JESPERATE FIGHTING 1Y ORIENT Kuropatkin Stubbornly Re- sists Attacks of Japan- ese, but Is Slowly Giving Way Before Their Advance |BROWN MEN CROSS THE HUN RIVER NEWCHWANG, March 3, 10 p. m,, | | via Tientsin—The Japanese have oc- cupied the first Russian station east of | | the Liaop River. The Mukden trail is closed and persons who have invested | thousands of dollars in contraband goods are threatened with bank- ruptcy. It is reported that there is a large Russian force at the second sta- tion east of Liao. | ST. PETERSBURG, March 8, 5:20 | p. m—According to the latest informa- | tion from the front,. the battle is now | general and of the most desperate | character. The losses have been ex- ceedingly heavy on both sides during the preliminary fighting. Although it is not officially admitted, it is regarded as certain that General Kuropatkin is directing all his efforts to the with- | drawal of his army to Tie Pass. It is now practically a rear guard action, but the task of extricating himself is | | | proving very difficult. The Japanese | | | have not only driven in his left, but a | column is already reported to have | crossed the Hun River east of Fushun. | At the same time the Japanese are pressing the Russian center under cov- | er of the fire of their siege guns and General Kuropatkin is gradually retir- ing before the Japanese advance. The | efforts of the Japanese to envelop the | { | Russian right wing have been unsuc- | | | cessful, but it has been forced back almost on a line with Mukden. Tw2 Russian divisions were dis-| | patched to head off the wide flanking | column advancing from the Liao Riv- | er toward Sinnintin (about thirty miles west of Mukden), but according to the | | latest advices they were too late, the | Japanese having entered the town yes- | | terday. | No official figures regarding the| losses are obtainable, but according to | unofficial reports the Russian losses up | to last night were nearly 7000 men. | General Rennenkampf particularly | | distinguished himself during the fight- ing in the mountain passes southeast | of Mukden. STV EAR PLEADS WITH SUBJECTS. | Nicholas Begs People to Rally Round 1 the Flag. ' ST. PETERSBURG, March 3.—The text of the imperial manifesto, pub- | | lished by the Official Messenger i to- | | day calling on the country to rally |round the throne in defense. of the | empire from its internal enemies; as follows: An inscrutable Providence has been pleased | to visit our fatherland with heavy trills, A blosdy war in the Far East, Involving the Konor | of Russia mnd the command of the waters of | | | the Pacific Ocean, so urgently necessary to the | | conscildation of the peaceful prosperity, not | only of cur qwn, but of other Christian nations throughout the ages, has imposed that great strain on the strength of the Russian peop! and has swallowed up many dear victims nes to ovr heart. W sia are fighting with self-sacrificing bravery, risking their lives for thefr faith, for their | | Emperor and for their country, disturbances | have broker out in our land to the joy of our enemjes and our own deep sorrow. Blinded by pride, the evil-minded leaders of a revolu- | | tionary ‘movement make insolent attacks on | the holy orthodox church end the lawfully | established piliars of the Russian state, think- ing that by severing the natural connection | with the past they will destroy the existing | order of the state and set up in fts place a rew administration on a foundation unsuitable to our fatheriand. The outrage on the Grand Duke Sergius, who ardently loved the first capital of the empire and met his end midst the sacred monuments of the Kremlin, deeply shocks the national feeling of every ome tu whom the honor of the Russian name and re- is | We humbly bear the trials sent us by Prov- United Ci g:blf Stores Co. Will Open Their New Store At 738 Market Street SOME EXTRAS AT BOTH STORES Stockton and Market and 738 MarKet Strent idence and derive and consolation from our trust in the grace which God has al- ways shown to the Russian power and from the tmmemorfal devotion which we know our loyal people entertain for the throme. With the Qelp of the prayers of the holy orthodox church and under the banner of the autoeratic might of the Emperors Russia has already frequently rassed through great wars and dis turbances, alwaye issuing from her troubles and difficulties wjth fresh and unbending strength. Nevertheless, the recent internal disorders and the instability of thought which have favored the spread of revolt and disturb- ances make it our duty to remind all those in the Government institutions of thelr serv- ices ang to call upon them to display increased soleitude in the safeguarding of the law, order and security in the firm consclousness of their moral responsibility as servants of the throne and of the fatheriand. Thinking unceasingly of the welfare of t people and firmly trusting that God, after he has tried our patience, will give victory to our arms, we appeal to right-minded people of ali classes to join us, each In his calling and his place, in single-minded co-operation by word and deed, in the great and sacred task of over- coming the stubborn foreign foe and eradicat— | Ing the revolt at home, and in_wise efforts to check the internal confusion. We wish to re— mind every one in this connection that cnly if there is tranquillity of mind throughout the whole population s it possible to realize o alms for a renewal of the quiet life of our péople, strengthening the prosperity of the state and perfection of its administration Let all those rally round the throne, true to Russia’'s past, honestly and conscienticusly | have a care in secord with ourselves for every affair of state. May God send down on the clergy holiness, on those in authority justice and truth, on the people peace, on the laws power, and on the faith strength to eonsolidation of the autocracy and the welfare of our dear subjects.
