1t seems pretty certain that tn.

Pacific with two smaller and slower
Japanese cruisers sent out to inter.

Concluding this, President Roosevelt
has peremptorlly ordered the Russian
boat to leave within a short time OF
dlsmantle and remain in San Fran
CISCO until peace is declared. 1t is
stated that there are other Russians
OF the Lena type that will soon have
to put into American ports. These
unprotected cruisers were with the
Vladivostok squadron, but as they
could not fight with iron-clads they
were sent out as commerce destroyers
when the Vladivostok fleet was scat.
tered in battle.
There is lull in the Japanese
advance on Mukden. They are
temporarily stopped by the Hun
river, few miles south of the city.
huropatkin is conducting an orderly
retreat out Of Mukden and to the
north. There are rumors in St.
Petersburg that Gen. Nicholas
Nicholaievitch may supersede Cen
erai Kuropatkin at the front.
Nicholaievitch has great fighting
record, made during the Turkish
War. The question of the RESPONSE
hliity for the failure Of General
huropatkin to crush General Ku-
roki on September 2 north of the
Taitse river, which lost the battle of
Llaoyang, throws the blame upon
General Orloff. General Samsonoff.
who commands division of Siberian
Cossacks, was ordered ty General
huropatkin to occupy the Yentai

against Kuroki. During the night
Orloff, with the freshly arrived
European reserve men, came up, and
being Samsonoff's senior, took over
Souinlonu az khAs point. Ine
next morning, before the arrival of
the daily orders, Orioff, on his own
decided to attack Kuroki's
extreme right, and directed Samson
OH to execute a thanking movement
with his Cossacks. The latter de.
clined to do so until he had time to

10 the direction of Tie Pass or farther.
The Russian army's iuferiority, in
men, guns and enthusiasm prevented
Kuropatkin's resisting longer at
LiaoYang or achieving at Yentai a
victory which would have obliged the
Japanese to fall back. The Japs-
nese will shortly triumphantly enter
Mukden. The Russian army will
reconcentrate in the north, but it
needs several months i'm order to fill
up the losses in a number of corps,
which must be doubled, and to re-
place reservists by active troops.
Above all, it is essential to restore
the morale, affected by almost un-
precedented trials and difficulties. A
Russian offensive movement will be
impossible for long time. Should
Russia be determined to continue the
effort it might still van9nish, but at
a cost wholly disproportionate to the
results. As an impartial witness,
am convinced that it would be to the
best interests of the belligerents to
sink national pride and by mutual
concessions end war which other
wise will ruin BOTH"
The troops on both sides are now
resting. The rear guard of the Rus
slams has succeeded in taking most of
its transport and guns through Muk-
den. The Japanese, however, are
reported going by the railroad and a
force under General Kuroki is in the
hills east of Mukden. A st. Peters
burg dispatch says the War Office is
reluctantly disposed to admit that
with the defeat of the Russians at
l-lao-yang, practically all hope of tur-
ming the tide of the war this year de-
parted; that Kuropatkin must re-
tire, await reinforcements and pre-
pare for new campaign next wear.
Advices both from Sc. Petersburg
and Toxic indicate that the belliger-
ents expect the war to last at least
one more campaign, and perhaps two.
Apparently both of them are pre-.
pared to meet the drain both ia men
and money of two years more of hos
Utilities. Should the unexpected hap
pen, and the Russians be prepared to
take the offensive next spring, and
Inlet one or two crushing defeats on
the Japanese, it might be possible
then that the intervention of friendly
powers in the interest of peace would
be accepted by both belligerents.
Otherwise, the war will continue
until one or both are exhausted.

concerned. So Russia must strike
next spring, while all unprepared,
and the chances are largely that she
will continue to be whipped. She
may be of that calibre that don't
know when she is whipped, and will
not stay whipped; but this indei-
niteness will not be permitted by
other nations who are also sufferers
To a man up tree it looks very
much as if the great Bear will have
to take his medicine, call. the game
off, and wait-as only he can wait
for revenge in the future. Some
day may come his day, but-that is
too far off to speculate upon.

SwANsON's HANDS TIED.

Congressman Swanson has been
doing heavy canvassing in this
campaign. Feeling sanguine of no
opposition he had been putting in his
best ticks for Wysor against Slemp,
in the Ninth District. Presuming
upon this neglect of his own fences
the Republicans this week nominated
j. b. Stovall, of Dan vile, to oppose
Swanson in the Fifth District.
Swanson, in consequence, has had to
cancel his engagements and hurry
home. He was doing very efficient
work for the party in the State and
was in great demand.

AN ANSWER.


Is it friends-just friend7
And, like all things, there finds the end?
After all that has passed and gone;
No hope of the future, no breaking of dawn?
Shall the stars in their courses no promise give
That LIES worth living while others yet liver
IL may be that she in the time TO come,
Will look lightly upon the past that has flown
Or, that he may account it a whilom thought,
And never take note OF the injury wrought
IL so, it were better that thus il should end
With friends old friends each others
friend.
But how about il when one cannot sever
The ties that were formed. to be broken never?
Is il meet that the other should SO lightly
weigh
The passion, the heart pulse not born in a tlayg
Were it best when il ends
That they part only as friends?
The future is full of its promise for one:
The rose just budding has only begun
The long. swift pace that earth's mortals are
set
There's much in the future that will cause to
forget
But the other will look back DER the course
soon TO end
And be thankful for all-if he can still call her
friend"

THE FIGHT IN THE NORTH.
The Japanese losses in killed aud
wounded in the battle of Liaoyanp
are officially placed at 17,549. Gen.

Impression prevails that both.tbese

The Japs lost heavily in attacking
