MONTANA NEWS.

One of the worst freight wrecks
which has occurred on the Rocky
Mountain division of the Northern Pa
cifc in many years, from the stand
point of delayed traffic, took place at
an early hour Sunday morning about
5 miles east of Garrison, Mont. freight
cars loaded with export shipments for
the orient were piled so feet high,
and the wreckage of two trains is scat
tered along the track for a consider
able distance. Traffic was brought to
a complete standstill, and no trains
were able to pass the scene of the
wreck for Is hours.
One of the train crew, Fireman
Bowman, of an extra east bound
freight, was instantly killed and two
other trainmen were hurt, though not
seriously.
The accident was due to mistake
in constituting the orders on the part
of the engineer of the west bound
freight.
The extra met the original second
section in deep cut, while both trains
were running at high rate of speed.
The impact was terrific, throwing the
debris mountain high, both engines
completely telescoping. 1t was i'm
possible to build a track around the
wreck by reason of the deep cut

AS WAR PROGRESSES.
Summary of What Armies Did Last
Week.

The week opened with news that
the Russian garrison at Port Arthur
was fighting desperately to retake the
two forts which command the towns
water supply. Later it was asserted
by the Russians that the loss of these
forts was not vital, as the garrison
had many wells and springs, and also
a plant for condensing sea water.
? From St Petersburg, Sunday, came
semiofficial announcement that Gen
eral Kuropatkin would be appointed
commander in chief of all the armies
now in Manchuria and yet to be dis
patched there, and that Generals Mey-
erberg, Grippenberg and Linevitch
would command armies under him.
That would give Kuropatkin a rank
like that of Field Marshal Oyama, who
commands all the Japanese forces in
Manchuria, with Kuroki, Oku and Nod
zu commanding armies under him. La
ter dispatches, though, indicate that
there was still some doubt about the
supreme command of the Russian ar
mics.
The Russian scouts lost touch with
General Kuroki's army early in the
week, and considerable uneasiness was
felt in st. Petersburg, where it was
feared that Kuroki had slipped away
on another great fianking movement.
The alarm was short lived, for the
Russians again got in touch with him
a few hours later, finding that his
position had not been materially al
tered.
1t developed during the week that
the main Russian army had with
drawn from Mukden and was concen
trating at Tie pass, or Telling, north
of Mukden. Early in the week the
Japanese were reported to be active
west of Mukden, and there were sew
eral clashes between the cavalry OF
the opposing armies, but nothing more
serious than outpost skirmishes.
A growing belief is reported among
the Japanese people that their forces
will storm and take Port Arthur Oh

Emperor Nicholas received, Thurs
day, General Stoessels official repor
of the desperate four days assault by
Japanese on the forts at Port Ar

= vious reports brought to Chefoo b,
: Chinese escaping from Port Arthur
{ The tone of General StOesseps dis
p. patch was courageous and hopeful
and hope revived in st. Petersburg

First Russian Victory.

The first real success scored by the
Russians has fallen to their lot, &C
cording to dispatches received at the
war department They have won
sweeping victory a few miles north of
Mukden in one of the fiercest engage
ments of the struggle for Manchurian
supremacy, and although the forces
pitted against each other were not
particularly large the victory was none
the less decisive. If the advices re-
ceived by the war department are cor
rect, then General Mistchenko, the
hero of the battles of the end of July,
has secured absolute control of the
country surrounding Flu pass and the
Fusan mines, effectively cutting off
the Japanese from further advance
upon the region of the Yentai rail-
road.

THEY OCCUPIED A FRONT So
MILES IN LENGTH.

Also Retake Yentai Mines-Czar's
Men Score Victory North of Muk-
den.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-General
Kuropatkin's order of the day, an.
nouncing his determination to take the
offensive, is supplemented by the news
that an offensive movement has al
ready been begun and that the Japan
csc line had been broken at Bentsia-
putze. Inc Japanese occupied front
of about So miles, stretching from
BentsiaputZ, on the east, through Yen
tai and across the railroad to the
banks of the Hun river on the west.
The Russian forces had been moving
south in close touch with the Japanese
advance since OCTOBER 4. The Japan
csc outposts were driven back in
series of skirmishes, and on October
6 the Russians reoccupied the station
of Shakhe, Is miles south of Mukden,
the railway battalion restoring the
bridge across the Shakhe river the
next day in order to facnilate the ad-
vance. Meanwhile General Mistch-
enko's Cossacks pushed southwest
ward as far as the Yentai mines, de-
lSdlllS the JAPANESE III a StIlcS Vi
skrmishes.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at
Bentsiaputze. Here the Japanese held
strong and important position, but it
seems they made the inexplicable omis-
sion to fortify the commanding hill
which was the key to the whole situa-
ton. A portion of General Kuropat-
lkin's force made a strong attack on
Bentsiaputze and, taking a leaf out of
the Japanese book, occupied the hill
from the east and flanked the Japan
csc out of the town, causing a serious
loss in the rear guard fight. The Rus
sian casualties are reported to have
been inconsiderable.
While these operations are progress
ing south of Mukden it is reported that
two Japanese divisions under General
Fushimi are marching west up the
Lao river and are now % miles soulA
of Sinmintin. General Kuroki is ex-
pected to make a similar move east
