KUR0PATk|N IS W0RSTED
Russians are Hard Pressed by

JAPANESE ARE IN HOT PURSUIT
kuropatkin's Line Along the Shakhe
Is Abandoned and Immense
Stores Burned.

The u. ). State department is
officially informed from Toxic that the
Japanese have achieved great vic
tory before Mukden. and that the
Russian army Is In full retreat. The
casualties are numerous on both
sides.
Advices received at Tokyo indicate
that Gen. Kuropatkin is badly beaten
II the boodiest battle of the pres
ent war.
1t is officially announced that the
Russians began retreating on the
7th. The Japanese armies are pur-
suing them.
A message from Mukden, March
s, says: The Russian army is evacui
ating its position south of Mukden.
A heavy cannonading is in progress
northwest of this city, causing the
walls of houses here to trcmble. An
engagement is in progress at the I'm
perial tombs.
The Japanese are concentrating on
the west front. This may be the last
dispatch out of Mukden, as the tele-
graph line is in danger of being de-
stroyed. The battle is in full pro-
gress.
For ten days the Japanese and
Russian armies in Manchuria have
been engaged in a mighty conflict,
the issue of which has not yet been
reached. Although the most of the
news from the scenes of the battle
comes through Russian sources and
consequently may be supposed to pre-
sent the facts in as favorable light
as possible for the Russian arms, 1t
is evident that the Japanese made some
gains yesterday.
ST. Petersburg has an unofficial re-
port that Gen. Kuropatkin's center
has been broken, and that IS siege
guns have fallen into the hands of
the Japanese. These guns, which are
of six and eight-incl caliber, were
given permanent emplacement on
the line Of the railroad north of
Shakhe station, the fact evidencing
the confidence of the Russians that
the Japanese could not penetrate
thither.

That the battle of Mukden will go
down in history with Lao Yang in
the long list of Russian defeats is the
almost universal belief in pessimistic
st. Petersburg, which has forgotten
the meaning of the word victory.
The war office does not admit that
the issues of the great battle, which
already exceeds in magnitude of
operations and losses that of Shakhe,
has been decided, although it is
positively stated in high quarters
that Kuropatlin has telegraphed to
Emperor Nicholas that it will be i'm
possible to hold Mukden and that the
withdrawal of the army northward
has already been begun.
Nothing from Gen. Kuropatkin
later than Monday has been given out.
but advices to st. Petersburg news
papers and dispatches to the Asso-
ciated Press at o'clock last night,
indicate that the position of the Rus
sian army after a day of furious and
unprecedented fighting, is desperate,
but not absolutely hopeless, some
Russian correspondents even pre-
dicating a Russian victory soon, and
one affirming that the extreme jap
anese left has already begun to retire
southwark. Everything probably now
depends on Gen. Kuropatkin's reserve.

TROUBLE OVER PROPOSITION TO
ADMIT RAILROADS.
WESTERN MEN IN OPPOSITION
Charge Railways With Being Respon-

Raisers-Packers Will Probably Ra
Allowed Representation.

Denver Jan. IA hot fight has
broken out in the ranks OF the Ma,
tional Live Stock association over the
question of whether or not railroads
and packers are to have representa-
ton on the governing board Of the
association. President Frank Hagen.
barth is in favor of the plan and has
urged it strongly. There is a. heavy
contingent of stockmen, particularly
those from the west, who are bitterly
opposed to the idea and they are max
ing the fight of their lives to keep
the management of their organization
solely in the hands of men who are
actively engaged in the handling or
care of stock. These men assert that
the railroads and packers have, by
working together. deprived the west.
ern stockmen Of good prices for their
cattle. that their interests are not
identical with those of the stock
breeders, and they should not be al.
lowed to have voice In the manage
ment of the affairs of the stockmen.
The advocates OF the plan to admit
the railroads and the packers declare
that their admission does not mean
that they will work against the inter-
ests Of the stockmen, but on the con-
trary that the wider the scope OF the
and that differences will disappear in
community of interest. When the
plan of reorganization which will ad-
NIT the railroads and packers was
proposed at the convention, 1t was re-
ferred to committee of three from
each industry affiliated in any way
with the raising of live stock. These
committees met as whole and will
report today to the convention.
The probability is that the railroads
will be denied representation on the
board OF control. The general COM
mittee, composed of the officers of the
various branches Of the live stock in
| dustry, could not reach an agreement.
The feeling against the admission of
the railroads was very strong and
the discussion grew SO animated that
it was thought best to adjourn with
out action. The packers and all other
| allied industries will probably be ad-
mitted and the railroads will be left
| out.
