MIXED SITUATION

There Is a Lack of Clarity AboutNews From Tlieater of War. BATTLE STILL RAGING Beyond Ihis Vital Fact Very Ijittle Definite Information lias Come From Liao Y.nr. Even the Report of the Evacuation . of Walled City Seems to Have Been Premature. The lack of definite information from the seat of war continues and nothing regarding the situation at Liao Yang is known beyond the fact that Kuropatkin has withdrawn the main portion of his forces to the north or right bank of the Taitse river, and that according to the latest advices the action is still In progress. There Is disinclination In St. Petersburg to believe that Liao Yang has been aban doned, and at the same time it is de clared that the position Kuropatkin now occupies is the one he had pre pared and fortified and where he has all along planned to make his second stand instead of directly in and THE OF OPERATIONS. around Liao Yang with the river at his back, as has been believed. It is thought by Russian experts that in attacking Kuropatkin's present defenses the Japanese are facing an almost Impossible attack and especially with their forces divided by the river. Advices reaching Tokio say that the Taitse is flooded and cannot be forded, and therefore the river itself becomes an important factor in the general scheme of Russian defense. Dispatches from both Russian and Japanese sources indicate that the troops on both sides are jaded and weary after the many days' fighting and it is pointed out that in consequence a temporary lull in the active struggle would not be surprising. A dispatch received at Tokio says that great fires are raging at Liao Yang, believed to result from Japanese shelling or from the efforts of the Russians to destroy their stores preparatory to the evacuation of Liao Yang, with the additional hope of Injuring the city as a future Japanese base. The opinion prevails in the Japanese capital that the Russian casualties in the recent fighting will reach 30,000, while the Russian losses of August 31 and Sept. 1 are given in official reports as 5,000 killed or wounded. The report from Marshal Oyama that he was engaged on Thursday with the Russian center would indicate that at least a portion of Kuropatkin's army was still on the south bank of the river. It is not yet definitely stated that the Japanese have occupied Liao Yang. JADED AND WEARY Japanese Troops Subjected to a SoulTrying Strain. Tokio, Sept. 3. The premature rumors of the fall of Liao Yang are repeated today, but a careful analysis c? official reports shows that the Russians have merely been driven into their last line of defenses, where they Will probably make a desperate resistance. Three Japanese armies are closing around them. Tokio, Sept. 3. A few additional details of the progress of the battle at Liao Yang have reached Tokio. General Kurokl's right is continuing to press the attack at Heiyingtai, seeking ground whence their guns will dominate the railroad. The troops under Kuroki are jaded and weary. They have been marching and fighting since Aug. 23, but in spite of this they attacked with spirit. The Japanese are confident that they have already swept back the strong Russian force with which they have been engaged, and it is probable that when the details are known it will be found that a great tragedy was enacted yesterday along the Taitse river. The Taitse is flooded and cannot be forded. General Oku, In command of the Japanese left army, has directed his energies to forcing the Russians to the river, and it is probable that many were drowned there. A private dispatch received here reports that grat fires are raging at Liao Yang. This statement is not confirmed officially. The fires are believed to result from the Japanese shelling or from the efforts of the Russians to destroy their stores preparatory to the evacuation of Liao Yang, With the addition! h,e of injuring

the city as a future Japanese base.

Unofficial estimates place the Rus sian forces in the vicinity of Liao Yang at fifteen divisions of 15,000 men each. These are probably excessive, but it is evident that numerically the Russians exceed the Japanese. The opinion that the Russian casualties in the recent fighting will reach 30,000 is confidently expressed in high quar ters here. Neither Field Marshal Oyama nor tne Japanese army com manders have yet estimated the Jap anese losses. It seems that the Japanese avoided a direct assault upon Liao Yang itself, but devoted their energies to the troops outside the city and an effort to cut off the Russian retreat. Liao Yang is strongly fortified and it is probable that the Japanese will not attack the city directly until they have succeeded in isolating it. Shourd the Russians abandon Liao Yang the Jap anese will of course enter. A DEARTH OF NEWS St. Petersburg Depends on Foreign Sources for Information. St. Petersburg, Sept. 3. All the war news, so far as St. Petersburg is concerned, is contained in telegrams from foreign sources, and there is painful suspense awaiting news from Russian sources. Continued and dogged confidence in General Kuropatkin is expressed in many quarters, and the public generally, as well as many of the military authorities absolutely refuse to believe that Liao Yang has been abandoned or if it has been, that Kuropatkin is not in a better position to make a strong sta-nd north of the Taitse river. There seemed to be an air of considerable confidence at Peterhof. An official who saw the emperor Friday afternoon, said that he was extremely confident and in good spirits. Expert's who are familiar with the nature of the defenses constructed north of Taitse by General Velitchko, one of Russia's foremost army engineers, believe that the Japanese are facing an almost impossible task in attacking them, especially with divided forces. It is pointed out that General kuroki will have to make a considerable detour to unite his forces. The bridge heads abutting on the north bank of the Taitse river are strongly defended by entrenched artillery, while it is under stood that there is a strong rear-guard still on the south bank to contest the Japanese advance, thus making the bridges utterly impracticable for a Japanese crossing. The river itself, therefore, becomes an important factor in the general scheme of defense. A temporary lull in the fighting would not be surprising. The men on both sides have already made almost superhuman efforts, and it is thought that there must soon be a let-up of some sort. ONLY TWO CHICKENS Have Been Stolen by 5,000 Soldiers in Two Weeks. Gainesville, Va., Sept. 3. Five thou sand regular army troops have been roaming a territory comprising 65,000 acres of Virginia farms for nearly two weeks, and the only depredation reported thus far has been the loss of two chickens. This record is a gratifying surprise even to the regular army officers, and is an example to the militiamen who are pouring into the two maneuver camps today. When the farmers of the maneuver zone were approached by army officers with a proposition to lease their lands for the maneuvers, they were given pledges that there would be no depredations. These promises have been fulfilled to the letter. Officers will be in the field during the maneuvers, charged with the duty of interviewing farmers at once and agreeing if possible with them in the amount of damage done. Maintained Innocence to Last. Rome, Sept. 3. Beside the body of Rocchiggiani, the photographer who was arrested Aug. 17 in connection with the theft from the cathdral of Ascoll of a priceless cope, who after ward committed suicide by hanging. was found a paper on which was written with a burnt match: "I am Innocent. Search for the guilty, but when he Is found he will be too powerful to be touched." Elevator Cable Broke. Chicago, Sept. 3. Two people were killed and six seriously injured by the falling of an elevator In the store of Sears, Roebuck & Co., yesterday afternoon. The cable parted, allowing the elevator with its load of ten people to fall three stories. Wright has Had Enough. Washington. Sept. 3. Carroll D.

"On the Smvanee River" which will hold fort at the Gennett Then tre, Wednesday evening, September 7th, is a Southern story but not a troupe ot darkies. lhe characters are interpreted by a company of well knnown players, among which are Laura Bennett, Ethel Dunbar, Cecelia Griffith, T. T. Rook, Earl Atkinson, W. L. Clark, Harrison Stedman, Ray Mormtcomerv and the Clover Leaf Quartette. A complete scenic envir onment for the four acts of the play is carried and theatre-goers may be assured of a good clean performance. Kyrle Bellew began bis conquering tour of tbe Pacific coast at the Broadway Theatre, Denver, on the 22d inst., opening to a $1,200 house, and a very fashionable and enthusiastic audience. So it is evident that the intelligent people of the far West have heard something about Wyrle Bellew, though he has not visited that portion of "the States" for seven years. The West will find Mr. Bellew's play this season as delightful as Bellew, and "Raffles" and Kyrle Bellew, and E. M. Holland and Clara Blandick, and tbe remainder of the strong supporting cast, sh'ould leave very delightful memories on the tour to which they have looked forward with great pleasure. Widows and Higher Education. (Chicago Record Herald.) Some interesting figures are furnished by the British registrar general. The sixty-fifth annual return, just published, shows that the proportions of Ennglish widows who remarry grows smaller and smaller year by year. If the tendency of men to take the advice of the elder Weller continues to spread as it has been spreading during the past five years the time cannot be far distant when the English woman who is left to mourn will have no chance at all to try her luck a second time. The registrar general does not. unnfortunatelv, furnish data concerning the cause of what may be termed the slump in widows, hence there is no sure means of determining whether a possibility of checking or turning the tide remains or not. It may be. however, that th? registrar general's figures concerning education and matrimony will help to a solution of the widow problem. These statements show that as illiteracy disappears divorce increases a startling fact, indeed. How is it to be successfully denied that if the higher education is insisted upon the time may come when everybody will be so highly educated as to find that a divorce is absolutely indispensable I May that dreadful day be far distant.

nial responsibilities may, as has been said, account for the diminishing chance of English widows to be led to the altar. No other theory pre sents itself, hence it should not be surprising if the widows were to be stir themselves and line up against education, higher and otherwise. Ter rific, indeed, will be the shock if they ever do it. TO ST.
