 Therefore two complete corps, Gen eral Stakelberg's first corps and Gen bowskf's fifth Siberian corps. and parts of five other corps are still un- used.
 The dispatch from a correspondent of the Associated Press at Mukden, filed this morning, saying that there was no fighting yesterday and no fir ing during the night indicates that the Japanese are retiring, as the light of fires was seen against the heavens, possibly showing that they were burn ing their stores The correspondent also reports that a resumption of the battle is probable so soon as the roads permit the Russians being everywhere in close touch with the Japanese.
 The Associated Press learns that the reports representing Emperor Nicholas as being Respondent and depressed are far from the truth General Ve- litchko,. who saw him Monday night declares that while his majesty IS greatly grieved at the terrible sacrifice of life he is as firmly resolved as ever that the war must be prosecuted to a successful conclusion, and that he is by no means satisfied that Kuropat- kin, in whom he expressed the fullest confidence, would not be able to turn the tables on Oyama before the pres ent engagement is ended. By General Velitchko, who returns at once to the front, the emperor sent personal message to Kuropatlxin renewing his expressions of faith and confidence

THE TIMID LONGS
PUT TO FLIGHT
BROKERS SOLD THEM OUT
WHEN THEY FAILED TO PUT UP
NECESSARY MARGINS.

That Caused a Sharp Break in the
New York Cotton Market, But the
Leading Bulls Rallied to Its Sup
pOrt-One of Them, Not at All
Frightened, Bid for All July in
Sight and Sent Prices Up Again.
Many Lost Points ReERined.
New York. Jan. 29.-Opening prices
in the cotton market to-day were high
err than last nights closing, with May
and July above the best point of yes
terday. Trading was active and eX-
cited. The initial advance was on bet
ter cables that had been looked for
and reports that cotton was selling
all through the interior last night at
15% cents for middling.
1t became evident, however, soon
after the opening that enormous profit
taking was going on, and prices were
depressed several points from the best,
after which they were rallied by the
firmness in New Orleans and aggress-
i've bull support.
The rally did not hold, and shortly
after noon there was a rapid decline
of from SIS to IS points.
The break was reported to be due
to selling by two large commission
houses with out-of-town wire connec-
lions which held long cotton for
Southern and Western interests. 1t was
said the sales were made because of
failure of correspondents to forward
necessary margins. The decline at
tracted a fresh demand from scattered
sources, and with the weaker long in
terests shaken out, the market rallied
several points on bull support.
The close was sensational. Just at
the last moment a local Spectator
went into the ring and bid for all the
July cotton in sight, running that
month up to 16.1Sc, or within Z points
of last nights prices, while the other
old crop positions were net 10 to 10
points lower, and the new crop months
from 10 to 3S points below last nights
final figures.
The days sales were estimated at
100000 bales.

FALSE EASTERN REPORTS
POUNDED OFF POINTS.

New Orleans, Jan. 29.-The long eX-
pected reaction in the cotton market
occurred to-day, and country longs
went wild in their efforts to liquidate.
Their offerings swamped the market
for a while, and prices went down from
As to SO points. The prominent bulls
were heavy buyers at the decline, and
event at the lowest, buying offers of
a few hundred bales would send the
market UP 10 points.
The alarm was sounded yesterday,
when brokers commenced to ask $40
bale margin.
1t is generally conceded that the false
reports concerning the situation in the
Far East spread about last night were
responsible for the liquidation by the
weak long interest. All futures re-
manned bullish. The movement was
light and the weak insight" figures
were smaller than were expected by
the most enthusiastic bulls. At one
time the May options were 80 points
under the highest level of the morn
ing, but a quick recovery brought them
up until they were only Al points below
the highest level, and only II points
lower than the close of yesterday.
The leading bulls said the drastic
healthier condition than ever, and more
open to further advances than for sew
eral days past.

AT A CHICAGO FIRE.
Thrilling Rescue of One Fatally
Burned Woman.

Chicago, Jan. MISUNDERSTANDING

flame, the tenants of the Masonic Tenn
pie a twenty-story structure, failed
to scare to-day when a fire broke out
in the Cosmopolitan building, adjoin-
ing. The occupants of the Cosmopoli-
tan made a hasty exit.
On the upper stories of the Cosmo-
politan a number of women became
hysterical, and blinded by the smoke,
made efforts to spring from the win
dows. Cooler heads, however, prevent
ed this, and the women were carried
down the fire escapes.

burned that it is believed she cannot
live. Chemicals she was mixing on
the sixth floor exploded and caused the
fire. The woman, in a dying condi-
ton, was carried down a fire escape
by c. w. Randolph. secretary and
treasurer of the Cosmopolitan Light
Company.

rescue of Miss Verba, was probably IA
tally burned and was taken to the
County Hospital.
OF the thirty-five people on the floor
where the fire started, twenty-five
were girls and women. The panic
started with the explosion of the
chemicals and the excitement was in
creased when Miss Verba ran from
the room with her clothing in flames.
Dropping everything, the girls made
a rush for the door. AS they neared
the center of the room, the foremost
of them fell, and the next moment
nearly all of them lay in a heap on
the floor, screaming.
Meanwhile Mr.. Randolph, with Miss
Verba in his arms, had begun to de-
scend the fire escape amidst the cheers
of thousands of people who stood in
the street below. At the fifth floor.
| almost overcome by smoke, Randolph
gave his unconscious burden to Ed
ward Stokes, who carried the girl to
the street.
The total loss is put at SIS 900.

BANCROFT REPELLED
AN ATTACK OF NATIVES.
Shots Were Fired to Scare and Not
Hit the Indians.

Colon, Jan. 29.-The United States
gunboat Bancroft arrived here to-day
from the San Bias coast. She reports
the attitude of the San Bias Indians at
Caledonia bay to be not only unfriend-
ly, but decidedly aggressive.
Last Tuesday men from one of the
Bancroft's boats insisted upon pur-
chasing a few cocoanuts from the In
dians, and paid more than full value
for them. Towards IL o'clock that
night when it was dark, twenty canoes
were seen approaching the Bancroft.
The gunboat turned her searchlight on
the canoes, and it was revealed that
the boats held as many Indians as
could crowd in, probably 200 in ALL
All the men were armed with bows
and arrows, guns of quaint old pat
terms and other weapons. Their faces
were besmeared with paint There is
no doubt that their intentions were
hostile. They hoped to reach and
surprise the ship.
The commander of the Bancroft or
dered the gunboat cleared for action
and her guns We're loaded and
trimmed, ready for use. A quick fir
ing Colt gun was placed near the
gangway and orders were given to the
gunners of this piece to keep up u
ceaseless fire all round the canoes. AS
soon as the Indians heard this rain of
bullets they Immediately began re-
treating towards the shore. The gun
ners were given explicit orders not to
| fire at the Indians. so that the bullets
cut the air and churned up the water
| all around them.
No shots were fired at the Bancroft,
which at once sailed for Colon to bring
| the news.
