the rest OF the car WIS taken, and he
was in a quandary. The berths had
been reserved and held for the negro

that if h let them in there would be
trouble in the moraing, and he saved
himself by a happy thought. He put
the negro family in the drawing room
and locked the door. He told them
they would have 20 stay there until
he told them TO come out. He waited
until all of the other passengers had
left the car he next morning, and then
unlocked the drawing-rc0m door, and
not one of the other passengers knew

TIDE OF BATTLE ROLLS
BACK FROM MUkDEN.

ST. Petersburg. March G.-Accord.
ing to correspondents with the Russi
an army the tide of battle yesterday
was gradually falling back from the
immediate vicinity of Mukden, opera
tions up to noon having resulted in
the capture of several villages west
and southwest of Mukden; but late in
the afternoon the Japanese inaugural
ed a series of desperate attacks. the
outcome of which is still not chron-
icled.
The war office estimates the num-.
Der wounded in the battle CT Mukden
at 10000, including 294 officers, but
makes no statement regarding the
number of dead. This undoubtedly is
a conservative statement. The Jap
anese losses, according to the same
source of information, are estimated
at 10000.
