STILL CRITICAL
RUSSIANS NOT WITHOUT Hore
kuropatkin Firmly Holds Right Wing
Russian Center Slightly Ad-
vaneed-Tryins to Cover Rereat Of
Left Win0.

Left Wing.
ST. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-3:15 a. m.
The news from the front tonight is
more reassuring. from the Russian
standpoint. The situation is still re-
garded as being critical, but General
Kuropatkin is apparently holding the
right wing. even having recrossed the
Shake river, and while there are
rumors of extensive Japanese flanking
movements, both on the east and on
the west, there is no evidence that
they are actually occurring.
General Kuropatkin's left has been
heard from. The Associated Press has
the first connected report of the four
days fight in font of Tumen and Salt
chou passes, resulting in the final with
drawal OF the strong Russian column
which had been sent in turn the Japa-
nese right, though General Mistchenko
seems to have actually penetrated
considerable distance inside the Japa-
nese line. The report of the operations
of the Russian left wing is still three
days old, and since that time no news
has been received tom this column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows:
General kuropatkin has slightly adj
vanced his center. reoccupying Shakhe,
south Of the Shakhe river. Directly be-
hind him at distance of nine miles lies
the Hun river, and across the bridges
spanning this stream the Russians
must retire in case they retreat on
Mukden. General kuropatkin must
continue to firmly hold his CEN
ter and right flank in order to prevent
the Japanese getting possession of the
Hun river bridges. Thus he will cover
the withdrawal Of his apparently beaten
east wing.
There is still considerable uncer-
tainty as to the disposition of this left
column. Certainly it has not returned
to Mukden; whether it is again advance
ing after its withdrawal is not known.
1t Is no longer a question Of Rus
sian Sedan. although all hope of re-
lieving Port-Arthur must apparently be
abandoned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro-
patkin will be able to advance
The four-days' fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate char
acter that marked the operations OF
the center and right wing. A heavy
Russian column under such leaders as
1vanhoff, Rennenkamp. Garngross and
Kondratovich repeatedly assaulted
strongly intrenched Japanese positions
on heights commanding the passes. The
assaults were largely night work. The
cannonade was so furious that it was
impossible to advance in the light Of
day.
Finally, on October 18th, when the
passes had been actually occupied, came
the order to withdraw, probably owing
to critical position at other parts Of
the front Here the story of the opera

OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.

In our speech in New York. before the
American Bankers Association, we spoke
as banker TO bankers, as a business
man 20 business men. That the facts
stated are true admits of no question on
the part of intelligent, business men, be
they white or be they colored. The OBJ
noxious color line is not discernible in
oar business relationship with the
white business men of the South.
A colored man who makes a point TO
keep his credit above par, by meeting
his obligations promptly and caring
for his outstanding paper is always ac-
corded hearty support by white men
of the business type, who haven't the
time to indulge in race prejudice or to
consider whether the person giving
them trade belongs TO the much abused
race of the Southland.
But when you come to the lower
strata of the white humanity, you find
the anarchistic tendencies that breed
lynchings, stake-burnings and other
barbarous practices. The better class
OF white and colored people are endeav-
oring to form an alliance for the stamp
ing out and the obliteration Of these
evils.
The loafing, insulting, good for moth
ing Negro elements are an abomina-
ton. They constantly handicap the
better class of colored people, who are
endeavoring to improve their condi-
ton.
1t is partially at least to relieve our
selves of ''the body of this death" and to
disclaim our responsibility for their
folbies and folles that we at times ioin

JAPs CAPTURE six MORE FORTS
Russians Fought Desperately In Sec
ond Defenses at Port Arthur.
Story of Three DAYS, Einhtinn

eO' " iuFCc Lays fiQnIlnQ.
Chefoo, Sept 26.-As result OF the
battle before Port Arthur. which began
on September 10, the Japanese sue
ceeded in capturing several important
positions, and today the Russian tenure
of the big forts guarding the north.
northeast and northwest sides of the
town is seriously threatened. Chinese
information places the Japanese losses
under 5000 for the three days fighting.
and this comparatively small casualty
list is due TO the excessive care used
by the japanese in making their prep
arations for the advance. Russian
sources, however, claim to have infor-
nation that the Japanese losses were
unusually severe. amounting to fully
three times the number mentioned
above. Possibly the most important
capture during the three days lighting
was that of Fort Kuropatkin, which.
while OF minor value with regard 10
preventing the entrance into the town
or the japanese, has been constructed
for the purpose of protecting the source
Of the garrison's water supply. The
control of this water supply is now in
luC vi the Japanese.
At o'clock of the afternoon of the
goth the Japanese captured a sup
Elementary fort, which from the lower
ground threatens the fort on liz noun
tain. This ended the heavy fighting
for that day. although the Japanese
later were compelled to resist severai
sorties
During the night the heavy lombard
ment OF the Russian positions contin-
ued, the Japanese fire being directed
with particular vigor against another
supplementary fort 5000 yards TO the
west OF the fort on Itz mountain, and
regarded as highly important because
of Its bearing on the ItZ and Anshu
mountain forts. The next day. after
having pounded this position unmerci-
fully and until its fire had slackened
visibly, the Japanese delivered their
assault. They met with a stubborn re-
sistance. They were exposed to the
fire of machine guns and rifles and
they made frantic efforts to reach the
crest of the slope. They leaped over
trenches and entertainments and tore
down the entanglements in their path
until at length they entered the fort.
The Russian troops there refused to
desert their position, even in the face
of the superior numbers which con-
fronted them, and desperate hand-to-
hand fighting occurred inside the fort.
Eventually almost The entire Russian
garrison were either killed or badly
wounded.

JAPS CLOSING
In ON MUKDEN
Line Sixty Miles Long Threatens
Kuropatkin's Flank.
HE MUST FIGHT OR RETREAT

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-The latest
development in the situation at the
front is the definite establishment that
Field Marshal Oyama has now begun
TO move up his left General Kuropat-
ktn's report shows that the japanese
have reached Davan, on the west bank
OF the Lao river. A considerable con-
centration of Japanese is observed at
Sianehan, on the Hun river. 80 miles
southwest of Mukden, and Japanese
cavalry is massing in the valley of the
Pu river. The latter is a tributary of
the Hun river, which crosses the line
OF railway midway between Tie Pass
and Mukden, and may furnish a nat
ural line of advance from the west.
Oyama's armies now apparently cover
front of 60 miles for enveIoping
movements. Pts wings are extended
to the north, east and west of Mukden.
hus far the Russians have found lit
tie strength or pressure from the Japa-
neSe center. Oyama seems to be NOV
ing with great elaboration, probably
gathering strength for a rapid advance
of both wings when an attempt is made
to close the net. Although the imag-
mary line connecting the extreme Jap
anese advance east and west of Muk-
den still passes 10 miles below that
city, it is evident that the fate of Muk-
den cannot long be delayed. II General
Kuropatkin intends to try to hold the
city, fighting on his TANKS will begin
almost Immediately.
The Mukden telegram to the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger, reporting that the
Japanese had crossed the Hun river 50
miles above the city, is believed to
refer to scouting parties of japanese.
whose presence there was recorded in
the Associated Press dispatches of Sep
TENDER 26.
The movement of Japanese forces on
the Lao river, which was reported in
dispatch from General Sakharoff TO
the general staff on September &c. is
all the more significant, since Sianchan
is the starting point Of roads leading
to Tie Pass, Mukden and Sinmintin.
The announcement that the Russians
are fortifying Fakoman, % miles north
east OF Mukden, shows that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to check the
hanking movement on Tie Pass from
the west in case Sinmintin should have
to be evacuated.
The entire absence Of news from Port
Arthur, 1t is feared, indicates a closer
blockade there. Hitherto dispatches
from General Stoessel have been com
ing through semi-weekly.
