By Associated Fre-.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-United
States Senator William Bromage Bate
of Tennessee. twice governor of his
state, veteran of both the Mexican
and Civil Wars, rising from private to
major general in the Confederate army
in the latter. and for eighteen years a
conspicuous member of the upper
house of congress-, died at his hotel
apartments in this city today. He was
rs years old. Death was due to pneu-
monia and detective heart action.
Senator Bate attended the Inaugural
tion ceremonies on March and his
death is believed to be due primarily
to exposure on that occasion. He suf-
fered slight chill on that day. He,
however, continued his official duties
and occupied his seat in the senate last
Tuesday. He 1pecame suddenly i'll at
the dinner table, that evening and i'm
medlately called for a physician. He
was put to bed and his condition was
recognized as serious.
Despite the eff orts of his physician,
he became steadily worse and all hope
for his recovery was given up yester-
day. Senator Bate was entirely con-
scious until his death, and, realizing
that the end was near, asked that he be
buried at his old home in Nashville.
Besides the widow, two daughters,
Mrs. Thomas F. Masten of Tennessee
and Mrs. Ozro w Childs of Los An
geles, survive the senator. A brother,
Capt. Bate of Tennessee. and sister.
Mrs. Harris of California. were sent
for, but were unable to reach here
before his death.
Senator Bates remains will be taken
to his old home at Nashville and will
be inferred in the Mount Olivet ceme-
terry there.

Washington last night. She will ac-

Attacking the Railroads

individuals and small parties have
reached the railroad. cut the telegraph
wires and dslodged a few rails but
the damages were quickly repaired and
the perpetrators usually killed or
wounded.
Around the village of Pachiatzu there
ragged a fierce struggle. A veteran
regiment of the Imperial rifles dis
tinguished itself especially. members
earning st. George crosses time and
again in supporting and rescuing raw
regiments. Lieutenant-Colone Sapot-
ski, brilliant and beloved officer, one
of the heroes of Lao Yang, who chose
to die rather than surrender, was
killed at Pachiatzu.
Just behind Pachiatzu. under the
shadow of clump of pines In the
park of the imperial tombs, sits the
commander of another division, Col.
Launitz, directing the attack on San
taitze and the defense of Ushuntun.
With swish like that of the silken
skirts of well dressed dame, shimose
shells whistle past and occasionally
bullets whistle by. Every few minutes
the bell of the telephone at his feet
jingles and he reports to the COM
mander of the army. At length a Co.'S
sack orderly gallops up and reports
that the Russian troops are leaving
Pachiatzu; that the japanese have
seized the village and with it the
bodies of Sapotski and half his regi-
ment.
Another of the dead is Prince Mar
keff, commander of the same regiment.
In the middle of the afternoon in a
cloud of dust and surrounded by his
staff and escort, Gen. Kaulbars canters
up, sits quietly a few minutes under
fire inspecting the position. and then
continues his rounds.

WAT OFFICE GLOOMY
st. Petersburg Admits kuroPatkin's
Bloody Defeat

ST. PETERSBURG, March g. GAO p.
m.-The general staff officers can fur
nish no clear explanation of the exact
situation at Mukden, declining to make
public any details beyond those con-
tained in the official dispatches. The
atmosphere of the war office is in
tensely gloomy. The officials admit
that Gen. Kuropatkin has suffered a
bloody defeat, but they insist that it
is not a decisive disaster. Their eX-
PLANTATION of the dispatches of Gen.
Kuropatllin and Gen. Sakharoff, report
ing fighting on the north 'front.' is
that they refer to Japanese attempts
to break through the Russian line

acknowledgment that Gen. Nogi has
already severed the Russian line of
communications and enclosed at least
portion of Gen. Bilderling's army.
which was bringing up the rear.
The dispatches of the Associated
Press show beyond doubt that Gen.
Nogi has actually succeeded in reach
ing the railroad, although it was spe
officially affirmed that the line was re-
paired and reopened. 1t is possible
that this temporary interruption may
have caused the Toxic report.
That Flying Column
The most important communication
development of the day is the report
that a flying column has appeared
northeast of Mukden and is rapidly
heading west. This, probably, is part
of Gen. Kuroki's army, which is max
ing detour by forced marches and
swinging around to effect juncture
with Gen. Nogi. If the vancouver sue
ceeds the net will be closed.
The general staff admits that the
carnage in the battle will probably ex-
ceed anything in modern warfare, al
though staff officers insist that the
Japanese must have sustained the
heaviest losses. The Russians believe
they surely will reach $4,000.
In addition to the eastern Chinese
railway and the Mandarin road, it
turns out that the Russians have a
narrow gauge railroad connecting
Mukden with Tie pass over which to
effect their withdrawal from their po-
sitions.

convincing the people that his efforts
are fer the welfare of the country and
