New York, Sept. 15.—The heaviest rain storm of the season descended npon New York last night and early this morning. It was accompanied by a gale that blew at the rate of 80 miles an hour. The wind shook large houses' and was accompanied by thunder and lightning. In every section of the city property was damaged, either by lightning or water. The telegraph companies report that communication by wire was badly crippled by the storm. St. Petersburg, Sept. 15.— General Kuropatkln's official report of the battle of Liaoyang comes as a considerable relief, setting at rest alarmist stories of thS loss of guns, the cutting off of divisions and the death or capture of prominent commanders which have been freely circulating here. The report, which is a very long one, enters at considerable detail Into the various phases of the battle and entirely bears out the declaration of the newspapers at the time that General Orloff's failure to hold the vital position at the Yentai mines was responsible for the breaking down of the whole of General Kuropatkln's plan of battle and turned a potential victory into defeat. The manner in which the retreat was carried' out in the face of the terrible condition of the country and the determined pressure of the Japanese armies does much to restore General Kuropatkln's prestige in military circles. Saratoga, Sept. 15.—The delegates to the Republican state convention were late in arriving at the convention hall this morning, and it was after 11 o'clock when Chairman Fassett called the body to order.

Mr. Malby, after a brief reference to the birth of the Republican party and its achievements during the fifty years of its existence, discussed at some length the progress of the state of New York in the past ten years in population, industries and finance and the increased responsibilities of the state government which this development had brought.

It is shown that the retirement from Liuoyang to the north bank of the Taitse river was carried out in good order and with celerity under cover ot night on Aug. 31 when it had become evident that General Ktiroki was making a determined drive at the Russian communications north of Liuoyang. ™Prepared  under GERMAN LAWS. 1* Excellent for Best Flour Best Groceries Best Shoes At Lowest Prices r INFLUENZA,  Rheumatism, Neuralgia, etc. OR.

It has been the policy of the Republican piirtj* to Increase the.state income from indirect sources, and for this purpose the Cflri'oration-and collateral inheritance tax laws were formed and passed by leading Republicans. VP to 1893 It was notorious that these laws were not being enforced by the Democratic state administration then In power. Many corporations were not assessed at all, while many more were only party so. The whole number of companies and corporations taxed In 1893 was only 2,0.19. while In 190:5 there were taxed 8.810. or an Increase of over 400 per cent In ten years. The amount paid by them in taxes in 1893 was ?l,tWS.0n0, while in 1904 there Was collected $6,D108.000, or about $5,-00.000 more than had been collected Just ten years before under n Democratic administration.
