SYMPATHY FOR KURopATKIN.
III-starred General Has Not Lost
Caste In 81. Petersburg-Chinese
Uprising Feared. 81

81. Petersburg, Oct. 17.-It was dur
Ing the Japanese furious night attack
of Wednesday, according to unofficial
accounts, that the Russians lost their
guns. Thursday witnessed another
furious cannonate In which the whole
of the Russian center was forced back.
In the afternoon of the same day the
Russian right began to give way. To-
ward evening came few hours lull,
but at midnight the cannonading was
renewed with increased fury, eyewit-
nesses declaring that II exceeded In in
tensity that at Lao Yang during the
famous fighting Of the goth and 3lst

Although the official account OF the
battle does not present the disastrous
picture that many in st. Petersburg
had resigned themselves to ee, the
general feeling here is of the deepest
gloom. II the battle has not been
Russias Sedan in fact, the moral and
political effect could hardly be worse
The result will render the war and its
conduct more unpopular than ever at
home, while the greatest fears are ex-
pressed that the Chinese population,
II not the government, will be encour-
aged to abandon long doubtful neu-
trality and openly side with the victo-
rious Japanese. From the military
point of view the most bitter disap-
pointment is in the knowledge that
reversal seals the fate Of the heroic
defenders of Port Arthur, who are
now without hope of succor from the
outside world.
A remarkable feature throughout is
the popular sympathy with Gen. Ku-
ropatkin. Viceroy Alexieff is again
charged with responsibility for Kuro-
patkin's attempt to take the agrees

awarded the ill-starred general; but 1t
