Simultaneously with General Kuro- patkin's announcement to his army that the time had come for a forward movement, there comes news that the Russians have captured Bentsiaputze. one Of the strategical points held by the Japanese. The event did not pre- cipitate a severe engagement though the Japanese are reported to have suffered considerable loss. the turning of their position having exposed them to a se- were fire.
 In his address to his army, General kuropatkin asserts that the Russians have q force numerically superior to that of the Japanese and he predicts a telling victory for his soldiers. The retirement of the Japanese on their po- sition at Liao Yang is construed as evidencing the desire of Field Marshal -Oyama to draw the Russians into an attack upon a strong defensive posi- tion. The dry weather is favorable to military operations.

KURoPATKIN's ADDRESS
The lnflexiblc Purpose of the Russians
 to Conquer the Japanese.


 St. Petersburg, Oct 9.-The following is the text of the order of the day is sued by General Kuropatkin, dated Oct. 2: Moro than seven months ago the enemy treacherously fell upon us at Port Arthur before war had been de- clared. Since then, by land and sea, the Russian troops have performed many heroic deeds, of which the fath- erland may justly be proud. The en- eny, however, not only has not been overthrown, but in his arrogance, con tinues to dream of a complete victory.
 'The troops of the Manchurian army. though in unYarying good spirits, have hitherto not been numerically strong enough to defeat the Japanese army. Much time is necessary for the over- coming of all difficulties and the strengthening of an active army so as to enable it to accomplish with com Dlete success the arduous but honora- ble task imposed upon it. It is for this reason, in spite of the repeated repulse of the Japanese attacks upon our posi- tions at TatchekiaO, Laindsian and Liao Yang that did not consider that the time had arrived to take advan- tage of these successes and begin a forward movement, and I therefore gave the order to retreat

Register.

Fl Paso, Tex, Oct. 9.-tspeciai.)- Three boy hunters today found the de- composed remains of w. B. McLachlen in the mountains, eight miles north of town. A bullet wound in the head and a revolver close at hand indicated suicide and the coroner so decided.
 McLachlen disappeared Sept. IS. At the time of his disappearance he was clerk at the Angelus hotel, but had been prominent and wealthy. Finan- cial and domestic troubles caused him to take his own life.
 There is a man in Phoenix who knew well. Deputy Sheriff James Gray was a former schoolmate of his in a little town of Iowa. McLachlen was a young man of fine character and of good family. At the time of his the cause of it was mystery. He had recently been mar ried and there seemed no reason why he-should absent himself.
