THE WAY IS OPEN
Injunction Against Phoenix
 & Eastern Dissolved
It Had Been Issued by a Globe Court Commissioner at the Instance of the Arizona Eastern.

Prescott, Sept. 6.-(Special.-Afte carefully hearing the facts. Judge Sloan of the Fourth judicial district to- day dissolved the injunction that was issued some days ago against the Phoe- nix & Eastern Railway company b. Court CommissioneT Martin of Gila county. Application to dissolve the injunction was made here because Judge Kent of the Third district, in which Gila county is included, and Judge Doan of the Second district. the next nearest judge. were both absent from the territory.
 The injunction issued by Commis- sioner Martin and dissolved today by Judge Sloan, was issued at the instance of the Arizona Eastern Railway com pany, and it restrained the Phoenix &, Eastern from constructing its line across a small strip of ground between Kelvin and Dudleyviile, which happens to lie in Gila county. All the remain der of the territory heretofore in dis pute lies in Pinal county, and most of it is already covered by the com pleted road of the Phoenix 6 Eastern. which has proceeded under the protec- ton of an injunction against the Ari-
 zona Eastern, issued by Judge Doan. ! Thus the action of Judge Sloan today gives the PhSenix & Eastern a free hand to complete it's line through tho territory which has heen so much in l controversy.

 Meanwhile the defense of the Rus sian positions on the southern bank O the river was entrusted to the second | and fourth corps, which were given positions around the city. The cen ter of gravity had now been trans ferred to the right bank of the river. The seventh corps, which had been stationed there. was subjected on Au- gust 31 to a heavy bombardment by the Japanese artillery, situated north of Sykwantun.
 The tactical key of u is position was Solitary Hill, whence the Jaapnese could be seen crossing the river at Wankwuntun. Nine companies of the tenth European regiment held this hill, supported on the right by the Bolkhon regiment with the NeZhinsk regiment in reserve. Here occurred the most brilliant encounter and the most dcs- perate fighting of the whole battle. On Sept. 1 the Japanese concentrated their artillery fire on this hill and by evening they occupied it. The Neg hinsk regiment was ordered on the next day to retGke the hill and the ar tiilery position, and headed by its col onel on horseback. the regiment tried to rush the heights.
 The Japanese fire was terrific and moved down whole companies, but the NezhinslZs went on, gaining ground inch by inch till finally they reached the top. Then there was a frightfuI hand to hand struggle. The Japanese were obliged to fall back and the Neg hinsk regiment occupied the hill, which l they managed to hold till evening. Then, unable to withstand the concen- 1 trated artillery f.'e of the Japanese, the | Nezhinsks had to descend. Its terrible | fighting cost the regiment more than | half it's men and three-fourths of it's 1 officers. The heights will henceforth

 hail of p-ojectiles was falling in the city, especially in the church square
 ana around the house where General Kuropatkin had been living. The evac-
 Tation was productive of h1roizm and

Statements that the Japanese army is concentrating upon the Hanks of the Russian forces of Mukden are met at the Russian war office with expressions of incredulity. It is the opinion at St. Petersburg that a much longer tim" Lust elapse before Oyama can put his army which was so sOrely tried in the battle of Liao Yang, in condition to un- dertake a forward movement.
 Russia's recession from her early position on the question of cOntraband is regarded as the occasion of the prob able retirement of Vice Admiral Avel- Ian from his post as head of the Rus sian admiralty department.
