RUSSIAN CAUS
Only Their Well Pirerter
Army From E
GENERAL LUROPATKIN RESIGNS
Extent of the Russian Disaster is Far
Greater Than Earlier Reports Indicated,
and It Is Now Almost a Foregone
Conclusion That Even Should
the Remnants of the Army Reach
Tie Pass They Would be Unable to
Hold It Against Their Pursuers.
V.W General Kuropatkin has apparently
succeeded in saving more of
his artillery than seemed possible, his
losses in men, ammunition and commisariat
supplies, in the battle of Mukden.
are far greater than earlier reports
indicated, and even that portion
of his army which he succeeded in
extricating fiopj the positions around
Mukden is --till in serious danger. The
Japanese generals, realizing that with (
a little more speed they could have ,
inflicted a crushing defeat on the Rus- (
sian at my after the battle of Liao
Vang, determined not to again allow ,
an opportunity to pass, and are fol- 1
lowing after the defeated and sorely 1
tried Russian forces. While a small
portion of Kuropatkin's army has
reached Tie Pass, the creator unrf of
those who escaped from the battle of r
Mukden are still struggling northward,
being at last accounts between 12 and
18 miles from their goal, with the
Japanese*, flushed with victory and re- ^
enforced by fresh men, harassing c
them from all sides. Even should o
the remnants of the army reach Tie c
Pass, it is hardly possible for it to ^
make a stand there against the over- ^
whelming force opposing it, and es- o
peeiallv as the Russians must be worn tt
out and weakened by the loss of men, a
guns and ammunition. It is more n
likely that Kuropatkin will fall right s<
back to Harbin with what he can save **
and wait there fur the^*e-enforcements ...
mat st Petersburg alftady lias promised
hinr. A possible obstacle to the ^
plan Is Gent ral Kamamura's array,
al
which has n? t yet been located and
which may also be heading for the q
northern capital.
General Kuropatkin admits that 1,190
officers and 4(1,931 men are not -'a
responding to roll calls. This is rath- ri
e.- vague. It may or may not include
the thousands of wounded who have
been sent north, and again it may
not include the losses suffered by the ws
Third Array, with which the com- hi,
niander-in-chief was not. in communl- de
cation for some time. The figures .
given by the Japanese War Oillce appear
more reasonable, namely: 40.S00 ^h'
prisoners, 2 th 500 dead on the field, loi
and 90.000 killed or wounded, the lat- Gf
ter figure, of course, including the
dead found by the Japanese. The
Russian losses, tlieiefore. total much
over 100,000 men, or more than one- Cfcl
third of the whole army. The fact
that the Japanese report the capture
of only 00 guns indicates that Kuropat
kin. at the last moment, sueceded J"1
in sending a considerable portion of JJa
his artillery northward on the railway.
The Japanese losses up to this gul
morning were reported as 41,222, not !
including the army which pushed
north between Mukden and Fusliun. 1??
Official Russia is determined to curry
on the war, and St. Petersburg re- ''J'1
ports that orders have been issued ju
for the mobilization of more troops.
Tnis niav prove a difiicult task with
the temper of the Russian people in 1
its present condition. There is still ing
hope in Petersburg that. Russia pro
can exhaust Japan financially, and for tioi
months there has been totir

mobilization of an arniv on the Si- nia

FORT MILL, S. C?
RAILWAY STRIKE FAILS.
Workmen Who Went Out Were
Ordered Back to Work.
New York. Special.?The most Interesting
development in the sub-way
and elevated railway strike situation
in New York was the stand taken by
some of the national labor leaders in
repudiating the action of the local
leaders who ordered and are conducting
the strike. The first intimation
the public had that the strike was not
endorsed by the national unions, came
in a statement from Grand Chief Warren
S. Stone, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, to which the
motormen belong. Mr. Stone insisted
that the strike was a violation of the
laws of the national union, the men
having broken their contract with the
inter-borough Company. He ordered
the men to report for duty, failing
which, expulsion from the organization
is threatened.
Although the local leaders are continuing
the fight, despite the fact that
the national leaders have repudiated
their action in calling the men out,
the strike on the subway and elevated
railway systems has passed the acute
stage, and trains are run with little
delay, the strike-breakers quickly
learning their new duties, while many
of the old men were back in the positiors
which they left on Tuesday
morning. There was no general rush
back of the old employes, but the men
slowly weakened, and there was a
steady stream passing into the company's
offices all day.
Things More Quiet.
St. Petersburg. By Cable.?The general
staff has received the following
dispatch from General Sakaharoff,
General Kuronatkin's chief of staff,
dated today: "Several fierce attacks on
our north front were made during the
night. They were all repulsed. In
other directions the night was quiet."
Forbidden to Enter Mukden.
Tokio. By Cable.?Field Marshal
Oyama, in an order directing the pursuit
of the retreating Russians, prohibited
his troops from entering Mukden,
in order to preserve the respects
of the tombs and sacred places of the
imperial Chinese household, and to
protect the welfare of the inhabitnats.
Mukuen, Thursday. By Cable.?The
Japanese last night pushed up from
the south across the abandoned plain
between tho Shakho and Hun rivers
ami are. as this dispatch is filed, about
five miles south of the latter, and from
the Hun opposite Macht&pu and northward.
Japanese batteries are pouring
in a ceaseless fire. The Japanese succeeded
in emplacing siege guns and 1
iiioriars ai lMcushantun. about six
miles west of this city, whence the op- !
cnlng fire began at dawn.
Many young men want to atton.l the
Medical College of South Carolina. Gov. I
Hey ward has at his disposal the appointment
of one beneficiary from ?ath
congressional district. Already then- i
is on file at least one application from i
nearly every county in the State. Gov. |
Heyward will not announce his s -loo- j
tlon for some time.
Tokio, By Cable?Field Marshal
Oyama telegraphs ns follows under
Friday's date: 'We occupied Mukden
at one o'clock this morning. Our surrounding
movement, in which we
have been engaged for some days past
has now completely succeeded.
"The fiercest fighting continues at
several places in the vicinity of Mukden.
We captured a great number i
of prisoners, enormous quantities of
arms, ammunition, provisions and other
war supplies. There is at present
no time to investigate the number of
these."

Intentional Fraud
CLAIM OF GOVERNMENT FAILS
The Defence in the Chadwick Case:
Shows That She Had Money on Deposit

were examined in the Chadwick
trial, and the defense established
the fact that the claim of the fyoverament
that Mrs. Chadwick had no asoney
In the Oberlin bank at the time aC

In two in?tnnfno o?
It was shown by the general journal
of the bunk, that on November
190.1, when Mrs. Chadwick received a.
certified check for $10,000, an entrycredit
ing her with that amount was;
made on the journal of the bank and'
a deposit slip for $10,000 was mad??
out in her name. The entry and th?y
slip were in the handwriting of Cashier
Spear. Another entry of similar
nature amounting to $5,000 was alsor
found. These facts were brought out
on cross examination by Judge Wing,,
counsel for Mrs. Chadwick after Ions
and tedious quest lotting of II. II. Avery,
assistant cashier of the Oberlin.
bank. Avery at first testified that at
no time had Mrs. Chadwick either
money in or credit at the bank. Several
directors of the Oberlin bank testified
that they knew nothing of tba
transactions with Mrs. Chadwick.
One of them said none of the Chadwick
deals were ever reported by Mr.
Spear to the directors.
An official the Euclid Avenue
Trust Company testified that Mrs.
Chadwick had $92,000 on deposit tn
ltis bank. Horace G. White, bookkeeper
of the Oberlin bank, testified
that the entry giving credit to Mrs.
Chadwick for $10,000 was in the handwriting
of Cashier Spear, and that tho
deposit slip for the same amount was
also in Spear's hand writing. Robert
I.yons, receiver for the Citizens' National
llank of Oberlin, said that tho
wwimt, u in not kiiow uiat any account
had ever existed by which Mrs. Chadwick
could draw chocks on the hank.
Mrs. Chadwiok came into court today
apparently none the worse for her
illness, which caused the adjournment

It is doubtful if Andrew Carnegie
