How KurOpatkin's Plan Failed.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press
Tie Pass Manchuria, Sept. 10.-The
breakdown of General Kuro's strategy
when he had withdrawn his main
army to the right bank of the Taitse
river after general KurOki had cross
ed the stream above Lao Yang, is eX-
planned as follows
1.-The movement was beautifully
planned. Kuropatkin intended to en-
gage Kuroki push a column up the
right bank and completely isolate him
from General Oku and NodZu on the
other side of the river. Only an acct
dent upset this plan. General Stakel-
berg's corps, which was still on the left
bank, at the exertme right, failed to
stand up against the superior force of
the Japanese. When Stakelberg re-
ported that he was retreating it SEEM
ed to Kuropatkin that a portion of his
army. which had faced eastward, with
the right resting on the river, and the
left unprotected, might be enveloped
by the Japanese in prusuing Stakel-
berg. He therefore drew off and re-
formed his front and the retreat from
Yentai began and continued the rest
of September g, the Russians reaching
Shakhe September 4.
The losses on both side from Au-
gust 26 to September are estimated
at from sixty to seventy thousand
killed or wounded. Many of the killed
and wounded were left behind in the
Chinese corn.
1.-The Japanese are experiencing
great difficult in bringing up supplies
of ammunition.

Japanese Once Uncomfortable.
(By the Associated Press.)

Lao Yang Sept. 9TH via Ten Tsin,
Sept 10.-The Japanese officers were
unable to restrain their soldiers after
six days of desperate fighting, and
footing became general. Last night
the soldiers, in attempting to rob the
missionary and red cross compound,
stabbed DR.. A. NJ Westwater, well
known medical miss Onary in the neck
and hand. This is said to be the first
instance the Japanese soldiers have
been known to be uncomfortable.
The Japanese were welcomed by the
Chinese. but thev abused the good
name which they established in the
Chino-Japanese war. Chinese refugees
are still arriving from the battle
ground where native fortune seekers
are securing the field for treasure.
Most of the dead 1--we been buried,
but broken accoutrements strew the
trenches.

them to our faces, and denied that our
close kisses should impair their white,

fore the annual membership fee has

of firms and not individual buyers.
For instance a firm may have a half
dozen buyers on the market but only
one member is required. This rule
applies to the ''pin hooker" as we'll as
to the legitimate buyer. This move will
shut out the occasional buyer, the man
who slips in and buys few hogsheads

Yesterday there was a heavy break
of tobacco on the market. About 20
900 pounds of the weed was sold.

many piles of wrappers went at low
