KUROPATKIN'S FAILURE.
Assumes All Responsibility for Defeat
Resigns His Command.

A cablegram from ST. Petersburg says:
General Kuropatkin, in reporting to tho
emperor that the remnants of his armies
are nearing Telling, asks the ears gracious
permission to hand over the command, al
Ieging his urgent need of physical and men,
tai rest The official dispatches record the
loss of nearly 800 guns, scores of regimental
colors and over 100000 men.
General Kuropatkin has telegraphed to
the emperor assuming all the responsibility
for his defeat, making no excuses except
that the strength of the Japanese was mis-
calculated, and refusing to place any blame
upon the council of generals, upon whose
advice he determined to give battle. This
manly course and the generals personal
exertions in directing the retreat will. how
ever, hardly save him. His reputation as
an offensive strategist is gone, and though
the emperor's military advisers know not
where to look for better general, his res
ignation will be accepted.
1t will be difficult to find a capable sue
cessor; but it Is said that 1t probably
will be General Grodekoff, governor Of
Amur, although in casting about for an
other commander-in-chief some military
officials turning to General Dragomiroff,
who is considered to be Russia's greatest
strategist but he is feeble old man. suf-
fering with heart affection, and 1t is high
ly improbable that he would be able to even
make the long trip to Manchuria.
In losing General Kuropatkin the army
will lose the idol of the private soldiers, an
officer who, in spite of the intrigues of his
generals and his failure to win battle,
has won their confidence and affection.
General Kuropatkin admits that /, 100 off,
GERS and 1881 men are not responding to
roll calls This is rather vague. 1t may or
may not include the thousands of wounded
who have been sent north. and again it
may not include the losses suffered by the
third army, with which the commander in
chief was not In communication for some
time. The figures given by the Japanese
war Office appear more reasonable, namely
10000 prisoners, 26,5OO dead left on the
field. and $4,000 killed wounded. the lat
ter figure. of course, including the dead
found by the Japanese. The Russian losses
therefore, total over 10000 men, or more
than one-third of the whole army.
The fact that the Japanese report the
capture of only sixty guns indicates that
Kuropatkin at the last moment succeeded
in sending a considerable portion of his ar
tillery northward on the railway.
The Japanese losses up to yesterday
morning were reported as Al ,222 not includ-
ing the army which pushed north between
Mukden and Fushun.

FEELING AT TOKYO.
Tone of japanese Press Favors Prose-
cution of War.

A cablegram from Tokyo says: The
japanese press editorials, in discussing the
possible effect of the victory upon peace,
declare Japan will continue the vigorous
prosecution of the war, and has no sug.
gestion to make to Russia, directly or in.
directly.
In the general elation over the success
of the japanese a special source of sats-
faction is the celebrity with which the
thanking operations were carried out. the
quick seizure of advantages and the speed
made in pursuit of the Russians.
After the summer campaign there was a
general admission of the truth of the re.
peated criticism that the Japanese army
had failed in those respects, and an avowed
determination was made to redeem the
shortcomings. During the recent opera
tons against the Russians the left portion
of the fifth army marched forty miles in
one day, greatly aiding in the achievement
of the victory.
Captives taken in this last engagement
make the total of prisoners now held by
Japan rs 900. Their case is becoming
very expensive problem. This government
is formulating plans to remove all military
prisoners to islands, probably in the Inland
sea, and it is possible that all the captiyes
Will be removed there.

Suggests Prayers for the Trusts.

Before the ministers of the New Jersey
conference Saturday Gov. Edward c. Stokes
advanced the suggestion that prayer and
preaching would be a better remedy for the
evils of trusts and railroad combina tons
than the usual laws enacted by state and
nation. This was brought out in an address
to a newly ordained class Of ministers
while L am a full believer in passing
remedial legislation he said, lit has been
my experience that any sort of law will be
circumvented by human ingenuity. What Ia
needed is a higher sense of honesty and
right which will prevent the oppression Of
the poor by those in power and inculcatiou
of this principle is the business of the
preachers of the country rather than the
legislators
