sfciency.

ority. A conference report on the bill
prohibiting the selection of timber
lands in lieu of lands in forest reserves

Japs Succeed at Center.

One Of General Kuropatkin s staff
officers said to the Associated Press:
Y "Oyama's strategy is to break the
center and then inclose the wings and
compel a demoralized retreat; but till
now the Japanese attacks against the
center have been only measurably sue
cessful.
ssSan-lin- pou, which is the key to
our position on the right flank, was
the scene of awful carnage last night.
The japanese concentrated on it the
fire Of over hundred guns and then
attacked with the bayonet. According
to the reports coming in they were re-
pulsed, and in counter attack we cap
tured seven machine guns"
