EXPECTS RoUT OF RUSSIANS.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-THE London pa
pers have to rely mainly upon official
reports Cor news from the Far East,
but the dispatches thus far received
regard a complete japanese victory as
sured. Says the Daily Telegraph:
General Kuropatkin has shot his
bolt 1t seemed to be speeding we'll to-
ward the mark. yet he has missed 1t
badly He has suffered not merely re-
pulse, but a disastrous defeat, while
Japan's incompatible soldiers, under
Incompatible generals, have added
another glorious page to the chronicle
of war and proved that Oyama is stin
Kuropatkin's master in every branch of
the art of war;
The Daily Graphic describes General
Kurcpatkin's move as a gamblers
throw" and considers that the frank
bluntness of his report to the Emperor
seems to speak the language of a man
who has done his best with the bung-
ling advice of some superior agency.
The Standard finds General Kuropat-
kin's dispatch full of tragic meaning.
while the Daily News argues that the
Russian dash southwark was prompted
by desperate desire to relieve Port
Arthur, rather than to Viceroy Alex
ieff's malign influence. the end Of

If John c. Fisher. discoverer of the
famous "Florodora" sextet, the Cham

womanhood, should chance to be in the
place of the representative who is at
present in Frisco using his efforts to
remind people that San Toy is COM
ing and that Mr.. Fisher will present it
with James T. Powers and other Gel
ebrities at the Columbia Monday night,
there is a pretty even cnance that he
would organize another San Toy
company for the accommodation of the
many Frisco girls who have sought
TO attach themselves to the payroll of
the Chinese-E English musical comedy.
The San Toy agent arrived here
a week ago and since then has had no
time to attend to the routine business.
From the moment he reaches the Co
lUmbia in the morning all of his time is
occupied in telling a string of stage
struck maidens that there lis nothing
doing" Dozens Of girls have applied
for positions.
An ambitious beauty who signs her
name Lucille Lewis is one of the many
pretty girls that have applied for po-
sitions in the San Toy company"

was bright. Below US on every side
stretched the same clear fields, which
bordered hills varying in size and with
narrow passes.
The Japanese made desperate efforts
to recover the hill held by the Voron-
ski regiment. They threw a whole
brigade of infantry against it. support
ed by a heavy fire from their batter
les. The Voronski men CALAMITY held
the position. Our batteries first replied
from the hilltops. but later went be-
low. The Japanese, not perceiving the
change of position, continued to fire
on the old position all day. At
night we entrenched behind the hill.
The advance continued slowly and
steadily with repeated skirmishes. No

BOY DETECTIVE

Plan to Become a Sleuth

Amateur Thief Taker Comes

PlOw Is Better Than Star
Special Dispatch to The Call.


ST. LOUIS, Oct 13.-James McCar-
thy, aged 20, a farmland from Fresno,
Cal, and a would-be detective, who
was arrested yesterday for capturing
a law abiding citizen, was discharged
to-day in City Hall Police Court by
Judge Tracy, who administered the fol-
lowing advice:
These correspondence schools for
detectives are bred by dime novels. If
you believed you had superior detec-
tive ability, which 1 doubt, you should
have applied for work on some metro
politan police force. However, 1 be-
lieve you meant no harm and you are
discharged. but. believe me, your great
est profit will come by sticking to the
plow"
Mccarthy reached ST. Louis two
weeks ago with $500 and burning am
bition to track great criminals to their
lairs and get the big rewards offered
for their arrest. He had always worked
on a farm, but after reading detective
literature became convinced he was
cut out for a detective.
He saw an advertisement of a de-
tective association asking for opera
tives and sent for the association s
book. He received several pamphlets,
among them being a book of halftone
portraits of notorious criminals wanted
by the police, to each of whom was at
tached large reward.
Mccarthy studied these pictures inn
pressing the features of each indelibly
on his mind, then went forth to earn
the rewards. At Ninth and Market
streets he saw a man standing in the
doorway of the Salvation Army bar
racks. "Ah hal" he murmured, John
Simpson, alias Stillwell, burglar and
escaped convict Soon l will have the
darbies on you, my man, and you will
be the prisoner of James Mccarthy,
the boy detective"
These were the thoughts that flashed
through his mind. according to his con-
fession to-day in court. Nonchalantly
he approached the man in the doorway
and tapped him upon the shoulder
Hist" he exclaimed. Come with
me; 1 am Mccarthy, the sleuth. Jack
Stillwell, 1 have you at last
Finland me-" replied the man, his
black brows coming together in an
angry frown. Il am not Jack Still
well. / am just plain John Burkhardt,
citizen of good renown, lodging with
the Salvation Army"
But Mccarthy. the sleuth, was not so
easily deceived. Had he not seen the
picture Of Stillwell in the book? And
Burkhardt somewhat resembled Still
we'll.
But Burkhardt called on the Saliva
ton Army captain to prove his identity
and the sleuth was arrested.

arrived from Russia had but one theme
Port Arthur. We must get there in
time to deliver it was heard on every
side. General Kuropatkins order to ad-
vance had aroused the greatest enthu-
siasm everywhere.
THE advance was general along the
line on October s. The day was wet
and foggy, and while this did not con-
tribute to high spirits it served to I'M
pede the japanese artillery fire. which,
as we approached their eastern posi-
ton. was extremely Indifferent. On the
west the Japanese slowly retreated be-
fore us, we in the advanced companies
keeping in close touch. This day Cen
eral Mistchenko had brilliant engage
ment with the Japanese near Bentsia-
putze The Cossacks' batteries went in
at a gallon. firing and advancing to
fresh positions and repeating the oper-
alton until the Japanese abandoned the
hill positions and fled in confusion.
Taking advantage of the confusion
caused by the artillery fire the
Verkhneudinski Siberian regiment
rushed the position, not giving the
japanese even time to remove their
ammunition boxes. 1t is reported that
the japanese lost heavily in this en-
counter. BentsiaDutze was magnifi-
cent position held by a division of
Japanese and strongly entrenched.
Meantime hard fighting was pro-
ceeding on the extreme east, where we
drove back the Japanese step by step.
The troops we met here were evidently
a fresh importation and not those OPP
posed to US at Liaoyang.
1.-The same day the Voronski regi-
ment was ordered to occupy the hills
in front of Yentai This was accom-
plished brilliantly. Having secured
commanding position they entrenched
under heavy fire, driving back attack
after attack.
THE day closed with a heavy rain.
The Japanese retired along the. whole
line, in some cases six to twelve miles.
Yesterday, October 10, we reached
position in the hills which lay across
our line of advance. The Japanese
were then a long distance in front. The
weather had got warmer and the sun
