SLAVS YET IN PERIL
ill Not Be Out of the Woods
for Several Days.
EXPERTS DISCUSS SITUATION
English Critics Do Not Believe Kuro
patkin Will Make Another Such
Attempt to Stem Japanese
. Advance as at Llao Yang.
LONDON, Sept 6. The race of General
Kuro patkin for Mukden enthralls the
British press and public, and military
and other critics scarcely dare venture
a brief surmise as to its result The best
opinion inclines to the belief that Kuro
patkln will get through with a respect
able remnant of his great army, thus rob
bing the Japanese of the complete fruits
of their victory, but It is realized that
the Russians will not be out of the woods
for several days.
The latest report is that General Kuro
patkin is once more In danger of being
cut off, and it is believed here to be likely
that this report will be repeated several
times before the issue of the sanguinary
struggle is decided.
English military critics base such opin
ions as they have upon the immense topo
graphic difficulties General Kurokl-must
overcome before intercepting Kuropatkin,
who, they hold, has shown ability to tako
advantage of every phase in the strategy
of retreat If Kurokl now succeeds, after
failing In the initial attempt, he will have
accomplished, In English eyes, an almost
superhuman achievement
Here it is almost taken for granted
that a Japanese occupation of Mukden
must quickly ensue. No serious English
critic supposes that Kuropatkin will
dream of making such another attempt
to stem the Japanese advance as he did
at Llao Yang. If the Russians can reach
Harbin they will, according to English
opinion, be lucky.
General praise Is again accorded the
Russian commander for his temporary
extraction, and to the Russian troops fort
their splendid discipline in aeieat. xney
say if the genius of Kuropatkin and the
morale of his men had not been so strik
ingly brought out in 'the recent dis
patches, there would be scarcely an . Eng
lish paper today that would not declare
tho fate of General Kuropatkln's entire
force already scaled.
Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning Post,
points out that if General Kuropatkin en
deavored to retreat In single column his
transport and force would be so large
that his first army corps would have been
marching three days before the second
could start to follow It The railroad is
of littlo use to him, Mr. Wilkinson as
serts, and he says Kuropatkin must be
retreating in a series of parallel columns,
each not larger than one army corps, and
behind these the rear guard.
"If Kuropatkin can move his army
over the 30 miles that separate Yental
and Mukden," Mr. Wilson says, "he will
break the record for such performances.
The Japanese columns will have little
difficulty in coming up with his rear
guard, and engaging it whenever they
please."
The Standard says: "For the first time
in centuries, Europe has gone down
before Asia, and Oriental troops have
vanquished, in fair fighting, a Western
army."
Yet the paper goes on to reiterate that
the crowning triumph for the moment
is denied the Japanese, though Kuropat
kin, despite his "extraordinary achieve
ment" is still exposed to. disaster.
The Dall Telegraph, after "declaring that
Kuropatkln's operations and the defense
of Port Arthur "stand out as two fine
achievements which have done the most
to maintain the prestige of Russian arms
throughout a campaign which otherwise
has formed a story of unfathomed in
competence and uninterrupted disaster,"
adds that the critical moment of the
retreat is only likely to be reached when
General Kuropatkin arrives at the Hun
River, some miles south of Mukden.
"Once across this serious obstacle, the
Russian forces will be in sufficient safety,
though the passage of the river may be
made a terribly expensive operation. If
the Russian army gets to Mukden in
any considerable force, Japan will have
reached the limit of her advantages, and
although we are convinced she will main
tain what she has conquered, she will
have to face the utmost test In a defensive
struggle before her truce of exhaustion
is forced upon the combatants."
TROOPS EVEN USED STONES.
Russians Could Not Get Ammunition
Fast Enough at Llao Yang.
YENTAI, Sept 3. (Delayed by Censor
until Sept 5.) A Russian correspondent
of the Associated Press who has arrived
here from Llao Yang gives some details
of the final assaults on that place. He
says:
"At the time 6f tho Japanese bombard
ment of the railway station tho ambu
lances were In the rear of the .station,
from which it was impossible to move
them. A shrapnel shell which burst over
the station wounded two nurses, one of
whom has since died.
"The hottest fighting was on August 30
and 31, when the repeated assaults of tho
enemy were all repulsed. Ammunition
could not be brought quickly enough, and
the men at times actually stoned their
assailants.
"Many companies had all of their offi
cers killed or wounded, and the men
fought under noncommissioned officers.
"Many of the Japanese wounded , fell
into the Russian trenches and could not
possibly be removed when tho retreat
commenced and had to be abandoned.
Others more unfortunate fell between the
lines, and we could not bring them in.
The Japanese could not remove them, and
they lay most of the day and night ex
posed In the line of fire.
"There was a lull in the fighting on Au
gust 3L General Maraozovsky, who was
on the firing line the whole time, sat
down with a Cossack picket In the shelter
of the trees for j. cup- of tea and a biscuit
The Japanese artillery suddenly swept the
woods with their fire, and a shell burst
wounding the General In the leg and
tearing off his orderly's arm.
URGES RUSSIA TAKE ACTION.
United States Desires Decision on
What Is Contraband Goods.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept 5. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorft is being pressed by
Ambassador McCormick for an answer to
the representations of the United States
in regard to the cargoes of the Portland &
Asiatic line steamer Arabia, and the Brit
ish steamer Calchas, both captured by
the Vladivostok squadron, the Calchas,
while bound from Puget Sound for Japan.
It is understood that the United States
now goes to the extent of asking for
the release of the cargoes.
The Foreign Office, however, is unable
to give a definite response to the rep
resentations made pending the decision
of the commission which is examining the
question of contraband of war. The
committee is not making much progress,
owing to the position taken by Grand
Duke Alexander Mlkhailovlch, head of the
Department of Mercantile Marine, and
brother-ln-lawof the Emperor and Grand
Duke Alexis, the High Admiral and uncle
of His Majesty, who are standing out
against the American and British view
of foodstuffs as conditional contraband,
on the cround that if the contention is al-
lowed it would be idle- to attempt to stop
contraband bound for Japan, as every
pound of foodstuff, etc, which does not
come under tho head of absolute contra
band, would be consigned to private firms
or persons in Japan, or else bo sent to an
Intermediary port for trans-shipment
Count Lamsdorff and Prpfessor de Mar
tens, professor of international law of the
University of St Petersburg, who is pres
ident of the commission, are trying to
overcome the objection of the Grand Duke.
The indications now point to considerable
delay in the settlement of the question.
BRITAIN WILL SAY NOTHING.
Still She Takes Lively Interest in
Part Japan Is Taking in Corea.
LONDON, Sept 5. No official represent
ation will be made by the British govern
ment in regard to the Japanese Co re an
agreement the text of which was cabled
to the Associated Pres"s from Tokio last
night but the authorities are taking a
lively interest in the extent of the inter
vention of-Japan In the affairs of the her
mit kingdom. Under the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, both powers agreed to respect
the Independence and Integrity of Corea,
and the agreement between Japan and
Corea is regarded as an Infringement of
Corean independence But it had been ex
pected that if Japan were successful In
the war, she would establish a protector
ate over Corea.
Tho Russian Embassy pointed out that
at the beginning of the war the Russian
government declared It would not regard
the acts of Japan in Corea as binding
agreements, and, therefore, they would
not receive the recognition of the Russian
government a. fact which. It is stated In
Japanese diplomatic circles, does not con
cern Japan.
Crews Will Remain in China.
SHANGHAI, Sept 5. The crews of the
Russian cruiser Askold and the torpedo
boat destroyer Grozovol, which took ref
uge here after the naval battle off Port
Arthur of August 10, and which subse
quently were dismantled, will remain in
China until the. close of the war. They
will be divided and sent to Tientsin, Che
foo, Hankow, Shanghai and Foo Chow,
the treaty ports where there are Russian
Consulates.
It has now been learned that the Askold
had an unusual supply of ammunition on
board until she came into thl3 port This
amounted to ISO rounds for each of her
large guns, and a plentiful supply for her
small guns.
Odessa Corps to the Front.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 5. The new
mobilization decided upon is expected to
be announced in the latter part of this
week. It will include the eighth army
corps, stationed at Odessa. The Emperor
today Inspected the battleship Orel and
the cruiser Oleg of the Baltic fleet which
is now ready to sail.
'VARSITY HOT EMBARRASSED
Great Catholic Work Will Not Suffer
as Result of Waggaman Failure.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5. Dr. Stafford.
rector of St Patrick's Church, tonight in
speaking of the condition of the Catholic
University in view of the Waggaman
affair, said there might be for a time a
shrinkage in the funds in consequence of
the Waggaman trouble, and perhaps a
temporary .suspension of Interests; but
admitting all that, at the next meeting
of tho university board It could safely
and truly be said there would not only
be money enough to meet the current
cxnenses of the university, but some
thing left over for a sinking fund, and
that every dollar of trust money would
be Invested in first-class securities. Dr.
Stafford further said that in this matter
he was speaking with authority.

PICNICS IN MANY CITIES
Thomas E. Watson Is One of the
Speakers at Kansas City, and
Says Present System Should
Be Reformed.
KANSAS CITY. Sept 5. Thomas E.
Watson, Populist candidate for President
of the United States, was the principal
speaker 3it a Labor Day picnic here to
day. Preyious to the speechmaklng 10,-
000 workmen passed in parade through
the downtown streets.
Mr. Watson began by announcing that
he was 47 years old today. He said in
part:
"What is the labor question? In plain
English, it is this: The workmen In
every field of Industry, no matter what
that may be, the workman whose toll
produces the vast annual Increase In the
Nation's wealth, ask why It is that the
men who produce the most of this wealth
should enjoy the least of It, while the
men whose toil produces the least of It
should, by some contrivances of law and
of business, enjoy the most of It In other
words, the man who makes It all, thinks
he ought to have a fair share of that
which he makes.
"They tell us that the condition of labor
Is now vastly Improved. That Is true.
Many a workman now enjoys In his cot
tage conveniences of life which a king
could not command some hundreds
or years ago. It would be " a
strange thing, indeed, if civilization
could entirely separate itself from
those upon whose shoulders It Is
supported; but the man who can deny
that the working people of this country
are now suffering from unjust conditions
is a very bold man.
The laborer has a right to complalrr
that too much of the weight of taxation
falls upon him the poorer man when
the greater weight of the burden should
be borne by the richer man, who is more
ablo to bear It, and who enjoys td' a
greater extent tho benefits of government.
"Labor .has just cause to complain that
the hours of work are too long.
"The laborer has just cause of com
plaint because children who are too young
for the confinement and tho toil are kept
at work in unhealthy and exhausting em
ployment
"Labor has a right to demand that the
life of tho workman should be held more
sacred than the machine he works with.
and therefore, every possible safety ap
pliance should be adopted for his benefit
I should be glad to see the Introduction
Into this country of the German system
of old-age pensions.
"If the earth Is only a battlefield. In
which the Creator Intends that the strong
battalion shall always trample down the
weak, then the present system Is all right;
that is just what occurs; but if the earth
was Intended by our Common Father as
the home of his children, and If it was
the Divine purpose that each of these
children should find good, raiment and
shelter In return for labor, then our
present sistem needs reform."
Generally Observed In New York.
