THEY ARE STILL
PUSHING ALONG
Russian War Office Confident That
Retreat Is Proper.
MOVING STEADILY ON
There Had Up to Wednesday Morn
ing Been No Report Received
From General Kuropatkin :.
Since Monday.

New York. Sept s.-The dearth OF
Immediate press and official dispatches
from the present actual seat OF the fat
eastern struggle continues. 1t Is ad-
mitted by the Russian war ocice that
no kilograms whatever were received
from General Kuropatkin bearing
Tuesdays date. the last message to
the emperor from the general being
dated Sept. S. and briefly telling that
the army was advancing northward:
that 1t had extricated itself from a
constant cannonading of the rear
guard, and that the losses on that day
were about 100. The situation. in the
light of the latest information. may be
summed up as follows:
The Russian forces are pushing on
to Mukden. greatly impeded by heavy
roads and floo1s. conducting an or
derby retreat. followed step by step
by the Japanese. Details of the fight
ing and of the exatc position of the
opposing armies are lacking.
The report that Kuropatkin's rear
guard has been annihilated, and that
the Russian forces are in danger OF
being surrounded is denied by the
Russian general staff. The Russian
war office is entirely confident that
the retreat is slowly but surely being
effected. From Toxic comes the Off
cial report that the bulk of the Rus
sian forces is still at Yentai.
The japanese field marshal. in an
extended report of the fighting up 10
Sept. 4, says that the Russians burn
ed all the railroad bridges over the
Taitse, and predicts that while the
japanese list of casualties is not yet
complete. the losses will prove heavy

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine rs is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has a wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, onein the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corscts, Muslin I'm
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, etc, by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucbs at once, for
attaching an MINUS VI HutNoAiSf NUNS
and eyelets, for sewing sails. for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for a thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

STAND AT TELLING.
Russians May Assume Defensive Posi-.
ton at That Place.

ST. Petersburg. Sept. S.--There has
been constant fighting in the Russian
rear and along the eastern wing but
so far AS known up to noon Wednesday
nothing OF importance occurred since
the retreat began. The general staff
naturally is reticent about Kuropat =
kin's plans. especially as 10 whether he
intends to stop at Mukden. The de-
cision probably depends upon the in
tentions of the japanese. Contingent
preparations probably VIII be made
to evacuate Mukden and there is con-
siderable evidence that Kuropatkin. 10
compelled TO go north. will make a
stand at Telling. where the Russians
wintered last year. Telling is forty
miles north OF Mukden. At this point
there is a narrow defile. with the Lao
river on one side and mountains run
ming almos own to the railroad on
the other.
The report that the sailing OF the
Baltic squadron has been postponed
until November is officially denied. The
squadron will sail for L.bau Sunday
Exactly when IL sails thence is not
known.

oYAMA's PURPOSE.
Japanese Right Wing Intended to
Flock Line Of Retreat.

st. Petersburg. Sept. s.--As the Rus
rian newspapers begin to realize more
fully the catastrophe which General
Kuropatkin avoided at Lao Yang anG
the skillful manner in which he upset
Field Marshal Oyama's plans to sur
round the Russian army they take =
more cheerful view Of the result and
are beginning TO bestow upon Kuro-
patkin great praise.
il is now apparent that oyama's
purpose by pressing the Russian posi-
tions In front OF Lao Yang was to hold
Kuropatkin's attention while the Jap
anese right wing was thrust around
the Russian rear to block the Russian
line of retreat. But Kuropatkin at the
very inception had his eyes upon q
thanking movement and countered by
the early withdrawal of his main army
to the right bank of the Taitse river
changing his front to meet and hold
Kuroki in check while General Zarou
baieffs corps at Lao Yang crossed
burning bridges behind and placing the
river between him and General Oku.

situation. declares empbatica pS0Ai

No further details OF fhe losses suf-
fered by the Russians during the ten
