RUSSIAN LOSSES AT LIAOYANG

Kuropatkin's Escape Causes a Fall in Japanese Bonds.

England's Faith in the Japs.

Received September 16, 10.42 p.m. LONDON, September 16. Kuropatkin reports that a strong Japanese guard of infantry and cavalry has advanced five kilometres further nortih than the Yentai station. Oyama. reported that 31Q0 Russian dead were kift on the/Liaoyang battlefield.

Pending tihe appeiail i-egarding the.Calchas, the "Times" expresses tihe hope that the Russian Government will withdraw from 'the Vliadivostdck Prize Court's unreliable 'and.uncompromising position, and says Itflia't tihe British. Government is bound to adlliere to Mr Balfour's and Lord Lan&downe's recent announcement thlat Bnitaiin will not re'C?ognise any Court's decision violating the rules of infcernaiti'omal law.

Owinig to Europaitkin's escape from LikOoyang, Japanese 'bonds fell five paints on the week. The Japanese press is much concerned, and is surprised at the apparent chiange in English sentiment respecting the proba'Me .results of the war.

The "Times" declares that- there are no pairtioulai1 signs, such as a change of public feeling, as the expressed at Tokio indicate. The English people as it w'li'ole 'were never more impressed .with the Japaneise courage and resolution than .since the historic 'battle J/iaoyang.'
