RUSSIANS HOLD FUSHUN.
Position Affords Protection to Army
on the Shakhe River.

Toxic, March 8.-The greatest con-
centration of the Russians defending
Fushun seems to be along the line
from Theta to Machuntan. General
Kuropatkin continues to resolutely de-
fend the Russian positions at Fushun.
The operations in that vicinity do not
indicate whether Kuropatkin intends
to fight or retire, but he must hold
F'ushun to protect the army on the
Shakhe river.

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Dominican Protocol the Subject of
Discussion.


Washington, March 8.-The open
session OF the senate continued for
only eight minutes. The vice presi-
dent presided, the chaplain offered
prayer and Mr.. Hansbrough presented
q resolution providing for the amend.
ment of the senate rules so as to per-
nit senators to hand petitions and
private bills to the secretary of the
senate instead of introducing them in
! the present formal manner. Then, at
1908 p. m, the senate went into exec
| utive session.
In his opening prayer Chaplain Hale
remembered the senators who failed
| of reelection.
When the senate went into execu-
| tive session Senator Bacon called up
| resolution which he offered Monday
asking that the senate committee on
foreign relations make an inyestiga-
| tion Of the protocol of an agreement
made Jan. 81. 1905, by which the Unit
cd States undertook to regulate the
collection of customs of the Dominican
government and pay the claim of the
San Domingo Improvement company.
He addressed the senate in support of
the resolution.
The right of the United States to
enter into an agreement with another
country for the collection of a claim
held by United States citizen or COM
pany was conceded by Senator Bacon,
but he contended that the
Executive Exceeded His Authority
In entering into an agreement to take
charge of the customs affairs of such
government without first submitting
the question to the senate and receiv-
ing its approval.
Senator Spooner discussed this
subject also and so far as the author
ity of the president to make such an
agreement with Santo Domingo was
concerned he agreed with Mr.. Bacon.
Several other senators talked on the
resolution, but number objected to
it's form. They claimed that it went
too far. Senator Bacon met this criti-
cism by withdrawing the resolution
with view to remodeling it and offer
ing 1t again.
The sentiment of the senate seemed
to be that an early report on the treaty
should be made by the committee on
foreign relations A suggestion to this
effect met with favor and 1t was an
nounced that it had been agreed in the
committee that report could be made
within a few days. 1t is not the ex-
pectation that the treaty will be re-
ported from the committee in a form
approved by all of the members, but it
Is believed that greater headway can
be made by having the discussion on
the floor of the senate.
While most of the debate related to
tne Bacon resolution there was an in
cidental exchange OF views among the
senators concerning the treaty and the
effect of the intervention of the United
States in the affairs of the Dominican
government, including the right of the
United States to collect debts due to
American citizens. On the latter point
there was substantial agreement, but
there was wide divergence Of opin-
ion as to the method.

ERIE ROAD GETS

TRIAL SYSTEM.

AS MEANS OF ENTERING
TWIN CITIES.
Milwaukee, Oct. 1.-THE Journal

Milwaukee, Oct. 1.-THE Journal
says:
The Wisconsin Central railway has
been sold and the new interests are in
full control. They represent big East
ern financiers and the change means
that the line will finally enter Milwau-
kee, possibly by means of the Milwau-
kee Southern, and that It will become
part of great railroad system. The
transaction is one of the biggest COM
mercial deals in many ways that has
affected Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
AS sized up by Milwaukee financial
interests and railroad men the changes
indicate a desire on the part of the
Erie railroad to get control of the Wis
consin Central in order to get short
route by car ferry to Manitowoc for a
connection with the Great Northern
railroad at st. Paul and Ashland.
- Former officers of the Pere Mar
quette railroad have obtained interest
in the line. The Pere Marquette was
recently absorbed by the Erie system
It is now figured out that the Erie also
wants the Wisconsin Central, with
which they connect both at Milwaukee
and Manitowoc by means of the Pere
Marquette ferries.
Newman Erb, one Of the new direc-
tors, is well known figure in Eastern
railroad circles and Is the man wis
engineered the deal resulting in tbs
change of owership of the Central.

Chicago, Oct. ia weary, hungry
gang Of nonunion switchmen spent the
night In boxcars on a siding Of the

did not take the lodgings from choice,

out Of sympathy for the strikers, had
driven every nonunion man from shell
ter In the suburb. - j.
Every hotel, lodging quarters, board
inghouse and private residence in Els
don joined In the boycott. The
stores were locked and the barber
shops closed. Everywhere doors were
barred. Even the saloons refused adj
mittance to the unwelcome strangers.
And, to cap the climax, the two village
marshals, with gruff orders to move
on" proceeded to hustle the nonunion-
lists out Of town. n
Confronted with the alternative of
having to walk several miles or spend
the night In the open the men decided
to consult Yardmaster Conroy Of the
Grand Trunk. He found some empty
boxcars on the siding. Blankets were
procured and the forty-eight nonunion
men went supperless to bed.
