Pastor klncanon reports splendid
meeting of the Yazoo Baptist Associ-
alton at Pleasant Ridge church, Sept
26-2S. The delegation was good, the
crowd overlooking, the hospitality
generous, the dinners on the ground
superabundant. Among Lexington
people were Senator Noel and wife Miss
Mamie Noel, Mes1ames Eff. and A. j.
Bfown,W. l.. Young, Miss Belle stig-
Ter, +. w. Eakin, Miss Evie Garnett,
Capt, j. W. Swinney and wife, l..
Rhyme and wife. DR.. A. Y. Rowe. of
Winona, and I. j. Bailey, of Jackson,
visiting ministers, contributed largely
to the success of the meeting. Mr..
hlncan0n thinks, as the rest doubtless
do, that he had the best home in the
community, being entertained by Mr..
Stephen Rhyme, whose genial wife is
the daughter of Capt. II. Barger, su-
pervisor, and living with his son-in-
law. The general verdict is that the
session of the association was a sue
cess in every way, and the people Of
every name in the Pleasant Ridge and
Bowling Green community seemed to
unite in doing what they could to
make it so. When the pastor, Rev.
]. 7. Ellis and his Pleasant Ridge
people want the Association again,
they will no doubt get it.

BELIEVE PEACE is IN SIGHT
The Gar Learns Of General Terms
Acceptable TO Japan.

Acceptable TO Japan.
Washington, March 14.-When the
czar calls his war council he will be
able to inform them that Japan will
welcome peace on reasonable terms
and will promptly name her oondi-
tions, provided she receives trust
worthy assurances that they will be
seriously considered.
This the emperor has learned from
friendly chancellories in Europe, as
well as the general terms acceptable
TO Japan. These. Il is said. include the
retention by Japan OF Port Arthur.
japanese protectorate over Korea and
an indemnity.
From a high ofhcial the Associated
Press hears that Russia has recalled
her second Pacific squadron.
An attRcha OF a Russian embassy In
Europe is quoted as expressing the
belief that Kuropatkin's recent defeat
will force Russia to ask for peace.
Briefly, these were the reports cur
rent in the diplomatic corps, and as
result Of this important information
oficial Washington believes that Rus
sia and Japan are on the verge Of
peace
Count Cassini the Russian ambas.
sador. is the notable exception in the
group Of foreign ENJOYS here.
However generous the terms which
Japan might offer," the ambassador
said. Russian prestige is not among
them. That is one thing for which the
war will be fought 10 the end. Victory
for the Russian arms will alone make
for peace. II not at Tie Pass. then at
Harbln: Russia will assemble another
army mightier than before, and with
that army she viii settle the issue,
Il may be six months, a year OF per
haps two years. Time will be no con-
sideration"
At the japanese legation II is de-
clared that St. Petersburg and not
Toxic is the capital from which the
world must hope for peace proposals.
Mr. Takahira. the Japanese minister,
said in the most emphatic manner
that Japan had not directly proposed
peace. He did not deny that neutral
powers through their envoys from time
to time had sounded Japan as to the
terms on which she would accept
peace, but these he said necessarily
changed with the progress of hostili
ties. the intimation being that Russia
could have obtained better terms after
the fall Of Port Arthur than after the
capture Of Mukden.

March IS, via Fushun, March IA
Every hour increases the magnitude OF
the disaster suffered by the Russian
armies. Today $4,000 dead are known
TO have been left on the field. making
the casualties at least 100000. Be
tween $4,000 and 10000 prisoners, some
40 guns and enormous quantities OF
ammunition and provisions fell into
the hands Of the Japanese. The Japa-
nese losses do not exceed those Of
former great battles. even General
Kuroki's army losing only 5000.
Field Marshal Oyama's plans de-
oeived General Kuropatkin. The Rus.
sian commander misjudged the
strength OF the Japanese. He at first
thought that General Nogi's Port Ar
thur army was pressing his east flank
and concentrated a great force there.
This force he was afterward Obliged to
shift 70 Mukden, where Il arrived in a
uAalt VI tAhaheSNn tAAtA - A'ANNA
march and was unable To fight.
A retreat from Mukden began on
March Q. It became a demorallzed
fight when the Russians discovered
that their egress was blocked by Japa-
nese infantry and artillery from the
east. The rapid approach OF the Japa-
nese was a complete surprise to the
Russians. who expected that their re-
treat would be harassed only by the
japanese cavalry from the westward.
Saturday morning one division OF
Japanese encountered several Russian
regiments retreating along the road
to Tie Pass. The Russians descended
from the hills on the Russians. who
attempted TO break through the line.
After sharp engagement, in which
the Japanese guns did great execution.
1000 Russians surrendered with their
guns. The Japanese lost lost 100 men.
According TO stories told by cap
tured Russian officers and the appear
ance produced by their troops, the re-
treat lacks organization, every bat
talon shifting for itself

RUSSIANS NOT YET
OUT OF DANCER
Japanese Are Said to Have
Started Movement on
Tie Pass
CzAR'S LOSSES $4,000 MEN

The Russian general stan reports
that the main body has already COM
pleted its retreat. and the rear guard
southwark are falling back slowly"
What either the main body" OF the
rear guard" consists of has not been
definitely fixed, but from the dis
patches from the Associated Press
correspondents with the Japanese and
Russians, the two combined must be
but a small portion Of the army which
General Kuropatkin had gathered
along the banks OF the Shakhe and
Hun rivers. And yet those who have
reached Tie Pass. worn out from days
Of fighting and retreating, are not out
of danger. the Japanese, Il is reported,
ing movement which will force the
Russians on to the plains north Of Tie
Pass. where, in their disorganized
state. they would be easy prey for the
victory-hushed soldiers OF the mikado.
The men who escaped are strength
ening the fortihcations in Tie Pass.
but it is hardly possible that the pass
can be held in face OF the overwhelm-
ing forces opposed to the Russians.
and It Is not likely that Oyama will
rest satisfied with his victory at Muk-
den as he did after Lao Yang.
As TO the losses. General Kuropat-
kin now admits that $4,000 wounded
were carried of the field. This, with
the 26,5OO dead left on the field. the
10000 prisoners and the wounded left
in the hospitals, comes somewhat
nearer the latest Japanese estimate
that the total Russian losses were
$4,000. At this rate Kuropatkin can
not have more than 100000 effective
fighting men with him.
The army OF General Linevitch
seems to have made the best retreat.
but this no doubt was due to the stub
born fight made by General Rennen-
kampff on his extreme left, and the
equally fierce resistance OF General
Kaulbars on the right the latter gen.
eral losing $4,000 men. Neither the
army OF Kaulbars nor of Rennen-
kampff has yet been accounted for by
the dispatches. After his defeat around
the western tombs, Kaulbars. finding
his retreat directly northward cut of,
made a detour to the eastward, where
he was still fighting at last accounts
Rennenkampff must also still be in the
hills to the eastward. as 1t took the
Associated Press courier three days
to reach Tie Pass.
The Japanese report the capture Of
"a more guns, &c in all. a rather small
number. considering the decisive de
feat and the number OF men captured
The Japanese losses have been re
markably light in view Of the length
and severity OF the fighting.
