In short, the general opinion Is that in the face of financial and other difficulties an attempt to continue the war would be almost madness. The latest dispatches seem to indicate that the Russian Baltic fleet Is still waiting at Madagascar.

While General Kimqialkin lias apparently succeeded in Having wore of his artillery than seemed possible, his losses in men, immuiiil ion ajnB eommlSHural supplies in the battle of MuKden ore far greater than earlier reports Indicated, mil even that iHirtlun of his army which he succeeded in extricating from the jiositions around Mukden Is still In serious danger. The Japanese general, realising that with a little mors speed they could have Inflicted a crushing defeat on the Russian army after the lmttle of Lino Yang, determined not to allow again on opportunity to pass and are fallowing offer the defeated and sorely-trie- d Russian forces. While a small portion of army has reached Tie pas, the greater part of those who escaped from the battle of Mukden are still struggling onward, being at last between 12 and 16 miles from their goal, with the Jnpunese, flushed with victory and reinforced by fresh men, harassing them from all sides. Even should the remnant of the army reach Tie pass, it Is hardly possible for It to make a stand there against the overwhelming fores opposing It, and estieclally as the Russians must be worn out and weakened by the loss of men, guns and ammunition. It Is more likely that Kuropatkln will full right buck to Hariris with what he can save, and wait there for the reinforcements that St. Petersburg has already promised him. A possible obstacle to the plan Is General army, which has not yet been located, and which may also he heading far the northern capital. General Kuropatkln admits that officers and 46,981 men are not reThis U rather sponding to recalls. vague.

Including the dead found by the Japanese. The Russian losses, therefore, total more than 100,006 men, of the whole rtr more than one-thi00 rd army. The fact that the Japanese report the capture of only sixty guns Indicates that General Kunqiatkln at the Inst moment succeeded in sending a considerable portion of his artillery northward on the railway. The Japanese losses reported as 41.222, not including the army which pushed north between Mukden and Fushun. official Russia M determined to carry on the war and St. Peterbsurg reports that orders have been Issued for the mobollxltation of more troop. This may prove a difficult task with the temper of the Russian people In its present condition. There Is little hope ln St. Petersburg that Russia can exhaust Jaian financially, and far months there hHS been talk of the moboll ration of an army on the Stlierlan border whlrh would compel Japan to keep her vast army in Manchuria.
