ARMY IN TRAP"
kurOpafkin Is Cut Off With
four Divisions.
ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FATAL
japanese Force Will Be Reinforced
with Idea of Dealing Crush
ing Blow to the Enemy.

Lao Yang, Oct. 17.-This city is il
turmoil of excitement over the report
brought in by wounded soldiers iron
the right wing of the japanese arm!
that General Kuroki has caught GENE +
al Kuropatkin in trap, having Gu
him off with four Russian divisions
which he attempted to save, and now
has the Russian commander isolated
and enveloped east of Bensihu. The
general engagement continued all day
yesterday. Russian losses SO far are
estimated at $4,000. The japanese
have also suffered heavily, but no fig.
ures are available.
The bearers of the news of the latest
Japanese tory state that Field
Marshal Marquis Oyama has ordered
vast masses of reinforcements to the as
sistance of General Kurcki to enable
him to execute the coupe as planned.
General Kuroki is pushing the Rus
sian divisions eastward in order to make
their isolation complete and to preclude
the possibility of Russian reinforce
ments reaching them.
The Jap anese are fortifying their po-
sitions to the north. Another of Gen.
eraI kurokl's columns today captured
the Shaotakan hills to the south of
Bentsiaputze alter series of fierce en-
gapements, in which l,200 japanese
and neary 500 Russians fell. An en-
tire battery was captured, and now
the hills, which may be called the key
to the Russian left advance, are in the
hands of the Japanese.
A crushing defeat has been admins
tered to the Russian right by General
Oku at. Yenti. The entire Russian
lines, extending from the Hun river to
the railroad, were driven back 20 miles
with terrible losses on both sides, and
but for the awful punishment suffered
by the Japanese, General Kuropatkin' 8
right would have been completely
crushed. AS it is, the flank is utterly
disorganized and the Russian command
ers are endeavoring to rally their forces
northeast of Changtan.
On both sides in the battle raging
near Mukden there have been euch
losses in killed and wounded as mark
the contest as one of the bloodiest bat
ties in history. Already the losses at
Lao Yang have been approximated,
and the Indications ara that they Will
be exceeded. The Russian advance
has been converted into stubbornly
fought retreat. The result, according
to the Russians, is still to be deter
mined.
On both sides the soldiers have
shown the utmost tenacity and bravery,
and whole regiments have gone down
before the fire of the enemy. In offic-
iai circles of st. Petersburg there is a
disposition to argue that even should
Genarel Kuropatkin be oblidged to re-
tire upon Mukden, his position will be
quite as favorable as it was when the
order to advance was given October 6,
and that, o the other hand, the Jap
anese powers of further resistance will
have been materially weakened.

and often impossible to prevent Iosses
of perishable stores. General Weston
urgently recommends the passage of q
bill by congtess to give authority to
ALI officers entrusted with disburse-
ment of Subsistence funds to hold re-
stricted amounts of such funds in their
personal possession. He says the ex-
igencies of the public service require an
open disregard of the restriction of the
existing laws in cities where the treas
ureT or an assistant treasurer ls located.
He urges legislation authorizing the
ga at public auction of accumulated
subsistence stores in good condition.
General Weston says the problem OF
feeding the army in the Philippines
was difficult one, but sit has been
successfully solved, and subsistence
affairs in the archipelago are now run
with system and economy.
The subsistence department., it is
stated, was able to make contract for
fresh beef for the fiscal year, 1905, by
which an annual saving of over $140,
900 was effected. The running expenses
gradually have been reduced to a min
imum, the report says, and a saving of
more than $40, 200 made in wages of
civilian employees alone.

Fatteninx Reef Cattle.
Prof. W. A. Henry, whose reputa.

cannot be doubtGd, suggests that
American cattle can be fattened upon
must less grain than our feeders gen.
orally give them. He says, that many
feeders in the Western and Middle
States give to their fattening stock
from twenty to thirty pounds, and
sometimes thirty-flve pounds day Of
corn meal, while in England and Scot.
land they seldom use more than six
or eight pounds day. They give with
this from fifty to one hundred pounds
OF sliced roots, usually rutabagas, four
to five pounds Of straw and from five
to ten pounds Of hay. They claim to
send as good meat to market as we
can furnish them, which we may not
doubt but we are not sure that we
can grow the turnips as the corn.

animals fed upon turnips would stand
transportation as well, either alive or
as dressed meat, as those fattened on
corn. Professor Henry thinks ensilage
should take the place in our stock
feeding that roots do in England, and
we do not doubt that judicious use
Of ensilage or some other succulent
food with the corn meal might induce
better digestion so that animals might
be as well fattened. with a less
amount of grain.
