General Kuropatkln Is retreating toward Mukden along three roads and therefore has three rear guards almost continuously in action—an undesirable condition for a defeated army. Japanese columns flank him on both sides, and a large Japanese force is in his rear. The- army that has advanced from the Taitse river against the Russians is pressing close to ills heels, and Kuropatkin has no choice save to accept battle whenever offered, as hid progress northward is impeded by his supplies and guns. The supply trains head his column, followed by the artillery. with infantry next and Cossacks, mounted and dismounted, guarding his Chicago, Sept. 7.—According to the best Information1 obtainable, the referendum vote of the striking employes of the stock yards; is in favor of continuing the struggle against the packers. No official announcement of t'he vote has been given out. On the ground' that but 20 per cent, of the strikers voted, i't is belksv'ed that President Donnelly, of the Butchers' Union, and the other officers of the allied trades will call another vote. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—It is announced that nearly all the Russian troops retreating from Liao Yang have reached Mukden or the immediate vicinity. General Kuropatkin has arrived in the city and is personally dirooting operation9 there. Burlington:, Vt, Sept. 7.—'The state has gone Republican by 33,000 plurality. It was a sweeping victory. As a political barometer, Vermont has never failed, the Republicans' say, and they claim that Roosevelt is as good as elected. Complete returns thismorning, with 11 small towns to be heard from, show the following figures Bell, Republican, 47,816; Porter, Democrat. 14,979. Tihe missing towns will bring Bell's plurality up to something over 33,000. Londcn, Sept. 7.—'Nothing but fragmentary news lias been obtained today from the seat of war in the far east. What has been learned indicates that the retreat toward Mukden continues and Chat a portion of the batftie-wearied and' torn forces is already in Mukdten and preparing to proceed further north. The Interborough company will pay the motormen to be employed on the subway $11.50 a day—the same sum the motormen on the elevated roads are receiving—and the hours of service will be ten hours a day, with extra pay for overtime at the same rate of 35 cents an hour. An elegant quality with double knee, comes in all sizes,and guaranteed good wearers. It is an unusually good bargain. "L" TROUBLE NOT OVER White IUrer Junction, Vt., Sept. 7.— Returns not yet complete indicate that the Republicans won a signal victory in the state election in that they held their own and elected the liend of their ticket by a plurality equal to if not greater than that returned for William W. Sticluiey when he was elected governor in 1000. Stickney, however, received the support of many gold Democrats, and the Republicans generally did not look for more than 28,000 plurality in yesterday's election. Stickney was elected four years ago by 31,282 plurality over Senter. The demands regarding wages of trainmen, guards, conductors, platform men, ticket agents, switchmen, oar Men Say There are Other Essential Birmingham, Sept. 7.—TlCD Post today reports that, in: consequence of Russian communications, the British and French governments have made strong representations to China against permitting General Ma'is troops to enter Manchuria. Ma has 50,000 well equipped soldiers on the Manehurian frontier and it has been suggested, since the Russians retreated, that he should enter info Manchurian territory, not necessarily to support Japan, but to retflUe the country for China. three rears. With the exception of Cossack horse batteries Ms guns are not in position to be turned against Marshal O.vama's troops. Every bait by the artillery imperils the guns General Ivuropatkin In risking his army to save. The Japanese gunners, therefore, experience feeble opposition in attacking the Russian rear guards, and their heavier fteldpieees are effective at a range far beyond that of the Cossack batteries. A general engagement at present would be so one sided as to give the Russians practically no chance. The Russian general's object, consequently, is to reach Mukden with as little lighting as possible. He is pushing his supply trains and guns ahead of the army as rapidly as those slow divisions of his' forces can move. The infantry is employed in movements evidently intended to postpone attack by O.vama's troops to tin- last moment. At no point are the Russians lighting, except on the defensive. New York, Sept. 7.—Although it was announced semiofficially last night that the differences between the management of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. and the Elevated Railroad employes had been amicably adjusted, there are still some questions to be settled, which tihe mien say are just as essential as1 the question of wages and hours. These demands were drafted at a meeting this morning at the Broadway Central by the union leaders, who will present them this afternoon to Vice President Bryant. Questions to be Determined i Stegmaier Brewing Co PEOPLE'S STORE, cleaners, electricians and repair gangs will bo settled nt another conference at the office of Mr. K. P.

Rome, Sept. 7.—The Yantie correspondent of a locttl newspaper reports tihat the Russian army, under General Kuropatkln, is abandoning its wounded, owing to a lack of ambulances.

Heaton Robertson, of New Haven, was nominated for governor on the first ballot at the Democratic state convention today. He received 347 votes to 181 received by Charles F. Thayer. The platform endorses Parleer and the St. Louis platform in the most hearty terms. PUSHING ON TO MUKDEN The campaign was hard fought by both of the leading parties, the Democrats bending their efforts to a reduction of the Republican majority of 31,- 000, given to William W. Stickney for governor in 11)00. The Republicans conceded a falling off from these figures owing to the probable loss of the gold Democrat vote, but a plurality of less than 23,000 for the head of the Republican ticket would have been construed as indicating a decline in Republican sentiment. Russian Retreat Made Under Disheart The train, which was composed of an engine, baggage and smoking cars, dtiy coach, diner and Pullman sleeper, was well tilled, it being estimated by the Wabash officials that there were about 500 persons on board.

General Kuropatkln Is retreating toward Mukden along three roads and therefore has three rear guards almost continuously in action—an undesirable condition for a defeated army. Japanese columns flank him on both sides, and a large Japanese force is in his rear. The- army that has advanced from the Taitse river against the Russians is pressing close to ills heels, and Kuropatkin has no choice save to accept battle whenever offered, as hid progress northward is impeded by his supplies and guns. The supply trains head his column, followed by the artillery. with infantry next and Cossacks, mounted and dismounted, guarding his Chicago, Sept. 7.—According to the best Information1 obtainable, the referendum vote of the striking employes of the stock yards; is in favor of continuing the struggle against the packers. No official announcement of t'he vote has been given out. On the ground' that but 20 per cent, of the strikers voted, i't is belksv'ed that President Donnelly, of the Butchers' Union, and the other officers of the allied trades will call another vote. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—It is announced that nearly all the Russian troops retreating from Liao Yang have reached Mukden or the immediate vicinity. General Kuropatkin has arrived in the city and is personally dirooting operation9 there. Burlington:, Vt, Sept. 7.—'The state has gone Republican by 33,000 plurality. It was a sweeping victory. As a political barometer, Vermont has never failed, the Republicans' say, and they claim that Roosevelt is as good as elected. Complete returns thismorning, with 11 small towns to be heard from, show the following figures Bell, Republican, 47,816; Porter, Democrat. 14,979. Tihe missing towns will bring Bell's plurality up to something over 33,000. Londcn, Sept. 7.—'Nothing but fragmentary news lias been obtained today from the seat of war in the far east. What has been learned indicates that the retreat toward Mukden continues and Chat a portion of the batftie-wearied and' torn forces is already in Mukdten and preparing to proceed further north. The Interborough company will pay the motormen to be employed on the subway $11.50 a day—the same sum the motormen on the elevated roads are receiving—and the hours of service will be ten hours a day, with extra pay for overtime at the same rate of 35 cents an hour. An elegant quality with double knee, comes in all sizes,and guaranteed good wearers. It is an unusually good bargain. "L" TROUBLE NOT OVER White IUrer Junction, Vt., Sept. 7.— Returns not yet complete indicate that the Republicans won a signal victory in the state election in that they held their own and elected the liend of their ticket by a plurality equal to if not greater than that returned for William W. Sticluiey when he was elected governor in 1000. Stickney, however, received the support of many gold Democrats, and the Republicans generally did not look for more than 28,000 plurality in yesterday's election. Stickney was elected four years ago by 31,282 plurality over Senter. The demands regarding wages of trainmen, guards, conductors, platform men, ticket agents, switchmen, oar Men Say There are Other Essential Birmingham, Sept. 7.—TlCD Post today reports that, in: consequence of Russian communications, the British and French governments have made strong representations to China against permitting General Ma'is troops to enter Manchuria. Ma has 50,000 well equipped soldiers on the Manehurian frontier and it has been suggested, since the Russians retreated, that he should enter info Manchurian territory, not necessarily to support Japan, but to retflUe the country for China. three rears. With the exception of Cossack horse batteries Ms guns are not in position to be turned against Marshal O.vama's troops. Every bait by the artillery imperils the guns General Ivuropatkin In risking his army to save. The Japanese gunners, therefore, experience feeble opposition in attacking the Russian rear guards, and their heavier fteldpieees are effective at a range far beyond that of the Cossack batteries. A general engagement at present would be so one sided as to give the Russians practically no chance. The Russian general's object, consequently, is to reach Mukden with as little lighting as possible. He is pushing his supply trains and guns ahead of the army as rapidly as those slow divisions of his' forces can move. The infantry is employed in movements evidently intended to postpone attack by O.vama's troops to tin- last moment. At no point are the Russians lighting, except on the defensive. New York, Sept. 7.—Although it was announced semiofficially last night that the differences between the management of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. and the Elevated Railroad employes had been amicably adjusted, there are still some questions to be settled, which tihe mien say are just as essential as1 the question of wages and hours. These demands were drafted at a meeting this morning at the Broadway Central by the union leaders, who will present them this afternoon to Vice President Bryant. Questions to be Determined i Stegmaier Brewing Co PEOPLE'S STORE, cleaners, electricians and repair gangs will bo settled nt another conference at the office of Mr. K. P.

Heaton Robertson, of New Haven, was nominated for governor on the first ballot at the Democratic state convention today. He received 347 votes to 181 received by Charles F. Thayer. The platform endorses Parleer and the St. Louis platform in the most hearty terms. PUSHING ON TO MUKDEN The campaign was hard fought by both of the leading parties, the Democrats bending their efforts to a reduction of the Republican majority of 31,- 000, given to William W. Stickney for governor in 11)00. The Republicans conceded a falling off from these figures owing to the probable loss of the gold Democrat vote, but a plurality of less than 23,000 for the head of the Republican ticket would have been construed as indicating a decline in Republican sentiment. Russian Retreat Made Under Disheart The train, which was composed of an engine, baggage and smoking cars, dtiy coach, diner and Pullman sleeper, was well tilled, it being estimated by the Wabash officials that there were about 500 persons on board.
