Fighting

S. Petersburg Sept. 5.--It IS reported
here but not yet confirmed that General
Kuropatkin was obliged TO abandon two
hundred guns at Liao-Yang. Some OF
them II is added were damaged In the
fighting and the rest were disabled by
order OF the Russian commander-in-
chief.
st. Petersburg. Sept. 8. It's p. m.--
The feeling OF national grief and dis
appointment caused by General Kuro-
patlSin's unsuccessful attempt to make
a stand at Liao-Yang. deep and Bit
ter as II is, is somewhat tempered by
the development of the fact that the
Russian commander-in-chief had re-
moved the bulk of his stores northward
before the battle. leaving mere shell
at Liao-Ya and that he succeeded in
extricating his army, especially General
lStalkelbergs corps, from the clutches Of
Of the Japanese.
The War Office here believes that the
battle Is virtually ended and that Ku-
roptakin's line Of retreat is open.
While admitting that Kuropatkin
sustained a severe reverse. the War
Office considers that the failure of Field
Marshal Oyama to hold and cut Off
Kuropatkn Is strategic defeat FOR
the latter. The Russian military au-
thorities figure that Oyama had a nu-
merical superiority OF $4,000 men in the
operation against Kuropatkin.
The exact position OF the Russians

Then he laid 1t aside and permitted

When asked for an explanation he
said: We'll, learned that habit some
years ago, and I find that q cigar
which has been lighted and then al
lowed to go out makes a much better
smoke. I take several vigorous draws
In order to bring the heat well through

while it Is saturated with smoke It
has a musty odor; consequently, 1t
is necessary to blow steadily and
quite hard before eItinguishing the

smoke that has been drawn between

cnnsnmption Statistic.

General statements as to the prog
ress made in checking the ravages OF
consumption are always interesting,
but II is much better TO have specific
statistical information upon the sub
ject Vital statistics have been taken
In Massachusetts, since 1912. In all
the years before 1857 the annual death
rate from consumption was nearly or
quite 1000 to 100000 inhabitants.
The rate has declined almost stead
lily ever since. II was about 300 TO
!, 100000 In 1882. less than $500 in
1892, and less than LOCO in 1S02-the
lowest point reached up TO that time.
Corresponding figures for England
show a similar decrease. The system
Of keeping vital statistics has not been
general enough to make sure that all
the states can present as good rec
ord Of progress as Massachusetts,, but
all the facts that are available are en-
eouraging.

YOUNGEST REAR ADMIRAL.
omeer Possessing Distinction In the
United States Navy Is Forty
Three Years Of Age.

The corps Of naval constructors, Unit
ed States navy, is remarkable In that its
ranking officers are so very young COM
pared with the line Of those Of other
corps. This is explained, according to
the washington Post, by the fact that
those who make up this corps are con-
stantly being offered greater induce
ments by large shipbuilding companies
to leave the service for which they we're
educated.
This partly accounts for Washington
Lee Caps, the present chief Of the bu-
reau Of construction and repair, being
at its head at the age Of 4S, the youngest
ohcer ever having the rank Of real ad-
miral in our navy. AS bis name might In
dictate, Read Admiral Caps was born in
and appointed from Virginia. He en-
tered the Naval academy in 1880, and
graduated In 1884, high in his class. for
by the act Of congress, August 5, 1882
only ten Of each class were then retained
IN the service. After tour Of tWoyears'
sea service he entered the construction
CORDS. where he was advanced from the
bottom to the top.
While Rear Admiral Caps entered the
service as late as 1880, all Of the q real
admirals Of the line can date their serY-
ice TO before or during the civil war.
