DEMORALIZED MOB Retreat of Russian Army Turned Into a Rout. SUPPLIES AND GUNS GIVEN UP Rough Estimates Make Total Lossos Over 100,000 Men Japanese Follow Up Advantage. Tokio, March 0. Delealcd nil along the line, with thousands of men killed ntul wounded, hl8 army turned Into a demoralized mob o( men who no longer obey tlio orders of their otliccrs, an enormous percentage of his munitions of war and artillery lost to him, having been abandoned to the victorious Jap anese or destroyed to prevent falling into their hand, Geuetal Kuropatkin Is at last reports making frantic efforts to save something from the wreck nnd is w ithdiaw Ing nil of his reserves north want to a point where ho can reason ably liojx? to reorganize his defeated army. In the meantime, the Japanese soldiers on the right, left und center arc pressing in on tho fleeing Russians and will make an attempt to com pletely annihilate the soldiers of the czar. The result of the fortnight's fighting south of Mukden is the worst disaster to the Russian arms of tho whole war. Even tho bold cossacks who, in other days liavo repeatedly proved their valor on bloody tlclds, have, been com pelled to give way and run lefore tliu steady, relentless pressure of the troops of tho mikado, who, scorning death in everj' form, havo continued battering away at the ltussian entrenchments and piercing them one by one. JOINT LOSS OVER 100.000 MEN. Battle Bloodiest of War Raltrod Is Cut North of Mukden. Tokio, March 9. rho great battlo in Manchuria raged all day yesterday along tho entire and enormous front. Tho Japanese were generally victorious, and they drove tho llussians from a series of important positions. By nightfall it seemed imperative that General Kuropatkin would havo tn withdraw his shattered legions to avoid a complete disaster. Indeed, it ap peared impossibllo for him to effect a retcat without heavy losses of prisones, guns and stores. The continuous battle is already tho bloodiest of the war. Upon the ground that General Oku alone gained are 8,000 Russian dead. Tho reports from othor armies aro expected to triple this figure. It is estimated that tho Jap anese havo lost 50,000, making the joint slaughter thus far exceed 100,000 men. Details of the combat are lacking, but it la believed that the Japanese have cut the railway north of Mukden, leaving only the roadways and light railway from Fushun to Tio pass as avenues for tho retreat of tho Russians, but army headquarters refrain from affirming or denying a report to that effect. It is thought that Mukden is still in tho hands of the Russians. TRAINS RUNNING AGAIN. Traffic Resumed on the New York Rapid Transit Lines. New York, March 9. A very decided improvement In the condition of traffic in the subway and on the elevated roads marked tho second day of the strike, of the employes of the Inter borough company.

Officials of the Interborough company expressed confidence that they had the situation well in hand and that a few days would see a full resumption of service on all lines. This was positively denied by Presi dent Pepper, of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Street Railway employes. Bloody Measures Urged. St. Petersburg, March 9. A sensa tion was caused today by a leading edi torial in tho Moscow Gazette, tho tra ditional spokesman of autocracy, de claring that tho present revolt in the Interior should bo put down immediate ly in the fashion which Mlcael Mura vfeffl crushed tho Polish and Lituaniun rebellion in 1803. "It would bo a sad sacrifice of Hie," says tho Gazette, "nut a hundred times loss now than if tho revolt wero allowed to continuo until it becamo absolutely necessary to take decisive stops.'"

President Roooeovclt took tho oath of ollleu lieforu a vast gathering of tlio people he has been elected to serve. The attendant scenes wero not unusual. Inaugura tions from the time tlio east front of the capitol first liccamu tlio setting for tlio ceremony havo been much the same. Many of the cent nil figures have olliciated In like capacity on other occasions when presidents havo acceded to tho highest otllco in tho gift of the American people. Chief Justice 1 ill lor, in administering tlio oath, rem-atcd a solemn (unction he has performed (our times Unlay his last. Yet, with all this repetition, nothing was jaded and everything appeared new. The olllclal entrance was dramatic. All except thosu who participated In tho ceremony were seated, When tho justices of thu supreme court, with the exceptou of Chief Justice rimer. emerged from between thu Corinthian pillars nnd marched down the sloping carpeted aisle to their stations, they wero greeted with applause. The jus tices wore their robes and skull CIIH. Then canto the members of the diplo matic corps in their gorgeous uniforms, ami they evoked thunderous applause. Throughout this scene thu demeanor of the multitude was that of Interested exH-ctaucy. Tho enticing prostcct of seeing tho gorgeous and stately pageants In review dctratcd tn no manner from the keen interest in the less brilliant program in immediate pros-ect. The attraction rcstionslblo for the assembly of so vast a throng was demonstrated by tho tremendous burst of applause which heralded the president's approach. President Roosevelt came forth from K'twecn the massive pillars quietly and composedly. Ite was escorted by Chief Justice Fuller. With measured tread in harmony with tho dignified step of tho chief justice the president advanced in state down tho long aisle of distin guished guests. II v this time all were standing, and uoth'ng could lie heard above tlio roar of thunderous welcome. As the president passed down thu aisle he bared his head, and with character istic sweep of his hat txwcd In acknow ledgment of the salutations from tho stand and tho ovation from thu icoplo.

When this had been conclud ed there was practically no demonstra tion, and tho president lcgan his in- augurala ddrcss. As soon as ho finish ed speaking he re-entered the capitol, and as ho disappeared within the build ing a signal was flashed to the navy yanl, ami tlio roar of 21 guns was be gun in ollicial salute to the president.

St. Petersburg, March H. That tlio hattlu of Mukden will go down In his tory with l.lao Yang In thu lung list of Russian dufcata is thu almost universal belief in pessimistic St. Petersburg, which has forgotten thu meaning of thu word "victory." The war olllco does not admit that thu Issues of thu great hattlu which already exceeds In magni tude of operations and losses that of Shiikhe, has been decided, although It Is positively stated In high quarters that Kuropatkin has telegruphtd to Kmporor Nicholas that It will bo iin jHwslblo to huld .Mukden and that thu withdrawal ot thu army northward has already been begun. At thu military headquarters here General Kuropatkin is regarded as beaten. Those who believe there Is still a chamu of actual Russian victory are few and far between. Tint majority regard the fighting yesterday as In re ality a rearguard action, entertaining no doubt that there will ho a heavy withdrawal (luring thu night. General Kuropatklua' critics among military men are Increasing In number, thu burden of complaint lining that In every action liu has shown lack of Ini tiative. With defeat now, whether disastrous or otherwise, they declare his star will set. On thu oilier hand, it is Itolicvcd that Field Marshal Oya ma's daring strategy, If successful In this battle, will entitle him to lunk as one of thu greatest captains of the age. Saves FOREST FOR PEOPLE. Exclusion of Timber Land From Lieu Selections. Washington, March 8. Two and one half million acres of Umber land will 1k saved to the government by thu operation of a short act to which Presi dent Roosevelt ulllxcd his signature during thu lust moments of thu 58th coigrcss. The act prohibits the selec tion of timlier lauds in exchange for laud which have been included within of rest reserves. It was in 1897 that the "lieu law" was enacted. It had no restrictions, simply entitling persons holding lauds In forest reseives to make select. ous elsewhere In exchaugu for their forest reserve lauds. In 1900 these lieu selections were limited to surveyed lauds. Since thu passage o( these acts, nearly 2,000,000 acres ol forest reserve lands have la-en exchang ed for other lands, and almont univer sally lias the exchange been made for tlmlicrcd lands outside of forest re serves. Nearly half of th s land so ex changed Is owned by the land grant railroads. A report to congress from thu com missioner of the general laud olllce places the amount of lands still held by these roads In forest reserves at 2,500, 000 acres, and thu provision in thu uct in question, that hereafter lieu selec tions must lie made from untlmlM'rcd lands, is calculated to savo just that much tlmlicrcd land which is outside of forest reserves. GOTHAM TIED UP. Strike on New York Street Railways Blocks Business. New York, March 8. With one col lision In which 29 itersous were In jured, New York has passed through the first day of thu general strike on lis rapid transit systems. Reside this ac cident and somu minor casualties due to the abnormal conditions, the sum total of the day was aunoyancu and vexation to a million or more people usually de pendent iiKin the Interlsirough's linos for transportation to and from business. So far thuru has been little disorder. HiKirudic encounters between individ uals, somu Inii language and the action of a few hoodlums in throwing missies at passing elevated trains tell this phase of thu strike. The annoyance to thu multitude was iucrcascd.hy a wet snow, which began falling this after noon. Service on tho elevated roads and thu subway, while not tied up, was crippled badly. Trains wero run on irregular schedules in thu underground, begin ning with the early morning, but thu elevated did not faru so well. On thu Hast sldu practically no attempt was made to Institute service, while the Sixth and Ninth avenuu linos, which servo thu West sldu. wore run In a fash ion woefully Inadequiitu. In fact, thu elevated system of thu Interborough's lines was pretty well paralyzed. Turn Light on Beef Trust. Topuka, Kan., March 8.

I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST WATER PUTJPON ARID LAND. Throo Slitors Company Applies for a Patent Only Settlors Can Buy. Salem The Three Sisters Irrigation company, which has u contract for thu reclamation of 27,000 acres of arid land In thu Dcsohules country, reports that water has been placed on 11,000 acres, III addition to the 1:1,000 already pat ented. Thu, statu laud hoard directed thu engineer to examine thu land, and if found as reported, to apply for a pat ent from thu United Slates. An Important question hits been raised regarding thu qualifications of applicants for arid land that has been reclaimed under thu Carey act. Thu Federal law, which grants this land to the state, specifies that it is to be sold (o actual settlers at thu cost of re clamation. Recently thu statu land hoard addressed a letter to the Federal land department, Inquiring whether sales of land will lie leslricU'd to those who have actually settled upon It. The answer received Is In thu alllrmative. This means that, although a man may apply for laud without taking up his residence viimmi it, he must make the preliminary showing that he In tends to Ik'Coiiiu a settler and before he can secure a deed hit must show that he has become a settler. In other words, the laud can ho sold only to thoso who will makii their homes upon It. TILLAMOOK RAISES SUBSIDY Citizens Now Want to See Promoter Simmons' Evidence of Faith.
