Russo-JAPANEsE WAR.

1t is officially announced from st.
Petersburg that Gen. Kuropatkin will
be replaced by Gen. Linevitch as com
mander- in chief of the Manchurian
army. Tie Pass, which was held by
about a division of Russian troops, is
now in possession of the Japanese.
After a slight resistance the Russians
evacuated the strong positions they
had prepared months ago, setting fire
TO the railway station and other build
ings.
Dispatches from the front announ-
ces that Gen. Linevitch has assumed
command and that Gen. Kuropatkin
was departing for st. Petersburg. The
Russians are losing heavily in the
rear guard actions and Japanese col
umns are reported to be pushing
northward as fast as possible to com
plete the development of the Russian
forces.
The Japanese detachment, continu-
ing its advance north, pursued the
enemy to Kaiyuen (some 20 miles
north of Tie Pass. Kaiyuen has been
evacuated by the enemy. The Rus
sian retreat becomes more disorgan-
lied daily.
The latest dispatches from Man
churia indicate that the retreat of the
Russian army is being conducted un-
eventually. The last few days were
unmarked by any fighting of serious
nature.

London, March 22.-The Daily

reconciliation with France and that
Emperor William is desirous of get
ting on terms of closest friendship

most opportune to arrive at such an
understanding, the Japanese
war having entirely changed the po-
litical situation

SHORT SALARY AND
NO FEES FACE DAY
Morgan Blocks Plan to Have
New Law Take Effect
In 1907

The personal feelings that certain
senators entertain toward the present
private secretary of the governor col
ored the discussion that ensued yester-
day over Senator Coles bills-one rails
ing the salary of the position from
$500 to $4,000 a year and the other re-
quiring the private secretary to pay TO
the state treasury all fees received by
him for issuing commissions TO notaries
public.
The bill raising the annual salary
from 81 500 to $500 was the first on
the calendar. Its author, Senator Cole,
was allowed by unanimous consent to
amend the bill by providing ii should
not take effect until Jan. 1, 1907, so that
it would not apply to the present in
cumbent during the term for which he
was appointed. Nobody interposing an
objection, the amendment was adopted
and the bill placed on Its passage. 1t
was passed by a vote OF "a to 8, Sem
ators Calhoun, Horton and Morgan vot-
ing against the measure.
Senator Putnam withdrew his oppo-
sition to the amendment of Senator
Cole, and in explanation said he did not
do so out Of any personal consideration
for the present secretary, who had
persistently reviled him." nor did he
believe in turning the other cheek for
a slap after he had been struck once.
He would support the bill as matter
of policy of the Republican party.
The amendment was then adopted by
a vote of 10 to 10.
The companion bill by Senator Cole,
requiring the governors private secre-
tary TO turn over the fees of his office
to the state treasury, met with trouble
when a similar amendment was offered,
providing that it should not take effect
until June z.
Senator Morgan spoiled any prospect
of unanimous consent by objecting to
the amendment.
When taken to task by Senator Cole,
who intimated that the senator from
Freeborn was inconsistent in opposing
the measure, as he had not objected to
the same change in the first bill, Sen
ator Morgan retorted:
ION the contrary, IT is because I am
consistent that / want to kill this bill,
as l wanted TO kill the other bill"
Senator Cole was about to move a
suspension of the rules in order to offer
his amendment when the time for the
special order-the Perley bill-arrived,
and the matter was dropped, leaving
the Cole bill still on the calendar.
Should the first bill, fixing the salary
at $4,000 after Jan. /, 1907, and the
second bill, requiring the secretary TO
turn over his fees to the state after
Jan. !, 1906, both become laws, Secre-
tary Day would draw only $500 for
the wear 1906
