MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT IN THE SITUATION AT THE FRONT. s ey = 8t. Petersburg, Sep! —The latest development in the situation at the front is the definite ablishment ot the fact that Field Marshal Oyama has now begun to move up his le:t General Kuropatkin's latest report shows that the Japanese have reached Davan, on the west bank of the | river. A considerable con of Japanese is observed at on the Hun river, thirt, southwest of Mukden, and Japanese cavalry is massing in the valley of the Pu river. The latter is a tributary of the Hun river, which crosses the line of railway midway between Tie pass and Mukden and may furnish a natural line of advance trom the west. Oyam armics now apparently cover a front of sixty miles for en oping movements. His wings a tended to the north, east and W Mukden. Thus far the Russians have found little strength or pressure from the Japan center. Oyama seems (¢ be moving with great deliberation, probably gathering strength for a rapid advance of both wings when an attempt is made to close the net. Al- though the imaginary line connecting the extreme Japanese advance cast and west of Mukden ';llll passes ten miles below t s evident that the fate of Mukden cannot lonz be delayed. If General Kuropatkin in tends to try to hold the city fichting on his flanks will begin almost immi diately. REPULSED BY RUSSIANS. Japanese Vanguard Assumes 'the Of- fensive. 8t.

Big Timber, Mont., Sept. 28.—Sen- ator Fairbanks discussed the wool ta iff in his first speech of the day, made at this point. Senator Fairbanks said: ‘It is the policy of the Republican party, so far as possible, to diversify industry throughout the United States. It has sought to stimulate the estab- lishment of new industries by means of protection. It believes in encourag- ing sheep husbandry and in stimulat- ing the production of woolen goods in the United States. “There is no good reason why the American farmer should not be ‘able to produce the wool necessary to meet our great and expanding domestic needs. We should not turn over wool growing for our uses to the farmers of Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, the Argentine Republic or elsewhere. We should not pursue a policy which de- stroys the American flock, but on the other hand should by application of | the protective principle encourage | sheep raising in our own country.
