Mrs. Wendall F. Wadsworth, when the
presidents day was celebrated in a
manner most satisfactory to all. The
business session was conducted by the

report Of the delegate. Mrs. Helen F.
Stanley was given and accepted. The
travelling library supported by this club
was reported to be at Scarboro and
there are at present quite large num-
Der of new books to be added. The
program included a biography of Will
Carleton and selections were read from
several of his well known poems. An
informal discussion as to the wonderful
hold which his poems have on the gen.
eral public took place and it was
unanimously decided that it was the
man who could quicken the heart
throhs at will with the common every
day tales of life who is generally ap-
preciated. After the program was con-
cluded the ladies were invited to the
dining room, where a very fine high tea

WOUNDED ARRIVING.

Mukden. Jan 30.-Constant streams Of wounded men are arriving here from the right flank. including Lieuten- ant-General Mistchenko. who Is In ex- cellent spirits and is receiving visitors According to the official army organ the wounded number 3;506. The cold Is intense and the condition of the wounded causes the greatest anxiety because the exposure of their wounds t0 the frost induces gangrcne. Proven. tive precautions have been taken. but the wounded are suffering the greatest pain.
 The Japanese are taking good care tc see that the Russian rank and file are not left uninformed regarding the disturbances in Russia. They are car rying on regular campaign to spread sedition and discouragement among the troops. Letters are daily thrown within the Russian lines declaring that all Russia is aflame with riot and re- volt. arguing that the soldiers arc shedding their blood in vain and calling on them 10 surrender or desert. The soldiers eagerly read and discuss these communications, especially accounts of the events at St Petersburg Janu
 ary 22. The sincere hope is expressed on all sides that the Russian nation will forgo internal differences and not play into the hands of the Japanese.

NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE.

St Petersburg, Jan 31.-The Associ- ated Press telegrams from Manchurla do not indicate developments of lm- portance since General Gripenbergs order to abandon the advance. The Japanese yesterday made demonstra. tion in the eastern district, but appar- ently 1t was not serious. The opera tons on the Russian right will prob ably not occasion further heavy tight. ing at present unless the Japanese de- termine to follow up their counter offensive movement. which is not likely in view of dispatches from Muk- den saying the cold is more intense, thus rendering the movements of large bodies on either side well nigh impOs- sible One result of the bitter cold has been greatly to increase the nor. tality an~lg the wounded. Military critics do not express approval of Gen. eral Kuropatkin's of'e0 sive, the Novoe Vremya declaring 1t was failure and the Russ saying it was neither a reconnaissance in force nor demon stration. hence it could only have heeD undertaken to capture a strategical point and this object was not justified by events.
