plea For Song Birds.

The winter is over and the song
birds, the harbingers of spring, are
making their appearance through
ont the State. Song birds are in
sectiverous birds, hence apart from
the pleasure they afford the ear Of
man, they are of great assistance to
the farmer, gardener or fruit grow
er. In recognition of these facts the
State OF Maryland, in Chapter 206,
of the Acts of 1898, has thrown
around these beneficial agents due
protection.
The State Game Warden, Col.
John w. Avirett, is urging all OF
the newspapers of the State to give
publicity to the law and to assist
in creating a sentiment in its favor
which will insure respect for its
every provision. A section of the
law referred to above reads:
SEC 15H-No person shall, in this State. at any
time shoot or in any manner catch or kill, expose
for SALE sell or bay or have in possession alive OF
dead, any turkey-buzzard, wren, sparrow, blue
bird, humming bird, bluejay, migratory, or other
thrush, wood robin, red-breasted robin, martin,
mocking bird, cat bird, swallow, oriole. red bird.
lark indigo bird, joe wink, pewit, sapsucker,
whipporwill. gold finch, yellow-breasted chat,
cedar bird, herring gull or mackerel gull or gull
of any description. under penalty of not less
than one (S dollar nor more than five 1857 dollars
for each bird SO shot, caught, killed, exposed for
sale, sold bought or had in possession; and no
person shall under like penalty, have in his or
her possession, offer for sale or wear the skins,
plumage wings or feathers of any Of the birds,
the catching or killing of which is prohibited BY
this Section provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be so construed as to make
it unlawful to shoot, catch or KILL in any man.
ner destroy, at any time any hawk or other birds
destructive to domestic poultry, or any English
sparrow, or crow, OF blackbird; provided, that
this section shall not apply to St. Marys comfy
and Calvert county; provided that 1t shall be
lawful to have mocking birds or red birds or
other song birds in cages, or stuffed specimens of
any of said birds in educational institutions. or
public or private museums.
In the case of Calvert county
there is no restriction. as to the
killing of these birds, except the
hooking birds, and in st. Mary's
the robin may, by local act, codified
in Article 10 Of the Code of 1898,
be shot in that county, from Octo-
Der 1, to March L. The game
warden has asked the delegations
from these counties to pass the
necessary Act to have State law
apply to these counties that there
shall not be any section of the
State where the killingsof the song
and insectiverous birds shall be
legal. The support Of the move
ment is general and the publicity
given the law at this time will
ensure its observance.

How a Mi.er selected an Heir

AS like affects like, SO it is with mi
sers, and gold will go where gold Is.
This Is strikingly illustrated by the act
OF a celebrated Greek, one Dich9us
DichGms, a descendant of the Byzan-
tine einperors. This man, by the exer-
else of extreme niggardliness, managed
to amass the sum of $4,000, an i'm
mense fortune in those days. Then
came the question to whom should he
leave II. One day a distant relative
sent hiE1 letter written upon square
inch of paper. This was sufficient. In
the fitness Of things the parsimonious
correspondent became the miser's heir.

New-York tribune., 1904-09-08

Withdrawing his main army to the right bank
OF the Tai-Tse River, changing mis- front TO
meet and hold General Kurold in check while
General Zaroubaieffs corps, ct Liao-Yang,
crossed, burning the bridges behind it.
Both the Russian and Japanese accounts seem
to agree IN saying that until the withdrawal OF
the main Russian army began Kuropatkin had
beaten OF the Japanese assaults in front OF
Liao-Yang. and that the Russian commander in
chiefs first movement against Kurold was also
measurably successful.
While not Understanding the difficulties at
tending the task of the retirement of the army
northward and the continued threat from
Oyama's right. the "Novoe Vremya" evidently
considers that il already has practically been
successfully accomplished The ''Novosti" says:
In England France and Germany the serious
nature OF the consequences of the defeat OF the
Russian army is fully appreciated. and as the
views Of their military critics are by no means
unfavorable. there exist reasons why we
should give way TO despair over a defeat which
never took place
The Invalid" the army organ. also con-
tinues 10 maintain that Oyana met strategical
defeat, but expresses the opinion that oyama
has not yet given UP hope of hanking Kuro-
patlin. for which he is strengthening Kuroki
and diminishing the pressure against the Rus
sian rear.
The ''Novoe Vremya." reviewing the situation.
declares ernphaticaIly that neither mediation nor
peace is now even thought of.
No further details Of the losses suffered by the
Russians In the ten days lighting have been re-
ceived- How long the roll OF casualties ulti-
mately viii be can be estimated by the official
report Of the number OF officers killed
wounded between August 20 and 81 IN a single
division This division OF General Kondrats-
witch, which is under General Zaroubaieff, and
Lao Yang lost twelve officers killed thirty-ivs
wounded and one missing.

RUSSIANS At MOUKDEN.
Belief That the Critical Stage Of
Retreat Has Passed.

ST Petersburg, Aug. THE bulk OF the Rus
sian Manchurian army is near Moukden where
II now appears, General Kuropstkin has been
since Monday. His troops. it is understood, are
not entering the city. but taking up pre-
pared positions around Moukden-
While there is no specific information this
point, the general staff believes that only a
small rearguard Is In the neighborhood OF Yen
tsi no further fighting Of Importance is ex-
pected south OF Moukden. The critical stage is
regarded as having passed. and the announce
rnent was made this afternoon that the War
once would no longer give two bulletins
each Day.
According 70 the War oflce's calculations. the
whole Russian army should reach Moukden to-
morrow night Generals Kuroki and Ruropat-
kin have been marching norrhward along par
anel lines both armies being greatly hampered
by heavy roads the japanese in a rough region
and the Russians along fat country, but en-
oarrassed by the high Chinese corn, which pre-
vents marching on the side OF the main roads
No difficulty is being experienced al the Hun
River. & few miles south Of Moukden, whare
bridges had been provided for crossing the
stream. There has been constant fighting al
the Russian rear and along the eastern wing.
but, so tar as known by the War Office. nothing
Of Importance has occurred since the retreat
began.
The general staff naturally is reticent about
Europatk1n's plans. especially whether he in
tends 70 stop ar MOul1den- His decision proba-
bly, viii depend upon the intentions Of the jap
anese. Contingent preparations viii probably
be made 20 evacuate Moukden. and there is
some evidence that Kuropatkin, II compelled 10
90 north. win make a stand at Telling where
the Russians wintered last year. Telling is
about thirty miles north Of Moukden. At this
point there Is a narrow defile. with the Lao
River on one side and mountains running almost
down 70 the railroad on the other. Steps
being taken 10 guard against a possible at

as the Russian press begins 70 realize more
fully the catastrophe which General Kuropatlcin
avoided al Liao-Eang and the sk!lfuI manner
IN which he upset Field Marshal Cyama's plan
10 surround the Russian army they take a
more cheerful view OF the result and are be-
ginning 70 bestow upon Kuropatkin great
praise. Il is now apparent that Oyana's pur-

TOXIC OFFICIALS SILENT
No Nezcs about KurOki GjUeR Or-+
Long WGr Predicted.

Toxic. Sept. THE general staff has not yet
made public any details Of the battle OF Lao
Yang The people are still celebrating the vic
tory but there Is considerable speculation over
the official silence regarding General Kuroki's
movements since Sunday
The "IIokumin'' says it learns on good au-
thority that Kuroki, after taking the heights
near Hei-Ying-Tai, about fifteen miles north
east OF Lao Yang, occupied line from Yentai
10 the mines by hot pursuit of the Russians on
September and ).
The Russians who We're said to be concen-
trated twenty miles north of Lao Yang, ara
now retreating in the direction Of Moukden.
The pursuit was obstructed by the high mIllet-
Il is reported that the Japanese. uotwith-
standing the ravages Of fire. captured vast ac-
cllrnulations of Russian food ana ammunition
at Liao-Yang.
The 'Nichi Nichi" says it thinks the Japanese
casualties may exceed those of the Russians,
owing TO the latter having occupied fortified
positions In superior numbers
The report that the Russians have occupied
Hsin-Afin-Tun. about thirty miles west of Mouk-
den. is denied. A large force of Chinese bandits
is displaying activity in the vicinity of Hsin-
