RETREAT OF RUSSIANS.

The Russian forces under General
SassuIitch, according to adyices received
in Toxic last night, continue theirretreat,
but it is expected they will contest
Japanese advance along the Feng Van
Cheng road.
Reports of the heavy fighting in the
neighborhcod of Chiu Teng Cheng re-
ceived in Toxic yesterday morning say
that the Russians made most stubborn
resistance to the japanese advance, but
were driven successfully out ofseven lines
of trenches.
Lieutenant General Sassulitch, COM
mander of the Second Siberian army
corps, and Major General Kashtalinsky,
commander of The Third Siberian Rifle
Brigade, were wounded by shells. A
Russian lieutenant colonel was captured.
1t is estimated that the Russian casual
ties amounted to over 2. 900.
General Kurokps nexs movein the in
yasion of Manchuria will probably be on
Feng Wang Cheng, where the Russians
will likely make stand. 1t is expected
that great battle viii be fought there,
unless the Russians have not the artil-
lery strength.
The Russians before vacatiug Antung
set fire to the town, but it is not de-
stroyed. AS the japanese now practi-
cally control both banks of The Yalu
they will probably make Antupg base
for supplies
Additional advices concerning the bat
tie Sunday state that after the japanese
carried the liue Of hills extending from
Chlu Tien Cheng to YOshoka, on the
right bank of the Tho river, the Russians
made second stand on hill northwest
of Chiu Tien Cheng, but they began re-
treating at 10 minutes before O'Clock
in the a,terDoou.
At 6 O. clock Sunday evening the Jap
anese Amy beld line extending from
Antung norlhwesterly to Laukuku, and
running from there in anortheasterly di'
rection to Mishukau.
At Hamatan, where the Tho river
makes its first bend to the west, the
japanese succeeded in enyeloping the
Russians on three sides. At this place,
after sharp fighting at close range, the
japanese captured 20 Russian guns,
with their horses, carriages and am
munition, and more than 20 officers aud
many men. The Russian troops at
Hamatan retreated toward Feng Huan
Cheng.
A Russian officer who was taken pris-
oner said that the effect of the japanese
artillery fire on Saturday and Sunday
was enormous.

PRAYERS for Roosevelt's Success.

A prayer that President Roosevelt
might be returned to the White House
caused an unusual demonstration yester-
day at the opening exercises OF the
twenty-second quadrennial general con-
ference, African Methodist Church, in
Chicago. Shouts of "Bless him, oh,
God P' eyes, yesW "Amen, amen p

Gaines, of Georgia, when he invoked
blessings on the President of the United
States, "whc has the manhood and cour-
age to stand up and do his duty at all
times to men of every color and creed in
spite of bitter criticism. If consist
ent with Thy will, oh, God, when his
term expires" continued the bishop,

thought. How to take care Of oue's

the human mechanism Is a wonderful

One man who has done more to teach
the American people how to care for their

Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, the Author Of the
aCoruuon Sense Medical Adviser" He
says It is not the quantity of the food
eaten which produces strength and health

absorbed and assinilated by the blood and
carried 10 nourish every organ Of the body.
1t is, therefore, vitality necessary for the
body that the stomach be in healthy
state. If disease of the stomach, or what Is
called cstomach trouble" prevents proper
nutrition then the heart liver, lungs, and
kidneys do not get proper food-they are
not fed on rich red blood, and i'll conse-
ouence begin to show signs of distress.
Outwardly these Signs may be pimples
and eruptions on skin, pale face, sleepless
nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved and we receive a
VarHing in the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheumatism, too. Is blood disease. After
years of practice and study DR.. Pierce

WEDNESDAY.

Nothing of any great importance
was transacted in the legislature to.
day. The Senate this afternoon pass.
ed the elective judiciary resolution or
its third reading. This morning il
passed bill for the protection of the
inmates of boarding schools.
The House spent good part of the
morning in discussing how county coal
oil inspectors should be named. A
substitute for the coal oil bill was Of
fered and the original bill and the
substitute was again referred to the
committee.
The Judiciary Committee, as fore
casted yesterday, submitted its re-
port, as follows:
Mr.. Speaker-Your Committee on
Judiciary has under consideration the
special report of the Committee on
Humane and Benevolent Institutions
relating to the purchase of 413.96
acres of land by the Trustees of the
State Insane Hospital, and assuming
the statement of facts contained in
said report to be true, have instructed
me to report same back with the fol-
lowing recommendations:
"First-That a concurrent resolu-
ton be adopted by the House and SEN
ate instructing the Attorney General
to institute the necessary legal pro-
ceedings to recover for the state the
money paid for said land.
"Second- That the speaker of the
House of Representatives certify that
portion of said report dealing with
the purchase of said land to the Dis
trict Attorney of the Seventh Judi
ciary District, with the request that
he lay the same before the grand jury
of Kinds county for such action as it
may deem proper. Respectfully sub
mitted,
"JOHN G. MILLSAPS, Ch 'm."

in THE STATE
LEGISLATURE,
MONDAY.

The committee on humane and be-
nevolent institutions suggests that in
view of the fact that there are so
many patients at the State Hospital
Tor the Insane who are mentally and
physically able to do farm and other
outdoor work, the state should turn
over the Rankin or the Oakley con-
Wet farms, both near Jackson, to the
trustees of the hospital, who should
see to the carrying out of their sug
gestions in the matter. The convicts
could be accommodated on the big
stete farm in the delta, and there
would be very little trouble or ex-
pense attached to the change. The
patients at the hospital do a great
deal OF farm work anyhow, but those
capable of such labor would thus be
perated from the worst cases, and
that would relieve the crowded con-
dition of the buildings.
The lower House has passed the
coal oil bill, after lengthy discussion,
by vote of SO to 43, and it is be-
ieved here that it will pass the SEN
ate. 1t has been shown during the de-
bates that the big oil companies have
been dumping their bad oil on the
state Of Mississippi for years, simply
because the state had no inspector.
The Senate has passed by a vote
of 20 to 6 what is known as the cleo
tive judiciary resolution. This reso-
luton increases the number of Su-
preme Court Judges from three to five
and increases their terms from nine to
ten years. The resolution must pass
the second and third reading in the
House, but it is believed that it will
60 through and that the state will be
called on to vote on the proposition
to change the judiciary system from
appointive to elective in the near fu-
ture.

THURSDAY.

A test vote was taken in the House
this afternoon on the proposition to
issue bonds in such amount as may be
necessary to keep the state from run
ming in to debt during the next two
years. The vote resulted in Sc for the
bond issue and SIS against it. The
question, as presented to the House,
was whether to issue bonds or to in
crease the tax levy.
The Senate passed the general ap-
preparation bill, providing for the sal
aries of state officers and employees,
judges, chancellors and district, attor-
neys for the next two years. The bill
was passed exactly as it came from
the House, without amendment. 1t
does not increase or diminish salaries
as heretofore existing.
A meeting of the conference com
mittee appointed to adjust the disa-
greement between the house and
the senate on the state textbook uni
formity bill was held this afternoon.
This is the second meeting of the COM
mittee, and they adjourned without
any apparent progress. Since the
book lobbies came on the scene, and
have manifested such eagerness for
a book Commission number have
begun to doubt it's advisability. The
book companies show much willing
ness to spend money that the legisla-
ture has about decided that the best
interest of the state lies in the direc-
tion of plan that will put their mon
ey at a discount. Many prominent
members Of the conference committee
have expressed themselves as favor
ing the suggestion that the "commis-
sion" plan had better be discarded,
and some other plan advocated that
will drive the book companies from
the field. Looking to this end, Sena-
tor Hicks, who is chairman of the con-
ference committee, is debating a sub
stitute proposition which he will pro-
badly offer at the next meeting. His
proposition, if adopted, viii compel
the companies to sell books in Missis-
sippi at the lowest price that such
books are sold anywhere in the coun-
try, thus giving Mississippi the bene-
fit of all competition between the COM
panies everywhere else.

unfavorable report on the bill. but it
is learned now that at the time the

probability, come up again the latter

TUESDAY.

The special committee appointed by
the House some weeks ago to visit the
coast and look into the oyster condi-
tions there, submitted its report to-
day, and it comes out in favor of Bar
Der Oyster Bill, which prohibits any
but Mississippians to fish in the wa
ters of the gulf. The reports say that
number of factories have been es-
tablished in Alabama and Louisiana,
which use Mississippi oysters and pay
no tax. The report was referred to
the Committee on Fisheries and Com
merce.
Tomorrow morning the House Ju-
dietary Committee will make its re-
ports on the report Of the Committee
on Humane and Benevolent Institu-
tions, which was referred to them for
legal investigation. The Judiciary
Committee recommends that the At
torney General be instructed to take
legal steps to recover the money paid
by the trustees of the Insane Hospit-
al for the land, and further recon-
mends that the District Attorney Of
this district be asked to bring the
matter of the land purchase to the
grand jury's attention.
In the House this afternoon, a very
spirited debate was precipitated by an
attempt to abolish fraternities at the
University of Mississippi, by making
an amendment to the University APP
preparation Bill providing that none
of the money shall be paid until fra
ternities were abolished. The amend
ment was defeated and the appropri-
tion bill passed.
The Senate this morning passed on
its second reading the amendment
providing for an elective judiciary,
which passed its first reading yester-
day. The Senate killed the bill in
troduced by Senator McLaurin, Of the
Twentieth, providing for the creation
of forty-six inferior courts. There
was great deal of discussion on the
bill, and most of the senators express
ed themselves on it. The Senate also
passed the House bill for the support
of the Institute for the Blind.
The House passed the Agricultural
and Mechanical College General Ap-
preparation Bill, and spent most of
the morning in passing minor relief
bills.
1t seems highly probably now that
the uniform textbook legislation will
be confined to an amendment to the
present county adoption law, provid-
ing that books shall be sold in Missis-
sippi as cheap as in any state in the
Union. The House and the Senate
Committees are deadlocked on the
amendments to the Senate bill on the
part of the House, and there is no
hope of the Committee ever being able
to agree.
There is now some prospect of a
favorable report being made on the
Nixon Bill, to create new courthouse
in Pike and make McComb City the
Second District county site. This
bill was earnestly fought last week,

ard that vicinity coming up and ap-
