Russians Capture Guns.

st. Petersburg, Oct 18.-General
Sakharoff telegraphs that the Rus
stans on Sunday recaptured Lonely
Tree hill south Of Shakhe. and cap
tured eleven Japanese guns and one
quick firer.
Lonely Tree hill is situated near
Shakhe. about three miles east of the
railroad. The Shakhe river runs
around Its base. The Japanese seized
the hill during the night of October
10th. overpowering the two Russian
regiments which previously were in
possession of it.
Russian reinforcements were hur.
rled up and early the following morn
ing opened a sustained artillery fire.
Subsequently the Russian infantry
stsrmed the hill and fierce fighting at
close quarters followed. Numbers of
Japanese were bayoneted in the

Aghting. The losses were heavy.
A dispatch sent from Mukden at

reached Mukden on September 9Th.
and General Kuropatkin. In obedienoe
TO 1t. began his disastrous southern ad-
vance movement. An extended report
dealing with the statements Of these
prisoners Is as follows:
According to statements made to Of
hcers Of the center army BY Russian
prisoners whom they had captured. the
enemy had received information that
the strength OF the garrison at Post
Arthur was being daily reduced and
that the garrison was In . disastrous
condition. Fresh Russian reinfoFoo-
ments were constantly arriving a1
Manchria from Europe and the strength
of the forces under General kuropatkin
in the neighborhood of MukdeN had
reached to over nine army corps.
"Thereupon, the prisoners said. the
Russian Emperor on Septemb 9th Or
dered kuropatkin not to retire . step
beyond Mukden and directed him. CIR
cumstances permitting. to assume the
offensive as quickly as possible and to
drive the Japanese out Of southern
Manchuria, in order to rescue the Port
Arthur garrison.
"The prisoners declared that the war
would continue for long time because
the Russians had decided to attain .
final victory, regardless Of the losses
which might be involved. as otherwise
a defeat would mean a general revolu-
tion and the disintegration Of Russian
territory.
During one engagement the Thirty
seventh division. especially the First
brigade, sustained extraordinary losses.
The first company of the One Hundred
and Forty fifth regiment was annihilated
on Sankuaihsi mountain and many line
officers were killed. wounded or cap
tured. The Third Siberian reserve dt-
vision sustained the greatest loss.
"At the beginning OF the war the
Russian regiments numbered 1000 men
each. After the battle of Lao Yang
each Of the regiments was reduced to
strength of about $500. with the e1cep-
tion of the Twelfth regiment. which al
a result of this battle was reduced to
800. This regiment. after the battle.
was commanded by captain. the bat
talions being in command Of sub-lieu-
tenants, while the older privates d.
rected the operations of its companies"

STILL CRITICAL
RUSSIANS NOT WITHOUT HOPE

kuropsts<in Firmly Holds Right Wins
-R0ssian Center Slightly Ad
w.need-Tryins to Cover Rersat oi
Let Wing.
81 Petersburg. Oct. ls.-;:15 a. m
The aews from the front tonight is
moro reassnrins. from the Russian
standpoint The situation Is still re-
Garded rs being critical. but General
Karopatkin is apparently holding the
Japanese firmly on his center and
right wing. even having recrossed the
Shakhe river. and while there are
rxmors Of extensive Japanese hanking
movements. both on the east and on
tho vest. there is no evidence that
they are actually occurring.
General kuropatkin's left has been
heard from. The Associated Press has
tho first connected report of the four
days light in front of Tumen and Salt
chou passes. resulting in the final with
ArawA Of the strong Russian column
which lad been sent in turn the Japa-
Aess right, though General Mistchenko
seens to have actually penetrated a
considerable distance inside the Japa-
Aese line. The report OF the operations
ct the Russian left wing is still three
days old. and since that time no news
has been received from this column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scrtbed as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly ad-
Naaced his center. reoccupying Shakhe.
south of the Shakhe river. Directly be-
hind him at a distance of nine miles lies
the Hun river. and across the bridges
spanning this stream the Russians
must retire in case they retreat on
Mukden- General Kuropatkin must
continue to firmly hold his CEN
ter and right flank in order to prevent
the japanese getting possession of the
Hun river bridges. Thus he will cover
the withdrawal OF his apparently beaten
east wing.
There Is still considerable uncer-
talnty as to the disposition of this left
column. Certainly it has not returned
TO Mukden: whether it is again adyanc-
ing after Its withdrawal Is not known.
1t Ls no longer question Of Rus
sian Sedan, although all hope of re-
heving Port Arthur must apparently be
abandoned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro-
DatkiR will be able to advance.
The four-days' fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate char
acter that marked the operations of
the center and right wing. A heavy
Russian column under such leaders as
ivanho1. Rennenkamp. Garngross and
Kondratovich repeatedly assaulted
strongly intrenched japanese positions
On heights commanding the passes The
assaults were largely night work. The
cannonade was SO furious that 1t was
impossible to advance in the light Of
day.
Finally, on October 18th. when the
passes had been actually occupied, came
the order to withdraw. probably owing
to critical position at other parts OF
the front. Here the story OF the opera
tons OF the eastern wing of the west
ern army ends.
Vice Admiral Rojestvsky has been
appointed adjutant to the Emperor.
General Grippenberg, who has ar
rived at st. Petersburg. will go to the
front ten days hence to assume COM
snand Of the second Manchurian army.

WINTHROP PROSPERS
Big Furniture Making Company to Take
the Plant Vacated BY the TeIe-
phone Company at Dream City
NEW EPOCH OF PROSPERITY

The people of Winthrop Harbor are
rejoicing over the prospects of new
era of prosperity which is being
promised to the town, as it is an
nounced that company which has
been formed in Chicago for the manu-
facture of furniture has leased the
big plant of the Wisconsin Telephone
Construction Company, and will in
the near future open factory for the
manufacture of furniture. The te1e-
phone company is now removing to
Chicago and the new plant will not be
opened for probably year. Before
the plant opens the buildings will be
enlarged and large amount of new
machinery added to the plant. It is
said that some of the men who have
been interested in the telephone plant
will be interested in the furniture
factory and that their efforts have
been largely responsible for the 1oca-
ton of the plant at the harbor. It is
claimed that the removal of the plant
will be benefit to the village, as the
furniture factory will on the outset
employ a larger number of men than
the telephone company has ever en-
p1oyed. The news that that the new
plant is coming to Winthrop will be
pleasing to many people in Kenosha,
as in the past few years many Keno
sha 1aborers have been employed al

expected to be thrown out of employ.
ment. AS it is they will all be EN-
p1oyed by the new company and there
will be good market for labor in the
little village.
The settlement of the receivershir
of the town is now well under way
and it is expected that the property
will be transferred to a new owner in
the very near future.
