Retreat Of Russian Army Turned

SUPPLIES and GUNS GIVEN UP
Rough Estimates Make Total Losses
Over 100, 900 Men-Japanese
Follow Up Advantage.

Toxic, March 9.-Deieated all along
the line, with thousands of men killed
and wounded, his army turned into
demoralized mob of men who no longer
obey the orders of their officers, an
enormous percentage of his munitions
of war and artillery lost to him, having
been abandoned to the victorious Jap
anese or destroyed to prevent falling
into their hands, General Kuropatkin
is at last reports making frantic efforts
to save something from the wreck and
is withdrawing all of his reserves north
ward to a point where he can reason
ably hope to reorganize his defeated
army. In the meantime, the Japanese
soldiers on the right, left and center
are pressing in on the fleeing Russians
and will make an attempt to COM
pletely ann1hilate the soldiers of the
czar.
The result of the fortnight's fighting
south of Mukden is the worst disaster
to the Russian arms of the whole war.
Even the bold cossacks who, in other
days have repeatedly proved their
valor on bloody fields, have been COM
PEELED to give way and run before the
steady, relentless pressure Of the troops
of the mikado, who, scorning death in
every form, have continued battering
away at the Russian entrenchments
and piercing them one by one.

FUNDS FOR COLUMBIA JETTY.
AS Finally Passed., Bill Allows Expen-
diture of 100000,

Washington, March 11.-From let
ters which he has received, Senator
Fulton finds there is geenral misun-
-derstanding in Oregon as to what ap-
preparation was actually made in the
river and harbor bill for improving the
mouth of the Columbia river. The fact
is this:
The bill as enacted carries cash ap-
preparation of $400, 900 and authorizes
the expenditure of $500, 900 additional,
which latter amount will be provided
in the sundry civil bill to be passed
next session. AS the bill passed the
house, it carried 5000, 900 cash and au-
thorized an additional $500, ZOO in the
next sundry civil bill. Senator Fulton
appealed to the senate committee to in
crease the cash appropriation, but his
request was turned down. When the
bill was being considered in the senate,
he offered and secured the adoption of
an amendment increasing the cash ap-
preparation to $3.50, 900. The bill then
went to conference and Chairman Bur-
ton endeavored to restore the house ap-
preparation, but the senate conferees
would not consent. A compromise was
finally reached and $50, 900, one-third
of the amount added by the senate,
was cut off. AS the bill finally passed, !,
it carried 500, 900 more than was pro-
vided in the house bill.

GERMAN CLAIMS ARE roo HIGH
Negotiations for Settling the Samoan
Indemnify Drag.


Indemnity Drag.
Washington, March 13.-The nego-
tiations between America, Great Brit
ain and Germany looking to a settle
ment of the Samoan indemnity claims,
have practically come to standstill, !,
owing to wide difference of opinion as
to the extent of damage sustained by
the German subjects in the Samoan
group as result of joint operations by
the American and British naval forces
in 1900 to suppress rebellion.
The question of the liability of Amer
lea and Great Britain for the damages
sustained by German plantation owners
was decided by King Oscar of Sweden,
in favor of the claimants in 1902, but
the arbitrator did not attempt to assess
individual damages, leaving this to be
adjusted by negotiation. These negoti-
ations have dragged along ever since
1902, and the principals now find them
selves no nearer an agreement than at
the beginning. The German claims
amount to about $65, 900. The British
and American negotiators insist that
this sum is excessive and that $25, ,00C
is good price for the property de-
stroyed.
1t is probable it will be necessary te
appoint commission to take testimony
as to the extent of the actual damage,
though the smallness OF the amount in.
volved would seem to make this an
unduly expensive undertaking.
Meanwhile the claimants are becom.
ing restive and are bringing pressure te
bear on the German government to se
cure settlement.

Strike on New York Street Railways
Blocks Business.
New York, March 8.-With one col
lision in which 30 persons were in
jured, New York has passed through
the first day of the general strike on its
rapid transit systems. Besides this ac-
cident and some minor casualties due to
the abnormal conditions, the sum total
of the day was annoyance and vexation
to million or more people usually de-
pendent upon the Interborough's lines
for transportation to and from business.
So far there has been little disorder.
Sporadic encounters between iDdivid-
uals, some bad language and the action
of few hoodlums in throwing missiles
at passing elevated trains tell this
phase of the strike. The annoyance to
the multitude was increased by a wet
snow, which began falling this after
noon.
Service on the elevated roads and the
subway, while not tied up, was crippled
badly. Trains were run on irregular
schedules in the underground, begin
ming with the early morning, but the
elevated did not fare SO well. On the
East side practically no attempt was
made to institute service. while the
Sixth and Ninth avenue lines, which
serve the West side, were run in fash
ion woefully inadequate. In fact. the
elevated system of the Interborough' s
lines was pretty well paralyzed.

Gar Will Send Another Army to the
Far East.

Gar Will Sen0 announcer Army 10 tne
Far East.
st. Petersburg, March 13.-The i'm
mediate answer of the Russian govern
ment to the defeat at Mukden is the an
nouncemet that new army will be
raised and the forces in the Far East
reorganized; that Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensy will be ordered to sail on and try
conclusions with Togo, and that the
war will be prosecuted to the bitter
end. y
This is the present temper of Emper-
or Nicholas and his dominant advisers,
voiced in firm official announcement
that the position of Russia is unchang-
ed, and that the initiative for peace can
only come from Japan. Should the
island empire choose to tender "moder
ate'' terms and recognize its adversary
as the power in the Far East, peace
could be easily arranged; but the voice
of her diplomacy in various parts of
the world indicates that she is not
ready to do this, and the Russian gov
ernment, with the full magnitude of
the disaster at Mukden still undeter-
mined, but with the 1905 campaign
seemingly already hopelessly compro-
missed, retreat to Harbin inevitable and
Vladivostok practically lost, declares
that the time has not yet come when
Russia can be forced to humble herself.

Ciroumsrauttal Evidence.

Sir Henry Hawkins, brilliant adj
vocate and one Of England's greatest
criminal judges, expressed the follow
ing opinion in his "Reminiscences:
Let me say a word about circum-
stantial evidence. Some writer's have
spoken of it as a kind Of dangerous
innovation In our criminal procedure.
1t Is almost the only evidence that ID
obtainable in all great crimes and it is
the best and most reliable I have
witnessed many great trials for MUIR
der, but do not remember one where
there was an eyewitness to the deed.
How IL 1t possible, then, to bring home
the charge to the culprit unless you
rely on circumstantial evidence?
"Circumstantial evidence is the evil
dence Of circumstances that
speak for themselves and that cannot
be contradicted. Circumstances have
no motive to deceive, while human tes-
timony Is too often the product Of ev-
cry kind of motive"

TRAINS RUNNING AGAIN.
Traffic Resumed on the New York
Rapid Transit Lines.

New York, March "a very decided
improvement in the condition of traffic
in the subway and on the elevated
roads marked the second day of the
strike. of the employees of the Inter-
borough company. This was especially
SO in the subway, in which express
service was established this evening and
affairs almost resumed their normal
aspect. On the elevated lines service
was more irregular, but continued to
improve. There was practically no
disorder, and only few minor acci-
dents occurred during the day.
Officials of the Interborough company
expressed confidence that they had the
situation well in hand and that a few
days would see full resumption OF
service on all lines.
This was positively denied by Presi-
dent Pepper, of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Railway employees.

kuropatkin's Line of Retreat Secure,
Though Japs Pound Both Sides.
st. Petersburg, March 13.-Russia
still has an army in the Far East and
its line of retreat is not cut. Field
Marshal Oyama's trap was again sprung
too late to bag the prey he desired,
and, though pounded on the rear and
both fanks, and losing heavily In kill
ed, wounded and prisoners, General
Kuropatkin with the main portions of
his forces intact is falling slowly back
to Tie pass, where considerable part
of his army has already arrived and
joined hands with the reserves in pre-
pairing a position behind which the
beaten army may find shelter.
General Kuropatkin himself, with
the rear guard, was reported Saturday
afternoon in the vicinity of Syanzia. 25
miles below Tie pass, having accom-
plished some Is miles of his retreat,
and being already beyond the jaws OF
the trap as originally set. How many
of his men he was obliged to leave be-
hind, and whether any of the units Of
his army were cut off or captured be-
fore the retreat began is not stated.

JOINT LOSS OVER 100000 MEN.

Battle BIoodiest of War Railroad is
Cut North of Mukden.
Toxic, March 9.-The great battle in
Manchuria ragged all day yesterday
along the entire and enormous front.
The Japanese were generally victorious,
and they drove the Russians from a
series of important positions. By
nightfall it seemed imperative that
General Kuropatkin would have to
withdraw his shattered legions to avoid
a complete disaster. Indeed, it ap-
peared impossible for him to effect a
reteat without heavy losses of prisones,
guns and stores.
The continuous battle is already the
bloodiest of the war. Upon the ground
that General Oku alone gained are
s, 900 Russian dead. The reports from
other armies are expected to triple this
figure. 1t is estimated that the Jap
anese have lost $4,000, making the
joint slaughter thus far exceed 100, 900
men.
Details of the combat are lacking,
but it is believed that the Japanese
have cut the railway north of Mukden,
leaving only the roadways and light
railway from Fushun to Tie pass as
avenues for the retreat of the Russians,
but army, headquarters refrain from
affirming or denying a report to that
effect. 1t is thought that Mukden is
still in the hands of the Russians.
