SENATORS TURN ARTISTS

When committee meetings grow tire
some some Of the most dignlfied mem-

them from becoming "fidgety' before

st. Petersburg. March 7.-According
TO correspondents with the Russian
army the tide ofzbattle yesterday was
gradually rolling back from the imme-
diate vicinity of Mukden. operations up
10 noon having resulted in the capture
Of several villages west and southwest
Of Mukden; but late in the afternoon
the Japanese inaugurated a series Of
desperate attacks, the outcome of which
is still not chronicled. General Kaul-
bars. who IS considered to be the best
OF General Kuropatkin's subOrdinates,
has taken personal charge of the oper-
ations in this field. The commander
in-chief also is devoting his attention
to the fighting in the same locality.
At latest reports the Japanese had
also launched an attack against Putt
lon Hin and other points on the Rus
sian front presumably with the inten-
tion OF regaining positions from which
the Russians had ousted them during
the night, and also 10 prevent General
Kuropatlvln from dispatching further
reinforcements against General Nogis
hard pressed veterans The latter. how
ever. have gotten up heavy field ar
tillery to their support making a much
more even fight against the Russian
cannon.
The war Office estimates the number
wounded in the battle of Mukden al
$4,000. including 2S4 officers, but makes
no statement regarding the number OF
dead. This undoubtedly is a conserva-
tive statement The Japanese losses
according TO the same source of infor-
nation. are estimated at 10000.
The optimistic tone Of the war cor,
respondents is reflected in military
circles here. It is considered that ever
II General Kuropatkin has not sue
ceeded in delivering a crushing blow
at the Japanese, he has at least in
sured the possibility of withdrawing

sired pressure to insure a thorough
scrubbing OF the surface under treat
ment.
AS shown in the accompanying illus.
tration, the machine is provided at the
upper end with a padded brenstplate
which may be strapped to the body Of
the operator. The scrubbing brush Is
connected by a universal joint with a
driving shaft, which passes up through
n tubular member of the main frame
The tubular member is also connected
by a universal joint with a sleeve on
the spindle OF the scrubbing brush. A
bevel pinion at the upper end Of the
driving shaft meshes with the driving
gear. which is mounted on the main
frame and rotated manually by means
Of a crank.
A handle is formed on the tubular
member Of the frame by which the
scrubbing brush may be conveniently
directed while in operation. the requi-
site pressure being at the same time
applied by the body bearing against
the breastplate. Owing TO the univer-
sal joint connection between the frame
and the bearing sleeve Of the scrub
bing brush the brush is held at all
times level and in proper contact with
the floor.
