One of the Greatest Battles in the World's
sBistory Being Fought.
KOUIl01).1'TKIN'S POSITION.
The 'Tokio correspondent of the
London Telegraph says that Gen.
Kouropatkin has been driven out of
snnts, besides exasperating the
workmen in the capital. The effects
of the mistake are likely to last
long after the concession is forgot -
Fushun, and that the Japanese have 441. 'I71e seeds of suspicion anti nus -
entered Mukden. It is believed that
the Russian central position is sur-
rout 4 od and the anny there almost
•eumihtiated. All the important posi-
tions in front of the Jupaneso left
have been Occupied. (len. Konropat-
kin Is making desperate efforts to
reach 'l'ieling. The weather is ex-
cellent and the grounu is hard.
In a later despatch the correspon-
dent claims to have official a,'rthority
for the statement that fully. 200,000
Russians are enveloped.
Information from independent
sources in 'l'okio is that tho Japan-
ese extreme right wing is engaged
and is driving the Russians hard, et
the point of the buyonct. Tho Rus-
sian centro is retreating under a ter-
rible fire, and has been practically
annihilat ed.
It is announced from Tokio that
the railway has been cwt north of
jiluk(Icn. This leaves the country
roads and the light railway between
Mukden and Fushun, 20 miles to the
north-eastward, the only avenues et
retreat of the Russians.
A telegram to Berlin states that
the Japanese have occupied Mukde,l.
A report front New-Chwang, by
way of 'Tien -'!'sin says that 'Pie Pass
has been invested by the Japanese,
and that Gen. Kouropatkin, having
no alternative, will probably be
- forced to surrender within a week.
In the opinion .of English milittuw
critics. Gen. Kouropatkin's forces
are doomed to complete disaster, ami
the best he can hope for is to save
a more remnant of his army after
devoting whole (divisions to slaugh-
ter. Much importance is attached to
Oen. Kamantura's my'sterittes un -
located army, which momentarily is
expected to complete the closing of
the net around the defeated host by
appearing somewhere in the extreme
east, around Yingfan, thus blocking
tiee sole remaining route from Ying-
fan to 'l'fe )'ass through Wankalkou
Pass
WiLL BE OFF.
A despatch from St. Petersburg
says: -Tho atmosphere of the War
Office is intensely gloomy. The offi-
ciate admit that Gen. Kouropatkin
has suffered a bloody defeat, but
they insist that it is not a decisive
disaster. Despatches of Kouropatkin
awl Sakharoff RrePo
reportingine fighting
on
tho "north front" seem to refer to
.Japanese attempts to break through
the Russian line screening the com-
munications with Tie Pass, but the
public regards it as an acknowledg-
ment that Gen. Nogi already has
severed the Russian line of commun-
ications at least. a por-
tion
and e
is P
tion of (len. Bilderling's army, which
was bringing up the rear.
It is said here that Gen. Kouro-
patkin, with his headquarters staff,
Is now at F'ankintung station. on
the railroad, ten miles below Tie
Pans.
The general stuff admits that the
carnage in the battle will probably
exceed anything in modern warfare.
In addition to the Eastern Chinese
Railway and the Mandarin Bond, it
turns out that the Russians have a
narrow gauge railroad connecting
Mukden with Tie Pass, over which to
attest their withdrawal from their
posit ions.
trust sown among the peasants will
be fostered by tho workmen, stu-
dents and agitators whom the au-
thorities at St. Petersburg and Mos-
cow are dispersing wholeaatlo to their
villages.
The effects will become apparent
when the Government begins to raise
the half -million men deemed neces-
sary for the continuation of the war,
and the long-dn►andetl lemsky So-
bor will probably be the price of

inthe
'� The campaign t
mobilization. i.
far east is inseparably bound up
with the internal situation. The
tearful admission of 7710 Novoo Vre-
mya that the hopes of the reformers
are based art continued reverses in
Manchuria is no exaggeration.
NOT SUFFICIENTLY KNOWN
No Boycott Against Canadian
Canned Goods in England.
An Ottawa despatch says: Accord-
ing to a letter received from Mr.
McNamara, Canadian agent at Man-
chester. there is no truth in the re-
port of an alleged boycott existing
in England against Canadian canned
goods. Mr. McNanutra states that
xrhen he heard about the alleged boy-
cott he iimde enquiries as to its
having any foundation or was being
curried out by the large dealers in
Manchester aud Liverpool and found
that the reverse is the case, and the
only form of complaint arises frons
the fact that they do not get suffici-
ent samples and prices from the
Canadian exporters, to whom they
would gladly give preferences, all
things being equal.
It would be nnovo satisfactory, tho
agent writes, if the British mer-
chants had a better knowledge of
the large assortment of preserved
meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables
that aro packed by Cunadian firths.

GALLING TF.RMS.
'rho at, Petersburg correspondent
of the London 'Telegraph says that
French financiers., are laying down
galling terms -for a new Russian

sion higher by'1 per cent. than watt

commercial_ treaty in favor of the
iniportntlnni of French wines: They
alsn require that a large sun) be de-
posited in France to pay for the
svnrshlps ordered there. The Imperial
Treasury has not ngrec it to the last
stipulation. There is no doubt thnt
the loan will be issue!, but it will
create an extremely arduous pro-
blem for M. Kokovtsoff, Minister of
Finance, who is already telling his
friends he Is weary of office. Bank

in-law with mercury. It was proved

LASH.
WITH QUEENS.
On* Lunatic Repeatedly Found
Concealed Under Sofas at
Buckingham.
The fascination which royalty
seems to exercise upon some met11-
bers of the public is extraordinary,
and the annoyance to which I'riicess
Victoria has been subjected by it
Camberwell bookbinder is no sur-
prise to the officials at Lite royal
palaces.
Queen Victoria, while a young and
beautiful woman, was greatly an-
noyed by admirers (1f this typo.
Clue of the most troublesome and
most persistent was a man called
Smith, who was found one tiny con-
cealed under a sofa in one of the
ante -rooms at Buckingham palace.
lie Was, of course, taken to the
pnlico station, and Inquiries revealed
a most extraordinary story.
Tho man was clearly n lunatic,
and his mania, harmless though an-
noying, consisted in his believing
that it was necessary for hint to be
somewhere near or within tnthe palace.ce.
Ifo had a private income, and it.
was found that it was his daily cus-
tom to haunt the palace gates and,
whenever ho could do 90, to pass the
police and enter the palace itself by
one of the side doors.
Once inside he would coin :nl him-
self underneath tables, chairs, or be-
hind curtains for hours. When dark-
ness fell he quickly slipped out and
went home. Curiously enough, it.
was many weeks before ho was finally
caught and confined in an asylum.
Another admirer of Queen Victoria
created quite a scare at Windsor.
A mysterious man was seen at
night about the corridors and ante-
rooms on several occasions, and, but
for material marks of his corporeal
presence in the shape of dirty finger
marks of the furniture and foot-
marks on the floors, alight have been
mistaken for a new ghost, so im-
possible of capture was he.
At last he was taken, and it was
discovered that he had been a chim-
ney sweep. and his employment at
the castle had taught him how to
get in and out at will by way of the
chimneys. Ile was a perfectly harm-
less lunatic, whose mania w•ns to bo
under the same root with the queen.
IN LOVE WITH A PRINCESS.
Queen Alexandra has been the ob-
ject of more than one similar manta.
though caro has been taken to shield
her as far as possible from annoy`
once.
line case, which was kept secret all
the time, was that of a young ina*
of good family, who, while she was
still princess of Wales, used to fol-
low her all over England. Eventual-
ly it was necessary to put hint under
restraint. His chambers wero found
to be filled with portraits of her ma-
jesty which he had purchased. and of
magazines and papers fn which they
were reproduced. His family got him
out of England to the colonies.
Such a state of things would bo
quite impossible in almost any other
country, for it in only in England
that the royal palaces aro so lightly
guarded.
While the czar of Russia was hid-
ing at s palace o
S
�k
t Tsarskoe Selo,
and with n wire fence surrounding
the palace and grounds, guarded
every twenty -fico ynrds by soldiers
with loaded rifles, the king and queen
of England were In residence at
Buckingham palace. The railings
which separated the palace from the
public road wero down for altera-
tion, and any one could have walked
un to the building itself, while the
figures of the king and queen were to
bo seen during the evening at the
brilliantly lighted wlndown.
But it is not only lunatics who
annoy the royal family.
Many American tourists, mostly of
the fair sex, aro difficult to deal
with. Not long ago one of them was
so persistent that a police sergeant
had to take her back to her hotel
In n cab. Inquiries proved that there
was nothing ttie matter with her
mind. She was just anxious to call
upon tho king.
