PETERSBURG, March 12.— General Kuropatkin, accompanied by his entire staff, left here at 6 o'clock | this evening on a special train for the | Far East, where he will take com- | mand of the Manchurian army. The departure of the general was marked by demonstrations of patriot- ism and personal regard such as sel- dom have been witnessed in the Rus- ! sian capital. Thousands of persons who lined the Nevsky Prospect and the approaches to the Nicholas rail- road station vied with the highest per- sonages in the empire, including the | ‘[prinxlpul military authorities, mem- | bers of the Imperial Council, foreign military attach membebs of the | | French embassy and persons promi- | nent in society, who had assembled in- | side the station, in giving vent to ex- | pressions of confidence in the | commander who is to lead the : peror's army to victory Just as the general station Grand Duke Nicolaievitch and | the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- | Strelitz drove up and alighted. ! Modestly the general drove to the'| statfon in an open carriage. He was | dressed in the fatigue uniform of his | rank. The short, imposing figure of | Russia’s greatest general was in- | stantly recognized by the populace and | his passage down the broad boulevard | was followed by a storm of cheers, | which grew lofider as the crowd grew denser near t.. station. HATS THROWN ALOFT. Here the enthusiasm broke:out in mighty shouts, and, in spite of the cold, the air was filled with thrown aloft by the frenzied people. The imperial waiting-rooms inside | the station were crowded with celebri- | ties and the staircase leading from the | courtyard was lined by a seething mass of picturesque uniforms of Cossack | officers, bestarred generals and dis- tinguished naval men. As Kuropatkin reached the head of the stairs General Eggresstoff, white- { haired and trembling with emotion, began to speak. Inside and out there arrived at the | | Closing Out mokingJackets At $3.65. We wish to close out our stock of Smoking Jackets } an instant hush, at once because the assortment is badly broken.

Take this small image of -Alexis, your pa- tron saint, and wear it around your neck, and may the Almighty hold you in his keeping.” General Kuropatkin knelt rever- ently and accepted the talisman. Then he spoke in response. His few heart- felt words of thanks were uttered in so low a tone that they were hardly heard ten feet away. Thunderous cheers burst forth when the two war- riors clasped each other in a stréng embrace. General Kuropatkin then stepped forward. His strong personality was strikingly illustrated in the way he moved through the rooms. The Czar’s aids de camp, in their handsome uni- forms, helped to clear a space in front of the little man, whose grizzled beard and piercing eyes suggested a re- semblance to Grant. KINDLY GREETING FOR ALL. The general was entirely self-pos- sessed amid the surrounding excite- ment and he’walked easily and un- affectedly, greeting all present, em- bracing and kissing old comrades and shaking hands with officers. He did not forget the naval and military attaches, and had a kind word for every member of the group, repre- senting almost all the great armies and navies of the world. French, German, British, Italian and Austrian attaches were atttired in a picturesque few as 10 jackets. There are just 349 jackets all told —enough possibly for a two days’ sale—but Monday may see them all gone. The garments have been dividad into two lots as follows: $5, $6, $6.50 $7, $8.50, $10 Jackets for Jacke's for $3.65 $4.85 The sizes range from 34 to 44 chest measure. If you come before your size is sald out you can actually save from $2 to $5. The number of jackets is so small we will not mention colors or materials. However, each jacket is the latest style and they are what is left of the last holiday trade. : Mazl orders will be filled providing we have the size.

A GRIPPE is acute epidemic ca- tarrh. There is no remedy in the world that meets this form of ca- tarrh as thoroughly as Peruna. During the first stages of la grippe Peruna is an unfailing remedy. People who have had la grippe and have partly recovered, but remain half sick, will find Peruna exact- 1y suited to their case. There is no remedy devised that will so quickly and thorough- ly dispel the dis- agreeable and se- rious after-ef- fects of la grippe as Peruna. La grippe has been so of'-a epidem ! in this country that it has come to be : endemic disease. Every wi more or less of it.

T the appearance of the first symp- toms of grip people should stay in- doors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the 1 symptoms disappear. This will prevent a | long, disastrous sickness and perhaps | fatal results. | Without raising the discussion as to | whether la grippe is produced by a spe- | cific microbe or not, at least this much is | certain and admitted by all, it will pro- duce chronic catarrh if not promptly and | properly cured. | It leaves a person haggard, weak, sal- | 1ow, frazzled-out. mucous membranes all congested, appetite changeable, digestion capricious, and just about empties life of all meanfng or desirability. There is no remedy in the world that | meets the conditions produced by la | grippe better than the remedy. Peruna. strengthens as it removates, | soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates.

Every person who has had la grippe | during the last year should take a course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do so. The grip has produced catarrhal inflammation of the whole mucous membrane and good health is impossible until these are re- | stored to a normal condition. | This Peruna will do. §A great many remedies have been suggested for this condition from time to time, but Peruna appears to be the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases. it has stood the test of forty years® experfence and es the unigue position of bein if not the only) specific r the after-ef- fects of la grippe.

R TR JAPANESE COULD HAVE DESTROYED FOE'S ENTIRE FLEET BERLIN, March 12.—A letter from a German resident of Port Arthur, dated February 15, was published to- day. The writer describes the bound- less embitterments of all classes against the Japanese the day after the first night attack, and explains that the Russlans were “exercising that even- ing and the Japanese torpedo-boats were taken for Russians.” Continuing the letter says: “The Russian officers shared the feeling of indignation here, two-thirds of the former having obtained shore leave, some of them calling upon Mme. Stark, wife of Admiral Stark, to congratulate her, according to the Russian custom, on the anniversary of her name day, while others were at the theater, at their homes or visiting comrades. The officers found by the police sent in search of them reached their ships only after the Japanese had withdrawn.” The writer of the letter declared that the Japanese would have destroy- ed the whole squadron if they had at- tacked that evening with their entire force, and the Russians had not even distributed ammunition to their bat- teries.

GUNBOAT HELENA’S MOVEMENTS TO BE DECIDED BY EVANS WASHINGTON, March 12.—Instruc- tions have been sent from the Navy Department to Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet, to use his discretion as to longer keeping the United States gunboat Helena at New- chwang. It is understood the river is now open and that the Helena will be able to gain the open sea, should her commander so desire. The reported intention of the Russians to sink a junk at Newchwang in such a manner as would not only prevent the entrance of the Japanese, but the egress of the neutral men of war now there, gave this Government an idea of the com- plications that might easily arise if the Helena stayed. Now that the river is open the Amer- ican warships may be able to go up to Newchwang at any time, unless the channel is blocked. At any rate, while a state of war exists in Manchuria American citizens will be expected to move with more caution than during the times of peace. This Government is forced to recognize the fact that com- merce is practically at a standstill there. ‘While the outlock is rather tranquil, the State Department is preparing it- self for extremely serious complica- tions in the event of the death of the Empress Dowager of China. The Man- chu dynasty, which she represents and of which she is the most powerful influence, has.been on the throne of China almost a dozen years longer than any other dynasty in the history of that empire, where everything is gov- erned by precedent. Her death will be the signal not only for a mighty strug- gle for supremacy between other noble Chinese f#nilies, but it may bring an end to the recognition of the rights of unattainable and cabmen de- foreign influence and the more or less respectful intercourse between the Chi~ nese Government and the powers. ‘War News Continued on Page 24. agyieel) & The Up-totDate Child.
