With the japanese clinging tena-
ciously to his flank and with his rear
guard holding the hordes of the Japa-
nese in check, General Kuropatkin is
conducting mastery retreat north
from Laoyang. The Russian forces
are pushing on to Mukden greatly i'm

ed step by step by the Japanesa De-
tails of the fighting and of the exact
position Of the opposing armies are
lacking, but 1t appears that the Rus
SLAMS are not yet out of danger, de-
spite the mastery strategy of their
commander.
Lack of official. dispatches from the
actual seat of war in the far Eastern
struggle continues. 1t is admitted by
the Russian war office that no tele-
grams whatever were received from
General Kuropatkin bearing Tuesdays
date, the last message to the emperor
from the general bearing date of Sept.
8, and briefly telling that the army
was advancing northward, that it had
extricated itself from q dangerous po-
sition. that there was constant can
nonading from the rear guard and the
loss for that day was about 100.
The report that Kuropatkin's rear
guard has been annihilated and that
the Russian forces are in danger of
being surrounded is denied by the
Russian general staff.
The Japanese foreign office in an ex-
tended report of the fighting up to
Sept I says the Russians burned all
the railroad bridges over the Taitse
river and predicts that while the
Japanese list of casualties Is not yet
completed the losses will prove heavy.

CAPE sY JUMPING.

New York, Sept. 5.-Fourteen per.
sons were killed and nearly a score
were injured in fire In a five.story
tenement in Attorney street. The
dead include four women. one man
and nine children, ranging in age from
three months to twelve years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals and it is thought that sew
eral OF these will die. Among the in.
1ured were five firemen who were on a
fourth floor balcony when it fell with
them.
The small number of men among
the killed and injured was due to the
fact that most of the men who lived in
the building follow the Attorney street
custom In hot weather and slept on
the roof, while but few of the women
and children we're there. Those on
the roof were unable to escape by
descending through the burning build
Ing, but they made their way to safe
ty over neighboring roofs. Meanwhile
the members of their families who
had remained in their rooms found
escape cut of and panic reigned
throughout the structure.
The fire started about 3 o'clock in
the morning and there was consider
able delay in sending in an alarm, al.
though the district is one of the most
thickly populated in the crowded East
Side of New York. When the firemen
reached the scene some of the tenants
were jumping from the windows and
from the ends of fire escapes that
reached only to the second floor; 9TH
ers were crouching in the smoke in
the small rooms and narrow halls.
The work of the firemen was greatly
hindered, but over twenty persons
were rescued by them from the fourth
and fifth floors. Many persons re.
ceived injuries by jumping to the side
walk and to the stone paved court

OF Wilkes abnormal ugliness there
was never any question. "The children

And yet his powers of fascination
were so great that women of beauty
and fashion Wed with each other for
his notice, while handsome men of all
courtly graces were neglected.
