oniea was the sort of woman who
would shrink away and be lost to the

see that the girl would say that it was
the only way to act and that she
would sacrifice both the child and
herself; therefore It was imperatiyely
necessary that she should know moth

KUROPATKIN RETREATS.
Bulk of Russian Army Reported
North of Liao-Yang.

ST. Petersburg Aug 1o.-Again the chance of
a decisive battle between General Kuropatkia
and the commander NJ the japanese armies
seems to be disappearing. According to state
ment issued by the general STAFF tonight. rains
are again falling over wide area in Manchurie,
with the prospect Of impeding operations. but
even more important is the information reaching
The Associated Press tonight from eXcep
tional source that the Japanese once more haze
delayed too long.
General kuropatkin has withdrawn the
bulk of his army safely north of Liao-Yana,
leaving only a strong guard line southeast
Of Liao-Yang 70 contest the advance when it
comes.
According to this information. the Japanese
have about three hundred thousand men in the
armies operating against General Kuropatkin.
rendering it too hazardous for him to risk a gem
eraI engagement.
The general staff has no information bearing
on the reported presence of large force of Jap
anese at Paithuho. place that cannot be located
on available maps.
Emperor Nicholas to-day received dispatches
from General Kuropatkin. dated August S and
9. mentioning a few minor reconnoissances and
saying that there has been no particular change
the positions either the eastern or south
ern fronts. On the south the japanese advance
posts are nine miles north OF Hai-Cheng. There
are daily fusillades between the Russian and
japanese outposts.
General Kuropatkn1 points out the fact that
the Japanese are using bullets of different cal
FIBRE. some with nickel and others with copper
coverings. showing that their reserve men are
now IN the fghting line.
Other advces received at the War Office to-
day indicate the concentration of the japanese
armies east OF Si-Mo-Cheng. which is inter
preted as showing the intention to press direct
on Liao-Yang in an attempt to cut off An-Shan-
Chan. The advance on Moukden is apparently
not OF serious character.
Nervousness seems to be increasing here
since the occupation by the Japanese of the
| Wolf Hills before Port Arthur. 1t Is admitted
that the beseigers have elevated position
whence guns command the fortress. and
while stil@ protesting confidence that General
Stoessel Will be able to hold out with his com

GhiCkasaW Schools
Beck Talks About the
Work Done

Ardmore, l. r., Nov. 27:-Prof.
George Beck, supervisor of schools
in the Chickasaw Nation, in speak
ing OF school work in this nation
today said:
"Of the 100000 appropriated
by congress for the support of
schools in Indian Territory, one
fourth has been appropriated to
the Chickasaw and Seminole ma
tions. This is the first school
fund that the Indian Territory has
ever had appropriated and the
work of org ganization has had to be
done entirely since September,
which has entailed vast amount
Of work and some little delay. All
the money will be used for the
support of the schools in isolated
rural districts, where free schools
have never been known before.
The teachers employed under me
are paid from SIS to $50 per month
and in many instances this amount
is being supplemented by from SIS
to SIS by the patrons of the school.
Conditions in the Chickasaw
Natien are different from the other
nations. The Cherokee, Creeks
and Choctaws have accepted plan
of cooperation by which the In
dian and white pupils attend the
same school and the appropriations
OF the Indian government and Of
the United States government are
used jointly in the payment Of
teachers. While in the Chicka-
saw Nation the Indians have stub
bornly refused to co-operate, they
maintain that such co operation
with the whites is prohibited by
tatdtory law, but during the re-
cent session of theChickasaw legis-
lature no effort was made to amend
the law. The Chickasaw schools
remain exclusive, although Chick
asaw children are allowed to atteud
other schools for which the tribal
allows thesum of 81. so
per month.
"There are in the ChickasawNa-
ton almost one hundred free
schools and the grade of work that
is being done is very commendable.
The next session of congress will
be asked to appropriate half mil
lion dollars for the support Of pub
lie schools in Indian Territory, and
in my judgment every penny of it
could be used judiciously."
Prof. Beck says that the Indians
IN their refusal to cooperate with
whites in maintaining schools, are
great harm to their chill
dren by refusing them the privi-
lege Of mixing and mingling with
the more intelligent white children.

general of the Department of Colorado.
is one of the most distinguished off :
GERS OF the regular army now in active
service. The fact that he was not ap-
pointed to active membership in the

only to his youth. but nevertheless his
appointment was actively urged. he
also won the gold medal offered by the

best treatise on the organization of a

army. Col Sharpe lectures iu Cleve-
