Tie Pass, March 11.-2 p. m.-For
many versts all the approaches to Tie
Pass are covered With troops, artillery
and baggage transport pressing north
ward, and twenty-five miles away the
strong rear guard of troops, which is
personally commanded by General Ku-
ropatkin, is retiring slowly, doggedly
disputing with the pursuing enemy
every foot of ground in order to cover
the retreat of the remainder of the
army.
The losses in this defeat, which is
the most bitter yet experienced by the
Russian army by a moderate computa-
ton is not less than 200, 900 men ON both
sides.
The Russians in addition, sacrificed
enormous quantities of munitions and
stores, the greater part of which were
set on fire before leaving Mukden.
II is impossible ITO say whether the
Russians will be able to put up fgh;
and hold this position or whether it will
be necessary ito continue the retreat
to Harbin, but the rank and file, whose
military qualities never shine so bright
ly as in retreat and defeat, are far
from being panic stricken, and under
capable leadership and given a brief
time to strengthen positions may be
able to check their pursuing enemy at
this point.

a man with an English passport and
giving the name of Alfred Henry Nc
Cuilough, and wrecked the adjoining
rooms, killing the wife OF an officer
and injuring other dodgers The cx-
plosion was heard blocks away and
erected a tremendous sensation. There
is net the slightest doubt that the
man killed was connected with terro-
ist plots. The bomb was of the same
power as those which killed the late
Minister OF the Interior VonPlehve and
Grand Duke Sergius. The police be-
lieye Mccullough was charging the
bomb when it exploded.
An independent investigation made
by the Associated Press seems to cs-
tablish beyond question that the man
killed was a terrorist leader. His pass
port of course was fictitious, but the
man was a foreigner. not a Russian.
Just before the Grand Duke Sergius
was assassinated the man was absent
for two days, which might connect
him directly with the Grand Dukes
murder.

March 10 says:
THE retreat of the army was very
dangerous and especially trying for
those corps which were some distance
from the Mandarin road.
THE japanese penetrated far into
the mountains in the direction of Ia
wan. They threatened our troops but
thanks to extraordinary efforts our
armies are out of danger
The enemy cannonaded the route of
cur retreat from the east and west.
The eastern Mandarin road was bonn
barded at two points near Tawan and
Pu river.
Our troops are very brave.
THE reason the Japanese advanced
sc easily from the south lis that the
Hun river which covered our position
at Mukden was frozen over.

BITTERLY DENoUNCE LEADERS.
Strikers Realize That Their Fight
Against the Interborough Company

New York. March 1I-ReaIizIng that
their fight against the Interborough
Company has been lost, the old en-
pioyes Of the Subway and Elevated
Railway today crowded the Offices Of
the company seeking their former po-
sitlons. Some 5000 men applied for
reinstatement. but not more than 500
were accepted, the officials claiming to
be satisfied with the men who had en-
abled them 10 break the strike and
announcing that in future the rules as
TO sobriety would be more strictly ad-
hered to. All applicants were notified
that they had 10 pass the physical ex-
animation and go to work as new men,
which means that those who Went on
strike would lose their seniority and
the increased pay they had won for
length of service.
Messrs. Jencks and Pepper, the
strike leaders, admitted that the fig lg
had been lost and advised the men to
get back their positions If they could.
AS for themselves, the officers said
they would not again work for the
company. Mr.. Jencks held the press
responsible for the result, contending
that the papers had aroused a hostile
sentiment. The strikers bitterly de-
nounce their leaders, saying the men
were deceived by them.
The service on the subway and ele-
waited systems has not yet reached the
efficiency that prevailed before the
strike. The company promise more
regularity and frequency of trains by
Monday morning. Few accidents and

Official information from the Russian
headquarters in the field, supplemented
by dispatches from the Associated
Press correspondents with the army of
the Russian emperor, shows that Con
e1al Kuropatkin after suffering by far
the most severe defeat of the war,
mas succeeded as he did after the bat
tie of Lao Yang, in eNtricating the
remnants of his army from a position
which military experts twenty-four
hours before believed would result in
its aGlnihilaltiOn or surrender. The re-
treat from Lao Yang has been consid
cred the most mastery ever executed,
but it is far overshowed by this feat Of
the Russian general who has taken per-
sonal command of the troops. After
fighting for nearly three weeks, losing
in killed, wounded and missing, proba-

start of their pursuers, amid having no
guns or baggage to delay them seem
to have made good their escape. There
is still, however, a chance of General
Kamamurass army taking a hand in the
hattle and should they strike the Rus
slams at Tie Pass, or cut their commu-
nicAtions to the north the disaster to
General Kuropatkin's once fine army
would be complete. What part Of his
army the Russian general has saved is
apparently NOT known at the RUSSIAN
headquarters. All dispatches Indicate
that part of his force has been cut of.
General Kaulbars seems to have eXtrl-
Gated his corps, likewise Bilderling, but
not so Linevitch. The Associated Press
correspondent says the Japanese sep
arajted the first and fourth Russian
corps and adds that help could not be
sent them. Their fate is not recorded
and the Inference is that they have suf-
fered either defeat or capture. Tne
censor no doubt took out of the dispatch
what really happened to these corps.
The first is Stackelberg's old corps
which has borne the brunt of every bat
tile since Vafangow, and the fourth
under General Zaroubaieff has also
been in the thick of all the battles.
Rennenkampff's fate is still in the
