st. Petersburg, Oct. 13.-153 p. M.
The Russian and Japanese armies
wrestling below Mukden seem now to
be definitely locked in a death strug.
gle for the mastery.
Field Marshal Oyama is countering
General Kuropatkin's thrust at the
Japanese right by an advance against
the Russian right. The situation, on
| a much larger scale, resembles that
of Vafangow, where General Stakel.

sive again this morning No word
has come regarding the operations of
the Russian turning movement on
Oyama's right, on which the success
OF Kuropatkin's plan of battle seems
to depend. The war office explain
ing that reports from this point had
not reached Kuropatkin when he sent
his dispatch and, consequently, infor-
nation is lacking of the operations at
the very point where all eyes center
and where the heavy blow was evi.
IDENTIFY aimed. The strength of the
force with which Kuropatkin has un.
dertaken this turning movement has
not yet developed.
Altogether the news this morning
is not completely reassuring. The
Novoe Vremya voices the prevailing
sentiment saying:
"Kuropatkin is a cautious leader,
and 1t Is taken for granted that he
weighed well the risks before under.
taking the wide turning movement.
We probably shall have to wait long
and weary hours before knowing the
result Of the all-important battle now
begun"

MERCHANTS FORM COMBINE.
In Order to Fight for Reduction Of
Freight Rates.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 13.--In an in
terview with Norman Johnson, who is
at the head of the Retail Merchants
association of North Carolina, he says
he has never seen anything grow so
rapidly, the present membership be-
Ing $500, while eighteen months ago
1t was under 400
He also says that the association
has abated a great many trade abuses,
and that it will make a fight for a
reduction of freight rates, the aboli-
tion of the merchants purchase tax
and a collection law. The Manufac-
turers and the Wholesale Dealers
association will, in connection with
the Retail Merchants association,
make the fight before the legislature
to prosecute freight matters; that is,
complaints, overcharges, ETC., before
the corporation commission.

Mullden, Oct. 13.-The battle south
Of this place continued throughout
Wednesday with ever increasing fury
In respect of desperateness, bravery
and bloodshed, 1t far exceeds even
the battle Of Lao Yang. Towards
evening the Japanese repeatedly as.
sumed the offensive. The fight con.
tinues today with unabated fury and
determination. It is now the fourth
day Of the battle.

Fusan, Oct. 13.-During the night the
Japanese occupied the hills, held by
the Russians on the right and center

a distance of miles. The japanese
infantry advanced within 1900 yards
of the Russian line at noon and de.

Toxic, Oct. 13.-9:45 a. m.-Field
Marshal Oyama reporting from the
field Wednesday afternoon, expresses
satisfaction at the progress of the op-
erations and fighting between the Tai
tse and Hun rivers. The center and
right armies have made substantial
gains while the left army was des-
perately struggling to envelope the
Russian right. Field Marshal Oyama
dispatched two kilograms, the first of
which said:
"On the morning of Oct. IL the CEN
trail column Of the right army at 5
O'clock coupled Lokoulin mountain
and the northern heights of Pachetzu;
the left column of the right army oc-
cupied the northern heights of sha.
koutzu and continues to pursue the
enemy's central column. The right
army succeeded in occupying Maer
mountain. The central army, begin.
ming operations from midnight Oct.
IL, reached the heights extending
from Sanchiatzu to Sankaushihi
mountain, on the northwest and is
probably pursuing the enemy. The
left army continues to attack the en-
emy along the Schili river and at
Lung Wang Mao and Wu1ichieh since
last night, but has not yet attained its
object At present, aided with rein
forcements, the left wing Is trying to
enyelop the enemy's right flank by
means of a rear engagement in the di-
rection Of Penzihu and the fighting
continues. Judging from the above
state Of affairs, the operations in those
directions are proceeding favorably

The second message was as folliws:
"In an engagement at midnight on
Oct. II, we captured two field guns
and eight ammunition wagons. Major
Muri was wounded and one colonel
was killed"

She didn't lose a word, but chased her

Although. according to a member of the

LOST LIKE A PRINCE.
THE GAMEST LOSER THAT EVER
STRUCK GAMBLING JOINT.
Got Rid of SIS, 900 in One Hour and
Then Went Back to Herding
Sheep on Ranch in
Wyoming.

There's no way of telling in advance
how mans going to take mis- complete
wlping out in a same of chance" said a
Wyoming man to a Washington Post re-
porter. I've seen men OF long-tested
gamenesS go all 20 pieces after big los
ings; seen them suddenly struck speech
less, as weak as children, with their lips
trembling, like those OF women. who are
about TO cry. On the other hand, I've
seen chaps with low foreheads and weak
chins and regulations for crawfishing
and backing WAFER in tight places, stand
four-square TO the finishing wrenches
Oh long runs OF oevlilSh luck and take
their bitter medicine with hearts appar-
emily as brave as their faces were weak.
The gamest loser l ever saw was a
sheep herder, who didn't look to have
enough character to stuff a gnat pelt. He
was punching sheep on the Idaho sage
| ranges for SIS a month and his grub.
when an aunt in the east whom he had
scarcely ever heard of much less seen,
died and left him $4,000 He didn't
have to come east to get the money; a
| lawyer handed him the bundle in Po-
| catello. He went to Bud McGrath's faro
| bank and told Bud that he wanted to
make few $1,000 bets. McGrath told
| him that he'd better hang on to his coin.
The herder told Bud that he wanted ac-
ton on his money, and that if he couldn't
| get 1t at McGrath's layout why, there
were others. So McGrath dealt them
| from the box himself. with 81 900 lin
it. l saw the whole play. 1t lasted only
40 minutes. The herder wasn't in it al
any stage of the route, and the game was
on the level beyond all doubt Coppered
or open, the herder couldn't land right.
1t was the fiercest run of evil luck l
ever saw man have at faro bank.

Electro-Magn et in Surgery.

At Salt Lake City, Utah, a nail was
drawn from a point close to the heart
Of Louise Cherry, age 16 months, by
means of an electro magnet. The
child put the nail in its mouth two
weeks ago, while play:eg on its back,
and drew 1t into one of the bronchial
tubes. The exact location was dis
severed by means of an X-ray skio-
graph. DR.. A. ]. Hosmer, who per-
formed the operation, decided 1t would
be fatal to cut through the lung. Ex-
periments on dog showed 1t impos-
gible to extract the nail by ordinary
instruments. A long, curved piece of
steel, attached to a powerful electro
magnet, was pushed down the wind
pipe. AS soon as the current was
turned on the nail became attached to
1t and was withdrawn.
