Newspaper's Account of Hi3 Slaughter Far Greater Than All the Surface Lines Are At dawn 011 March Ci began a fight ions to be remembered in the history of wars. It was of terrific grandeur and might be compared to a vast thunderstorm of lead, shrapnel and bullets pelting mercilessly a strip of laud twenty miles long and seven miles broad, mowing down victims by the thousands and. with the explosions of Shimose shells and the scythclikc work of six inch shells, razing whole villages. Through this inferno Japanese and Russians charged and counter charged by regiments. Though some of these have been pounded by batteries continuously for six days, they fought with amazing determination and firmness. Regiments were reduced to companies and companies to squads, but "these managed to unite and vied with fresh troops in the resolution with which they re-entered the fray. Work.

Mayor George B. McClellan. having reached the conclusion that transportation conditions have assumed such n serious aspect that it would be necessary to bring the two factions to some speedy agreement, addressed a leiter to both the Interborough company and the Amalgamated association 1o this end. In his letter he said: Wilkesbarre is now being visited by a man who seems to be stirring up that city to a marked degree. The individual is a gentleman known as The Great Cooper, who is reported to be worth several million dollars, made in the last few years. He has acquired this enormous fortune by the sale of some preparations said to be very remarkable. .Mukden, March 8.—Fighting of the fiercest nature, wldeh is likely to decide the fate of the battle which lias been New York. .Mnrili 8. — The g.e.it strike of the Interborough r:i!l\v;:y employees shows 110 signs of .1 sett lenient.

Va„ March 8.—This morning four persons were killed and ten hurt, four of them perhaps fatally. by the breaking of a cable at the .Shrewsbury mines, near Charleston, W. Va. Three cars In which miners were coming from work were sent like a shaft of lightning 1,600 feel down the Bide of the mountain. The track rises at an angle of 4 3 degrees and the miners were crushed amid the debris of the cars and the tipple at the foot of the mountain, which they struck with frightful force. in progress for ten days, "continues uninterruptedly up To the present time 011 a front fourteen miles long west of the railroad and 011 a line with the Bhaklic river. The Japanese also have made a desperate attack on Bentslaputsse, and reports are arriving here that lighting has been renewed on the extreme left of the Russian army. Both videVi are fighting with desperation to the westward, though the troops are well nigh exhausted. The issue of the battle may depend largely on the relative physical condition of the rank and file. The chief incident in the first day of the tie-up of-the city's main transportation lines was the subway collision at the Twenty-third street station, in which twenty-eight persons were severely injured and almost as many more less seriously hurt. Both 011 the "I." road and in the subway the officials used every precaution to pfttvent accidents by running trains about a mile apart. "Except where they had a few experienced men the headway was not less than eight minutes on the underground or overhead lines. The green mot 01111011 were, however, unable to maintain this schedule. Some fell behind, forcing other trains to slow up. and others went so fast that in some stations in the subway trains followed each other half a minute and a minute apart at times. That only one accident of a serious nature happened was pure good luck. Probably the most important development of the day was the statement of District Attorney Sullivan that Andrew Carnegie would not be called as a witness. In anticipation of the famous Scot being sworn a tremendous crowd gathered outside the trial building in the morning. The police reserves from three stations were almost overpowered in their efforts to maintain order. Women were in the majority in the throng, and four of tla'm were carried unconscious from the crush. The crowd in the courtroom was composed almost entirely of women, who.'faohion ably gowned, prevailed on the court attendants to give them precedence over hundreds of curious men and even a score of lawyers interested in the tech-» nical points of the case. "As mayor of the city, solicitous for the comfort of lis people and the protection of its business I beg to offer to you my services to act as mediator, arbitrator or in any capacity in which 1 may lie instrumental in effecting an adjustment of the existing differences bet ween the Interborough Itapld Transit company and its employees. so that tlie complete operation of their railroad may be resumed at Cooper Is not yet 30 years of age and seems to be very eccentric.

The losses in the ten days of battle on both sides are ulready far greater than were the casualties In the battle of Lhioyaug and are likely to increase as the days pass before the issue is fully decided. The losses already exceed those of the battle of Liaoyang on the Russian side, and the Japanese are supposed to have suffered much more, though ihis does not seem to shake the Japanese tenacity, l'or at noon they attacked. Impossible to Hold Mukden THE INAUGURAL KISS. St. Petersburg. March 8.—That the battle of .Mukden will go down in history with Llaoyang in the long list of Russian defeats Is the almost universal belief in pessimistic St. Petersburg, which has forgotten the meaning of tlie word victory. The war office does not admit that the issue of the great battle, which already exceeds in magnitude of operations and losses that of Shakhe, has been decided, although it is positively stated in high quarters that General Ktmipatkin has telegraphed to Kmperor Nicholas that it will be impossible to hold .Mukden and that the withdrawal of the army northward has already been begun.
