 One of the criticisms made of the nov- city weaves was that they often were so colorless as to he very unbecomins and always. really. it did seem as though the colorless people were the ones that chose the dullest grays.

 tO Prepared Position on Railway at TieIinE.
 LONDON. March 9.-The foreign of ice is officially informed from Tokyo that the Japanese army has achieved q great victory before Mukden and that the Russian army is in full retreat. The casualties are estimated by Japa- nese headquarters at 5000 on each side, or a total of 100000 men killed and wounded.
 A dispatch from General Kuroki's headquarters in the field says that the Russians under cover of the darkness have evacuated the whole line along the Shakhe river and are now in full retreat northward. The Japanese in fantry is pressing them closely.
 Before retreating the Russians set fire to great heaps of supplies. which burned throughout the night. The Jap anese are pushing the Russians hard on the east.
 A special dispatch from St Peters burg says that Emperor Nicholas and high military officers have been in formed by General Kuropatkin that Mukden must be abandoned.
 The withdrawal is necessitated' by q heavy concentration of Japanese west nnd northwest of the city. whither they have transferred a large share of the forces from the southern front to re- enforce the original striking force of General Nogi.
 The great question now and the one over which the general staff burned its lights late into the night is whether Field Marshal Oyama has entangled the Russians in his strategic net sutti- ciently to prevent successful retreat to Tie pass General Rennenkampf's force to the eastward admittedly is ia great danger of being cut off.
 Field Marshal Oyama has once more proved himself one of the greatest masters of offensive strategy since Ma poleon. while General kuropatkin is now engaged in endeavoring to defend his title as a master of successful re- treats and bring off his army. with it's immense train. safely to Tie pass, where a position was long ago pre- pared with this contingency in view.

SCHlEMMER HAS
A NEW MASTER

On Saturday evening car No. 13 OF
the Nuuanu avenue line was gaily dec
Grated with teis, which We're festooned
from the roof all over the car. Last
night garlands of roses again hung
from the roof. The cause of these dec
orations is the departure of J. a. Green,
the genial conductor, who is well
known to all the patrons of the Rapid
Transit Company. Green was a sailor
once, before he picked up the railroad
ing business in the Colonies, and it was
as a sailor that he first came to Homo
lulu. And now, after a term on the
and he will doff his conductors uni
form for that of a sea captain.
In other words Mr.. Green has bought
an interest with Captain Schlemmer in
the schooner c. Kennedy, and will sail
to Laysan Island next Tuesday in COM
mand of that vessel. They are going
after phosphates 1t has been suggest
ed that there might be some other
scheme in view and that the far famed
bird skins might have something to do
with the case, but Mr.. Green says
that there is nothing in these wild ru-
mors. I'VE are going to Laysan Is
land after phosphates," he said last
light. IF you want to know anything
more you will have to ask Captain
Schlemmer."
The c. Kennedy was purchased by
Captain Schlemmer last fall on the
Sound and is to take the place of the
Robert Levers. She is a little smaller
than the c. L. Woodbury. and only has
one topmast. She is staunch little
craft and a good sailor. Captain Schlem-
mer has made many improvements on
Laysan Island in order to facilitate the
getting out of the phosphates and the
trade should be a profitable one.
