Newchwang, March 6.-There Is every indication that the great Japan csc movement for the envelopment of Mukden has so far met with over- whelming success and that that strong hold of the Russians will prove another Sedan.
 In the past fe wdays little has been heard from the fighting along the strongly fortified central positions and 1t is believed the Japanese centre Is only required to hold It's ground. while the wings stretch far to the northward for the purpose of encircling the Rus sian Hanks or threatening the railway.

THE CANAL ZONE.
Taft Can Continue to Administer Its
 AHairN.

Washington, March Glowing to the failure of Congress to provide new leg islation for the government of the ca- nal zone, Secretary Taft was confront ed with the question as to whether he could continue to administer the af- fairs of the canal zone. This ques- tiol today decided in the affirma- tive. Ths position of the War Depart ment in this matter is set out in the following statement.
 The Government of the canal zone will continue to be administered pursu- ant to the laws of the United States in force in that territory. the executive orders heretofore issued and the laws of the canal zone enacted by the Isth- milan Canal Commission during the pe- riod the commission was authorized by act of Congress. approved April 2S. 1903, to exercise the powers of legis- lation.
 The judicial branch of the zone gov ernment will continue to exercise the powers and jurisdiction conferred on 1t by the act of Congress approved June 2S, 1902, the executive order dated May g. 1904. and the laws of the zone en- acted by the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion.
 The government of the canal zone was established. the powers of the sev- eral branches defined and official duties distributed by legitimate exercise of lawful authority duly conferred by Congress. It is therefore a govern ment de jure and de facto.
 Upon the failure of the Thirtieth Congress at its first session to make legislative provisions for the adminis- trations of civil government in Cali fornia and New Mexico. President Polk continued in existence the government heretofore installed by exercise of the military authority. With reference thereto the United States Supreme Court says (Cross vs,. Harrison. 16 How 193) the government had Its origin in the lawful exercise of a bel ligerent right over a conquered terri tory. The President might have dissolved it by withdrawing the army and navy officers who adminls- tered it. but he did not do so. The right inference from both is that 1t was meant to be continued until 1t had been legislatively changed. No pre- sumption of contrary intention can be made Whatever may have been the cause of delay, it must be presumed that the delay was consistent with the true policy of the Government"
 Secretary Taft has cabled General Davis accordingly.
