SURGEONS Kan Out oil Bandages.

Mukden, March 8.-No news was re-
ceived today from the Russian eastern
army.
Throughout yesterday the Japanese
attacked from the west and northwest.
The Russian division on the extreme
right was hard pressed and during the
night the pressure of the Japanese who
were reinforced and who placed an ad-
ditional battery in position became so
great that the division had to retire.
The adjoining division on it's left al
so retired The night did not pass qui-
city. There was heavy rifle fire and
the japanese during the night blew up
the huts in that part of the village of
Ushuntun occupied by them at night
fall. They then retired
This morning matters generally were
quiet in that quarter
During the fighting yesterday General
Kaulbars. decorated with his own cross
of St George, a sharpshooter named
Ivan Barkoff who though wounded in
the right arm, declined to go to the rear
and have it bandaged. General Kaul-
bars on ascertaining that Barkoff had
previously been twice wounded at the
battle of Lao Yang and at the Shakhe
river, dismounted, kissed the man and
pinned his cross on Barkoff's breast.
The fighting on the right flank was
so severe that yesterday the supply of
bandages was exhausted and the sur
geons were so fatigued that they were
scarcely able to hold their instruments.
The weather was warm today.

tomorrow The attorneys for the Santa
Fe held that through a technicality,
service was not made upon the COM
pany and at 1 o'clock Mr.. Robert Dun
lap had not given out his decision as to
whether he would participate in the
taking of the dispositions of shippers
and oil producers at independence.
Mr.. Black on the Stand.
In the Santa Fe inquiry late
Wednesday afternoon, w. J. Black,

prosecution tried to secure informa-
ton that the Western Passenger as
sociation is a trust and that the Santa
however, explained that the Western
Passenger association is a. sort of clear
ing house for the PRONUNCIATION of
rates, excursion tickets and like in
formation, and for the clearing of
coupon and interchangeab mileage
These interchangeable mica c
tickets, which were demanded by
travelling men. Mr. Black explained,
were good on any OF the roads named
on them in the territory designated,
and they were cleared by a mutual
agreement among the roads.
When asked what he meant by the
PRONUNCIATION of rates, Mr.. Black ex-
excursion, for instance, was proposed,
it was necessary to notify each of the
competitive roads separately. Now
the chairman of the Western associa-
tion is notified and he attends to the
rest.
why do you notify your COM
petitors when you propose to run an
excursion ?" asked f. S. MDnett.
so that they can meet it if they
want to- said Mr.. Black.
sWhy is that2N
$50 that the other roads will treat
us the same way, said Mr.. Black.
LAS an example: Suppose in today s
paper we should see an advertisement
that the Rock Island proposes to
make an excursion rate from Kansas
City to Wichita tomorrow for some
special occasion, and that is our first
intimation of it. It is too late for us
to meet it and we lose a lot of busi-
ness. In order to deal fairly all
around the roads have found it best
to notify their competitors in advance
when they propose an excursion rate
Mr.. Black explained that the Trans
Continental Passenger association is
similar to the Western association.
except that it deals only with Pacific
coast business and is composed of
roads interested in that.

STUBS HAS QUIT.
Did Har.rinlan's Traffic Director Sign
Secret Agreement With Morton?

Omaha, March 9.-It was stated
positively this afternoon at the Union
Pacific headquarters in this city that
the resignation of J. c. Stubbs, traffic
director of all the Hartman lines. had
been handed in.
The resignation is believed to be the
direct result of the discovery of the
secret traffic agreement between the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe,
which was signed by Mr.. Stubbs. on
behalf of the Southern Pacific. and by
Paul Morton. now secretary OF the
navy. on behalf of the Santa Fe. 1t
is understood here that E. c. Eckles.
vice president and traffic manager Of
the American Smelling & Refining
company, has been appointed to sue
ceed Mr.. Stubbs.

made itself felt and much of Davis
ma jority in that district must be ac-
credited to him. That at least was
the talk of the gossips who were hold
ing post mortems over the primary at
the polling places while the votes were
being counted.
The primary was probably one of
the most quiet and peaceful ever held
in the city of Topeka. No bitterness
manifested itself in any way, shape or
form at any of the many polling
places over the city. Not a single in
stance of disturbance, fighting or dis
orderly conduct was reported to the
police or county officers.

KURoPATKIN's sun HAS SET.
He Will No Longer Command the
N1nachurian Armies.

NIlstclufIan armies.
ST. Petersburg, March 9.-The battle
of Mukden has resulted in a Russian
defeat
Field Marshal Oyama has once more
proved himself one of the greatest mas
ters of offensive strategy since Napo-
leon, while General Kuropatkin is now
engaged in endeavoring to defend his
title as a master of successful retreats
and bring off his army, with immense
train safely to Tie Pass, where posi-
tion was long ago prepared with this
contingency in view The problem be-
fore the Russian commander is much
more difficult than the one he met sue
cessfully at Lao Yang, since now he is
threatened on both fanks, his left wing
being entangled in a mountainous re-
gion far from the railroad. Neverthe-
less, Russian military men here express
fair degree of confidence in General
Kuropatkin's ability once more to ex-
tricate his army and avoid a Russian
Sedan.
Beside his skill in rear guard action
they base their hopes on the physical
condition of the Japanese soldiers, who
though they are conceded to be the
greatest marchers in the world are well
nigh exhausted by their strenuous en-
deavors of the last fortnight
Only to the initiated is the news of
the reverse positively known at this
time. Emperor Nicholas and high mill
tary officers of course were informed by
Gen. Kuropatkins telegram of Tues

the beginning of the withdrawal as they
appeared in portions of the officials
dispatches given out yesterday Last
evening a newspaper contained a vague
report of doubtful origin, credited to
Chinese sources, but the first positive
statement was derived from the Asso-

which was quickly telegraphed to
many liberals from friends abroad. The
report probably viii not be printed in

The campaign was marked by an
entire absence of mud singing be-
tween candidates. and that may have
been in large measure responsible
for the harmonious condition of things
yesterday.
There was little challenging, and
most of this was because the voter
had made a mistake in finding his
proper voting place. As an instance
of this, three men came to the police
station polling place on Wednesday
afternoon to vote They eat their
meals at a Kansas avenue restaurant
in the Fourth ward and thought con-
sequently that is where they voted

There were no charges of repeating

Denver March 9.-James Herbert,
vice president of the Colorado &
Southern railroad, is indignant at the
action of the legislature bribery in
vestiga ting committee in failing to
hear his witnesses and report prompt

Bergundthal Lost Home Ward

About the most surprised people in
the CITY on Wednesday night were the
residents of North Topeka because
Nfayor Bergundthal did not carry ms
own ward. but still more because ne
did not carry his own precinct, the
third. which he lost by % votes.
1t was generally conceded by the
north siders that Bergundthal would
have his hands full to win among MS
own neighbors, but it was scarcely
even hinted at that he might lose
Consequently the jolt was all the more
severe when the tallies were counted
IN and it was seen that he was being
beaten right at home.
The fight on the north side was
made quietly. But one precinct Lne
fourth. gave him a majority At that
pIace the board was clearly a. Ber-
Fundthal crowd, for its surprise when
notified of the way in which things
we're going in the other three precincts
was sufficient to interrupt the counting
for exclalnations of surprise ana Ques-
tions concerning the cause
In the Second ward the result on
the mayoralty fight was foregone
conclusion Councilman c. K Holh-
day was out in full force fighting Tor
Davis and he ''cut ice" Some gossip
was afoat that Councilman Griley had
also taken a hand in Davis favor. but
Griley is a Democrat and kept out OF
the scrap. He was seen in the after
noon and asked about the rumor. He
replied: II have been in my shop all
day, and don't know a thing about 1t.
This is not my fight
But Holidays tremendous influence
