Kuropatkin Will Not Take the In itiative 'Has the Best'; of It Now Japanese is Strong ly Reinforced and Con- ..p ditions more Fav - . orable. : St. Petersburg, Nov. 24. Appear- ances again point to the possibility of a big battle SOUth ,T)f Mukden. The Japanese according to an offi-ero cial report, nave received a severe setback in the, vicinity of Smtsin- sin, in which direction they were apparently attempting to execute a wide turning movement. The opin ion here scarcely believes it possi- bio that the two great . armies can winter less than a rifle shot -distant from each. other, though the heavy defenses on each side make it ex tremely difficult for either to assume the offensive. . It is believed, however, that if the deadlock ia to be broken General Kuropatkin will let Field Marshal Oyama take the initiative, as the Russians have the better of the present position, namely, a strong line of defense and Mukden behind them, making satisfactory winter, quarters, where the Russian rein iorcements are now accumulating for an advance next.: spring. The Japanese also are being strongly re inforced. The rivers are sufficiently frozen to permit of the . movement of ar tillery and commissariat trains, so that the country, actually is better adapted to a Japanese advance than during the summer. London, Nov. 23. A dispatch from Tokio to the Standard reports increasing desertions from the Port Arthur Garrison into the Japanese lines, the stories the deserters tell indicating the demoralization of the Russian defenders The same correspondent says the Russian de fenders on the eeafront of Port Ar thur no longer fire 'oh the approach of the Japanese warships. A Japanese correspondent writ-, ing to the Morning ' Post, betrays growing anxle'ty concerning the Russian second Pacific squadron, which ' probably is due to ' the strength of Port Arthur's resisting power, tie points out the incon sistency of Egypt in ' permitting Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's ships to coal when notgoing to a Russian port, compared with the refusal of such facilities when the Spanish Admiral, Camara, wanted to take the battle ship Palayo by. the Suez route six years ago, and maintains it is great Britain's business to com pel Egypt to maintain neutrality in tha present case. The Daily Telegraph's correspond ent at Port Said says the Russian warships when berthed will be com pletely isolated fro n other shipping and that they will be allowed to take on water' and provisions, but the correspondent adds it is still doubtful whether they will be per mitted to coal, the authorities 88 ru ing to be undecided on that point. Copenhagen - telegrams report that the supplementary detachment of the Russian second Pacific squad ron is still detained at Skagen by storms. London, Nov. 23. The Japanese according to a dispotch from Che foo t the Chronicle, are reported to have captured the British steam er Tung Chow, laden with $0,000 cases of canned meat for Port Ar thur. . Tokio, Nov. 23. Army I head quarters yesterday received the fol lowing telegram from Manchuria headquarters: "On Monday, November 21, in the morning, our detachment ad vanced toward Weilzuku north of Sclenchuang, and attacked and oc cupied the enemy's bivouacking ground. : - "Subsequently a superior force of the enemy gradually pressed our lef flank and rear. Receiving rein forcements, -we drove the enemy towards Chenholin at 8:30 a. m. "The enemy's strength was about 600 infantry and 300 cavalry, with four guns. - "The enemy left four dead bodies on the field. We took six prisoners as well a3 spoils, including rifles, entrenching tools, ammunition, etc. "Our casualties were Lieutenant Inpnye killgd and 23 men killed- or wounded. I , : '-' . - - ! -Tokio, Nov.23.t-A telegram from V- e headquarters of the Japanese third -firmy; besieging Port Arthar, Bays: - "On Monday night, Novem bsr 21, the enemy made a -counter attack on onr force in front of -the the North fort of the eastern group of forts on Kekwan Mountain The attack was repulsed. " - Portland, Nov. 23. Burglars got little In return for their labors last night, when they broke into the sub urban postoffiqe at Hillsdale, carted I a 500-pound safe a distance of 5oo ',, nhtained tools (mm tho Snnth. Pacific EectioD house, blew the safe open and secured 50 cents in coppers and old coins. There is no clue to the robbers except that tracks of a No. 7 and a No. 9. shoe were- left in the soft earth about the' spot wheie; the wrecked safe was left.' Before mak ing their escape the cracksmen took five boxes of cheap cigars, Washington, D. CT., Nov. 21. Ever since the inception . of gov ernment work looking toward the reclamation of the arid lands by means of irrigation, numerous bands of swindlers have been busi ly engaged in victimizing home seekers who are interested in the various reclamation projects under taken by the government. The recent activity of these "loca tors" in Oregon and the fact that they are meeting in a certain de gree "with ' success, is a source of great surprise in view of the - num erous warnings issued by Federal officials. It should be clearly un derstood that oaly a relative small portion of the area ultimately to be irrigated under the Malheur project is unpatented, and that it is not possible that any of the land under the project can be watered inside of two years, so that any homesteader filing on land now will find it very cimculi to comply with the home stead law. " Any such entry on which the terms oi , the law are not fully complied with will be almost certain to be successfully contested by other settlers when the proper time arrives to take up the land. It has been called to the atten tion of the Department that for a consideration of - from $50 to $100 these "locators'-' guarantee to place settlers upon the - best irrigable lands under the irrigation works, while the fact is that the govern ment engineers themselves do' not have the final approval of the loca tion of the canal lines, and the stakes marking the lines run for estimates will be no indication of the line upon which construction will finally occur. Settlers who make filings based on the information received from these swindlers will not lose the money paid out, but are liable la ter to find the lands are not includ ed in the Government's proposed system. When the proper time comes for throwing open to entry the lands under the Malheur or any other of the great irrigation works, the Secretary of the Interior will give due notice through the public press. Until such announcement it will not be safe for settlers to lo cate upon these lands. New York,. Nov. 23. The most expensive single garment yet worn to an opera is Mrs. Adolph Lewis- eohn's. 28,000 sable coat. Some who saw the $28,000 coat affirmed that is is the moat expensive single garment in the world. This, how ever, furriers say, is hot strictly true. One leading tradesman said to day that he was engaged in a trans action for a $3l,ooo coat. He said his customer had not been willing to go abova $27,000, but that it was impossible for her with the coat she wanted, exclusive of the work in making, for less than $31, 000 Mrs. Lewisohn refuses to have anything to say regarding the garment. She is the , wife of banker. ' When Mr. Whitney began his work at the fair a month ago, he fonnd the ground everywhere hon eycombed with the borings of the moles. He has already u;ed et least a thousand cartridges, and will probably have to use as many more, but when he has completed his work there will not be a mole hill on the Exposition grounds.
