An interesting story of the cour-
tesy Of the Japanese soldiers is told
by a missionary of the Presbyterian
foreign board, located at Yokahoma.
Several years ago Mrs. Isabella Bird
Bishop, the well known traveller. was
on her way from Chemulpo to Seoul,
on cold winter day, and when she
reached the halfway resting house,
was suffering severely from the cold.
To her dismay she found the guest
rooms of the house completely occu-
pied by body of soldiers who were
also making the journey. No other
place of rest and refreshment was
available and she did not know what
she should do.
To her great surprise the soldiers
in the chief guest room at once vacat-
ed the place, and several of them
came forward to assist her to dis
mount. The act was entirely i'm
promptu. for no officer was with them
and no orders were given.
A solhier spread his blanket on the
floor for Mrs. Bishop to rest upon,
and every care was taken to see that
she was not disturbed while having
her refreshment and rest.
When she was ready to continue
her journey soldiers brought her
horse and assisted her to remount.
She took some coins from her purse
and offered them to her benefactors,
but they were politely and firmly de-
clined, and all she could do was to
thank the men who had shown so
much kindness to passing stranger.
The study of the language is al
ways a difficult part of the work of
the missionary especially when he is
stationed in China or Japan, and 1t
is characteristic that when the Rev.
]. G. Dunlop, Presbyterian mission
ary at Fukui, Japan, took his first
vacation in nine years, he should have
spent much of his time enlarging his
knowledge of the language.
He says: 81 spent the time, when
not swimming, making a determined
attack on the Japanese characters. l
studied early and late and came home
with a stock of 100 characters added
ito about 700 which / had before the
summer. The possession of these
1890 characters made me feel inn
mensely richer than If 1 had $500.
No miser ever gloated over his dol
lars more than l have over that stock
of characters, for with that number
in his head, one will recognize SO per
cent of the characters he meets in
print"

spiracy to violate the United States
baAking laws by conspiring 10 pro-
cure the certificatiOn Of checks on
national bank when there were no

remaining IA, one-half charged her
with securing the certification or
checks without having the proper en-
tries made on the books OF the bank.

Republicans of Missouri Legislature
Pick st. Louis Man for Senator
Kercns Partisnns stay Out.

Jefferson City, NO., March 14.-At a
caucas last night attended by 81 re-
publican members of the legislature,
in an endeavor to break the deadlock
over the selection Of a United States
senator, a resolution was adopted bind
ing the members to vote at the joint
session of the legislature for two con-
secutive days for the candidate who
receives AZ votes in the caucus ballot
ing.
This means that the members OF
the legislature are released from the
caucus action when Thomas X. Neid-
ringhaus was nominated for the SEN
atorship. The Kerens republicans took
no part in last nights caucas and 1t Is
regarded as extremely improbable that
they will agree to desert Kerens for
any selection the Niedringhaus men
may make for a compromise candidate.
The balloting resulted in the selec-
ton of Judge S. p. Spencer, OF st.
Louis, as the choice of the caucus and
according to the agreement, the ballots
Of the 53 republicans present at the eau
Jus, at least, will be cast for him
FOR the next two days.

Omaha, Neb., March S.-During the
course of his deposition in his petition

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The i'm
mediate answer of the Russian govern
ment to the defeat at Mukden Is the
announcement that new army Will
be raised and the forces In the far east
reorganized; that Vice Admiral Rojest-
wnsky will be ordered to sail on and
try conclusions with Togo and that the
war will be prosecuted to the bitter
end.
This is the present temper of Empe-
ror Nicholas and his dominant advt-
sors, voiced in the firm official an
nouncement that the position of Russia
is unchanged and that the initiative
for peace can only come from Japan.
Should the island empire choose to
tender moderate" terms and recognize
its adversary rs the power in the far
east, peace could be easily arranged;
but the voice of her diplomacy in
various parts of the world indicates
that she is not ready to do this and the
Russian government, with the full
magnitude of the disaster at Mukden
still undetermined, but with the 1908
campaign seemingly already hopeless
ly compromised, retreat to Hardin
inevitable and Vladivostok practically
lost, declares that the time has not yet
come when Russia can be forced to
humble herself.

excuses except that the strength OF the
Japanese was miscalculated. and re-
fusing 10 place any Of the blame upon
the council of generals upon whose ad-
vice he determined to give battle. This
manly course and the generals personal
exertions in directing the retreat will,
however, hardly save him. His reputa-
ton as an offensive strategist Is gone
and though the emperor's military adj
visors know not where to look for a
better general his resignation will be
accepted. In losing Gen. Kuropatkin
the army will lose the idol of the pri-
vate soldiers, an officer who, in spite
of the intrigues Of his generals and
his failure to win a battle, has won
their confidence and affection.

for $500 10000 a sea-level canal that

Toxic, March 11.-Field Marshal
oyama telegraphs as follows under
Fridays date: I'VE occupied Mukden
at 10 this morning. Our surrounding
movement, In which We have been en-
gagged in for some days past, has now
completely succeeded. The fercest
fighting continues at several places In
the vicinity of Mukden. We captured
a great number OF prisoners, enormous
quantities OF arms, ammunition, pro-
visions and other war supplies. There
is ut present no time to investigate
the number of these"
Fushun was occupied by the Japan
csc Thursday night. The fighting con-
tinues on the heights north OF Fushun.
Newchwang, March 11.-According TO
reliable information received here the
Russians, having been driven out OF
Mukden and Fushun, and, with the
railroad cut, are retreating In q de-
moralized condition to the hill country
towards the northeast. Detached bodies
of Russians are roughly entrenching
with a view to checking the pursuit,
but no rear guard action Is being
fought. 1t will be impossible for the
Russians to keep up any sort OF re-
sistance for many days, as there are no
means of provisioning in the rough
country through which they are re-
treating. 1t Is believed that the Rus
slams may attempt 20 reach Kirin, 225
miles northeast of Mukden, through
the valleys, but a special japanese
corps from the direction of the Yalu
river (probably Gen. Kamamura's
forces) threatens to cut them on.
Gen. Kuroki is advancing northwest
and is forcing the Russians against
Gen. Nogi's army. The casualties on
both sides have been enormous. The
Russian 10th army corps was practi-
cally annihilated at Tatchekiao. Eight
thousand Russians fell at Leukuanpao.

IT'S A REAL HORROR
Cars Armies Lose $4,000 Killed
and Wounded Along Shakhe.
In Many Instances whole Regiments

Guns Fell n Prey TO
Oynma.

Mukden, March 14.-Every hour In
creases the magnitude OF the disaster
suffered by the Russian armies. Today
25,000 dead are known to have been
left on the field, making the casualties
at least 100000. Between $4,000 and
$4,000 prisoners, some 70 guns and
enormous quantities OF ammunition
and provisions fell into the hands OF
the Japanese. The Japanese losses do
not exceed those of former great bat
ties, even Gen. Kurolsi's army losing
only 5000. Field Marshal Oyama's
plans completely deceived Gen. kuro-
patkin. The Russian commander mis-
Judged the positions and strength of
the Japanese. He at first thought that
Gen. Nogi's Port Arthur army was
pressing his east flank, and concen-
trated q great force there. This force
he was afterwards Obliged to shift to
Mukden, where 1t arrived in a state
Of exhaustion after q forced march. and

Mukden began March 8. 1t became q
demoralized flight when the Russians
discovered that their egress was being
blocked by Japanese infantry and ar
tillery from the east. The rapid APP
preach of the Japanese was complete
surprise to the Russians. who expected
that their retreat would be harassed
only by japanese cavalry from the
westward.

st. Petersburg, March 14.-Telegrams
from the Russian side, though in
adequate as a basis for any detailed
estimate of the Russian losses. show
that they have been extremely heavy,
enough to cripple offensive operations
for many months. Gen. Kuropatkir adj
mits that 10000 wounded were carried
off, but says nothing as to how many
killed. wounded and prisoners were
left behind: and from his picture OF a
little handful of two officers and $50
men of the imperial rifles marching
off, led by their gallant colonel, cling
ing to their standard, can be derived
some idea of the losses sustained by
the regiments that bore the brunt OF
the fighting. The exploit Of the 600 at
Balaklava pales beside this. Even the
losses in the bloody angle" Of the
wilderness and in the battle of Antie-
tam are scarcely comparable.
Another tragic picture of the re-
treat is related in connection with the
retirement of Gen. Rennenkampff's de-
tachment from Cubenepusa with bare
ly one-third of It's original strength,
the brave soldiers breaking down and
sobbing and kissing the blood-stained
ground which they had been ordered to
relinquish.
