Uniform Bill unnopuIar.

Topeka, July "A big fight is be-
ing made upon the proposed adop-
ton of a uniform bill of lading by
all railroads. The objection to the
bill is that the railroads are seeking
to do away with the clause making
the carrying line liable for damage
to or for loss of shipment. The rail-
roads propose to charge regular
tariff rates if liability is waived and
20 per cent in excess of the regular
rates where the railroad assumes the
liability.
A subcommittee of the western clas-
sification committee will consider
the proposed bill of lading July Z.
Six days later it will be taken up for
final consideration at meeting of
the committee to be held at Manitou
Colo. The commercial organiza-
lions protest that the adoption OF
the bill of lading would result in an
increase of freight rates.

WINNING BY THE JAPS
After a Lively Engagement They Cap
iure Fen-Shln Pass.
THEY PRESS STEADILY FORWARD
Russians Driven Out by Familiar
Jap Method-Reports to Emperor
How Japs are Winning by Their
Usual Tactics.

Toxic, July 2.-Detailed reports of
the capture of Fen-Shui pass on June
81 show that the Russians were driven
from an exceedingly strong position
dominating the Shi Mucheng road.
In this engagement the Russian losses
were again heavier than those of the
Japanese. The Japanese outmaneu-
vered the Russians by working around
the enemy's right flank and attack
ing him in the rear.
The Japanese advanced in three
columns. One was assigned to de-
liver frontal attack and the other
column which advanced upon the right
to strike the enemy on the tanks. The
flank fought separate action.
1t encountered three battalions of
infantry, six guns and two ma
chine guns. This engagement lasted
until sunset Sunday. At this hour
the Japanese bivouacked and renewed
the assault at midnight, when they
succeeded in defeating the Russians.
The Russians were reinforced with
three battalions and sixteen guns.
They assaulted the Japanese vicious
ly and endeavored to retake the po-
sition they had lost. They were re-
pulsed and the Japanese flankers
worked their way to the rear of the
main Russian position at Feng-Shui
pass.
In the meantime, the Japanese col
umn which had been assigned to
make the frontal attack met and rout-
ed 10000 infantry and cavalry posted
near Wenchapantsu. The Russians
poured a deadly artillery fire upon
the attackers and the Japanese artil-
lery secured a new position and de-
livered a heavy cross-fire upon the
Russian lines of defense. The Japan
csc gained and retained possession of
the heights. The Russians left ninety
dead behind them on the heights. This
number of dead does not include those
found in the valleys. The Japanese
lost 270 men killed or wounded in the
f1anking and frontal attacks.
The Russian troops who defended
Fen Shut consisted of eleven bat
talions of infantry, seventeen squad
rons of cavalry and three batteries
of artillery. The enemy had spent
three months in fortifying Fen Shut
pass. The barracks and other build
| ings captured by the Japanese had
not been destroyed, but before re-
| treating the Russians burned their
warehouses at Shantasu. The Rus
slams retreated in disorder toward
Shi Mu Cheng.
The Japanese captured So prisoners.
