WHERE FIGHT WAS BLooDIEsT
Troops Stumble Over Corpses Un-
buried for DAYS.

MUkDEN-The Japanese last night
pushed up from the south cross the
abandoned plain between the Shakhe
and Hun rivers and are, as this dis
patch is filed. about five miles south
Of the latter and from the Hun, oppO-
site Machiapu, and northward Japa-
nese batteries are pouring in a cease
less fire.
The Japanese succeeded in emniac-
ing siege guns and mortars at Dius-
hantun, about six miles west of this
city, whence they opened fire before
dawn.
Diushantun was the scene yester-
day of the bloodiest and most desper-
ate fighting of all this terrible battle.
It's possession vas vital to the Jap
anese who stormed it again and again.
The Russians d~islodged them but the
Japanese finally r~ecaptured the vii
lage after much hand to hand fighting.
Eye witnesses say the dead. scat
tered in the streets. court yards and
houses have been unburied four days.
Rifles and other arms lie about
wrenched and twisted. Hand %grenades
were thrown by the Japanese and the
garrison was subjected to the concen-
trated fire of as many as a hundred
guns. Once Diushantun in their hands,
the Japanese can train guns on Muk-
den railroad station and it has been
held at a frightful cost. The japanese
are also concentrating their efforts
about sever miles north Mukden and
about five miles west of the railroad
with the object of breaking through
and cutting off the surrounding troops
below.

GOES AGAINST Mr.. BRYAN
Supreme Court Rules in Opposition TO
His Claim.

HARTFORD, Conn.-The supreme
court of Connecticut handed down a
decision in the Philo s. Bennett will
case, in which w. J. Bryan has fig
ured as beneficiary to the extent of
$4,000 as provided in a sealed let
ter" left by Mr.. Bennett. and finds
no error. The decision uphOlds the
superior court, which rendered judg-
ment to the effect that the clause in
Mr.. Benefits will containing the par
agraph in regard to the $4,000 to be
left to Mr.. Bryan is imperative and
that the said fund is the part of a
residuary estate.
Mr.. Bryan appealed from this de-
cisiOn and the result is as previously
stated. The superior court. having
held that the sealed letter" was no
part of the will. the only question to
decide on was its contents as tesla
mentary document, Clause II of the
will leaves $4,000 to Mrs. Bennett in
trust with no purpose. while the seal
ed letter says that the money is left
to William J. Bryan. The supreme
court holds that the superior court is
right in deciding that the clause is
imperative.

PLAN TO SEAT ALVA ADAMS

Twenty. Two Republicans Combine
With Democrats TO End Contest.
DENVER-A plan for ~disposing OF
the contest over the governOrship and
retaining Adams in the chair was an
nOunced Wednesday night by the
Adams supporters. 1t is to be brought
about by the aid of certain republi-
ans. thought they will not be re-
quired to vote directly to seat Adams.
According to the claims of the Adams
people they have secured the sigma
lures of twenty-five republican men,
bers of the legislature to an agree
ment to vote down all three reports
in the contest committee. With the
thirty-one members who it is reported
will act with the republicans above
mentioned the result will be a major
ity of four. By defeating all three re-
ports the effect will be to allow
Adams to retain his seat. On the other
hand, the Peabody republicans claim
that they have forty-siX pledged to
stand together for Peabody and that
this pledge was made at last nights
caucus. A steering committee was
named and instructed to use every eff
fort to keep before the joint assembly
the Alexander report in favor of seat
ing Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald
and ignoring the claims of both Adams
and Peabody. They hope in this way
to eventually win away enough of the
Mcdonald men to give a majority for
Peabody.

FOR CONSIDERATION
BY THE THOUGHTFUL,
A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.

During the early portion of Febru-
airy, of this year, the middle and
Western States suffered severely with
the intense cold and winters storms.
Trains were delayed, cattle suffered,
and there was much general hardship.
While this was the case, throughout
Western Canada, now attracting so
much attention, the weather was per
feet.
One correspondent writes, eve are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church with
cut top coats, while the ladies require
no heavier outer clothing than that
afforded by light Jackets. In contrast
with this it is interesting to read in a
st Paul paper of 18th February the
following, in double head lines, and
