KUROPATKIN IN PERIL.
japanese Train Batteries Upon the
Russian Commander.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15.-Ac-
cording to special dispatches received
here General Kuropatkin had a mar
row escape during the fierce fighting
Of Wednesday night and Thursday for
the possession Of Temple Hill and the
double-horned mountain east of the
railroad. With his staff he was per
sonally directing the fighting at this
point. Orderlies were constantly gall
Looping up with reports from other
parts of the field and carrying dis
patches to and from the telephone
and telegraph stations. which were
working behind the hills. This eyi-
IDENTIFY attracted the attention OF the
japanese, who cleverly unmasked
some batteries, the shells from which
burst all around the distinguished
group, compelling General Kuropat-
kin to shift his position hastily and
seek shelter.
It IS understood that General Kuro-
patkin. before the battle commenced
again, designated Lieutenant General
Sakharoff and then Lieutenant Cen
eraI Bilderling TO succeed him in the
command in the event of his being
disabled.

ENTIRE BRIGADE LOST.
Russians Moved Down by the jap
anese Infantry Fire.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15.-The
extent of the Russian loss is partially
indicated by the correspondent of the
Russoe Slovo. who telegraphs that
General Bilderling's corps, holding the
center OF the right, lost almost an en-
tire brigade Of the Third division, in
Guiding a third Of its artillery bri-
gade ,(forty-eight guns), the neighbor-
ing corps being too hard pressed to
offer assistance
General Zaroubaieff's corps suf-
fered terribly before its retreat on Oc-
tober 10, his brigade Of reserves ar
riving too late. Zaroubaieff himself
narrowly escaped, a shell bursting in
side a hut out OF which the general
had just emerged.
General Mistchenko on the left also
suffered heavily. The fighting was at
such close range that his gunners were
moved down by the japanese infantry
fire. The japanese positions which the
Russians were trying to take were sur
rounded on three sides by wire entan-
clements, which cost the Russians
dearly. The japanese in some Instances
abandoned their khaki uniforms,
donned gray overcoats and repeated a
trick they have often employed during
the war. especially in night attacks, OF
yelling out in Russian when discovered.
Friends" This time they crept up to
the Russian positions shouting, Orders
have been given to retreat" but were
soon discovered.

Awful Slaughter on the
Sixth Day Of the
Battle,

MUKDEN, Oct. ia Russian cor
respondent in his story Of the fighting
below Mukden says:
The struggle was resumed to-day at
daybreak, with every promise Of an
other day Of stubborn combat It is
now the sixth day of fighting unprece-
dented in history for the stubbornness
and tenacity shown by both sides.
The fighting on Friday morning was
resumed at o'clock We again ad-
vanced from Shakhe, capturing the ad-
vanced positions held by the japanese
by brilliant attacks by the Epifaniev-
sky and Yukhiovsky regiments. We
reached their second line positions. but
here fierce artillery fire compelled our
troops to halt, and a desperate artillery
duel was commenced. Twelve Japanese
guns were silenced, every gunner being
killed and their infantry support being
driven back The guns stood in plain
view, but it was impossible for us to
take them. Two battalions which were
ordered to secure the japanese guns
advanced in the face Of a terrible can
nonade and rife fire from the japanese
rear positions. It was, however, an i'm
possible task, the shrapnel Of the en-
emy decimating the advancing ranks,
whole companies whitening under the
terrific fire, and our men were COM
PEELED to abandon the attempt
Later in the day a similar fate be-
fell three Of our batteries. They had
advanced behind our infantry to pave
the way for an attack on the Japanese
position, but the infantry was forced
back, the artillerymen were almost all
killed and the guns remained alone.
The japanese made a desperate ad-
vance in the hope Of securing the guns,
but each time were driven of, and to-
ward nightfau we removed the guns
safely.
Our artillery action was beyond
praise. Throughout the day the services
Of the guns and the accuracy OF the fire
were splendid. An entire battalion of
japanese was moved down while at
tempting to advance, the troops fight
ing brilliantly and blood literally flow
ing in streams. Everywhere death
seems to be a secondary consideration.
Toward evening the fighting at
Shakhe abated and we and the Japan
ese retained our respective positions.
Excellent news was received from
the Eastern division on Friday night,
but 1t is so sensational that it seems in
advisable to give 1t out until it shall
have been officially confirmed. We can
only counsel patience. Any hour may
decide the fate Of the battle"

RIFLE PRACTICE
FOR CIVILIANS
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-what will
probably be the most important meet
motion of Rife Practice since that. body
was organized under an act Of Con-
gress several years ago will be held at
the War Department on October %.
The national board is composed of
twenty-one members, including five
from the regular army and navy estab-
lishments. The board was instructed to
formulate plan for a national marks
men reserve, which plan has been
agreed upon and approved by the Sec
retary Of War. At the coming meeting.
1t is expected, steps will be taken for
the preparation of a bill to be submit
ted to Congress.
It is not expected that Congress will
act on all the suggestions of the board
at one time, as the scheme for creating
a marksmen's reserve is very compre-
hensive and begins with the education
OF boys in military schools and pro-
vides for the encouragement OF rife
practice for both civilians and members
of the militia on a large and liberal
scale
The board recommends the establish
ment of shooting galleries and field
ranges, the furnishing OF arms and am
munition, supervision and instruction,
inducements for practice, such as tro-
phies, badges, etc, and publication and
distribution of literature bearing on
this subject
1t is desired that the standard mill
tary rife in use by the Government
should be made available for civilian
practice and it is probable some provi-
sion to this end will be made in the bill
which the board will recommend.
Hundreds of inquiries have been re-
ceived from rifle clubs, instructors at
military schools and individuals as to
how this arm can be procured and
there seems to be little doubt that rife
practice will be stimulated. especially
among civilians, by the distribution of
the Krag rife. The Krag carbines will
soon be discarded by the cavalry arm
of the regular establishment and the
national board will seek to obtain pos
session of them for distribution to mil
itary schools, at the rate of about ten
pieces to each school where army off,
GERS are detailed as instructors.
1t also is proposed that one carbine
for each twenty-five scholars should be
given schools possessing indoor ranges
and carrying on rife practice.

TOXIC, Oct. Is. $3.50 a. m.-Suc-
ceeding reports increase the extent of
the Russian slaughter in the desperate
battle that has ragged for the past
week General Kuroki has reported
that his army alone has buried $500
Russian dead. The reports Of Generals
Nodzu and Oku are incomplete, but
everything indicates that Field Mar
shall Oyama's estimate of the Russian
loss at 10000 men will fall far below
the actual mark. A report dealing
with the Russian losses received dur
ing the night from the japanese field
headquarters says:
The loss sustained by the enemy
opposing our right army so far as
ascertained follows: Bodies left near
Bensihu. on the left bank Of the Tai
tse River, $50; in front of our Bensihu
detachment, 1900; at Talin, 800; near
Tumentsu, 200; before the right
column. 200: near Kouinkok and
north OF Tumentsu, 1900: near Chen
tao, 800; north Of Panlassan and
near Wumingsu, $50; before the left
column near Shaotakou and north
ward. 800: total, $500.
The number left IN other places has
not been counted yet, but II is large.
The enemy's loss in this direction must
exceed 10000.
Among the trophies reported cap
tured are 200 shells. six ammunition
wagons and much uncounted muni-
tons. The enemy's loss in the direc-
ton Of the center and left armies is
under investigation"

the attention of everybody was turned
to the football game. The flag was
hauled down and removed from the

men were fast getting to cover when
the armorer OF the university noticed
that the big q. c. ensign no longer
proudly waved from the fiagpole. He
sounded an alarm and soon saw the
triple cardinal captors making for
the timber.
Professor c. W. Woodwork and two
small boys, Monroe Marliare and Ell

knew that the closely pursued raiders
had secreted their prize in the bushes.
After beating up the brush In the
creek bottom for a short time he
found the flag hidden in the thicket.

home and safely locked up by the
armorer, secure from raidinE SQUAD
