A GREAT BATTLE.

The old axiom that there is nothing new under the sun has received its quietus in the disastrous battle just fought in the vicinity of Mukden. Never has the world witnessed such a Titanic struggle; never have two such gigantic armies hurled themselves at each other so recklessly and braved the deadly rain of the modern rifle with such utter disregard of life; nev- CT have two such hosts faced each other, possessing such perfect ma chinery for the destruction of human life, fiendish iH its awful perfection, and horrible in its dreadful execu- tion.
 One has to hark back to the days when Alexander, the Roman, went forth on his world conquering march to get any parallel to the numerical strength of the armies now engaged. But how different are the conditions. Then, indeed, the battle was to the strong and the race to the swift; now men are moved about like chessmen, and a great deal, though not all, of the result depends on geheralship and tactics. Then men met and fought hand to hand with axe and javelin; now the long distance rife and gun are the important factors.
 It is stated on what seems to be fairly reliable authority that the total loss of the Russians will amount to over 100, 900 men or forty per cent of all engaged in battle; while the Japs will have sacrificed about half that n1mber to secure victory. Compari son with other great battles in modern history will show the appalling results of the fighting that has taken place around Mukden. In the recent battle of kiao Yang the combined loss was B, 900 men; at Gettysburg, Fin the civ il war, 44,OOO; Gravelotte, Prussian war, 62, 900; Sedan, 47,0OO; Waterloo, BLOOD.
 The battle of Mukden lasted for
  that it will proceed as fiercely as ever between the retreating army of Kuro patkin and the Japanese aggregation ! under General Kuroki which is stated I t. be numerically very great, and i which was sent north of Tie pass to | intercept the defeated Russians, and | turn their retreat either into a whole sale surrender, or a disastrous and scattered rout.
 The words of Kuropatkin, telegraph ed to St. Petersburg: "All our ar mics are retreating," convey a world of meaning, and require little analy- sis. The same message was sent from Liao Yang, and from the other diass- trous fields in Manchuria where the Russian general fought and lost. The public have become reeonciled to Rus sian defeat, and take it as a matter of course. The average man on the street will be found to entertain the opinion that Kuropatkin's army would be beaten even If it retreated and forti- fled itself at the very gates of St. Pe- ter sburg.
 There seems good ground for this belief, and this being so, it is difficult to see what Russia can accomplish by prolonging the war. It is sincerely to be hoped that the recent battle will be the last iD this awful struggle, and that the world will in the future be spared the spectacle ot such fearful combat as that which has just taken place around the walls of Mukden.

D0lNGS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The bill prepared by the attorney
 general and submitted to the legisla
 ture by Governor Kibbey for its con
 sideration which provides for calling
 special election on the question q jCint statehood was introduced in tht
 house and passed by that body, tn,
 date being left blank to be fixed by
 the governor in his proclamation.
 Neal. of CoconinO county, introduc
 ed freight and fare bill in the house | 1t reduces railroad fares to four cents
 per mile and makes a reduction ol
 about fifty per cent on existing freight
 rates. This has been a dem lcratiC
 campaign measure, the same as state
 hood ever since railroads were built in Arizona and such a measure is in-
 troduced in every legislature, but it
 has never been considered seriously
 by any of them. The postponement
 of its introduction until so near the close of the session is evidence that its author does not expect to secure its passage, but can return to his con- stituents and point with pride to the effort he made in the matter.
 The judiciary committee of the house reported favorably the new cir cult court bill and that body is on record now of putting in motion, measures for two additional court sys- tens for the territory. It was expect ed that the new measure would pass the house yesterday, so that if the council passes both bills, lawyers will be in demand in Arizona, as these two court systems will cause a heavy drain on the present number in the territory to fill the positions of judges, and will leave a shortage of practitioners.
 Cochise county has tax comprom- ise case similar to that of YavapaI. It is one in which the board of supervi- sors of that county compromised a tax suit with the Copper Queen com pany. Judge Neville, a member of the house from that county is after the board with concurrent resolu- ton asking the governor to order an of the settlement be- tween the board of Cochise county and the Copper Queen whereby the most of the taxes assessed against the con- pany for 1901 were related. The reso- lution was sent to the judiciary con- mittee and will probably be favorably reported. The bill passed by the house, providing for a territorial pub 1 lie examiner, was passed by the coun- cil after being amended by taking | away from that official the duty of ex- banks, savings and loan asso- citations. The house concurred in the and the measure, now onlv awaits Governor Kibby's sigma 5ure to it to become law.
 The governor vetoed the bill requir- ing teachers to take examination for and other infectious di- 'eases. The governor stated that he vas not opposed to the purpose of the pill but he said that. it's terms were so 7ague that he did not believe the ob- ect sought by it would be attained The bill may be doctored and passed gain by the legislature.
 4 house bill relating to the trial by ix jurors in courts of justices of the 'eace was indefinitely postponed in he council and a bill authorizing tuna county to issue bonds to build
 court house was passed by that Dody.
