F5T. LOUIS, Bept. 1.—American ath
letes held th<; center of the stage today,
the fourth of tbe Louisiana Purchase
Exposition revival of the Olympic
games, and to their pluck and grit be-
tho credit for creating one world's
record and three Olympic record*.
One of the greatest races of the 1904
Olympiad was the 800-meter run.
James D. Llghtbody, of the Chicago
Athletic Association, lowered the
Olympic record by five and two-flftha
seconds, has time being 1:50. The dis
cus throw, one of the handicap events,
attracted little attention until the an
nouncers called the result of M. J.
Sheridan's first throw. It came within
a few Inches of equalling the world's
record, mude by himself, of 127 feet,
9>/4 inches. On his second throw tho
discus tried Itself, going 130 feet 9
Inches from the starting point. The
next throw was 182 feet even. The dis
cus used by Bherldan was found to be
one-eighth of an ounce overweight.
The result of the 58-pound event
proved a disappointment. Flanagan,
of the Greater New York Irish Ath
letic Association was bested by a clean
foot by Deamarte of Montreal. The
latter’s best throw was 34 feet 4 Inches,
feet 3V& Inches below Flanagan’s
Olympic record.
Michael Prtnsteln, of tho Greater
New York Irish Athletic Association,
added fltt Inches to the Olympic run
ning broad Jump record, making 24
feet 1 inch. II. L. Hillman, of the New
York Athletic Club, won the 200-meter
hurdle In the record time of 24 3-5
seconds.

They were repulsed both times. A
prisoner, subsequently taken, places
their loss at 1.450 killed uad wounded.
For one hour sfter shells were thrown
from Shulahylng Into Port Arthur. Tho
above information waa brought here
tonight by a .Chinese who speaks ex

at the police station In Port Arthur,
which place he left in the evening of
August 29. He adds that up to his de
parture no further attack had been
made by the Japanese on Palungshnn.
He confirms previous reports that the
Russians had reoccupled Itxshan with
little fighting. At 4:30 August 28, the
Japanese attacked fort No. 6 on the
northeast portion of the right flank.
This fort Is q new and strong one.
After three hours’ fierce firing, during
which they endured a cross fire from
fort No. 2, the Japanesa succeeded In
entering the fort. When the Russian*
were safely away from fort No. 0 the
Japanese flag Waved over It, several
forts concentrated their fire on It and
the Japanese were compelled to retire.
Heavy firing was heard by the Chinese
on the night of August 29.

south of Liao Yang, Field Marshall
Marquis Oyama, the commander of the
Japanese forces In the Held, promptly
marshnlled the united forces and at
dawn of August 30 a desperate at
tack upon all the Ruealan position*
waa made. The Japanese found the
Russians holding a lang chain of splen
didly fortified positions with a tre
mendous force of artillery. The Japa
nese artillery opened the way. but
these preliminary* attacks generally
failed to give an opportunity for an
open assault. Victory at IJao Yang
means tbe domination of Manchuria
and possibly the end of the autumn
campaign.

8T. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2.—The
Japanese repeated the attempt

Liao Yang during the night of August
81. again under cover of a bombard’
ment. and this attempt la believed to
have been successful. Severe fighting
may therefore be expected in the
northeast of the city. The action
the Japanese commander in throwing
a force across the river In the face of
a strong enemy Is considered to be ex
tromely rash, and the position of this
force, isolated from the main Japanese
army by a deep river, mny easily be
come desperate. A correspondent of
the Associated Pres* at Vladivostok
telegraphs that the Japanese are rely
Ing on the aid of a gunboat flotilla for

and Mukden. The gunboats, the cot’
respondent says, have not yet material

In no position to render aid to a force
on the rlgbt bank In time of need be
cause they would be unable to run the
gauntlet of the forts at Liao Yang. The
strongest forts sre situated on the
right bank, where the Russian army
now concentrated.
The lighting at Liao Yang hsa beaten
all records for desperate valor of th<
assailants nnd the invincible stubborn
ness of the defenders. The whole hli
tory of warfare tells of no such bon
bardmentn, no such carnage and n<
such persistency. Day after day the
