-X.IAO YAXG. Aug. 30.?The terrific
cannonading of the Russian positions
south of Liao Yang lasted all clay yesterday
and did not cease until 7
o'clock last night. Very little damage
Tvas done. The Japanese concentrated
their fire the whole clay on the
southern and frontal positions of the
Russians.

of the Japanese was to draw a return

probability that the entire Japanese

within the next two days.

They have been acting apparently
independently in the great straggle.
The Chinese of the district are viewing
the contest stocially, manifesting
no feeling one way or the other. The
spirits of the Russian troops remain
excellent, despite the enforced retreats
of the past days. Liao Yang
itself is occupied by the Third Army
Corps.
Retreat Impossible.
ROME, Aug. 30.?A telegram from
-General Kuroki's headquarters states
that the Japanese's right wing has
advanced toward Schilikio. The teie
gram adds that if the Japanese are
able to hold their position there they
will make it impossible for General
Kuropatkin to retreat to Mukden.
Japs Driven Back.
LONDON, Aug. 30.?The Liao Yang
correspondent of the Reuter Telegram
Company wires that the Russian and
Japanese forces fought this morning.
The Japenese, he reports, had reached

CHIEF REED IS PLANNING A MOST
SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE
FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON?WATCH
FOR IT.
At the meeting of the minute men
i of the fire denartment with the regu
iars last evening arrangements were
completed for the game of ball to be
played between the lawyers and doctors
at Traction Park Thursday afternoon.
| This will be one of the greatest
games of the season and is expected to
draw one of the largest crowds. The
, parade, which will take place just before
leaving for the park, will be second
only to that of the circus coming
next week. In the parade will be the
Greater Fairmont Band, the two ball
teams in uniforms, the hose wagon,
the hook and ladder truck, the hose
reel, the minute men, and many
"other" things x?eculiar and ludicrous.
A committee to j)lace the tickets on
sale has been appointed, and this work .
will he done at once. The tickets will
sell for thirty-five cents and will pass,
the purchaser to.' into and home from
the game, and if he Is not then pleased,
it may assist him in getting a good
I supper. Tickets will be offered for
I sale at several public places or can
| be purchased of the firemen.
This game is for the benefit of tlie
fire department and deserves the patronage
of all who can possibly attend. J
Chief Reed needs the money to make
the improvements now mapped out.
and as the city is not in a position to
furnish it, he takes this means of raising
it. It is very kind of the doctors '
and lawyers to offer their services,
and is greatly appreciated by the de- "
partment and by the citizens. Dr. '
Howard is captain of the doctors and '
Tttca Jlorris of the lawyers. Every *
body purchase a ticket and prepare to r
attend. Thirty-five cents is all it 2
costs. c

this morning in his apartments in the

telegram received by Police Inspect- ^
or McCluskey a few days ago, from
the chief of police of Hamilton, On- ^

of the man, said he was wanted there ?
for grand larceny. McCauley will be (

At the Hotel Majestic, it was said
that McCauley had been occupying ^
apartments there for over a year. a
McCauley is the organizer and first e'
president of the International Mercantile

is the result of a long series of dis- a:

police are much worked up over an
editorial in St. Luke's Herald, the
organ of the Grand Council, Independent
Order of St. Luke's Industrial and
Beneficiary Organization that Is wide- m
spread among the colored people of
Virginia. Referring to the burning oE
two negroes in Georgia, the Herald
says: "

sippiized. When a negro is arrested " he
might just as well, nay. better, jjght i\
the officer who attempts to arrest him
and kill him. and get killed in return
as to be locked up and die like a rat
in a trap. It is better to die fighting.
It is less painful than to be saturated
with oil, placed upon a wood
pile, set on fire, burned to death, and
then have your bones sent by express
to the President of the United States
with the inscription 'You will never
have a chance to eat with these twa
niggers.'"
The article appeared on Saturday,
and the police declare they are already
having trouble with the negroes
on account of it. Recently several po
licemen have been shot here while arreaHnir
nomps. The noliee board
will take action against the negro edl- '
tor-, it the law provides for punishrnent
for such defiance of its agents.'
