While r a small portion of Kuropatkin's armyp has reached Tie Pass. the greater part t of those who escaped from the battle of Mukden are still struggling north- t ward, being at last accounts between p twvelve and sixteen miles from their ir goal, with the Japanese. flushed with h victory and reinforced by fresh men. rr harassing thecm frmi all sides.

It is moire like v. that Kuropatkin will fall right back to~ Harbin with what .he can save, and wait there for the reinforce- ir menits that St. Petersburg already .i has promised him. A possible ob rtacle to the plan is Gen. IKawamura's [IIM OW th0 announcing to the pt No line has been slig ess Newberry has ev ling Wednesday mo! rsday and Friday!. ree days.

Gen. Kuropatkin admits that 1,19 ficers and 46,931 men are not re >onding to roll calls. This is rathe igue. It may or may not includ te thousands of wounded who hav !en sent north, and again it may no clude the losses suffered by th ird army, with which the comman !r-in-chief was not in communica :n for some time. The figures giv i by the Japanese war office appea ore reasonable, namely 40.000 priq 1ers. 26.500 dead left on the field an .Ooo killed or wounded, the latte gure, of course, including the dea sund by the Japanese. The' Russia 'sses. therefore, total over 1oo,oo en. or more than one-third of ih hole army. The fact that the Japa ase report the capture of only sixt: mns indicates that Kuropatkin at th st moment succeeded in sending msiderable portion of his artiller; >rthward on the railway. The Japanese losses up to thi orning were reported at 41.222. no chuding the army which pushe' >rth between Mukden and Fushun. Ofnicial Russia is determined to 'car on the war, and St. Petersburg re >rts that orders have been issued fo e mobilization of more troops. Thi ay prove a diffcult task with th mper of the Russian people in it esent condition. There is still hop St. Petersburg that Russia can ex ist Japan financially, and fo onths there has been talk of th tobilization of an army on the Si riani border, which would compe tpan to keep her vast army in Man i ria.

Love of Philadelphia, president of the Universal Peace Un ion, was talking on the topic, pecu liarly congenial to him, of kinditess. Said he: "I once knew a remarkably kind boy. He was a great angler. There was a trout stream in his neighbor iood that ran through a rich man's state.

The man seized him by the arm nd said between pants: "'Have you a permit to fish on this state?' "'Yes, to be sure,' said th eboy uietly. "'You have? Then show it to me.' "T'he boy drew the permit from his ocket. The man examined it and rowned in perplexity and anger. "'Why did you run when you had his permit?' he asked. "'To let the other boy get away,' wts the reply. 'He didn't have ione!' ' Wihile the rich must pass in their hcks, the poor are always with us.
