The Russian people are clamoring
for Legislative body, and the Amer,
lean people have Legislative body,
officially known as the United States
Senate, but frequently called the
vultures' roost, that they would like
to present to the Russians, freight
prepaid. But the American people
should not forget that the Senate has
several excuses for its present con-
duct. Its membership has, no doubt,
cost the plutocrats many millions of
dollars. The people who stood by
while these purchases were being
made and, in many instances, re-
joiced over them as partisan victor
les, are in a measure estopped from
complaining because the purchasers
own and use that which they pur-
chased.

On the extreme east the japanese have
taken the outlying positions, and they
now threaten the main defense. Ow-
ing to their formidable attack it is
thought that the japanese artillery
men are veterans from Port Arthur,
commanded by General Nog. Forty
wounded Russians have arrived at
Mukden and 400 more are expected.
Other indications point to an unusual
struggle. A clustering snow storm is
ending in q bitter wind which may
modify the threatened conflict

Russian Reverse Acknowledged.
st. Petersburg, Feb. %. = An ac-
ton of no mean proportions is in
progress on the Russian left flank. The
advantage thus far is on the side of
the japanese, though at heavy cost.
From advices from the front it is diff
ficult to say how severe the losses
have been, or how decisive the re.
verse, and whether the Japanese are
likely to attempt to drive in the Rus
sian left much further.
What Kuropatkin Was After.
General Kuropatkin evidently has
been trying to establish his left flank
far in advance, to command the cross
ings of the Taitse river, the operation
being a counterpart of General Grip.
enberg's movement on the right flank
to secure the fords of the Hun rly-
er preparatory to the breaking up of
the ice in the spring. The scene of the
operations is fifty miles southeast Of
Mukden, beyond Da pass, an important
detile commanding the road to Fushun.
Both armies occupying apparently i'm.
neutrality-suspicious. on the centers, Gen
eral Kuropatkin evidently planned to
inaugurate widely sweeping operations
on both TANKS, but the japanese coun-
tered hard.
