SIXTH DAYS FIGHTING.

Mulden, March 7.-Delayed.) y
The sixth day of the battle on the
Russian right flank ragged with und.
minished vigor from dawn until dark.
The Japanese made good their posi-
tion at Tscha, and pushed the contest
north to Sinmintin the same as on
Sunday, four miles from the main bat
lie line though apparently no nearer.
As was the case in the battle of Lao
Yang, semicircular positions where
the battle is progressing now are 80

cess.ble from Mukden in a days tour
Losses already exceed those at Lao

much more. though this does not seem

noon today they attacked Yensitun,
advancing their infantry and prOvok-

reported TO have resulted in Russian
infantry occupying Yenhsitun about

raves are increasing in number,
while dead animals strew the ground.
Troops have seen seven days without
rest and their powers of resistance
are declining very plainly showing
he strain of the terrible week.
The Japanese continue to flank the
Russian position. One Japanese divi-
,ion is known to have extended to
Beling. The Japanese maintain a
frontal attack, Sunday night having
attacked Shakhe, Erdagou and Huan-
tai and the extreme east. where they
are again advancing. The center re
mains Russian. but on the southwest
he Russians are falling back on their
second position. The army on the
right wing is now thrown back on the
Russian settlement. converting the
settlement into a great metropolis. AT
night long trains of lighted cars are
to be seen extending in all directions
on improvised railways to camps
where three days ago there was moth
ing but bare fields. In magnitude the
present battle promises TO about equal
the battle of Shakhe river.

been decided although il is positively
stated in high quarters that Kuropat-
kin has telegraphed the emperor that
il will be impossible to hold Mukden
and that the withdrawal of the army
northward has already begun.
Nothing Since Monday.
Nothing from Kuropatlin later than
Monday has been given out but ad-
vices TO St. Petersburg newspapers
and dispatches to the Associated
Press dated at 8 o'clock last night
indicate that the position Of the Rus.
sian army after day of furious and
unprecedented fighting is desperate,
but not absolutely hopeless, some Rus
sian correspondents even predicting a
Russian victory soon, and one affirm.
ing that the extreme Japanese left has
already begun to retire southwark.
Kuropatkin He'd Positions.
While the Japanese hurled them
selves forward at every point yester
day. their main energies were behind
the blow west and southwest in the
attempt to envelope the Russ IN right
and drive wedge through the line OF
Madzyapu. but Kuropatkin seems TO
have been able to successfully change
front on the line of his shattered
right, aiign:ng from the northwest 10
the southeast, to protect the railroad
to Mukden; and at nightfall it was re-
ported he was practically holding all
his positions. at same time he was
drawing in and shortening his lines
TO the southeast.

trated attacks of the Japanese to the
westward failed. and the effort of No

Osteopafhy-DonsiInds.

What is the physical state in. what
the cause and what the cure in ton
sillitis? As to che physical state. all
schools are agreed: The tonsils be-
come deeply inflamed, develop folli-
cles or white patches usually. Oh ul-
cerate-quinsy.
The cause the 0steopaths alone
assign. The history Of a case Is,
first, a cold producing contractures
in the neck muscles, possibly
predisposed by irritation of the
nerves from slight bony displace-
ments. These cOutraotures bring
pressure upon the veins draining the
tonsils, and so dam back the blood.
Now, what is the logical cure? Cut
out the tonsils and predispose to
disease, or would II be wiser to relax
the contractured muscles thoroughly
and open the natural drainage?
The latter course the osteopath
pursues. Then correots the bony
displacements predispoaing to the
contractures, and so averts the re-
peated attacks common to this 'trOu-
BILE. ,Chronically enlarged tonsils are
cured by establishing natural cirau-
latlon end drainage In - manner.
'Osteopathy's success In tensillitis ,is
certainly marked.

and then announcement was made
that a contract had been awarded to
Wren & Greenough to build the line
from Riparia and also the Clearwa-
ter bridge for $1.OO0,OOO. The con-
tractors began assembling material
when in a day all work operations
were ceased. The explanation given
the public was that in the division
of the stock to be used for the joint
piece of road Hill had insisted that
his men be given a small margin Of
control. Then came the tie-up that
has prevailed down to the present
time. Repeated rumors were placed
in circulation of early construction
work, but the companies promptly re-
piled that nothing would be done un
til merger case had been decided.
This decision came on March Z and
gave to Hill the Northern Pacific.
Old Fight On Again.
Now comes o. X. & N. surveyors
in the field, secretly yet presumably
with defiance of its rivals and the old
fight is again reality. 1t seems
probable that the o. +. & n. will
pursue its original plan of warfare,
although the Burlington is now Hill
road and connection with the Bur-
lington would not give Hartman the
relief that was afforded five years
tgo. 1t is explained, however, that
the Chicago & Northwestern is plan
ming to push through to Montana,
and If Hartman again places survey
ors in the Clearwater mountains 1t
would suggest that he is working in
harmony with the Northwestern. To
meet such a move, a logical step for
the Hill interests would be to build
the DISQUALIFICATION cutoff. which
would give by $50 miles the shortest
transcontinental line to the coast and
would also invade Union Pacific ter
ritory Comment as to the immediate
plans of the Northern Pacific to meet
any inroad that the Union Pacific
might make is that the road will
build from Lewiston, through Clark
son, up the Alpowai creek and
through the Dayton section to a con-
nection with the old Hunt line, and
thence to a connection with the new
Goldendale line that leads to the Co
lumbia, from which entrance to Port
land will be secured. The company
has recently acquired extensive
grounds for terminals at Portland and
1t is said has been planning for two
years to start the work this spring
