St. Petersburg, Jan. 31—The Rus- sian advance movement against the Japanese left has failed and General Gripenberg has notified the emperor he has discontinued the offensive. General Mistchenko and General Kondratsvitch, while' not seriously in- jured, have been obliged 1o relinquish their commands.

The object o the opera- tions is nol clearly understood here, but it is suggested that the Lussians either iutended to turn the Japanese left and move a heavy torce down west of the Liao river or were seeking to divert attention from some projected operation against the Japanese 1ight. It is reported that the weather is warmer since Jan. 25, but it is stili extremely cold, so that it is impossible to expose the troops at night. The Tokio press expresses the opin- ion that General Kuropatkin either or- dered the movemeni to divert atten- tion from the domestic conditions in Russia or that he had planned to make a fight before Field Marshal Oyama had been heavily reinforced. Manchurian army headquarters, tel- egraphing Jan. 29, says: “There has been no great change in the direction of the right and center armies since the night of Jan. 28, cept constant collisions beiween re- connoitering parties. In the direction of (he left army the enemy keeps up a slow but constant cannonade. “The enemy’s main hody at Chen- chichpao and Heikoutai seems to have retreated in the direction of Nienyu- pao, which is two miles west of Chang- tan and Subfangtai. At a pdint ten miles northwest of Changtan the en- emy left many dead.” The details of the fighting at Chen- chichpao and Heikoutai have not yet been reported. REPLIES TO RUSSIAN NOTE. Japan Repels Accusations Regarding Chinese Neutrality. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—The Japanese government has presented a note to this government regarding the com- murication recently addressed Dby Russia to the powers on the subject of the neutrality of China, “repelling the accusations of Russia that call in question the good faith and loyalty of Japan to her enzagemenw 2 RUSSIANS DCCUF’Y SANTATITSA.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 31.—Lieutenant General Gripenberg, commander. of the Second army, has telegraphed to Emperor cholas that the Russians have occupied Santatitsa. He alsc re- ports that Generals Mistchenko and Kondratsvitch are wounded. CASUALTIES ARE HEAVY. Total Losses in Recent Fighting Fif- teen Thousand. Tokio, Jan. 21.—The casualties dur- ing the fighting at Chenchiehpao and Heikoutai are estimated at 5,000 on the side of the Japanese and 10,000 on the Russian side. Long Walk With Fractured Skull.

O’Brien of Waupaca, Wis., employed at a logging camp near ‘ere. after be- ing kicked in the head by a horse, »IN'TENTIONAL DUPLICATE EXPOSURE walked five miles with a fractured skull to secure medical treatment and then fell dead. . GTRIKERS RETURN TO WORK. Practically All Factories in St. Peters- burg in Operation. St. Petersburg, Jan. 31.—Most of the factories and mills of St. Petersburg are in operation and the strike to all intents and purposes is ended. A few large establishments have not yet fully resumed operations owing to the official formalities necessary in regis- tering their thousands of employes. Some of the workmen at the Putiloft works, where the strike originated, have asked for the celebration of a re- ligious service by the metropolitan of St. Petershurg before resuming work “s0 as to remove the effect of the presence of the unfrocked priest and excommunicated” leader, Father Go- pon.” Some Social Democrats are protest- ing against the arrests of Friday and Saturday on the ground that the action taken was a violation of the implied promises contained in the proclama- tion of the authorities. The Manufa turers’ association will meet tl to decide the question of paying the wages of the strikers for the time the latter were not at work, but as a num- ber of the works have already paid their unskilled laborers, whose payday was Jan. Z& half of full time, the rest of the employers will probably decide to pay their workmen at least part ot their wages for the time they were on strike. At Kieff several of the big machine shops and engineering works are idle owing to the strike there and the bakeries are partially closed, with the result that the price of bread has risen. The military are patrolling the streets. At Mitau there have been sonie disorders and a police superin- tendent was wounded. The troops there have not vet used their arms. X battery of artillery and a battalion of troops have been dispatched from Vilna to Libau. SWEDISH WITNESSES TESTIFY. Called in North Sea Inquiry in Spite of Russian Objection. Paris, Jan. 31.—The international commission inquiring into the North sea incident at its session during the day heard two Swedish witnesses, Captain Johnson and Mate Stromberg of the cargo hoat Aldebaran. They both testified that a few hours preced- g the firing on the British trawlers by the Russian squadron their hoat was attacked in the North sea by a strange warship, which fired many shots at the Aldebaran, but did not do serious damage. The stranger then disappeared. Counsel for Russia protestes this testimony was not directly con. nected with the North sea incident, but Admiral Fournier, president of the commission, ruled that the testimony was admissible. Hugh O’Beirne, the agent, said that the strange the Russian transport Kamtchatka, which mistook the Swed- ish craft for a torpedo boat. Mr. O'Beirne further declared- that the Kaml(hall\a lhme’lfle) sent a Wllele fag him that sl\e Bad been 4t ed by a torpedo hoat and Rojest- veusky thereupon ordered his squad- ron o be on the lookout for torpedo boats, which. Mr. O'Beirne asserted, caused the North sea incident. TO PUT DOWN REBELLION. Martial Law Established in Cavite and Batangas. Jan. 31.—Habeas corpus has the provinces of Manila, been suspended in Cavite and Batangas.

TO SAVE GORKY. Italian Government Asked to Plead for Life of Novelist. Rome, Jan. 31.—A number of depu- ties signed a memorial in the chamber of deputies during the day asking the government to use its good offices with the Russian government to save the life of Maxim Gorky and his compan- ions.

COMPLICATIONS ARISE | BRITISH PROTEST AGAINST AT- = TACK ON THEIR CONSUL AT WARSAW, RUSSIA. SERIOUS RIOTING - REPORTED THERE NUMBER KILLED OR WOUNDED ESTIMATED AT ONE HUN- DRED AND SIXTY. 8t. Petersburg, Jan. 31.—New com- plicaticns between Great Britain and Russia are feared on account of the attack on the British consul and vice consul at Warsaw Saturday night. Comiing on the heels of the placards posted by Assistant Police Chief Roud- neff at Moscow charging Great Britain with inciting the revolution in Russia the Warsaw incident is likely to arouse an outburst in Great Britain which may again ‘strain relations be- tween the two countries. Beyond the fact of the attack at Warsaw result- ing in the wounding of the British vice cousul, who is now in a hospital, the British embassy here has no detail of the aftair, but Sir Charles Hardinge, the Briutsh ambassador, has already Lamsdorff asking for an immediate in- vestigation and explanation, rescrving any claims which may be hereafter made and at the same time asking for the protection of Briti; throughout the empire. By the fi train he also dispatched Major Napier, the British military attache, to War- saw to secure a full report on the cir- cumstances. Placards Ordered Removed. Count Lamsdorff replied to Ambas- 8sador Hardinge's second note on the subject of the Moscow placards by saying that instructions had been sent to remove all traces of the placards from the streets. It is now learned, however, that similar notices had been posied at Libau and Reval, which led to a renewal of representations on thi: score. In this connection the appe: ance of the proclamation of the holy syfod insiructing the orthodox prie: to inform their parishioners that the strike and revolutionary movements were promoted by the external as well as interual enemies of Russia with the object of embarrassing the military and naval plans has created some- thing of o flu among foreigners herve, especially the British, who be- lieve that the ob; is to incite hos- tility. No further action, however, has been taken by either Ambassador Har- dinge or the other foreign representa. tives. Private advices the authorities tak from Warsaw say there have already n over charge of (he waterworks, light and gas plants and that serious trouble is anticipated. SERIOUS RIOTS AT WARSAW NUMBER OF KILLED OR WOUNDED ESTIMATED AT ONE HUN- - DRED AND SIXTY. ‘Warsaw, Russian Poland, Jan. 31.— The number ot killed or wounded dur- ing the rioting here Sunday is esti- mated at 160. Out of door life in the city is at a complete standstill. All the restau- rants, cafes and shops are closed. claring that the condition of the city requires additional protective meas- ures. The strikers, it is added, must return o work unconditionally. RUSSIA REPLIES TO CHINA. Reasserts Latter Country Has Vio- lated Neutrality. Berlin, Jan. 31.—The Russian gov- ernment’s reply to China’s declarations that she has not infringed neutrality nor permitted Japan to do so is a reas- sertion that she has done so. The Rus- sian note, which was communicated to the powers Saturday, gives specifica- tions of what is affirmed to be viola- tions of neutrality, but the tone of the | reply is such that it is inferred that Russia is not likely to carry the discus- sion much further. It is learned here that Russia found that all the powers, | ‘particularly Germany, held views iden- ti Wwith those of the United States on limiting the zone of war and keep- ing China out of it. CHARGED BY TROOPS. sh Consul and Vice Consul Warsaw Attacked. London. Jan. 31.—The foreign office has received a telegram from Consul General Murray at Warsaw reporting that him kain were charged by Russian cavalry- men engaged in clearing the streets of Warsaw. It appedrs that Mr. Mur- ray is partially deat and probably did not hear the approach of the troops and when he subsequently endeavored to make known his personality it was without avail. The foreign office has Bri ; to maku urgent representations at St. lPetersburz on the subject. DEFECTIVE PAGFE delivered a note to Foreign Minister | consuls The sitvation is quieter, but the' strike continves in full swing. All places of business are closed. A proclamation has been issued de- If and Vice Consul Mucu- | telegraphed to Ambassador Hardinge | ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. President Asks Congress to Provide for Gathering Statistics, ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—The president seut a message to congress during the day calling attention to the fact that no statistics on marriage and divorce have been collected since 1886 and recommended legislation. The follow- ing is the text of the message: “I call the attention of the congress to ihe tact that no statistics have been collected by the federal government upon the subject of marriage and di- vorce since the year 1886 and that but few of the states have provision for the coliection of such statistics. “The institution of marriage is of cou at the very foundation of our social organization and all influences that affect that institution are of -vital concern to the people of the whole country. There is a widespread con- viction that the divorce laws are dan- gerously Jax and indifferently adminis- terad in some of the states, resulting in a diminishing regard for the sanctity of the marriage relation. “The hope is Witertained that co- operation amongst the several states can be secured to the end that there may be enacted, upon the subject of marriage an& divorce, uniform laws, containing all possible safeguards for the security of the family. Intelligent and prudent action in that direction will be greatly promoted by securing reliable and trustworthy statistics upon marriage and divorce. I deem the matier of sufficient general impor- tance o recommend that the director of the cenSus be authorized by appro- priate legislation to collect and pub- lish statistics pertaining to that sub- ject covering the period from 1886 to the present time.” ON RAILRGAD RATE MAKING HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL FAVOR. ABLY REPORT TOWNSEND AND ESCH BILLS. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—The Repub- Hean members of the house commit- tee on interstate and foreign com- merce at a meeting during the day de- cided to report the Townsend and Esch bills on the subject of railroad rate making. The Townsend bill cre- ates a court of transportation of five United States circuit judges. The Esch bill enlarges the interstate com- merce commission to seven members and extends to it authority to name a reasonable rate in place of ‘one it hasa ™~ declared unreasonable. LOSS OVER HALF MILLION. Fire Occurs in Wholesale District at Omaha. Omaha, Jan. 31.—The fire which started in the wholesale district of this city lat¢ Saturday night was the most destructive in the history of Omaha. The total loss will exceed $500,005 at the most conservative esti- mate. A half block was burned over, but the immense buildings contained great jobbing stocks, which is responsible for the enormous loss. The buildings, valued at $200,000, were owned re- spectively by the Mercer and Millard estates. No definite figures have yet been obtained on insurance, but the stocks of goods were generally covered by msurance up to the 90 per cent limit. A more disastrous conflagration was only prevented by the heroic efforts of the entire fire department of Omaha, which was reinforced by several en-_ gines, hose wagons and other equip- ment from South Omaha and Council Bluffs. ASK INCREASE OF WAGES. Nine Hundred Lumber Wagon Drivers on Strike at Chicago. ! Chicago, Jan. 31.—Nine hundred lumber wagon drivers struck here dur- ing the day. Operations of firms com- prising the Lumbermen’s association, coucerns that coutrol the supply of lumber for building, the flooring mills sash, dpor and blind and box of the city, were affected. One hundred firms are nrembers of the association and they assert that they will stand together in opposing the demands of the drivers. The drivers affected belong to the Lumber, Box and Shaving Teamster local of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Since last December they have been seeking an increase of wages for drivers of two-horse wagons from $13 to $14 a week. No increase is asked for single drivers, who have been getting $12. The employers will concede no ad'vam'e LOWCR COURT SUSTAINED. Machen, Lorenz and the Groffs Must Go to Prison. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—The supreme court of the United States has denied the application of Machen, Lorenz and the Groffs for a writ of certiorari in 2l the case against them charging con- spiracy to defraud the government in connection with the postoffice depart- ment irregularities. The effect is to leave standing the decision of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia finding them guilty as charged. Machen, l.orenz and the Groffs were sentenced to two years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $10,000 each. There will be no further effort to delay the execution of the sentence of the District supreme court, from which the defendants appealed successively to the District court of appeals and then to the supreme court of the Unit- ed States. -
