SENATOR QUAY VERY WEAK.
His Condition Causing His Friends
Some Anxiety.

Washington. May 6.-Senator Quay
Of Pennsylvania is at his home in this
city and at present has no intention
of leaving here. His physical condi-
ton is such as to cause his friends
some apxiety. He is very weak and,
while he occasionally drives about the
city and on one or two occasions has
visited the departments on official
business since the adjournment of
congress, he is accompanied invariably
by his daughter or an attendant. In
this connection it is regarded as sig
nificant that among the executive ap-
pointments announced during the day
was that of William F. Wright to be
consul general of the United States to
Munich. Mr.. Wright for many years
has been Senator Quay's secretary and
confidential clerk. It Is regarded as
likely that this provision is made for
Mr.. Wright for the reason that Mr..
Quay may feel that his work in con-
gress Is nearing an end.

General Kashtalinsky mentions also
that more than 700 wounded had ar
rived at Fenghuancheng and these may
not be included in his calculations
He made no attempt to estimate the
japanese losses and merely stated
that they must have been colossal.
The magnitude of the Russian losses
had an almost stunning effect on the
authorities and has aroused general
grief, mitigated only by the satisfac-
ton at the bravery displayed by the
Russian troops.

RUSSIAN LOSS is VERY HEAVY

st. Petersburg, May 6.-The Russian
losses at the battle of Kiuliencheng
were 1000 men and 40 officers-far
greater than previous reports indi-
Gated.
This is the official estimate Of Major
General Kashtalinsky, who directly
commanded the division that suffered
the brunt of the attack and whose re-
port was received during the day by
the emperor. Many are inclined to
place the Russian losses even higher.
