fciru'gsles for leadership will be fought to a

Bai in seven of the thirty-five Assembly dis
tricts of New-York County. The other twenty

eporauic and hardly will result in a change of
leadership. In two of the districts the struggle
Is bitter.

There have been charges and counter charges.

Japanese Still Pressing on Liao-
Yang from South and East.

tainty prevails here regarding the situation at
L.Uo-Yung. The authorities are frankly ignorant
whether the decisive' action will be fought at
Uno-Tang or further north. \ preat battle may
now be going on. and there are many indications
that such is the case.
One of the Russian correspondents of The As
scclated Press says that the fighting so far has
be* n confined wholly to rear guard actions. The
Russian force Is now concentrated in a series of
exceedingly strong positions around Liao-Yang.
th- whole withdrawal having been In accord
ance with a prearranged plan.
The Japanese are advancing In great fore*
along both of the -roads converging" on Liao-
Tang, but it Is not known here whether the
main Russian army or a strong screen will meet
them.

Aug. 'J*.». —The Russian army from An-Ping- this
afternoon debouched upon the Liao-Yang plain.
nfter fighting a rearguard action for nearly ten
miles from An-Plng, bringing its wounded and
burying its dead on the way.
Six guns are reported to have been lost, but
a number of Japanese were captured, showing
signs of great fatigue and hardships.
The enormous army, the last of which passed
cv' on the Lano Valley at ."> o'clock this after
noon, seems to till the entire plain, from the foot
hills to the ancient walls, and Is disposed in an
orderly manner through the vast fields of Chi
nese corn. The soldiers sang as they went into
camp, despite their unbroken series of reverses.
while the baggage and transport trains, caught
in the muddy rivulets, attracted the cheery as
sistance of everybody. Nothing apparently af
fects the heartiness of the men In the ranks.
The line of wounded men. which reached the
great east gate this evening, passed silently
through the deserted street*. The litter bearer",
with their lanterns, awed the Chinese, who to
day for the first time realized »he Imminence of
a battle.
