nent clubs, today shot and killed him

Two days after the death Of Mr..

news that an offensive movement had
already been begun and that the Japan
ese line has been broken at Ben-tsia-
pu-tze.
The Japanese occupied a front of
about fifty-two miles, stretching from
Ben-tsia- pu-tze on the east thru Yen
tai and across the railway to the banks
of the Hun river on the west. The
Russian force has been moving south in
close touch with the Japanese advance,
since Oct. 4.
back in series of skirmishes, and on
Oct. 3 the Russians reoccupied the sta
ton OF Shakhe river the next day in
day in order to facilitate the advance.
Meanwhile General Mitchensko g

as the Yen-tai Mines defeating the
Japanese in a series of warm skirm-
ishes. @5- %s< -
Russians Get Key.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at Ben
tsia- pu-tze. Here the Japanese held a
strong and important position, but it
seems they made the inexplicable omis-
sion to fortify a commanding hill, which
was the key to the whole situation. A
portion of General Kuropatkin s force
made strong attack on Ben-tsia- pu-
TIE and taking leaf out of the Japan
ese book, occupied the hill from the
east and fanked the Japanese out of
the town, causing a serious loss in a
rear guard fight. The Russian casual
ties are reported to have been inconsid-

Japanese Move, Too.
While these operations are progress
ing south of Mukden, it is reported
that two Japanese divisions under Gen
eral Fushimi are marching west up the
L!ao river and are now twenty-five
miles south of Sin-min-tin. General
Kuroki is expected to make similar
move eastward.

the two armies in the anomalous posi-
ton Of threatening each others lines

wide turning movement, while the Rus
slans,, going south, have already in

and are crowding back their center
along the railway.

It praises the Russian soldiery IN high

the general s confidence in the ultimate
outcome, when the time was ripe, was
unshaken. It then continues:
Big Force at Hand.
The emperor has assigned for the con-
fict with Japan forces sufficient to as
sure us victory. All difficulties in trans
porting these forces over distance Of
10000 versts are being overcome in a
spirit of self-sacriflce and with indomi-
table energy and skill by Russian men
Of every branch and rank of the service
and every social position to whom has
been entrusted this work, which for diff
Guilty is unprecedented in the history Of
warfare.
If the regiment which already have
been sent out prove insufficient fresh
troops will arrive, for the inflexible wish
of the emperor that we should vanquisn
the foe will be inf1exibly fulfilled.
Time Has Come.
Heretofore the enemy, in operating,
has relied on his great forces, and dis
posing his armies SO as to surround us,
has chosen, as he deemed fit, his time
for attack; but now the moment to go
to meet the enemy, for which the whole
army has been longing, has come and
the time has arrived for us to compel the
Japanese to do our will, for the forces
of the Manchurian army are strong
enough to begin forward movement.
Nevertheless, you must be increasingly
mindful Of the victory to be gained over
our strong and gallant foe. Above all
| remember how necessary victory is, the
more speedily to relieve our brothers at
Port Arthur, who for seven months have
heroically maintained the defense of the
fortress entrusted to their care.
Our army, strong in it's union with
| the emperor and all Russia, performed
great deeds Of heroism for the father
land in all our wars, and gained for it
self well merited renown amongst all ma
| lions. Think at every hour of the de-
Tense Of Russa's dignity and rights in
the far east, which have been entrusted
| to you by the emperor's wish. Think at
| every hour that to you the defense of the
honor and fame Of the whole Russian
army has been confded.
The will Of God be with us all.
