FALLING BACK ON HARBIN
IN GOOD CONDITION.
ULTIMATE FATE STILL DOUBTFUL
WEARY PuRSUERS MAY BE UNA
BILE TO CUT OFF RETREAT
OF MUSCOVITES.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

Tie pass is now in the hands of the
Japanese and the broken Russian
army continues it's retreat to the north.
No details of the action have been re-
ceived and the ultimate fate of the
remnant of Kuropatllin's force is still
problematical.
Another successful flanking move
ment on the part of the Japanese
would probably seal its fate, but 1t
may be that the Japanese are not In
condition to accomplish such feat
after their exhausting efforts of the
past two weeks.
General Kuropatkin evidently left
Tie pass Wednesday and reports to st.
Petersburg that his army is falling
back in good condition.
The next town of Importance in the
line of the Russian retreat is Kaiyuan,
some twenty miles from Tie pass, but
its strategic value is not known.

HUNDREDS IN PANIC.
Rearend Collision of New York Eie
waited Trains.

New York, March 1.-TWO persons
were badly hurt and dozen others
slightly injured, while hundreds were
thrown into a panic of fear by rear
end collision between two southbound
Sixth avenue electric elevated trains
at Seventy-second street and Column
bus avenue during the forenoon rush
hours. A train which had just stopped
at the station was run into by another
that had been following it closely.
The accident Is thought to have been
due to failure of the airbrakes of the
second train to work.
Passengers said that the collision
was due to the attempts of the motor
man of the rear train TO discover how
near he could bring his train to the
one ahead of him without hitting it.
They aver that he made several such
attempts before the accident and then
became confused and failed to stop
his train In time.
Passengers on both trains became
wildly angry when they discovered the
cause of the accident and made rush
for the motorman with cries of lynch
him" and "mob him." Police reserves
were called ont.

BEBEL ATTACKS Won BUELOW.
Germany's Russian Policy Cause of
Bitter Discussion.

Berlin, March 17.-Chancellor Won
Buelow and Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, engaged in a bitter discussion
in the reichstag over Germany's Rus
sian policy. The chancellors usual
composure and good humor in debate
were disturbed by the almost savage
criticism of the Socialist chief, who
said that Germany's creeping before
Russia had humiliated her in the eyes
of the world and had brought her to
shame" He held Won Buelow respon-
sible for Prussia's engaging in the
nasty work of catching fugitives from
Russian military service and turning
them over to agents of the autocrat
and for forcing men and women, whose
only offense was love of liberty, to
leave Prussian territory at the in
stance of Russian spies"
Herr Bebel laughed scornfully at
the chancellor's assertion that the So
cialists want war with Russia. He
had answered such reproaches dozen
times. Were an insurrection to break
out in Russian Poland Won Buelow
would doubtless send a note to St.
Petersburg offering German troops to
help in suppressing it.
The Socialist chief was twice called
to order by the president of the house.

The commander-in-ch concluded

UNSHAkEN IN HIS DECISION.
Russian Emperor Determined to Con-
tnue the War.

Berlin, March 1.-THE German gov
ernment has been informed that the
Russian emperor has again put aside
all peace suggestions and Is mistaken
in his resolution to continue the war.
All the higher officers of the Far East
ern army recently joined in petition
to Emperor Nicholas not to consider
peace, asking that they be given other
opportunities to show the Quality of
Russian valor ana representing rnat
although they have retreated they and
the army still have the will to fight.
Emperor Nicholas decision had al
ready been taken and the army's APP
peal only added to his conviction that
Russia still had resources of a charac-
ter that would stand some beating be-
fore surrender became necessary.

WORSE THAN LOSING A BATTLE.
Russians Feel keenIy French Refusal
to Float Loan.

Paris, March 1.-THE postponement
of the new Russian loan continues to
occupy attention in official and finan-
cial investment circles. The bankers
take the view that the loan is not a
failure and that an adjustment of the
conditions may still be reached. One
of the bankers who went to st. Pc
tersburg relates that during a con-
versation with M. Witte the latter re-
marked
1--WE can afford to suffer defeat in
Manchuria but not one in Paris"
This is taken to indicate a strong
feeling in st. Petersburg for all possi-
BILE concessions to maintain Russia's
financial position in French market.
The peace movement has gained a
strong impetus by the postponement
of the loan and this leads to reports
that France is adopting discreet means
to induce Russia to accept peace. How
ever, authoritative statements are
made that France has not taken any
action nor has Russia given any indi-
cation OF willingness to discuss L4ace.
Nevertheless unofficial Russian snfiu-
ences appear to be operating to en-
courage peace movements, probably
with the desire to induce Japan to dis
close her minimum condition.
The japanese officials thus far have
not shown a disposition to accept the
view that they should adopt a mag
unanimous attitude towards Russia. On
the contrary they incline to the view
that after their overwhelming defeat
of the Russians at Mukden ii is not OPP
perfume to urge waving an indemnity
or to offer other generous terms which
are the basis of the present French
peace movement.

JESSE {. MCDONALD LIKELY TO
BECOME CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF COLORADO.
REPUBLICANS DECIDE OH A PLAN
PEABODY WILL BE DECLARED
ELECTED AND THEN RESIGN
FROM OFFICE.

Denver, March 17.-Three men may
occupy the chair of chief executive
officer of the state of Colorado within
a single day If the joint legislative
convention ratifies the bargain said
to have been agreed upon b. leaders
of the contending factions In the Re
publican party James FL. Peabody
has agreed to resign Immediately after
being seated as governor and permit
Lieutenant Governor Jesse f. McDon-
aid, who is also a Republican, to sue
ceed TO the governorship. 1t is said
that five of the twenty-five Republican
members of the general assembly who
have agreed not to vote for Peabody
have consented to this compromise.
Their votes, in addition to the forty
four which Peabody previously had,
would give him majority of one on
Joint ballot and when the success of
this scheme is assured it is likely that
some other anti-Peabody Republicans
will fall in line with the majority of
their party.
Governor Adams is being urged by
an element in the Democratic party, 1t
is reported, to refuse to surrender his
office to the lieutenant governor and
to hold possession by force. His
brother, Frank Adams, is police COM
missioner of this city and could fur
nish a strong guard for the governor
should the latter decide to hold on.
Governor Adams has refused to make
any statement as to his intentions, but
it Is generally believed that he will
retire peacefully If the general assem-
bly, declares Governor Peabody elected.
There was full attendance of men,
bers when the joint convention assem-
bled and the galleries were again
crowded Senator Morton Aiexander's
report i'm favor of declaring vacancy
in the office of governor and seating
the lieutenant governor in the gov
ernors chair was withdrawn. The re-
port submitted by Chairman William
I'll. Griffith and three other Republican
members of the contest committee
was next taken up. This report found
that there was much fraud committed
by the Democrats at the election on
Nov. in forty-eight precincts of Den
yer, but that Governor Adams was
legally elected. Representative Griffith
moved it's adoption, but the motion
was lost by vote of IA to 81.
