RUSS RETIREs IN GOOD ORDER
Another Army Race Is Looked For = Rail-

Santoupu, March II. The Rus
sian detachments at Tie pass were on
March 10 ordered to evacuate their po-
sitiOns, and during the night retired in
exemplary order, covering their rear.
There had been fighting throughout the
day. Before the withdrawal of the

London, March 17.-An unconfirmed
report from st. Petersburg states that
General uKropatkin will retreat, not
to Hardin but to Kirin and Vladivo-
stok. This, however, is regarded here
as quite improbable, and the ensuing
fortnight is expected to witness keen
race between the Russians and jap
anese for the great railway bridge over
the Sungari river, as it is believed that
after Tie pass there is no fortified
place of sufficient strength at which to
make stand until the Russians reach
Hardin.
If Kuropatkin should be able to
make a successful retirement thither
II is likely that he would be able to add
some $4,000 fresh troops to his ex-
hausted army. A question discussed
here is the possibility of Russia
evacuating Vladivostok and concen-
trating its garrisons at Hardin.

Colorado Assembly Convention
Declares He Was REFLECT
ed to the Governorship.
ADAMS vACATES THE OFFICE
Mcdonald Men Make a Deal Which
Gives Their Man the Post.
They Seat Peabody Under Contract
That He Shall at Once Resign
Adams Holds 1t an
Outrage.

Denver, March IL. - James H. Pea
body has won his contest for the office
of governor, from which he retired on
Jan. 10 after serving term of two
years, but his. victory was achieved
only after he had given his pledge to
resign and surrender the chair to
Lieutenant Governor Jesse f. Melon
aid. The vote in joint convention of
the general assembly by which Gov
ernor Alva Adams was ousted and Gov
ernor James H. Peabody installed was
81 to Al. Ten Republicans voted with
the Democratic members for Adams.
Was Party Triumph.
1t was purely party triumph, for
both Peabody and Mcdonald are Re-
publicans, and Adams is a Democrat.
Although the Republican majority on
joint ballot is 35, the membership of
the legislature being sixty-six Repub-
licans and thirty-one Democrats, it had
been found impossible to gain for Pea
body enough Republican votes to rein
state him as governor for the remain
der of the biennial term ending in
January, 1907
Bargain Is Finally Made.
Twenty-Five Republican members of
the general assembly, according to re-
port, refused to be bound by any ac-
ton in caucus on the contest, and en-
tered into compact not to vote for
Peabody. A majority Of them, how
ever, was in favor of seating the lieu
tenant governor in the governors chair
if means could be found to do so legal
ly. Finally the leaders of the oppos-
ing Republican factions arranged a
compromise by which Peabody would
be vindicated by being declared elect
ed, and Mcdonald would be made gov
ernor.
Peabody to Resign at Once.
At the conference at which the bar
gain was made pledges were given to
the independent Republicans by the
heads of four large corporations who
had been active supporters of Peabody
that he would retire after being seat
eel, and permit the lieutenant governor
to take the office of governor. Gov
ernor Peabody's resignat ton, it is said,
was placed in the hands of w. s.
Boynton, and will be filed by him with
the secretary Of state today.
Adams Considers 1t an Outrage.
Governor Adams, who had spent the
day packing his effects, surrendered his
office to Governor Peabody shortly aft
er 8 p. m. Scores of letters. kilograms
and telephone messages had reached
the executive chamber during the day.
urging Governor Adams to hold his
seat by force, but he decided - ignore
this advice. In conversation he said
he felt outraged at the action of the
general assembly, and expressed sur
prise that Peabody should become
party to what he termed conspiracy
to secure the office of governor for a
man who had no claim whatever to
the place. Governor Adams will issue
a formal statement to the people re-
garding the result of the contest.

st. Petersburg, March II, 80 a. m.
- With the evacuation of Tie pass
Wednesday night the Russian army
abandoned the last stronghold in
southern Manchuria, and definitely
turned over the section to the Jap
anese for the campaign of 1905. At
least no other strategy is possible for
General Kuropatkin, in view of his
Rcanty supplies of ammunition and
stores, the shattered condition of his
army and the wide enveloping move
ments which the Japanese have con-
tinued almost without a stop since the
Russian defeat at Mukden. Nothing
has been heard of the part which
General Kawamura's army is taking
In these operations, but Generals Nogi
and Oku, operating in the low hills of
the Tie pass gorge, were themselves
sufficient to turn the shattered Russian
army out of the Notifications which
had been prepared with view to be-
ing held by the army after it should
have been withdrawn from Mukden.
They Expect Kuropatkin to Escape.
The Japanese evidently are doing
their utmost to accomplish the envel-
opment of the Russian army, which all
but succeeded at Mukden, but General
Kuropatkin, with the railway for a
line of retreat, probably will be able
to keep ahead of his pursuers. A con-
slant succession of delaying rear-guard
encounters may be expected. Military
men here have but the haziest ideas
as to where the next stand will be
made. Apparently there are no more
fortified positions in readiness.
Involves Heavy Loss OF MatesieI.
The evacuation Of Tie pass involves
the loss of the coal mines in that Vi
entity, which. with the Fushun and
Yentai mines gone. is a severe blow.
The railway shops at Tie pass and sup
plies We're sacrificed.

Leavenworth. Kan, Oct 31-The
binding Irvine plant of the Kansas
penitenhary is again in operation after
having been shut down about four
months, The plant closed the last of
June and an attempt was made to re-
sumo operations the first week in Sep

be taken apart and repairs made in
Erie, Pa, and all is again in running
order.
There is a good supply of sisal on
hand, which was purchased in May
at bargain. There is a stock of man
ufactured Irvine on hand now of near
~ 100000 pounds, and if the plant is
kept in steady operation million
pounds can be stored for sale next
summer.

then obliged, before putting it in force,
to submit it to the government for ap-

ton of a new rate or a change in rates,
we fix the rate ourselves and then take
it up with the government officials, and
argue it out with them. we speaking
from the standpoint of revenue for the
company and development of the traffic,
and they from the standpoint of the
public interest. AS the result of such

the instance of the government by refer
ence to interested parties or localities,
which takes a lot of time we finally
come to an agreement on the rate and
then it is put in force. We don't make
many reductions in .rates-perhaps al
most never, except as they are forced
upon US by the government. Under ex-
listing conditions we cannot wisely do
it. The government is always asking
for reductions here and there, attempts
being constantly made to reduce all
rates to the same mileage basis, or very
near to it. The position taken by the
government is usually due to political
pressure from some locality or indus
try, and is therefore generally not along
sound business lines. They urge some
thing that runs counter to the laws of
nature and the laws Of trade, and our
rates are thus more and more q matter
of politics rather than of sound railway
administration, leading constantly
toward a distance tariff In twenty
years, at the rate we are going, I don't
know where we shall land"

LONG WIRELESS MESSAGE.
Fort Leavenworth May Have Caught
a Line From Porto Rico.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. S1.-While
experimenting with kites in wireless te-
legraphy Captain William Mitchell, in
command of the signal company, believes
that the operators caught a message OIL
the coast of Porto Rico. If this proves
true it was the longest wireless telegraph
message ever transmitted. The signal
company was out with its kites high IN
the air, nearly three-quarters of mile,
when a message was caught from the
steamer Maverick This is said to be a
Standard oil steamer making a trip to
Porto Rico. Captain Mitchell will write
east to learn if the Maverick was near
Porto Rico.
Captain Mitchell is now at work on
balloon-kite that can be sent up quickly
in any kind of heavy weather. 1t IS a
combination with light gas balloon
above and tight bamboo kite below.
Once high in the air the kite will sustain
satisfactory. Experiments with the bal
Ioon-kite probably will be made this
week.
The exploding of mines by wireless tel
egraph is demonstrated here in prac-
teal manner. Captain Mitchell has made
many practical tests at exploding fuses
or mines at both long and short dis
tances. A cOherer is attached to the cir
cult close to the fuse and an explosion
made by Hertzian waves transmitted
from a distant electrical apparatus. Cap
tain Mitchell believes that in time this
can be so perfected as to explode an enc
ny's mines at long distance Captain
Mitchell gave a practical demonstration
of the exploding of a fuse back of the sig
nal barracks when rain was falling.

Mrs. Teeters had been running a board
ing house and one of her boarders was
r. A. Demander, who, it is alleged, had
won the Widows heart and later left
her and forgot to pay his board bill.
Mrs. Teeters sued Demander for the
amount of the bill and got judgment.

the case uD in a humorous strain and
Mrs. Teeters took exception to his ref

Bile with a whip concealed under her
dress. When she got close enough she
laid on, Young took to the street and
escaped injury.
