Both Sides Energetic.

Headquarters Russian Army Huan- shan, Feb. 10.-At present the attention of the Japanese is mainly concentrated on the narrow line and west of the railway, where also pass the two main roads to Mukden. The armies are closely in touch all along the line of Sandiapu, Paohsingtun. ChenIianpu and Shakhe. The region Is entirely desert- ed by natives, but their stone houses and stout walls have been turned into veritable fortresses. The declivities have been iced and the ascent would be almost impossible, even without ob- structions and abatis. The approaches to the streets of the villages can be swept by machine guns hidden behind thick walls. Notwithstanding the num- Der of these quasi-fortresses, the Ja- panese are not slackening their energy in entrenching. but persist in the work in the daytime in the face of the Rus sian batteries and at night the loud noise of the rumbling of carts gives evidence of their untiring labors. The Russians are equally persistent and, besides harrasslng the Japanese work ing parties with rife and cannon fire, themselves are fortifying and re-forti- flying.
 The Japanese continue to scatter proclamations in the Russian lines, and these papers are openly distributed by Chinese in the streets of Mukden.

DUNN AND CO.'S REVIEW
WEEKLY SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS
 IN TRADE CIRCLES.
Some Disturbance Caused by Elements, Hut OtherwIse Things Appear Unusually Satisfactory for the Season.

New York, Feb. 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Some disturbance has been caused by the elements, but business condi- tipns are otherwise unusually satistac- tory for the season. Distribution of merchandise Is in liberal proportions. Textile mills and shoe shops are well engaged. Some conservatism is noted in the placing. of advance orders. but this is a favorable symptom, indicat- ing the absence of reckless operations. Railway earnings in January were 40 per cent. larger than in 1904. while foreign commerce at this port last week showed a gain of $l,075,S70 in value of imports and loss of. $1,S30, 563 in exports as compared with the same week last year.
 Favorable reports are received from almost every department of the iron and steel industry, even steel rails sharing the better feeling, orders on the books exceeding a million tons. more demand for structural shapes.
 Notwithstanding the frmer tone of the raw material, several varieties of cotton goods have been reduced, and the market developed much irregulari- ty Instead of stimulating business as expected, the concessions have caused buyers to act with increased conserva- tism. Purchases are still limited to urgent requirements.
 Hides have ruled fairly steady, na- tive steers constituting the bulk of

REPORT FROM DAWSON.
Minister Tells of Negotiations with
 Dominican President

NAAAAASNNE AcAN OI NSBOIAnuOm0 wlGb
 DOminican President.
 Washington, Feb. 10-The State De- partment has received a mail report from Mr. Dawson, the American Min ister at San Domingo descriptive of the negotiations that have been pro- ceeding between himself and Com nander Dillingham; on tho one side and President Morales on the other respect ing the administration of the Domlni- can customs by the United States. The report does not include the last phases of the exchanges, including the sigma ture of the protocol which is on its way to Washington.
 While the State Department knows nothing as yet of the reported extenS sion of the customs collections in San Domingo by American agents so as to include Monte Cristi with Puerto Plata in the list of administrative officer, 1t Is said that Admiral Sigsbee was fully empowered to do this in his discre- ton. Lieutenant Commander Edward F. Le1per of the Detroit was with Commander Dillingham; last summer when the latter officer iatervened be- tween the government and insurEent forces and it Is supposed that Admiral Sigsbee would naturally call upon him to take charge at Monte Cristi. No specific orders for this detail, however nave been sent from the State or Navy Departments and Admiral Sigsbee is acting under his general instructions. The arbitration award contemplated by the administration of Dominican customs at the four named ports by agents of the United States and Mir Abbott was selected at the instance of the New York claimants under the award and installed as Collector of Customs at Puerta Plata
 Complaint having been made that the receipts at Puerta Plata were in- sufficient to meet the award, it was contemplated that the collections should be extended so as to include Monte Crlsi and President Morales himself is said to have been willing that this should be done, so that if anything has been developed to the installation of an American officer as collector at Monto Christi 1t is said to have certainly been among the element of President Morales.
 The propriety of further extending the collections to the remaining ports named in the arbitration award, San chez and Samana, has been considered, but in view of the small business at those ports 1t is said that such action would hardly pay. thought Admiral Sigsbee has discretion and authority lectors there. The State Department has no intention of taking any steps under the terms of the pending Domin- ican protocol unless the document fs first approved by the United States.

DISASTROUS WRECK.
Several Killed In Smashup at CarnerOa
 Mexico.

Mexico.
 Laredo, Texas, Feb. 1o.-Passenger train No. over the National Railway of Mexico, known as the Mexico-St. Louis express. which left here yester- day morning, collided with a freight train at Carneros, Mexico, today.
 It is not definitely known how many persons were killed. but one rumor states that thirteen people are dead and seventeen were injured.
 Inquiry at the offices of the National Railway in this city elicited the reply that nothing could be learned of the wreck here, the officials stating that they had no details.
 It was later asserted by an empIoye that the telegraph operator at saltillo, the first station north of Carneres, re- ported that one person, had been killed.
 Carneros Is on the middle division of the railroad and Is 25s miles south of Laredo.
 Later information regarding the wreck on the National is to the effect that the freight train had been pulled beyond the siding where 1t had been arranged to meet the southbound pas senger, and was backing on to the siding when without warning the pas senger train crashed into the freight. The Wells-Fargo Express messenger on tonight's incoming train states that he saw live dead bodies. those of two wo- men, child. the coal passer and the engineer of the freight train. He said that there must be many more dead or injured in the second and third-class coaches which, he states, were tele- scoped and in such a position that at the time his train passed the scene of the wreck 1t was impossible to render aid to those in the latter coaches.

Knoxville. Tenn, Feb. 1O.--A special to The Sentinel from Jellico says:
 About 200 miners, employed at the Birds-Eye Coal Mine, seven and one half miles north of Jellico, are out on strike.

 With the Elements.
 Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.-This city has been cut off from wire communication with the rest of the world practically for seventy-six hours. Street cars, which were stopped at midnight We'd nesday were started over a few lines at noon today. Excepting in the cen- tre of the city, where the electric light ing wires are under ground, the streets have been dark since Sunday and prob ably will be until Sunday or the first of next week. About 1000 telephor es are out of service, with little prospect that all of them will be restored in less than a month.
 The weather today is warmer and the streets are assuming their normal appearance. The damage to wires Is hard to estimate, as no one knows yet what Is the extent of the damage in the territory through which wires must be restored to put the city again in touch with the world. The Western Union reports thirteen miles of wires and poles down east of the city within a distance of forty miles of Atlanta Hun dreds of men are working to build up these lines. The Western Union off eials who have visited the wrecks of their lines say they have never seen anything to compare with the destruc- tion. None of them will venture A guess as to the amount of money dam age. The Postal manager declares their loss will be well upwards to S5O,- 900 in this territory. Both companies report 1t will take weeks to restore the lines to normal condition.
