Colonies of Veteran Soldiers to Be
 Placed In Sonora by Mexico.
 Discharged Japanese soldiers may solve the Yaqui Indian problem in the state of Sonora, says a Mexico core spondent of the New York Herald. This is the hope of the Mexican gov eminent. which recently entered into a contract with the Imperial Japanese Colonization company for the colonisa- ton of Japanese in that state. The col onists will be given the connscated Yaqui lands and will be expected to prevent the Indians carrying produce and cattle out of the valleys to their hiding places in the mountains.
 The Yaquis are in the habit of ob- taining supplies by making periodical raids on the ranches in the valleys which at one time belonged to them. As soon as the colonization plans are put into effect the Indians will have veterans of far eastern campaigns in- stead of fear stricken natives to deal with. If the Yaquis can be prevented from getting supplies they can soon be starved Into submission.
 The colonization plans call for the settlement of the Japanese in groups in the center of tbe agricultural tracts. SO that they will be better prepared for defensive action against the Indians. The caiunists are to be furnished with arms and ammunition. About TOO for mer soldiers and their families will be settled in tie Yaqui country

NIUCHwANG, March 4. - Arrivals
from the Mukden road report that the
japanese are enveloping the city and
that its fall is imminent. A strong force
is moving southeast from Fakumen.
Gen. Nogi is advancing north along the
Lao river.
The Japanese on Friday cut off a
Russian division. four sotnias of Co.'S
sacks and twenty-siX guns, endeavor-
ing to regain Mukden. The Russians
were routed and they retreated toward
lie pass, abandoning their wounded.
The Japanese raid on Sinmintin
drew reinforcements from the Russian
stations on the Mukden trail to the
city, which is threatened, and all the
outppsts had been recalled to strength
en- its defense. At 10 o'clock this
morning Russian division encounter
ed japanese scouts near Laopien,
twelve miles from Mukden.
The Russians slowly advanced two
miles over a scrub covered plain. They
then encountered an increasing force
of japanese advancing in the face of
driving dust storm. At close range
thirty guns began discharging shrap-
mel at the Russians, who, becoming de-
moralized,, We're ordered to retire to
Tie pass. The Russian rereat, which
began at O'Clock in the afternoon, de-
Veloped into rout. The wounded
were left on the field. The Japanese
were not in sufficient force to envelop
the Russians, and a running fight to-
ward the north followed.
The Russians, it is reported, lost 5
officers and 200 men killed. The Japa-
nese loss is unknown.

Charles F. Thorpe Swallows
Weak Solution of Car.

Charles E. Thorpe, editor and man
ager of the Northwestern Shoe and

solution of carbolic acid, but was re-
Vlved at the city hospital.
After inviting his wife to meet him

dressed to Mrs. Thorpe, the other to
his two sons. After carefully sealing
the envelopes containing them he laid
them on his desk and as the hour of his
Wife's coming drew near he drank the
potion.
When Mrs. Thorpe entered the office,
shortly before 8 o'clock. she was horri-
fed to find the apparently lifeless form
OF her husband lying upon a sofa She
hurried over to the side of the couch
and soon ascertained that there was
still life in the body.
Then she summoned policeman,
who called the ambulance. DR.. Moore
answered the call, and although Thorpe
had partially regained consciousness
when the police surgeon arrived, the
case looked like one of fatal poisoning,
and while the doctor administered first
antitodes he was hurried to the hos
pital.
Under the influence of the stomach
pump the patient revived quickly, and
IN short time was considered well
enough to be sent back. He had drank
about half an ounce of a weak solution
of carbolic. acid, mixed in a glass of
water. When he was considered well
enough to leave the hospital the return
trip was started in the ambulance
with the intention of taking Thorpe to
the station that he might not make
any more attempts upon his life.
But Thorpe figured otherwise AS

wagon and ran rapidly away. No es-
pecial effort was made to catch him
