LOSSES OF 10000 ON BOTH SIDE.
Strong Argument for Peace In Awful
Tragedy.

Tokio.-There is strong appeal for
peace in the appalling tragedy which
is now under enactment in Manchuria.
Both armies have fought ferociously
for a week. and desperate fighting still
continues. 1t is probable that the
death roll will be largely increased
before the final shot Is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate
that about 10000 men on both sides
have been either killed or wounded,
the larger portion of them being Rus
SLAMS. since the armies OF the two
belligerents closed In combat. Even
the Japanese. to whom the great VIC
tory is Of paramount importance. seem
to be shocked by the slaughter Of their
enemies.
The Japanese people are receiving
the news from the field Of battle calm
ly, and there can be heard no sho"'"
in the streets proclaiming the victory
of their nation.

Russians Penetrate
japanese Lines

st. Petersburg, Oct. 19.-News from
the front tonight is more reassuring
form the Russina standpoint.ss The sit
uation is still regarded as being criti-
CAL. but General Kuropatkin is .appar-
emily holding the Japanese firmly on
his center and right wing, even having
recrossed the Shakhe river. and, while
there are rumors of extensive Japanese
thanking movements, both on the west
and on the east, there is no evidence
that they are actuall occurring.
General Kuropatkin's left has been
heard from. The Associated l'ress has
the first connected report Of the four
days fight in front of Tumen and Salt
choun passes, resulting in the final
withdrawal Of the sstrong Russian col
umn, which had been sent to turn the
Japanese right, though General Mist
chenko seems to have actually pene-
trated considerable distance inside
the Japanese 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 form this
column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly ad.
vanced his center, ,reoccupying Shakhe,
south of the Shakhe river. Directly
behind him at distance Of nine miles
lies the Hun river and across the
bridges spanning this stream the Rus
sian must retire in case they retreat on
Mukden.
General Kuropatin must continue to
firmly hold his center and right flank
in order to prevent the Japanese get
ting possession of the Hun river
bridges. Thus he will cover the with
drawal of his apparently beaten west
wing.
There is still considerable uncertain.
ty as to the disposition of this column.
Certainly it has not returned to Muk-
den; whether it is again advancing at
ter its withdrawal is not known. 1t is
no longer question Of Russian Se-
dan. although all hope of relieving
Port Arthur must be apparently aban-
doned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro.
patkin will continue to advance.

$4,6GO.0 900 loaned to the Louisiana Pur-

debt exceeded those Of the preceding
year, and amounted to $699, ,66O,941 in
the receipts and $685.. S.924,579 in dis

292.69O, and the aggregate disburse-
ments $1,22l ,326,701.

 Labor Unions Have Rights.

Our employees have admitted that they were mistaken and we were right" said MT. Downey. T am not an enemy of labor, and l want every laborlng nan to get fair play. Labor unions have as much right to exist as our organization"
 Percival De Witte Oviott of Rochester, N. r., spoke in part as follows:
 When the protests and the indigna- ton of either capital or labor assume such gigantic and ominous propositions as we see i~ our country at the present time. men feel vaguely but instinctively that a crisis Is approaching. Two mill lions and half of men are banded into one grand army of attack upon principles which have hitherto been free from ques- ton. The right to learn a trade, the right to employ a willing servant or to enter the service of a willing employer, the right to market ones product where one may find a ready market-all these have been ruthlessly disregarded when they impeded the lines of this imaginary progress.
 Let it be clearly understod that you are not hostile to such labor organiza tions as attempt to elevate mankind by proper legal means.
 "Imbued by such ideas and principles, you will be backed by the approval of an interested public by all save the civic federation, an organization which at stated periods holds a banquet. Even the most hopeful among you has probably
