Time to Withdraw.

Tokio-The Russian concentration
in front of the armies of Gems. Oku
and Nodzu (the left and centre respec-
liyely) on Monday, reported by Field
Marshal Oyama, created the impress
sion here that the Russians were plan
ming to assume the aggressive, and
that another great battle was imminent
but it is now thought that Gen. Kuro-
patkin is merely seeking to protect
his right and rear in order to gain
time to withdraw his army across the
Hun river, because it is believed that
it will be impossible for him either to
move aggressively against the Japan
ese or to hold his position on the
Shakhe river.
Figures showing the Japanese
losses since Oct. 10, are still incom-
Dlete. as is the count of the guns and
other Russian property captured by the
Japanese. Figures showing the losses
to the Russians are likewise incom-

st. Petersburg.-Fo the moment
heavy rains and impossible roads have
compelled a suspension of operations in
Manchuria There was practically no
fighting yesterday and none whatever
last night.
There is evidence of a new disposi.
tion of the forces on both sides.

Tree hill, the importance of which
point is fully realized by the Japanese.
who have attempted to retake 1t in two
night attacks, or whether to meet and
thwart japanese turning movement
from the west, has not yet developed.
The Japanese also appear to be shifting
weight to the westward.
Yelled hints continue to arrive that
the Russians have recovered from the
blow inflicted last week by Field Mar
shal Oyama, and that Gen. Kuropatkin
is preparing to renew the struggle as
soon as the roads become dry.
Two Associated Press dispatches
from Mukden mention reports that
the Japanese already are preparing TO
retire and the war Office admits that
Kuropatkin's left has again moved
slightly forward, but there Is no light
upon thesmovements Of the Japanese.
There is, indeed, an utter lack of
late news from Toxic; and an enemy
so resourceful may really be prepar-
ing a surprise movement Instead OF a
retreat, relieving the pressure on the
front with a view to accomplishing
something on the flank.
Many critics here continue to be-
lieve that Gen. Kuropatkin intends to
return to the line of the Hun river.
The enforced cessation of operations
Offensive had really exhausted itself,
gives both armies a chance to breathe
and pull themselves together, and
would seem to ensure as much benefit
to one side as to the other.
When operations recommence they
will assume an entirely new phase,
with new dispositions and objectives
Practically last weeks battle has end
ed and it goes into history as a Rus.
sian defeat. When operations are re-
sumed a new battle will begin.
The temperance of Viceroy Alexieff
at Mukden today for conference Is
not particularly reassuring, as such
conferences in the past have not beer
| fruitful of success.

Jackson, N. H.-News has been re-

son had been shot by mistake for a
deer by one of party while hunting
and had died from the wounds sus-
tained. Five buckshot pierced his
body.
A party of young men, consisting of
Burce, Jacob Patton, Ashley Fernald,
Sherman Trickey and Howard Moody
was out for a few days hunting on
Green hill, about four miles from
Jackson village. The light evenings
had proven to be the best time to
search for game, so after eating sup
per the party divided, members go
ing in different directions.
They had not been out but a short
time when Ashley Fernald fired at
what he supposed to be deer, but
which proved to be Burce. He at
once removed to camp, where medical
aid was summoned, but he lived only
a short time.
Burce was about 80 and had been in

Rutland, Vt.-Percival w. Clement,
the local optiOnist, as chairman Of the
Rutland board of license commission
ers, has revoked the licenses of all
the Rutland liquor dealers, DIR. j. j.
Trudel, John II. Dugan, Michael Du-
gan and Timothy A. Clifford. for al
legged violation of the state laws re-
garding the sale of liquors.
Three of these licenses were grant
ed by the board of aldermen and one
by the license commissioners as the
result of an ambiguity of the law, and
the licensees refused to recognize the
commission and continued doing busi-
ness. The tangle will have to be un-
raveled by the supreme court. In Or
der to avoid trouble the dealers will
probably secure new licenses from
the aldermen.
Clement left for an extended west
ern trip In his private car just after
