Mukden, March 6.-The rumble Of
carts In the streets in Mukden Is
drowned by the roar of battle which
is raging a few miles away between
Gen. Nogi's Port Arthur veterans and
the hastily assembled army inter-
posed by Gen. Kuropatkin to defend
the city and railroads. The stroke
came like lightning out Of clear sky.
It is reported that the situation has
somewhat improved but 1t is still ex-
tremely critical.
The carnage at the ecenter and on
both tanks has been enormous. The
Japanese at many places simply threw
away their lives, beating against the
Russians powerful Notifications in
attacks which, in the center, apparent
ly were intended chiefly as a demon
stration to cover the driving home of
Gen. Nogi's blow. 1t is believed now
that the operation to the eastward was
in part In the nature Of feint, with
the design to draw reinforcements
thither. II this was the design 1t was
successful, Gen. Kuropatkin having
sent the first corps to the assistance
Of Gen. Llnevitch. As the results Of
the weeks operations the Russian
right Isl bent sharply backward instead
Of paralleling the Shakhe river and
now runs northwest and southeast,
passing eight miles from Mukden,
covering the Sinmintin road.

oyama is continuing his great drives
around both TANKS Of the Russian
army. His front is now q huge bow, the
base on the Shakhe river, the right arm
reaching a point east Of Fushun, and
the laft arm extending to a point west
of Mukden. He Is steadily tightening
the great cord OF men and steel. Gen.
Kuropatkin is striving desperately to
check the Japanese advances, contest
ing the flank entertainments and ham
mering the Japanese center. The Japan
ese are making heavy gains OF ground
west Of the railway and have captured
great quantities Of stores and other
spoils. There has already been bloody
fighting and heavy losses, and this
will be increased when the masses Of
infantry meet.
Estimates of Gen. Kurpoatkin's forcA
between Shakhe and Tie pass, prepared
here, give total Of slightly more than
100000, composed of $4,000 infantry,
$4,000 cavalry and $4,000 artillary
with 1904 guns. This estimate does not
include troops at Vladivostok and other
garrisons, railway guards and other
employees. The grand total east of Lake
Raikal Is estimated at 100000 men.
st. Petersburg, March 6.-The ad-
vanced guard of the Japanese left
army was within 5 " miles of Mukden
station Saturday. Other Japanese had
captured Suchudzia and Lanschanpa
the same day while their attacks on
Putil off hill and 10 fierce assaults on
Kandolesan were repulsed.
Toxic, March 6.-The Russians,
driven from Chin Hocheng, passed Ia
lien and have remained at Samlungku
four days resting the japanese ad-
vance. The Russians there, although
having received reinforcement Of over
10000, show signs of retreat. The jap
anese have firmly established commu-
nication with Benslhu, and activity oh
on grand scale is expected.
Mukden, March Gan artillery duel
is on westward of Mukdep and the jap
anese shells are exploding within three
miles of the imperial tombs. The line
of the Japanese advance guards ex-
tend about seven miles parallel with
the railway. Scattered Chinese viii
lagos are practically the only shelters
in this open plain, are receiving par
tlcular attention from the gunners.
Throughout the day the Russian bat
teries replied vigorously to the Japan
ese fire and the exchange Of shrapnel
has been terrific The whole Of the
fire zone is obscured by dense white
smoke from exploding missiles.
Refugees are arriving here from Sin
mintin and the region north of the
Hun river. At the close of yesterdays
battle on the west front the Japanese
who were taken prisoners were unable
TO walk or remain awake on account
Of exhaustion. and lay like dead I'M

tremendous effort back Of Gen. Nogi's
advance.

General Chaffee in England.

London, Otc. 5.-NOtwithstandin
the determingation to make his visit
to England entirely unofficial, Lieu
tenant General Chaffee was the recip-
lent Of many invitations, some of
which he has been induced to accept.
King Edward, through Sir Thomas
Upton, expressed a uesire to see Gen.
eral Chaffee, but an engagement pre-
cludes the possibility of his going to
Balmoral, where the king is now re-
siding. The only official recognition
of General Chaffee. therefore, will be
luncheon in his honor to be given by
the lord mayor at the mansion house
tomorrow. Besides the American mill
itary officers who will be there, the
members of the American embassy and
other prominent persons viii be pres
ent. War Secretary Arnold-Foster
and Field Marshal Lord Roberts are
absent from London, SO they were
obliged to decline their invitations.
Immediately after the luncheon Gen.
erals Chaffee and Crozier will go to
Wrest park. Bedfordshire, where they
will be the guests of Ambassador and
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid for a couple Of
days.

tlrely to small receipts, offerings in
the week being only $4,000, against
45,OOO week ago and $4,000 a year
ago. This big decrease in supplies
was partly accounted for by reason
OF the big slump in values last week.
and also through scarcity of cars in
the range country consequent to the
excessive shipping operations. Cars
have been sent back hurriedly. how
ever, and the northwest is again in
shape to dump big supply of stock
onto the market if the rangemen's s
wills turn that way. Under much larg-
er marketing here next week there can
hardly be very free selling of the
rangers, and traders urge cattle own
ers to hold receipts down to moderate
volume. Warm weather is interfering
with liberal trade in beef, and pack
ers claim to have big stocks in their
coolers and much increased marketing
of rangers next week can hardly avert
a reaction from the present slightly
higher level of values. Quality of
most steers has been of plain grade
during the week, though some good
Dakotas have arrived, including one
choice lot which landed up to IS. The
Dakota cattle have shown improved
quality over last season, demonstrat-
ing to the traue here that smaller
rangemen up there have been paying
close attention to breeding up their
herds, thus putting much better
grade of cattle onto the market at
relatively the same cost as the poorer
ones in former years. AS an instance
of the improvement in some Dakota
herds sale this week may be cited.
One Dakota rangemen sold a string
OF well bred steers here for $4, while
two years ago this same owner ship.

this week at $3.50 and under. He
like many Others has since been breed
ing up his herd, and the price this
week proves to him that it pays.
