Worlds BlOOdieSt Battle.
Losses at Mukden Nearly Twice
as Great as at Leipzig.
(From the Philudelpbia Record

(From the Philadelphia Record)
The estimate by n correspon-
dent who is with Gen Kuropatkin
that the losses on both sides ni
the battle of Mukdcn were not
less than 200,0 600 men makes it an
pear that this combat was b, far
the bloodiest ever known.
The largest number of troops
ever engaged in battle Was
at Arbela, in 334 b. G when 35,
600 Greeks, under Alexander,
put to route a horde ofundlsciplin
ed Persians believed to have num-
bered 95O,00O.
Before the present var the
sloodiest battle in modern history
was that of Leipzig, in 1918,
when 800. 600 Germans defeated
17I,00O French. The Germans
lost AZ, 600 and the French co.
600.
The greatest ever fought in
this country was that ofGettysburg
in 1868, when l,70O Federals
defeated $4,000 Confederates
The losses, including prisoners,
were II, 600 Federals, and 81, 900
Confederates. The Confederates
lost 40 per cent of their force, be,
the largest percentage of loss ever
known.
The number of men engaged at
Mukden is variously estimated ut
from 100000 to 100000. The
percen age of loss appears to have
been 20 and 25 per cent.

If the courts and juries hold
that it is libelous for newspaper
innocently to describe person as
"colorcd' when he is white, the
papers may he forced to resort to
the cX!edient of eliminating all
such designations, leaving their
readers to guess the colors, for it
would bc altogether too perilous
to risk $4,000 on slip of "a

minded Mcrgenthaler machine.
If the wrong designation was
made with view of injuring
person affected, the offender should
be made to smart, and properly
so; but where there is no such
purpose and where full and public
reparation is extended, no damage
has been done and none should be

the same floor he saw n kerosene
lamp in the rear explode. He

put out the flaming, lamp without
success. a policeman who heard
the cry of alarm rushed to the
scene and every effort was made
to rouse the sleeping people.
Meantime the flames had spread
with startling lapldity and the
occupants of the upper floors
awoke to find themselves con.
fronted by n wall of flames on
nearly every side. Panicstricken
people rushed to the fire escapes
