Mukden, Oct. IA. 3:45 p. m.-The
fighting has ragged to-day with the
same bitterness as on the previous
days of the engagement, and the re-
suit is still in the balance. The losses
on both sides are enormous, that Of
the Russians being $4,000.
Wounded soldiers are being brought
in from all directions. The roads are
crowded with long trains of wagons,
baggage and transport wagons, as well
as ambulances, being pressed into serv-
ice, even Chinese two-wheeled carts
filing the mandate of the military.
Men afoot are limping in. using their
guns as crutches, the less severely
wounded supporting their comrades,
after first aid dressing on the firing
line. Even across the fields, you meet
them, taking the shortest and straight
est road for help and shelter.
1t is the most pitiful feature of the
bloody drama being enacted at the
front, when, stiffening with wounds,
pain-racked bodies sink to the road
side, after the support of the danger
and glory of the active fight have been
withdrawn.
In the distance the sounds of battle
are still plainly heard. The rain has
ceased and the sun is shining serenely.

Route Was Largely Attended.
Messrs. Davis, Hill, Bailey, Dam
ieI, Whyte and McGraw Speak
During the Day.
Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct 14.-Four
days of continuous speech-making is
beginning to tell on the vocal powers
of Henry G.. Davis, Democratic vice
presidential candidate. Aside from
hoarseness, however, Mr.. Davis seems
as fit as when he began his continuous
performance tour of his own state.
II am sure that if Alton b. Parker
shall be elected President, he will en-
deavor to have the Department Of
Commerce and Labor divided and see
to it that a practical labor man, a
genuine and intelligent representative
Of labor interests will have the place
devoted to labor interests as had been
originally intended, and man devot-
the head of the Commerce Depart
ment."
This was David B. Hills contribu-
ton to the campaign to-day.
Red Fire of Enthusiasm.
The red fire Of enthusiasm lit up
Parkersburg tonight. Rockets, tin
horns, megaphones, marching clubs
brass bands and the small boy had
complete control of the town.
The Davis special arrived shortly
after o'clock and was met at the sta
ton by a large reception committee,
and marching club. Two meetings
we're addressed by all Of the speakers
OF the party. The speech-making con-
tinued to late hour. and what was
said met with clamorous approval.
The meetings along the road to-day
we're largely attended. The work Of
the day was divided among the speak
ers, including Messrs. Davis, Hill, Bal
ley, Daniel. whyte and McGraw.

CLAIM or JUSTIFICATION.
NladiNOstOk sends a. Message In
spIred by Naval Authorities.

st. Petersburg, oct H,--A Russian
correspondent at Vladivostok sends
dispatch to the Moscow Slovo, which
evidently was inspired by the naval
authorities there. giving the justifica-
ton of the authorities for the seizure
of the mails.
The dispatch calls attention to the
fact that the Russian declaration on
the subject of contraband of war in
hibits neutrals from carrying dis
patches to the enemy. The Japanese
mail on the Calchas was examined and
packages were found addressed to Jap
anese government institutions. and
containing valuable military financial
and political information. With refer
ence to the present whereabouts of the
mail the correspondent says that sew
eral bags addressed to warships of the
American Asiatic squadron were not
opened and were left under seal at
the postoftice. The whole mail, with
the exception OF the correspondence ad,
dressed to the Japanese government in
stitutions, was sent on to Japan by
the German steamer Arabia.

any mishap in the delivery of mail
pouches.
The matter will be referred to the
state Department for action. as was
done with the case of the ordinary
United States mail on the vessel at
the time she was seized The latest
phase OF the seizure of the CalchHs

The main armies of Russia and
Japan in Manchuria continue to
be engaged in a desperate strug-
gle for supremacy south of Muk-
den. On both sides there have
been such losses in killed and
wounded as mark the contest for
one of the bloodies battles in his
tory.
Already the losses at Lao Yang
have been approXimated and the
indications are that they will be
exceeded, that of the Russians up
to noon of Oct. IA being estimated
at 10000. The Russian advance
has been converted into a stub
bornly fought retreat. The result,
according to the Russians. is still
to be determined.
Reports from the Russian left
wing are lacking, leaving room for
question if part of Gen. Kuropat-
kins army is not in worse extrem-
ity than the center and right were
at any stage of the battle. On
both sides the soldiers have shown
the utmost tenacity and bravery
and whole regiments have gone
down before the fire of the
enemy.
In official circles of st. Peters
burg there is a disposition to ar
que that, even should Gen. Kuro-
patkin be obliged to retire upon
Mukden, his position will be quite
as favorable as it was when the
order to advance was given on Oct.
6 and that, on the other hand, the
Japanese powers of future resist
ance VIII have been materially
weakened. There is no news from
Port Arthur.
