kuropatkin Prepares Attack

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 10.-The fol-
lowing is the text of an order of the
day. issued by Gen. Kuropatkin, and
dated Mukden, Oct 2:
More than seven months ago the enemy
treacherously fell upon us at Port Arthur
then, by land and sea. Russian troops have
performed many heroic deeds of which
the fatheriand may justly be proud. The
enemy, however, Is not only not over
thrown. but in his arrogance continues to
dream of complete victory.
The troops of the Manchurian army, in
unyarying good spirits, hitherto have not
been numerically strong enough to de-
feat the Japanese army Much time is
necessary for overcoming all the difficult
ties of strengthening the active army
so as to enable It to accomplish with com
plete success the arduous, but honorable,
task imposed upon it.
1t is for this reason that, in spite of
the repeated repulses OF japanese attacks
upon our positions at Tatchekiao, Liam
diansian and Liau-yang, / did not con-
slider that the time had arrived to take
advantage of these successes and to be-
gin forward movement. and l therefore
gave the order to retreat.
You left the positions you had so
heroically defended. covered with piles
of the enemy's dead and without allow
ing yourselves to be disturbed by the Zoe
and in full preparedness for a fresh fight.
After fiye-day battle at Liau-yang you
retired on new positions which had been
prepared previously. AlleT SuCccSSl
defending all advanced and main positions
you withdrew to Mukden under most diff
cult conditions.
/ ordered the retreat with a sorrowful
heart, but with mistaken confidence that
it was necessary in order to gain com
pIete and decisive victory over the enemy
when the time came.
Heretofore the enemy, in operating, has
relied on his great forces. and, disposirg
his armies so as to surround u.s. has
chosen, as he deemed fit. his time for at
tack; but now the moment to go to meet
the enemy, for which the whole army
has been longing, has come. and the time
has arrived for us to compel the japanese
to do our will for the forces of the Man
churian army are strong enough to be-
gin forward movement. Nevertheless,
YOU must be increasingly mindful of the
victory to be gained over our strong and
gallant foe. In addition to numerical
Strength in all commands, from the low

Mr.. MidgleyS testimony tended to show
that by a comprehensive system of re-
bates and commissions, transportation Of
many OF the principal commodities of
commerce is almost wholly within the
grasp of the private carr companies.

private car. system that the railways
were anxious TO clip the wings of the
privates.
James S. Watson, of the firm of Porter

Various Suits for SANDER

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-Frank De

prominent clubs, today shot and killed
himself. A suit brought by him against
two other clubmen, alleging SANDER

to have come Up in court today. The
first suits were begun last May. These

statements made were true and the
conversation privileged.
Hall was a member Of an old New

nation as a member of the Calumet
club was requested on July %, 1908,
and was given. Hall was also mem
Der of the st. Anthony club, the New
York Yacht club and the Trinity alum
nj. In all his suits Mr.. Hall alleged
that the statements were false and ma
liciously made, that because of these
statements he was obliged to resign
the presidency OF F. De Peyster Hall
& Co., that his business and social ac-
quaintances refused longer to transact
business with him or to associate with
him, and that he had been obliged to
abandon entirely his occupation.
Mr. Hall was fifty years old, devoted
to athletics, having good athletic
record in college, where he was mem
Der of the Delta Psi fraternity. 1t was
reported today that Hall had heard
4Jao+ tho district attorney had start ed
an investigation of the charges made
against him with view to possible ac-
ton. and that this knowledge may have
led to his suicide. The matter, how
ever. had not been presented to the
grand jury.
