COMPELLED no RETIRE.
Russian Successes Only Temporary
Forced to Give Up Bridge.

Russian Army Headquarters, Huan
Mountain, March 1.-After an all night
battle the Russian forces which seized
the railroad bridge across the Shakhe
river retired after having destroyed the
japanese >Sifications at the further
end OF the DIldge and thrown the Jap
anese forces there into CONSERVATION.
The Japanese losses were heavy. The
attack ON the bridge began at 3 o'clock
Tuesday evening. Under cover of a
heavy bombardment by field siege and
mortar batteries, Russian chasseurs
dashed forward and crossed the bridge,
which was illuminated by Japanese
.searchlights; drove back the defenders,
and occupied the further end Of the
bridge. There the chasseurs threw up
hasty entrenchments and soon drove
the Japanese from their defenses at the
head Of the bridge. An hour later 9TH
er chasseurs rushed across the bridge
and seized and fortified a thicket oppo-'
site Lamuting, overcoming a number Of
Wold holes and wire entanglementS, and
blew up the Japanese redoubts. The
artillery meanwhile kept up the bonn
bardment and succeeded by midnight
in demolishing the Japanese search
light. Then a stubborn fight in the
darkness began, the, gloom being but
slightly alleviated by the pale light of
the stars and the reflection from fires
kindled by the explosion of shells. The
Japanese brought up their ,quick-tire
guns and forced the Russians to abaI-
don the thicket, from which position
the Japanese proceeded to lombard the
regiments holding the head of the
bridge. il.
The fight was desperate and at close
quarters. The Japanese rushed up
heavy columns Of reinforcements and
charged repeatedly across the river,
strewing the ice with the bodies of their
dead. At dawn the Russians retired
across the river, carrying their wound
ed, but leaving one hundred dead
behind.
The Russians are exultant over the
losses inflicted upon the Japanese in
this rally, and are eager to renew the
fighting.

GoVERNoRsHIP FIGHT.
Colorado Republicans Fail to Agree
Unanimously to Seat Peabody.

+
Denver, March i.After a long legis-
lative session of the gubernatorial con-
test committee this afternoon thirteen
of the eighteen republican members
signed report in favor of seating
James H. Peabody, and the nine demo-
Gratis signed a report in favor of con-
tinuing Governor Alva Adams in the
office. The other five republican mem
.bers, including Chairman William III.
Griffith, refused to sign either report.
Senator Alexander, one of the repub-
Iicans who refused to sign the Peabody
report, made hard fight duriny the
afternoon for the rejection of the claims
Of both the contestor and contestee and
the seating in the governors chair of
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald. He
found no supporters for this plan in the
committee, but he may bring it up be-
fore the joint assembly as a compro-
mise measure. His argument was that
there is no doubt Of the election of Mr..
Mcdonald, while there is doubt as to
whether Adams or Peabody was elected
lawfully.
Tomorrow the house and senate will
meet in joint session and receive the re-
ports of the committee. Time will be
allotted to the two sides for argument,
and in the afternoon it is expected that
John M. Waldron, chief counsel for
Peabody, will open arguments. Tt is
believed a vote win be reached satur-
day night.

PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL:
CONGRESS TO KNOW ALL
JOINT RESOLUTION FOR FUR
THEIR INVESTIGATION.
introduced in the House-committee
Proposed to Sit During summer in
This Country and Panama--.Anxiety
to Learn Something Definite About
Proposed pipe Line Across Isthmus.


Washington, March Members Of
the house subcommittee, who have
been investigating the management
and operation of the Panama railroad
have heard enough curious and inter-
esting facts about affairs on the isth-
mus to lead to a desire to broaden the
scope of the inquiry and continue their
work through the summer. A joint res
olution from the full committee on in
ter-state commerce was submitted to
the house to-day asking that it be au-
thorized to investigate '.the isthmian
canal and the Pauana railroad" through
committee to sit in the United
States, and at Panama. The resolu-
tion carries an appropriation of $4,000
to pay the expenses of the investiga-
tion
One of the subcommittee said to-day:
I'VE have heard enough to make us
want TO know more. Many charges
have been brought to our attention
which we have not had time to inyes-
tigate. Allegations have been made
which have not been supported by
proof, and we wish to probe then.''
Y The committee is particularly anx-
ious to learn something definite about
q proposed pipe line across the isthmus
and the identity Of the hackers Of the
scheme. The project has come to the
surface several times during the recent
hearings, but its diffident sponsors have
not shown themselves.
Then there are contracts of one sort
and another for supplies about which
the committee is anxious to secure de-
tails. Interesting developments are ex-
pected through the summer, as some Of
the important members Of the commit
tee are determined that the scandal
that marked the progress of the old
French company shall not characterize
our affairs Oh the isthmus. 1t is
thought, too, that early scrutiny will
have q salutary influence in nippingI
any grating schemes that may be un-I
der way.
