Young Murphy seems to be somewhat
Of a mystery. He asserts that he was
quite the goods in Chicago and licked
men out there so fast that 1t was
simply cruel, but in the East he has
been able to get no engagements SO far.
There has been absolutely no way OF
getting line on him, although Johnny
O'Connor has done much gumshoe work
in that line. A hurry-up sport rushed into
Johnny's place one day with n likely
looking youngster whom he declared to
be Young Murphy, but later came re-
ports that it was all fake and that it
wasn't the Chicago hero at all. The
consequence is Tommy has never seen
the man he is to fight.

my Dear Sir: I wish to congratu-
late you upon the excellence of the
program prepared for the coming

management has infused new life into
the Association, railroad rates will be
reasonable, and the program is the
best we have yet had in the State.
Educators like Superintendent Stet-

Russell, of Columbia are men of ma
tional reputation, not to speak of our
own Aycock. Page. McIver, Venable,

ST. PETERSBURG, April s, 2:15
a. m.-Russian Newspaper correspon-
dents in Manchuria having received
papers containing accounts Of tho bat
tie Of Mukden, are wiring protests
against its consideration as an "ov-
erwhelming disaster and unprecedent-
ed defeat and destruction Of the Man.
churian army"
The correspondents complain Bit
terly Of the censorship which forbade
the transmission of true accounts of
the battle from the Russian side, per-
hitting the papers and the public to
derive their Impressions from teje-
grams colored by the Japanese views.
The correspondents admit the loss Of
many stores, and attribute defeat to
tho successful strategy and exact
knowledge Of Russian numbers and po-
sitions which enabled the Japanese
to work out their turning movements.
One correspondent declares that the
extreme mobility Of the Japanese made
1t necessary to have a whole army In
reserve, but that this had already been
sent to the fighting line eastward
when the real stroke developed. In
this correspondents opinion, Gen.
Kuropatkin should have commenced
retreat at that moment.
