REMNANTS OF RUSSIAN ARMY RE
TREATING NoRTHWARD NOT
OUT OF DANGER.

st. Petersburg, March 14.-No fur
the front during the morning, but the
agnitude OF the catastrophe is now
apparent to all here. Where the cur
tain has been slightly lifted the pic
ture OF the awful retreat makes the
flesh creep, recalling the scenes de-
picted in Tolstoi's ..War and Peace" !"
or Zola's lie Debacle."
The War Office admits that even the
remnants Of the army are still in dan
ger. Field Marshal Oyama holds a
magnificent strategic position. 1t is
reported that japanese fanking col
umns are in touch above Tie pass and
that there may be Sedan there. No
adequate estimate Of the losses has
been furnished, but with the units cap
tured on the left unaccounted. for the
killed or wounded already total $4,000.
The war Office does not even know ac-
curately what units were captured.
According to the latest information
at the war Office General Linevitch's
army, although its units were scat
tered and confused, got off with the
feWest losses. General Kaulbars was
the heaviest loser. leaving $4,000 pris-
Oners in the hands of the Japanese.
Kaulbars himself, with the remnant of
his army, had a narrow escape. When
the Japanese drove their wedge across
the railroad above Mukden he just
managed to pull clear by withdraw
Ing south of the city and then moving
northeastward into the mountains
barely in time to avoid General kuro-
ki's columns, which were already at
the Hun river bombarding Flu pass.
According to the latest advices Gen

RUSSIAN PUBLIC FOR PEACE.
DECISION OF GOVERNMENT TO
CONTINUE THE WAR MEETS
LITTLE APPROVAL. !.

st. Petersburg, March 14.-The an
nouncement made in the name of the
government, in the face of the over
Whe!ming disaster suffered by General
Kuropatkin, that fresh army would
be raised and the war proceed and the
naughty attitude assumed by Japan
may after all be simplx.a sparring for
position which is the prelude OF peace.
So far as the public here is concerned
peace is the only thing talked of, the
sentiment being that if diplomacy can
now bring the warning parties into
negotiation peace will follow Many
diplomats believe that terms accept
able to both are only possible on the
basis, not of ordinary peace but more
in the nature of an alliance which
would distinctly define and guarantee
the position of the respective powers
in the, Far East in the future 1t is
certain, however, that Russia as yet
has made no move. Here
Confusion Still Reigns
in the higher circles and the emperor
has not yet decided that he must yield.
Nevertheless the peace party has been
greatly strengthened and is now TAX
Ing the position that to attempt to con-
tiuue the war will only court addi-.
tional complications and danger at
home, with the chances of success for
the Russian arms on the field of battle
too remote to be worthy of considera-
tion. But some of the emperor's ad-
visers insist that the government is
irreyocably committed to the war, that
it would be harder to stop than to go
on and that if the war is indefinitely
prolonged the financial resources of
japan are sure to be exhausted before
Rlssia's, while Russia's prestige
abroad is irreparably gone if she now
bends the knee. The situation is not
dissimilar to that which prevailed at
the end of the Crimean war, when
Nicholas I. took a sudden decision to
conclude peace on the best terms OBJ
tainable. The effect on the internal
situation of either alternative will
probably govern the final decision I

DEED OF MkDDENED Man.
KILLS AND WOUNDS NUMBER OF
PEOPLE BEFORE HIS CA
REER is ENDED.

Denver, March 14.-Three persons
critical condition and one house in
ashes sums up briefly the result of a
fierce combat in which George Schiss-
Ter, a teamster, played the leading
part.
Maddened because of his defeat in
a lawsuit in which Kay Sill, the man
whom he pronounced his bitterest
enemy had been victorious and swear
ing vengeance against him and his
family Schissler armed himself with a
rife and started out to do murder.
Sill saw Schissler approaching and
tried to avoid him by entering the
his brain with the accuracy Of a
marksman
Mrs. Sill rushed to her husbands s
side and received bullet from Schiss-
ler,s rifle, fired with unerrjng aim.
She, too, fell dead alongside the life
less body OF her husband. Not con
tent with the fullness Of his vengeance
Schissler then set fire to the Sill home,
which was destroyed.
Satisfying himself that the flames
would perform their mission Schissler
returned to his own home and barri-
caded himself inside.
Three Policemen BADLY Wounded.
Upon the arrival of the police rain
of bullets fell about them. Police Sur
geon Dulin, Captain Bohanna and Pa
trolman Kelly fell to the floor OF the
ambulance wounded. The driver reined
his horses when another shot from
Schissler dropped one OF the animals
to the ground.
Firing squads were stationed in near
by houses and a large force was placed
in a portable fort made Of baled hay
piled upon a hay wagon. During the
preliminary arran gements Schissler
kept up a continuous fire in all direc.
tions.
This was returned by the officers
and hundreds of shots were exchanged.
Finally Schissler ceased firing and the
hay wagon fort was moved cautiously
toward the house.
Then the officers made a rush and
battered down the door They found
schissler upon a bed bleeding from
several wounds. He died soon after.
1t is not known whether he was hit by.
bullets from the weapons of the pur-
suing party Or committed suicide. A
daughter OF the Sills is supposed to
have been burned in the fire.
Mrs. Schissler is prostrated by the
terrible deed of her husband, but her
recovery is expected.
