COMPARATIVE CASUALTIES.
As Usual, JapaRese Lost Fewer Than
 Their Enemy.

Their Enemy.
 With General Kurokrs Army in the Field, Northeast of Mukden, Sunday, March 12. via Fushun. March 13.- Every hour increases the magnitude of the disaster suffered by the Russian armies. Tonight 25.o0o dead are known to have been left on the field, making the casualties at least 100000. Be- tween 50,J00 and s0.o00 prisoners. some seventy guns and enormous quan- titles of ammunition and provisions fell into the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese losses do not exceed those of former great battles. even General Kurokfs army losing only 5000.
 Field Marshal oyama's plans com pletely deceived General Kuropatkin. The Russian commander misjudgcd the position and strength of the Japanese. He at first thought that General Mo- gis Port Arthur army was pressing his east flank and concentrated a great force there. This force he was after wards obliged to shift to Muk- den. where 1t arrived in a state of exhaustion after a forced march and was unable to fight. A retreat from Mukden began March .. It be- came a demoralized flight when the Russians discsM rgd that their eEress WAS Detnk ptOckeu by JaphHes6 inIdH- H- try and artillery from the east. The rapid approach of the Japanese was q complete surprise to the Russians who expected that their retreat would be harrassed only by the Japanese eav- airy from the westward.
 Yesterday (Saturday) morning one division of Japanese encountered sev- eral Russian regiments retreating along the road to Tie Pass. The Jap anese descended from the hills upon the Russians who attempted to break through the lines. After a sharp en- gagement in which the Sapanese guns did great execution. 4,000 Russians sur- rendered with their guns. The Japa- nese lost 100.
 According to stories told by tho cap. tured Russian Officers and the appear ance produced by their troops the re. treat lacks organization and every bat- talion Is shifting for Itself.

FORTIFYING TIE PASS.

 perata stand.
 St Petersburg, March 14.-Russia's s grand army" with the exception of the thousands killed or taken prisoners on the plains and mountains around Mukden, is gathering slowly behind the fortifca tions of Tie Pass, which were built as a refuge before the battle of Liaoyang and is feverishly engaged in the work of reorganization and further strengthening its lines. According to the general staff. the main body has all ready completed its retreat and the rear guard southward is falling black slowly, keeping in touch with the pur- suing columns of the Japdnese In the complete absence of further informa- tion yesterday. 1t is difficult to say whether the pursuit has slackened or is being conducted by only a portion of the Japanese. Military officers here hope that as after the battle of Liao- yang. Field Marshal Oyama has paused to give his weary troops a momentary breathing space while extending his railroad and other lines of supply to his new position and preparing for the next blow
 To the Russian army every minute is now valuable, and the foot-sore and disheartened attachments have been given scarcely an hours rest before be- ing set at work improving the defences of Tie Pass
 It may be. however, that even now they are being turned out of these po- sitions. Rumors are current that wide eastward hanking movement which was begun before the battle is still in progress and on the other side 1t is feared that columns are moving north of Fakoman to take a position in the Russian rear.
 General Kuropatkin still holds com mand. An officer of the general stan said today that he probably will not retire until some semblance of order

QUESTIONS CERTIFIED.
Three Propositions Which Came Before
 the Supreme Court.

Washington, March l3.--(Special)-- The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday decided the case of Cylatt vs. The United States. involving the con- stitutionality of the peonage statute. Clyatt was convicted in the Circuit Court of the United States in Florida of the offense of having returned cer- tain persons to a condition of peonago in violation of Section 6526 of the Re- vised Statutes, and was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. He took his case by writ of error to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Arguments were heard there, and that court, desiring instructions from the Supreme Court. certified three questions or propositions of law to tho Supreme Court for answer. After the case was certified to the Supreme Court, Clyatt obtained a writ of certiorari to bring up the entire record. The case was, therefore, before the Supreme Court both on the merits and on the questions certified by the Court of Ap- peals. The questions certified to the Supreme Court were as follows:
 1. Is the act of unlawfully and for- cibly arresting and returning a per- son to the custody and control of such persons creditor. to be by nim held against the will of the debtor, to labor to pay the debt, violation of the laws of the United States within the mean ing of section 5526 of the revised sta- tutes of the United States?
 9. Is the act of unlawfully and for cibly arresting and returning a per- son to the custody and control of such persons creditor to be by him held against the will of the debtor, to labor to pay tbe debt. violation of the laws of the United States within the mean ing of section 5526 of the revised sta- tutes of the United States, when at the time of the arrest and return of such person there existed in the State to which he was returned to be so held no statute of the State of usage there- in creating or sanctioning peonage or a system of peonage9
 Third-Do the acts and conduct of the defendant as charged in the indict- ment constitute the offense of holding. arresting. or returning to condition of peonage within the purview of sec- tion 5526 of the revised statutes?
 The Supreme Court answered the questions in the affirmative and held that the peonage statute was consti- tutional and operated upon individuals. whether there was any State statute or usage creating or sanctioning peon- age or a system of peonage. Tho judgement of the lower court was re- versed on the merits, because 1t was not sufficiently shown by the evidence that the negroes named were in fact returned to a condition of peonage.
 This ruling Of the Supreme Court sustains the decision of the United States Court in the peonage cases tried here in the summer of l901.

BerIin Confident of Peace.

Berlin. March 13.-The opinion that peace between Russia and Japan is near is apparently gaining ground here. The Kruz zeitung. the foremost authority on Russian affairs in the German press. believes that Emperor Nicholas cannot long disguise from himself the fact that he lacks the re- sources and power necessary to re- conquer Manchuria because 1t will re- quire many years to double track the Siberian Railway.
 The paper quoted regards the Elm peror's announced determination to con- tinue the war at all costs as a mere threat designed to cause the Japanese to moderate their peace terms.

SILVER MEN ANXIOUS.
Want Relief Because of MexicO's None
 tnry Reform.


 tary Reform.
 City of Mexico, March 13.-The prin- cipal mining men of the country will meet in this city in convention tomor- row, when silver miners will frame a petition to the Government asking for relief from taxation in view of the fact that the monetary reform will close the hints of the Republic to the free coinage of silver. The tax on silver is often threefold. There Is federal tax and sometimes a municipal tax. The miners urge that the closing of the hints will reduce silver to the level oi any other commodity. and that 1t is un- just a heavy tax-should weigh upon the industry discredited in certain meas 'ure by the law now authorized but not yet put in operation.
 The Government is in sympathy with the mining interests and Is disposed to do all in its power to Tighten the bur dens mentioned. The harmonious re- lations of the Government with the sil- yer miners assures a compromise sat- isfactory to both parties.

PISTOL WENT OFF.
DadeviIle Man Causes Excitement in
 St. Louis Depot.


 St. Louis Depot.
 St. Louis. March 3.-(Special. "A large bullet, discharged accidentally from a revolver which had just fallen from the pocket of A. L Smith, a mer- chant of Dadeville, Ala, caused a panic today in the union station waiting room. The cause of the revolver's fall was jolt Smith received in the crowd. The bullet was discharged by collision of the revolver with the Tagging. Policemen rushed to Smith. who was as much surprised as anybody, and then traced the bullet which passed the feet of many men and women into the lower panel of an oak door leading to the midway. There the bullet had halted.
 The passage of the bullet through the crowd without hitting anybody is regarded as almost miraculous. Smith was instructed to remove the cartridges and put the revolver in his suit case. He did so. apologizlng pro- fusely.

NEW YORK FASHIONS
Patterns For Lady's Costume Designed by Mar
tia Dean-Nos. $3.50 and 623l

So many and so diverse are the fashions
this season that 1t requires q genius to
decide what to choose. Fashions are so
entirely changed from anything that has
prevailed for some years that 1t is hard
to aocustom oneself to such markedly
different effects. The question, therefore,
of what Is most becoming should rule in
the selection of gowns, and especially the
street gown, for this is the costume in
which q woman Is oftenest seen by her
neighbors and by which her sartorial rep
utation Is judged. Such gown she dons
for shopping, for morning calls. for
church and for all other practical pur-
poses. The full skirts are not to every
ones taste. especially II nature has mel
blessed one with q good figure, but when
the fi2llness Is disposed Of, as in the Illus
tration, by plaits at the seams It not only
supplies the width according to Dame
Fashions DEGREES, but the long lines add
to ones height as well. The blouse also
has taken on new lines, for now In order
to keep the bodice and full skirt in proper
proportion 1t Is necessary to broaden the
shoulders. This is accomplished by many
little devices. but the easiest Of all Is the
use OF the leg o. mutton style sleeve.
The one In the costume Is q variation OF
the usual style, inasmuch as the fnllnesss
at the upper edge IL taken up in plaits.
which In turn are attached to the strap
or extended edge. This not only gives
square breadth to the shoulders, but is
charming mode ais well. This style gown

fines several new ideas and knacks which
fashions edict sanctions for the new sea-
sons models. Sizes. No. $3.50, 80 to AZ
