THE WAR IN THE EAST.

day said that General THE EAST. Kuropatkfn was ad- vancing. There has been no resumption of fighting of general character on the Shakhe river. Both Russians and Jap anese are intrenching their positions. The outposts are within TOO yards of each other, and less than four miles separates the main armies. A scarcity of fuel is causing the soldiers great suffering since cold weather set in. The Japanese army confronting General Kuropatkin is reported to be receiving heavy re-enforcements from the Port Arthur army and direct from Japan.
 The sacrifice of life in the ten days struggle between Mukden and Liao- yang was appalling. Accurate field re- ports make the total Japanese losses 19,200 in dead and wounded. The Rus sian losses are placed at 45,000, includ ing 12.G00 known dead.
 The most important recent events at Port Arthur include the capture by the Japanese of fa-a-her mingp positions near RihluHg mountain and the severe damage of a Japanese torpedo boat de- stroyer by striking floating mine.

TEN MILES IN A|RSH|P
Successful Flight of Baldwin Machine Taken From Expo
 Sition Grounds.
MISSISSIPPI RIVER CROSSED.

In Spite of Breaking of Propeller Motor
 Aeronaut Kept Control of Ship and
 Landed Safely In Illinois an Hour
 After Beginning FIieht-The Airship
 Described.
 St. Louis, Oct 26.-Handled by one man easily as a racing yacht by fifty. Thomas $. Baldwin's big airship Ar row was taken on a trip of ten miles by A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, and, although the propeller motor broke when it had been aloft only fifteen minutes, it remained in flight for a full hour and was brought back to earth in another state steadily and safely as if no accident had occurred.
 The great machine passed over the fair grounds and most of the city, and tens of thousands suspended business and sight seeing to watch it's course among the clouds. No notice of the flight had Eeen given.
 The vessel reached an altitude of al- most mile, but the one man who was skipper and crew could be seen dis tinctly even at that height. He still was visible when he crossed to the Hi nois bank and steered the ship for Ca hollia. There he turned a crank or wheel and pulled a lever. In what seemed the fraction of second the Arrow began to descend. She settled steadily and smoothly until within ten feet of the ground. Then Knabenshue tossed his grapple overheard, and one of the stout hooks clutched a large tree. The airship sank slowly to the surface, resting easily on it's frame work, and in a trice knabenshue was out and had secured his craft from in- jury by the wind. He hurried to tele- phone to tell Mir. Baldwin the break in the motor was tine only harm the ship had rece.sed in her voyage.
 Trial Declared Success.
 Knabenshue said the trial was an emphatic success. He said he could have brought the flying machine to the ground at any time, but that as he could to a certain extent control it's movements and that as he felt himself In no danger he decided to continue the flight and demonstrate that, even though the motor was broken the Ar row could be controlled.
 The airship was constructed under the personal supervision of Captain Baldwin in California and differs in many features from its predecessors On the ship Captain Baldwin places his hopes of winning the $100,000 prize ---41 tho fai,, -nriae gas balloon is cigar shaped, of Japanese silk, fifty four feet long and seventeen feet in diameter, and requires 5000 cubic feet of gas to infiate 1t. The frame attachment is thirty feet long, It carries double cylinder seven horsepower gasoline engine, making 2,000 revolutions of the propeller minute possible. The ma chine is arranged so that the ship is pulled instead of pushed.
