Elements.
THANKING MOVEMENT FAILS
Few Details Of Late Fighting, How
ever, Obtainable-Gen. Mistchenko
Russia's Most Dashing Caviar,
Leader, Wounded in the Knee.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the Japanese left wing and outtlank
Field Marshal Oyamas position on the
Shakhs river seems to have failed en-.
tirely. Feww details, however, are
available beyond the information con.
tanned in the official dispatches. Field
Marshal Oyama, as at the battle OF
the Shakhe river, appears to have
answered the Russian advance with
a counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the war far into the territory held by
tbs Russians.
At the war office there is an in.
clination to lay the chief blame for
the failure of the movement to sud.
den change Of the weather to intense
cold, 20 degrees below zero, with a
high wind which drifted the snow and
rendered 1t hazardous to expose thu
troops to camping in the open plain,
and also impeded the transportation
OF guns, supplies and the wounded.
The operation entrusted to the sec.
ond army, under General Grippenberg
once in Russian hands would serve as
pivot for a thanking movement
against Field Marshal Oyama, but
Sandepas proved too hard a nut to
crack, and the japanese, taking ad.
vantage of the check of the Russians,
hurried up their reinforcements and
assumed the offensive on the Hun
river as we'll as along the railroad
and the Great Mandarin road. The
Russians, however, appear to have
been completely successful on the de.
fensive, repulsing all the Japanese at.
tacks. Under the circumstances, Gen
eral Grippenberg decided not to press
the attempt to storm Sandepas, which
Is situated in flat country, and there
tore more difficult to take by assault
than position in hilly country
General Mestchenko, the Cossack
leader, was wounded in the knee.
Owing to the fiat trajectory and the
enormous penetration of modern pro-
iectiles, the capture of the outer line
IF trenches on Thursday entailed
heavy casualties. There is no official
estimate Of the losses, put it is ex-
pected that some thousands on both
sides were killed and wounded.
The news of this defeat, coming at
this time, is especially hard for the
government. The peculiar idea con-
tinues to be that the advance was
undertaken in order to divert the at
tention of the people from the events
in European Russia.
London, Jan. 27.-The. Daily Tele-
graphs St. Petersburg correspondent
asserts that General Kuropatkin has
telegraphed to the emperor that his
offensive power is seriously hampered
by the obstinate reluctance OF his
troops from the European provinces
/ TO advance against the enemy. Whilst
the COssacks and Siberians are full OF
dash the Europeans argue that now
that Port Arthur has surrendered
there is no object in continuing the
war

morning. The jury reached an agree.
ment at lis, after being out seven
and one-half hours. The vote on the
first ballot stood 10 to 2 for conyic.
ton.
Judge Evans will sentence Dunnins,
this morning. Cunning was formerly
the head OF the wrecked Citizens
bank.
Mt. Ayr, Feb. 1.-The Dunning case
went to the jury at $50 o'clock this
afternoon following Judge Evans in
structions.
l.. w. Laughlin, who, by Judge
IoWner's appointment, is acting as
special county attorney in the bank
cases, opened the argument for the
state. He briefly outlined the posi-.
ton taken by the prosecution, saying
mat OF The four points sought to be es-
tablished-Dunnings ownership OF
the bank, his receiving the Sewers
deposit, his insolvency, and his knowl-
edge Of the insolvency-the first two
were admitted. Mr.. Laughlin urged
from the evidence of the banks books
that insolvency was fully proved, his
estimate OF the actual assets of the
bank being $1S0,00o, against liabili.
ties of $490,OOO. He enumerated the
several admissions made by defend
ant to show defendants knowledge Of
his financial condition.
Following Mr.. Mclaughlin, Hon. r.
IL. Maxwell of Creston began the ar
gument for the Defense He defined
the relations of a bank to both lea.l-
ers and borrowers, and described
Dunning as man who had the weak
ness of wanting to help everyone who
came to him for help, being "such a
man as does not make a good banker
or broker or note shaver"
Former Congressman James P.
Flick of Bedford made the next ar
gument for the defense. and Hon. V.
r. McGinnis of Leon delivered the
closing plea for the state.
Mr.. Flick made an eloquent plea,
relating the total lack of crooked
transactions, such as forgery or false
entries. and urged Cummings long
career of kindness and helpfulness.
Mr.. McGinnis' plea was dispassion-
ate but very convincing. He said
that Cummings assignment proved his
insolvency, and his sworn statement
that the bank was solvent proved his
knowledge Of its condition.
Mt. Ayr, Feb. 3.-There is an arrest
of judgment in the Day Dunning case
until Tuesday, April IS, the motion
for new trial having been taken
under Amusement by Judge Evans
at the request of the defense with
the full consent of the prosecution.
The motion for new trial is based
upon a paragraph of the courts in
structions. Judge Evans, in discuss.
ing the whole matter from the bench,
indicated pretty plainly that the SEN
tence would be merely a fine, as
eight of the ten jurors remaining in
town stated in open court that they
wished him not to send Mr.. Dunning
to the penitentiary Mr.. McGinnis, in
his closing argument for the state,
admitted that the prosecution did not
hold Mr.. Dunning guilty of intentional
criminality.

LOSES IN SHILOH CONTROVERSY
Assistant Secretary Of War oliver
Decides Case.

Washington, Feb. 3-Assistant Sec
rotary Oliver of the war department
has decided the long pending contro-
versy between the Iowa state authori-
ties and the Shiloh military park COM
mission in regard to the inscriptions
proposed by the commission on the
regimental monuments of the Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth Iowa volunteers
on the battlefield of Shiloh. The state
authorities wanted the inscriptions
proposed by the park commission en-
tended so as to show the hours dur
ing which the two Iowa regiments
participated in the battle. Assistant
Secretary Oliver has sustained the
park commission against The proposed
amendments.
In letter to the governor of Iowa,
yesterday, he says that the elimina-
ton of the features of the inscrip-
lions In question is in the interest or
historical accuracy, and he adds that
this particular case has convinced
him of the wisdom of combining in.
scriptions placed in the national mill
tary parks to the central facts of the
events they commemorate.
Des Moines, Feb. Sit is said the
Shiloh controversy will be carried to
thee president. If it were necessary it
could be carried to the congress. 1t
is not at all unlikely that this will be
done. There are many complaints
against the national commission.
