St. Petersburg, Sept. 7. 2 a. m.
There has ben no news from Gen.
Kuropatkln since Monday afternoon
This is attributed to the interruption
of direct communication with the
commander in chief, owing to the
transfer of the telegraph ofTlce to
Mukden, whither messages have to
be sent by courier.
Intense Anxiety Is Felt.
Tho utmost confidence prevails at
the war ofllce that the Russian army
is slowly but surely effecting the re
trofit without serious risk of being
cut off. " Nevertheless, intense anxie
ty is felt throughout the whole no
tion and this feeling is shared by the
emperor. His majesty is unwilling
at. such a juncture to absent himself
from Petcrhoff and lias countermand
ed all proposed journeys. He will
not go to Warsaw or Libau. and re
mains closeted for hours with liis
niititnrv iiilvisors. It Is believed that

Late Thursday evening the Asso
ciated Press obtained the following
statement frorum the war office:
. No telegrams whatever were recetv
1 ransrer nausea ucm.
The transfer of the telegraph of
fice to Mukden has caused delay In
the direct transmission of messages.
A Russian correspondent of the
Associated Press sent a message from
Mukden Tuesday, more than 24 hours

..rrmit nmi the censor is probably
nol aliowcn- to authorize the trans-
mimssion of this news until the com
mnnder in chief sends his report.
The correspondent points out In Mis
dispatch that the Russian forces an
followed step by step by the Japan
ese and are greatly impeded by heav
roads and floods. He adds:
It is iniposrible to say how long
the fighting will continue as me ini
tiative is in the bands of the Japan

DIVIDED OPINION AS TO KURO

RUSS TAKES PESSIMISTIC VIEW
Says the Empire May as Well Have
Its Eyes Open Now as at Later
Date. Estimate of Japan
ese was Incorrect.
St. Pofershurg, Sept. C (fi:0S p.
m.) While Insisting that Marshal
Oyama mis.-ed his main object at
l.iao Yang, most of the Russian pa
pers do not disguise their prolouuil
disappointment over the result of the
taltlu of l.lao Yang. Tiie liussky In
vulau, organ of the urmy, however, j:i
of tho opinion that Gen. Kuropatkln
both strategically and technically got
everything possible out of Lino Yang,
raying: ,
"It enabled him to cope with an
army very much superior to hlin.
Kield Marshal Oyama was compelled
lo waste several tliosaud men to
japiure a position which is of no im
portance, now that Kuropatkin has
left. It Is evident that Oyama's plans
.niscarried since he fulled to sur
round and inflict a decisive blow on
Hie Russian army."
The other view is reported by the
Huss as follows:
"The fact that Kuropatkin wn
compelled to leave l.iao Yang has
not only military but political signifi
cance. It is no use concealing the
i'act that the evacuation of Liao Yans
A'as a surprise for the Russians,

PACKERS STRIKE
RESULT OF REFERENDUM VOTE
WILL BE GIVEN TO THE
PUBLIC TODAY.
G EATEST SECRECY WED
No Official Statement Concerning the
Probable Result of the Ballot
ing Could be Obtained
by the Press.
Chlcngo, Sept. 0. Whether tho
stock yards strike Is to bo called off
or continued Indefinitely will not bo
known until tomorrow morning,,
when tho result of the referendum,
volo on the proposition begun today,
by the union sinvolved in tho dlfflcul
'y will be made public by President
Donnelly of the Hatchers' union.
The greatest secrecy Is being main
tained by the officers of the different
unions as to tho outcome of the vote
which is being taken by secret bal
lot. No official statement regarding
tho-proable result of tho balloting
could be obtained tonlgth and the re
ports of those who made a canvass
of the situation conflicted. It was
claimed by several of the striking
butcher workmen that their union
had voted to reject the proposition
offered by the allied trades conference
board. These persons asserted that
the butchers would not agree to an
unconditional surrender as exacted
by the packers and which, it is said,
was agreed to by the allied trades
conference board.. To offset these
reports, many of the. butchers de
clared that their organization had
voted to return to work on tho terms
offered by the employers.
Contrary to x.iectatioiis, a number
of unions have so far refused to vote
at all on the proposition, but It tho
general belief that these organiza
tions will finally take tiie decisive
vote. What, the reasons are lor ro-
fiiKlnir to accede to tho instructions
of the allied trades conference, Is not
known. One ol' the organizations
a-hifli bus l-pfllttell tO COIISlder tllO
question Is the live stock handlers.
According to President. Donnelly this
will have no effect on the vote. Tho
strikers will meet at 9::!0 tomorrow
when the result of the vote win be
announced.
