st. Petersburg, Jan. 2S.-Gen. kuro-
patkin reports that Russian troops, at
p. m. ON January 20, after a desperate
light, occupied the village of Sandepas,
which had been strongly fortified by
the Japanese, and captured 200 cattle.
Supplementing the foregoing, Gen.
kuropatkin says
"From later reports it appears that
In capturing these positions we made
prisoners of 100 Japanese. We also
occupied the village of Weheitaitse, on
the Hun river, losing so men. On jan
uary 26 our troops continued the Of
lensiye against Sandepas. The Jap
anese attacked our position near the
village from the south end southeast,
but were repulsed Cavalry participat-
ed, maneuvering against the left flank
and attacked the Japanese in the rear.
Our force then attacked Sandepas, and
at p. M, after desperate fight, with
the assistance Of sappers, we sur
mounted the strong intrenchments at
Shakhe and repulsed Japanese attempts
to retake them"
The Japanese began the fight cross
ing the Hun and attempting to break
the Russian right. The czar's troops
repulsed this assault and pressed for
ward so vigorously in pursuit that the
village of Sandepas, within the f)fmer
japanese lines and point Of much
strategical Importance, fell into their
hands, as did a number of Japanese
cannon.
Tho Japanese advance Is believed to
have been inspired in part by the news
of the Russian International troubles,
intelligence Of which reached the Rus
sian army at dawn, January 25.
Throughout the night and all to-day
firing was heard along the line toward
tho tiun river in the gi3inity of the
rllagcs of Hecksutail and Ludiutul In
toe cemer, the Japanese firing octa-
.sional sECts to get the iange of tic

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

The press censor at st. Petersburg

that Gen. Kuropatkin and Field Mar

Gen. Kuropatkin reports a success

Advices from Gen. Kurokis head
quarters in Manchuria say that the

After period of inactivity since the

to have been taken in Manchuria. A
dispatch from Gen. Kuroki's headquar-
ters tells of vigorous cannonading on
the Japanese left, where the Russians
had crossed the Hun river, and the in
dications were that sharp engage
ment was in progress.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates


 All railroad men qualified to speak on the subject in a responsible way are likely to agree with President Samuel Spencer. of the Southern railway. when he says: There is no division of opin- ion as to the desirabiiity of stopping all secret or unjustly discriminatory devices and practices of whatsoever character"
 Mir. Spencer. in speaking of unjust ly discriminatory" rates and devices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and imperatively re- quired by the complex commercial and geographical conditions with which ex- pert rate makers have to deal To abol- ish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries of cities. states and whole sections of our national territory.
 This distinction between just and un- just discrimination is clearly recognized in the conclusions of the International Railway Congress. published yester- day:
 Tariffs should be based on commercial principles, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commer- cial value of the services rendered With the reservation that rates shall be charged without arbitrary diserimin nstion 10 all shippers alike under like conditions, the making of rates should as far as possible have ell the elasticity necessary 10 permit the development of the traffic and to pro- duce the greatest results to the public and to the railroads themselves"
 The present proposals, as MT. Walker D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the senate committee at Wash ington, to crystalline flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed govern ment rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some gov ernment tribunal, and by this very process to increase "the temptation to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some over towering and urgent commercial con- dition. ."-New York Sun.

By nn Ex-Speaker of the Legislature oi
 Ore Of the Largest States In Inc Union.
 Copyright. Ise5. by Joseph B. Bow.es1
 Whether a member Of the legislature accepts bribe when he pockets an un- solicited railroad pass is question which, l think, at least is open 10 te- bate. l we'll remember that a few days after l was first elected a member of our general assembly the mails brought me annual passes from almost every railroad which operated in my state These bits Of pasteboard, however. were good only on the lines within the boundaries of the state and each fI&nk- ly bore my Iew title.
 accepted them as matter of eourss. and in acknowledging receipt added my thanks flor the courtesy" Not then. nor now. did l think l was selling myself. body and soul to a railroad corporation, and not once during my several terms did l permit possession of those much-eoyeted evidences Of railroad courtesy" to influence my vote.
 The passes which the newly-electtd house member receives without the asking are not the passes which the legislative agents of railroads issue for she purpose of securing the good sill or positive aid of lawmakers. This may be news to some people. but the fact is there is a wide difference in the char NF fcials. The annuals sent 10 members direct from the office of the general pas senger agents are regarded by almost all aemcts of any legislature as right ful perquisites to the office. The habit of issuing such passes has become a well-recognized custom, almost. one might say. an obligation upon the rail road companies. If the railroads stopped there We would not hear so much Of thf iemoralizing influence of railroad passes.
 But in every state capitol. when a legislature is in session, are two CT more men whose business it is to see that the railroads suffer the minimum amount of harm from the legislature These agents, or lobbyists carry with them books of passes, which they dis tribute with experienced discrimina- tion where they will do their principals the most good. These men will tell you that their free transportation is more effective than filthy luere in taking tho edge off the legislative appetite Sait one of them to me:
 You can get man in line and keeI him there with railroad pass or two when 8 straight offer ef money woulf nsN .~.-,n the Reservation alto gether"
