ing almost in the outskirts of Mukden.
According to latest reports this morn
ing the lighting went well for the Rus
slams, who beat back the wave that
threatened to roll over Mukden as it
had over the Notifications of Port
Arthur, but nothing is known as to
what is going on beyond the line of
breakers; whether part of General
Nogi's force, is in full career for Tie
pass or whether the Japanese have
staked all in cast against Mukden.
The imminence Of the peril on the
west wing has withdrawn attention
from the operations on the center and
left where the fighting has been ex-
tremely heavy, and on the left, es-
pecially, where the Japanese gains are
sufficiently great TO cause apprehen-
sion.
In other respects the situation also
resembles that at Liaoyang. the Japan
ese making a costly demonstration to
hold the Russians in their fortifica-
lions on the center and throwing away
the lives of thousands in order to give
the thanking forces an opportunity to
administer a telling blow.
A feature of all accounts of the fight
ing reaching st. Petersburg is the
emphasis laid on the awful carnage.
There Is reference after reference to

Japanese to construct hasty entrench-
ments. The Russian losses on both
TANKS are conceded to be enormous,
but 1t is claimed that the defenders of
the center suffered comparatively lit
tie by the Japanese bombardment and
beating off the Japanese attack.
The attacks delivered by General |
Nogi's soldiers were marvellous in view |
of the forced marches which they made
for five or six days. recalling the rec
ords of Stonewall Jacksons foot cav
airy" They entered the battle with
the greatest dash and fought day after
day with vigor. but those of them who
were taken prisoners dropped to the
ground utterly exhausted and hardly
able to speak They had not eaten
for two days which accounts in part
for their utter fatigue.
General Kuropatkin's line Of com
has not been touched,
though 1t is in extreme jeopardy.
At the close of yesterdays battle on
the west front the Japanese who were
taken prisoners were unable to walk
or remain awake on account of ex-
haustion, and lay like dead under the
guard. This incident shows the ire
mendous effort back of General Nogi's
engagement.

On the third finger of President
Roosevelt's left hand during the inau-
gural ceremonies was a heavily en-
bossed gold seal ring. The ring was a
present to Mr.. Roosevelt from Secre-
tary John Hay. Instead of a seal on
the oval fiat surface of the ring is a
receptacle with a glass face. Under
the glass is the lock or hair cut from
the head of Abraham Lincoln just af-
ter his assassination and before his
death. While in his room and wait
ing for the ceremonies in the senate
chamber to begin. the president called
attention to the ring. Secretary Hay.
he said had given it to him with the
expressed wish that it should be worn
during his Inauguration.
Il am very glad to wear it," added
the president, and shall always value
1t very highly"
The ring is very like in pattern to
the one which Mr.. Roosevelt wears on
the little finger of the same hand.
