The so-called Hartman stocks were
about the strongest spot in the list. and
an effort was made by traders to foster
the idea of some sort of n deal affecting
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Illi-
nofs Central. Southern Pacific was
strong. but not aggressively so. as was
the case the day before. The chief
ACTIVITY of the clique operating in these
stocks seemed to have been shifted
from that stock to Illinois Central,
which advanced IL points in the fore
noon The buying was carried on large
ly by brokers who sometimes represent
Il. IL. Hartman. but the inference that
he was responsible for the movement
did not find much support.
The idea that the Union Pacific may
acquire the very large holdings of ILL.,
nois Central which are known to be
under the control OF the Hartman
party Is an old one. Il has frequently
been made to do duty as an expIana-
ton for professional movements in the
Hartman stocks. but has as frequently
been denied in banking quarters which
should be well Informed on matters OF
Hartman policy. The same thing NAV
be said Of reports that Southern Pacific
common would become a dividend payer
this year.

NOT A DECISIVE DISASTER
RUSSIAN WAR OFFICE ADMITS
kURoPATkIN SUFFERED A
BLOODY DEFEAT.

st. Petersburg, March 10.-The gen.
eral staff officers can furnish no clear
explanation of the exact situation at
Mukden, declining to make public any
details beyond those contained in the
Off cial dispatches.
The atmosphere of the war office is
intensely gloomy. The officials admit
that General Kuropatkin has suffered
a bloody defeat, but they insist that it
is not a decisive disaster. Their ex-
PLANTATION of the dispatches of Generals
Kuropatkin and Sakharoff reporting
fighting on the north front" is that
they refer to Japanese attempts to
break through the Russian line screen
ing the communications with Tie pass,
but the public regards it as an &C
acknowledgement that General Nogi has
already severed the Russian line of
communications and enclosed at least
q portion of General Bilderling's army,
which was bringing up the rear. The
dispatches of the Associated Press
show beyond doubt that General Nogi
has actually succeeded in reaching the
railroad, although it was specifically
affirmed that the line was repaired and
reopened. 1t is possible that this tenn
porary interruption may have caused
the Toxic report.
The most important known develop
ment of the day is the report that
flying Japanese column has appeared
northeast of Mukden and is heading
rapidly west. This probably is part OF
General Kuroki's army, which is max
ing a detour by forced marches and
swinging around to effect a juncture
with General Nogi. II the maneuver
succeeds the net will be closed.
1t is said here that General Kuropat-
kin with his headquarters staff is now
at Fankiatung station, on the railroad
ten miles below Tie pass.
The general staff admits that the
carnage in the battle will probably ex-
coed anything in modern warfare, al
though the staff officers insist that the
Japanese must have sustained the
heaviest losses. The Russians be-
lieye they surely will reach $4,000.
