ANOTHER FLANK MOVEMENT
Field Marshal oyama Evidently Has
Slight Intention Of Pressing Advant-
age Gained and Seems to Be in a
Hurry to Renew the Attack.

Tie Pass, March l4.--As after the
battle Of Lao Yang, the advance of
the japanese army against the Russian
new positions at Tie Pass is very slow.
The leading column is eight or ten
mills southwark and in touch with the
Russian outposts, but operations are
not serious and hostilities seem to have
ceased for the time being. Oyama
shows slight intention Of pressing the
advantages of an immediate attack
on Tie Pass. II is possible. however.
that wide turning movement is in
progress.
In Grand Army order is being
brought out OF chaos with remarkable
celerity. The plain in front of Tie
Pass has been cleared and regiments
reorganized. Stragglers are being sent
to their respective commands. organ
izations are taking assigned positions
and today some soldiers who on March
10 became terror stricken, a surging
disorganized mass, are now gathering
singing around camp fires with new
courage. 1t was one of the odd facts
of warfare morale that the Russian
army was largely restored, while the
japanese, although yictors, are appar
emily so broken up owing to heavy
losses, that they are unable to presa
their advantages. Otherwise 1t
is inexplicable why the Japanese
have not followed up vigorous pur,
suit with an attack On Tie Pass when
they might have taken the position al
most without a struggle.

Senator Mitchell Getting Ready
For His Trial
DECLARES Ills INNOCENCE
Says He Will Be Tried by Jury and
Not by the Newspapers and Expeeta
to Secure a Fair Trial and Be Com
pIetely INDICATED of Charges.

Portland, March 14.-'I will resort
to anything, arraigned as l am; l pro-
pose TO defend myself"
Thus did Senator John H. Mitchell,
indicted by the federal grand jury for
alleged completely in Oregon land
in stubborn legal battle in his de-
termination to engage the government
in a stubborn lebal battle in his de,
fense against the charges pending
against him. This statement came
from the senator in reply to a ques,
tion as to what his method of defense
would be, in view of the published
speculation that he would resort TO the
technicalities of the law in making
defense.
Il have come back here to meet these
charges" declared Senator Mitchell,
"and | have not the slightest doubt of
my complete yindication of the accu-
sations against me # am given a fair
trial, and suppose will be. l am
back here to prepare my defense, and
will come out all right in spite of all
that has been said.
Il am going to be tried this time by
jury, and not by the newspapers. I
wish you would mention that" con-
tinued the senator, with fire in his
voice. Il am absolutely innocent of
these charges. l am just as innocent
as you are of having ever received one
dime from Puter or anyone else in
connection with land frauds" Senator
Mitchell pronounced the name of Putef
with an emphasis of contempt.

Boulder, late treasurer Of Jefferson. is
the mar who was found dead In room

gagged a room in the Beaver block. II

cuple0 by him, little was seen Of the

SALARIES RAISED.
Officers Serving in lnsular Service Re-
ceive More Pay.

Washington. March 14.-Hereafter
the ten per cent additional pay allowed
the officers serving in the insular pos
sessions will be computed on the basis
of their regular salaries with longevity
pay added, according to a decision
rendered by the supreme court Of the
United States. The question was in
volved in a suit instituted by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Stephen c. Mills, who
served two years in the Philippines.
His salary was $4,000 and his longevity
allowance $1,000. He was paid 10 per
cent additional upon the $4,000 but he
claimed that he was entitled to a like
percentage on the $1,000. The court OF
claims supported his view. and todays
decision affirmed that of the court OF
claims.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
WORK SUSPENDED.
No Money Available to Complete the
Training Ships.


Washington. March 14.--Owing to
the failure Of congress at the session
just closed TO grant the request of the
navy department for an appropriation
of small sum OF money to complete
the two training ships now under con-
struction at Boston and Mare island
navy yards the department has been
Obliged to stop work entirely on the
Cumberland at the Boston yard and to
consider the necessity of taking similar
action in teh case Of the Intrepid, at
the Mare island yard. The total APP
preparation for these ships was $780,
900 in each case. but 1t became appar-
ent during the past winter that more
money would be required because OF
generally greater cost of material and
work. Therefore deficiency to esti-
mate was submitted which congress
probably by an oversight neglected to
grant. The vessels are said to be
needed badly for the training Of mid
shipmen ard apprentices.

However, Says He Knows

There was a rumor afloat this after
noon that it had been as good as set
tied that the pump deal would be pu,
through the council tonight according
TO the program which has been under

nothing whatever as TO the status OF
the matter. and that if anything was
TO be done tonight it was without his
knowledge.
