His loss in killed und wounded before March 10 ts estimat- ed at 70,000. Nearly all his wound- ed were removed north before the railway was cut. Less than 1,000 remained in the Russian hospitals in Mukden, although thousands fell by the roadside in the retreat. Three hundred Japanese were found in these Russian hospitals. Reports as to the number of pris- oners captured are yet incomplete, More than 2,000 were captured in Mukden: The Russians set fire fo stores and the railway station, but they were only partly burned. The Japanese saved large quantities of flour and beancake and other sup- plies. Adivision of Japanese attacked Li- kampu and a small village to the south and drove the Russians out with heavy loss. The Russians on being reinforced counter attacked the village, drove out the Japanese and inflicted enormous losses. The Thir- ty-third regiment, south of the vil- lage, was practically annihilated. It received in front and on one of the flanks a heavy artillery fire before the infantry attack. DEAD SIX FEET HIGH, The Japanese were greatly out- numbered when the attack began and their dead were piled in heaps behind thelow mud walls of the village. The Russian dead were scattered over the fleld like a carpet. There was also evidence of desperate hand-to-hand fighting near the village. The bodies of the Japanese and Russians were piled together in heaps. In several places where the fighting had been closest the piles of dead were five or sixfeet high. The living had climbed on top of their dead comrades and fought and fallen, only to be follow- ed by others, until there was a med- ley of the dead of both nations so high in some cases that the little Japanese soldiers could not see over the pile. The bodies, showed many wounds, indicating that the men were fight- ing to the last, although wounded. Lakampu was the scene of a fierce street and house to house struggle. Every street, lane and compound wall shows its heap of dead. Many buildings were burned, and wounded who crawled into them for shelter were killed. To seek cover for the advancing troops was impossible on account of the frozen ground, and both the Japanese and the Russian charges were made across the open fields. THE WAR'S DEADLIEST FIGHT. The fighting at this point proba- bly was the most deadly and desper- ate of the entire war thus far. The Chinese were not allowed on the field as {¢ was feared they would rob the dead. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers are still engaged clearing the field and burying and burning the dead. Most of the Japanese wounded have been removed to the hospitals in Mukden.

No cause is eral Kuropatkin, the old idol of the private soldier, has been dismissed and disgraced «nd Jeneral Lineviteh, commander of the First army, who has been appoiuted to succeed him, isincowmand of all the Russian land and sea forces operating against Japan. The word “disgrace” is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order gazetted which contains not a single word of praise of Kuropatkin and also disposes of the rumor that Kuropatkin had asked to be relieved, The Rossian military annals contain no more bitter imperial rebuke. While it was known that the war council already had decided to sup- plant Kuropatkin after the Mukden disaster the decision to confer the task of saving the remainder of the army on Linevitch, tn the very midst of its flight, although bruited last night, came as a surprise, ing a term of two years, but his vic- tory was achieved only after he had given his pledge to resign and sur- render the chair to Lieut. Gov. Jesse F. McDonald. The vote in joint convention of the general assembly by which Gov. Alva Adams was ousted and Gov. James H, Peabody installed was 51 to 41. Ten Republicans voted with the Dem- ocratic members for Adams. It was more fn the nature of a party than a persona! triumph, for both Peabody and McDonald are Republicans and Adamsis a Democrat. Although the Republican majority on joint ballot is 35, the membership of the legtala- ture being 66 Republicans and 31 Democrats, it has been found impos- sible to gain for Peabody enough Re- publican votes to reinstate him as governor for the remainder of the biennial term ending in January, 1907. Twenty-two Republican members of the general assembly, according i toreport, refused to be bound by any action in caucus on the contest and entered into a compact not to vote for Peabody. A majority of them, however, were in favor of seating the lieutenant governorin the governor's chair if means could be found to do 80 legally. Finally the leaders of the opposition Republican factions ar- ranged a compromise by which Pea- body would be vindicated by being declared elected, and McDonald would i be made governor. Washington, March 18.—“Please, please take the ropes from my hands and from the hands of my people, and let us be free,” was the plea of Geronimo, the old Appache warrior, to the President. He begged that be be released from captivity in which he is held at Fort Sill, Oklaho- ma, and allowed to return to his old hunting grounds in Arizona. “We are tired of living ina strange land,” he pleaded, “and want to go back to our old home, We will be good,” Mr. Roosevelt was not convinced by the argument an in replying to it he fell into the Indian style of talk. “You hada bad heart when you were in Arizona,” the President told Geronimo. “You tortured and kil! the Great White Father's people and burned their houses, I am notsure that you now have good heart. I have appoinied Mr. Leupp to watch over you and he will report to me. It you prove that you now have a good heart we may, perhaps, let you go back to your old home, but not now.” Geronimo was accompanied to the White House by Hollow Horn Bear and American Horse of the Sioux; Quanah Parker, chief of the Com- manches; and Little Plume of thé Black Feet. The Indians tried to see the President yesterday but were turned down, as they had not paid their respects to Commissfoner Leupp. Mr. Leupp went with them today and ‘presented them to the President. Geronimo, chief of the Appacher, was the cruelist Indian the West ever knew. For years his band of rene- gades roamed through New Mexico and Arizona and across the border into Mexico, torturing and murder- {ng settlers. In 1886 Gen. Miles was given command of the region and or- dered to clean out the Indians, Fee selected two officers anda small band of soldiers to follow Geronimo until they captured him. These men were Capt H. W. Lawton, afterward a general, killed in the Philippine war, and Dr. Leonard Wood, then a young army surgeon and now gene- ral commanding the army in the Philippines. For four months they trailed the Apaches day and night until at last Geronimo surrendered and begged Lawton forhislife. Gen. Miles in his book of reminescences, thus describes the capture: “Geronimo rode into ourcamp and dismounted. He was one of the brightest, most resolute, determined looking men that I have ever en- countered. He had the cleverest, sharpest dark eyes that I think I have ever seen, unless it was that of Gen. Sherman. Every movement in- dicated power, energy and determi- uation. In everything ‘he did he had @ parpose. The Indians that surrendered with Geronimo have never been matched since the days ot ‘Robin Hood.’ Many of the warriors were outlaws from their own tribes. Their clothing was trimmed in such a way that when lying in a bunch of grass, it they re- mained perfectly silent, it wasimpos- sible to distinguish them as if they had been a bird or & serpent.” Most of the Apaches were sent to Fort Marion, Fla., but later were transferred to Ft. Sill. Race Campaign in Muskogee. Muskogee, I. T., March 20.—The Democrats of this city have announe- ed the nominees forcity ottices. Both parties nominated straight tickets. The city campaign is going to be an unusual one for the reason that the Republican ticket has several negro candidates, The election this year is likely vo be fought upon race lines more than upon regular polities. Last year the Republicans elected every councilman but one. A good many of the white Republicans de clare that they will not support a ticket with negroes on it. The Dem- ocratic slogan will be, “A white man’s ticket,” and the campaign|— will be fought out on that Ine. Judge Scores Plaintiff Who Sought Divorce. Kansas City, Mo., March 18.—“A man should investigate carefully the character of the girl he is to marry. It he knows her faults before the cer- mony, he cannot feel himself aggriev- ed in law if those same faults make the married state intolerable. If a man knows a girl drinks, even beer, he is taking his life in hishands when he marries her. The appetite for liquor fs bad enough in a man, but all know it fs tenfold worse in conse- quences in women. “To my mind one of the greatest evils of our day is the tendency of girls and young women todrink beer and occassionally a cocktail or two. u Society 1s going to be much the i worse for it twenty-five years from now. Butthy man, who knowing and encouraging these things, would come into court and give evidence to blacken the character of a woman is a dirty dog and should be hounded from the halls of justice.” With these observations Judge Park in the circuit court to-day, de- nied the motion of Cornelius Dailey for a new trial in his proceedings for divorce from Anna Dailey. Dailey is a saloon keeper, who married a 14- year-old girl. She became a slave to 4 liquor and is now in the St. Joseph 4 insane asylum. When Dailey was dented ‘his divorce some time ago, Judge Park said: “A man who makes his livelihood the business of selling stuff to make drunkards has no complaint when the consequences of his traffic comes home to him.
