oUTsTRIP THE JAPANESE
Withdrawal Effected In Midst of a
Shower Of Shells
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TIE PASS, March 1.-THE Russian
retreat must be reckoned as : wonder
full spectacle. For miles infantrymer
and baggage wagons today strew the
line of march. For rapidity the Jap
anese movements for the first time
were outstripped by the Russians with
more at stake than in any previous
battle with the Japanese. The crucial
point of retreat occurred at dusk, when
the rearguard troops and the trans
port which had reached Santaize
ten miles north of Mukden, suddenly
received rifle and grenaGe assault
from the Japanese cavalry, which pro-
duced a stampede The success of the
Japanese In closing against the armies
trying to get away from the extended
Hun river bridge position was evident.
In ordering retreat Gen. Kuropat-
kin is said to have declared it was
done in order to satisfy protesting
opinion, and that, whatever the blame,
he would take it, which in the light of
events seems to show that he best
knew the capacity of the soldiers.
The battle on the right flank and
around Mukden appears to be the
greatest of the war except at Port Ar
thur. During the terrible dust storm
of Thursday the Japanese with machine
guns occupied several empty houses in
n wi 10 hal h1 I,n cio
otherwise battered their positions west
of the railroad, so that when the re-
treat came with Japanese shells on all
sides, 1T suggested another Cronje in
cident. For ten hours not man nor a
| no. Sc rested, while the wounded were
the rear and often in the center and
every energy was bent toward getting
out of the trap, the jaws of which were
almost upon the Russians.
Forty Miles in Seventeen Hours
At Santaitze, the Associated Press
correspondent, with others, lost all
baggage in the retreat. Many bodies
of troops were encountered, some of
tHSiii III ouNdiOc anu SoiiC III thC lcebi I,
which were constantly mistaken for
Japanese. Forty miles retreat was ac-
complished in seventeen hours. 1t was
virtually through plowed fields with
enormous dust clouds, which made 1t
impossible to see any distance. A
great amount of the equipage, am
munition, guns and stores of the Rus
slams were lost.
The losses on both sides are reckoned
at 100000 for the entire fight.

COVERING THE RETREAT
Russian Rear Guard Doggedly Disput-
ina Every Foot of Ground

by Associated Press.
TIE PASS. March II, 2 p. m.-For
many versts all the approaches to Tie
pass are covered with troops, artillery
and baggage transports pressing north
ward and twenty-five miles away the
strong rear guard of troops. which is
commanded by General Kuropatkin, Is
retiring slowly. doggedly disputing
with the pursuing enemy every foot of
ground in order to cover the retreat.
The losses In this defeat, which is
the most bitter yet experienced by the
Russian army. are, by a moderate
computation. not less than 100000 men
on the two sides combined. The Rus
SLAMS, in addition, have sacrificed enor-
nous quantities of munitions and
stores, the greater part OF which were
set on fire before leaving Mukden.
1t is impossible to say whether the
Russians will be able to put up fight
and hold this position, or whether 1t
will be necessary to continue to re-
treat to Harbin, but the rank and hle.

The Value of Charcoal
PFsw eopIe Know How Useful II Is in Preserv.
ing Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
In the stomach and intestineS and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lo-
zenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton OF the general health, better
complexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of 1t is that
no possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal. says: II
advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels. and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; l also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores and
although in some sense patent prep
aration, yet | believe l get more and
better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any OF the ordinary
charcoal tablets"

Taken Just In Time

ST. PETERSBURG, March IL, a.

east and it's line of retreat is not cut

prisoners, Gen. Kuropatkin, with the
main portion of his forces intact, Is

Gen. Kuropatkin himself, with the
rear guard, was reported Saturday af-

twenty-five miles below Tie pass, hav-
ing accomplished some fifteen lies

any way the movement of the army.
This movement commenced on Friday
morning, and as the Japanese forces on
the east, which were to join forces
with the western army and cut off the
retreat, did not cross the Fushun-
Mukden road until Saturday morning,
their pursuers, and, having no guns or
baggage to delay them, seem to have
made good their escape. There is STILL
however, a chance of Gen. Kamo-
muras army taking hand in the bat

Tie pass or cut their communications

The Associated Press correspondents
say that the Japanese surrounded the
first and fourth Russian corps and
adds that help could not be sent to

the inference is that they have either
suffered defeat or capture. The censor
no doubt took out of the dispatches
what really happened to those corps.
The first is Stackelberg's old corps.

battle since Vafangow, and the fourth,

Rennenkampff' fate is still In the
balance.

some rolling stock of the light military
railway built along the Shakhe posi-

The Russian government and people
are as determined as ever to continue
the war. The reigning family, through
Grand Duke Vladimir, has spoken and
will be backed by the official, and mill

Still, in Europe, outside of Russia,
there Is a feeling that peace will fol-

WHO OWNS THE PEARL? !?
Restaurant Proprietor Claims a Gem
Found In Oyster Shell

BY Associated Press.
HAMBURG, March Ills the finder
of pearl in an oyser shell served in
a restaurant entitled to it, or does 1t
belong to the proprietor of the restau-
rant?
The first bench of the superior court
here has taken the question under con-
sideration. The facts as told in court
are that a woman beginning her din
ner at a restaurant with oysters bit
on something hard and took a piece Of
pearl out of her mouth. Afterward a
jeweler offered the woman $3.50 for the
pearl and the proprietor of the restau-
rant claimed the gem. The woman re-
fused to surrender the pearl and the
proprietor brought suit to recover it,
averring that the bones of fowls and
shells are, by traditional custom, left
by customers of a restaurant and are a
source of profit to the proprietor.

day afternoon. The news contained in
these dispatches will cause unbounded
relief in st. Petersburg, which, in the
absence of any information since
Kuropatkin's laconic retreat begun
published Friday, had come to believe
Toxic rumors that the entire army
would be driven to the mountains and
forced to surrender. A long days
march, or even two, remain to be ac-
complished, but the retreat now pro-
sents no tactical difficulties and is be-
lieved to be largely a question of shak-
ing off the pursuing Japanese from it's
fianks and rear, and apparently no
longer a natter of cutting it's way
through formidable force.
The Associated Press dispatch from
Tie pass was filed with great difficulty
by the correspondent, who left Muk-
den with the rear guard, spent Friday
with General Kuropatkin and took n
long ride to Tie pass Saturday, after
which he again returned to the 'front.'
The dispatch indicates the strategy Of
Field Marshal Oyamas double turn

Russians Not Panic Stricken
Mukden station was abandoned at Z
O'Clock Friday morning. The retreat
was dreary and dlsagreeable to an ex-
treme. A dust hurricane blowing di-
rectly southwark filled the eyes and
faces of the troops, but at the same
time tended to blind the enemy and de-
lay pursuit from the south.
The retreating columns were bonn
barded on both TANKS by batteries
which it was impossible to silence, the
shells reaching the mandarin road
from the east with especial frequency
from the village Of Tawan, eight miles
north Of Mukden, and Pu, FIVE miles
further north. Under these circum-
stances the retreat was conducted with
astounding precision, which was largely
due to the personal efforts of Cen.
Kuropatkln, who, with haggard face
and uniform yellow with dust, was
everywhere when needed.

How tho Trap Was Set

TOW tno rap was oct
The attack. on this side is regarded
as feint, but as having been designed
to have the jaws of the trap closing
east meet at the village of Tawan
tain range, pointing like gigantic
finger southwestward toward Muk-
den, begins to slope sharply away from
the road and the railway.
General Nogi's share in the scheme
has already been sufficiently chronicled.
General Kuroki was to spring the
other jaw, which, closing in between
the Sidiaputz and Madzyadani positions
and crossing the river at Flu pass, bit
deeply into the Russian flank, and was
all but sprung shut.
Whether General Rennenkampff s
corps or even General Linevitch's army
was cut off to the eastward by his
stroke, or whether they had already
turned on the central army, 1t is i'm
possible to learn, but even if these
forces are cut off they might have n
chance of conducting retreat
According to the Associated Press
dispatch from Tie pass, General Kuro-
patkin seems before the battle to have
yielded in his decision to retire to Tie
pass in Difference to the united opin-
ion Of his principal generals, who were
in favor of standing at the Shakhe
river and offering battle, but 1t seems
that later on, in ordering a retreat, he
went counter to the opinion of the
same council Events show the deci-
sion was taken not moment too
soon.
kuropatkin Took Personal Charge
The credit of bringing off the army,
therefore, is largely Kuropatkin's, as
he took personal charge of their rear
guard and exposed himself as fearless
ly and recklessly as the merest private
on the fighting line. Whatever may
be the verdict of history with regard
to the generalship in the battle, nothing
but the highest praise can be extended
the Russian rank and file, who include
fine stamp of men.
In the Russian dark hour of defeat
the influential newspapers raise no
voice. A number of them attribute the
major portion of the blame to long
series of reverses, not to military
causes, but to the faulty internal or
ganization of the country. The Novoe
Vremya, in a burst of bitterness, lays
all to the door of the bureaucracy, as
was the case In the Crimean war.
