RUSSIANS SLOWLY
RETREAT|NC
Victory in the Balance at the
Stub5orn!y fought Battle
of lia0 Yang

Toxic. Sept. l. II a. m.-The united
Manchurian armies of Japan have en-
gagged in a desperate attack upon Lao
Yang. where Gen. kuropatkin has con-
centrated every available Russian SOL
der Victory was in the balance and the
battle was draw when the weary sol
diers bIvouacked last Wednesday night.
The Japanese are attacking from the
south and from the east. The right wing
OF the column attacking from the south
keeps in touch with the left wing OF the
column going in from the east forming
an Immense irregular triangle. the two
fronts of which cover an enormous range.
Following the preliminary successes OF
the 18th south of Lao Yang Field Mar
shai Marquis Oyama the commander OF
the japanese forces in the field, promptly
sent the united armies forward. and at
dawn of August 30 a desperate attack
upon al the Russian positions was made.
The japanese found the Russians hold
Ing a long chain of splendldly foruf ed
positions with a tremendous force of ar
tillery. The Japanese artillery attacks
generally failed to give an opportunity
for an open assault. Victory a; Lac
Yang means the domination OF Manchu-
ria and possibly the end of the autua.n
campaign.
The Japanese first army. after occupy

ment and renewed the assault against
the remaining Russian position at

They finally took the last Russian posi-
tions at this place and on an eminence
north of Sunchiassai
Following these successes the Japan

to impede their movement.
From the nigh; of August 27 to the
morning of the 10Th the japanese attack
ed the Russian positions on the ridge TO
the east of Sanputzu. The Russians
finally were dislodged from these ridge
positions. but the Japanese left was un-
able to advance on account OF the force
ful resistance made by the Russian
troops who occupied the heights 10 the
southeast OF Hslangshantzu. Two divis.
ions OF Russians which previously had
been driven from Hanpolin crossed u
bridge constructed over the Taitse river
to the north of Siaotantzu and retreated
TO the right bank OF the river. Continu-
Ing the attack, the japanese center ad-
vanced and occupied line extending
from Sanyutzu to the west of Shlchutzu.
while the left. on the morning of the 2aIh.
after dlslodging the Russians at Tashis-
menling and hsangshantzu. advanced
Yayutai and -engehiafang. where It was
reinforced.
At dawn of August 80 all the Japanese
armies cojointly attacked all the Russian
point north of Tengchiafeng TO a point
east of Hangchiatun. and to the west of
Hsinlintun and Shoushapao. The Japan

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
The Post once Irregularities Caused De-
bate In tine senate--Littie Done
I'm the House.

washington, Jan. 7.-Alleged irregu-
larities in the post Office department
constituted the only theme in the SEN
ate yesterday. The question came up
on motion first made by Senator
Lodge and afterward by Senator PEN
rose to refer the Carmack resolution,
looking to a senatorial investigation
Of the post office department, to the
committee on post Offices and post
roads. The democratic senators re-
sisted the motion and contended that
the country would not be satisfied with
an Investigation Of department made
by the department itself. The debate
continued for almost ~ hours and
was extremely spirited from start to
| finish. Further consideration Of the
subject was deferred until Friday.
The senate committee on manufac-
lures, Of which Senator Hepburn, of
Iowa, is the chairman, had its first
meeting yesterday and gave a hearing
| on the national pure food bill The
sentiment of those present was in IA
vor Of the bill with certain modiflca-
lions.
The only measure considered In the
, house yesterday was bill introduced
by the delegate from Hawaii to ratify
an act of the Hawaiian legislature au-
thorizing the manufacture and distri-
button of electric light and power on
the island Of Oahu, territory of Ha-
wall. Owing to objections made to the
bill in the form presented 1t was re-
committed to the committee on terri
tories.
Mr.. Tawney, Of Minnesota, intro
duced a resolution requesting the post
master general to furnish the house Of
representatives detailed information
regarding all postal cars rented by the
government from the various railroads
of the country. The resolution states
that during the past few years there
have been great many serious rail-
road accidents, causing great bodily in
jury and loss of life to railway postal
clerks and that the charge has beer
made by the press and elsewhere that
these injuries and loss of life are due
in large measure to defective cars.
Mr.. Warner, of Illinois, introduced a
voluminous bill of 700 sections pro-
viding a judicial code for the United
States. This is the second part Of the
general revision of all federal laws en-
acted to the present time, now being
considered by the committee on revi-
sion of laws, Of which Col. Warner is
chairman. This bill embraces all laws
concerning the Jurisdiction and prac-
tice of United States courts and all
judiciary acts and amendatory acts
thereof providing for the removal, APP
peal and transfer Of cases.

A PENSION RULING.
Commissioner Ware Gives His Deci'
sion In the Marsh Case.
ALL RIGHTS BARRED BY CONVICTION.


Washington, Jan. Reconnaissance
Of Pensions Ware yesterday decided
that all rights to pension are barred
BY conviction Of crime and sentence to
prison for life. The decision is made
in the case OF William B. Marsh, a con-
vict in the house Of correction in De-
troit, serving q life sentence for rob-
bling the United States mail In Idaho.
But for this claimants nine months
OF army service would entitle him to
pension. Commissioner Ware holds:
"A pension is for the purpose of sup
porting soldier during his declining
years and is a gratuity. As the claim
ant In this case Is being very carefully
and kindly taken care Of by the gov
ernment 1t Is fulfilling its duty to him
already: and as this Is to continue
during the life Of the claimant for an
Offense against the government 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that the case
Is within the purview Of the statutes.
..By conviction Of the crime and sem
tence to prison for life the man has
become civilly dead. and do not think
that 1t Is an unfair Interpretation OF
the law to hold that when a man be-
comes civilly dead he becomes dead for
pensionable purposes; therefore, let
the claim be rejected"

DFsTIrUTrol in ALASKA.


Washington, Jan. 7.--Reports Of
great restitution and threatened star
walton among the inhabitants Of Fair
LINKS. Alaska, having reached the war
department through o communication
Of the mayor Of that place addressed
to Senator Nelson, Gen. Funston, COM
handing the department Of the Column
bia, was directed to make an inyestt-
cation and to take such steps as would
conserve the public peace while afford
ing relief. The mayor specially re-
ported that staple supplies be not
given but sold to these people from
supplies on hand at Fort Gibbons.
While Gen. Funston was carrying out
these instructions Capt. o. A. Smith,
stationed at Fort Egbert, Alaska, wired
the department that he had received
information from Lieut. Lickard, who
was at Fairbanks as late as December
%, that he neither saw nor heard OF
any famine; that there had been a
shortage of supplies occasioned by an
early freeze, but that freighting had
been going on steadily and that game
seemed plentiful.
Under date of the 4th inst. Gen.
Funston telegraphed the war depart
ment that he had instructed inquiry as
to how many rations could be spared,
but suggested that able-bodied men
who would sit down at Fairbanks and
await government relief are entitled to
little consideration, since within ten
days they can reach Dawson, Ram
part, Tanana or Eagle, where there are
abundant supplies for sale. He sarcas-
tically states that If these men heard
Of gold strike they would snow-shoe
a thousand miles.
