u. p. Leibhardt, superintendent of the
dead letter office, who committed suicide
at his office in Washington, was under
investigation several months ago. The
result failed to impeach his character
and showed nothing that reflected on his
integrity, but it did reflect on the meth
DDS of administration of his bureau. The
report on the investigation has not been
given out officially by the Postoffice De
partment, on the ground that, like all
other reports of inspectors on ordinary
official matters, it is confidential but it
has been known that while showing moth
ing sufficient to warrant removal from
Office, there was considerable to crltlclse
i'll the way of lax methods. Mr.. Ieib-
hardt was Of a sensitive temperament
and the criticisms in the report, added to
physical Affections from which he had
been suffering, probably led to the men
tai condition that prompted suicide.

and he selected Mukden for his head
quarters, because it is favorably stu
ated Oh the railway and on the Pekin
road.
The city of Mukden has an outer
wall of mud, and lofty quadrangle
lar inner wall three miles in circuit,
built of brick, fanked by lofty towers
and pierced by eight gates protected
by lofty brick bastions. This wall, on
which three carriages could drive
abreast, protects the commercial and
official part of the city, and is densely
crowded. Mukden, besides being the
great grain emporium of Manchuria,
is the center of the Chinese fur trade,
and attracts buyers from all parts Of
the world. It is the ancient royal city
of the Manchus, and the former burial
place of the rulers Of China. About
the city and about the tombs centers
the yeneration of China's millions.
Aside from this, Kuropatkin may
not only avoid battle at Mul1den, but
may be compelled to abandon all hope
Of further resistance until after the
winter months. His army, repeatedly
defeated, is badly demoralized, say ru-
mors. Its morale cannot but have
been affected, and though its valor has
been Enthusiastically proven, the task of
again facing the fanatical desperation
of the Japanese might prove too Sc
we're strain. Two months of autumn
remain for fighting. Nevertheless, it
is more than probable that the battle
of Laoyang marks the last important
struggle of the present year. The rains
now prevent operations. The plan
of the Japanese will not develop until
transportation becomes possible over
| the roads. A determined advance on
the part of the enemy will in all prob
ability be followed by a prompt north
ward movement on the part of Kuro-
patkin.
In that event the winter will find

will be centered at Hardin, with the

1t is impossible to ascertain what
has happened during the last week be-
tween Liaoyang and Mukden, except
i'll the broadcast outlines, and even as
to these there is uncertainty. We
know that Kouropatkin has been
withdrawing his army northward but
how far he has taken it we cannot
tell. We know that Kuroki has been
in touch with his rear guard to the
east at least part of the time.
We have had it officially stated sew
eral times that the entire Russian
army was in Mukden or north OF
there, and concurrently we have had
scraps of information to indicate that
the movement was not yet completed.

ty miles of sodden roads, saving his
army and artillery from total disaster
and reached Mukden. Will he make
a stand here, or will his weary army
take UP the march again to position
farther north? This is the question of
the hour. A few miles north is Tie
Pass position adapted by nature for
defensive operations. This, say ru-
mors, is in reality to be the scene of
the next great battle. In fact. a des-
perate battle has already been reported
here, but this is now denied.

The other day there appeared three
circumstantial accounts of the battle
of Liaoyang, telegraphed in by CORE
spondents who had been present. Two
Of these correspondents were with
Oku's, or the LETT, army, while one
was with Kuroki's, or the right, army.
All three of them agree that the battle
was fought with desperate bravery
on both sides. The Russians exhibited
new ability to hold the japanese.
Oku, on the left, assaulted again and
again-on one occasion thrice during
twenty four hours. He lost regiments
at time, yet he kept on.
In the opinion Of the Chicago Trib-
une, if the Japs had tried to take Lao
yang exclusively by direct assault
they would have failed But the flank
ing movement Of Kuroki, who threat
ened to get behind the Russians, COM
PEELED them to evacuate the town. The
critics who have eyes only for Oku's
army, and see it battered and bruised
in it's direct assaults, must not forget
that Kuroki could not attempt his
fianking movement from the east I'M
less Oku should press the south in
sufficient numbers to keep a large
number of Russians employed there,
and so prevent them from being sent
to interfere with Kuroki's flank march.
But the Japanese did not surround
and capture the Russian army That
is q thing not often done.
Kuroki, marching from his bridges
across the Taitze, had twice as far to
so to reach the railroad above LAO
yang as Kouropatkin, who was in
Liaoyang and on the railroad. In ad-
dition, Kouropatlin has steam to in
crease his mobility, while Kuroki must
