MAY YET SAVE THRONE

ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-Prince
president of the Moscow
zemstvo, has written letter to Prince
Mirsky, minister of the interior, de-
Tending the discussion of reforms by the
Moscow zemstyo, which called forth the
condemnation of the Gar
Troubetzkoy's Warning.
Prince Troubetzkoy says:
Russia is now in a state af anarchy.
"The revolutionary movement now
proceeding is not simple disturbance
by the youth of the country. 1t is q
movement which reflects the attitude of
public opinion, and it is very dangerous,
even terrible, not only for the people.
but for the Emperor.
1T is therefore the duty OF every true
Russian subject to do what he can to
prevent the impending calamity.
Explained to the Gar
II recently had the happiness to see
the Emperor, and l reported TO him,
truly and In all sincerity, the present
state Of public opinion
II tried to explain TO his majesty that
what is now proceeding is not simple
emeute, but revolution.
THE Russian nation is being dragged
into a revolution which il does not want
and which may be prevented by The
Emperor if he shows confidence in his
people
May Save His Throne.
1T is my strong belief that If the EN-
peror will himself unite the nationa
forces around hin, he will relieve Russis
from the terrors of an impending blood.

IF he VIII do so the nation viii sup
port his autocratic power.
Under existing conditions it is I'M
possible to forbid the people from ex
pressing their sufferings.
1T is impossible to keep silence whel
the country is in a dangerous position.

Must Answer Now.
So far. Admiral Walker and The other
commissioners have paid no attention
to the attacks, and rumors of Executive
disapprobation have worried them not
in the least. The time has come, how
ever, in the opinion of nearly all. when
it is necessary that the commission
should take the public into it's conf
-dence.
The commission has been averse to
appearing on the defensive" said one

They are conservative, quiet workers

ANOTHER WAR IN THE SPRING.
Macedonia to Fight Turkey with Arms
Paid for by Miss Stones Ransom

Macedonia to Fight Turkey with Arms
Paid for by Miss stones Ransom.
Adyices received in Washington make
it certain that as soon as the snow melts
IN the Balkan mountains there is certain
to be war and destruction. The restrain
ing hand of Russia, which has prevented
hostilities between Bulgaria and Turkey,
Is no longer forceful, and the attempts
which have been made by the Austrian
and Russian ambass adors at CONSTANT
nople to induce the Sultan to behave
properly have ACCOMPLISHED nothing. The
revolutionary elemenr in Macedonia has
obtained funds in some manner, and is
said to be well supplied with arms and
ammunition. while the Bulgarian govern
ment has been preparing for war all
winter, and is likely to provoke an in
vaSion by the Turks which has been pre-
vented by Russian influence for the past
three years. Being no longer in a posi-
ton TO intervene with arms, Russia will
not have so much influence.
To understand the situation it is nee
essary to go back three years TO the
time when Miss Stone, the American
missionary, was a prisoner of the so
called bandits-really band of conspir-
ato2S representing the Macedonian com
mittee, which exists for the purpose of
emancipating Macedonia from Turkish
rule, has its headquarters at Sophia, Bull
garia, and spent her ransom for guns
and powder. This committee is very
much like the junta that encouraged and
directed the revolution in Cuba from 1896
to 1898. 1t collects funds, buys arms
and ammunition, and eQuips insurrec-
tionary parties which invade Macedonia
to take revenge upon the Turkish Off
Gals for their cruelties to the people
The Bulgarian government sympathizes
with the committee; almost every man,
woman and child in the kingdom belongs
to it, and contributes money for revolu-
tionary purposes as a sacred duty. Up
to this time Turkey has not attacked
Bulgaria because of fear of Russia, al
though the Sultan has had great provo
cation in the encouragement and assist
ance which the Bulgarians have given
to the revolutionists across the border.

making attack after attack, especially
ON the center and westward, against
machine guns and infantry fire which
literally moved down the advancing
columns, making human life so cheap
that the survivors could bastion them
selves behind piles of corpses.

kin's deposition may be regarded as

may be intrusted with the direction of
affairs.
A strong faction of the army, those
high in influence about the Emperor,
opposed General Kuropatlvin from the
first and though his early defeats were
condoned because it was realized that
General Kuropatkin was doing all that
man could with the tools at his com
mand. it is now felt that after twice
having had the opportunity to show
what he could do with a powerful
army and having failed to accomplish
victory either time his removal is adj
viSable
The Russian losses are enormous in
killed and wounded. Kaulbars lost
10000 men in four days trying TO check
Oku's advance. Sunday he lost 1000
in Nogi's first onslaught. Monday he
lost 5000 to 5000 more. Tuesday af-
ternoon and night he lost 1000 more.
General Rennenkampf'S corps had
nearly 10000 men when Ae went into
battle. In the eighteen days 6ghting
he lost a fourth of his meG-
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1905-03-21

Tuesday mornings dawn marked the
beginning of the rout. At that hour
Kaulbars, exhausted after four days
and nights of continuous battle, was
still fighting with the desperation of
despair at Ushutun, seven miles west
of Mukden railway station, while Nogi
was extending his lines still farther
northward toward Tie Pass.
Ushutun proved too hard a nut for
Kaulbars to crack. The houses of the
village are constructed with thick
walls and the villages are surrounded
by high clay ramparts, converting
them into Notifications impervious to
rifle bullets. Each house had to be
taken singly by hand to hand combats.
Again and again the Russians adj
vanced to the attack. Under the eyes
of General Kaulbars, who, with his
staff, moved about where the hail of
iron was thickeSt and who seemed to
bear a charmed life, the rifemen de-
ployed over the plowed fields as if at
maneuvers and without firing shot.
Though despatched by the continuous
bursting of shrapnel and lead they
pushed eagerly forward in close Skin
mishing order, captured the village,
and advanced on the Japanese TANKS.
The fight then grew more bitter, the
Japanese attacking madly, and at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon the Russian
position became untenable and Gen
eral Kaulbars withdrew his troops, the
japanese bidding them adieu with a
burst of shimose shells.
Opposite Tatchekiao the fighting
was of an equally desperate nature.
The Russians established themselves

As the result of the fianking move

their strongly intrenched positions and
forced to take another hurried back

Tired of Fabian Tactics.

A high Russian military official said
the Emperor had had enough of a general
whose Interpretation of victory was a
successful retreat; that Fabian tactics
are well enough in their way, but Iluro-
patkn went beyond those of Fabius and
neglected to take account of favorable
opportunities for cOunterstrOkes Friends
of Kuropatkin, however, say no other
general is apt to do well as he has done.
4 general who has just returned from
the front SAYS Kuropatkin's faults as
commander-in-chief are due to his bn-
reaucratic training and his desire to keep
all the reins in his own hands Instead
of relying on the judgment of the army
commanders to carry cut his general or
ders. he made of them simply orderlies
for the transmission Of specific orders
TO individual units. and kept constantly
before him a map showing the location
not only of the corps but Of the brigades
and regiments and undertook TO control
the movement Of every unit.
