"lu New York and vicinity we are
a good deal wiser, hut somewhat
poorer by following blindly theun-j
reasonable methods and the high

ship of a national organisation un
til we are Hrst assured tbat our in
terests will be managed by sober and
Intelligent officers. We therefore ask
our brothers in the west not to get
discouraged by the crushing defeat
they have received, but build up
your organisation on a more 8 'lid
basis and some day In the future
when you' action will be wiser and
your officers sane, we will be only
ton glad to again grasp your hand
and offer to you our hearty co-operation.

doned the attempt to head off Geo

irrived safely at Mukden after a
frightful experiences in floundering
through 'mud and moreover tbe Man

It is evident tbat tbe last deter

Kuropatkln tu nay has been made
out the Russian commander-in-chief
lact-d about two corps with artillery
ind heat off tbe Japanese, while the
remainder of tbe ttoops continued

Ihe Japansee could only hang onto

The outposts are still in contact,
ant they are not even exchanging
shots.
An impenetrable curtain seems to

the Russian transpoit is over. Tha
Japanese have crossed the Sbakhe
and are now resting. Only the Rus
ilaii and Japaneso outposts are In

The Russo-Japanese bank at Muk
den bas been closed and tbe civil
authorities are preparing to leave
Tha Russian retreat here has baen
accomplished without losses and
witb the precision or a review at
Krasnoye-Selo. The accumulation
of wounded between Lloa Yang and
Mukden tested to tbe utmost tbe
resources of tbe Red Cross. Most of
tbe transport was carried lo tte
roughest kind of two wheeled carta,
but tbe arrangements for providing
the troops witb fQod along tbe UCB
of retreat worked magnlncently.
During the Ave days from August 34
