EInhtIna AII Alone the LIne.

Mukden. March Fighting is in
progress along the whole line, the
japanese attacking everywhere. All
attacks were beaten back, and the
Russians made counter attacks at
many places. On the right flank the
Russians occupied the village of Boa
tatzsi, which is close to Sandiapu, and
from that position hurled hand gren-
ades across the intervening ravine
into the japanese trenches in Sandia-
pu, causing heavy loss and great dis
order.
The Russians have seized the head
Of the bridge across the Shakhe river
in the center of the Japanese lines,
assisted by artillery firing of particular
energy from Putiloff Hill and Nov
gorOd Hill.
The seizure of the railroad bridge
across the Shakhe river was the oc-
casion of a sharp combat. The Rus
slams succeeded in surprising the Jap
anese bridge guards and, reinforced
beat off all attempts of the japanese
to regain possession of it
The japanese are using heavy siege
artillery in the bOmbardment of Putt
loft Hill and Novgorod Hin, and this
is believed to be preliminary to an at
tempt to storm them. The losses to the
defending force are insignificant. The
roar of artillery firing is echoing un-
ceasingly from the mountains to the
eastward to the low fats of the Hun
river valley. the scene of General
Gripenberg's repulse.
The fight appears to be developing
in intensity along the,whole line.
Ten determined attacks opposite
and west of Vanupudzi
were. all repulsed with heavy loss.
The situation on the Russian left
flank is unchanged as compared with
Monday evening.

GENERAL BATTLE
IS NOW RAGING
Japanese Attacking KurOpatkin Along
the Whole Line.
REPULsED AT MANY PLACES

St. Petersburg, March 1. = The
latest news from Manchuria is of the
most important nature, the Associated
Press dispatch from Mukden, which
was transmitted at noon of Tuesday,
Indicating that a general battle was
beginning along the whole of the 100
miles of front occupied by the two
armies. General Kuropatkin appears
to have taken leaf out of Field Mar
shall Oyama's book and replied to Gen
eral KurolIi's attack on the Russian
left by a counter attack on the Japa-
nese left, in which General Kaulbar's
initial success is better for the Rus
SLAMS than the best efforts Of General
Gripenberg, the Russian vanguard be-
ing established at the outskirts Of
Sandiapu. At the same time General
Kuropatkin delivered a blow against
the Japanese center, seizing a railroad
bridge across the Shakhe river. These
reports, therefore, give a more hope
full aspect to the situation, as the Rus
sian army though driven out of Da
Pass, appears to have succeeded in
stopping, at least for the moment, the
further advance of the Japanese east
ward and beaten off the attack on the
center.
The effect Of yesterdays develop
ments on General Kuropatkin's report
ed intention to withdraw from the
Shal1he is problematical. Retirement
in the face of an enemy, which is eX-
tremely hazardous under any circum-
stances, is doubly dangerous when the
armies are graphing in general en-
gagement; but if General Kurold sue
ceeds in rolling up the Russian left
much further the perilous expedient
may become necessary. The counter
strokes on the right and center may
possibly be intended to cover the
Withdrawing of trains and stores. If,
General Kuropatkin is deter
mined to stand and fight out the bat
tie on the line which he has held dur
ing the winter, and if he should be
able to administer a vigorous check |
to General Kuroki, he has secured a |
good position for his second move in
the great game.

ing the past two days have unearthed
20 skeletons, supposed to be the re-

tons bearing the insignia of the Union

1t is the general opinion that the re

the desperate assaults on Missionary

tions are that more skeletons will be

Japanese Saturday achieved a signal
victory over the forces commanded by
Lieutenant General Rennenkampf.
While this victory is important in it.
self it is more so because of the stra-
tegic advantage gained by the Japan
ese. The fighting was over a noun
tainous country between 80 and 45
miles east of Yentai, which is about
Is miles northeast of Liaoyang.
General Kurol1i's infantry again dis
played remarkable qualities as hill
fighters, and proved their superiority
to the famous cavalry of the Russians.
The right of the Japanese winter
position has been near POnchi, extend
ing towards the southeast on the south
Of the Shakhe river and west of the
Taitse river. In the movement a body
of japanese troops which had been ad-
vancing from Ponchi swung around
toward the northeast and swept the
Russians before them.
The principal engagement was
northeast of Tsinkhetchen, where the
Russians held strongly defended en-
trenchments.
The Russians left 2OS dead on the
field there and lost several machine
guns. Their casualties are estimated
at over 1000. On Friday night the
Japanese took Tekiteki Hill, which is

distance northwest of Waitao Noun

OUR HOMERARD way.
BY J. BEE, MILTON, DEL.

As we journey down lifes pad-way,
Tfat is strewn with bloom and flowers,
Making li6e a happy glad-day
Mid the sunshine and the shower;
Let US scatter seeds of kindness,
AS we GO along the way.
To encourage those behind us
In this fiOwery path to stay.
There are briars that will entangle.
Thorns that pierce our wayworn feet;
Snags and stones TO bruise and mangle,
storms and clouds we OF will meet;
II we do not keep the highwsy
Marked by those who've gone before,
And thus stray into the byway,
We are lost forevermore
But as pilgrims seeking heaven,
JOurneying to our home above,
Keep the path by Jesus given,
Purchased by redeeming love;
We shall gain the shining portal
Precious homeland Of the blest,
Crowned and robed his heirs immortal
There forever be our rest
Songs OF praise snd alteration.
To the Lamb that once was slain,
Who has purchased our salvation
BY his agony and pain
And thus made this path to glory
Perfect by the steps he trOd.
Glad hOsanna tell the story,
He will lead us home to God.

MRs. CHADWICK LosEs
Motion to ouash Indictment overruled
BY Court.


Cleveland. March Judge Tayler,
of the United States district court,
overruled the motion of Attorney J. P.
Dawley, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick,
that the two indictments returned
against her by the federal grand jury
on February 21 be quashed.
Mrs. Chadwick in an interview de-
clared that her attorneys would apply
for a change of venue in connection
with her trial in the United States
district court. She said the action
would be taken on the ground that
District Attorney Sullivan, who will
prosecute her case if tried here, is re
lated to Judge Tayler, and that owing
to the strong public feeling existing
against her in this city a fair and un-
prejudiced trial could not be secured.
J. P. Dawley. counsel for Mrs. Chad
wick, referring to the statement made
by his client said that no such step
as indicated by Mrs Chdwick was con-
templated He added that he was sat
isfied to have the case tried before
Judge Tayler, whom he declared he
believed to be fair and impartial.
A government official pointed out
that the federal statutes make no pro
vision for a change of venue in crimi-
nal cases.

Half an hour after George Bostock

confession, q little crowd had gathered
in the ward where he lay, a scared,
weird look in his eyes. his bloodless lips
twitching convulsively. the hand over
coverlet which it plucked in his
spasms of nervousness, his deathlike
face, shining from perspiration in the
flare of the gas.
Seated at table beside the bed was

and triumphant. Headwick not far re-
moved; the house surgeon and Il sister
at the lower end of the room, watchful
and ready to give their services at this
Hateful moment; the former absorbed
in an interest which was centered in
scientific speculation, the latter scared
by the thought that the man she had
attended was Il criminal, and awed by
the spectacle before her.
The silence, scarce broken by the
scratch OF pen, the occasional move
ment of feet, and the painful sound of
oppressive, and the atmosphere which
the ventilator in the high, narrow Win
dow did little to purify, grew heavy.
All present felt the strain and solicit

scene, and We're awed by the almost
palpable presence of approaching
death. This man declared himself to
be the shedder of human blood and
now tardily removed the heavy blame
which had fallen on an innocent

they heard George Coris raise his

selves eagerly upon the solicitor, who,
after seconds pause, took up the

aloud as follows:
