THE BATTLE ON LONE TREE HILL
VIII Occupy "a Place BY Itself I'm
Military Annals.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 19.-The general
staff believes that the storming of
Lone Tree hill for valor and slaughter
will occupy a place by itself in mill
tary annals.
Kuropatkin, under whose eye the as
sault was made, rechristened it Pouti-
loft hill, in honor of the man who led
the attack at the head of the second
brigade of the East Siberian rifle divi-
sion, and who was subsequently deco
rated on the field with the st. Georges
cross.
The hill is a precipitous rocky
height, and although the Japanese had
only occupied it a short time, they had
thrown up strong defenses. The river
running at its foot increased the diff
ficulty of the task. but it was scaled
and carried successfully against the
unprecedented opposition of a Japan
csc division, $4,000 men, with many
guns
The Russian losses were terrible.
The fighting on the crest of the hill
was altogether with cold steel.
The Russian officers, with swords
aloft leading the scaling column, were
literally lifted in the air by the Japan
csc bayonets, and the Japanese then
bayoneted the first of the Russian sol
diers who piled in the trenches.
All the dead in the trenches were
bayonetted, their weapons bearing
marks of the dreadful combat.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-3:15 a. NJ
The news from the front, Monday
eight was more reassuring from the
Russian standpoint.
The situation is still regarded as be-
ing critical, but Gen. Kuropatkin Is ap-
parently holding the Japanese firmly
ON his center and right wing. even
having recrossed the Shakhe river
and while there are rumors Of an ex-
tensive Japanese fanking movement.
both on the east and on the west, there
is no evidence that they are actually
occurring.
Gen. Kuropatkin's left wing has
been heard from in the form of the
first connected account Of the four
days fight in front of Tumin and Salt
choun passes, resulting in the final
withdrawal of the strong Russian col
umn, which had been sent to turn the
Japanese right, though Gen. Mistchen-
ko seems to have actually penetrated a
considerable distance inside the jap
anese line.
The report of the operations of the
Russian left wing Is still three days
old, and since that time no news has
been received from this column.

patch from Gen. Sakharoff, dated Tues

Teller of Colorado Attacks Provisions
of Gibson Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Teller ad-
dressed the Senate to-day on the
question of repeal of the desert land
law. He opposed the Gibson bill. say
ing the friends of that bill generally
were found among those who knew the
least of the subject. Teller referred to
the connection of Maxwell with the
agitation for the repeal of the land
laws, and expressed the opinion that
the gentleman had not any influence
in passing the irrigation act.
Dubois, Warren and Hansbrough vol
unteered statements to the effect that
they had not known Of Maxwelrs in
terest in the irrigation legislation as
a representative of the railroads. Ref
erence being made to the railroad con-
tributions to Maxwell's fund of s50,00o
a year, Warren expressed the opinion
that it had not been the intention of
the railroad managers that the money
contributed by them should be used
in the "scandalous manner that it is
used
Teller said that most of the charges
against existing laws have originated
in MaxwelPs newspapers, and he con-
tended that the railroads would not
make such extensive contributions ex-
cept with the view of enhancing the
value of their land. Every step they
had taken, he said, had been in the d.
rection of forcing the land seekers to
the railroad lands. He denied that Col
orado had suffered through the land
laws
