IS ON THE RUN JAP ATTACK COMPELS HIM TO WITHDRAW TROOPS TO TIE PASS. MUKDEN HAS BEEN EVACUATED 'TS GREAT MAGAZINES ARE SET ON FIRE BY JAPANESE ARTILLERY. - RUSSIANS GIVE UP ALL HOPE BATTLE OF MUKDEN ADDS AN- OTHER TO LONG LIST OF RUSS DEFEATS. For ten days the Japanese and Rus- sian armies in Manchuria have been engaged in a mighty conflict, the issue of which has not yet been reached. Although the most of the news from the scenes of the battle comes through Russian sources, and consequently may be supposed to present the facts in as favorable a light as possible for the Russian arms, it is evident that the Japanese made some gains yestev- day. St. Petersburg has an unofficial re- port that Gen. Kuropatkin’s center has been broken and that thirteen stege guns have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. These guns, which are of six and eight-inch caliber, were given permanent emplacements on the line of the railroad north of Shakhe station, the fact evidencing the confidence of the Russians that the Japanese could not penetrate thither. Cover Russian Retreat. In St. Petersburg it is generally be- lieved that Gen. Kuropatkin was yes- terday fighting a rear guard action to cover his retreat, and that the night will have witnessed a large withdrawal of troops through Tie pass. All of the commander-in-chief’s ability, it is con- sidered, will be required to extricate his army from its present predica- ment. The issue, it is expected, will be decided to-day, and a great deal un- questionably depends on the compara- tive ability of the opposing armies to resist the effects of hunger and fa- tigue, the limit of human endurance having, evidently, been nearly reached on both sides. Beyond the statement that the cas- ualties exceeded those of the battle of Liao-yang there is little known as tu the number killed or wounded. Evacuate Mukden. Tokio, March 8—Reports are current here that the Russians are in retreat and preparing to destroy the railway north of Mukden. Gen. Kuropatkin is said to have gone to Fushun after holding a council of war of 100 officers. His left rear guard consisting of 20,- 000 picked troops, is retiring. Chi- nese report that Mukden has been completely evacuated and that its great magazines were set on fire by Japanese artillery. Russians Concede Defeat. St. Petersburg, March 8.—That the battle of Mukden will go down in his- tory with Liao-yang in the long list of Russian defeats is the almost univer- sal belief in pessimistic Sr. Peters- burg, which has forgotten the mean- ing of the word victory. The war of- fice does not admit that the issues of the great battle, which already ex- ceeds in magnitude of operations and losses that of Shakhe, has been de- cided, although it is positively stated in high quarters that Kuropatkin has telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas that it will be impossible to hold Mukden, and that the withdrawal of the army northward has already been begun. Notbing from Gen. Kuropatkin later than Monday has been given out, but advices to St. Petersburg newspapers and dispatches to the Associated Press dated at 8 o'clock last night indicate that the position of the Russian army after a day of furious and unprece- dented fighting is desperate but not absoiutely hopeless, some Russian cor- respondents even predicting a Russian victory soon, and one affirming that the extreme Japanese left has already begun to retire. southward. Every probability now depends on Gen. Ku- ropatkin’s reserve. Fiercest Fighting. Mukden} March 8.—Fighting of the fiercest nature, which is likely to de- cide the fate of the battle which nas been in progress for ten days, began at dawn yesterday and has continued uninterruptedly up to the present time on a front fourteen miles long west of the railroad. and on a_ line with the Shakhe river. The Japanese also have made a desperate attack on Bentsiaputze, and reports are arriving here that fighting was renewed yes- terday morning on the extreme left of, the Russian army. Both sides are fighting with desperation to the west- ‘ward, though the troops are well nigh exhausted. The issue of the battle may depend largely on the relative physical condition of the rank and ath Josses in the ten days of battle on both sides are already far greater than were the casualties in the hattle of Liao-yang, and are likely to increase as the days pass before the issue fs fairly decided. eee d “WILL RATIFY TREATY. | Senate Stands Practically Agreed én an Amended Convention. ‘ ‘Washington, March 8.—The outlook for an early disposition of the Santo Domingo treaty is improving. A re count of noses yesterday indicated to administration leaders that the num- ber of votes necessary for the ratifica- F tion can be secured through judicious amendments. Two vacancies exist in the senate, as Messrs. Burton and Mitchell can neither vote nor pair themselves, and this leaves fifty-seven votes necessary for ratification. If the Republicans hang together but three Democratic votes must be obtained to make the fifty-seven. A sentiment in favor of expediting matters developed yesterday. It was decided to bring the treaty from the foreign relations com- mittee without a report. All the amendments needed to make the phraseology acceptable will be ar- ranged and some other matters out- lined. These will be ieft to the senate for acceptance or rejection. In this way a long and tedious fight in com- mittee will be avoided. It is now be- lieved the treaty can be brought out of committee to-day. FIRE CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE. Big Plant at Cedar Rapids Valued at $1,500,000 Destroyed.

Chemists Find Indications of Strych- nine in Stomach. Honolulu, March 8. — High Sheriff Henry told the correspondent of the Associated Press yesterday that the chemists in a test of the contents of Mrs. Stanford’s stomach had found a condition which indicated strychnine poisoning, and that they would so tes- tify at the inquest.

MAKE BEST BUTTER. H. H. Credicott of Easton Is First and H. A. Goelsch of Money Creek Sec- ond. E. K. Slater, state dairy and food commissioner, announced the follow- ing winners in the first monthly edu- cational butter contest. They are: H. L. .Credicott, Easton, 97.5; H. A. Goelsch, Money Creek, 97; Joseph Dierkhising, Mene Grove, 96.5. The contest was one of the most successful ever held by the depart- ment. There were entered 181 tubs, representing more than 4,000 pounds of butter. The winners in the contest will receive cash premiums besides diplomas. First prize takes $5, second $3 and third $1. The first five in the contest will all receive a diploma. At the end of the contests four cups are to be presented to the buttermak- ers who get the largest scores for the twelve months. Gov. Johnson has consented to offer a cup, and the other three will be given by the state dairy and food department. No cheese contest has been started, but Mr. Slater said that he intends to start one next summer. Prizes and cups will also be offered in this con- test, which will likely cover six months.

FLEAS BROKE UP MEETINGS. Too Thick for the Faithful in North Carolina. Pigs, goats and fleas are the subject of proposed legislation by the general assembly of North Carolina. In Pitt county churches appear to have been erected on a plan that puts the floor several feet above the ground, with openings between the pillars. Hogs and goats have sought the convenient shelter of this space, until the soil on which the churches stand has become one part sand and two parts fleas. In consequence religious services have been broken up and congregations dis- missed from worship at very inoppor- tune times with alarming frequency. The nuisance has become so great that the. members of the general as- sembly from Pitt county have intro- duced bills to require owners of hogs and goats running at large to fence in the churches, so as to keep these ani- mals from roosting under them.— Newark (N. J.) News. THE TRICKS. Coffee Plays on Some. It hardly pays to laugh before you are.certain of facts, for it is some- times humiliating to think of after- wards, “When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee, but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. “So I commenced it again and con- tinued about 6 months until my stom- ach commenced acting bad and chok- ing as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. “One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my husband hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor’s office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced it ner- vous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. “My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof- fee, but I said: ‘Take that back, dear. I will never drink another cup of cof- fee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me’ He and the others laughed at me and said: “The idea of coffee killing body.’ “ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.’ “In the grocery one day my hus- band was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how godd it was but said nothjng to the hired men and they thought they had drunk coffee until we laughed and told them. Well, we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trouble and I know I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. “My husband has gained good health on Postum, as well as baby and I, and we all think nothing is too good to say about it!’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. f any-
