From the Service.

Judge Advocate General Davis of the

conduct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline in causing Intoxicating

sentence be mitigated TO the revocation of
his appointment as a corporal and to con-
finement to the limits of the post

Senator Warren asked Senator Gallinger
whether the District committee proposes.
among other remedies, the assessment of a
considerable fee or tax against these COM
panies.
An Increase in Fees.
Senator Gallinger replied that such fees
wolld be charged and they would give to
the District very large revenue.

Senator. Ga1linger, (which has passed the
House and which am authorized to report
favorably requires that all the stock shall
be subscribed in good faith and 10 per cent
actually paid in before the charter shall
be granted Under the code it is not neces-
sary to pay in anything. The Senate bill
now on the calendar also contains the same
provision.
Senator Warren suggested that the fees
might be based upon the amount of capital
and increased in percentage as the amount
of capital increases so that very large
company would be obliged to pay very
large fee.
Senator Gallinger replied that that is pre-
cisely what the Senate and House bills ac-

porations be printed and referred to the

THAT section $50 of the code of laws of

ARMIES BEFORE MUKDEN.
Both Sides Heaping Reinforcements on
Flanks-Prcspects.

MUKDEN January 80, via Tien Tsin
January 30.-Offcial reports published in
the army newspapers show that the en-
tire east was undisturbed except by small
scouting affrays during the fighting at
Holantai and Fiechiachuangtzu CHeikou-
tai and Chenchiehpao?C
The army is now working under the
new organization and entirely new orders
throughout, these even affecting the

ously.
The creation of Increased fortificat tions
in the center by both armies resulting in
both sides heaping their reinforcements
on their flanks reaches a point where
that side falling behind will slowly be
forced to precipitate battle.
The present state of affairs is appar-
emily due to the clear cold weather. The
Japanese have advanced every available
man to the front 1t is reported that Lao
Yang is deserted by soldiers.
The railroad south of Lao Yang is
strongly held, especially the bridges,
which the Cossacks report are unap-
roachable on account of the armament
of the former Russian defenses and the
supplementary japanese works.
I. In addition to Holantai and Fiechiachu-
angtzu. three other villages not so i'm
portant were occupied by the Russians
two of which have already been relin-
quished
More has been learned of the magnitude
of the Japanese strength opposite the
Russian offensive movement and as the
Japanese appear disposed to show their
strength it probably will result in the
immediate restoration of the original
lines of defense, If not in a japanese ag-
gressive movement.
The final reports give the losses at Hol-
antai and Fiechiachuangtzu as less than
at first announced.
The Russians appear to have satisfied
themselves of the strength of the jap
anese.
Russia Anticipated Sentiment.
BERLIN, January 30.-The Russian gov
ernment's reply to China's declarations that
she has not infringed neutrality nor per-
mitted Japan to do SO is a reassertion that
She has done so. The Russian note which
was communicated to the powers Satur-
day gives specifications of what is affirm
ed to be violations of neutrality, but the
tone of the reply is such that it is in
ferred that Russia Is not likely to carry
the discussion much further.
1t Is learned here that Russia found
that all the powers particularly Germany,
held views Identical with those of the
United States on limiting the zone Of war
and keeping China out of it.
