A DESPERATE MOVE
KurOpatkin Ordered to Attack
Japanese in Hope of Winning
Victory
His Humiliating Defeat with
Serious Loss Adds to Dis.
content Of the People

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-General
Kuropatkins attempt to break through
the japanese left wing and outfank
Field Marshal Oyama's position on the
Shakhe river, seems to have failed en-
tirely. Few details, however, are
available beyond the information con-
tanned in the official dispatches. Field
Marshal Oyama, as at the battle OF
the Shakhe river, appears to have an
swered the Russian advance with a
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the war far into the territory held by
the Russians.
At the war office there Is an tnclina-
ton to lay the chief blame for the fail
ure of the movement to a sudden
change OF the weather to intense cold,
20 degrees below zero with high
wind. which drifted the snow and rem
dered it hazardous to expose the
troops to camping in the open plain
and also impeded the transportation of
guns, supplies and the wounded.
Too Hard Nut to Crack.
The operation entrusted to the Sec
ond army under General Grippenberg
was the capture Of Sandepas, which
once in Russian hands would serve as
pivot for a fanking movement
against Field Marshal Oyama, but
Sandepas proved too hard nut to
crack and the Japanese, taking ad-
vantage of the repulse of the Russians,
hurried up their reinforcements and
assumed the offensive on the Hun
river as we'll as along the railway and
the Great Mandarin road.
The Russians, however, appear to
have been completely successful on
the defensive, repulsing all the Japa
nese attacks. Under the circum-
stances General Grippenberg decided
not to undertake to storm Sandepas,
which is situated in fat country,
therefore more difficult to take than
position in a hilly country.
Owing to fiat trajectory and the
enormous penetration Of modern pro.
tectiles the capture Of the outer lines
of trenches on Thursday entailed
heavy casualties. There Is no official
estimate of the losses, but 1t Is expect
ed that some thousands on both sides
were killed or wounded.

BIG FOUR BEATEN
Supreme Court Decision Against
Packers-Injunction Made
Permanent

Washington, Jan. 31.-The supreme
SQUIRT of the United States has decided
The case of the United States VS.. Swift
& Co., known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among the pack
srs to fix prices on fresh meats, etc.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice Holmes and affirmed the de-
cision of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis.
cussed at length the various conten-
uons of the packers and disposed Of
, them individually. He admitted that
some OF the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was neces-
Sarily true on account OF the vast ex-
tent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient had been shown to prove
continuous offenses and offenses Of
such a nature to justify the proceed
ings. The opinion continues the in.
junction granted against the packers
under the Sherman antitrust law by
the lower courts. The opinion was
concurred in by all the members of the
court.
