St. Petersburg
Has Celebration

Sc. Petersburg, Dot. 9O.-There Ia
jubilation Throughout the city over the
news that General Kuropatkin has re-
sumed the offensive. and the holiday.
which began with little heart. closed
brighter. The crowds in the streets
and the Examinations in honor of the
czareviteh's names day gave q tinge of
brilhancy to an evening otherwise de-
pressing. Through constant drizzle Of
rain.
NewsbOys up to midnight raced
through the thOroughfares with even-
ing extras shouting, Great Russian
victory" and the crowds bought the
papers greedily. Groups Of men in
brilliant uniforms or in evening dress
nc the hotels and restaurants discussed
the change in the fortunes Of war; but
the people as a whole were slow To take
fire. They received the news Of the
earlier reverses stOlidly. and now ac-
cepted reports Of Russian successes and
the capture Of guns quietly, with salts
faction, but with considerable reserve.
Correspondents at the front the past
48 hours had been limiting that the
Russian army was on the eve of an
other advnaee. but it was thought here
that the troops we've too exhausted BY
more than q week Of Titantio struggle
70 engage in an immediate advance
movement. Therefore the news Of the
definite resumption Of the adance was
calculated to arouse the greater salts
faction. bat the realization Of the sig
nihcancs Of news permeates the masses
here more slowly than in American
cities. The kaleidoscope changes or
the Shaken river have been to swift
for the pOpulaos to follow, and 50 thu
better news from the front has been 81
far taken with comparative quiet II
the best informed circles, however, thii
already is accepted as true. IL is be
lieved that General Kuropatkin in
tended to signAlize the eEaFvitch's fetS
BY victory, just as Grand DUKE
Nicholas did at Plevna.
The failure OF the war office to Civ,
out dispatches is attributed TO the hOli

HEROIC ACTION SAVES THE PASS
Gallant Charge Of Left Column Wins
for Japan.

LiaOyang, Oct I7.-General Oku,
commanding the Japanese left, Is driv.
ing the Russian reserves back upon
Changtau after having frustrated their
attempt to flank him. He captured
two more guns east of the TumIn pass,
and trained them upon the enemy.
Heavy cannOnading Is heard without
interruption from the direction OF the
pass. and II Is believed here that Cen
erat Oku is following up ais success By
pursuit. Field Marshall Oyama has
ordered seven regiments Of infantry
and three columns Of cavalry to pro-
coed to the Tumin pass In order TO
enable General Oku to cover the ter.
ritory east and west during the pur.
suit.
It develops now that but for the he
rOic action Of the extreme left column
of General Oku's force. all the advan-
tages so far gained might have been
lost. The column was reduced to less
than one fifth OF Its original size, but
prevented the Russians from cOmplet
ing their thanking movement and turn
ed threatening defeat into victory.
