Gen. Kuropatkin hurried reinforce
ments to his left wing, drawing large
masses of troops from Gen. Kaulbars,
commanding the right wing of his
army. There were indications that an
attack was threatened on Gen. Bilder-
ling. commanding the Russian center,
south of Mukden, so his force was left
intact. 1t was not until Feb. %. how
ever, that fighting began along the
whole line. On the right flank the
combatants were so near each other
that the Russians flung hand grenades
into the village of Sandipu, forming
Gen. Oku's left position. Both on the
Russian right and center Kuropatkins
forces won some temporary successes.
The next day. however, 0ku began to
put heavy pressure upon the Russian
right. capturing some walled villages.
Gen. Oku turned the Russian right
flank on March 3. The next day Kuro-
krs forces defeated two Russian di-
visions and forced their way across
the Hun river TO the east of Fushun.
But the terrible revelation of March /
was the sudden appearance of Gen.
Nogi with his Port Arthur army from

That the battle of Mukden is the
greatest in the history of war may
readily be believed. In round num-

$4,000. with 1880 guns. The Japanese
army is believed to have exceeded
these figures in strength by perhaps
10000 men.

ARMY HEAD DISGRACED.
Gen. kuroparkin Dismissed by CT
without Word of Praise.

Gen. kuroparkin Dismissed by Car
without a Word of Praise,
With the Japanese hanging on the
heels and hanks of the remnants of the
broken, defeated Russian army, Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, the old idol of the private SOL
der, has been dismissed and dlsgraced
and Gen. Linevitch, commander of the
first army, is appointed to succeed him
IN command OF all the Russian land and
sea forces operating against Japan.
The word disgrace is written in large
letters in the laconic imperial order ga
zetted, which contains not a single word
OF praise, and also disposes of the rumor
that kuropatkin had asked to be reliev-
ed. The Russian military annals con-
tain no more bitter imperial rebuke.
While it was known that the war coun-
Gil had already decided to supplant Ku-
ropatkin after the Mukden disaster. the
decision to confer the task of saving the
remainder of the army on Lineyitch in
the very midst of its fight came as n sur
prise.
1t transpires that Emperor Nicholas
upon the advice of Gen. Dragomiroff and
war Minister Sakharoff determined tho+
the step was necessary when il hecamo

tratlng for stand at Tie Pass, seemed

The explosion of boiler in the shoe
factory of Il. Is. Grover & Co. at Brock
ton, Mass, wrecked the building and
killed perhaps fifty persons. Many of
the bodies taken from the ruins were so
terribly mutilated and burned as to make
identification difficult. if not impossible.
Upward of 200 persons were at work in
the departments near the boiler room at
the time.
The boiler which exploded was located
on the ground floor of an IL which ex-
tended from the main building. In the
three stories of the Il" were work
rooms. Persons living near heard dull
roar and saw a cloud of smoke rising
and the Il" of the factory falling 10 the
ground. Flames burst from the ruins,
spreading quickly to the main structure,
which IN few minutes was a roaring
furnace Most of the employees in the
main part of the plant succeeded in es-
Gaping, although in the terrible panic
which followed the explosion quite a
number were injured.
The hremen experienced the greatest
difficulty in battling with the flames as
the Grover factory was of an extremely
intammable nature and nearly all the
floors were saturated with oil. The
flames extended to the Dahlburg block,
tour-story wooden building on the 0ppo-
site corner of the street, and to a number
OF wooden dwellings, half a dozen or
more of which We're destroyed. The Dahl
burg block was also burned.
The heat of the fire was so intense that
the work of the fremen and police was
carried on under great difficulties. Tons
of water We're poured on to the II"
but the fire from the main structure be-
came too hot for effective work. and the
entire plant, with those who failed to
escape, had to be abandoned
Meanwhile news of the accident had
reached the homes of the operatives and
through the crowds already near the
burning factory, mel and women were
struggling wildly toward the center 10 get
news OF relatives. Cries which sounded
above the roar of the flames were heard
as frantic women learned that there
was little hope for any one who was
caught in the ell of the building. When
the flames reached Dahlborg's block even
the tiremen were obliged to retreat tenn
porarily.
The financial loss to r. b. Grover &
Co, estimated at about $150,000, is near
ly offset by insurance.

MURDERER KILLS ACCOMPLISH.
OK raul Slayer Makes Away with One
VINO Assisted in Another Crime.

Inc body of young man, alleged ac-
complice of Edward Gottschalk. who is
charged with the murder of Christian
Schlndeldecker in his East Seventh
street butcher shop Feb. Is, was found
IN the Mississippi river at st. Paul by
the police, who have been dragging the
river Tor days on the supposition that
after having assisted in the murder of
schlndeldecker Hartmann was then kill
ed to prevent him from giving informa-
ton about the murder. No doubt can
exist that young Hartmann was muir
dered. Upon his feet were tied two
] avy fiatirons to keep the body from
rll ng to the surface. On the back of the
head was a cut, apparently made with a

MYSTERY Wells woMAN's DEATH.
Body with Knife Wound Over Heart
Found in Creek Near Cincinnati.

The body of a woman, evidently the
victim of a murder, was found in Bloody
Run creek, in North Avondale, a sub
urb OF Cincinnati. A knife wound over
the heart was the evident cause of death.
The corpse had probably been in the
water for several weeks, and decomposi-
ton was so far advanced as to render
identification difficult. 1t is the theory
OF the police that the murder was COM
mitted in another portion of the city and
that the body was concealed in sewer
and was washed out by the recent high
waters into Bloody Run creek. The body
is apparently that of woman of %
years. The police say that the only
chance of Identification will be through
the remains of the clothes, as the fea-
lures are entirely indistinguishable.

Ten Dollars a Year.

A Russian correspondent of the Lon
don Statist, vouched for by that journal
as Gin a position to have the very best
information" asserts that the average
revenue Of a peasant in Russia is only
$40 a year, of which sum he has to pay
$3.50 for the needs of the government"
How a man can live on less than 3
cents a day in Russia or in any other
cold climate is not capable of explana-
ton. The strikers in Warsaw, the cor
respondent says, work 60 hours a week,
and weavers there earn only $3.06, while
other workers get less, They are not al
lowed to form labor unions. Agricul-
tural laborers receive very much less
pay.
