LOSSES HEAVY ON
THE RUSSIAN LEFT.
Gen. sal<haroH Reports Operations
of Wednesday and Thursday.

Gen. SaIkharOff Reports Operations
of Wednesday and Thursday.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 14.-A dispatch
from Gen. Sakharoff dated early this
morning says, regarding the fighting
of Oct. 12 and 13. that the Russians on
the right wing defended their advanced
positions and also portions of the
different main positions. particularly in
the direction of Sialiuhedzy, until
towards evening when Kuropatkin or
dered them to withdraw a short
distance.
In spite of the fact that the Japanese
attacks were chiefly directed against
these troops, they held the ground to
which they retired.
On the left wing after a very obsti-
nate struggle the Russians occupied
the rocky hills, south of Bentsiaputze
and near Bensihu, about eight miles
north of Yentai, but the arrival of large
japanese reinforcements prevented
them from profiting by this success
and as this body was separated from
the rest of the thoops, Kuropatkin
The dispatch reiterates that the Rus
slams suffered heavy losses, but no
details have yet been given out.
A later dispatch from Gen. Sakharoff,
sent at o'clock this morning, explains
more fully the operations of Oct. IL and
Oct. 13, from which it appears
that the Russian center was due
north of the Yentai mines, the right
running west a short distance beyond
the railroad and the left sweeping
southeastward towards Bensihu.
The real bloody work did not begin
until Wednesday when the japanese
made a series of determined attacks
on Sialiuhedzy about seven miles north
of Yentai, but the Russians held off
their assailants. In the meantime,
however the extreme right, COMPARE
lively lightly held, was forced back,
thus compelling Kuropatkin to slightly
draw back his line above Yentai in
order to preserve it's alignment On
the extreme left, after a determined
resistance, the Russians succeeded i'm
carrying the rocky heights and Hua
pass. north of Bensihu, but the arrival
of Japanese reinforcements, Sakharoff
says, made it impossible for the Rus
slams to press their advantage here and
as the left was now too FAR advanced
it also was withdrawn some distance.

Heavy Losses of Men and Guns on
Wednesday,.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 14.-The En-
peror has received the following dis
patch, dated yesterday, from Gen. Ku-
ropatkin:
1.-TWO regiments of the Russian right
on Oct. u sustained heavy losses. The
commander of one was killed and the
brigade commander was wounded
Both regiments were compelled to
withdraw, abandoning their artillery.
but subsequently. under Col. VanNov-
sky, who temporarily assumed COM
mand of the brigade, they, after a des-
perate assault, regained possession Of
the guns, with the exception Of six
teen, which remained in the hands
of the japanese.
The final issue of the battle Wednes-
day on this flank was unsuccessful
for us. on account of a night attack
of the Japanese, who executed turn
ing movement, our troops were forced
not only to abandon their positions
but again lost the guns previously re-
covered from the japanese. Our
forces retired to the position previously
prepared on the Shakhe river"

Chatham, Mass. Oct. IA small
part of the forward section of the hull
and a slanting foremast stood as mute
reminders tonight of the ocean trag-
edy enacted here last night. when the
three-masted schooner Wentworth Of
Moncton. N. b., struck on Chatham

and all on board perished I'm the terrific

With the exception of the loss of the
steamer Portland in November. 1898,
the wreck OF the Wentworth is the
worst disaster that has occurred on
the Cape Cod coast during the last
decade.

OF the twelve persons who were on
board the stranded vessel, not one
reached the shore alive. although two
bodies were rescued from the surf this
morning. one OF them that of "A wom-

There was one answering pull ana
the life-savers thought that they heard
a voice above the roar OF the surf,
crying, "All right" but beyond this
there was no sign OF life on board the

WANT TO HEAD COUNCIL
CERTAINTY OF JONES' ELECTION
STARTS CAMPAIGN FOR THE
COUNCIL PRESIDENCY.

Republicans are so sure of the cleo
tion of D. P. Jones as mayor that al
ready the campaign has started for the
position Of president of the city coun-
Gil, which his election as, mayor will
make vacant. r.. . .-
Henry G.. McLaskey, senior alderman
from the seventh ward and now vice
president Of the council, is a candidate
to succeed to the presidency. McLas-
key comes up as an aldermanic candi-
date for reelection Nov. 8, but he has
little to worry about on this score, as
with one of the strongest ward organi-
cations in the city backing him, he As
sure to succeed himself.
A. E. Merrill, alderman from the
fourth ward, is also out after the coun-
Gil presidency. Merrill's candidacy
appeals more strongly to the business
interests, perhaps, while McLaskey- is
politically the stronger. =
These two men will put up an inter-
esting contest, but in event of a dead
lock between them, there is q; strong
probability that Charles B. Holmes of
the fifth ward will come into the race
as a dark horse.
The Voters league has been asked
to take a hand in the council presi-
dency contest, but the league, while
approaching the fact that the man who
is president of the council has great
powers for good or bad in city govern
ment, is not disposed to take hand in
the affair. H..

PEOPLE FORGET
THEY HAVE SOULS
DIR. s. G. SMITH DISCUSSES IN
CREASE IN CRIME.
He Attributes It to the Grass Material
ism of the Younger Generation and
Says the Best Remedy Is a Genuine
Revival of the Religious Spirit
Penal Methods at Fault.

Crime is increasing in the northwest:
Hennepin county Jail was never as full
as it is at present and Warden Henry
Wolfer, of the state prison, declares
that an addition will have to be built
before spring, if the present over
whelming rate Of increase continues.
"its the yellow newspapers gso;o5 says
at the University of Minnesota; OF
course Professor Smith does not tax
these newspapers with the whole re-
sponsibility, but believes that they
spread the germs of contagion to those
disposed to catch the disease.
"The increase has grown up thru
the Grass materialism Of the country
and the lack of sense of individual
responsibility which the sensational
newspapers foster by printing all the
criminal news in scare-head type,' said
DR.. Smith this morning. "The newspa-
pers would be better if the community
was better, but they will continue to
print the news that the people wish to
read
tional life has forced itself upon OBJ
servers. In Europe life is more safe
than it is in This country. In southern
Italy there are fewer crimes; in London
there were only thirteen murders last
year. When the foreigners come to our
shores as immigrants they are generally
law abiding, more so than the communi-
ty into which they are thrust. The nu-
cleus Of criminal class is in the younger
generation. It is the fault Of the con:
ditions. The country is permeated
with Grass materialism and the new gen
GRAFTON grows up, forgetting that it has
a soul.
"The system Of punishment is also al
fault. What good does it do to SEND
man to prison for thirty days fol
drunkenness and disorder? When he
comes out he is not cured, but is posi-
bly, worse. Prevention and reform are
better than punishment.
HWhat is needed to stop this in
crease of crime is a revival of religion
not the gospel hymn singing variety
but an increase of self-respect. Thu
people must wake up to the fact tina
they have souls. They have forgotten
it, and have no thought except for tn
material.'
