The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1905-03-30

The week, which opened with the
Russian army in full retreat from
Mukden, closed with its fate i'll doubt.
Kuropatkin's divisions that had es-
capped death or capture arrived at Tie
ling, where reserve supplies and for
titled position awaited them. Then the
Russian army was driven out of Tie
ling. The remaining stores were burn
ed, many guns abandoned, and the re-
treat resumed.
st. Petersburg, naturally, was filled
with alarming rumors. 1t was report
ed that the railroad had been cut at
Changtufu, 40 miles north of Telling;
that there were strong Japanese col
umns east and west of the railroad
even farther to the north; that the
Russian forces had been driven into
the hills east of the railroad and were
trying to reach Kirin or Vladivostock; !;
that they were without food, ammuni-
ton, and artillery. There We're no
dispatches, official or otherwise, to con-
firm or deny these sensational reports.
The weeks dispatches added few
details to the sum of Russia's disaster
at Mukden. The war Office at Toxic
estimated the Russian force engaged in
the battle of Mukden at 376 battaiions
Of infantry, 17S squadrons of cavalry,
Ill batteries of artillery, or total
of 327 800 men and 1,36S guns.
Field Marshal Oyama reported the
capture of 10000 prisoners. His ar
mics counted 26,5CO dead. He esti-
mated the Russian wounded at 64,50O.
This total of 10000 casualties reduced
the effective Russian force to 1877 500
men-all that got safely through to
Tieling. st. Petersburg reports cred
tied Linevitch-who succeeded Kuro-
patkin-with 26SyOOO men, the figures
being achieved by including the rail
way guards and the Fourth army
corps, which had just arrived at Har-
bin. This force of 26S,OO0 men, badly
equipped. short of supplies, was re-
treating before force of perhaps fully
double its strength.
At a council of war held at Tsarskoe
Selo it was resolved to send a new
army of 100000 men to the far East
to continue the war. General Kuro-
patkin was recalled, practically in dis
grace, and General Linevitch placed
in command. The war party appar-
emily is still in power at st. Peters
burg.
There are disturbing indica tons that
Russia's credit is reaching limit. The
refusal of the French syndicate to con-
tract for a fresh loan of $125,0OO,0OO
has caused uneasiness in st. Peters
burg. At Paris it is stated vaguely
that the loan has only been postponed.
In st. Petersburg it is insisted the loan
will be made within ten days. The
proposal Of the Russian Minister of FL
nance that the banks of st. Petersburg
float an internal loan of S100,OO0,OOO
has not been well received. Still, it
would be foolish to assume that Rus
sia has reached the limit of her re-
sources. The fact that her gold re-
serve still stands at S674, SOC, 900 proves
that the Cars empire is not penni-
less.

Great Progress Made on Inter.Conti.
mental Through Railway.
Slowly but surely for long time the
iron bands that will make possible a
journey by rail from Manitoba to Buenos
Ayres are being heightened out. Reports
made at recent meeting of the Pan
American Railway committee, held in
Washington, d. c., show that in the past
year there has been unusual activity in
railway construction in the Latin-Amer-
ican countries, particularly in the way
of additional links in the inter-continental
trunk line.
An official statement from the Mexi-
can government announces that the line
from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the
border of Guatemala frontier is duly
proceeding.
In Central America several Inter
oceanic lines are being completed so as
to form through connection. The ex-
tension of the Argentina railway north
into Bolivia is going forward. The Bo-
ivian congress has dedicated the $10,-
100000 received from Brazil as terri
torial indemnity to railway construction.
1t is probable that these lines will be
built by American capitalists, and Unit
ed States engineers are now on the
ground. In Chilli the tunnel through the
Andes, which will provide through rail-
way communication from Buenos Ayres
to Valparaiso, is under construction and
the material goes from the United States.
Peru is following the law of the Pc
ruvian congress last year, providing a
railway guaranty fund. The govern
ment has completed surveys for the lines,
which will close several of the links be-
tween Lake Titcaca and the existing sys-
TENS. In Ecuador work ON the railway
from Guayaquil to Quito is proceeding.

A sEA.LevEL CANAL.
Engineers Favor O-e as Solution OF
Waterway Prablem.

The engineering committee of the 18th
mian Canal Commission has laid before
that body the first definite plans for the
construction of the Panama canal These
plans call for sea-level canal to cost
500, 100000 and that will require from
ten to twelve years to complete. The
proposed waterway is to have bottom
width of $50 feet and Il minimum depth
of water of 30 feet; with twin tidal locks
at Mirafores. whose usable dimensions
shall be 1000 feet long and 100 feet
wide. The engineeriSg committee recon-
mends that the Chagres river be controll
ed by dam at Gamboa. Under no cir
cumstances, according to the committee :
report, should the surface of the canal
be more than 60 feet above the sea. and

isthmus," the committee finds, There

ONE EFFECT OF THE WAR.
Many Cargoes Leaving Western Ports
for Japan.

Many Cargoes Leaving Western Ports
for Japan.
One effect of the war in the Far East
is to greatly stimulate exports from the
northwestern ports of the United States
to Japan. The Mikado's success in fore
ing the Russian bear to take to the tall
timber has led to the liberal purchase of
supplies, not alone of necessities, but
of construction material as well, the
whole making many shiploads.
In consequence large numbers of ex-
ira steamers are being chartered to rush
across the Pacific supplies of many kinds.
The big steamship Minnesota, four Jap
anese liners and the big freighters of the
Boston Steamship Company running from
Tacoma are insufficient to carry to Japan
the immense shipments of barley, -four,
meat products and other supplies now
piling up at Puget Sound ports. One
firm has chartered four large steamships
to load at Tacoma during the next thirty
days.
At least six heavy cargoes for Japan
will leave Tacoma this month, and as
many more next. Their cargoes will
include railroad supplies and equipment
for a road that is being built across
Korea. The steamships Shawmut and
fremont have already sailed. with an
aggregate of 10000 tons, chiefly for

Cara Minister for Peace.

While Emperor Nicholas, whose
word is final, still declines to abandon
the prosecution of the war and the
government maintains its ability to
continue the conflict, The Associated
Press states that powerful influences,
including several OF the emperor's own
ministers, are now strongly urging that
the time has come to indicate to Japan
Russia's desire for peace upon a rea-
sOnable basis.
Should Japan then attempt to impose
too onerous conditions, these influ-
ences argue that. in view of the uni
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended, Russia's position will be
strengthened abroad by the alienation
of sympathy from Japan. and the sit
nation is made to understand that the
emperOr's pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperOr's ministers in a
conversation with The Associated
Press correspondent said:
I'VE have suffered bitter defeat on
land and seq. We can, however, still
continue the war. But both countries
have suffered great losses in blood
and treasure, and it would only profit
the rivals of both were we to fight
on until one or the other is exhausted" !"
what would be Russia's attitude
on the subject of indemnify"
Russia never set has paid indemn-
ity and history practically affords no
precedent for indemnity when terri
tory is not occupied to insure payment
and Japan holds not foot of Russian
territory. Japan could, however. take
the proceeds of the sale of property
and rights of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way, which was built with Russian
money

Canada is to be invaded by peaceful

There are leaders of public opinion in
