being fed on the widest rumors of de-
feat suffered by General Kuropatkin
yesterday. The fact that no word re-
garding the battle has been officially
given out only confirms the popular
fear
Gear Bitterly Disappointed.
General Kuropatkin's report of the
result of the days operations has
reached Emperor Nicholas at Tsarkoe
Selo but it had not been returned here
before the war commission adjourned.
The emperor himself is represented as
being bitterly disappointed and spend
ing hours with his cabinet, studying
out with the help of his military aides
the reports of the battle. The general
staff, however, by no means despairs.
though admitting that the tide the last
two days has been against General Ku-
ropatkin. The general staff says the
battle is not yet over and that in any
event there is no question of rout.
Dispatches Tell of GaIIantry.
Dispatches from the front give a
vivid picture of the desperate char
acter of the fighting along the whole
line. There have been desperate and
repeated attacks upon almost inacces-
sible positions, which leave no ques-
ton as to the resolution and gallantry
of the Russian forces. Guns have been
captured and recaptured in fierce
hand to hand fights.
Worse Than Liaoyang.
The latest word directly from the
| field of battle is the Mukden dispatch
to the Associated Press, in which it
is stated that $4,000 Russians have
been wounded, which, together with
yesterdays casualties, would make the
total probably exceed the figures Of
Liaoyang and make the fight rank as
one of the bloodiest battles in history.
A pitiable feature is the coming Of
thousands of wounded to Mukden. The
roads and fields are covered with Grip
pied men dragging themselves to the
shelter of the hospitals, the wounded
helping each other, as few able bodied
men are being spared from the fight
ingline.

London, Oct. 15.-The main armies
of Russia and Japan in Manchuria
continue to be engaged in desperate
struggle for supremacy south OF Muk
den. On both sides there have been
such losses in killed and wounded as
mark the contest for one of the blood
lest battles in history. Already the
losses at Liaoyang have been approx
mated and the indications are that
they will be exceeded, that OF the Rus
slams I'D to noon of October IA beina
etimated at $4,000.
The Russian advance has been con.
verted into stubbornly fought re-
treat. The result, according to the
Russians is still to be determined.
Reports from the Russian left wing are
lackin, leaving room for the question
if that part of General Kuropatkin's
army Is not in worse extremity than
the center and right were at any stage
of the battle. On both sides the soN-
diers have shown the utmost tenacity
and bravery and whole regiments have
gone down before the fire of the
enemy. In official circles of st. Pc
tersburg there is disposition to argue
that even should Mr.. Kuropatkin be
obliged to retire upon Mukden his po-
sition will be quite as favorable as IL
was when the order to advance was
given October and that on the other
hand the Japanese powers of future
resistance will have been materially
weakened. There is no news from
Port Arthur.

MANY LARGE BUILDINGS TIED UP
Mems Grievance Said to Be Just. Wages Were Reduced Without Warning and Hours of La-
 boz Increased.


 NEW YORK, March 17--Nearly 15.- 900 men are idle because of the strike of the laborers in the building trades, and the loss in wages is about $50, ,OOO day, and general strike, tying up the building industry in Manhattan and the Bronx and forcing idleness upon S5,O00 men, is threatened.
 The fear on the part of the skilled men in the building trades that their employers are figuring on repudiating their recognition of the unions and conducting their business on the ''open shop" basis has served to complicate the strike of the bricklayers and build ing laborers. Alarmed by the attitude of the men, the employers have made formal denial of any intention to em- ploy nonunion labor.
 ""This malicious report" said l.. K. Prince, vice president of the Employ ers' association, twas circulated among the laboring men by persons with Q grievance against us and for the pur- pose of making trouble. There is just as much chance for congress to repu- aiate the national debt as there is for us to repudiate our agreements with the unions. We want to work in har- mony with our men and expect to-"
 An effort will be made to straighten out the building trades difficulty to- morrow, when q committee from the Master Builders association will con- fer with committee from the Brick layers union with the object of reach ing a basis of settlement. There will be present, too, delegation from the union of the laborers.
 The grievance of the men is admitted to be just. Without warning they were wages and an increase in working hours. This was in violation of the building trades agreement which the employers inaugurated themselves and which provided that all disputes were to be arbitrated. The laborers prompt ly quit work, and the employers, see ing that they had made mistake, re- scinded the order.
 But they did not entirely abandon their position, for they tackled on to their resembling order provision that LHS luCu TGluIA CO WOIA arbitration of differences. The men refused to go back to work, some of the brfcklayers went out in sympathy with them. all bricklayers and masons notified the employers that they would not work with nonunion laborers, and in that way work has been stopped on nineteen big buildings in course of erection and partially stopped on forty others, including several new school buildings.

 ''Whang! The ball was whizzing across the aortzon and Bill was going around the sacks like a tiger after dinner. Down between the club houses in deep center Hamilton was running, and Lowe was backing him up as fast as he could scramble. The ball hit somewhere near the extreme southern end of the grounds and Bill kept on running. He seemed to gain speed with every 1ope. ard with one great stride he turned third. Then he flung himself to the ground, made a slide of 40 feet and scored the ty- ing run.
 And in the next inning, before the assembled army of madmen had quit believing, Bill dashed to the wall and got a sure three-bagger. Then Chi caeo went in and made one run and won the game, and sent the man'acs home delirious. Dodson and Pagan fighting like wildcats all the way downtown.

 During the run from.

During this run of prac: tically $500 miles to Cayite no repairs or overhauling were done on the en. zines Of any of the vessels by any out, side force. and only such was done by the force on board each vessel as could be taken in hand during the short time of the stay of tie vessels at Honolulu when not occupied in coaling.
 '.The speed maintained by the battle. ship squadron from Yokohama to Hon olulu was twelve and one-half knots. The battleship squadron arrived in Cavite after this run of $500 miles in as good condition as when it started out from Yokohama and was ready for any service that it might be called on to perform.

FitZsimmons Has Started in at Light Training and Will Meet all Corners IntereStine Notes.

True to his promise, Bob Fitzsim- mons has started ill to train. Fitz has no hght in sight, at least no scheduled oLe, but he expects an imporlant en- gaeement belore long. Some of hls friends say that his next meeting will be with Jim Corbett at San Francisco, The latter, who, by the way, is ill New York, will not confirm thls. But Cor bett does not deny that he is dong some light ex rcise himself every day, which Is signincant. Eitzsimmons is quartered at bath Beach, wnere ne h4s a gymnasium adjoining his cottage. At present Fitz is without a sparilng partner, but finds enough work to do on, the road and by punching the bag. The Cornishman has sent for Hank Griffin, the colored heavyweight of San francisco, to labor with hlm. It is not unlikely that Fitzsimmons may gel in the ring fUr short scrap at Ph4ladel- phia if it is made worth his whi.e
 There is talk of matcnlng him aga.ns, Gus Ruhlin, who would, so many critics agree, prove an excellent try. out. Then there is another report that Fitz may have it out with Jack M un roe ill Philadelphia if Jim Jeffries does not object. Jeffries recently said that he does not. provided he is assured that Eitzsimmons will not knock Munroe out. Lanky Bob, by the way, never makes this assurance before engaging ill a battle in the ring with anyone.
