RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE MORE TUM1 1, Continued from Page One. ported from hcra Thursday, as the Japanese, being already in possession of Etse ahan, lt wonld be. comparatively easy' for them to capture the adjoining stronghold.

This move brings the Japanese advance guard close to' the section of Port Arthur known as the new European settlement. Japanese here expect that their army may even enter the residence and business dl.itrlct of Port Arthur, but this would not necessarily mean ths fall of the Russian stronghold. The Russian defenses are arranged with the Idea of resisting sa long as there is a man left, and the nature of their defenses suggests that the final stand will occur at the Tlger'a Tall, or Lluotl mountain fort. JAP3 ARE PREPARING FOR GREATER EFFORT Toklo Explain Lull at Port Arthur Declaive Battle Expected at Port Arthur. 'tOKIO, August ZJ.i p.

m. No tidings of a definite character from Port Arthur or Llao Tang have reached the public today. It Is understood that a lull followed the desperate fighting of the earlier half of the week at Port Arthur. The lull waa for tho purpose of allowing the tired, men to rest, arranging certain 1 things in the plan of attack and for completing preparations for pressing' the attack home heavier. The Japanese guns continue to shell the defenses of th fortress, but the majority of the forcea are not engaged.

Port Arthur is proving harder to and capture than the general public of Japan expected. 'i he puoiie, which haa been confidently awaiting the full of the fortress for the last month, Is disappointed at the delay. Much regret is expressed ut the heavy Iihshcm. but tho nation is unwavering in its grim do'termlisitlon to hammer and Harass Port Arthur till lt fall, and is prepared to pay the cost, however heavy it may be. Battle at Llao Yang.

The belief Is growing here that a great and decisive battle will be fought at Llao 'Ahg. General Kuropatkln, who had an opportunity to abandon Llao Tang, and to move the bulk of his stores and the majority of hla army from that place, evidently has chosen to remain and give battle. He haa concentrated his lorcea and lntrenchfd carefully. The country is drying up speedily after the torrential rains, and as soon as it is possible resume operations the Japanese may be counted upon to act vigorously and niritresslve ly wherever the conditions permit. Confidence Is felt here that the Japanese commander in ehlef in the Held, Field Marshal Marquis Oynma.

with his splendid united armies will outseneral General Kurojatkln and force him to give battle on at least two of his fronts anil eventually succeed In Ueteatlng him decisively.

The baron added in a statement which he maae to the press that the capture of the. fort was certain to come, not only because the Japanese planned at the very outset of the campaign to sacrifice If necessary from 40,000 to 60.000 men Its capture, but also because the whole population of Japan regards it as a "point of national honor mat ine pori snouia oe reiaxen nation into whose possession it rightfully came ten years ago."

Now we have organizations in almost' every State, but as In Indiana not the carriers belong to the organization, and the great work of the next year la to Dnng mem in ana give us a compact force with which to work." The annual report of the State association, submitted by Secretary L.

H. Donaldson, of Bluffton, this afternoon, shows that the Indiana association now has a membership of 400 carriers, and that the financial condition of the organisation i is verv satisfactory, it is expected, how ever, to raise this membership to more than 1.000 during the ensuing year. No Movement to Sidelines. As a rule the carriers expressed themselves satisfied with the present apportionment of salaries tinder thi new law fixing a maximum of $720 a year. There was no advocacy of a movement to regain privileges cut 'off by the last Congress, thouch a few expressed the belief that the advance In wages did riot more than cover the loss.

AIL however, are expecting further advances In salary, and all are demanding, the fifteen days" annual vacation. Many of the talks. In which the carriers recited experiences thev had on tlielr routes, were Intensely lnteiestinc. T. M.

i Seventh Ward Contest Thrown Baker's Victory Over Berry. The Democratic primaries last night to select delegates to the congressional and joint legislative conventions to day Jn Washington Hall were well attended in some of the South Side wards and in the First and Fifteenth wards. From the Seventh ward Saler.i D. Clark and others went into the county committee rooms last night with a contest, but it waa thrown out by the board of 'primary election commissioners on the ground that written notice had not been tiled with the inspector, Tom Uedlan. There was no other contest.

Clark asserted that the antl Harlan fellows kept tally on every man that voted and watched the kind of ticket voted. The result of the ount outside was a victory for the antl Harlan slate of 110 to 68.. When the vote was announced from the inEide the result was Just the reverse, with twenty or thirty more 'votes than Clark's set had counted. George Rubens, who was on the anti Harlan slate, was a member of the election board, and the Harlan men say that is enough to demonstrate that Clark's complaint was not well founded. Clark said Hedlan refused to allow a watcher at the count and that he shut down the wlndew so that those on the outside could not see.

In the Eleventh ward wagons were used to haul In voters. In this ward Frank P. Baker, youngest candidate for the nomination for Congress, cleaned up James. E. Berry, ex councilman.

I KVfTVftnfl Utrif A V. ill Pettljohn Is Turned Down. Few t.f the delegates, understood the embarrassment at the table on the platform surrounded by the secretaries of the congressional convention. C. Pettl john.

secretary of the county committee was to be secretary of the convention, according to an announcement given out at county committee headquarters yesterday. When the report on organisation came In the name of Pettljohn did hot appear. Instead Albert F. Zearlng was made secretary. Pettljohn was already at the table, apparently expecting the honor from the convention.

When he realized that he had been "turned down" by the powers his face clouded. He remained at the secre tary's table, however, until the convention was over, and after the convention hla friends were protesting against the way hi which the powers have been treating him. Pettljohn has been showing an inclination to resist some of the moves of the machine, and tt is supposed this caused thim to be "sot upon." 1 Shaw to Speak Here October 6V.
