London, Sept. 8.—The Central News has a dispatch from St. Petersburg which says thai, it is- rumored at Mukden that General Kuroki, the oom" mander-in-chief of the Japanese laud forces, has been killed. An officer of the general staff said last night: Several of the mob were fatally wounded, but owing to the intense excitement it is ynpossible to learn full details. "I believe it is safe to say that General Kuropatkin's army is now out of danger. Our advices since Monday indicate that the fighting is of an insignificant character, and I do not believe that the tired Japanese troops are capable of seriously threatening the line of retreat. The greatest difficulty our army is now having to contend with is the terrible roads owing to the rain of Monday and Tuesday. Tlie first maneuver problem closed with General Grunt's force pushed through the left wing of General Bell. This put the blue force within two miles Cif Thoroughfare gap, the objective point. However, General Bell had Smith's brigade on the right and Hurry's brigade on the left of this breach In his line, and Colonei Wagner, thief umpire, draws no. conclusion as to what might happen had not hostilities ceased under the command previously Issued by General Corbln to cease hostilities so that the tired troops might be given relief.

The returns from 221 towns show that the senate will bo solidly Republican, where last year there were five Democrats. St. Petersburg, Sept. 8.—A brief dispatch from General Kuropatkin, dated 0:30 yesterday evening, eLait.es that he was about 27 miles east of the railway, while General Oku was about 20 miles west of the line.

James McKay, a boy, who was driving the hay A'agon, had his collar bone broken. "Our information is that the bulk of the baggage has already passed through Mukden. This is the usual procedure in the case of any retreat."

The fighting. lie says, is continuous PEOPLE'S STORE, St. Petersburg, Sept. 8.—No official information has been received, or if it has been received, it has not been made public, regarding t'/j position of the Russian troops about Mukden. Unofficial reports are plentiful, but they cannot be confirmed. Paris, Sept. 8.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Palis says: "A great battle is going on before Mukden. The First and Seventeenth corps are engaged against General Kuroki. Genera! Kuropatkin, with theNnilk of his troops, is moving toward Tieling." A Great Battle On Story of the Maneuver. The demonstration by the mob was entirely unexpected by the authorities, who had only time to rush a few tried men to the jail just before the crowd rushed the sentries and disarmed them. ALWAYS TIIE CHEAPEST. This attack on the part of the blue force was made by General Wiut with Brice's brigade, consisting of the Seventh Virginia, the First Maine, the First Alabama and the Sixteenth infantry.

This line, the Antioch road, was within two miles of the western limit of the maneuver zone and extended the live miles of the width of the zone. While General Bell was falling back to the new lino from the Carolina road, which had been the scene of conflict the day before. General Grant occupied the hours between midnight and daylight in concentrating his forces for an attack on the browu left. He withdrew (till of his cavalry from the southern portion of his Hue, their position on the first day, and threw two full brigades and sixteen guns to the point indicated.

General Kuroki's left wing is believed to be not less than 25,000 strong, and its ability to drive tiie Russians west by south will materially assist the southern Japanese division in surrounding this division of the Russian army. It is regarded as certain that Kuropatkin will give battle somewhere south of Theiling unless he should abandon all his stores at Mukden and by entraining ids soldiers get most of them north. To do this lie will probably have to sacrifice his rear guard, which will not be able to arrive at Mukden in advance of a superior division of Japanese soldiers. Murder Instead of Money.

An officer of the general staff said last night: Several of the mob were fatally wounded, but owing to the intense excitement it is ynpossible to learn full details. "I believe it is safe to say that General Kuropatkin's army is now out of danger. Our advices since Monday indicate that the fighting is of an insignificant character, and I do not believe that the tired Japanese troops are capable of seriously threatening the line of retreat. The greatest difficulty our army is now having to contend with is the terrible roads owing to the rain of Monday and Tuesday.

It is regarded as certain that Kuropatkin will give battle somewhere south of Theiling unless he should abandon all his stores at Mukden and by entraining ids soldiers get most of them north. To do this lie will probably have to sacrifice his rear guard, which will not be able to arrive at Mukden in advance of a superior division of Japanese soldiers. Murder Instead of Money.
