Report from Mukden That the Rus- sians Are Advancing. A ‘dispatch from Mukden says: It is reported that the Russian army is advancing. Rain is hindering every- thing. The rivers are bank full and the fords are impassible. There are. ne bridges. Supplies of all sorts -are delayed. Cossacks brought in captured guns and. Japanese wounded prisoners. on October 17. Russian soldiers’ ‘sur- rounded the "prisoners and gave them bread and water and in other ways tried to relieve their wants. News .has just been received that the Jap- anese left flank has been driven back with heavy loss. Lone Tree hill, won by the Rus- sians after a desperate struggle, was the object of a gallant but unsuc- cessful attempt at recapture by the Japanese. In spite of the awful slaughter with which they had been driven from the hill, the Japanese returned to the charge during the night of October 17, recognizing that the hill was the key to the position on the southwest front. Nine regi- ments participated, creeping up through the night and delivering "a furious assault at dawn. But the hill had been hought too deariy by the Russians to relinquish it, and the Japanese were driven back with ter- rible slaughter. Shakhe station, or what is left of it, has been recaptured by the Rus- sians, who will shortly reopen it ior railway trafie with Mulkden. RUSSIANS GAIN ADVANTAGE. Penetrate Japanese Center and Com- pel Them to Retire. Reports from Russian sources give a more hopeful view of the situation of Gen. Kuropatkin’s army. That commander has reoccupied and. holds the town of Shakhe, the possession of which for several days was first with one and then with the other of the contending armies. Reports from the Russian left wing, for the safety of which there had been much anxiety, are no later than the night of October 13. It had been fighting for two days for possession of Tumin and Siatchoun passes, important strategic poipdts, but up to the time of the sending of the last dispatch the Japanese were still in possession of the passes. In order that this column may be able to rejoin the main Russian army it is necessary that Gen. Kuropatkin should hold the bridges over the Hun river and the position he now occu- pies on the Shakhe river. There is no indication that the end of the great battle is at hand. Esti- mates of the losses show a wide divergence, hut are, as a rule, lower than those given out in Sunday's patches. MAROONED OFF LABRADOR. Frightful Sufferings of Crew on Islands Befere Aid Comes.

President Roosevelt has sent a let- ter to Secretary of War Taft, order- ing the latter to proceed to Panama to ally the alarm which exists among the people of that republic, at the effect of the Government established in the canal strip by the United States Commission. In his letter, the President says it is apparent that the people of Pana- ma fear an independent community, which shall injuriously affect their business, is to be established in the canal zone. This, according to is noi thought .of. He have not the slightest intention of establishing an independent colony in the middle of the State of Panama or of exercising any greater govern- mental functions than are necessary to enable us to conveniently and safe- ly to cons'ruct, maintain and oper- ate the canal, under the rights given us by the tre aty. > | Secretary Taft is authorized to take with him, any and all persons! ke chooses, and it is probable that] his parity will be made up of irepre- | sentatives of the canal commission | and members of the House and Sen-| ate committees dealing with the] Isthmian affairs.

The United States Steei Corpora- tion will in D3cember make a third proposition to employes to buy stock to hold for a period of five years. When the preferred stock crossed 83 the 27.379 employes who in January, Steel 1903, purchased 48,983 shares at $82.50 per share under the profit- sharing plan, for the first time in a vear and a half saw a chance to get their money back. In the latter pawt poration, to quiet the growing ap- prehension of the empioye stocks holders, pledged itself to pay $82.50 for each share of stock sold under the profit-sharing plan, provided the men held the stock until 1908. This guarantee was followed in December last by 2 new offer on the part of the corporation to let employes have pre- ferred stock at $55 per share, the profit-sharing clause belng practically identical with the first offer at $82.50 made in December, 1902." The second offer was accepted by 10,248 em- ployes, who, in January and Febru- ary last, were allotted 232,519 shares at $55 per share. . The 10,0600 em- ployes agreed to pay the corporation $1,788,545 for the 32,519 shares, worth at par $3,251,900.
