NUMBER OF RUSSIANS KILLED.
While the Japanese are reported to
be slowly advancing upon Mukden,
there has been no fighting worthy OF
note between the opposing armies
under Gen. Kuropatldn and Marquis
Oyama The latter, according to the
military critics at st. Petersburg, is
likely to pursue tactics quite different
from those essayed by the Japanese at
Lao Yang, and 1t is expected that the
attack will come upon the Russian
front and hanks, rather than in the
form of enveloping movement.
St Petersburg, Sept. 23.-The Japa-
nese operations against Mukden are
rapidly developing. Gen. Kuropatkin
announces that the Japanese army at
Bentsaputze is beginning to advance
northward The outposts Wednesday
tried to capture Kaoutou Pass, com
manding the road to Fushun.
Marquis Oyama is giving up the
idea of cutting Gen. kuropatkin' com
munication to the northwaTd and con
tenting himself with advancing upon
the Russian front and flank in such
fashion as to force the evacuation of
the town and compel the Russians to
retreat further north.

of the wreck was the striking Of a SO

and rushed back to take it off the
track, but before he got within hun
dred yards of the box the car came

sun was we'll up King Peter, on horse
back, rode out from the palace.
The cathedral was reached shortly
after O'Clock There the represent
ative OF the foreign powers, the cabi-
net ministers and others had already
been waiting for some time. AS King
Peter entered the metropolitan conse-

were fired. The king then took up his
position under a canopy and the met
ropolitan, assisted by many bishops
and other clergy, commenced the SOL
emn service, the choir singing Thank
Thee, Our Lord" After the prayer
the premier and other ministers hand
ed the crown and regalia to King
Peter. He kissed the crown, placed
1t on his head and robed himself in the
royal garments. An artillery salute
of 101 guns then announced to the
people of Belgrade that King Peter
