CONCERN IN ST. PETERSBURG.
FOreboding of Coming Disaster Per
 vudes General Public.

5
 St. Petersburg, oct. 15-2:sO a. m The great feeling of concern which ex- ists in high circles in the Russian cap ital tonight by no means equals the foreboding of coming disaster pervad- ing the general public, which in indulg- ing in the deepest pessimism. In the absence of official news the public is being fed on the widest rumors of de- feat suffered by General Kuropatkin to-day.
 The fact that no word regarding the battle has been officially given out only confirms the popular fear. The expla- nation offered that to-day was holi- day does not suffice to allay the appre- lhension.
 General Kuropatkins report of the result of the days operations has reached Emperor Nicholas at Tsarkoe Selo. but it had not been returned here before the war commission, which sat only until 9:s0 o'clock, adjourned. The lemperor himself is represented as being bitterly disappointed and spending hours with his cabinet studying out, with the help of his military aides, the reports of the battle. The general staff, however, by no means despairs, Though admitting that the tide the last two days has been against General Kuro- lpatkin, the general staff says the battle lis not yet over and that in any event there is nc question of rout.
 The depressing feature of the situa- tion Is that every one is willing to be- llieve the worst. Thus reports from To- Ikio and elsewhere stating that the Jap
 anese9 are advancing and the Russians fare falling back are accepted with faith based upon the previous Russian re-
 treat.

NEW PLAN PROPOSED

 fin and a Trestle BuIIt-wouId Take
 Noise and Smoke Away from Resi-

 Alderman Minor sprang a genuine surprise on all those who attended the special meeting of the board of alder men last evening by recommendation concerning the proposed changes which the railroad company intends to make in widening it's cut. A moment after the roll had been called by Clerk Moran Alderman Minor arose and said:
 "Mr. President and fellow members of the board Of aldermen, have here communication which I have been asked to present to this honorable body by the committee from the Chamber of Commerce, who have been considering the proposed changes which the railroad intends making in its tracking system. With your permission will read it."
 The alderman then read the foIiow- ing communication, which was com plete surprise to all those present. no intimation of it having leaked out prior to the reading
 To the Honorable Board of Aldermen
 of the City of New Haven.
 The undersigned citizens of New Ha- ven, Conn, being also a committee of the Chamber o. Commerce. appointed by that body for the purpose of con sidering the plans of the N. r., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. to four track it's road and otherwise improve the facilities through New Haven, respectfully petition your honorable body to take into considera- tion the following plan in lieu of that herebefore presented by said railroad company. Said plan comtemplates track beginning at point near Cedar street bridge; thence running easterly across the harbor flats to Belle dock there connecting with the present tracks of said company, and running northerly to a connection at or near Cedar Hill. l Your petitioners are of the opinion that such plan possesses many ad- vantages, among which are the follow { ing:
 I |. It will remove the tracks from the center of the city and avoid the nui- sance of noise, smoke and dust by plac- ling the tracks in the manufacturing section of the city, where such noise, smoke and dust will not be so ob5ec- tionable.
 2. It will abolish forever the North an1pton cut and the main line GU: through the city, so that the streets passing over the said cuts may be re- stored to their true level, and property heretofore damaged by the presence Of said cut be made more valuable. I 3. It will do away with any plan l which the railroad company may have I to elevate it's tracks through said cut, and thus make permanent wall di- viding the city into two narts.
 A. It is likely that some terms may be made with the railroad company to turn over the abandoned cut to the city, so lthat the same may be used either for municipal purposes or may be sold to individuals.
 4 Your petitioners attach hereto a sketch of the plan showing the proposed lroute. and ask that your honorable body request the committee on railroads and bridges to consider the same in

AL eady the losses at Liao Yang have cen approximated and the indications Ire that they will be exceeded, that of he Russians up to noon of October IA .eing estimated at 15,000. The Russian dvance has been converted into a Eubbornly fought retreat. The result, ccording to the Russians, is still to be determined. Reports from the Russian ! it wing are lacking, leaving room for uestion if that part of General Kuro- atkins army is not in worse extrem- iy than the center and right were at Sny stage of the battle. On both sides le soldiers have shown the utmost te- lacity and bravery, and whole regi- pents have gone down before the fire t the enemy In official circles of St. Petersburg there is a disposition to ar sue that, even should General Kuro- .atkin be obliged to retire upon Muk- en. his position will be quite as favor bic as it was when the order to ad- lance was given on October 6, and that, b the other hand, the Japanese powers E future resistance will have been ma erially weakened.
