RUSSIANS TRYING
HARD TO RETREAT
Gen. Kuropatkin Has Diff
Guilty in Withdrawing to
Tie Pass
JAPS CLOSING IN ON MUEDIv

ST. Petersburg, March According
10 the latest information from the
front the battle is now general and
Of the most desperate character The
losses have been exceedingly heavy
on both sides during the preliminary
fighting.
Although II is not officially admitted
It is regarded as certain that General
Kuropatkin is directing all his efforts
TO the withdrawal Of his army to Tie
Pass. It is now practically a rear
guard action, but the task of eXtricat-
ing himself is proving very difficult
The japanese have not only driven
the Russian left, but a column is al
ready reported to have crossed the
Hun river east Of Fushun. At the same
time the Japanese are pressing the
Russian center under cover of the fire
OF their siege guns, and General Kuro-
patltfn is gradually retiring before the
Japanese advance.
The efforts of the Japanese TO en-
velop the Russian right wing have
been unsuccessful, but II has been
forced back almost cn a line with
Mukden.

views IN the prepar alton OF the laws
Of the empire.
This. is the autoc racys final re
sponse to the agitation in favor of
participation by the people in gov
eminent which has Brought Russia in
the last few months almost to the
verge Of revolution. Rts import must
not be understood. For the present at
least It inl olives no change in the re-
gime OF autocracy, and it means
neither onsti5ution nor a national
assembly. AT the same time It recog-
nizes the principle of the peoples
right 10 be heard regarding the laws
under which they must live. Whatever
the result miw be, the document is
sure 10 mark an epoch in Russian his
tory, as impo1 tant, If not more i'm
portant. than the signing Of the eman-
cipation NANTES TO, The Gath anniver-
sary of which 1t was intended TO sig
nalize.
The signing of the document came
ct the end of a dramatic scene, the
climax of which was an impassiOned
speech by Emperor Nicholas to his
ministers. in which he declared that
he sought only the welfare of his sub
jects. Il am willing" the emperor said.
ito shed my blood fer the good of my
people"
From the lips of q high parsonage
who was present when the rescript
was signed. the Asst ,ciated Press is
able to give the following authorize
tive statement:
"The action Of the mpopOr is not a
step toward, but the actual grant to
the people of the mean s whereby their
duly elected representa- lives can place
before his majesty their views upon
every important mea sure affecting
them and recommended by the coun-
Gil Of the empire. Moreo yer. if you will
read the rescript careful gy you will see
that 1t contains a disti net promise Of
something more in tn @ future. It's
small beginning will j OF involve the
surrender Of the princip le Of autocracy
now; what it may involv e in the future
only the future can det ermine. We do
not expect that it will m eet the wishes
of radicals and extr smists of any
class; nothing would Sc tisfy them but
the complete overtime Of the ex-
isting regime. We do + Ope however,
that after mature delib sration it will
meet with the approval of moderate
men who are sincere W ell-wishers Of
the country"
AS expected, the ansv er to most Of
the political conditions i imposed by the
workmen who met at the, Peoples Pal
ace, as essential prel minaries to

on the mixed commission of employers
and employees, was a dec sded negative,
