LONE TREE HILL THE KEY.
Eighty Thousand Men Engaged |
 Desperate Struggle Near Mukden.

. Eighty Thousand Men Engaged In
 Desperate Struggle Near Mukden.
 LONDON, March 2. - A Sachetun (Nianchuria) dispatch says that the Japanese last night opened tremen. dous fire with field and siege guns against Poultiloff U.one Tree) hill. Columns of white smoke envelop the bill on two sides.
 Poutiloff hill is a position of vital importance, judging from the fact that the Japanese since the Russians cap- tured it in October last have made a great many attempts to obtain posses. sion of 1t.
 It is believed that at present S00.000 men are engaged in the operations near Mukden, the battle line extending about 100 miles. The fighting Is grow ing in intensity, and the outcome Is anxiously awaited here because of the effect it's result must have on the con- tjnuance of the war.
 Every one seems to appreciate that the outcome of the great battle now on between Kuroki and Kuropatkin is likely to end the war. The attack be- ing made by Kuropatkin on the Japa- nese left arouses but little enthusiasm. Defeat in this move must result in his retreating all along the line. It is as- serted in less pessimistic quarters, however. that if the Russian army can stand firm they have good position to defend.
 Although it is not admitted at the war office. the general impression in military circles is that General Kuro- patkin may be forced to withdraw. Not only is General Kuroki threaten ing his communications, but the re- doubts have been to great extent outfanked by the Japanese.
 A dispatch from Russian army head quarters at Huan mountain says that after an all night battle the Russian forces which seized the railroad bridge across the Shakhe river retired after having destroyed the Japanese fortiii- cations at the farther end os the bridge and thrown the Japanese forces there into consternation. The Japanese losses ', were heavy.
 The redoubts at Poutiloff and Novgo- rod hills and even the hills themselves. keys to the position of the Russian cen ter. appear to be crumbling away un- der the impact of terrible eleven inch shells such as leveled the Notifications of Port Arthur and rendered the for tress itself untenable. No troops will be able to retain the position long if the bombar,iment continues.
 The advance of the right wing seems for the moment to have come to . standstill.

WHITE AND BOWKER COMING.

America is to be favored at last with a visit by Jabez White, lightweight champion of England, and Joe Bowker. worlds bantam champion. According to cable from England the pair sailed from that country yesterday. White and Bowker are to be accompanied by Charlie Mitchell, who went abroad for the purpose of bringing the two @Britons here.
 If White and B0wker are in earnest about fighting they will have oppor tunity to try their skill. for there are any amount of boxers at their weights ready to give them battle. It Is proba- ble that both Bowker and White are provided for in the way of matches. Tom O'Rourke, it is understood, Is to manage the men here. and he says that Bcwker is slated to meet Frankie Nell and that White will have Jimmy Britt for an opponent. This was the under standing when Mitchell departed to bring the foreigners to America. They were to box at San Francisco. Since then, however, things have changed relative to the pugilistic situation ih CuAlIOluld OWiAS tU lAC HUI ouuNe'"H VI bill in the California legislature to repeal the law that permits fighting there. By the time Mitchell and hia proteges get here it will be definitely known whether boxing is to be q dead letter on the Pacific coast or not.
 The San Francisco A. c. has already offered White and Britt 60 per cent of the gate receipts for match at 133 pounds ringside. This has been accept. ed by Mitchell for White. It Is thought, though. that if White and Bowker do not fight at San Francisco they may get a chance to display their form at Baltimore. Al Herford is willing to give purses for them to appear in that city. O'Rourke has also taken under his wing a white boy named Kld Fay Tor, who he thinks is a second George Dixon. Taylor halls from Chicago, is 21 years old, besides being clever, is a stiff puncher. Taylor leaves Chicago today and upon his arrival here O'R0urke will issue a challenge for his man to box any 116-pounder in the business.

BASKET BALL.
FAST AND
 ROUGH GAME
Crosby High Made . Plucky Fight Eut All Waterbury Won 0ut-Cood Game Coming. .. c-..

One of the hottest basketball games that have been played in the Y. Nj. Q. A. this season took place thare last evening The opposing teams were the Crosby High and All-Waterbury five. From the beginning of the game until l the final whistle was blown it was furious contest and all kinds of mix, ups were in evidence. The High school | boys were outweighed by their op- ponents and consequently they were rather at disadvantage. Neverthe- less the Crosby team played a fast game and for the first ten minutes they were the leaders. But the Waterbury team, principally through the fine work of McKeon, quickly overcame the lead and the score at the end of the first half was 16 to 13 in their favor. The second half started with bang l and soon the audience was in an up roar because the school team had tied the score. At this point the game, which had been rough, became rougher still and 1t seemed as if the All-Waterbury Equintet was playing just a little too roughly. Every time one official would call foul the other official would re ciprocate by calling one on the oppo- site team. Shortly after, this Captain Guilfoile was hurt in scrimmage and had to retire for about ten minutes. l When the play was resumed both 1 teams worked as if their lives depend ed upon the game and when the final whistle was blown the Crosby team was only beaten by the score of 26 to p. The High school boys should feel proud of the game which they played last night and If they continue their good work they will be match fol any school team in the state.

mounting, braggart duty, always
owed and seldom paid in any other
coin but wrath, when will mankind
begin to know thee? When will men
acknowledge thee in thy neglected
cradle, and thy stunted youth, and not
begin their recognition in thy sinful
manhood and thy desolate old age?
on, ermined judge, whose duty to So
clety now is to doom the ragged
criminal to punishment and death;
hadst thou never, Man, a duty to dis
charge in barring up the hundred
gates that wooed him to the telon's
cell, and throwing but ajar the Dor
tails to decent life? Oh, prelate, pre-.
late, whose duty to society it is now,
to mourn in melancholy phrase the
sad degeneracy of these bad times in
which thy lot of honors has been cast,
did nothing go before thy elevation to
the lofty seat, from which thou deal
est out thy homilies to other tarriers
for dead mems shoes whose duty to
society has not begun? Oh, magis-
trate, so rare country gentleman and
brave squire, had you no duty to
society before the ricks were burning
and the mob were mad; or did it
spring from the earth, a corps of yeo-
many, full grown?" Perhaps the ed
