Russians Lost 150 000 Men at
Least—Big Capture Saturday.
Bv delay in pressing his pursuit of
Russia's defeated and demoralized army
to Tie Pass, Field Marshal Ovama has
afforded General Kuropatkin time to
sort out his disorganized units and re­
store his forces to at least a semblance
of order. So far as known, there is no
considerable force of Japanese nearer
Tie Pass than 69 miles, but iu Russian
quarters» there is a feeling of apprehen­
sion that some turning movement of
which there is no definite information is
in progress.
From Japanese sources it is reported
that many straggling parties of Russians
cut off from their commands in the re-
treat from Mukden, arc surrendering
upon the appearance of Japanese troops.
The council of war summoned by Em
peror is reported to have decided that
the war must lie carried farward. The
all-important question of financial means
however, is said to have reached no
solution, the situation being complicated
by the reported decision of French cap
italists not to negotiate the loan recent­
ly offered by St. Petersburg.
The probability as regarded in St.
Petersburg seems to he that as soon as
General Kuropatkin has completed the |
task of reorganizing what is left of /the 1
army, he will be permitted to return,
and that the command in Manchuria will '
be entrusted to General Sukhomotoff, ;
whose war apprenticeship was served '
under General Dragomiroff, who has
been regarded as the foremost of Rus
sian scientific soldiers. It is possible,
however, that the command will go to
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch.

tude of the disaster suffered by the Rus­
sian armies. Tonight 25,ODO dead are
known to have been left on the field,
making the casuallies at least 100,000.
Between 50,000 and 60,000 prisoners,
some 70 guns and enormous quantities
of ammunition and provisions fell into
hands of the Japanese
The Japanese losses do not exceed
those of former great battles, even
Kuroki's army losing only 5000.
Field Marshal Oyama's plans com­
pletely deceived General Kuropatkin.
The Russian commander misjudged the
positions and strength of the Japanese.
He at first thought that General Nogi's
Port Arthur armv was pressing his east
flank and concentrated a great force
there. This force he was afterwards
obliged to shift to Mukden, where it
arrived in a state of exhaustion after a
forced march, and was unable to fight
The retreat from Mukden began March
9. It became a demoralised flight when
the Russians discovered that their egress
was being blocked by Japanese infantry
and artillery from the Bait. The rapid
approach of the Japanese was a com­
plete surprise to the Russians, who ex-
petted that their retreat would be
harassed only by Japanese cavalry from
the westward.

division of Japanese encountered several .

serves criticise General Kuropatkin’s
generalship severely.
Field Marshal Oyama’s original plan
seems to have been to hold the Russians
along the Shakhe and work around them
with both wings, but the Japanese right
was fought to a standstill. The Russian
retreat from theShakhe, rapidly pursued,
gave the Japanese an opening t J cut the
Russian middle, surround Mukden and
isolate the Russian left.
One thousand prisoners are lieing
marched to Liao Yang for shipment to
Japan. They are a mixed lot. including
Poles, Mongo's, Buriats and Kigliis.
Their clothing and equipment is much
inferior to that of the Japanese. The
Siberians who fought in the early months
of the war were the finest men that
Russia has had.
The Russians are voluntarily sur-
rendering, making an object s|>ectaclp.
The Japanese are treating them most
kindly.
__
Convinced that Russia and Japan will
both soon succumb to the enormous
financial strain placed upon them by the
war, a diplomat representing one of the
neutral powers most interested in the
final issue, has, within the last two days,
sent a confidential message to his
government warning it to be on the
lookout for a secret agreement to he
negotiated between Russia and Japan
direct regarding the preliminaries for a
settlement of their difficulties. What it
was that prompted the sending of this
message cannot be learned, but its
author is an official at all times ex­
ceptionally well informed on affairs of
state and diplomatic corps. His belief
that peace negotiations, when they
begin will be conducted between St.
Petersburg and Tokio direct, finds con­
siderable credence.
Indeed, another
diplomat expressed the opinion that the
field of battle would be the scene of the
first negotiations between the belliger­
ents looking to peace. However secret
the negotiations, it is declared that the
United States, Great Britain, Germany
and France are keenly on the alert for
such a development, and would promptly
demand the terms of the agreement for
their inspection. It is learned that the
Chinese government is prepared, when
the hour of peace comes, to call the
attention of the powers to the re­
peated assurances which, at the invita­
tion of the United States, each has given
their faithful adherence of the Hay
principles, that “ (’Ilina’s administrative
entity iniist be maintained ”

Probably not less than 2,000,000 arti­
ficial teeth are manuafetured in this
country each year, and still the out­

great care manifested for teeth as has

years. In this respect Americans lead

French excelling the people of the
United States in their solicitude for
the preservation of natural teeth and
in their application of the arts of den­
tal science when substitutes have to
be provided for nature’s molars.
Englishmen are notoriously care­
less about their teeth, although in late
years great progrès« has been made
in this matter.
A prominent dentist of New- York
declares that nearly every patient
with a mouthful of decayed teeth is a
foreigner. “They let things drift.” he
says, "and come only when pain drives
them here. Americans, and especial­
ly southerners, hasten to their dentist
immediately they defect even the
slightest signs of coming trouble, and
the result is that there are by far
more “saved” teeth in this country
than in any other. Englishmen and
Irishmen are remarkably apathetic
about their molar«, and will go about
for years with hopelessly decayed
teeth.”

ties being able to speak or read the

here. In 1B93 Nels Nelson and Miss
Jennie Pearson, both of whom were
residents of Columbia county, decided to
wed. Accordingly, November 4 of that
year, they came to Astoria, where Nels
enlisted the aid of his friend, John Nelson,
and the two proceeded to the County
Clerk’s office to procure the necessary
license.
Being long on Scandinavian and short
on English, they succeeded in getting
their names mixed, and obtained a mar­

signed the records as the witness. Re­
turning to the Central Hotel, Nels Nelson
and Miss Pearson went through the
ceremony of being wedded by Justice of

they have been living as man and wife
in Portland, but the certificate issued to
them and the records in the County

As a result of this mix-up, Nels Nelson

John Nelson has been married for several
