After an Advance of Hla Entire Army oC Over Two \Hundred Thousand Men the Russian Commander is Worsted — His Troops Were Scattered and Demoral- ized— Jnpa Take Thirty Cannon. Tokio, Japan. — General Kuropatkin has been decisively w.hipped and se- verely punished, according to all re- ports from the front and his entire acmy began retiring along its whole liue. Though it was too eariy to fully meas- ure the results of the tremendous struggle which has been in progress some days,and still it is evident that the Russian Commander-in-Chief was caught with his forces scattered and beaten before he could recover. The latest telegrams from the field report uninterrupted success for the Japanese arms. More troops are engaged on each Ride than in any previous battle, and the fighting at some points has sur- passed In desperation anything seen since the war began. The Japanese commanders in making their reports express admiration of Russian valor. The losses in men are not .c/ven hinted at, but they must be very great. Major-General Murui is among the Japanese wounded and one Japanese colonel is known to have beeqjkllled. General Oku has captured twenty- five Russian guns, making a total of about thirty Russian guns which have fallen into the hands of the Japan- ese. A single section of General Nidzu's army took 150 prisoners. The Japanese began a desperate ef- fort to turn the Russian right, and if It should succeed it would carry disas- ter to the Russian arms. The struggle around Benslhu is be- ing followed with intense interest here. The Russian force there is estimated at five thousand, and its isolation or loss would lie a severe blow to Kuro- patkin. London, Eng.—The Standard's cor- respondent in the field with General Kuroki says: \After two days' heavy fighting, the enemy's resistance was broken, and the Russians are now in full retreat\ •mounted by a picturesque temple, the •correspondent says: \At times it was a hand-to-hand conflict. The Russians fought bard and desperately, but were no match for the Japanese infantry. On the other hand, we suffered at a disad- vantage. Onr guns were out of range, and were reduced to silence for the greater part of the day. A timely mist enabled the Japanese to draw near, comparatively without damage, to the hills of the Russian position, and from which they were forced to withdraw. The retirement was very leisurely, and the guns in particular remained on the ground longer than seemed safe.'' The Daily Mail's Tokio eorrespond- ' ent asserts that the pursuit by the Japanese is working great liavoc to the dispirited Russians, who left their dead and wounded on the field. The Russian forces are estimated at two hundred thousand, with one thousand guns, and the correspondent says that the fighting was the most severe and •terrible of the whole war. RUSSIA LOSES THOUSANDS May Prove to Be the World's Greatest Battle. DIED FROM OVER-EATING Man of Dubuque, la., Ate Eighty- five Pounds of Meat. CZAR'S CASUALTIES ABOUT 30.000 ! Chatham, Mass. — Driven down the coast by a northeast storm, the Nova Scotian schooner Wentworth was thrown upon Chatham Bar and smashed to pieces in the terrific surf. It is believed that not a soul on board survived. At 7 o'clock in the morning the body of a woman was dragged out of the breakers by the Government life savers who had been waiting on the beach powerless to aid since the ves- sel went on to the bar. At S o'clock another body, that of a man, vvas re- covered. It is believed that in addition to the unfortunate woman the ill fated ves- sel carried a crew of at least eight men, besides her skipper, Captain Freddie. The Wentworth was a three masled schooner owned in Windsor, N. S., and was bound from Hillsboro, N. B., to New York City, with a load of plas- ter. It was just before dark that the schooner was seen by the keeper of the Nauset Lights flying south, be- fore the gale, with her foresail set. She was about three miles off shore at the ume, and it was believed that she would be able to find the entrance of Pollock Rip Slue and thread her way through the narrow channel into safety behind the Handkerchief shoal. But at 8 o'clock the South Patrol of the Old Harbor Life Saving Station, ten miles south below Nauset. suddenly discovered the schooner on the outer bar, lead on to the beach. Within half an hour Captain Doane had mus- tered his crew opposite the wreck and a line from the gun was fired. As the little line tightened after be- ing sent toward the wreck i t was be- lieved, that the crew had caught it and would soon pull aboard the big haw- ser and reach shore in the breeches buoy. There came no sign from the vessel, however, although lights were shining in the cabin. Several of the surfmen went down as near the breakers as possible and hailed the schooner through mega- phones, but there was no answer. Others burned signal torches. In the meantime Captain Doane'a crew bad been reinforced by Captain Charles and Ms crew from the Or- TBUIO a..uu.Xu,~.<uiiZ -several f-anas -lmes-paorta- were shot out to the vessel, all of | the general belief is that this is oulv Torrents Swelled the Streams and Pre- vented the Ketrent of the Armie?—The Japanese Sustained But Small .Losses in Comparison—Many Guns Are Cap- tured hy, Brown Ken. Tokio, Japan.—-There is a strong ap- peal for peace in the appalling tragedy which has been under enactment in Manchuria. Both armies had been fighting around Shakhe ferociously for a week, and the desperate fighting still continued. It is probable that the death roll will be largely increased be- fore the final shot is fired. The preliminary reports indicate that in this battle about 60,000 men of both sides nave been either killed or wounded, the larger portion of them being Russians. Field Marshal Oyama estimates the Russian dead left on the field, includ- ing those killed in the latest fighting, at over 10,000. Detailed reports re- ceived here show that this estimate will probably be exceeded. It is reckoned, applying the usual calculation as to the ratio of killed to wounded, that the Russian casualties exceed 40,000. The Right Army (Kuroki's) alone has buried 4500 Russians. A dispatch from the Japanese field headquarters says: \The losses sustained by the army opposing our Right Army so far as as- certained are as follows: \Bodies left near Pensihu on the left bank of the Tai-Tse River, 350; in front of our Pensihu detachment, 1500; at Talien, 300: near Tumentsu, 300; be- fore the right column, 200; near Kiou- inkok and north of Tumentsu, 1200: near Chienlao, 300; north of Panlassan and near Wumingsu, 150; before the left column near Shaotakou and north- ward, 200: total, 4600. \The number left in other places has not been counted yet, but it is large. \The enemy's loss in this direction must exceed 20,000. Among the tro- phies reported captured are 200 shells, six ammunition wagons and much un- counted munition.\ The total of the Russian dead left in front of the Centre Army (Nodzu'sj is estimated at 2500.

Tokio, Japan.—The British steamer Fu Ping was captured by the Japanese -off Port Arthur. Admiral Hosoya, commanding the third squadrbu of the Japanese fleet, reports that a wireless telegram has been received from the guardship Otowa stating that the Fu Ping was captured by the destroyer Shlrataka. The Fu Ping, which was carrying a great quantity of munitions of war, was attempting to violate the blockade Of Port Arthur. which either fell short, or, if reach- ing the vessel, were useless in the helpless hands of the exhausted crew Then the life savers settled down tc a night's vigil on the beach, trusting that the vessel would hold togetbei until morning, when, it was hoped, the lifeboat could be launched. As daylight came it was seen tbat two of the masts, the main and the mizzen, had fallen by the washing away of the stern of the vessel. Then it was that the life savers gave up all hope of rescuing any of the crew. The name was ascertained from her quarterboard and part of the stern, which came ashore the desperate finale of one of the great- est military dramas of history, and that the Russian army as a whole was re- tiring toward Mukden, having suffered at the most conservative estimate a loss of over 30,000. The weather conditions were even worse than during the retreat from Liaoyang. Streams were bank high and fords were impassable, but it was Impossible to say how this would affect the final situation. Fragmentary reports of the Japanese :asnalties are coming in. General Oku lost 3500 men. Estimates of the total Japanese tosses were not possible, but they were Dubuque, la.—His stomach distended to three times its uormui size after he had eaten eighty-five pounds of raw beef, \Phil\ Melloy, who posed as the world's champion enter, died in terrible ngony here. He was found dead on :the floor of his bedroom by his wife, with his hand on his stomach, and his face distorted as if intense suffering had preceded death. An autopsy was performed by six doctors, and they found the walls of the stomach literal- ly permeated by the juices of the meat. Melloy issued a challenge to any man in the world to eat against him for a wager of $500. He was intensely proud of his gastronomic feats, and it was the taunting of a dozen youths that drove him to death. Melloy met the youths in a resort in the heart of the city. Talk turned to his wonderful performances in eating, and Melloy boasted he could eat eighty-five pounds of beef in twenty hours. One of the young men in the part}' then ofi'ered t o bet Melloy $100 that he could not eat the amount. Melloy hesitated in ac- cepting the bet, and was laughed at for a \quitter.\ He was culled \fakir\ and \four-flusher and was told that any one in the party could equal him at eating when at his best. Unable to bear the derision, Melloy finally said he would make the bet. The money was staked, and fresh beef was obtained from a paelring house. Two doctors pronounced it of excellent quality, and Melloy was locked with it in a room. A guard was placed over the room, and at the end. of nineteen hours Melloy knocked to be released. The door was opened, and only a few small bones were,found in the room. Ordinarily Melloy was trim in figure, but he came out of the room bloated. So elated was he with his prodigious capacity that he went to a restaurant and ate three large cans of salmon and four apple pies. Melloy was hardly able to walk liome. He gave his wife the $100 he had won and then staggered to his room. Four hours Jater Mrs. Melloy found his body growing cold. He had apparently slipped from bed to the floor. His head was slightly lower than his body, and some of the beef which had got into his throat prevent- ed him .from making -aa outcry. A short while ago Melloy ate ISO raw eggs in twenty minutes and wound up by devouring five large porterhouse steaks in quick succession. At his reg- ular meals he ate sparingly, but when he set himself down for a contest he seemingly could consume an unlimited quantity of food. Some weeks ago Melloy went into a restaurant and or- dered all the steaks, chops, chickens, fish, oysters and vegetables in the place to be prepared and set before him. He cleared the restaurant of everything eatable, and then said he wished he had something more to eat. M>Ilny's stomach stretched like a tiny ballojn, and he had a special suit of clothes to wear at his eating contests. STEAM SINKS II STOi fhe Call Goes Down in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. HAD PASSENGERS 0.N BOARD NEW YORK STATE NEWS Was a Kegalnr Vaolcet Boat Plying Be- tween Sew Brunswick, X. S., and Prince Edward Island-All of Those lost Were Men—Ship Was Built a Tear Ago at Chatham, K. B. Halifax, N.S.—News reached here of the wreck of the little steamer Call of New London, Prince Edward Inl- and, during a gale, with the loss, it is believed, of all on board, some nine- teen souls, of whom fourteen were j Iceland. A unique fund, is created,. passengers, all men. Among those on the steamer was the son of John Fa- gar, of New York City, one of the prin- cipal owners. The Call was a new vessel, and had been engaged, during the last six months in plying between New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island, ports on a regular packet service. The steamer was bound from Tracadie. far up in Northern New Brunswick, to New London, on the northern coast of Prince Edward Island. It had been the custom of the CaK to stop at nu- merous little fishing ports on her way down the coast, and it is thought that her passengers were nearly all fisher- men. The storm raged with great severity in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, blowing directly on the northern shore of Prince Edward Island. The harbor of New London is a difficult one to enter, and while the ir-eports of the wreck were meagre,-it was believed that the little vessel WAS caught in the gulf by the storm, and was either carried on the ledges at the entrance of the har- bor or foundered a short distance off the shore. The Call was owned principally in Chatham, N. B., and was built within a year. She was about 300 tons bur- den. Fiske Gift For Cornell. Filing of the will of Daniel Williard Fiske settled that after twenty-three years Cornell University, at Ithaca, will receive the greater part of the gift made to it in 1881, but which wa* wrested from it at that time. Mr. Fiske, who died in Florence, Italy, on September 18 last, left almost a million dollars.to be devoted to the uses of the university library, which he, as li- brarian, practically had established. That money, with the $300,000 already- received from Professor I*ske for the same purpose, will make the Cornell library tire best endowed library in any college, if not in the world. In his will,' just filed, Mr. Fiske provides suitably for his kin and persons in his service. To Cornell University he leaves his su- perb collection of Icelandic and old Scandinavian, literature and history and all his books relating to the Italian poet Petrarch. All Ms other books go to the National Library of Reykjavik, to be held by the Governor General of Iceland as a trust. The income is to be expended annually in ameliorating the condition of families on the tiny isl- and of Grimsey, oil the north coast of Iceland. The beautiful villa Mr. Fiske owned in Florence, which was built i n the days of Boccaccio, and which re- cently has been occupied by Walter Savage Landor, is to be sold and the proceeds are to go to the residue of the estate, which is to be turned over to j the Cornell library. The paintings and • antiques in the villa will be sent to ! the public gallery in Reykjavik. The { executors are Ira A..

Fireman Learns Truth in Time to Avert Head-On Collision. MeCook, Neb.—James O'Connell. an engineer of the Burlington road, was stricken dead from heart disea.se at his throttle some time after the train his locomotive was hauling had left here on its run to St. Louis, 51o. The train was running at fifty miles an hour when, the liremau chanced to glance sit the engineer. He saw a pallor had overspread his face and his body was rigid. He touched, the engineer and was shocked to find he was dead. The fireman backed the trail\ into MeCook, and when another engineer was supplied it went on to St. Louis. If the fireman hud not discovered the engineer's death whew lie did his train doubtless would have met in collision with a train coming in the opposite di- rection and many lives would have been lost Made a Big Haul on a Pullman—Ar- rested With Stolen Property.

The TObuery was the work or James C. Rumsiy. a notorious young Chicago crook, who was arrested here. Rumsey crawled through a window of the Pullman while the train was standing at the station, and when it was well on its way he chloroformed the porter in charge of the car. aud used the drug -with success upon the occupants of several berths. Rumsey worked deliberately, ripping open valises and searching flu* pockets of the travelers. He took everything he could find, making a big haul of watches, chains, jewelry and quite a quantity of cash. ing in depth from fifteen to thirty-five feet. It is proposed to test the supply until practically the whole village is satisfied. If it is deemed .advisable the thiily acres will be purchased for $900. This present test, is the out- growth of an extensive investigation by Mr. Robolus and the Committee of Municipal Ownership of Water Works Plants, they having, visited nearly all. the towns in Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania, and submitted an exhaustive report of each place. They all became thoroughly convinced that municipal ownership of the water- works plan was by all means the proper tiling. TEN INJURED IN WRECK. Professor Jenks Back to Cornell.
