OYAMA TELLS OF TRIUMPH.
The Occupation Of Mukden and Success Of
Surrounding Movement

Toxic. (By Cable)-Field Marshal
Oyama telegraphs as follows:
'We occupied Mukden at 10 o'clock
Friday morning.
Our surrounding movement, in which
we have. been engaged for some days
past, has now completely succeeded.
The hercest fighting continues at sew
eral places in the vicinity of Mukden.
I'VE captured great number of pris-
oners, enormous quantities of arms, am
munition, provisions and other war sup
plies. There is at present no time to in
vestigate the number of these"
1t is unoficially reported that the Rus
sian strength west of Mukden consists
of two corps. The Japanese who de-
stroyed the railroad are pressing the
Russians northward, and the portion of
the Japanese center pressing the Rus
SLAMS northward along the Mukden road
is now engaged six miles north of the
Hun River.
The Japanese have also occupied Fu-
shun. Nearly all the Russians heavy
guns and many field guns have been cap
tured.

TRIUMPH OF JAPANESE ARMS
Mukden and Fushun Taken. and kurOpatkin Crushed
Gar to Send Out New Army---ResignatiOn
of Gen. KMOpatkn Will Be Accepted.

Russia will not give up the fight. Not
withstanding the peace talk in St. Pet
ersburg and Paris, the Gar has decided
to raise new army, reorganize the
forces in Manchuria and order the Sec
ond Russian Pacific feet to sail for the
Far East. 1t is admitted at the Russian
capital that it will be difficult to mobil-
ize another army, and some officials be-
lieve it impossible.
Russian officials say that only in the
event of Japan rendering moderate
terms and recognizing Russia's power in
the Far East can peace be easily ar
ranged. The Gar and his counselors
figure on Japan being unable to stand
the financial strain.
General Kuropatkin has assumed all
responsibility for his defeat. His excuse
is that he miscalculated the Japanese
strength. The Gar will accept his res
ignation as ommander-in-chief. Cen
eral Grodekoff may be selected to sue
coed him.
The Japanese are in touch with the
Russians at Tie Pass, and Field Marshal
Oyama is pushing the advantage gained,
determined, if possible, to drive the Rus
slams from their latest shelter and force
the fighting to finish. The troops ar
irving at Tie Pass are in a disorganized
state, showing that the retreat turned
into a panic.
The full extent of the Russian disaster
is still unknown. The Russian censors
eliminate all mention of the numbers OF
prisoners taken by the Japanese from
the press dispatches. Kuropatkin has
evidently lost the whole, or the larger
portion, of at least one army corps and
a part of another. He reports that I,1oo
officers and 1891 men are missing at
roll-call
While small portion of Kuropatkin's
army has reached Tie Pass, the greater
part of those who escaped from the bat
tie of Mukden are still struggling north
ward, being at last accounts between I2
and 16 miles from their goal, with the
Japanese, flushed with victory and rein
forced by fresh men, harassing them
from all sides. Even should the rem
nant of the army reach Tie Pass, it is
hardly possible for it to make stand
there against the overwhelming force
opposing it, especially as the Russians
must be worn out and weakened by the
loss of men, guns and ammunition.
According to Marshal Oyama's latest
reports the Russians taken prisoner in
the Shakhe district alone number 10000,
including Major General Nakhimoff. The
Russian killed and wounded in the same
district number 10000. They left TO-
500 dead on the field.
The Japanese casualties from Febru-
airy 26 to March IL were 4I,222.

JAps IN ANOTHER TURNING MOVEMENT
Russian Army In Such Disorder That Losses
Are Not Yet Determined.

Tie Pass (By Cable).-The Japanese,
it is reported, have ceased their pursuit,
at least temporarily. Some of the Jap
anese are rs miles below Tie Pass. A
resumption of their advance is expected.
Rumors are in circulation that the jap
anese already are attempting another
wide turning movement to drive the Rus
slams from Tie Pass.
The Russian troops here have been
arriving with hopelessly mixed units in
consequence of the change in the front.
The troops are being sorted out and or
CARNATIONS reformed and assigned to
places to defend the new position; but
whether Tie Pass will be held or aban-
doned probably will not be decided for
several days.
1t is still too early to tell the extent
of the Russian defeat, because not all the
parts of the army have been assembled,
and the losses during the retreat are
no small portion of the casualties.

WEALTH IN OUR COAL MINES.
Hundreds of Millions of Tons Are Produced
Annually.

Washington, D. c.. (SpeciaD 1.-THE
worlds coal production in 1908 reached
the enormous total of 864,ooo,ooo long
tons, of which the United States sup
piled more than any other country. Sta
tistics received by the Department Of
Commerce and Labor, through its Blu
reau of Statistics, indicate that the
worlds output of coal in 1908 was S64,-
100000 tons, of which the United States
produced 3Io,ooo,ooo tons, against $780,
100000 produced by Great Britain, 1907
100000 by Germany, 100000 by Aus
trai-Hungary and 100000 by France.
The worlds growth in coal production
is coincident with its growth in COM
merce, indicating the close connection
between, coal supply and industry and
transportation. From 1900 to 1850 the
worlds production of coal was relatively
small and only increased from IIH mil
lion tons at the beginning of that CEN
fury to 81 100000 in 1850; the worlds
commerce meantime increased from ST.
SOO,OOOOOO 10 94,OOO,OOO,UOO. OlllCc 1881
there has been a marked increase in the
production of coal and an equally nota-
BILE expansion of international commerce
Coal production has in the last half CEN
fury increased tenfold and commerce
more than fourfold, the former increas-
ing from 81 100000 tons in 1850 to So4.-
100000 tons in 1908; the latter from
$4,000, 100000 in 1850 to $22,ooo,ooo, 900
in 1908.
The rapid growth in the worlds pro-
duction of coal is even surpassed by the
record of the United States. In 1900,
when anthracite coal was practically UNI
known in the United States, the world
was producing over 100000 tons of
coal per annum. In 1870, when the
worlds coal production amounted to
2I3 100000 tons, the United States sup
piled but 100000, or about IS per
cent. of the whole, being exceeded by
Great Britain with 100000 tons and
Germany with over 100000. From
1870 to 1908 the growth in the worlds
coal production has been from $4,000
600 at the first-named year to So4 100000
in 1908, a gain of 65Ioooooo tons, or
over 400 per cent.

CUT WAR FUND OFF?
French Bankers Postpone Issuing New
Russian Loan.
THIS ACTION MAY FORCE PEACE.
These Bankers Are Believed to Fear the
Russian Reverses VIII Seriously Depreciate
the Value Of Russian Securities and Tha
the Cars Government Has Reached the
Limit Of Its Resources.

While it is believed the Russian war
council at its meeting considered the
question of peace announcement was
made that the war would be continued.
The important action of the French
bankers, however, in deciding to post
pone issue of the proposed new Rus
sian loan indefinitely because of the I'M
certainties of the war situation is very
significant. In some quarters the bank
ers' action is considered evidence that
Russia has reached the end of her re-
sources.
1t is reported that the French govern
ment has notified the bankers that they
must not conclude the loan unless Rus
STA is prepared to negotiate peace.
Field Marshal Oyama, according to a
Tie Pass correspondent, does not appear
to be pressing his advantage in an inn
mediate attack upon that position, but
the Russians fear the reported wide
turning movement Of the japanese, who
have the great advantage of several bases
and lines of supply. Kuropatkin is now
solely dependent upon one base and one
line of communication. He has no sup
plies between Tie Pass and Hardin.
Two American army officers, supposed
to be Major Macomb and Captain judi
son, were with the Russians captured
near Mukden.
London (By Gable 1.-THE Daily Mail
declares that the French government has
given Partisan banking houses clearly
to understand that they must not con-
clude the proposed Russian loan unless
Russia is prepared to negotiate for peace.
The revolt of the French bankers is
considered by the London newspapers as
the most hopeful and important news OF
the day, promising an early conclusion
of peace between Russia and Japan. APP
parently the proposed loan has not been
absolutely refused, but only postponed"
This, however, is regarded here as be-
ing tantamount to a refusal, and is ex-
pected to speak louder to the Russian
war party even than General Kuropat-
kin's reverse at Mukden.
1t is the general belief that by the
death of NJ. German, the late governor
of the Credit Lyonnais, Russia lost her
strongest financial friend in France, and
that had he been alive no difficulty would
have been experienced.

This delicate lining always quickly
