Prisoners Stories.
LONDON1, Sept. 5. The Rome corre
spondent of the Exchange Telegraph
Company says dispatches from Vienna
announce that following its success at
Lemberg the Russian center has sud
denly begun a movement northward
against the flank of the armies under
the Austran Generals Aufenberg and
Eankel, who have been successfully
operating against Lublin and Zjamohac.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele
graph Company from Rome says a
message received there from Petrograd
says that the Russians have completely
routed the Austrians near Tomaszow
and that two Generals are among the
Austrian dead.
The Times' correspondent in Petro
grad sends the following:
'Information telegraphed by the
that the victory at Lemberg is only
the beginning of the end. The retreat
of such an enormous force, reliably
estimated at eight army corps, taken
In conjunction with the rout of the
army, which was to serve as a screen
to their retreat, already spells disaster
complete and overwhelming. Informa
tion obtained by the War Office, shows
that the garrison has already been pre
paring positions at Grudek, 20 miles to
the westward, on the railway to
Przemysl.
Town Commands Eight Railroads.
"The fall of Lemberg, which is the
Junction of eight important railway
lines, renders the Russians absolutely
masters of the whole Eastern Galicia."
The correspondent adds:
"We may yet have to record the
complete disruption of the dual
monarchy's forces. The operations ex
tend over a front of 250 miles. Prob
ably 1,500.000 men were engaged."
Tho Post's correspondent at Petro
grad telegraphs that prisoners brought
to the Russian base reported that part
of the Russian forces entered Lem
berg quite in accordance with the plan
of the commander-in-chielf.
Russians Turn on Enemy.
The Austrians, according to these
reports, opened the last stage of the
week's conflict around Lemberg by a
determined attack on the Russians be
tween Kubl, Lublin and Kholm, about
120 miles north of Russian territory.
The attacks failed and the Russians as
sumed the offensive, the Austrian army
retiring southward, and received ter
rible punishment from the pursuing
Russians.
The next day the Russian army
moved forward along the whole 200
mile front to about 40 miles southeast
of Lemberg. All along the line, the
Russians attacked strongly and when
the second Austrian army, which was
posted east of Lemberg. broke and
fled, the Russians captured in the im
mediate vicinity of Lemberg another
score of guns. The forward movement
of the Russians continued without in
terruption, the Austrians having en
trenched in a strong position west of
Lemberg at Gorodsk, 18 miles back, on
which to retire when forced past Lem
berg. Victory of Great Magnitude.
Of the magnitude of the Russian vic
tory before Lemberg. there can be no
question, tho correspondent adds. The
Austrian forces amounted to no fewer
than 200.000 men, with 500 artillery
pieces. There were three complete
armv corps, the Third, Eleventh and
Twelfth and parts of the Fourteenth
and Seventh. An Austria army corps
on war footing, it is explained, is raised
to three divisions, of which the third is
made up of reserves.
By this victory, Russia has put out
of action a quarter of the total Aus
trian first line troops and captured
nearly a quarter of the Austrian ar
tillery, besides commanding all roads
leading from Galicia into Hungary. The
Galicians warmly welcomed the Rus
sian troops, according to prisoners,
who also spoke of the terrible execu
tion of Russian artillery.
An official statement from Petro
grad says:
"Concerning the operations of the
Russian army in Galicia, official re
ports say the enemy Is retreating after
desperate fighting near Halicz. leaving
450-0 dead on the field. The Russians
took 32 cannon and railway material.
"On the south. In front of Warsaw,
the Austrian attack was repulsed and
the offensive taken by the Russians."
News is received from Vienna that a
German army corps was hurriedly
transported to Galicia to aid the
Austrians against the Russian attack
before Lemberg.
RUSSIAN ADVANCE TO CONTINUE
General Staff Describes Campaign
Leading to Lemberg.
PETROGRAD (via London), Sept. 4.
. The Russian general staff issued to
day the following account of the fight
ing which led to the capture of Lem
berg. capital of Galicia:
"In the offensive against the Lublin
Kholm front the main Austrian forces
deployed on the Zavlchost. Tanoff,
Bielgoray, Zomachoff and Belz line.
The second Austrian army, composed
of the third, eleventh and twelfth
corps and five divisions of cavalry,
gathered In the region east of Lem
berg to cover this operation.
"When the Russian troops were
taking the offensive the Austrian con
centration had not been completed and
topographical considerations compelled
the enemy to reinforce the army still
more with the troops of the Seven
teenth. Thirteenth and Fourteenth
corps, thus making a total of 12 divis
ions of several brigades of the land
sturm. "Our troops in the Lonthk, Dubno
and Proskuroff districts crossed the
frontier on August 20 and marched on
Lemberg for the purpose of thwarting
the Austrian covering movement and
acting against the flank of their of
fense. They were hampered by the
numerous affluents of the Dniester
River flowing across all the routes.
Moreover, the enemy possessed on the
Dniester a scries of fortifications
destined to defend the bridges from
which they menaced the Russian left
flank and communications with Russia.
"In the period between August 27
and September 3 tho Russian left wing
advanced 220 versts i.ibout 147 miles),
fighting all the time. The bulk of the
hostile forces entrenched in powerful
positions at Kamenka and Galltch. of
fered battle and were thoroughly de
feated in a desperate contest.
"Between August 31 ur.d September
1 In one district of taa upper course
I of the Gulla Lipa alone, where the
I enemy's line was broken, the Austrians
lost 12,000 men in killed or wounded.
"The retreat or tne enemy aner ui
defeat at Lemberg assumed the charac
ter of disorderly flight and panic and
the Russians took 200 guns and tens
of thousands of prisoners. It is be
lieved that the remnant of the second
Austrian army is no longer of military
value.
"On September 2, when the Russians
were drawing up within cannon shot
of Lemberg, the surrounding forts did
not stop this advance. The same day
Lemberg was closely surrounded by
Russian troops and was captured with
great quantities of war materials. All
the buildings In town were packed
with Austrian wounded who had been
abandoned in the enemy's headlong
flight.
"Beside the political and military Im
portance of Lemberg as the center of
Galicia. its capture is important from
a strategic point of view, as it consti-
Itutes a great railway Junction, com
manding the lines leading to tne rear
of the Austrian army, which is now
halted in line with Opole, Gamostle
and Belz.
"The capture of Lemberg will enable
the Russian army to push forward with
still greater intensity."

BURTON'S ATTACK STILL ON
Senator Shows No Signs of Yielding
His Filibuster on Measnre.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. For many
hours again today Senator Burton con
tinued his attack on what he character
ized as "the climax of waste" in the
$53,000,000 rivers and harbors bill.
Showing no signs of yielding in his
filibuster against the measure, the
Ohio Senator assailed item after item.
Projects in many sections of the coun
try, he asserted, were proposed merely
to antagonize railroad competition.
"You would erect monuments of
folly," said Senator Burton, "in the
shape of locks and dams just to force
the railroads to lower rates in certain
localities, forgetting that as you force
their rates in interior sections where
there is no water competition, it is a
waste of Government money."
RAISULI REPORTED DEAD
Brigand, Pretender and Kidnaper of
American Passes In Morocco.
LONDON. Sept. 4. The Exchange
Telegraph Company's Tetuan. Morocco,
correspondent says that Raisull, the
noted Moorish brigand and pretender
to the throne of Morocco, has died in
the country between Tetuan and Tan
gier. Raisuli gained fame in 1904, when he
captured Ion Perdicaris. an American,
near Tangier and demanded a ransom
of $50,000. Theodore Roosevelt, then
President, demanded of the Sultan of
Morocco "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli
dead."
Perdicaris was released after an
American fleet made a demonstration
before Tangier.

Guard of Montana since martial law
was declared here Tuesday because of
threatened riots was attacked today
in a petitioD filed in the United States
District Court here for the release
on writs of habeas corpus of three of
the nine men arrested by state troops.
Federal Judge Bourquin Issued an

in Silver Bow County and has power
to make arrests.
Mines Worn: Steadily.
The city was quiet today. The mines
which have been operated recently
worked uninterruptedly and the miners,
whether they belonged to either fac
tion, were not molested. Militiamen
not on duty were granted permission
for the first time to move beyond the
guard lines providing two or more
ware together. Major Donohue di
rected the municipal authorities to
continue all functions of the city gov
ernment except the police department,
which is now in charge of Provost
Marshal Conley.
No new arrests were made. The active
search for "Muckie" McDonald, presi
dent of the Butte Mine Workers' Union,
was discontinued by the bringing into
the city of two auto loads of militia
men who had worked for 36 hours
south of the city.
State of Insurrection Denied.
The petition filed in the Federal
Court asking for writs of habeas cor
pus for Edward Evans, James Chap
man and D. W. Malone alleges that
Governor Stewart issued a proclama

in a state of insurrection and that the
proclamation is untrue. The peti

not committing any crime.

DANIELS LAUDS WILSON
NAVY SECRETARY SAYS PRESIDENT
SET PEOPLE FREE.
Propaganda of Fear Declared to Have
Been "Worked to Limit" in Op
position to Legislation.
BAR HARBOR, Me., Sept. 4. Declar
ing that President Wilson and the
Democratic party had kept all the
promises made to the people in the
party's platform, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels In a campaign speech here to
night added that the President had
set America free to legislate without
fear.
"Greater than the tariff law, greater
than the currency law itself, greater
than the constructive legislation of
this great Administration." said Mr.
Daniels, "looms up this fact that the
people may legislate without any
longer fearing that our business Is
going to be checked or our prosperity
destroyed. The right to enact such
laws as they conceive is best for them
has at last been restored to them."
Mr. Daniels took up the legislative
measures successfully urged by the
Administration and said "privilege" had
mobilized Its lobby against them "with
the rapidity of an European corps."
The propaganda of fear, he said, was
"worked to the limit."
"Nobody," declared Secretary Daniels,
"can say at any time that either the
President or Congress has merited
the name of quitter. On the very night
the President signed the tariff bill, he
said, 'We have only taken one step,'
and summoned the Congress to go for
ward with the next step the currency
legislation."

all-day conference with clearing-house
delegates from many large cities, the
Federal Reserve Board has announced
tonight it would proceed immediately
with the organization of the 12 reserve

In consequence of the meeting, there
will be no effort on the part of the

Abuse has been heaped upon him, he
declares, at intervals ever since and
he finds it 'impossible to live with his
wife longer. They were married
about three months ago. -

GERMANY BEARS UP
Finance and Business Stand
Strain of War.
DISCOUNT RISE SLIGHT
Condition Said in Berlin to Be Bet
ter Than That of London or Paris.
$500,000,000 Is Note Circu
lation Expansion.
BERLIN, Aug. 18. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) German
financial authorities express keen
satisfaction in the manner in which
the business and finance of the empire
has withstood the first two week's
stress of the war. Up to this time
they declare the foreign prediction that
the German financial system would
topple upon the outbreak of a great
war has been utterly confounded by
an excellent financial showing. The
financial writers insist that the situa
tion here is far better than in London
and Paris.
Discount Rise Small.
At this writing the German im
perial bank has had to raise its dis
count rate only from 4 to 6 per cent
which Is no higher than obtained
during the Balkan wars and there Is
no indication that it will have to ask
a higher rate.
There has been no unusual restric
tion of discounting operations. Al
though the pressure has been quite
without precedent the bank has been
wholly equal to the situation. Its note
circulation was expanded in the fort
night ending August 7 by the enormous
total of $500,000,000. At the same
time, however, the bank's gold stock
has Just been 'swollen by nearly $50,
000,000 through the conversion of the
two "war chests" of the government
into its coffers and the stock is now
greater than at any other time in Its
history.. The bank may add another
$125,000,000 to its note circulation be
fore reaching the legal limit.
The Stock Exchanges, of course are
closed but financial writers are satisfied
with the showing during the critical
days Just before the war broke out.
German 3 per cent loans dropped only
2.25. The two leading German bank
stocks fell comparatively little as com
pared with some abroad. The Berlin
exchange parsed over the July settle
ment with only a few suspensions of
minor Importance.
The moratorium has not yet been
resorted to in Germany except as may
apply to foreign bills drawn upon Ger
man banks by countries having a
moratorium.
AMERICAN CARGOES DUE
British Will Return Goods on Cap
tured German Ships.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. The British
government has taken steps to return
promptly to American shippers cargoes
captured aboard German steamers. Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambas
sador, delivered to Secretary Bryan
today the following note, expressing
the attitude of his government:
"In order to prevent loss to subjects
of neutral powers and to encourage
trade. His Majesty's government has
taken steps to set trm expeditiously
and without reference to prize court
as many cargoes as possible, even
though In some cases cargoes may be
liable in law to condemnation as a
prize. An executive committee with full
powers to deal with such cases has
been appointed."
Secretary Bryan expressed satisfac
tion over the arrangement made by the
British government.
BAKER WHEAT HELD TIGHT
Big Crop Harvested and Advance in
Price Not Tempting Yet.
BAKER. Or., Sept. 4. (Special.) Al
though the farmers of Baker County
are now completing the harvesting of
the largest grain crop ever produced
in this county they are scoffing at of
fers for the purchase of their wheat.
Their refusal to sell has had a tend
ency to bring brices up to those of the
Portland markets. A week ago farm
ers were selling wheat on the Baker
market at from 65 to 70 cents.
The continued rise In the Chicago
wheat pit and at Portland has stimu
lated the market so that commission
men are now offering from 86 to 90
cents and are finding few who are wil
ling to sell. Many of the larger grow
ers who see no reason to expect an
early termination of the European con
day afternoon, were dismissed upon a
sell at $1.25 or more, a bushel, in Baker
before long.
