TWO THOUSAND MEN LOST
EACH DAY FOR NINE DAYS

Mukden, Oct. 19.-The fighting of
October II was confined to the Rus
sian center at Shakhe river and was
mostly artillery fire, the Japanese u.s.
ing big guns and high explosive
shells. During the nine days of con-
tinuous fighting the losses were new
er less than 1000 per day. The hos
pitfalls are hardly able to handle the
wounded. Nevertheless they have
performed wonders.

has been cheered by a report that
General Kuropatkin has resumed The
offensive and by the news of the de-
feat of the Japanese command of Gen
eraI Yamaga and the capture of Lone
Tree hill, which is represented to be
the key to the position on the south
west fronts of the contending armies
If the report of the advance is anthem
tic and the Russians have crossed to
the south side of the Shakhe river, a
later rise in the stream may have pro-
duced conditions seriously threatening
the failure of General Kuropatkin's
plans, for, it is believed, the advance
force will be cut off from the reserves
and the base of supplies and retreat
rendered pfOblematical. It is, how
ever, questionable if the advance
movement had proceeded to the point
indicated,

Changes Too Swift.


The kaleidoscope changes on the
Shakhe have been too swift for the
populace to follow and so the bitter
news from the front has been so far
taken with comparative quiet. In
the best informed circles, however, it
is already accepted as true. It is
believed that General KUropatkin in
tended to signalize the czarevitch's
fete by victory just as Grand Duke
Nicholas did at Plevna.
Planned Timely Victory.
The Associated Press hears on
good authority that the emperor has
received a telegram from General
Kuropatl1in reporting that the Rus
SLAMS are moving forward The re-
verse sustained by General Yamada's
column has not yet been reported by
Generals Kuropatkin or Sakharoff,
except in reference to an unsuccess-
flrl Japanese attack near Shakhe
The Associated Press Mukden dis
patch evidently refers to this affair
in reporting that the Japanese left
has been beaten Off with terrible loss
and it's retreat cut off by Russian
army corps. Another Associated
Press dispatch from Mukden confirms
the news of the Russian advance.
May Be Serious Consequences.
There is no official confirmation
here of the report from Toxic that
the Russian attack on the Japanese
right October II was repulsed. If
this report should prove true, it may
involve serious consequences for the
Russians who crossed the Shakhe
while the river was fordable. Ac-
cording to the Associated Press Muk-
den dispatches the water has since
risen man high in consequence of the
heavy rains and therefore it will be
well nigh impossible for the Russian
army to recross the river, owing to

No Cessation in Sight.

There seems to be no immediate
prospect of cessation of the fighting
that has been in progress for the last
ten days, although there are signs
that on both sides the supply of am
munition is falling short, and that the
limit of endurance in the troops must
have been nearly reached.

JUDGE PARKERS APPEARANCE.

Judge Parker is six feet tall and man

horseback riding, are the muscles of an

weight of 1876 pounds his step is as light

large and of an asreea BILE brown; lionlke
eyes but for the kindly expression. One
notices the eyes first and then the inn

The lower part of the face is heavy, but
not brutal. 1t has powerful line and out
ward thrust that suggests tremendous will
power. The mouth is large and masculine,
with thick lower lip. The upper leeth
are big, Hat and white. The lower teeth
are smaller. The coarse, tawny mustache
goes we'll with the brilliant brown eyes
and the reddish-brown hair.
The Judges nose is aquline. He has
high cheek bones, but the characteristic is
not marked. His high. broad forehead
slopes back without bump. 1t is "A sim

tratlon, observation. ambition and energy.
The block head is not large and is some
what straight so that it does not balance
with the great jaws and the fighting chin.
Nowhere in the face or head is there
a suggestion of craft. Nor is there any
thing sidewise or sly in the eyes They look
at you straight. The practical and logical
dominate the imaginative qualties-im-

wrinkles between the eyebrows and
the smooth forehead Indicate a man
who can concentrate his mind without the
great effort which contracts the facial

Judge Parker dresses we'll. and always
in dark colors, usually grays. His ol1li-
nary attire is cutaway coat of rough
gray cloth and gray trousers. He wears a
standing collar and a simple black cravat,
