Russian Losses In Seven Days
Battle Nearly 40,000.
Weekly Trade Review Fatal Fall
From an Apple Tree Millionaire!
In Politics Mr. Cleveland to Pre
I side New Postmaster General
j Stallion Sold For $70,000.
At the close of the seventh con sec
utive day of fighting between Mukden
blU Llao Yang the battle was still
raging, the Russians offering stub
l-orn resistance to the fierce on
plaughts of tho Japanese. The sacri
fice of life has been appalling, cstl
mates of the Russian losses alone In
killed end wounded at the end of the
hlxth day'B fighting belrg concededly
3(1.000, while It seems not ImprobabU
that they aggregato at that time 40,
VOG.
Japanese official reports estimate
that 10.000 Russian dead were len on
the field of battle up to the night ol
Oct. 14, and claim that, the Japanese
losses are small by comparison with
those of the Russians.
General Kuropatkin's report to Em
poror Nicholas depicts the desperate
character of the fighting and praises
Iho valor of the troops, indicating,
however, that he Is hard pressed with
the result still in tho balance. All
hope of succoring Port Arthur this sea
son haa been abandoned.
St. Petersburg has an unconfirmed
report that tho Japanese General Nod
zti has norm seriously wounded. A
question of Interest In St. Petersburg
is the fate of General Kuropatkln as a
factor In the Russian military situa
tion. The battle was continued throughout
Sunday, being especially heavy at
midnight. The Russians retain thelt
position along the Shakhe river and
have made frequent attacks upon the
Japaneie, capturing six of the latter's
guna. The eastern army la helping
(he western forces. There waa a
heavy artillery fire Sunday. The
flsMlriR is now centered on the plain.
The official veil has beon lifted from
the ghastly tragedy aroun'd Shakhe;
b.it even the official account supple
mented by press dispatches leaves
much uncertainty as to the situation.
Out of fragmentary mass of informa
tion at hand it Is possible only to con
elude that tho cosily withdrawal anJ
retreat from Liao Yang Is being du
plicated upon an even grander scale,
After more desperate fighting and
heavier losses.
General Kuropatkin's story leaves
the Russians still tenaciously holding
the north bank of the Shakhe river,
but the general belief Is this Is only
the desperate finale of one of tho
greatest military dramas of history
and that the Russian army as a whole
II retiring toward Mukden, having suf
fered at the most conservative esti
mate a loss of over 30,000.
Of tho left Rank, which was one of
the most Important points in the line
of battle, absolutely nothing Is heard
which leaves the Inference that It is
not In a position to communicate with
the remainder of the army. All the
wounded are being carried to Harbin,
further north It Is understood that
the correspondents also hav been or
dered to Harbin, which Indicates that
the retreat will not even atop at Tie
pass.
The latest reports from the battle
are o? Sunday afternoon and evening,
when the Russians were carrying on a
heavy rear-guard light, evidently re
tiring on Mukden. Generals Oku and
Nod xn were concentrating for another
blow on tho Russian right, where tho
fighting Is described as having been
firlous. General Nodzu Is reported to
have been wounded seriously, but this
cannot be cemftrmed.
Mukden Itself remains quiet. The
railway station Is congested with
trains of wounded proceeding to Har
bin. The hospital facilities aro com
pletely overtaxed. Six thousand
wounded arrived at Mukden on Sat
urday alone. The heroic surgeons and
nurses, many of whom have been with
out sleep for 3(5 hours, are ready to
drop with fatigue.
Tha Russian advance has been con
verted Into a stubbornly-fought re
treat. The result, according to the
Russians. Is still to bo determined
Reports from the Russian left wing
are lacking, leaving room for ques
t!on If that part, of General Kuropat
kin's army Is not In worse extremity
than the center and right were at any
atago of the battle.
On both siden the soldiers have
shown tho utmost tenacity and brav
cry pud whole regiments have gone
down before the flro of tho enemy. In
ofricliil circles of St. Petersburg there
Is a disposition to argue that even
FhouM Genoral Kuropatkln bo obliged
to retire upon Mukden his position
will bo quite as favorable ns It was
when the order lo advance was given
on Oct. C, a pil that on the other hand
the Japanese powers of future resist
anee will have been materially weak
ened. There Is no news from Port
Arthur.
Freer Buying From Jobbers.
Bradstreet's summary of the state
of trade says:
Despite irregularities, due to warm
weather conditions or to reductions
In crop movement, trade as a whole
maintains a satisfactory volume.
Nothing of a boom character Is to be
noted but many lines show gains
over the corresponding periMl of 1903,
confirmation of this being found In
best on record September railway earn
Ings and clearlng3 enlarged over last
October's weekly totuls.
The better than expected corn and
wheat crop outturns, favored by ex
ceptionally warm weather for this sea
son of the year, has induced freer
buying from Jobbers In the Central
West and Northwest.
Easttun trade also reflects unsea
sonable weather in Its effect upon cur
rent demand for fall and winter wear
goods, hut there Is, In addition, a
backwardners In demand for dry
goods, notably cottons, attributed to
conservative buying, based upon the
uncertainties surrounding raw cotton
goods prices.

MR. FAIRBANKS IN TROY
With Lieutenant Governor Hig
gins Addressed Big Meeting.
benator Fairbanks Alluded to Depres
sion of 1903 Disputed Statements
of Judge Parker on the Philippine
Question Mr. Hlgglns Said Book!
of State Administration Are Open.
Troy, N. Y., Oct. 18. Troy Republl
cans gave United States Senatoi
Charles W. Fairbanks, the Republican
candidate for vice president, and Lieu
tenant Governor Frank W. Hlgglns
the candidate for governor of thlf
state, a rousing welcome here last
night. Harmony hall, where the meet
lng was held, was built to hold about
400 people, but It was packed beyond
the danger, point with a most enlhus
lastlc crowd, of which probably one
half were women.
Former Governor Frank S. Black ol
Troy presided. Senator Falrbanki
kept his audience In good humor witt
frequent witty sallies.
He dwelt at length upon the Indus
triaf depression following the cam
palgn of 1892, and cited Coxey's "pa
thotlc army" as a fitting symbol 01
"triumphant Democracy."
Senator Fairbanks devoted specla
attention to Judge Pkrker's recem
speech on the Philippine quostlon. He
disputed particularly the statement
attributed to Judge Parker which he
quoted as follows: "After our uttei
defeat of the Spaniards, tho Republl
can administration paid to the vain
oppressor of the unconquered Flllplnc
$20,000,000 for this uncertain optlor
upon Its victim's land, tenements ant!
hereditaments. In the attempt to bol
ster the option, we have wasted there
$050,000,000 more of the people's mon
ey, and sacrificed 200,000 lives."
This statement Senator Falrbanki
declared was unsupported by the pub
lie records of the government. "Up tc
the 30th of last June," ald he "a to
tal of 122.401 enlisted men and 4.0C7
officers were sent Into the Philippines
If all the enlisted men and officers had
died in the archipelago, the total num
ber would have fallen short of the
number of lives alleged to have been
sacrificed, by nearly 75.000. The
record of total casualties, of even
kind and description, up to the 30tr
of June last, amounted to 4,924. Ol
this number 4,709 were enlisted mer
and 155 officers."
"The casualties amongtheconstabul
ary of the Islands, of all kinds, have
been about 600, about 100 of whom
were Americans. Even the casualties
among the Filipinos, added to those
among the Americans would constitute
but a small fraction of the losses es
tlmated by tha opposition. We should
bear In mind the fact that many of the
casualties which have occurred have
been caused by the encouragement
held out to the Insurgents by tho op
position. They were led to resist the
assertion of the sovereignty of the Unl
ted States by the hope of Democratic
success.
"It Is estimated by the war depart
ment that, the total expenditures de
not exceed $200,000,000 or some $470.
000.000 less than the estimate of the
opposition. We should bear In mind
the cost of maintaining the civil ad
ministration In the Philippines Ii
borne from the Insular treasury, and
not from the treasury of the United
States"

ro.fuso to bo led by selfish leaders.
Taking up state Issues, the judge
said:
"If you approve of the conduct ol
state affairs for the last ten years
then vote for the present governor's
state ticket. My adversary has been
a part of that administration, and Cov
entor Odoll approves of It. If you ap
prove of the savings bank tax, then
vote for my adversary. He voted foi
It and voted ngrilnst Its repeal. If yon
approve of paying contractors for
b.astlng and excavating rock where
Band and earth were shovelled; If you
want the one hundred and one millions
of dillars voted bv you for canal Im
provements squandered and wasted ns
was the nine million, then vote for my
adversary. If you want tho expend
iture of that money watched with
Jealous care, then elect a board of en
rial officers of opposite political faith
to tho present governor's canal offi
cials." ,
The speaker took up the abolition of
the various unpaid boards of managers
of the various state Institutions; the
establishment of the office of the fis
cal supervisor of state charities; the
failure, through trie governor's vetoes,
to provide suitable accommodations
for the feeble minded, and the diver
sion of the Eastern reformatory from
Us original purposes to a prison con
trolled by the superintendent of state
prisons, and In politics, and bo said
that If elected he should urge the pas
sage of appropriate legislation to
remedy those abuses.
