FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE
BLOODY REPULSE OF JAPANESE
ATTACK NEAR TIE PASS.
American Steamer Seized With Reput-
ed Supplies for Vladivostok -
Kuropatkin's Available Troops.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 10. G:2i pm
1t is now definitely stated that Emperor
Nicholas has approved the decision of the
council of war to send Grand Duke Nieh-
oIas Nicholaievitch to replace General
Europatkin as the best means of putting
stop to the intrigues and jealousles among
the generals of the army both at ST. Peters
burg and at the front. General Soukhom-
linoff will be chief Of staff.
While no further dispatches have been
received from the front to show whether
the renewal of the fighting yesterday was
continued today there w&s a persistent re-
port on the bourse that Lieutenant General
I.inevitch has achieved a notable coup
against General Nog cutting off and sur
rounding two divisions which were march
ing north to the west of Tie Pass with the
view to engaging in a new turning move
ment.
The fight yesterday indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama is determined to pursue
the Russians to the bitter end.
Gen. Kuropatkin, in a dispatch dated
March IA says
"A fierce japanese attack on the center
of our positions at the Fan river (about
thirteen miles south Of Tie Pass) has
been repuIsed. More than a thousand
corpses remain in front of our positions"
The Fan river may be described part
Of the outer line of defenses of Tie Pass,
which probably led to the report that an
attack had been made on Tie Pass itself.
Paris Bourse Prices Heavy.
PARIS. March 1.-the tone on the bourse
today was heavy, owing to the uncertain
ties of the war. \ strong belief prevailed
that peace will follow the recent fighting,
hut This had no favorable effect on the
market as it was still feared that the
peace movement would prove deceptive.
At the close the tone was indecisive and
prices were heavy. Russian imperial fOurs
were quoted at S3I5 and Russian bonds of
1904 at JU3.

Hope has been abandoned of ratifying the

was Thomas Deegan and that he lived in
Monroe street, one of the better class res
idential sections of Brooklyn The dead
woman, he said, was Miss Mary Savage,

Would Force Distribution Of Surplus

TRENTON, N. J., March 15.-Richard
Siegman of New York today instituted suit
in the court of chancery to compel the
Electric Vehicle Company to use an alleged
surplus for the payment of dividends upon
common and preferred stock aggregating
S224 800. Siegman charges that the COM
pany had net earnings which should have
been devoted to the payment OF strict divi-
dends. This is a suit similar to one insti-
tuted by Seigman two years ago. but which
was decided against him on the ground that
the bill submitted did not present sufficient
grounds for his getting the relief for which
he prayed.

was intimated that notification to that ef-
feet had been given to the White House
today. The administration senators were
disinclned, however to have the treaty
fail on record vote. and thought that
II the necessary three votes could not be
obtained it would be better just to ad-
journ the special session and let the whole
matter drop in that way.
This method was very acceptable to some
senators who would have voted for the
treaty If put to the touch. but were very
well content not to be required to do vio-
lence to their incinations. 1t was thought
that it might be possible to adjourn today.
but that was not certain as number
of nominations remained to be acted upon,
and ii is desired to get all of this routine
work cleared up before final adjournment.
1t was the expectation of the leaders this
afternoon that if the Senate did not ad-
Journ by nightfall it would be practically
sure to finish tomorrow, and close the spe-
cial session
