New York. March Fire was discOv-
cred in Madison Square Garden tonight, n
short time after the thousands who had
been attending the sportsmen's show and
the audience IL the garden theatre had
left the building. The fire started in
some rubbish in storerOOm in the north

from the storerOom where it started to

bears and wild cats and d pair of tame
wolves were aroused by the smoke and
fought madly to escape. One of the bears

water.
Chief Croker estimEted the damage to

ing Of the hercest kind. which is likely
TO decide the fate of the battle which
has been in progress for ten days began
at dawn today and has continued un-
interruptedly up to the present time on
a front fourteen miles long, west of the
railroad and on a line with the Shakhe
river. The Japanese also have made
desperate attack on Bentsiaputze, and
reports are arriving here that fighting
was renewed this morning on the eX-
treme left of the Russian army. Both
sides are fighting with desperation TO
the westward. though the troops are
we'll nigh exhausted. The issue of the
battle may depend largely on the rela-
tive physical condition OF the rank ana
file. In its main features the combat
is very much like that at Lao Yang.
and if the Russians should be able TO
crush the thanking force victory may
be regarded won. The losses IN the
ten days of battle on both sides are al
ready far greater than were the cas-
ualties in the battle of Lao Yang, and
are likely to increase as the days pass
before the issue is fully decided.
With coIors Flying.
Beginning at . o'clock a. m, the Jap
anese made a succession of desperate
attacks on General Tserpitzky's dlvi-
sion on the west front south of Muk-
den, repeating the assault at intervals
ments. About so 00Q Japanese with 200
pieces of artillery participated. All the
attacks were repulsed, there being
enormous losses on both sides One eX-
tremely important position changed
hands several times. Finally General
7 TSerpitsky, on horseback, placing him
self at the head of his troops, led his
regiments TO the attack with coloTs
flying and music playing. The attack
was successful. After it was over the
victorious soldiers crowded around
General Tserpitsky, shouting his praises
and even kissing his hands and feet

result for strychnine. We further eN-
amined one kidney and some Of the
contents of the intestines. but were
unable to separate any poison from the

We then combined all the remaining
organs including the liver, and found
that d test of an extraction gave the
same results as the intestines. namely,
the color reaction indicative OF strych-

the fading purple test and so far as

Monday night the Japanese attacked
Yenheitun, Alanpu and Erthtaitzu, and
also made four furious attacks on the
village of Iuhuantun early this morn
ing. On the fourth attack the Japan

had nothing to eat since Sunday and
that they had been told this morning
either to capture the Russians dinner
or starve.
At Erdagou. on the center. a regiment
of Chasseurs made a night attack,
but the Russians were caught by the
Japanese flank and many OF them were
killed, fifty being captured.
Repulsed With Loss.
At Bentsiaputze the japanese storm

An attack on the east front early this
morning resulted IN the capture of sew

The Japanese made a counter attack
and long and desperate struggle en-
sued. the Russians capturing a third

About Exhausted.
St Petersburg. March s. 2:15 a. M
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 Pc
tersburg, which has forgotten the
meaning of the word victory. The wa
office does not admit that the issues
of the great battle, which already ex-
ceeds in magnitude Of operations and
losses that of Shakhe. has been decid-
ed, although it is positively stated in
high quarters that KurOpatl<in has
telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas that
it will be impossible to hold Mukden,
and that the withdrawal of the army
northward has already been begun.
Desperate, But Not Hopeless.
Nothing from General Kuropatkin
later than Monday has been given out,
but advices to St. Petersburg newspa-
pers and dispatches to the Associated
Press at 8 o'clock last night in
dictate that the position of the Russian
army after day of furious and unpre-
cedented fighting is desperate, but not
absolutely hopeless, some Russian cor
respondents even predicting a Russian
victory soon, and one affirming that the
extreme Japanese left has already be-
gun to retire southwark.
Depends on the Reserves.
Everything probably now depends on
General KurOpathn'S reserves.
While tho Japanese hurled them
selves forward at every point yester-
DAY. their main energies were behind
the blow west and southwest in an at
tempt to envelOp the Russian right and
drive wedge through the line at Mad
yapu, but General Kuropatkin seems
to have been able TO successfully
change front on the line of his shat
tered right aligning from northwest to
southwest to protect the railroad to
Mukden; and at nightfall it was re-
ported he was practically holding all
his positions. At the same time he was
drawing in and shortening his line to-
the southeast.
Attacks All Failed.
According TO reports all the concen-
trated attacks of the japanese to the
westward failed, and the efforts OF
Generals Nogi and Oku 10 push their
enciTcling movement north and east
ward across General Kuropatkins line
of communication were blocked. Re
ports. however. are conflicting. One
correspondent telegraphs of hearing
firing toward the nOrthward toward
Tie pass, which may have been Cos
sacks and flying squadron of Japan
csc.
Minor Successes.
While some Russian correspondents
perhaps attach undue Importance to
several minor Russian successes on
the southern front, which evidently
were simply counter-attacks and in no
sense a real offensive movement. If Ku-
ropatlxin has a plan for striking a real
blow upon which, in the opinion OF the
experts. his salvation depends there is
no. indication yet of such a purpose.

Coal company, was placed on the stand
to tell OF certain dealings his company
had with Senator Morgan when he was

preventing a strike. Several receipts
were offered in evidence signed "R.

was that of Senator Morgan for sums
ranging from 500 to $3.50. Smith said
these sums We're paid for services rem
