DISAPPEARS KUROPATKIN'S CENTER BROKEN AND THIRTEEN BIG SIEGE GUNS CAPTURED. St..Petersburg, March 8—A very specific report is circulating in ex- ceedingly well informed quarters that, the day has gone badly with General Kuropatkin, that the Russian center is Dbroken and that thirteen heavy siege guns have been captured by the Japanese. If this is true it is pointed out here the battle is lost. < FEKR RETREAT IS CUT OFF POSITION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY GROWING DESPERATE. INCREASINGLY . St. Petershurg, March 8—All hope that General Kuropatkin will be able to turn defeat into victory is rapidly vanishing. The position of the Rus- sian army has been growing increas- Ingly desperate during the last twenty four hours. The gravest danger is from the Japanese left, which has been pushed northward ou mintin road to a point eight miles northwest of Mukden, where it has joined a flanking column from the west around the village of Tatchekiao, which is located at this point. | The battle raged with terrible bitter- ness throughout Monday with all the | reserves hurried to the scene to block | the stroke at the Russian line of com- munications. General Baron Kaulbars, who is de- fending this wing, is only able to hold { his own. On account of the desperate situation there General Kuropatkin has not attempted to drive home his coun- e at the Japanese center and sive, which was abortive, has | been abandoned. At the same time, encoura; by the progress of the main turning movement west, General from Kuroki again pressed forward the east against General Linev forcing the Russians to give ground. It is rumored that Kuropatkin has already given the order to retreat and that bhe is gradually withdrawing for s from the center, but experts are inclined to believe that he has waited too long, that he must fight it out in his present position and that it is im- possible to ricate more than the remnants of his army. At the war office it is said that the siege guns from Port Ar- ith a range of eight miles, are causing terrible punishment. Nothing can stand up against them. AFTER DESPERATE FIGHTING. Japs Oust Russians From Important Position. General Rennenkampff’s Headquar- ters, Qubenepuza, March 8.—Events took an unfavorable turn for the Rus- sians during the evening.

Two Thousand Jap Dead in Front of One Position. St. Petersburg, March 8—General Kuropatkin, in a dispatch dated March 6, says he counted 30 dead Japanese officers and 2,000 men in front of the Gaotu pass position. The Russians Dburied many bodies. Another dispatch from General Ku- ropatkin, dated March 6, says: - “The center is quiet. The Russian flank west of Mulkden continues its of- fensive.

Czar Urges Them to Maintain Glory of Russian Fleet. St. Petersburg, March 8.—GCne hun- dred and eighteen naval cadets and thirty-two pupils of the naval e neering school, who have been pr moted Lo be oflicers, were presented to the emperor during the day at Tsars- koe Selo. The emperor, in an address, exhorted the young officers, particu- larly at the present time, to defend the honor and glory of Russia with all their mignt, not heeding and not discouraged by strokes of fate, but always laboring faithfully in the serv- ice of the Fatherland and the emperor to achieve success. He expressed the hope that they might emulate their older comrades, who had done all pos- sible and set forth every effort to main- tain the glory of the fleet. BY ORDER OF THE CZAR. Commission to Investigate Russian La. bor Troubles Dissolved. St. Petersburg, March §.—The Shi lovski commission appointed to ascer- tain the cause of’ discontent among the working people of St. Petersburg has been dissolved by order of the emperor. An official communication explains that this action is due to the impossibility of proceeding with the proposed plan in consequence of the refusal of the workmen to elect repre- sentatives to the commission. RUSSIANS HOLD FUSHUN. Position Affords Protection to Army on the Shakhe River. Tokio, March 8.—The greatest con- centration of the Russians defending Fushun seéems to be along the line from Tieta to Machuntan. General Kuropatkin continues to resolutely de- fend the Russian positions it Fushun. ‘The operations in that vicinity do not indicate whether Kuropatkin intends to fight or retire, but he must hold Fushun to protect the army on the Shakhe river. Striking Domestics Whipped. Warsaw, March 8.—The strike of house servants here suddenly col- lapsed during the day. This is at- tributed to the action of the police, who have severely whipped domestics, and the others, fearing similar treat- ment, gave up the struggle. Lawyers and Doctors Arrested. Todz, March 8.—The police have arrested a dozen prominent lawyers and doctors on the charge that ‘they had been stirring up the Polish lan- guage agitation in the schools. Break in Missouri Deadlock. Jefferson City, Mo., March 8—The expected break in the senatorial dead- lock came during the day when the joint session took its thirty-ninth bal- lot, five members changing from Nied- ringhaus to Congressman Richard .ouis, two-to Major ty and two voted Warner of Kansas for R. C. n "DEFECTIVE PAGE AMENDS THE TREATY SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES MI- *NOR CHANGES IN SAN DO- MINGO PROTOCOL. SUBJECT DISCUSSED BY SENATORS OPINION EXPRESSED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD EXCEEDED i HIS AUTHORITY. Washington, March 8.—The senate committee on foreign relations for- mally took up the Santo Dominzo pro- tocol during the day, it' having been referred to the committee in evecutive session of the senate. The treaty was read carefully and amendments were offered for the purpose of correcting the phraseology, but mot directed at the policy involved in the document. It was proposed to strike out the words in the protocol which seemed to define the Monroe doctrine, this being re- garded by a number of senators to be superfluous. Other amendments were offered changing words here and there, but not at all affecting the purpose ot the trealy. A recess was taken at 12 o’clock in order that the members of the committee might attend the open- ing of the senate. % IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. Dominican Protocol the Subject of . Discussion. Washington, March 8.—The open session of the senate continued for only eight minutes. The vice presi- dent presided, the chaplain offered prayer and Mr. Hansbrough presented a resolution providing for the amend- ment of the senate rules so as to per- mit senators “to hand ‘petitions and private bills to the secretary of the senate instead of introducing them in the present formal manner. Then, at 12:08 p. m., the senate went into exec- utive session. In his opening prayer Chaplain Hale remembered the senators who failed of re-election. When the senate went into execu- tive session Senator Bacon called up a resolution which he offered Monday asking that the senate committee on foreign relations make an tion of the protocol of an a; n made Jan. 31, 1905, by which the Unit- ed States undertook to regulate the collection of customs of the Dominican government and pay the claim of the San Domingo Improvement company. He addressed the senate in support of the resolution. The right of the United States to enter into an agreement with another country for the collection of a claim held by a United States citizen or com- pany was conceded by Senator Bacon, but he contended that the Executive Exceeded His Authority in entering into an agreement to take charge of the customs affairs of such government without first submitting the question to the senate and receiv- ing its approval. Senator Spooner discussed this subject also and so far as the author- ity of the president to make such an agreement with Santo Domingo was concerned he agreed with Mr. Bacon. Several other senators taiked on the resolution, but a number objected to its form. They claimed that ic went too far. Senator Bacon met this criti- clsm. by withdrawing the resolution with a view to remodeling it and offer- ing it again. The sentiment of the senate seemed to be that an early report on the treaty should be made by the committee on foreign relations. A suggestion to this effect met with favor and it was an- riounced that it had been agreed in the committee that a report could be made within a few days. It is not the ex- pectation that the treaty will be re- ported from the committee in a form approved by all of the members, but it is believed that greater headway, can be made by having the discussion on the floor of the senate. While most of the debate related to the Bacon resolution there was an in- cidental exchange of views among the senators concerning the treaty and the effect of the intervention of the United States in the affairs of the Dominican government, including the right of the United States to collect debts due to American citizens. On the latter point there was substantial agreement, but there was a wide divergence of opin- ion as to the method. SELECTED BY CORTELYOU. Frank H. Hitchcock First Assistant Postmaster General. Washington, March 8—Postmaster General Cortelyou announced after the cabinet meeting that Frank H. Hitchcock of Massachusetts had been selected for first assistant postmaster general. On the assumption of his new duties Mr. Hitchcock will retire from the assistant secretaryship of the Republican national committee. Mr. Hitchcock was at one time chief clerk to the department of commerce rnd labor, served with Mr. Cortelyou through the national campaign as as- sistant secretary of the national com- mittee and at present is the secretary of the inaugural committee. = Wiszonsin Anti-Cigarette Law.

CHADWICK. Officers of Oberlin National Bank on the Stand. . Cleveland, March 8.—Mrs. Chadwick came into court during the morning apparently none the worse for her ill- ness, which caused the adjournment of court the previous afternoon. E. H. Hylter of Oberlin, who was on the stand when the adjournment was taken, was called again as soon 8s the court opened. He was a direc- tor of the Citizens’ National bank of Oberlin and gave evidence covering the meetings of the banlk. = He was asked what knowledge he bad of any transactions carried on by Mrs. Chadwick and despite the objec- tions of Mrs. Chadwick’s attorneys was allowed to answer. He said he knew nothing of them until Nov. 27, 1904. J. F. Randolph of Oberlin, who was also a director of the Oberlin bank, gave evidence similar to that of Mr. Holter. He-was followed by C. P. Dootittle, an instructor in Oberlin col- lege and also a director of the bank, who testified that none of the Chad- wick deals were ever reported to the directors. S. H. Avery, formerly assistant cash- ier of the Oberlin bank, was the next witness. He testified that he had no knowledge of any of the transactions between Mrs. Chadwick and the bank. None of the former directors were cross-examined by the defense, but strenuous objections were offered to the introduction of the record of the minutes as evidence, it being desired to show by it that the cashier con- stantly concealed from the directors all.knowledge of the dealings of the bank with Mrs. Chadwick. ELEVATED CAR OVERTURNS. Forty Persons Injured in Accident at Chicago. Chicago, March 8.— Overturning high in the air on the Lake street ele- vated railroad a passenger coach with eighty pers-mns aboard escaped being dashed to tkLe granite pavement below.

When the car was turned-he was pitched out. His body struck the elevated structure and was rolling off into the street below when he grasped a rail and clung suspend- ed above the street until a fireman raised a ladder and carried him down. MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING. Cincinnati Bank Loses $55,000 of Ite Reserve Fund. Cincinnati, March 8—The German National bank of this city is $55,000 short in its government reserve fund, according to a story published here. While this fund still contains much more money than the national banking laws prescribe it shall possess as a national bank that amount has ap- parently been stolen from its special vaults. i Officials say that the robibery is one of the boldest and most puzzling ever known in this section. On Dec. 13 the reserve fund was counted and found to be intact. Four weeks ago the short- age was discovered and the most thor- ough investigation has been carried on ever since without results. The German National bank is one of the strongest banks in this section, with a capital of $500,000, a surplus of $500,000, undivided profits of $157,- 196 and total resources of nearly $7,000,000. President Bohrer said the loss was comparatively small and that It might be found later to be a matter of bookkeeping. Armour Employes Strike. Chicago, March 8.—Employes of Ar- aour & Co.’s woolhouse to the number of 250 are out on strike because a movement for higher pay resulted in the dismissal of two of the chief agi- tators, members of the union.
