the night. The great question
now and over which the general
staff burned it's lights late Into
the night, is whether Field Mar
shal Oyama has entangled the
Russians In the strategic net suf-
hcisntly to prevent successful
retreat to Tie Pass. General
Rennenkanpff's forces, to the
eastward, admittedly is in
great danger of being cut off,
and a considerable force of
Japanese appear to he operating
on the Russians right we'll toward
Tie pass. If the japanese sue
csed in reaching the railroad and
interrupting traffic, if only for a
few hours, it may have the greato
est consequences for General
Kuropatkin, who is now engaged
in race with the japanese to
reach the naturally defensible
position, 40 miles northward.
Thus far, he has stood off all at
tacks directly against the tlanks
of his army, and holds the way Of
retreat open.
The Russians on Tuesday cap
tured 500 prisoners, who appear
to he almost exhausted.
The losses on both sides have
been enormous. The casualties
on tho Russians left flank on Tues
day exceed 1000.
The burning of commissariat
warehouses and the destruction of
supplies south of Mukden, which
has been in progress several days,
is said by Russian officere to be
complete. Everything that could
not be carried away was destroy
ed.
To-day the situation is most
tense. A terrific cannonading is
in progress and the streets of Muk
den rumble as with $1,000 drums.
CASUALTIES OF BATTLE HUNDRED
THOUSAND.
Toxic, March 8, 6, m The
great battle in Mancburla ragged
all day yesterday along the entire
enormous front. The Japanese
were victorious, and they
drove theRIssians from a series of
important positions. BY night
fall it seemed imperative that
Gen. Kuropatkin would have to
withdraw his shattered legions
and avoid complete disaster. In
deed, 1T appeared impossible for
him to effect retreat without
heavy loss of prisoners, guns and
storms. The continuous battle is
already the bloodiest of the war.
Upon the ground thst Gen. Oku
alone gained lie 5000 Russian
dead. The reports from other
armies are expected, to triple this
figure.
1t il estimated that the Jananese
have lost $4,000, making the
joint slaughter far exceed 100, 900
men. Details of the combat are
lacking, but it is believed that the
Japanese cut the railway north
of Muklen, leaving only
the roadways and light
rail way from Fushun to Tie
pass as avenues for the retreat of
the Russians, but army headquart-
ers refrain from affirming or deny
ing report to that effect.
1t Is thought that Muxden is
still in the hands of the Russians.

From good information, 1t is
known that general Kuropatkin
contemplated retirement before
the beginning of the battle, and
that he bad hoped to accomplish
1t without a serious combat. The
Japanese, however, forced him to
accept battle. The double turn

send the major part of his reserves

al effective countersstroke out of

 Are we going to rest content with be- ing Pharisees, or are we really trying to be Christians? Let each of us look into his own heart to-day, and find the answer. What is your ideal of success in life? ; Is it to become a reputable member of good society, and achieve substantial results in the way of for tune, family and friends, on which you can look with increasing complacency { Or is it to try to make the world better by a struggle which will be full of dan gers and mistakes and misunderstood ings, and in which to the very end of life you are likely to- remain far from the realization of your highest hopes :? In the former case you are Pharisee, no matter how much you may try to disguise the fact. In the latter case you are Christian, no matter what doubts may hold you back from ven- turing to call yourself by that name. If you choose the part of the Phari- see you will probably get something of the success which you desire; but in the, very process of getting it you will become constantly narrower and mean CT. Your ideals, limited from the first, will tend to become more. limited as the years go on. You will get so far apart from the big movement of hu- man thought and human sympathy that you will come to distrust them and to fear them. In all efforts for | moral progress you will become an ob- ! structionist instead of leader Con- tent with your position in the front
 ranks of society, you will seek to keep | things where they are, lreading a ! movement for the better almost as much as you would dread a movement for the worse, because any movement will menace the life of sterile satisfac- tion to which you have become accus- , toned.
 If you choose the part of the Chris l tian, your life will be a, hard one. You | will have to fight those who are op-
 posed to you and sometimes be beaten,
 which is bad enough. You will be mis- understood by those who should be on your side, which is worse. You will ! make mistakes of your own in judging | where the right really lies, which is

 Club and Then Failed to Appear in
 Court.
 Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Denrle- |hy captured James Lee in Bridgeport on a capias and brought him to this city. Lee is the colored man who went into police headquarters last Thursday evening and stated that he had lost SIS while playing cards at the Walters

DEAN PECK ON 'MEN TRAPS
SECOND ADDRESS BY DENVER
 MAN AT r. M. c 4.

! 4y E S , The Men Trap Is sssin crouching at the
 Door'-The Present Day Problem is
 to Escape It's Ciutches-selections by
 Associatioa auartct--Fourth of July
 Services Next Sunday
 Dean Peck, of Denver. gave his sec ond address to men in the Foy audito- rum yesterday afternoon, speaking on the subject Men Traps His remarks were based on the reference found in the fourth chapter of Genesis, seventh verse, If thou doest not well, sin crouchest at the door
 The figure is that of a fierce, power ful animal leaping on his prey which has come within his reach. Nothing. concerns man to-day more than how to get rid of sin, and sin is stronger than any man.
 Satan is a great devourer and he crouches everywhere for prey, but he cannot bounce upon a man if that man is not within his reach Satan is a great hunter and he places traps for all kinds of men. There is no race of men, no society, no culture on this earth where one can get away from his traps. Yea, we have them in ourselves and we cannot escape from ourselves. Every foot of earth is covered with traps, and men are struggling to free themselves from traps already sprung. He has traps for every part oe man, physical, intellectual and spiritual. It | is impossible for man to free himself from these traps, and the wages of sin l is death No one can ever whip the devil but Christ. Christ conquered Sa- tan when tempted by him in his physi- cal, intellectual and spiritual aspects, and in Christ is our only hope of free l dom.
 The association male quartette sang three selections.
 Next Sunday the auditorium will be used by the patriotic committee for services, to which the public is cordially invited.

PIcKPocKETs AT THE ROCK.

One Man Complains to the Police of D. fs Being Relieved of $40.
 Savin Rock was visited yesterday by thousands of people, and, according to the police there were soma pickpockets who piled their trade during the day most advantageously. A number of people complained of having been re- lieyed of valuables during the day and evening. One man stated to the West Haven policeYthat he had had his pock- .ets picked and that $40 in bills had been stolen. ri: .r
 It is said that the crooks played their game by getting into crowds and then pumping into people, relieving them of their valuables at the same time. Not only are the. West Haven police on the lookout for these miscreants,e but the New Haven police are at work on the case and hope to round the band up in

 There has been submitted to the pres ident and corporation of Yale universi- ty by the faculty of one of the depart ments proposition looking for consult
 tatiOn with the Yale department facul- ties hereafter on the matter of select ing and bestowing of the university's
 honorary degrees. The corporation. has referred the case to the university council. which, in turn, has left it to a committee of its own. The object of the movement is that each department hereafter shall not only have influence in the method of choosing the degrees, but also that each degree shall be. sub ject to fuller Investigation than hith- erto. Complaint has been made in years pastthat the honorary degrees have been bestowed after insufficient in- quiry by the committee of the corpora tion, which, under existing conditions, has largely had charge of the matter.
