Believed KufOpatkin is Being
 Forced to Withdraw
KUROK'S VETERANS BUSY
Japanese Are Well Supplied With Field Guns and Mortars-kuro-
 patkin's Communications
 Seem to Be Threatened.

St. Petersburg, March 2. 2:50 a. m.-The down over the events In Manchuria. There Is no news of the results of yesterday s fighting. Dispatches describing the pie turesque events of the night retreat from Da Pass and the all-night combat at the railroad bridge across the Shakhe river have been allowed to come through. but nothing to show whether General Kuro- patlkin Is withdrawing or is determined to stand his ground.
 It Is significant that no news has been received from the threatened left flank, the last dispatches leaving the Russians clinging desperately to Oubenepusa against strong force of General Ku- rolSi's veterans. Although 1t is not ad- mitted at the war office. the general im- presslon in military circles is that Gen eral Kuropatkin may be compelled to withdraw. 1t is now known that General Kuroki Is threatening his communica- ton, and the fortlfications at Novogord and Putiloff hills appear to be crumbling away, with the keys to the position of the Russian center
 The Japanese guns that levelled the fortress of Port Arthur and made that Gibraltar untenable are doing the same work against KuropatlSin. The advance of the right wing seems for the moment to have come to a standstill. The Japanese are well supplied with siege guns and mortars. Magnificent spring weather set in today.

COLORADO FIGHT
 STILL INTERESTING
ONE REPUBLICAN MEMBER DE-
 SlRES TO MAKE MCDONALD GOV
 ERNoR As A COMPROMISE BE- TWEEN PEABODY AND ADAMS.

Denver, March 1.-After long execu- tive session of the gubernatorlal contest committee, thirteen of the eighteen re- publican members signed a report in fa- vor of seating James II. Peabody in the chair of Governor Ava Adams and the nine democrats signed a report in fa- vor of continuing Governor Adams in of- flee. The other five republican mem bers. including Chairman William IT. Griffith, refused to sign either report.
 Senator Alexander. a republican who refused to sign the Peabody report. made a hard fight during the afternoon for the rejection of the claims of both the con- testor and the contestee and pleaded for the seating in the governors chair of Lieutenant Governor Jesse Mcdonald. He found no supporters for this plan in the committee, but he may bring 1t up before the joint assembly as a cOmpro- mise measure. His argument was that there is no doubt of the election of Me Donald, while there is doubt as to wheth- CT Adams or Peabody was elected law fully.
 Tomorrow the House and the Senate will meet In joint session and receive the reports of the committee. Time will be allotted to the two sides for argument and in the afternoon 1t is expected that John M Waldron, chief counsel for Pea body, will open arguments.
 It is believed the vote will be reached Saturday night

Champagne and Pickles.
In England they have revived the
old story Of Gov. "Sam" Houston.
Houston was dining at the wnite
house TN Washington. For the first
time in his life he tasted champagne.
which proved much to his liking. To.
ward the end Of the banquet olives
were handed round, these being an ar.
ticle of diet also not contained in the
governors philosophy. He took an
olive in his mouth, and not liking the
taste, promptly returned 1t to his
plate. Just then President Jackson
looked down the table. "How are you
getting on, Gov. Houston? he re-
marked. There was moments ST.
lence as the distinguished assemblage
looked with interested curiosity at this
to them-new specimen of manhood
from a distant and then comparative
ly unknown part Of the west. "Well,
president" the new governor calmly
replied, II like the cider. but dern

CRAB LIVES ON cocoANuTa
Able With His Pincers to Remove
Husks and Break Into Shell.

Abe with His Pincers to Remove
Husks and Break Into Shell.
There Is a crab which lives on the
cocoanut. What curious thing for
q crab to eat! People used to say
that the crab climbed the tree to get
the nuts. But this is not believed to
be true.
The crab eats the nuts that have
fallen to the ground. He has a pair
Of strong pincers at the end OF MS
front claws. When he has found q
nut to his mind he begins to tear away
the husk, fiber by fiber.
And he hammers on the three weak
places in the shell, which are called
the eyes of the nut. He soon hammers
q hole right through them.
He has another pair Of pincers IN
his hinder claws. These are not so
strong as the others, but the crab BE-
gins to scoop out the kernel with
them.
He soon scoops out enough for his
dinner. He lives in deep hole, ana
the hole gets quite full OF fibers OF the
cocoanut which have been torn on.
He rests on these as on a bed.
This communicating crab Is quite
a delicacy. He gets so fat that some
times a quart Of oil Is yielded from
his body, You may think how strong
the pincers Of the crab must DC 70
creak the hard shell Of the cocoanut'
A captain of ship wanted to orins

But he was mistaken. The. crap useo

In doing so he had even punched noies

It is said the beauty Of the caves

thing wondrous. The latter rise from
the floor in the shape Of trees. Some
of them are thirty feet high. The sta

sorts of beautiful designs. Magruder
has gone into the cave distance OF
2,4O0 feet and found six or seven mag
nificent crystallized chambers. Sew.
eral of them are of great size and
height. At the end of the cavern Tiers
is an abyss far down in which can be
heard the roar and splash of running
waters. An attempt will be made by
Magruder to find the depth of this
abyss and try to trace the source OF
the hidden river.
