AGAINST DIVORCE REFERENCES.
Justice Scott Hereafter Will Not Grant
Them. Except Under Stricter Conditions

Justice Scott, Of the Supreme Court made rule
yesterday that. far as he was concerned no ref
erence orders in divorce actions would be granted
in future on the consent of the PARTIES to the
suit unless satisfactory evidence submitted
showing that the defendant whose consent
alleged to been obtained had authorized and
retained the counsel whose consent for the de-
fendant appeared the papers.
Justice Scott says
I have reason to believe that in many in
which orders of reference made upon such con-
sents the actions prove, when they get before the
referee, to be actually undefended.

| NOT A DECISIVE DISASTER
RUSSIAN WAR OFFICE ADMITS
kUROPATkIN SUFFERED A
BLOODY DEFEAT.

st. Petersburg, March 10.-The gen.
eral staff officers can furnish no clear
explanation Of the exact situation at
Mnkden, declining to make public any
details beyond those contained in the
official dispatches.
The atmosphere OF the war Office is
Intensely gloomy. The officials admit
that General Kuropatlsin- has suffered
bloody defeat, bur they insist that it
is not a decisive disaster. Their ex-
planation OF the dispatches OF Generals
Kuroparkin and Sallharoff reporting
fighting on the north front is that
they refer to japanese attempts to
break through the Russian line screen
ing the communications with Tie pass,
but the public regards it as an ac-
knOWleugment that General Nogi has
already severed the Russian line OF
Communications and enclosed at least
portion OF General Bilderling's army
which was bringing up the rear. The
dispatches OF the Associated Press
show beyond doubt that General Nogi
has actually succeeded in reaching the
railroad, although it was specifically
affirmed that the line was repaired and
reopened. 1t is possible that this TEN.
porary interruption may have caused
the Toxic report.
The most important known develop
ment OF the day is the report that &
flying Japanese column has appeared
northeast of Mukden and is heading
rapidly west. This probably is part OF
General Kuroki's army, which is MAX
inc detour by forced marches and
swinging around to effect a juncture
with General Nogi. If the maneuver
succeeds the net will be closed.
It is said here that General Kuropat-
kin with his headquarters staff is now
at Fankiatung station, on the railroad
ten miles below Tie pass.
The general staff admits that the
carnage in the battle will probably ex-
ceed anything in modern warfare, al
though the staff officers insist that the
japanese must have sustained the
heaviest losses. The Russians be-
lieve they surely will reach $4,000.

lodged the enemy iron HIS losltiU44,
pressing his force towards the Hun

| "Trhe whole district west of the rail
road and south OF the Hun river is in
our hands.
"On the right bank of the Hun river
the operations continue.
The enemy in the neighborhood of
Yangshihtun and Likuanpao still
makes a stubborn resistance. The en-
elny made several counter attacks but
we repulsed them, infiicting loss. Our
force is now pressing the enemy to-
ward Mukden.
I'm the district north of Mukden, de-
spite the enemy's obstinate resistance,
we have occupied Siaochitun, FIVE
miles northwest of Mukden; Pachiat-
zu, two miles northeast OF 5iaochitun,
and santaitse, five miles north OF Muk-
den. Our force destroyed the railroad
north Of Mukden.

JhPS ATTACK FROM NORTH
MAKE SEVERAL FIERCE Attack
ON RETREATING RUSSIANS
ABOVE MUkDEN.

St. Petersburg, March 10.-The gen
eral staff has received the following
dispatch from General Sakharoff, Gen
eral kuropatkin's chief Of staff:
Several fierce attacks On our north
front were made during the night
They were all repulsed.
In other directions the night was
quiet
General Sakharoff's S reference to the
Russian north front would seem tc
indicate that a japanese force is be
tween Mullden and Tie pass. Though
the Japanese may have cut the tele
graph lines along the railroad it is
possible that field telegraph lines have
been run between Fushun, where Ku
ropatkin may have his headquarters
and Tie pass, thus accounting for the
seeming conflict in the adyices from
Toxic and ST. Petersburg regarding
the severance of the Russian line OF
communications.
