The manufacturers therefore will not be quite treasured until Sunday has gone by. but they remain confident of the ability of the troops to put down dis. turbances. This confidence combined with the announcement that the Min ister of Finance is studying the state ment of the mems grievances explains the decision of the manufacturers' meeting not to make collective conces- sions.

 st. Petersburg. Jan.2s.--t2:20 q. m.)- The news of General Kurcpstkinsn successful rspuise of the Japanese ad- vance comes most opportuneiy. The belief exists here that Field Marshal oyama sought to take advantage of any depression prevailing in the Rus sian ranks as the result of the news from St Petersburg to launch an at tack against General Kuropatkfn's right, but the Russian commander-ln- chief seems to have nicely turned the tables, infiicting considerable loss upon the Japanese on Thursday and taking several positions westward along the plain of the Hun River.
 Evidently General Kuropatixln is foi- lowing up his victory. the latest dis- patch to the Associated Press from the front. dated ?. nls January 2I. indi~ eating that there Is a battle in prog ress along the centre and becoming more and more serious.

 "'Yes." responded MT. spooner. and he added:
 /.Utah ought not to have been admit ted into the Union. but once admitted on an equality with other States. Con gress has no more power to deal with polygamy there than it has to deal with burglary there."
 Mr Gailinger. admitted that the pro- hibition proposition had It's difficulties but said he hoped some way would be found of protecting the Indians against the indiscriminate use of intoxicants.
 Mr. Bailey contended that under the constitution no such discrimination was permissible. He exprested the opinion that the statehood bill would pass in some form.

 The Maryland is the fourth and last of a type of fast cruisers to have a trial over Cape Ann. Cf the three which have preceded. the Pennsylvania. the speediest, averaged n speed of 22.455 knots an hour 1t cannot be said, however, at this time that the Penn sylvania Is queen of the class. for 1t was unoficialIy announced by the trial board today that the tidal corrections for the Maryland are in the ships fav- or by from ii tou1s one-hundreths of q knot If this tidal correction is over o12l of knot the Maryland will become the holder of the speed record for the class.

 The Maryland's trial was attended by circumstances of unusual, interest, as her builders endeavored to prove her the speediest of the four cruisers of this type. The trial was regarded as most successful. particularly with reference to the general sea behavior, the warship showing herself remarka- bly, steady under the severe winter conditions
 The trial course extended from Thatchers Island off Gloucester to Cape Porpoise, a distance of forty four knots. and the run was out and return, eighty-eight knots.

The Russians not only fought ofr the attack. after severe fighting. but ad- vanced in the evening to the line of Hugoudi and Hounlitadxy.
 Throughout the night and today the artillery was at work, the cannonading constantly increasing in strength and extending further along the center, be- coming fiorcer every minute.

REPORT OF WRIGHT.
Result of His Investigntaen of Colo
 radO Strike Troubles.

radO Strike Troubles.
 Washington. Jan. 27-President Roosevelt sent to the Senate today the report of Carroll D. Wright com missioner of labor. on the strike trou- bles in Colorado. The report gives an entire history of the labor troubles In that State together with all the that has passed be- tween the President with the depart ment of justice; the department of commerce and labor. Governor Pea made by Commissioner Wright and pamphlets by various parties connec- ted with the strike.
 Commissioner Wright says there can be no doubt the cause of the strike was to establish the Western Feder- ation of Miners In the smelters, inciud- ing reduction and refining mills as II already been established in the mines.
 In summing up the situation the commissioner said:
 'Tawlessness has accompanied the strike as a labor weapon and 1t has accompanied the actions of the al- legged law and order element as a weapon against the strikers.
 'sThe faults in the organizations of the unions by allowing strikes to be determined by a committee instead of by referendum. and the faults In the organization Of the citizens ai- liance, by allowing irresponsible mobs to represent 1t, have disturbed the peace of the counties of Colorado in which the conflict has been waged to such an extent that people outside of Colorado wonder If there Is any law or any law-abiding citizen in that State. It Is a fact, however, that order Is being restored for there is third party now interested, which is claiming the adherence of the best eie- ments in Colorado, and 1t is insisting that deportations by the Western Fed eration of Miners or under instruc- tions Of the mine owners association. or citizens alliance shall cease
 The commissioner says the injuIic- tion granted recently by the United State Court to prevent interference with the return of deported miners may bring up the whole question of the right to deport. or whether de- portation is a crime under State or Federal laws
 '"The strike, as strike, Is practi- cailyE over." he says, and adds that the character of tho mob which con- ducted the ideportation has opaned the eyes of the people of Colo rado and of the country. Another wholesale deportation, he says, proh- ably never will occur in the unhappy history of the troubles in that state 2

Russian Artillery Active AIong ths
 Whole Line


 General Kurokl's Headquarters, Jan. 27.-Regular Manchurian weather pre- walls tonight, intense cold with cutting winds and swirls of snow Sounds of battle were heard at intervals along the entire front this morning. The Russian artillery was feeling the whole Japanese line
 It is uncertain if this win bring on general engagement or not The Jap anese guns refrained from replying to the Russians except on the left where the fighting. which ceased at dark yes- terday. was renewed this morning. The clouds and snow made it impossible to see more than a few hundred feet away.
 If the Russian operations were pres liminary to a general attack. as app pears possible their plans were frus- trated by the storm and fog. The hardships of the soldiers, camping on the plains. where there is no shelter or fuel. and but little water. are tho worst yet encountered in this war.

Vatican Moderately Pleased.

Rome, Jan. 27.-Premier Rouvier'S statement of the policy of the new French cabinet has produced a moder- ately favorable impression at the Vati- can, as 1t Is construed as indicating that the course of the French Govern ment towards the religious associations will be less harsh than that under the Combes cabinet. At the same time 1t is believed thai when the time comes for general elections, Catholics will be directed to support the more moderate element of the majority in order to defeat Socialist candidates and that by this means the Government will be in- duced to adopt a more favorable atti- tude towards the church. This, 1t is pointed out, would be an attempt to repeat in France the policy followed successfully in Italy during the gen. eral elections last spring.
