ONCE MORE DEFEATED
RUSSIANS MUST LEAVE MUKDEN
ST. Petersburg Dispatches Confess De-
feat-But Hope the Army May
Reach Tie Pass.

st. Petersburg, March 300 a. m.
The battle OF Mukden has resulted
in a Russian defeat.
Field Marshal Oyama has once more
proved himself one of the greatest
masters of offensive strategy since
Napoleon, while General Kuropatkin
is now engaged in endeavoring to de-
fend his title as a master of success
full retreats and bring off his army,
with its immense train, safely to lie
pass, where a position was long ago
prepared with this contingency in
view.
The problem before the Russian
commander-in-chief is much more diff
ficult than the one he met successfully
at Lao Yang, since now he is threat
ened on both flanks, his left wing be-
ing entangled in mountainous region
far from the railroad.
Nevertheless, Russian military men
here express a fair degree of conf
dence in General Kuropatkins ability
once more to eXtricate his army and
avoid a Russian Sedan. Beside his skill
in rear guard action, they base their
hopes on the physical condition OF the
Japanese soldiers, who are well nigh
exhausted by their strenuous endeav-
ors of the last fortnight.
Only to the initiated is the news of
the reverse positively known at this
time. Emperor Nicholas and high
military officers, of course, were in
formed by General Kuropatkin's tele-
| gram of Tuesday stating that Mukden
must be abandoned and they received
details of the beginning of the with
drawal as they appeared in portions
of the official dispatches given out yes
terday.
The great question now, and the one
over which the general staff burned its
lights late into the night, is whether
Field Marshal Oyama has entangled
the Russians in his strategic net suf-
| ficiently to prevent successful retreat
to Tie pass. General Rennenkampff' S
force to the eastward admittedly is in
great danger of being cut off and a
considerable force of Japanese appear
to be operating on the Russian right,
well toward Tie pass.
If the Japanese succeed in reaching
the railroad and interrupt traffic, if
only for few hours, it may have the
greatest consequences for General Ku-
ropatkin, who is now engaged in a lit
eral race with the Japanese to reach a
naturally defensible position forty
miles northward. Thus far he has
stood off all the attacks directly
against the flanks of his army, and
holds the way of retreat open. He un-
doubtedly was forced to abandon a
number of siege guns on his Shakhe
position, but if he succeeds in turning
over the army intact, with the princi-
pal portion of its artillery train to his
successor, the Russian case will be by
no means desperate, for Oyama will
again have missed his quarry ana Il
comparatively barren victory will have
life.

Sullivan Accuses Morgan

Denver. March 7.-Daniel NJ. Sulli-
van, postmaster at Cripple Creek, who
is focused by Senator Morgan of an
attempt at bribery, makes the follow
ing statement:
This man Morgan approached me
several days ago and told me in the
presence of witnesses that he was
anxious to vote for Governor Adams
because Peabody had failed to make
a case. | told him that | had always
believed he was tied up with the Pea
body crowd, but he vehemently denied
it. He pleaded with me to take him
to Mr.. Herbert, and, although |
thought he was not honest with us. |
did it. Fortunately | was in the room
and heard him solicit the bribe and
heard Mr.. Herbert emphatically refuse
to listen to his proposition.
"If Mr. Morgan got this money. as
he said, on March End, then why did
he wait until to-day before he made
his statement public? That is ques'
ton he will have to answer before
we are through with him, just as we
will force him to tell what he got for
bringing these charges"

Vote on Governorship Delayed.

Denver, March "a further delay
in the contest for the governorship
was occasioned yesterday when the
joint assembly was unable to proceed
with the hearing The trouble arose
over the consideration of the AleXan-
der report from the committee on con-
test. When the presiding officer, Lieut..
Gov. Mcdonald, ruled that the AleXan-
der report was not in order, an appeal
to the House was taken. By the aid
of Republican votes the Democrats
prevented the assembly from uphold
ing the decision of the chairman. That
is, the record of the vote cast shows
that fifty-two members voted against
sustaining the decision of the chair,
but the latter has not yet announced
to the assembly that result.
Before the vote was announced Rep
resentative Breckenridge renewed his
motion for a recess of the assembly
until 10 O'Clock this morning. A long
debate ensued over the motion. Mem
bers declared they had hear, the lieu
tenant governor announce the result
of the vote on the appeal, and others
declared they had not heard it.
A motion for a recess to 1901 this
morning was finally declared carried
by vote Of II to 19.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE

Th~ Stephen eight-hour bill was
passed on second reading in the Sen
ate March 1st without a loll call. The
minority reports of Senator Cll.ton
We're voted down and the maiorit.,S re-
port of the labor committee accepted
with but two votes cast against it,
those of Senators John Kennedy and
B. Jefferson. Senators Morgan and De
Long, Republicans, voted for the mi
nority reports, but changed their vote
on the final issue. Senator Ballinger
broke from his party and made a
speech favoring the majority report
He denied that the Democrats were
enemies of the eight-hour measure, and
thought there was merit in the Stephen
bill
The anomaly of securing all the re
suits aimed at in the passage of a bill
through its defeat will be presented in
the Senate when the finance committee
makes a report on one of Senator Tay-
lor's educational measures. The bill
in question provides for an appropria-
ton out of which students attending
the state educational institutions shall
be reimbursed for their railroad fare
in cases where their homes are located
more than 100 miles from the school
The object is two-fold: To give the
young men and women on the western
slope better opportunities for an edu-
cation in Colorado, and to build up the
state educational institutions. At a
meeting of the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday afternoon the bill was
given the right of way in discussion.
No vote was taken, but the commit
tee reached a tacit conclusion to kill
the bill in question, but to accomplish
Senator Taylor's purpose in another
way. This was to include in the ap-
preparation for each institution an
amount sufficient for reimbursing the
railroad fare of all students who would
come under the provisions of Senator
Taylor's bill. The proposition met with
much favor at the hands of the com
mittee, and there is little doubt that
1t will be received favorably by the
Senate. There is a strong feeling in
the House, also, that such a measure
should pass.-Denver News.

Presidents santo Domingo Message

Washington, March 9.-The Senate
in executive session yesterday made
public the second message of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the Santo Domingo
treaty. The President urges imme-
diate action on the treaty. The mes
sage says:
Many of the debts alleged to be
due from Santo Domingo to outside
creditors unquestionably on their face
represent far more money than ever
was actually given to Santo Domingo.
The proposed treaty provides for a
process by which impartial experts
will determine what debts are valid
and what are in whole or in part in
valid, and will apportion accordingly
the surplus revenue available for the
payment of the debts.
"Santo Domingo grievously needs
the aid of powerful and friendly ma
ton. This aid we are able and trust
that we are willing to bestow. She
has asked for this aid. and the ex-
pressions of friendship repeatedly
sanctioned by the people and the gov
ernment of the United States warrant
her in believing that it will not be
withheld in the hour of her need"

Early Marriages in Polk.

George Fl. Hines, secretary Of the
Oregon Pioneer Association and
assistant secretary OF the Oregon
Historical Society, has an interesting
article in a recent number of the Ore
gonian on "Early Marriages in Port
land and the Country Round About. "
The earliest marriage in Polk county
Of which he has any record is that Of
Stephen Stats and Miss Cordelia
Forrest Cboth deceased). Mr.. Hines
says that an account of their wedding
was published in the Oregon Spectator
ofApril 16, 1846. The earliest marriage
in the county Of which there is any
record in the County Clerks Office was
that Of Thomas M. Reed and Mrs.
Nancy Hawkins. This marriage was
solemnized by Justice Isaac Staats on
November 20, 1s46. 1t is altogether
probable that several weddings occur
red in Polk county before this latter
date and that the records have been
lost or misplaced. Prior to 1853, no
book records we're kept, all marriage
certificates being recorded on separate
sheets Of paper, and it is not unlikely
that many Of these loose sheets have
been lost.

WILL SELL MILL PROPERTY
Coast Range SawmiII at Falls City,
to be Sold to Highest Bidder.

The Coast Range LAUNDERING Com
pany's sawmill plant at Falls City Will
be sold at trustees sale on Monday,
April 10. Sealed bids for the property
will be received by George L. Gerl-
niger, trustee, until that date. Mr..
Gerlinger is now at Falls City selling
the lumber on the yard.
The property to be sold includes the
sawmill machinery, the planning mill
at Falls City, contracts for 800 acres
of choice timber land, logging equip
ment, three miles Of logging railroad
and a locomotives also, such lumber
as may be on hand on the day of sale.
The machinery and equipment is
all first-class in every respect, and
Mr.. Gerlinger expects to receive a neat
sum of money for the company from
it's sale. The mill is located in an ex-
cellent body of timber, and has
splendid shipping facilities by way of
the Dallas & Falls City railroad and
the Southern Pacific railroad. The
property is desirable in every respect,
and will doubtless sell for a good
price.

NO MORE DISCOUNT
Time for Three Per Cent Rebate on
Taxes Expired Wednesday
Afternoon.

The time for the allowance of the
three per cent rebate for the prompt
payment of taxes expired Wednesday
afternoon, and property owners will
now be required to pay the full
amount of taxes assessed against
them as the same appears upon the
roll.
The Sheriff's office has been a busy
place for the last ten days, and colIec-
tions have been heavy. The office
force has been kept working early
and late issuing receipts tor money
paid in. Hundreds of checks and
money orders have been received from
taxpayers living at distance, and the
work of crediting these amounts and
issuing proper receipts therefor will
occupy the attention of the Sheriff and
his deputy for the next week or ten
days.
Sheriff Ford has had no opportunity
to ascertain the total amount of money
collected, but believes it will be fully
as large as the amount received up to
the corresponding date of last year.
The total number Of receipts issued
this year is larger than for the corres-
ponding period last year.
By paying one-half of their taxes
before the first Monday in April,
property owners will be given until
the first Monday in October to pay the
remaining half, and no penalty or
interest will be charged. But if no
such payments are made before the
first Monday in April. the whole
amount will become delinquent and a
penalty of 10 per cent and interest at
the rate of IL per cent will be added.

WILL DECIDE MONDAY NIGHT
Council Will Consider Question of Sub
mitting Rock Crusher Improve
ment to Vote of People.

The question of purchasing rock
crusher and building permanent
streets in Dallas will come up for con-
sideration at the council meeting next
Monday night. and decision will be
reached at that time as to whether
the proposition shall be submitted to
the voters at the approaching April
election.
The members of the council have
been gathering information on the
subject Of rock crushers from every
available source during the last two
weeks, and are busy preparing their
reports for the meeting to be held next
Monday night. These Investigations
have covered wide range, and in
clude items as follows: Best makes
OF crushers, cost of new and second
hand machines, size Of crusher best
suited to Dallas needs, cost Of oper-
alton, cost of crushed rock delivered
in Dallas, source of supply, relative
value of various rocks for street
purposes, etc.
Councilman A. B. Muir went to
Portland, Saturday, to look up the
prices of rock crushers and road
building machinery in general and
a delegation composed of Mayor Hay
ter, Councilmen Belt, Simonton and
Boals drove to Salem and spent the
greater portion of the day at the
crusher in the rock pit south of that
city. They also inspected the hill
road between Salem and Liberty, pro-
nounced by experts to be equal to the
best macadam roads in America or
Europe, and gained much valuable
information as to the operation of
rock crushers and the building of
permanent roads.
The movement for better streets in
Dallas has developed the fact that the
people are heartily tired of wasting
their money in vain effort to make
permanent improvements with dit
and soapstone, and that any business
like plan of relief from existing con-
ditions will be heartily welcomed.
