HEAVY FIGHTING
IN RUSSIAN "REMINISCENCES
Not Likely to Fight at Mathematician
Russian Position Now at
lie Pass.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-Late yes
terday q dispatch was received from
General Kuropatkin announcing that
Generals kennenkampff and Samsonon
are conducting important reconnois-
sances which have resulted in rather
heavy fighting, with many casualties.
From General Kuropatkin's telegram.
which was dispatched at o'clock in
the evening, 1t appears that General
Rennenkampff had recovered from his
wound and had resumed command OF
his troops. The reconnaissance dis
closed a further increase in the Japa-
nese forces at Yentai and Bentziaputze.
The Russians have occupied several VII
lagos nearer the japanese lines
The reconnoissances were toward the
japanese front and right flank, result
ing in the japanese being drive back
The Russian losses, according to q
news agency message. are said to be
slight and 1t Is not clear whether the
many" casualties referred to by Cen
eFal Kurfopatkin ware inflicted or re-
ceived.
While still insisting that General Ku-
ropatkin has SUFFICIENT troops at Muk-
den to contest the japanese advance,
the war ONCE admits that 1t is not
likely q decisive battle will be fought
there. Everything 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.
Omcial reports to the war ONCE are
that the Japanese did not make any
further move toward Mukden until Sep
TENDER 18th. when reconnaissance In
force disclosed that they were still
massing at Yentai and Bentziaputze
No Japanese have been discovered east
of the l1tter point.

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir Among many painful thoughts that
one contemplates the Chicago theatre fire is the
feeling Of shame and Indignation for those who
their better selves and became entirely savage
in that wild struggle for life. The press has
made this shameful phase OF the Incident COHsFCu-
GUS There is a phase o. the matter however.
that has not been sufficiently expressed. The
psychological phenomenon Of panic Involves the
principle OF the struggle for life" But in the
Iroquols Theatre fire surely what DrummonI has
called the struggle for The life OF others" con-
trlbuted 20 the development Of the panic. The
peculiar composition Of the audience. consisting
largely OF children under the care of mothers and
other relatives must be taken :l,o account il any
explanation OF the disaster. Who can toll to what
extent the feeling Us love and rcspols blity tx
TIC little children actuated the mothers in that
shocking struggle 70 escape the impending death2
Those of vino feel in our hearts sulicItude FOR
that tender love and keen sense Of obligation
played their part even in that terrible carnage.
II is debt owe the memory Of the dead to
believe it not altogether the savage and the
selfish love Of life that melted the struggle for
escape. but that impulses the most tender and
human contributed to the fatal frenzy;
