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. - 4 GALLING TF.RMS. 'rho at, Petersburg correspondent of the London 'Telegraph says that French financiers., are laying down galling terms -for a new Russian loan. They insist upon a commis- sion higher by'1 per cent. than watt paid for the recent loan floated' its Germany, 'J'hey' further demand a 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 notes representing 400,000,00([ rou- 1ees in excess of the necessary paper currenrv•are now in circulation, and net soon an peace is concluded they 11111 he presented to the Government, which must either pay them in gold or accept them as tante'. In both cases there will be a serious loss of revenue. SI1I:LI S 1'i111M FRANCE, 'lite Parts corresp.rnebiit of lite lereden Timm say." that en Tuesday Roc. in gave an order to a french lontnee tor for 80,1,00 three-inch ahriipnel shells, nluking it a condi- lien that they he provided by a French Mtn.

They will be forwarded nems, Ger- twine without being examined by the G(•111nitf t'.rstoms. 4 BOOKED WEEKS AHEAD. Steamers Find Difficulty in Hand- ling Immigrants. An Ottawa despatch says: At the immigration branch it is said there will be a big rush of immigration through Ottawa in the course of a a s few [reeks, according to adis e re- ceived at the Imndgration Depart- ment. About two thousand have gone through already, but the rush front the other nide is only in its in- itial singes. The steamship com- panies, It is stated. are hooked to the limit for weeks ahead. Tho immigrants that havegone throu 6 h so far are very largely British. with a sprinkling of Norwegians. 1)( those that are coming the predominating element will be English-speaking, but there will also be many Galicf- ans and Germans going to join the colonies already established by their kinsmen in the West.

Sir Wilfrid reviewed the course of the negotiatiyns and re- peated his own views that the prin- ciple adopted at Confederation was not a good one. But they had to accept it, and he thought it migh4 be well to Brake it more elastic and Less drastic.

A London despatch says: -Sarah Ann Pearson, who was arrested In Montreal, has been sentence(i to death for the murder of her mother- in-law with mercury. It was proved that site deliberately poisoned her mother-ffelaw, who was seventy-four years of nee, for the sake of a few pounds of insurance. The trial was heard at Armagh, Ireland. The ar- rest of the prisoner ens brought about in a rather singular manner. Mrs. Pearson, it wits generally be- lieved, died of senile dtcny, but while lying in jail in Armagh for assault Isaac Pearson. her son, made a statement which led to the body of his mother being exhumed.

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.
