Nothing in Peace Talk.

Washington, March 11.-"After Lao
Yang there was talk of peace. Rus
sia's answer was reinforcements. Like
Liao Yang, Mukden is the scene of
another retreat and again Russias
answer will be large reinforcements,
but of peace, not a word"
This was the emphatic statement OF
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, today in the light Of the morning
dispatches telling of the Russian re-
treat. The only official news he had
received in the last few days from his
government regarding the operations
is contained in a brief cablegram
which came last night saying that Gen
eral Kuropatkin was retreating after
days of fierce fighting. The ambas-
sadOr, however, was acquainted several
weeks ago with the final decision of
the emperor that Russia would con-
tinue the war until Russian arms were
victorious, regardless of the time it
would require, and already prepara
tions are being made for large rein
forcements to General Kuropatkin.
If an echo of peace should come out
of ST. Petersburg, no official in Wash
1ngton would be more surprised than
the Russian ambassador, VINO has all
along been positively informed that
nothing but victory for General Kuro-
patkin can bring an end to the war.

brotherhood Charter revoked.

Cleveland. March 11.-No reply has
UP to this hour been received from w.
T. Jencke head Of the striking Inter
borough engineers at New York to
whom a message was sent yesterday
revoking it's charter of subdivision
105., said Grand Chief Stone of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
today. Mr.. Stone said that it really
made no difference whether a reply
was received, or whether the charter
was returned or not. The members
of subdivision No. los, he said, were
no longer connected with the brother
hood. Mr. Stone added, however, that
the books of the subdivision must be
returned to the headquarters Of the
brotherhood here and that expected
to hear from Mr. Jencke concerning
them within few days. If the strik-
ers desire to again become members
Of the brotherhood they will have to
make application.

The Horses Will Run for the Crescent
City Derby.
New Orleans, March 11-With the
course ankle deep in mud the Cres-
cent City derby will be decided today.
This will be the eighth renewal of
the classic and a field of eight is card
ed to start.
RAMS Horn, the best colt yet re
ceived here, will start, and his admir-
ers figure he has chance in spite of
his dislike of heavy going. The change
in the track conditions mas benefited
every horse in the race except Rams
Horn. Trapper and the Williams colt
are about equal choices in the betting,
but shrewd horsemen, after his final
trial Thursday, believe Right Royal
to be the colt to be beaten.
Jack Martin, the best Jockey here,
will ride him. The chances of Kittfe
Platt, Kings Trophy and James San
ders have been improved by the change
in the going. The outsiders in the
race are Trif1er and Jim Beattie.
The distance is mile and an eighth
and the race will be worth about
$4,000. Had the course remained dry
Rams Horn would have peen an odds
on favorite.
The derby is now considered an open
event

st. Petersburg, March II, 3 p. NJ
The Associated Press learns that the
dispatches received by the Emperor
Nicholas from Kuropakin last night in
addition to announcing the retreat of
the Russian armies, added:
Our retreat is being conducted with
the enemy harassing both our flanks.
THE second army under Bilderling
has suffered the heaviest, both in
wounded and prisoners. How many
are surrounded is unknown. The army
is still in danger"
The curtain which shrouds the ex-
tent of the Russian disaster at Mukden
has not ben pierced. Nothing posi-
tive is known of the situation, not even
General Kuropatkin's own where,
abouts. The commander In chiefs
message announcing that all the ar
mics were in full retreat is the last
definite word from the battlefield. The
absence of news gives fine play to i'm
agination and the city is filled with the
most pessimistic reports. The pub
lie generally believes that the situa-
ton is much more serious than is
officially admitted here.

MANY OLD MEN LOSE THEIR JOBS

New York March 11.-Altheugh
nearly two days have passed since the
local leaders of the unions involves /
in the big street railway strike were
repudiated by their national officers
and the strikers ordered back to work,
conditions on the affected lines have
not become normal. Trains were
running today on every branch Of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company's S
system, but on reduced and in some
cases irregular schedules.
1t seems probable now that many CT
the former employers of the company
who went out on strike never will be
re-employed. 1t had been announced
that all of those taken back would
have to return as individuals that they
had forfeited their rights Of seniority
by their action in joining the strill-
ers, and that they would be obliged to
accept lower rate Of wages than they
had received. Later it was said that
the company had decided not to take

Toxic, March 11.-2 p. m.-The Rus
sian forces are now retiring from Muk-
den, Northward.
They are fianked on both sides by
the Japanese troops in pursuit and are
suffering heavy loss.
The full extent of the Russian disas-
ter is still unknown here. 1t is known.
however, that the casualties and losses
in guns and munitions of war are enor

unobtainable as yet. 1t is expected
that the prisoners will number many
thousands Local estimates of the
number taken vary from 10000 to so,
900.
1t is not clear yet whether General
Kuropatkin planned to stand and hold
his line north of the Hun river or re-
tire until he found it was too late to
accomplish his plan with the forces
at his command, owing to his conf

SCHOOL FOR CHILD WIVES.
Many Girls Found in Chicago Under
IA Years Old Are Wives.

Chicago, March IA school, or at
least a special room, for child wives
may be established by the board OF
education as a result of an investiga.
ton completed today by the compul-
sorry education department.
The search for wives of compulsory
school age was made by Superinten-
dent Bodine, and it is stated, has been
more fruitful than even the school Of
icials expected.
More than a score of wives under the
age of IA years are said to be found in
one Italian tenement districp alone.
The investigation also is said to
have proved the existence OF a traffic
in child wives between this country
and Europe. A majority of the school
trustees hold that unmarried school
girls should not be put in the same
classes with the so-calIed child wives
