or, in other words, the; give them credit for having absolutely no political morals at all, and fer being governed by the purest selfisnniess.What odds is it to an, honorable, patriotic man whether he votes on the winning or the losing side, in so far as the casting of his vote is concerned?Any other ground than a public one for casting a vote is a personal one\u2014a selfish one\u2014in plain language, a corrupt one.Whatever the form of it may be, it is taking a bribe and selling a trust.This crowing may, however, be indulged in in the pure exhilaration of the conflict, as soldiers waste their breath when they make a bayonet charge.A poet, who recognized in mgn \u2018| a certain inheritance of remote and no longer useful animal qualities, exhorted his generation\u2014the generation of Dar- win\u2014to Jet the ape and tiger die.However we may have done about these, it would seem that the rooster is in full flop in us still When one cock hears another cock crow on another midden, what can he do but crow too?As for the horrible tales, let us not suppose that they have been saved up to use as roorbacks.Rather, let us suppose that they are evolved out of the iIn- creasing heat of the fight, and that things which in cool blood would be winspered in the ear in closets can no longer be retained and go off like fireworks upon the house tops.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Lord Avcbury.who is even now more popularly known as Sir John Lubbock than bv bis more recent title, has put his finger upon the weakest place in Mr.Chamberlain's imperial preferential propaganda, when he points out that Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, though giving Great Britain a preference against foreigners, show no disposition to place the Mother Country's manufacturers on an equality with their own.On an equality, indeed! Why.where | | Canada has given Great Britain a preference, and it has resulted in any advantage whatsoever to British manufacturers, Canadian manufacturers are working overtime to get the preference removed, or the tariff wall on those especial lines built =o high that even with a brick or two taken off the top it would etiil Le too high for British gdods to sutmeunt.Yet Lord Avebury declares that unless the colonies are prepared to place British manufacturers on an equality with colonial ones (sooner or later) he fears that a conference will be not only useless, but actually injurious.We presume that the injury that the English Liberals unanimously see in such a conference is that it will cause bad blood and weaken the attachment of the colonies.We colonists do not fear so much from so small a cause, We have welcomed the proposed conference, as 1t could hardly fail to crack a number left in solitude, the imagination makes it | and seldom repair.\u2018indeed THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.of empty nutshells.Lord Avebury\u2019s opinion carries extraordinary Weight with his fellow-countrymen, who have been | much bamboozled on this quéstion.\u201d - ents It is pleasant to see\u201c anything really\u2018 in good taste designed for our mountain, It would have been better could we have been spared any device of man upon its brow.It is not a big mountain, but, if bigger than it is, and gives it a majesty of which it 1s speedily robbed by any structure of which the eye can easily measure the size.If we must have a lookout on the very front of the mountain, with coach house and cook house, and what not, on the grand scale demanded by our aldermen, we think it\u2019 should be on the lines adopted in the plan of Mr.Todd, as shown in this paper.On inquiry, we learn that the author of this pleasant surprise is a thoroughly trained landscape artist, having spent years with Olmsted, who, as the greatest landscape artist of his day, was called in to lay out our mountain park.The charm of this plan is that it is calculated to nestle back into the greenery of the forest, and, if built with large stones and roofed with large, rugged tiles, it would have less of a belittling effect than if any smoother and more definite material were used.The practical value of it is that it is indestructible, and would never need paint The extreme pains which Mr.Todd has taken, as revealed in his topographical surveys, to-study.the natural conditions and to take advantage of the existing trees, entitle his work to consideration if its wisdom and beauty did not at once commend it.Well devised as it may be, however, to hide itself in foliage, it will still be obtrusive until it is well obscured by wild bushes planted in front of it, and creepers growing over it.The cost of providing these is included in Mr.Todd\u2019s estimates.Whatever we do, let us have no more protruding sheds: let us, above all things, have no castles; and a flower garden in such a place would: be an outrage.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2018LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE, Whatever may be the result of the elections on Thursday, two tired men, Str Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.Robert Laird Borden, will be heartily glad that.they are over.They have both worked | harder during the past few weeks than the majority of us would like to da;.aad\u2019 they must be \u2018tired to death?- Thére are only two more clear days before the electors will have to decide the momentous question as to what set of men and principles are to govern Canada during the next few years.The result is\u2019 in! EEE EE most popular at the moment.But a \u2018man \u2018who was both prescient and disinterested could not be led into thinking that it.was the best for the country.The great objection to a government led by Mr.Borden is the fact that it would be frankly a government of privilege, and a government of privilege has never long escaped the blight of corruption in the history of nations.The Conservative party was the party of privilege in the past, having to its discredit the Canadian Pacific scandal, the McGreevy- Langevin scandal, the Curran scandal, and an Augean stable of minor misdeeds.The Liberal party, though far from what it.should be, has had no such discreditable transactions.The Liberal party, so far as we can see is certainly much better off for present and prospective ministerial material than the Conservatives, and the past and present members of Sir Wilfrid Lauriers two governments have been largely rien whom the country has admired, and those governments have been héld pretty well in hand by his own powerful restraining influence! Our conclusion, after the most careful weighing of pros and coms, most decidedly 1s that the courtry is better off and will continue to be better off under a Liberal than under a Conservative government.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE ROYAL PEACEMAKER.The British-French arbitration treaty bas set a good example.It was extended to Italy, which has much the same sort of treaty with both Great Britain and France; and only a little while ago, a treaty was concluded between Germany and Great Britain much to the same effect.Steps are now being taken to conclude such treaties between the United States and Great Britain and between France and the United States, and such treaties are expected to come into effect shortly after the presidential elections.While these treaties are of necessity partial in their terms, and do not cover every case out of which a quarrel might arise between the contracting mations (questions affecting \u2018honor\u2019 being specifically excluded), it is nevertheless a fact that already the Anglo-French treaty, and the entente cordiale, of which the treaty was the most potent outward and visible sign, have even now preserved the peace of Europe.When the Russian privateers were sent through the Dardanelles and captured British merchantmen, it is .acknowledged that the French Foreign ! Offce had much to do with her ally, Russia, giving up her prizes, and giving a promise not to transgress in the same way again.Otherwise, ft is ninety- nime chances in a hundred that Great Britain would have had to make bellicose demands.The Russian hope has al- \"ways appeared to be to drag her ally, France, into war with Britain in terms the future, but there are many reasons |°Ë the Russo-French treaty.In that for supposing that the electors will re-|Case other nations also would likely tain the present party in power.Sir have been dragged into it.Again, Wilfrid Laurier himself, for instance, is à statesman of whom any country could be proud.History will probably long accord him the first place in Canadian statesmanship.A gentleman, \u2018sans peur et sans reproche,\u2019 with the highest ideals and the broadest sympathies he \u2018 sees life clearly and sees it whole,\u201d so far as it is given only to the few to do, and he deservedly is loved and admired at home and admired and respected abroad.His advent to the leadership of the Liberal party was one of the greatest blessings the country ever received, if only for the reason that it taught our fellow- countrymen of French origin that Cana- diuns of British extraction were quite willing to be led by one of them if he were intellectually and morally worthy.Such Bir Wilfrid was eminently found to be, and since he has worn the mantle of power he has done all that he could to make citizenship in Canada hational instead of sectional.ln this he has been successful in wonderful measure, so much so, that when an orator to-day, from policy or constitutional narrowness, appeals to the rural electors on the grounds of racial or religious prejudice, if it is discovered to the world through the newspapers: those guilty are ashamed and either try to minimize or deny it altogether.Not so very long ago, racial and religious prejudices were.the politician\u2019s most prominent weapons, which he carried about with him as ostentatiously as Sir Lucius O\u201dTrigger carried about his duelling principles and paraphernalia.lt is a great and beneficent change.In Mr.Borden the country would have a good man, but one untried politically, and, so far as appears, little if any tried ministerial material to choose from that- would be acceptable to the country.A ministry formed by: Mr.Borden would resemble somewhat the reconstructed cabinet of MMr.Balfour, whose members have never impressed the country with their personality or gained its confidence.We might imagine Mr.Borden himself to be a greit man if we did not think him honest.A really prescient man might adopt the moribund policy of protection as in his view the the North Sea trawlers, ed Great Britain diplomatically and did much to make Russia consent to refer sion.there is highly satisfactory proof that arbitration treaties.even although they cannot partial they may be, beneficent so far as they go.' gotiation he would when the Russian Baltic fleet fired on France assist- the matter to an international commis- So that already, as we have said, cover everything and however are nothing but The two contemplated treaties of the United States with France and (Great Britain may be expected to increase the strength of arbitration in international disputes in geometrical ratio, and make it more and more difficult for war to break out between civilized countries.The present war must be salutary in the end, as the blood and treasure already expended, with small gain to any one, especially tlie aggressor.have appalled the nations.In France, especially, which has waded through so much slaughter in the past, in pursuit of \u2018glory,\u201d and which was for so many years the chief disturbing force in Europe, a very different ideal now prevails.From the disturber she has changed into the peacemaker, and all the world is grateful to her.In such a mood her public men see how menacing is the present war, they see that other incidents as grave as the privateering, the contraband disputes, and the wanton destruction of poor fishermen may occur, and that another such spark might set the affame.world The most peaceful powers, as M.Hanotaux, the former French minister of foreign affairs, says, are at the mercy of a surprise, or coup d'etat, and he suggests that a \u2018roval\u2019 move which would bring about true reconciliation between the two belligerents would call for the cordial approval of the whole uni- vegge.The \u2018royal\u2019 here clearly points to King Edward, who, M.Hanotaux knows, has already done so much for the world\u2019s peace.There is no doubt of the King\u2019s alertness in the matter were his initiative.to become admissable, as it does not now seem to be.If he could succeed In bringing about a basis of ne- indeed go down through the ages as Edward the Peace- Torsnary, November 1, 1904 maker, and live in his people\u2019s affections forever as we still know and love Alfred the Great through the, memories of a thousand years.There is a faint hope that it might be accomplished if all the nations were to act together, and it is a good sign that France and England, allied as they are to opposing sides, should express the most concern to re-establish peace.FIVE MEN GOT DRUNK.Five men went out driving last Sunday and got drunk.Now.one is dead, one is injured, two have fled; and the oldest of the five, a man of seventy- three, was yesterday condemned to pay à fine of five dollars for drunkenness.It appears that the men were glassblowers by trade, and had only recently come to work in the city.After hiring the vehicle, they proceeded to Maison- neuve, where they spent the afternoon drinking.Coming home, two of the men began to quarrel and finally got out of the vehicle to fight.This happened at the corne& of Marlborough street and Notre Dame street.The combatants struggled on the car tracks, and a car finally dashed into them, killing one and wounding another.The excuse of the motorman is that the streets were so dark that it was impossible to sce ten feet ahead of the car.Something might be said in condemnation of the way-in which our city is lighted, and blinded, turn about.If we are to have glaring lights they should be sufficiently frequent to prevent confusing people by spells of blindness.This would obviate the need of putting lights on vehicles, from cabs to bicycles.Why on these only it is hard to say.This 1s by the way.The pressing question is where did these men get the liquor that caused ome of them to lose his life ?It was a Sunday, when all licensed houses are closed by law.When Recorder Poirier fined the old man yesterday for drunkenness, he tried to find out where the party got the liquor, but could obtain no satisfaction.He then said: \u2018lt is very regrettable \u2018that all who have participated in this \u2018affair cannot be reached.There ought \u2018to be something more important for \u2018society bo consider than the profits of \u2018hotel-keepers who insist on selling li- \u2018quor om Sunday.We must differ from Recorder Poirier.\u201che selling of liquor on Sunday is not only regrettable hut preventable, and in this case the police should \u2018be made to find out where the: liquor that caused the tragedy wus obtained.Maisonneuve is not a large place, though, unfortunately, it has an enormous number of taverns to choose among.Still.a party of five men, a horse and vehicle, are not easily concealed.Many people must have seen these men, and, unless the whole population are in league with the liquor men, formation could easily be obtained that would bring the guilty caloon keepers to justice.The truth is, however, that even in the city.there are dozens of saloons that sell more liquor on Sundays than they do all the other days of the week, and the polize know all about it.At least, if they do not, they are gross ly incompetent and need immediate remodelling.In the presemt case.wil] the public insist upon the guilty saloon keepers being discovered and given the heaviest punichment provided by n- the Taw, or has the public really no conscience and sense of duty in the matter ?\u2014- \u2014 WHY I AM A LIBERAL.When Andrew Reid edited for Cassell & Co., London, in 1885, a volume in which a number of leaders cf English men of thought answered this question.Browning furnished the following sonnet at the request of the editor: \u201c \u201cWhy?\u201d Because all I hapiy can do.All that I am now.all I hope to be Whence comes it save from fortune setting free Body and soul the purpose to pursue, God traced for both?If fetters not a few Of prejudice conviction, fell from mc, These shall I bid men\u2014each in bis degree Also God-guided\u2014bear, and gaily,

Mr.A.R.Oughtred referring to the allegation on behalf of Mr.Cooke, that it was customary for Crown presecutors to conduct private prosecutions, maintained that the practice was contrary to law and a disgrace to the protes- sion.Speaking on behalf of Mr.Cooke.Mr, Lafleur submitted that no inference could be drawn from the facts of the trial, and the charges against Mr.Cooke were based only on the

TO SELL COTTON TO JAPS \u2014 FLOUR TRADE COULD BE INCREASED.\u2014 \u201c Ottawa, Oct.31.\u2014Mr.Alexander Maclea who represents the Dominon a Common al agent I Japan reports to the Trade and Commerce Department upon prospects «\u20acor enlarging Canadian trade with that coun-\\ try.Canadlan cotton manufacturers had asked what opening there was to push trade in their goods with Japan.In reply Mr.Maclean says that Britain at present belds a monopoly of the import trade.The: Japanese, however, have many and extensive cotton mills of their own.The imports last year of cotton goods amounted to close on six million dlllars.The duties are againrt Canada to the extent of the difference between the conventional and the general tariff, so there is not much chance of Canada being able to sell cottons ta Japan while that condition lasts; 331,765 worth of Canadian flour was imported into Japan in the first eight months of the present year, a remarkable ingrease over last year in spite of the higher price it commands.This is due no doubt to the Cisplay made at the Osaka exhibition, and Mr.Maclean urges Canadian millers to take full advantage of tlie advertisement Canadian flour got ôn that occasion.COTTON MILLS START ANEW AUGUSTA AND PROVIDENCE MILLS REOPEN AFTER DULL PERIOD.i \u2014 Providence,R.I.,Oct.31\u2014Mills of the Hope Company, in the villages of Hope and

ending Oct.30, dropped off to the very low figure of 47,262 boxes, as against $5832 boxes last week: there 13 am increase over the corresponding period of last year of about 5,000 boxes, which fact has helped to slightly raise the average of the season's shipments, and place the figures within a lew thousand boxes of the 1902 shipments.There is, of course, still a heavy decrease on last year's exports for the season, the difference being nearly 340,000 boxes short.The present conditions of the cheese market must be very unsatisfactory to the trade, as it bas been thought all along that business would! tecome extremely active a few weeks be- fcre navigation closed, so as to partially | clear the heavy stocks.; Butter abipments have fallen off in a like degree to those of cheese, the figures for week ending Oct.30, being only 11,150 packages, which while about 1,500 short of the previous week, still maintain a much better average than the figures far the same period of 1902 and 1905.The ship: ments for the seasen amount to 458,957 packages, an improvement on last year of about 133,000 packages, but still a matter of 14,000 packages short cf the 1902

1 might have known she was drugged at the fair, and them so eager to sell, and all\u2019 A few duys after the above conversations, the two children were idly throwing corn to the chickens, when a white- äproned figure appeared in the porch.\u201cThere\u2019s mother.said Nancy.\u2018Oh, what's the matter, I wonder?\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s father said she, coming forward with a very white face.\u2018He's worse; Joe must hurry and fetch the doctor and bring him back straight off The farmer had complained of a slight headache, after a hard day's work in the haytield, and though he put it down to a touch of the sun, nobody had thought much of it, until.atter a heavy sleep, bis wife found h-m feverish and delirious.Off Joe went in haste, whistling, poor boy, to keep up his heart.lt seemed such a dreadful thing to these healthy country \u201cchildren, who never saw the doctor.or took medicine from one vear's end to another.lt it had been any- iedy eise they could have understood it; but father ill, father in a fever! lt was toe dreadful to think ot.Joe's whistle died away dismally, and Nancy followed her mother into the house, with a very scared little face.\u2018Can 1 come in, she asked and at mother\u2019s nod she slipped into the corner of the large.sanded kitchen floor.Poor father! He lay all his length ou the settle, looking bigger and stronger than ever, with his bair and beard rumpled.and the high color on his cheeks.He was muttering broken sentences, aud shouting orders to his men, as if he thought himself still at work in the hay.Nancy crouched miserably in her corner, watching her mother laying cooligg cloths on his head, drawing the curtains closer, and bushing the singing of the kettle on the hob.\u2018We must keep him quiet\u2019 she said; and Nancy killed a blue-bottle who was banging his head against the diamond- paned window.She would have preferred to go and sit in the porch, where she could watch and listen for the wheels of the doctor\u2019s trap.Then she fell to calculating how long he would be.An hour\u2014no, ne would run, three-quarters, about, and then, finding the doctor\u2014and they would drive back, no doubt.Yes, he could not be much less than an hour and a half.\u2018What's that nose?\u2019 asked her mother, in a whisper.Yes, there was a sound.A scraping sound, or rather, as if someone were using a chisel, in the outbuilding across the yard.Then came two or three thuds like a bammer on wood; and Nancy's heart stood still for a second.\u2018Eh,\u2019 said father, suddenly, half-open- ing his eyes.And mother wrung her bands, in distress.\u2018Oh, what a pity.quiet!\u2019 DU see what it is\u2019 said Nancy, quietly, and she slipped out of the door.What was it?In the dark yard she fancied all kinds of vague, moving shad-| ows, and the sound went on; but now! the bammering was more frequent.So!

God of Bethel, by whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through ihis weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led.Mingling with the hymn came the occasional deep clang of the tolling be:l in the parish church on the hill.More honor, more affectionate respcct, could not have been accorded to this poor minister in his last journey to the scene of his labors, if he had been a prince of the blood.Nay, royalty itself could not have claimed a tribute which was paid to him, for the whole way was watered by the tears of personal love, personal loss, personal grief.In the great sombre black-draped chapel where he had preached for so long, only a third of the multitude were able to find room.They stood packed in the aisies, in the gallery ways, in the entrance lobby, inside the vestry doors, at the back of the organ chamber.A tense emotion held them, and from all parts could be heard the sound of sobbing.So many ministers were there, anxious and ready to take part, thas the task of selection hud been a diffjeuit one.pnd it was\u2014emby the \u2018oldest friends who hid been asked to officiate.When he who was the oldest of all, the coilege tutor of early days, the close and intimate confidant ever since, rose in the pulpit, bowed with age and emotion, and tried to speak, electriz thrill ran through the corrgaeink congregation.\u2018Know ye not thaf there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel\u2019 .Yes, but thank God, only fallen on sleep.Rest was sweet after the day's work was done, and to none could it ever come sweeter than to this devoted servant of Christ, this great-hvarted warrior, who had borne the heat and burden of the strife for thirty-rive years.Ah, but there was a vacancy which cried out to the skies.Every onc had loved him.The district was the poorer for his loss, niany a hearth would be the drearier, many a heart the emptier.This pulpit, too! There was always something sad in emptiness, but the sting was taken away when they reflected that the hope of Christendom lay in an empty grave.\u2019 Thus, in trembling aged tows, and with deep tenderness he spuke, grap: pling with his intense emotion.Again the unwelcome thought forced itself home to the merchant as he sat with bowed head: \u2018How many will mourn jor me when 1 He dead: And he answered himself in anguish.Not one!\u2019 Out in the chapel burying-zround, which looked down quietly upon \u2018the smoke and squalor and travail of the valiey, there was gathered a crowd of people such as hal never been seen there before, as the lasl sorrowing of- tices were said.The clouds had broken over the western hill, and the gleam of the sinking sun fell athwart the scene as with parting blessing.There rese upon the air the sweet, fresh voices of children singing a hymn which be had always loved to near them sing, and tien the rector\u2019's tremulous tones pronounced the Benediction.Slewiy the dense crowd melted away, leaving him to rest on the slopes of the valley in which he had loved to labor, amongst the working people to whom ne had loved to minister, under the shadow of the building in which he had loved to preach.The merchant went into the little \u2018ront room in which his brother's body had Jain.(God had shown him his own shrivelled soul.With a \u2018sudden movement he stretched his hands out to the photograph on the wall.\u2018Ah!\u2019 he said.\u2018Yours was the better part.You wav rich, rich, rich, and I\u2014I am x pitiful pauper.\u2019 ; There was a rustle behind him.His niece had glided into the room, and was looking round upon its emptiness with inexpressible loneliness and grief.He turned towards her and took her hands in his.She turned away for a moment, and then looked him in the face.Her swimming evs and trembling lips gave thu answer that she could nol find voice to utter.Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence and barometer of vital and experimental religion \u2014Spurgeon.mr Phone Main-1714.PHONOCRAPHIC AND SHORTHAND, TYPEWRIT BOOK-KEEPING\u2014The Leveque Universal Positions guaranteed to 2204 8t.Catherine street, opposite LEADING SCHOOL!

mukizg a good defence, but the-Japan, ese arc approacking now by \u2018Parallel confessedly cluse to important Russian fortitications.While this form.of attack is less spectacular and less costly in men than repeated assault, it is no less conclusive in ultimate resylts, de- maudiug a sleepless defence and being almost impossible to frustrate.- AN INTENSE CANNONADE.St.Petersburg, Oct.31.\u2014Gen.Stoes- sel reports, under date of Oct.27, that on the previous day Port Arthur was subjected to an intense cannonade directed especially against the forts pro- tectiny the north front of the city.An infantry attack was repulsed, the fighting ended at six o'clock in the evening, but the bombardment continued throughout the night.THE MIKADO'S BIRTHDAY.London, Nov.1.\u2014The nearmess of Nov.3, which is the Mikado\u2019s birthday, and the often alleged intention of Gen.Nogi, to make a birthday gift of Port Arthur to him, are probably answerable for some of the stories\u2019 of the impending fall of the fortress.There certainly seems to have been a fresh combined sea and land attack, which is, perhaps, continuing, but what progress, ii any, the Japanese have made, i, unkiown.All the reports come from # foo.ENORMOUS REINFORCEMENTS.JAPANESE NUMERICALLY ~EQUAL WITH RUSSIANS IN MAN.CHURLA.St.Petersburg, Nov.1.\u20143.06 a.m\u2014 Everything indicates that both the Japanese and the Russian armies south of Mukden are ready for a resumption of hostilities, if indeed fighting has not already begun.Gen.Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese have received reinforcements from the south and Feng huang cheng.Their concentration seems to have been accom Herod, and they are ready to resume the offensive both east and west of the Tmilway.There is no official estimate of \u2018the strength of the Japanese reinforcements, but correspondents place it at from 40,- 000 to 60,000.It is believed that the Japanese force has been largely augmented both from Port Arthur, where an\u2019 engineering siege has been begun, and Japan, from whence, it is understood, every available man is being drafted: It seems to be assured that the Japanese will be able to meet Gen.Kuropatkin on an almost if not quite an equal numerical footing.The mere fact that they are again threatening a double flanking movement indicates Field Marshal Oyama\u2019s confidence in the sufficiency of the force at his disposal.It is believed here that the second battle on the Sha khe river will prove to be as much bigger and more serions than the first, as the first was more serious than the battle of Liao ang.Gen.Kutopatkin is confronted by an exceedingly difficult problem.He is pitted against a Japanese force stronger, even despite its recent losses, than that first oppesing his southern advance.If Kuropatkin now succeeds in checking, even, or in breaking the Japanese formation, it will open large possibilities for the brief remainder of the esent year\u2019s campaign.On the other and, a Russian reverse now would render the\u2019 position exceedingly critical.Despatches indicate the resumption of fighting on both extremities of the Russian front.The night of Oct.30 the Japanese attacked the Russian entrenchments east of Sin chin pu, but were repulsed, though the bombardment continued throughout Japanese advance has also been begun against the Russian positions at Tung ga non, a mile and a half north of Ben tsia pu tze, where they encountered a heavy Russian fire.Thus it appears that the Japanese are becoming aggressive along the whole front from n tsia pu tze, on the extreme east, to Sin chin pu, which is west of the Sha khe river, where that stream bends south after crossing the railway.This probably constitutes the extreme Russian west, making the battle front about the same as when Gen.Kuropatkin began his southern movement.INTRENCHING PROCEEDING.BOFH SIDES PREPARING FOR A WINTER CAMPAIGN.Mukden, Oct.31\u2014(via Pekin) \u2014Fhe manifestations of the Japanese in their centre, which now converges at a point where the plains meets the hills, have attained the greatest importance.These manifestations are being fully met by the Russians, so that the situation at this point of the prospective battlefield is now one of the greatest interest and apprehension.At the present moment the trenches en both sides are crowded with troops and at many places the Japanese and Russians are within hailing distance.At the isolated hill of Manalon, in the plain where the Russians ten days ago captured 14 guns and bayoneted 800 Japanese, the rival forces are only 600 paces apart.The situation is perhaps the most remarkable in military annals.Two armies, each with the other as an objective, are approaching while constructing siege works, the making of which both sides are accelerating each morning revealing the work done over night to the observation stations on every.hill top.Fhe Japanese after thelr disaster at Manalon Hill retaliated od Oct.27 by turning the Russians from a pyramidal hill opposite Fen chja, pu, seven miles the night.A stood a loss of 60 percent from atti fire on the afternoo -of the bith fs fore they were forced \u2018out y the Jae ese infantry at night.be :Jnphnéoe- abandoned the position immediately ter it was taken.This event: does Ha ual in importance the capture of Mas alon Hill.The Japanese-who are posted: on a similar hill to the south, ajpear now to have most determined de: ene to retrieve the position they abandoned.A RUSSIAN BOMBARDMENT.Last night there was the heaviest bombardment of the week from the Russian batteries, and « the Rusnand are seemingly apprehensive of a crucial, surprise.This bombardment was af, companied by a continuous rifle fire, while the infantry advanced by mean?of quick emtrenching at intervals of a few hundred feet under cover of darkness.The outcome of this activity is a tense vigilance along the entire extended front.This tension, taken in connection with the reported reinfôrce- ments of the Japanese by one and a half divisions, from Port Arthur, is likely to precipitate a great battle within a few days.Combatants, however, apparently are mot disinclined to \u2018winter in their present positions, as since the last tour of the Russian positions made by the correspondent of the Associated Press the forces have adopted a system of winter housing in the

attacked by torpedo ats.They say that St.Petersburg accepts their view, and will not recede from it.They declare that, whatever the findings of the international commission mgy.be, the Czar cannot censure or punish officers who did their duty.Their attitude is all the stronger because they feek the\" sting of the accusation made against them that they were suffering fram, her vousness, The
