SURRENDER, PEACE.
Two Words Which Spring Now ts

Two Words Which Spring Now to
 Every Russian Lip.
 St. Petersburg, March ll.-"Last night all our armies commenced to re- treat"
 The greatest defeat in the history or the Far Eastern war was made known In St. Petersburg last night, put only In the foregoing eight words rom General Kuropatkin to Emperor Nicholas. This brief message was flung aoout the streets in newspaper extras and 1t was passed from mouth to mouth. Two thoughts formed instantly Tn the minds of every one, and two words were on every lip: Surrender. Peace; the former dreaded, the latter hoped for.
 General kuropatkin is no maker of phrases; his words never are quoted like the famous All is lost save honor;" but his Iaconic message hidas more than probably any two other sen tences in the literature of war. St Petersburg knows nothing of the ex- tent of the disaster. not even the lines or kuropatkin's retreat; whether the route to Tie Pass is still open, whether he is endeavoring to cut his way through to safety. or whether. as many pessimsits believe. he has taken to the mountains. If he has fled into the mountains, ne VIII inevitably be hem med in and starved into surrender.
 The dispatch from Kuropatkin has been studied and from the words "all our armies optimists draw the conclu- sion that the bulk of the Russian forces got away clear the commander in-chief sacrificing, however, the de- voted rear guard. which flung itself as prey to the Japanese who were closing in on their trail. and sacrificing on either hand the greater part of his heavy artillery. especially the siege guns and enormous quantities of sup plies.
 Of the present situation of the army. of the proportion of Russians left in Japanese hands or of the prospect of the escape of the remainder, St Peters burg at this moment knows less than the smallest hamlet In America. Since the Associated Press Mukden despatch was filed at o'clock Friday morning, no dispatch save the brief announce ment of the retreat of the Russian army has been received, General Kuro- patkin's preceding despatch giving the last details as to the positions of the army having been written at o'clock Thursday evening. The members of the general ataff when asked for in- formation said: We know nothing We hope he will bring the army off safely, but we do not know how he will do 1t. We only know he has Ir,.-ss- ..yz ... Ea~a R&

He asked her to marry him while out walking at Pratt City and she told him that she had to teach school in order to pay her parents what they had expended on her for her edu- cation. Braham pulled a pistol and shot the woman three times in the head. killing her instantly He made no effort to escape, but surrendered and never denied the killing. He was me- gro above ordinary intelligence and the court and Jail officers did everything they could to induce the Acting Cover nor to commute the sentence to life time in the penitentiary.
 A large number of colored preachers were with the condemned negroes two hours hsfore. the hour of execution. They prayed and sang and the con demped negroes joined in with them.

Condemned aran the Accuser.

An hour before he was led to the gallows to be executed for murdering his sweetheart Aleck Robertson &C., oused Jim Williams, a negro who was among the number of people gathered to see. the hanging. of being the man who shot and killed Policeman Bennett at Ensley two years ago. A week ago Robertson told Former Chief of Police Camp of Ensley that Williams was the negro who shot Policeman Bennett. Williams was near Lexington, Ky. and word was sent him to come to Birm- irgham. He was asked if he wanted to see the hangings and he replied in the affirmative. He was carried before Robertson and the latter was asked who killed Policeman Bennett at Ems ley. Robertson told and then pointed out Williams.
 The latter denied the accusation i'm mediately and said that at the time of the killing of the officer he was at Flat Top The records are being searched now to see If Williams was really at Flat Top at the time of the Ensley killing. In the meantime he Is being held under surveillance.
