VISITOR FROM OVER THE SEA Earl of Euston, Supreme Grand Mas ter of the Great Prory of Eng- . land, Is Given a Reception Replete With Ceremonial. SAN FRANCiSCO, Sept. 5. The local committee of the Knights Templar to jiight checked off its entire li6t of vjslting commanderies, the last to arrive 'being St. Aldamer, of Missouri, and Oriental, of Ohio. A few California commanderies have yet to report, and they are sched uled to be here In. the morning in ample time for the great parade tomorrow. Today, was one of great activity for the reception committees and the Sir Knights detailed for escort duty. Train after train Drought tired but cheerful Templars and their ladles, and the uniformed visit ors were escorted to their various quar ters to the accompaniment of patriotic music Among the arrivals today was Meliita No. 8, Oregon. A notable event was the coming of the 'Right Honorable the Earl of Euston, the most eminent and supreme grand master of the Great Priory of England and "Wales and of the dependencies of the British Crown. "When the Earl's special train arrived a committee representing the grand master and California Com mandery. followed by the citizens com mittee, filed aboard the car, and were re ceived by the distinguished visitor in the front section of his car. The reception of this delegation from across the sea was more replete with cere monial than that of any other of the visitors to the conclave. The contest for the next Triennial Con clave is already on in earnest, the Sir Knights from Chicago and New Tork hav ing launched their canvasses in behalf of their respective cities. This being Labor day, the Knights Tem plar before noon witnessed the annual parade of workingmen. Thousands of men were in line, nearly all attired in at tractive uniforms, and many women workers either marched' in the ranks or rode on picturesque floats. Early In the day special trains bearing Eastern Knights Templar began to ar rive, including the grand commanderies of Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri and Min nesota, and large delegations from Kan sas and Utah. j A ladies' reception, under the. auspices of California Commandery, was given at the Mechanics' Pavilion, and at all head quarters open house was kept.

The feeling of national grief and dis appointment caused by General Kuro patkin's unsuccessful attempt to make a stand at Liao Yang; deep and bitter as it Is. is somewhat tempered by the develop ment of the fact that the Russian commander-in-chief had removed the bulk of his stores northward before the battle, leaving a mere shell at Liao Tang, and that he succeeded in extricating his army, especially General Stakelberg's corps, from the clutches of the Japanese. While admitting that' Kuropatkln sus tained a severe reverse, the "War Office considers that the failure of Field Mar shal Oyama to hold and cut off Kuropat kln is a strategic defeat for Oyama. The Russian military authorities figure that Oyama had a numerical superiority of 60,000 men in the operations against Ku ropatkln. According to the military authorities, all ICuronatkin's hones anrl nl.ina tni rrts.n.. ,were dashed by the wonderful celerity I 3Tltfr r&lcfr .OxfLma's right pushed- jjotfn, ward after crossing the Taitz River. Here Kuropatkin's information evidently was faulty in believing that he had before him the whole of the Japanese forces "which had crossed over to tho right bank. He had already completed a preliminary bom bardment of KurokTs force Friday, and was about to strike him when he discov ered that another Japanese column had crossed the river farther upstream, and had worked, around still farther north ward. The latter column was marching with great rapiidty westward to cut the railroad and close the door on Russian retreat to Mukden. Just at this point there is a hiatus in the Teports. Whether Kuropatkln actually attempted to deliver a oiow against jvuroKX is not clear. At all events, if he did he was compelled to desist upon the discovery of the northerly Japanese column. The latter took him by surprise. General Orloff's division which suffered so severely had Just arrived from Euro pean Russia, Although this division was thrown into confusion and lost a fright ful number of men, the temporary check It was able to give the Japanese probably saved the railroad for Kuropatkln. In the meantime. Kurokl, fried from Kuropat kln, marched hastily westward to inter cept General Stakelberg, who was crossing the river from the left bank. It was then that Kuropatkin thought Stakelberg's corps was lost and sp reported to the War Office. But Kuroki was too late. Stakel berg not only succeeded in getting his corps across, but marched at high speed 30 miles to Ycntai, actually arriving in time to come to the support of hard pressed Orloft The Emperor has undergone a great strain during the past week. Like his subjects, the Emperor has taken Kuro patkin's defeat greatly to heart, but the preservation of the army organization has been a great relief, and his answer to the battle of Liao Yang will be the mobiliza tion of two more army corps. So far as can be learned, the Emperor shows no disposition to blame Kuropatkin. The -wives and families of many of the lower classes of the people spend most of their time in tho churches, praying that their loved ones may be spared. The accounts of the battle published in the newspapers here are very incomplete. Some of the papers evidently havo not yet awakened to the full force of the disas ter, but without exception they try to put a brave face on the situation. Thero is not the slightest suggestion of yielding. The cry of tho papers is that, the war must go on until Russia is victorious, if not this year, then next year. SHELLS BURST ON ALL SIDES Japanese Poured in Terrific Fire in Fighting About Liao Yang. YENTAI, Sunday, Sept 4. (Delayed in transmission.) The Russians evacu ated their positions around Liao Yang during the night of September 3, cross ing the Taitz River and burning the bridges behind them. In the meantime a strong force was holding General Kuroki back from KcntaL During the combined attack on Liao Yang, which commenced August 30, by Gen eral Oku attacking from the southeast and General Nodzu from the south west, the shell tire was terrific, in one instance 56 shells oursting at the same time. The Japanese made a fine infantry attack. They succeeded in reaching the Russian trenches, but were repulsed with heavy loss. The Japanese shrap nel, as a rule, burst too high. On the whole, the day went well for the Rus sians. The Japanese were driven from the villages along the railroad. On August 31 the shelling commenced at daylight from all sides, but the Russian infantry pressed forward. Late that afternoon the news cdme that Kuroki was threatening the railroad at Yental and the Russians bommenced to retire, enabling the Japanese to bring up two batteries and enfilade the Rus sian force along1 the railroad. During the night the transports moved into Liao Yang. On September 1 thcRussians retreat ed from their main position, which formed a circle around the city, while transports crossed the river. At 2 o'clock the Japanese succeeded in plac ing two guns in ppsition and shelled the railroad station, resulting In many casualties. At the same time, the Jap anese infantry attacked the inner Rus sian position, but were repulsed. In tho evening, the Japanese brought up heavy guns and used Shimose powder to shell the Russian town. The Rus sians held the position until the night of September 3, when they retired across the river. On September 2 a strong Russian force was moved oast from Yental to hold Kuroki back. Kuroki attacked it, and was repulsed, being driven from his positions on the left Tho Japanese poured a terrific shrapnel Are, at one spot annihilating two Russian companies. In the evening the Russian artillery, which had been reinforced, shelled the Japanese position, and Kuroki pushed his right forward and got within 12 miles orthe railroad at Yental.
