dept. 9. The linal day of the nianeu
'vers was begun at midnight and wcr
j brought to a close by Gen. Corbin ai
y o'clock this morning
At that time
Gen. llcll with tho brown army ha
advanced across Stone Bridge, push
ing Gen. Grant back and also ha
swung a large part of his force fron
the left wing to the entire rignt flan,
of Gen. Grant and put them acros
Lull Run at Sudley Springs. Th
maneuvering on both sides was pro
nounced of the highest order. Tin
spectacular feature of tho morning,
work was the battle of Stone lirldgi .
Gen. Grant had a strong line of de
fenso on the cast side of the stream
consisting ot Prices brigade including
two battlaions of the Alabama and an
other in thu rear and a detachment
of engineerrs. The brown force which
had approached the bridge consisted
of Harry and Kcgans brigade. The al-
(n-k was made by the Second Massa
chusetts and the Twelfth New ork.
They wore driven buck twice with
great loss after advancing under
heavy Hie. Jim as they cany; up for
the third time, the ninth regulars
started in fording the stream below
the bridge and came upon the rear
f tlio blue force. This movement was
executed so cleverly mat uiu muc
force was not aware ol their danger
until tho infantry was within 2't yards
of them. The umpires ruled out all
of the blue force at this place as
cither killed or captured. Previous to
this, the brownH had brought up two
machine guns within range of til.;
rifle fire of the blues. As this move
ment was not covered by any fire the
guns were ruled out of action.
In the meantime, tho brown force
w hich had crossed Hull Run at Sudley
had made lis way down on the blue
side. A blue line was formed back of
the bridge and was being pushed hani

Progroso, Yucatan, Sept. . A fire
broke out here at an early hour yes
terday and fanned by a strong gulf
breeze, raged unchecked all day and
did not yield to the efforts of the vol
unteer firemen, whose apparatus was
wholly Inadequate to cope with u con
(lagration of such magnitude. The

business houses, which, for the most
!art, were two story structures oc
cupied by firms engaged in the gen
ral merchandise business.
The territory willed out by the fire
consists of tho square two blocks
outh of the water front and facing
ii one of ('be principal plazas, direct
y opposite tho custom house.
The origin of til- fire is unknown,
'nit it Is thought to have started In

FROZEN BOQUET
FOR STRIKERS
SECRETARY OF ALLIED TRADES
OFFERS COLD COMFORT TO
CHICAGO EUTCHERS.
SAYS IHE PACKERS HAD A LESSON
Before Stock Handlers Are Put on
They Will Have to Sign an Ad
mission That They Return to
Work as Individuals.
Chicago, Sept. 9. Over COO live
stock strikers appeared at tho office
of Manager Skinner of tho Union
Stock Yards and Transit company to
day to apply for their old positions.
The manager had previously announc
ed that he would employ all old men
needed.
Members of other unions were not
so much in evidence when work was
begun at the packing houso today.
Most of the men did not know thai
the strike was off.
None of the stock handlers were
taken back, being Informed that they
would !o sent for when needed. It is
understood that before going to work,
they will bo required to sign an agree'
ment setting forth that they return as
individuals and not n3 an organization.
Uuslness Agent Golden of the
teamsters said that the teamsters will
go back to work as an organization or
not at all.
The following statement was issued
by James Tracy, secretary of tho al
lied trades conferences: "The strike
was one of th most remarkable thai
has ever occurred in the United
States. It was remarkable for the ab
sence of disorder, although fifty thous
and men and women were involved.
It. proved that labor organizations are
law abiding bodies and their members
arc engaged in a peaceful effort to
uplift tho masses. It is remarkable
"for tho fact, even attested bv the po-
such a struggle, the employers will
be ready l I real with the unions in
the future on an equitable basis."

FIERCE AS BATTLES OF CIVIL WAR
'
Japanese Failed to Follow Up Their
Victory and Allowed the De
feated Russian Army
To Withdraw.
Mukden, Sept. 7, via Pekln, Sept.
9. The correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press who has Just returned
to Mukden Willi the KtiMsInn reiu
guard, after having accompanied the
ar:ny the whole time since tho ha',
tlo of Liao Yang, says tho losses on
both sides were enormous.
A a moderate estimate ho plaeea
them at r.n.ooo. Ho confirms the re
ports that the fighting nt Lino Yang
recalled in fierceness the sanguinary
battles of the American civil war.
Hen. Kuropatkin's flank movement
cast of tho Husslan position precipi
tated the retreat from I.ino Yang.
When the rtuiisinns left I.luo Yang,
tho town was strewn woth corpses
of the hlain. The Japanese shell
lire continued until September 4,
when the bridges over the Taltso
river were destroyed. The Russians
admit that, their positions at Lino
Yang were too extended for their
army to 'hold. The greater portion
of tho Russian forces crossed the
Tallso during the night of September
2 and engaged Con. Kurokl with two
"orps. Tho fight ing on the first da.
was -favorable to the Rufslans hut
'he conditions changed at night. The
Russian infantry suffered heavily

began to retreat nt midnight Septem

from Yental on the morning of Sep

'I ho Russian" unshod out two corps
apt! much artillery to protect their

The condition of 'he road render
nd the retreat slow and the troon3
in I horses were, tired out. The .!a
nnnese seemed to lack enterprise and
fulled to recognize the sorlousno-'s
of the situation of the Russians or
the morale of thetr troons having
been severely tried.
A Japanese army of 40,0(10 men
Is reported to be west of Mukden,
and It Is considered likely. In view
