ADVANCE LINES ACTTVE.
Firing Along Front -Kuropatkin's s
appointment Praised.

St Petersburg Oct. 26.-General Sakharoff
telegraphs under to-day's date that there was
no general fighting on the night of October
20-28 but the Russian shsrpshooters harassed
the japanese during the night along the whole
front.
General Kuropatkin sent word that there was
no important action October %. He added:
desultory artillery fire was maintained all
the enemy and ourselves.
On the night OF October "a Russian vOlun-
teer sharpshooters ambushed advancing jap
anese Outposts and forced them TO retire south
ward. Another detachment recovered a Russian
gun carriage.
on the Russian centre a detachment drove
back the Japanese advance near the village of
Yautcha but upon the appearance of strong
Japanese reinforcements tine detachment
turned 10 the village or Shakhe, after burying
the bodies Of several Russians killed in fights
and collecting large quantities OF arms and am
munition
Viceroy Alexieff's order Of the day announc-
ing Kuropatkins appointment to the troops is
in the grandose vein as Kuropatkin's
order of October ;, and is regarded having
definitely established the authorship Of that
document While Alexierf takes particular
palms. in turning over the supreme command OF
the land forces to Kuropatkin, to inform the
soldiers and the world Of the marks Of imperial
confidence reposed in him and to announce that
he will remain Viceroy. the order Is considered
as virtually his farewell address. and 1t is be-
lieved that it will soon be followed by his return
to ST. Petersburg. His elimination factor
in the military situation has caused a sigh Of
relief
The papers all welcome the announcement Of
Kuropatkin's appointment to the chief command
well merited recOmpense for the manner in
which he discharged the difficult role imposed
upon him. and. reading between the lines. a
promise Of better results. since there is no
longer prospect of the elevation OF a grand
