TIDE is ROLLING BACK.
Outcome Of Battle, However, is Still
Far From Decided.

st. Petersburg, March 7.-According
to correspondents with the Russian ar
my the tide of battle yesterday was
mediate vicinity of Mukden, operations
up to noon having resulted In the cap
ture of several villages west and south
west of Mukden; but late in the after
noon the japanese inaugurated a SER
les of desperate attacks the outcome of
which is still not chronicled. General
Kualbars, who is considered the best Of
General Kuropatkin's subordinates, has
taken personal charge of the opera
tions in this field. The commander in
chief also,is devoting his attention to
the lighting in the same locality.
At latest reports the Japanese had
also launched an attack against Pout-
iloff hill and other points on the Rus
sian front, gaining positions from
which the Russians had ousted them
during the night and also to prevent
General Kuropatkin from dispatching
further reinforcements against General
Nogi's hard pressed veterans. The
latter, however, have gotten up heavy
field artillery to their support, making
a much more even fight against the
Russinan cannon.
The Russians claim minor successes
against Gen. Kuroki, who presumably
having shot his bolt and effected at
least one of his objects, that of draw
ing Russian reinforcements, may have
forwarded a part of his army to re-
inforce the center and west flank.

I.ur;.r policy stirs Northwest.

T ottawa, March 1.-THE storm arous-
ed by Laurier's northwest autonomy
legislation, is spreading. The bills, II
put thru parliament in their present
shape, would deprive the two provinces
to be carved out of the territories OF
the ownership of their lands. an enor-
nous area Of fertile, unsettled country,
and the control Of their schools.
The opinion is expressed IN non
partisan quarters that the people Of the
new provinces will refuse autonomy
saddled with the conditions the fed
eral prime minister has laid down. Or
gans of the opposition in Ontario re-
gard Sir Wilfrid's policy as the begin
ming of "a new struggle" between the
hierarchy and the state. The Toronto
World says: There was never SO far
reaching an effort made to put the
whole of the dominion under the dom
ination of the province of Quebec. But
1t was only the raising Of the curtain,
Petitions to the house of commons
demanding provincial control OF the
schools are being circulated in every
city in the dominion. The petitioners
further pray that the provinces be
given full power over the official IAN
guage to be used in the legislative as
semblies and courts and in all other
matters generally understood to De OF

est reserves to make selections else
where in exchange for their forest re-
serve lands. In 1900 these lieu selec-
ftions were limited to surveyed lands.
Since the passage Of these acts, nearly
100000 acres of forest reserve lands
have been exchanged for other lands,
and almost universally the exchange
has been made for timber lands out
side of forest reserves. Nearly half
of this land so exchanged is owned by
the land grant railroads. A report to
congress from the commissioner of the
general land office places the amount
of lands still held by these roads IN
forest reserves at two and half mil
lion acres, and the prohibition in the
act in question, that hereafter lieu Sc
lections must be made from untimber-
ed lands. is calculated to save just that
much timbered land which is outside
of forest reserves.

MEN FIGHT like DEMONS.
Battle on Russian Right is Wased
With Ferocity,

Mukden, Sunday, March 5.-A cor
respondent of the Associated Press has
just returned from spending the entire
day, March 4, with the Russian van
guard or the right flank, where Gen.
Nogi is attacking desperately, espec-
tally at Machiapu, where there is a
crossing of the Hun river four miles
below the railroad. He says all the
Japanese attacks, March 4, were re-
pulsed, but only owing to the most
heroic fighting, which was renewed
this morning.
The vast plain of the Lao and Hun
river valley presented brilliant pam
oramic scene. The day being clear and
sunny the movement on both sides
were distinctly visible excep hen
clouds or yellow dust raised py the
gusty west wind swirled down and hid
the shining lines of infantry Charge
followed charge, attack, repulse and
counter attack, Russians and Japanese

Russian Retreat Blocked.

London, March THE Toxic COR
respondent Of the Daily Telegraph has
reported that the retreat of the Rus
sian center has been cut off. The
heights, five miles west of Mukden, are
being t'omParded with numerous heavy
guns. and their capture is imminent.
Enormous quantities Of supplies
have been captured.
Fighting continues desperately and
the losses are appalling.
The occupation 'of Mukden by the
Japanese is expected from March 10 to
March IL.
The Telegraph's correspondent at
Simminting says there was heavy
fightin on Monday six miles south of
Mukden. Many villages We're destroy
ed and the natives are homeless. The
Mukdell road is still cut off.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Mail says, although it is not
openly admitted, that Mukden is be-

eral staff confessed Monday afternoon
that ore side of the city no longer is
occupied by the Russians. There is
reason to believe that he referred to the
Russian settlement, consisting of the
official residences and stores, which
cluster around the station three miles
west of the city proper, which the
Japanese artillery, advancing from the
west, have rendered incapable of be-
ing occupied. This means that the
railway line practically has ceased to
exist as a way out of Mukden.
The greatest anxiety, however, is felt
regarding the safety not of Mukden,
but of Telling, since the position of the
latter place is quite as assailable as
Mukderl, both from the west and the
east.

Washington, March 7.-Senator All-
ison and Congressman Dawson had a
talk with the president today relative
to the appointment Of Dobson to suc-i
ceed Mahin at Nottingham, England.
It appears there has been gross mis-
understanding. The president was
given to understand from a very high
quarter, which he thought justified the
conclusion, that Mahin could be retired
without displeasure to the Iowa dele-
cation and the appointment was made
without consulting the delegation.
When the facts were presented to the
president he, declared he desired Ma
hin to remain at Nottingham. Dobson
will be given one of several positions
under consideration.

Materia.izing Medium Dragged From
Cabinet and Exposed.
New York, March z. Rev. Mrs.
Herman, a Undertaking. medium, was
dragged shrieking from her cabinet
last night and tossed into the center
Of the circle of people attending a
seance in her apartments.
She was a most substantial spirit,
weighing at least 800 pounds. and she
fought like trapped tigress Furni-
ture was smashed, men knocked down
and glass broken before Mrs. Hermann
and her husband were finally captured.
When three gas jets were lighted,
Mrs. Herman was found gasping in
the center of the seance room, clad in
a mass of gauze coated with phosphor-
escent paint Half her spiritual garb
and her headpiece were in the posses
sion Of Calvert Berwick, a Vilginian,
who made the exposure.
Mr. Berwick's mother, a resident of
this city. has lost thousands of dollars
in investments made thru the advice
of the spirits.
The exposure was the most sensa-
tional and complete ever made in this
city. Mr. Berwick's cousin, Harrison
Grindtry, was with him at the seance
and struck a light while the fight was
going on in the cabinet. Immediately
half a dozen or more confederates at
tackled Mr. Grindtry and Mr.. Berwick
and fought to prevent the medium be-
ing dragged into the seance room.
A battle followed and it was not
until they had knocked several men
down that they were enabled to flood
the room with light.
The rooms in which the exposure oc-
Cured presented a mcst unusual scene
after the conquest of the spirit. Bro
ken bits of chandelier covered the
floor, chairs were overturned and
strips of cheesecloth covered the floor.
A ,tinkling music box played Peace
Abide With Thee" during the fight.
