JAPANESE REPORT.
On Oct. 90 the Great Armies Were
Facing Each cother

General Oku's Headquarters on the
chill river. Wednesday, Oct. 20. 4 D.
M tdelayed)- THE great armies of
Field Marshal Oyama and General
huropatkin still lie facing one an
other, after a week practically devoid
or action. The trenches along the en-
tlre line average only 500 yards apart.
Men are IN the trenches night and day
exchanging shots. Neither side
dares raise a head above the parapet.
1t would be suicidal TO do so. The
artillery searches the lines during the
day and at night the Russians use
searchlights. The lines are so close
that outposts are impossible.
AT night the pickets of both sides
creep out few yards TO give warning
of a sudden attack and retire before
dawn. The nervous tension is reach
ing the breaking point and a great
battle may be precipitated at night by
a single man losing his mind under
the strain. The casualties caused by
the nightly artillery attacks are small
but the moral effect is strong. The
Russians are using searchlights to
sweep the plain between the trenches
at night. This is the first time that
they have been used in field operations
in the present war
General Kur0patlIin has been largely
reinforced since the battle of Lao
Yang. 1t is believed that many new
troops have arrived from Europe. The
japanese are bringing up new men and
a move is expected soon. The Japan
csc despite the hard fighting and ner-
vous strain are in excellent physical
condition. 1t is believed that the next
move viii precipitate the greatest bat
tie Of this war.
Neither side proposes to move until
1t is ready for the struggle on which
depends the occupation of Mukden.

These of the passengers who were

were taken to the company's hospital
in St Louis. The train crews escaped
injury.
The blame, according to Superintend-
ent w. j. Mckee, who went at once TO
the scene of the wreck. rests with the
engineer and conductor Of the second
section. They were running twenty
five miles an hour. when they should
have had their train under control. The
first section of eassbOund passenger
No. 10 was standing on the sidetrack.
and Engineer Ramsey of second No.
says the headlight of No. 10 prevented
his seeing the red light on first No. 5.
The coroner'S verdict blamRs the nag-
man of the first section for not prop
eTly Tagging the second section, and
the engineer of the second section for
coming into the station in a careless
manner and for not having his engine
under control.
