ST. PETERSBURG HOPEFUL
Grasps at Slightest Apparent victory
 Kuropatkin's Peril.

St. Petersburg, March 1.--1:50 a. m.--- Last nights news from Manchuria is of the most important nature. The As sociated Press dispatch from Mukden, Tuesday, indicating that a general bat tie was beginning along the whole of the 100 miles of front occupied by the two armies. General Kuropatkin ap- pears to have taken a leaf out of Field Marshal Oyanla's book and re- piled to General Kurolsi's attack on the Russian left by counter attack on the Japanese left, in which General Kaulbar's initial success is better for the Russians than the best efforts of General Gripenberg. the Russian van guard being established at the out skirts of sandiDau. At the same time General Kuropatkin delivered a blow against the Japanese center, seizing a railroad bridge across the shakhe river. These reports, therefore, give a more hopeful aspect to the situation, as the Russian army, though driven out of Da pass, appears to have succeeded in stop ping at least for the moment, the fur ither advance of the Japanese eastward beating off the attack on the center.
 The effect of yesterdays develop ments on General Kuropatkin's report ed intention to withdraw from the Shakhe is problemaical. Retirement in the face of an enemy which is ex- tremely hazardous under the circum- stances, is doubly dangerous, when the armies are grappling in a general en- gagement: but if General Kuroki suc- ceeds in rolling up the Russian left much further the perilous expedient may become necessary. The counter strokes on the right tnd center may possibly be intended to cover the withdrawing of trains and stores. If, however, General Kuropatkin is determined to stand and fight out the battle on the line which he has held during the winter, and if he should be able to administer a wig orous check to General Kuroki he has secured a good position for his second move in the game. s.

FoR COMPLETE OWNERSHIP.
Bill Favoring Purchase of New Eng
 land Road by Consolidated.

Boston, Feb. 2s.--A. A Maxwell, for the New York. New Haven and Hart ford railroad, appeared before the leg islative committee on railroads to-day in favor of the bill to permit the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road to purchase the New England rail- road, which extends from Boston to Fishkill Landing, N. Y. He stated that all that stood in the way of complete ownership is ninety preferred and 154 common shares of stock.
 Francis E. Welch, representing the minority stockholders, said that he did not want to give up his shares, and that it would be unfair to take the property of the New England railroad shareholders unless it could be shown that it was necessary for the public in- terest and convenience. He suggested that the minority shareholders should have the right to show the real value of their shares.

KUROKI,S SIGNAL VICTORY.
Famous Russian Cavalry Beaten by i%F Japanese Infantry.

General Kuroki's Headquarters, Feb. 26, via Fusan, Feb. 2S.-The Japanese yesterday (Saturday) achieved a signal victory over the forces commanded by Lieutenant General Rennenkampf. While this victory is important in itself it is more so because of the strategic advantage gained by the Japanese. The fighting was over a mountainous coun- try between thirty and forty-five miles east of Yentai, which is about fifteen miles northeast of Liaoyang.
 General Kuroki's infantry displayed remarkable qualities as hill fighters and proved their superiority to the famous cavalry of the Russians.
 The right of the Japanese winter position has been near Ponchi, extend- ing toward the southeast on the south of the Shakhe river and west of the Taitse river. In yesterdays movement a body of Japanese troops which had been advancing from Ponchi swung around toward the northeast and swept the Russians before them.
 The Japanese now hold strong lines, extending from southwest to northwest and partly eastward of the Taitse river, threatening the Russian left flank. Gen. eral Rennenlsampf commanded a divi- sion and half of cavalry, divisoin of infantry and body of sharpshooters, with full complements of guns.
 The principal engagement was north east of Tsinkhetchen, where the Rus sians held strongly defended entrench- nents. ss,t
 The Russians left 2O3 dead on the field there, and lost several machine guns. The casualties are estimated at oyer 2.oo0.

SENATOR KEARNs, CHARGEs.
Declares Mormon Church Controls PoIi- tics and Business of Utah.

tics and Business of Utah.
 Washington, Feb. 2s.-The senate spent almost the entire day consider ing items in the Indian appropriation bill which were not passed on yesterday and extended the session into the night for the purpose.
 There was quite a lengthy discussion of the committee amendment prohibit ing the use Of tribal funds in the SUD- port of sectarian schools. The provision was modified so as to allow individual members of tribes to use their propor- tion of funds in support of such schools, and as thus amended was agreed to. Many other features of the bill also were debated.
 Another feature of the day was a speech by MT. Kearns of Utah on the Mormon church. He charged that the church controls the politics and busi- ness of Utah. He denied in emphatic terms that he had paid Lorenzo Snow, then president of the church, for SUD- port of himself for senator. A half dozen bills intended to remedy the de- fects in the laws as to inspection of steam vessels which were brough to the surface by the disaster to the Gen. eral Slocum in New York were passed.

Bill Affecting Ray State Inn Keepers !. . & g'" Defeated

Boston, Feb. 2S.--A plan to extend the time of selling liquor by licensed inn holders throughout the state until mid- night was defeated this afternoon in the Massachusetts house by a vote of sS to 126. The committee on liquor law had reported unfavorably upon the bill, the chief result of the passage of which would have been the legalizing of liquor selling at Boston hotels up to midnight. instead of Il o'clock, as at present. When the report reached the house, Representative Fiske of Boston moved the acceptance of the bill with an amendment providing for the sub mission of it's provisions to the various cities and towns at elections, but both the amendment and the bill were re- jected.

SUCCESS OF KUROKI,S ATTACK
 ON RUSSIAN LEFT.

KurapOtIxin EndeavOrs to RetaIiate by
 Throwing Heavy Force Against the
 Japanese Left-BeIief that He Must
 Retreat-His Position Appears Peri-
 Ious-ProbabIe Counter Stroke to
 Cover Withdrawal of Trains and
 Stores.
 Fighting on large scale is in pro- gress between the Russian and Japan ,ese armies in Manchuria. General Ku- ropatkin after meeting the initiative of the Japanese in the eastern part of the Shakhe valley, assumed the aggressive in the western portion yesterday, and under cover of heavy artillery fire from Putiloff hill and Novgorod hill succeeded in driving the Japanese from g. position in the outskirts of Sandiapu. Simultaneously the Russians attacked and captured a railroad bridge on the Japanese center. Much more serious are the Japanese operations against the Russian left wing, which threatens un- less quickly checked, to oblige General Kuropatkin to abandon the positions on J 2 the Hun river, which he has occupied and fortified during the winter. There is no confirmation of the report that the Russian commander-in-chief has notified the emperor that retreat north- ward has become imperative.

INCREASING IN INTENSITY.
Progress of the FightIng-Taking of
 Bridge Over Shakhe.

Mukden, Feb 2S.-Noon.-Fighting is in progress to-day along the whole line, the Japanese attacking every where. All attacks this morning were beaten back and the Russians make counter attacks at many places. On the right flank the Russians occupied the village of Baotatzsi, which is close to Sandiapu, and from that position hurled hand grenades across the inter- vening favine into the Japanese trenches in sandiapu. causing heavy loss and great disorder.
 Mukden, Feb. 2S.-10 p. m.-The Rus sians have seized the head of the center of the Japanese lines, assisted by artillery firing of particular energy from Putiloff hill and NoYgorod hill.
 Ten determined attacks opposite Yangsintung and west of Vanupudzi were all repulsed with heavy losn.
 The situation on the Russian left flank is unchanged as compared with Mon day evening.
 The seizure of the railroad bridge across the Shakhe river was the occa- sion of a sharp combat. The Russians succeeded in surprising the Japanese bridge guards, and, reinforced, beat off all attempts of the Japanese to re- gain possession of it.
 The Japanese are using heavy seige artillery in the bombardmen of Putiloff hill and Novgorod hill, and this is be- lieved to be preliminary to an attempt to storm them. The losses to the de lending forces are insignificant. The roar of artillery firing is echoing un- ceasingly from the mountains to the eastward to the low flats of the Hun river valley, the scene of General Gripenburg's repulse.
 The fightappears to be developing in intensity along the whole line.

MRS. OHADWICK'S LAWYERS
 CONSIDERING IT.

 Judge Who Would Try Her-Strong Public Feeling Against Her Also Given as Reason for Chnnge-COurt
 Refuses to Quash Indictments.
 Cleveland, Feb. 2S.-It is said that Mrs. Chadwick's counsel are consider
 ing the advisability of applying for a
 change of venue on behalf of their cli- ent. Mrs. Chadwick is said to favor
 having the trial held elsewhere than in Cleveland on account of the feeling which she declares exists against her l here. Mrs. Chadwick, in an interview to-
 day, declared that her attorneys would
 apply for a change of venue in connec- tion with her trial in the United States
 district court. She said that the action would be taken on the ground that Dis trict Attorney Sullivan, who will pros ecute her case if tried here, is related to Judge Tayler, and that, owing to the
 strong public feeling existing against her ill this city, a fair and unprejudiced trial could not be secured. .e...s. J. P. Dawley, counsel for Mrs. Chad
 wick, referring to the statement made
 by his client, said that no such step as
 andicated by Mrs. Chadwick was con-
 templated. He added that he was sat
 isfied to have the case tried before Judge Taylor, whom, he declared, he
 believed to be fair and impartial.
 The relationship between Judge Tay- Ter and District Attorney Sullivan is only by marriage, Judge TayIer being a
 cousin to the wife of District Attorney
 Sullivan. y n& ........ A government official pointed out to- day that the federal statutes make no provision for a change of venue in crin- inal cases. 5..-.. e j. #,S%

Next Saturday the Anniversary of the
 Emancipation of serfs.
 st. Petersburg, March 1.--d1:S5 a. m. Next Saturday being the anniversary of the emancipation of the serfs, ru- mors have been in circulation that the day has been selected for notable events of diverse natures. According to some of these rumors the workmen are banning an immense reyoutlonary demonstration, while according to oth- CT reports the government intends to commemorate the anniversary by issu- ing a manifesto, establishing some form of a representative legislative body. It was stated positivey yesterday, how ever, on competent authority, that there is no intention on the part of the gov ernment to signallze Saturday by any special manifesto, and plans for dem onstration of workmen, if there are any, have not yet reached the men or the liberal leaders. On the other hand, it seems certain that the recently re vived council of ministers at it's week ly sessions is considering the all i'm portant question of reform and evolving governmental alterations of a moment $ous character; but what form these changes are to take it is impossible to ascertain with positiveness. Presunla- bly, the council is discussing means or bringing the government and people in closer touch. According to current re ports the decision has been reached that the zemsky Sobor would be an un- satisfactory agent for doing this, and the ministers arc now considering oth- CT measures looking to the same end. A definite announcement of their de cision as to the nature of the proposed reforms is not expected for some time.
