RUSSIAN INERTIA
 CAUSE OF FAILURE
lNVALlDED VICTIMS OF JAPAN ESE SHELLS ARRIVE IN ST. PETERSBURG AND DESCRIBE THE BATTLE OF MUkDEN.

St. Petersburg, April 7.-Q2:45 a. m.)- Invalided Russians who left Mukden on March 26 report that the Hun river bridge had not then been disturbed. The Japan csc in removing Russian wounded from Mulxden, carried them far as the river in bamboo filters. and entrained them on the farther side. Chinese, It is related by these returned soldiers, partly pillaged the hospitals in Mukden on March 10 be- fore the arrival of the Japanese, but did not harm the wounded or attendants, and acted most humanely toward Russian wounded on the field, assisting the Jap anese to gather them. Russian medical officers recognized in an Adjutant Gen eral of Oku's Fifth division, former professor of languages in the seminary of Vladivostok. They also met other Japanese officers who formerly were in the Russian service in Manchuria.
 The returned soldiers describe the con fusion in the evacuation of Mukden, and the fighting in narrow streets and at the gates where Japanese and Chinese am- pushed the last attachments, and where General Galefeldt was wounded and cap tured. The losses of the Japanese, ac- cording to foreigners accompanying them, was nearly 100000, the Eighth division for instance losing over 1000. yet being not considered one of the heavy sufferers. The greatest losses were in the troops oper- ating against Linevitch, where the strug- gle was much longer, and of more in tensity than elsewhere. The Japanese placed the number of guns captured dur ing the retreat at 26 and also captured thousands of abandoned rifles and i'm mense quantities of boxed rifle ammuni- tion; and according to Chinese the Jap anese are now rearming their reserves with Russian rifles
 The Japanese army is healthy, escellent- ly clothed and well shod. and it's morale is excellent, according to these soldiers. Japanese officers admitted that they con- centrated every last effort to win the battle, and threw their entire reserves into the fighting line, leaving the rear communications entirely unprotected
 They realize that had the Russians thrown heavy force even of cavalry in the rear, their position would have been critical, but they counted rightly on Rus sian inertia and were confident of victory.

 The protestants have not brought any charges against MT. Rockefeller. They have stated that he was under charges before the American people, supported by such evidence as carries conviction to a large part if not the majority of the intelligent and thinking people of this country.
 What we want is no statements from Mr. Rockefeller's friends and attorneys that these charges have not been proven, but we do want to hear from Mir. Rocke- feller that they are not true, and If ne can clear himself in the eyes of the American people, none will be more glad to believe in him. than those who have joined in protest"

Gladden. Answers With Question.

Columbus, O., April 6.-The Rev Dr. Washington Gladden., moderator of the general council of the Congregational churches of the United States tonight gave out the following signed reply to the statement of s. c. T. Dodd, general counsel of the Standard oil company:
 MT. Dodd says that Standard Oil does not own a share of stock in any railroad company and does not control any railroad company.
 By this statement MT. Dodd intends to convey and does convey to the public the meaning that the group of men with common interests who have always owned and controlled the Standard Oil company and for whom the phrase Standard Oif company is an accurate and convenient synonym, do not own any railroad stock nor control any road
 In this statement which Mir. Dodd in tends to convey a true statement? Will MT. Dodd specifically state that the group of men thus described do not own enough stock practically, to control many of our important railroads?
 Until this question is definitely an- swered, other parts of the manifesto may be neglected.

Standard obeys the Law.

'fhe evidence before the industrial com mission shows very clearly to any un- preJudiced mind that since the enactment or the interstate commerce law the Standard has obeyed it in every partic- ular. The evidence of the Standard man agers and freight agents was corroborated by the certificates of managers and freight agents of all the leading railways of the United States to the effect that by no rebate arrangements devices or plans of any character had the Standard received less rates than other shippers"
 After quoting evidence given before the commission and in direct contradiction of Dr. Gladdens specific charge, MT. Dodd concludes:
 "On mind so prejudiced, evidence is lost Dr. Gladden. seems to know some- thing of cases in the courts on the sub ject of rebates and should know of sev- eral important cases tried in the courts of Pennsylvania against a prominent rail- road to recover penalties for granting re- bates in which every effort was made to prove rebates was paid to the Standard oil company No such proof could be pro- duced, but it was proved that rebates were allowed and paid to two of the Standards principal competitors. This may serve to remove Dr. Gladden's doubt whether the Standard is more virtuous than the rest.
 Those who contend that the Standard has been built up by means of railroad discrimination, wlfully shut their eyes to the real causes of the Standards S success. and are poor students of the problem of modern industrial combinations

 '"Ihe things that concern us all as good citizens are infinitely larger than the matters concerning winch we are d- vided one from the other along party lines. Fundamentally our attitude in our foreign affairs and in reference to foreign nations must in the long run if we arc to be successful as q people, be based upon certain common senee rules of con ddct-the identical rules upon which every self-respecting citizen mus, oase his pri- vate actions,
 eThis Is especially true as regards all questions dealing with capital and labor. and especially in dealing with the great aggregates of capital, usually to be found in corporate form through which so much of our business at the present day is con ducted. It is essential in dealing thus by legislative action with corporate wealth or indeed, with wealth in any form, that we remember and act upon certain rules simple enough and common sense enough to state, but not always easy when it comes to acting upon them. Most emphat. ically we cannot as good Americans bear hostility to any rich man as such any more than to any poor man as such, My experience has been that the man who talks over loudly of his hostility to cor porate wealth cannot be trusted to act quite up to the way he talks.

 fThe Standard often found that its com petitors had been paying less than it paid. Furthermore, the public obtained the advantage of the low rates received A reduced price at which the public for many years has been obtaining oil would simply have been impossible had not ship Iers forced the railroads to reduce their rates which they did first by rebates, and later by open schedule
 'The system of rebates has happily re- ceived the condemnation of law The Standard welcomed the change as bene- hcial one. But to say now that 1t should not have obtained the best rates under the old system which it's position enabled 1t to obtain, is an impossible counsel of perfection.
