Reciprocity has been a platform
principle of the republican party since
the days of Blaine. Until the Cuban
treaty there had not been a reciproci-
ty treaty negotiated since BLAINE
time. The effect of the Cuban recip.
rocity arrangement is illustrated in
the reports Of the department of COM
MERGE, which show that under the
treaty our exports to that country
have increased 25 per cent and our
imports, mostly raw sugar, have in
creased 10 per cent. The terms of
the Cuban treaty were about as OBJ
jectionable as could be, being designed
TO afford cheaper raw sugar to Have
meyers sugar trust without q re.
duction on refined sugar to the Ameri.
can consumer. But the results illus.
trate what is to be expected from freei
trade all along the line.

THE ALLIANCE ENDOWED.
From Interference With the Union
 Store at Cripple Creek.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 6-Judge John A. Marshall in United States district court today granted the application of the Interstate Mercantile company, Montana corporation for a temporary injunction restraining members of the citizens alliance and the mine overs association of Teller county from inter fering with Its business dn the Cripple Creek district. The interstate company acquired a union store formerly con- ducted by the Western Federation of miners in Cripple Creek and it was raided and wrecked by a mob on the night of Aug. 20. The hearing was continued until Sept. 20.
 Fl. M. Heimerdinger, manager of the Cripple Creek house of the Interstate Mercantile company said tonight that he was arranging to return to Cripple Creek and open up business there as soon as the notice of the injunction was served on the defendants in the case. It is probable that a deputy from the United States marshals office here will start for Cripple Creek with the notice tomorrow.

FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
Though the Present Looks Dark to a
 Russian Correspondent.

Mukden, Sept. 6.-The Russian cor respondent of the Associated Press supplies the following: "Our retreat is being carried out under heavy pres sure and with the Japanese on our heels. The task is additionally difficult owing to the terrible condition of the roads and rivers. which are flooded.
 "The fighting has now been almost continuous since August 24 and how much longer it will last it is impossible to say, as the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese.
 "The number of lives sacrificed nd the loss of supplies by burning, bridges being blown up, etc, can only pc cX- pl2ined when once more We have con centrated, and this will occupy us for some days.
 Do not be under any misapprehen- sion; we will live through these heavy days and still more alarming nights; for, despite the recent failures, we have stCadfast faith in the future, and the spirit of the troops is unfmpaired. There are numberless stories of hero ism, collective and individual, when it is impossible to relate by wire. The Red Cross is working tirelessly, not on ly in aiding the wounded, but in estab- fishing booths by the roadside"

CONTINUOUS FIGHTING.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 6.-Private re- ports from Mukden say that the rear guard actions are quite severe. App parently the war office is not disturbed by the fear that Oyama will cut off Kuropatkin. The fact that the bag gage trains of the Russian army have gone on north of Mukden does not mean that Kuropatkin will continue to retreat beyond.
 The Japanese column that is hoping to cut off the Russians before Mukden is reached may consist of fresh troops in light marching order. Uneasinesj is felt that the Japanese light draught gunboats from New Chwang might make their appearance below Mukden, where the river is navigable.

 soFnia FvHit sAiRPeTs-

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. S.-Judge Olin N. WelboYn Of the United States circuit court today announced AAs teci- sion in the case Of the interstate eofu- merce cOm1nission azainst kass SosltA- ern Pacific and the. AtcAisoSa- TopeA=t and Santa Fe railroad companies and their connecting lines, holding that th~ arbitrary routing of citrus frUlt ship ments by the initial lines iE OppO@ed co the provisions of the interstate com merce act in th2t 1t destroys comp@= ton and places the shipper at ths mercy o6 the railroad company. Judge Welborn ordered q decree entered granting a writ of injunction.
 Judge Welborn in his decision makes copious etrscts from the testimony ot Paul Morton, former second vsce pres ident of the Santa Fe campghy, and ot other prominent railroad Ofict2lz, ti which they say that the arbitrary r0ut- ing of citrus fruit shipping was ioy the purpose of stopping the re3ai'- system, which, it was claiTned. was tn the detriment of small shippers. and in order to maintain tariff rates.
 Judge Welborn holds that this po-i- ton is untenable and against both tA- letter and spirit of the interstate cs-n~ merce act.

The dearth of immediate press and official dispatches from the present ac- tQal seat of the far eastern struggle continues. It is admitted by the Rus sian war office that no telegrams what eyer were received from General Kuro- patkin bearing Tuesdays date the last message to the emperor from the gem cIaI being dcted September and brief ly telling that the army was advancing northward; that it had eXtricated itself from a dangerous posiiion; that there was a constant cannonadinS Of the rear guard and that the losses on that day were about 100.
 The situation in the light of the lat est information may be summed up as follows: The Russian forces are push ing on to Mukden, greatly impeded by heavy roads and floods, conducting an orderly retreat and being followed step by step by the Japanese. Details of the fighting and of the exact position of the opposing armies are lacking. The report that KuTOpatkins rear guard has been annihilated and that the Rus sian forces are in danger of being sur rounded is denied by the Russian gen eral staff. The Russian war office is entirely convinced that the retreat is S!oNly put SuIely DtIIIS StiSCee''.
 From TokiO comes an official report that the bulk of the Russian forces is still at Yentai. The Jarancse field mar shal in an extended report Of the fight ing up to September says that the Russians burned all railroad bridges over the Taitse river and predicts that while the Japanese list Of casualties is not yet completed, the losses will prove heavy

KUROPATKlN'S ESCAPE.
Does Not Wholly Remove the Disap-
 pointment of Russia.

St. Petersburg, Sept 6.-While in- sisting that Marshal Oyama missed his main object at Liao Yang, most of the Russian papers do nos disguise their profound disappointment over the re- suit of the battle of LiaO Yang. The Russky Invalid, the organ of the army, however, is of the opinion that General KurOpTtkin both strategically and technically got everything possible out of Liao Yang, saying: Tt enabled him to cope with an army very much superior to his. Field Marshal Oyama was compelled to waste several tens of thousands of men to capture a position which is of no importance now that Kuropatkin has left. It is evident that Oyamas plans miscarried since he fail cd to surround and infiict q decisive
 blow on the Russian army"
 The other view is presented by the
 Russ as follows: The fact that Kuro-
 patkin was compelled to leave Lia0
 Yang is not of only military but poli- tical significance. It is no use con
 cealing the fact that the evacuation of
 Liao Yang was a surprise for Rus
 sians. Everybody was led to believe
 that the hour had arrived for a de-
 cisive struggle. It was thus we inter DTtleu lEieSfdlllS saying the men were thirsting for an oppor- funitY to meet the foe.
 "Dashing our hopes means the pro- longation of the campaign. The move ment for taking the offensive is now indefinitely passed. This will inevit- ably influence the fate of Port Arthur and further the development of Jap anese operations. The evacuation of Liao Yang will have an effect upon China which already is in a state of nervous tension under the influence of ! Japanese agitation. The Japanese, of course, will do their lest to restore
 Mukden to China and China must foot the bill.
 We cannot deceive ourselves any IlOnger with the idea that by retreating l into the heart of Manchuria We are | gaining time and adding to our forces, | whereas the Japanese are. lengthening l their line of communications and therefore losing strength. Our ideas of
 the military strength of the Japanese were far from correct. It is now known that they can increase their forces as well as we can. We fully believe in our ultimate success but it is idle to blink at the facts. We shall have to make heavy sacrifices in order to 1 protect the vital interests of the em- pire."

neys. He will not go to Warsaw or Libau and he remains closeted fo.. hours with his military advisers. It is believed that the outcome of these deliberations will be an order to mobii- iZe several more army corps. Late Tuesday evening the Associated Press obtained the former statement from the war office.
 No telegrams whatever were receiV- ed from General Kuropatkip today CTuesday). It is inferred that the only Russian troops remaining at Yentai on September were the rear guard, whose mission is solely to retard the enemy's movement. 1t is quite consist ent from the position of affairs to suppose that a poItiCn/of the Japanese forces entered Yentai, there being no intention to hold this point, as it is of no intrinsic importance. The stores there have already been removed and whatever was not removed was burn ed. An official telegram will probably arrive tomorrow morning.
 The transfer of the telegraph office to Mukden has caused a delay in ;he direct transmission of messag ges. A Russian coII espoGdent of the Associat- ed Press sent Q message from Muk- den Tuesday evening, more than tNen- ty-four hours after tha dispatch of General KuoPa.kin's last published message. This correspondent gives more details of the retreat and the censor is probably not allowed to au- thorize the transmission of this news until the commander in chief sends his report.
 The correspondent points out in his dispatch that the Russian troops are followed step by step by the Japanese and are impeded by heavy roads and floods. He adds: Tt is impossible tC say how long the fighting will continue as the initiative is in the hands of tho Japanese" The correspondent does no conceal the fact that the Russians arc undergoing severe ordelI, out he say: i that the courage Of the troops remain: undiminished.
 St. Petersburg is full of the wildes runners, some claiming that Kuropat i kin's rear guard has been annihilat | ed: that Kuropatkin has been taileI | prisoner, and that Port Arthur Ina. | taller. These alarmist reports we.' i circulated on the fourse and at on 1 time threatened to cause a panic.

den, the war office explains does not mean that Kuropatkin is bound fur ther north at this time but is simply a natural precautionary measure, even if he intended to hold Mukden the Russian formation during the opera tions of an army locating the baggage train fourteen miles and ambulance corps four miles in the rear of the main body of troops.
 The news from the front indicates that Oyama, having failed to surround KuropatlQin at Liao- Yang, is pressing Kuropatkin's rear with all the power or his tired troops, while hurrying for ward a column which crossed the Tait- Sc river at BenSihu, thirty miles north east of Liao Yang and five miles due east of Yentai station, in the hope of cutting the Russian line of retreat be- low Mukden.
 This column may consist of fresh troops in light marching order. The Bensihu road joins the main road from Yentai, where the latter is intersected by the Hun river, three miles below Mukden. Once this point is passed Kuropatkin's army will have >the Hun river between it and Oyama. The only uneasiness is due to the possibility that Japanese light draft gunboats, which according to reports, are coming up from New Chwang, might suddenly make their appearance, the river be- ing navigable to this point.
 As Kuropatkin was just north of Yentai. when the heads of transports entered Mukden yesterday, it is evident that the retreating column is over fif- teen miles long.

St. Petersburg, Sept. :, 2:1O a. m.- There has been no news from General KurOpatkin since Monday afternoon. This is attributed to the interruption of direct communication with the com mander in chief owing to the transfer of the telegraph office to Mukden, whither messages have to he sent by courier.
 The utmost confidence prevails at the war office that the Russian army is slowly but surely effecting its retreat without serious risk of being cut off. None the less intense anxiety is. felt throughout the whole nation, and this feeling is shared by the emperor. His majesty is unwilling at such a juncture to absent himself from Peterhoff and has countermanded all proposed jour
