NO DECISIVE FIGHT AT MUKDEN
Russian Main Position at Tie Pass-Rus
Feels the Jan Line

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-While still
insisting that General Kuropatkin has
sufficient troops at Mukden to contest
the Japanese advance the war office
admits that it is not likely that de-
cisiye battle will be fought there. Ev-
erything goes to show that the main
Russian position is now at Tie pass,
thanked by hills running out on the
left and by the river on the right Of
fetal reports to the war office are to
the effect that the Japanese did not
make any further move towards Muk-
den until Sept II, when reconnaic-
sances in force disclosed that the
were still missing at Yentai and Benz
siaputZe.
No Japanese have been discovered
east of the latter point. The recon
naissances. General Kuropatkin says,
were brilliantly carried out by Gener-
ais SamEOnoff'S and Rennenkampff's
COSsack brigadeS; with a mixed de-
tachment of infantry and artillery, I'M
der Rennenkampf SpersOnal comm: r0.
They captured village north Of Bent
siaputZc which was used as pivot.
The Russians drew off later, losing a
few men killed or wounded after Sc
curing valuable information regarding
the Japanese strength and position
General kurOpatkin says he has re-
viewed the Thirty-seventh division,
commanded by General Chekmare1T,
which has just arrived at Mukden. 1t
belongs to the First European corps,
of which the Twenty-second division
General AfanaSOvitch. reached Iiac-
yang in time to take part in the battle
there. The appearance Of the newiy
arrived European troops at Mukden,
instead of being evidence of the co1l-
plete Russian concentration there as
many persons hastily assumed, is like
~ due to the decision of General Kurc-
patkin to get these fresh and unteSted
troops in contact with the Japanese.
and give the soldiers who suffered the
brunt of the fighting at Liaoyang an
opportunity to rest and recuperate.

s.l ai < spent a bad day, being too proud to ap- peal to the young woman, and then he got the letter which I had forwarded to him. It was his Yes, or her, Y es, just as you look at it. At any rate it fixed matters all up. She had written it be- fore going to the dance and had slipped it into his pocket while dancing with him, thinking to give him fine sur prise. She did all right but not en- tirely the way she had planned She never supposed for an instant that he had hired his suit, and consequently would not be apt to think there would be anything in the pockets for him.
 Well, after everything was smooth ed over, he confessed and the girl ir- sisted that a pice of wedding cake be sent to me in return for my little part in the affair.
 Sometimes I am unable to return articles found in dress suits owing to natural aversion on the part of the h1rer to reveal his name and address, My wife is wearing a, pretty little ring today which found in the pocket of vest which had been hired by ; young man who would not give his ad- dress, though, as is my custom, l asked for it. The suit was returned by small boy. who gave me a re- ceipt for the deposit and vanished. When went through the pockets I came across the ring, narrow gold band with two diamonds and ruby. and put 1t aside for the owner when he should come after it. But he never came, and as that was six years ago, I don't suppose he ever will.n-From the Washington Post.
