DAL|NG PASS is
TAKEN BY JAPS
THE RUSSIANS LOSE A MOST I'M
PoRTANT POINT.
BATTLE WAGES FIERcELY
cossacks Completely Routed and Flee,
Leaving $50 Dead on the Field
Pass Was Considered
Impregnable.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 24.-Daling pass,
sne 6 the most strategic spots In the
Eags Of Mnkden, has fallen to the JAP
aneBe, after repeated assaults.
Tue RDsian Cossacks, who held the
pans, were routed and fed in utter de-
fsat Friday. They left 2S0 dead on the
nald.
This is the report which has just
reached the war Office here, and officials
are plunged in the deepest gloom. The
news, while official, has not been con-
drmed by messages from Kuropatkin,
md until he reports to the car it will
not be known how the Japanese were
able to defeat the Russians at the pass,
which has been considered impregnable.
Japs Assume Offensive
Gen. Kuropatkin telegraphs that the
Japanese have assumed the offensive,
rom Bentsiaputze, on Flu pass, which
Is on the railroad between Mukden and
Fushun about IL miles from Mukden.
A brief telegram was received Friday
from Lieut.. Gen. Sakharoff announcing
The advance Of the Japanese from
Rentshputze on the village near Flu
pass. east of Mukden, and the site of the
Imperial tombs, which is likely to re-
yiYe the fears expressed at Picking that
an engagement may be fought at the
burial place of the Manchu dynasty.
No mention is made of resistance to the
advance. but it is not believed this in
hicates that the Russians do not in
tend to further oppose the march of the
Japanese on Mukden. 1t probably signi-
fies that the Japanese force is using
the small road to Flu pass, between the
highways leading to Mukden and Flu
shun, with the intention of isolating the
Russian columns guarding Fushun.
May Not Resist Advance.
st. Petersburg, Sept 24.-The absence
OF detailed reports from the seat of war.
despite the important character Of
events that are believed to be develop
ing around Mukden, leads to the suppo-
Rttion that Gen. Kuropatkin may after
all, not seriously contest the Japanese
advance, and that the long expected bat
tie at Mukden may turn out to be merely
a rear guard action upon large scale.
Gen. Sakharoff reports that the jap
anese army is moving from Bentsia-
putze toward Flu Pass. village six
miles northeast of Mukden and near the
right bank of the Hun river. The river
at this point is shallow, and probably for
this reason the locality has been Sc
aected by the Japanese for crossing. If
The Japanese succeed in gaining foot
hold at Flu Pass, Gen. Kuropatkin's posi-
ton at Mukden will be insecure as the
Japanese will from thence be able to
threaten the Russian line of communi.
cations. Flu Pass is only 20 miles north
OF Bentsiaputze, but at the present rate
of progress the Japanese will probably
occupy four or five days in traversing 1t,
The Russian force south of Mukden Is
believed to consist of only one army
corps. which is acting as rear guard
and is not intended to offer a serious
resistance to the Japanese advance.

the garden of the rectory, that he COM
posed some Of the best impromptu
verses known. He was walking with
two ladies when some one SUNNI onAd
him to the house. But his companions
were agreeable, and he was in no
haste to leave them. Turning as he
reached the gate, he said:
Thus Adam looked when from the garden
driven
And thus disputed orders sent from
heaven.
Like him go, and yet to go am loath;
Like him go, for angels drove us both.
Hard was his fate, but mine still more un-
kind
Els Eve went with him. but mine stays
behind.

How Nerve Energy Is Wasted

So many people needlessly and reck-
,iessly waste their nerve energy. They
drum the chair or the desk with their
fingers or tap the floor with their toes;
they hold their hands; they sit in a
rocking chair and rock for very dear
life. If they go upstairs they make
the whole body do the work that was
intended only for the legs; if they write
or sew they get down to it with a
vengeance and contract their brows
and wrinkle their foreheads and grind
their teeth.
If they have ali unusual task to do
they screw and contract and comfort
every muscle Of the body, making
themselves tense and rigid all over,
when the work perhaps requires but
one set Of muscles or perhaps the mind
only, as the case may me.
Wasting nerve energy; frittering it
Lway.
Little things, to be sure But little
Kings have a way Of adding them
selves up into big things. - Medical
Talk. s. ss
