Russian Staff Hopeful.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 8, 2:02 a. NJ
The general staff is not displaying
great anxiety over the alarmist reports
danger of being cut of, but If they had
any information from the front We'd
nesday they have not revealed 1t. The
members also decline to say, even If
they know whether General Kuropat-
kin proposes taking his army north of
Mukden.
An officer of the general staff said,
Wednesday night:
II believe it is safe to say that Gen
eral Kuropatkin's army is now out of
danger. Our advices since Monday in
dictate that the fighting is of an insig-
nificant character and do not believe
that the tired Japanese troops are
capable of seriously threatening the
line Of retreat. The greatest difficulty
our army is now having to contend
with is the terrible road, owing to the
rains OF Monday and Tuesday.
"Our information is that the bulk OF
the baggage has already passed
through Mukden. This is the usual
procedure in case of any retreat"
Kuropatkin's movements, after all,
must depend chiefly on the tactics OF
the Japanese, with whom lies the ini-
tiative. If the Japanese continue to
press north in the hope of cutting Off
the Russians and bringing them to
bay, then Kuropatkin will be obliged
to move north to circumvent them.

Sir r. Farrant tells a good story

He took step toward the door,

who had been stretched near him on
the bench, started up as though pre-
pairing to accompany him.
Stay where you are, lad. These
fasts from sleep will parch your young

But the page advanced with the old
wilful shake of his curly head 81

AS he looked at him, compassion
came into the Ethelings face. The
hollowness of their sockets made the
boys large eyes look larger, and his
fever-fush trebled their brightness.
Sebert said, with a poor attempt at
smile, Little did think that my hos

Something seemed to come into the
young mans throat as he was about
to speak, for he swallowed hard and
was silent. Putting an arm about the
slender figure, he drew it to his side;
and so they left the room and began
to climb the stairs.
AS soon as the curtain fell at their
heels sitting mustiness came to
their nostrils, and chill that was
like the fiat of knifeblade pressed
against their cheeks. They drew

Bread for one more meal; and the

steward answered in a very faint
voice when Morcard put the nightly
question.
Because it was not possible for the
old mans face to record more misery,
the light of the guard-room fire over
which he crouched showed no change
whatever in his expression.
1t was the young lord, who sat be-
side him, that answered. After a
pause he said gently, Go and try to
get some sleep. At least you can
dream of food"
Il have done no otherwise for sem

away to snatch the tongs from serf

fagot upon the fire. At any other
time he would have shouted at him,
but it was little loud talking that was
done within the walls these days.

For time he lay as stark and rigid
as though death had already closed

to become funeral chamber, with

STILL RETREAT
TRYING TO SAVE RUSSIAN ARMY
kuropatkin Moving North on Bad
Roads-Japanese Artillery Fire
Heard at Mukden,

st. Petersburg. Sept. s.-Despite
General Kuropatkin's telegram stating
that he has managed to extricate his
army from its dangerous position, con-
fidence is in no wise restored.
This is shown by another fall OF
three-eighths in consuls. nor do the war
dispatches received inspire optimism.
The situation, summed up, is as fol-
lows:
General Kuropatkin is making ter
ribly arduous retreat with his army,
guns and baggage over vile roads, rem
dered worse than usual by the recent
rains. This retreat is not desired to
end at Mukden, which place is unten-
able. but further north, probably at
Telling.
General Kuropatkin is doing all that
is possible to avoid a fight, which the
Japanese are straining every nerve to
force him to accept.
His first wagons have reached Muk-
den, while from that town can be
heard constant artillery fire.
The Japanese are actively following
the Russian army. 1t is reported the
Japanese are advancing with all haste
both by the eastern and western
roads, while the Japanese forces
known to have gone up the Lao river
remain unaccounted for. They are
probably making it point to inter.
cept the reinforcements and prevent
the general object of Kuropatkin
again to concentrate the struggling
army.
Apropos of this comes the painful
admission that it is impossible to give
any returns of the losses until the
army has been once more concen-
trated. A highly interesting special
published by the Novoe Vremya says:
I'VE are retreating before the enc
my, it having superior force, espe-
cially in artillery, which swamps ours.
How many days longer the fighting
will last l cannot say, as the enemy
is taking the initiative. Now, don't
let us be deceived; we are passing
through heavy days and still more
alarming nights"
The Invalide says: THE Japanese,
after the battle of Lao Yang. have
found themselves in position to force
the fight upon u.s.

London Press Comment.

London, Sept S-The trend of the
view of the morning newspapers on the
war in the far East is that General
kuropatkin's arrival at Mukden does
not solve the problem of his retreat
Where will Kuropatkin stop?" is what
is asked here.
The Telegraph holds that the latest
developments are merely the prelude
to the colossal conflict looming in the
future"
Most of the English critics look for
repetition of the Lao Yang battle at
Tieling, or in that neighborhood
Scarcely any London newspapers be-
lieve that Kuropatkin has brought the
bulk of his forces with him to Mukden.
1t is pointed out that neither side is
likely to risk the desecration of the
imperial tombs by a pitched battle at
Mukden. the cradle of the Manchu
dynasty, and the mecca of all good
Manchus, it is thought, will likely be
respected from motives of policy by
both the belligerents, though COM
paratively pacific occupation of it by
the japanese is forecasted to occur
within few days.
The Standard voices the very preva-
lent idea, namely, that the continued
Japanese silence BODIES i'll for the Rus
slams.
The Morning Post, though confess
sedly unable to sum up the situation,
owing to the absence of Japanese Of
ficial reports, thinks that General Ku-
roki may have crossed the Hun river
to the east of Mukden.
Other critics prophesy that the Jap
anese will occupy Mukden or Telling
as a winter base.

WHY APPENDICITIS?

Why is appendicitis so common to-
day?
Because we have got into the per-
nicious habit of eating too fast.
DR.. Curtis, the great authority on
this disease, says: Appendicitis often
follows the eating of a very hasty, or
particularly large or indigestible
meal"
After carelessly following a foolish
custom, you can ensure your safety by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
It is an accepted, scientific truth,
which admits of no dispute, that II
you will only keep your digestive ap-
paratus in good order, you will never
suffer from this dread disease, which,
at best, means weakening operation,
with long weeks wasted in bed, and
big doctors and surgeons bills to pay
as souvenirs.
Keep your appendix in health by
the proper use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, whenever you have laid your
self open to danger by overeating, and
upon the least sign of stomach or in
testinal trouble, for otherwise, at any
time, this dangerous disease may lay
you low.
The curative influence of this great
medicine is quickly shown in the gen
tie, soothing effect II has on all inf1an-
/ ed conditions of any part of the diEes-
tive tract.
Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets tone all
