CAN'T BE TITLED AND AMERICAN.
Bill for Restoration of Citizenship Of
Yankee Girls.

The senate Saturday considered the
bill regulating the restoration to citi-
zenship of American women who have
married foreigners.
Mr.. Nelson said the bill was intended
to apply to women of this country
who married abroad and who were
divorced or whose husbands may have
died.
Mr.. Depew said it was not the in
tention of the bill to confine it to
widows and divorced women, but to
all women who have foreign husbands.
The woman suffragists and the ladies
of the American league, he said, took
exception to the fact that women lost
their citizenship by marrying foreign
er while men did not.
Mr. Hepburn suggested and Mr.. Nc
Cumber offered an amendment requir-
ing women taxing advantage of the
provisions of the proposed law to re-
nounce all titles of nobility which they
may have acquired and it was agreed
to.

Toxic, Jan. 17-Several papers here
report that General Mistchenko's raid
ing party of 1000 Cossacks has been
cut off by a force of 5000 japanese,
southeast of Newchwang, and that a
furious battle is raging in that region.
This news is contained In lengthy
dispatches from the front, which tell
in great detail that General Oku had
been kept informed of the activity of
the Cossacks and that he waited until
the various raiding forces had been
concentrated. A Japanese mt.ed force
of nearly 10000 men, mostly cavalry
and light artillery, was held in readi-
ness at Sunlihem, and of these 5000
we're dispatched to the relief of New
chwang and Newchiatun so soon as 1t
had become evident that the enemy's
force was gathered at these places.
The transport of troops developed
into g most perilous undertaking. The
Russians had torn up the railroad four
miles south of .,ewchwang and the
two trains bearing the Japanese
troops became stalled at that point.

the remainder of his force to the break
in the line.
A furious fire from field guns was d.
rected against the trains and the en-
gineering party which had been sent
to repair the road. and a fierce engage
ment ensued. Witt a long drawn out
line the Japanese commander met the
Russians, covering the operations of
the engineers successfully, and when
the work had finally been completed,
the trains were rushed through a hail
of shrapnef fire.
Sixty-two Russians were killed and
IL wounded, the japanese only losing
10 men killed and II wounded.
General Mistchenko withdrew his
force to a considerable distance and
then prepared for a counter attack.
He was evidently ignorant of the
relieving party for he suddenly chang
ed his plans and made an attempt to
retreat when he obtained accurate in
formation.
The correspondents add that the re-
treat will be cut off and that more re-
Inducements are arriving.
The attack upon Newchwang and
Newchiatum occurred on Thursday
last. Three desperate charges were
made against the towns. several points
being attacked at the same time. 1t

cities, for small parties of Russians
were observed towards evening with

Cannot Understand.

London.-The correspondent at Port
Arthur of the Times says:
The total number of soldiers. sea
men and civilians in Port Arthur at
the beginning Of the siege was $4,000.
There are no signs OF privation. There
was food sufficient for two months, and
the surrender of the i,ussian garrison
is inexplicable.
The Daily Nails Toxic correspon-
dent gives a statement to the effect
that all the money in Port Arthur was
divided among the Russian officers and
when this was discovered a bitter feel
ing arose between army and navy
which feeling was largely responsible
for the fall of the fortress.

trunk which had been concealed in a
