St Petersburg, Sept. Z, 2:10 a. M
There has been no news from Kuro-
pstkin since Monday afternoon. This
is attributed to the interruption of d.
rect communication with the com
mander-in-chief, owing to the transfer
of the telegraph office TO Mukden,
whittier messages have to be sent by
courier.
The utmost confidence prevails at
the war office that .he Russian army
Is slowly but surely affecting its re-
treat without serious risk of being
cut off. Nevertheless, intense anxi-
ETY. is felt throughout the whole ma
ton and this feeling is shared by the
emperor. His majesty is unwilling
at such a juncture to absent himself
from the Reterhof and has counter
manded all proposed journeys. He
remains closeted ft hours with his
military advisers.
II is believed that the outcome OF
these deliberations will be an order
to mobolize several more army corps.
Late Tuesday evening the Associat
ed Press obtained the following state
ment from the war office:
mo kilograms whatever were re.
ceived from Kuropatkin today (Tues.
day.. IL is inferred that the only
Russian troops remaining at Ycntai
Sept. G are the rear guard. whose mis-
sion is solely to retard the oncmy's

II is quite consistent from ;he posi-
tion Of affairs TO suppose that a por.

tered Yentai, there being no inten
tion to hold This point as IT Is OF no

American Government Road.

One of the singular experiences
which falls to the duty of the Ameri-
can government in building the Pana-
ma canal is connected with its owner
ship OF the Panama railroad. The lat
ter has been in a combination with the
transcontinental roads to make uni
form charges on all freights from one
coast to the other. BY reason of this
policy il has heretofore been zmpOssi-
BILE to use the isthmian route to adj
vantage. because the natural economy
of it's water transit from San Francis
co to the isthmus and from the latter
to New York was shut out by this
agreement The railroads are sup
posed to pay the isthmian railway
enough 10 make it an object to the
latter to keep it's charges up by tic-
titious system of rates; rates not in
tended to attract traffic. This has been
a matter of necessity TO the transcOn-
tinental roads.
OF course the American government
cannot continue this arrangement af-
ter its expiration, or the time comes
at which il can be legiimateiy abrO-
gated. The Panama railroad was
bought by the government because it
is necessary TO the canal. 1t may turn
out that the road will be doing the
business of its life before the canal
is finished.

Look for the Woman"

The French have a saying-'Look
for the wOman"-and it holds good in
English. Whenever a good man goes
wrong we suspect there is a woman
involved. Shrewd detectives always
look first to see what a defaulter's
connection with fast women has been.
Recently an embezzling New York
bank clerk was caught by tracing the
woman on whom he had lavished
money.
Human wickednesS runs in ruts 1t
is almost impossible for any man short
of n genius TO invent q new crime.
And even genius cannot find anynew
motive for wrong doing. Men seldom
do strange and unusual things without
a strong incentive. and that incentive
is nearly always. directly or indirectly.
a woman.
But-mind you-there are two sides
to this question. Look about you at
the men who are living straight and
truly successful lives. Read the his
tories and learn the forces that have
operated to give the world so many
imperishable names. Scarcely man
has ever achieved honorable distinc-
ton i'll this world but has attributed
his success to the good and gracious
influences of a mother or a wife or
both. a mere list of the names OF
such men would fill many columns like
this.
Respecting the honesty. the integri-
~. the faithful adherence TO high pur-
poses and lofty ideals that have given
them place in the hearts and histories
of a people. they all gladly set forth
in their own choice of words the one
great truth that "a woman was at the
bottom of it But the unfortunate
ones who stand on the gallows, or are
