Burn Their Supplies.

Mukden. March S.--(5 a. m.)-rhe Rus sian army is leaving positions south and southeast of Mukden. The sky is lighted rth the brilliant glare of burning ware uses. where tons of commissary sup plies have been given to the flames. The retirement Is being effected in perfect or der, the Russians beating off attacks of pursuing Japanese.
 The withdrawal was necessitated by a heavy concentration of Japanese west and northwest of Mukden, whither they have transferred a large share of the forces from the southern front to re- inforce the original striking force of General Nogi.
 The Russians still mold their position at Madyapu7 where a strong attack is expected at any moment.
 A division of .apane5e troops have ap- peared north of Mukden on the heights west of Hushatan station.
 Except for fights at Ushuntun and Tat achekieo Tuesday was quiet, compared with the fighting on the previous days. The Japanese evidently were compieting their transfer of troops.
 The Japanese arr, for furnishing ann munition along the enormous front. is acknowledged by Russian officers to be admirable.

STANDARD OIL co.
 IS STRIKING BACK
An Order Is Issued That Will Prove a Strong Blow to Kansas
 Oil Producers.

Independence. Kans.. March s.-The Prairie Oil and Gas company. the Kan sas branch of the Standard oil company today issued an order to the effect that hereafter no Kansas oil testing below 30 degrees gravity will be bought by the company. This affects nearly two-thirds of the Kansas product. Today's order is characterized as the hardest blow yet given by the Standard Oil company to the Kansas oil producers. as it means that practically no oil will be taken by this concern in Kansas outside of the bottom Independence field, Neodesha, Tyro and Chautaqua county. This will, 1t is believed. not affect the district where the state oil refinery is to be located.
 John O'Brien. vice president of the Prairie company. in explaining the order said:
 .Oil below thirty degrees gravity is un- desirable. It has no value for refining purposes and it is impossible to find a market for fuel"
 The gravity of Kansas oil is 20 to sl degrees. The average is 26

NEGRO DRowNs HIMSELF.
Dies Rather Than Submit to Arrest
 for Chicken Stealing.

Vicksburg, Miss, March 8.-Rather than submit to arrest on charge of stealing chickens John Dolan, colored drowned himself in the canal in front of this city this afternoon.
 When Dolan saw that the officers were overharling him he stepped into the canal and, holding his hands above his head, waded out into mid stream, where he was caught by the current and swept away. A similar case occurred last night, when an un- known negro, apparently demented, jumped into a cistern to escape pur- suit of police officers, and was drowned.

kuropatkin Sends the News.

St. Petersburg, March s--A dispatch from General Kuropatkn Gated March T says;
 "On the right bank of the Hun river the Japanese made several attacks on the Russian forces in front of the vil- lages of Yansentun and Yuanhuatan, but they were all repused
 "AlI the fierce attacks of the Japanese on Putiloff and Novgorod hills were like wise repelled, as well as night assaults on Kandolisan. The Russians captured three machine guns"
 Another dispatch from General Kuro- patlSin of the same date says:
 "The Japanese energetcally attacked Yuanhuatan and partially occupied the village but finally were repulsed.
 Japanese attacks on the center also beaten of.
 "on the left flank the Japanese attack ed Oubenepusa but recoiled before an almost point blank fire"
 In a dispatch dated March 6 General Kuropatkin reports that the Russians captured three machine guns and fifty additional prisoners in the vicinity of Pu- tiIoH hill.
 One of the Russian attachments ad- yancing on the Sinmntin road occupied the village of Sinvanache, near Tatche- lsiao, after a fierce fight but subsequently, was driven out by the Japanese, who are strongly defending Liukenahuan. east ward of Tatachekiao. and who have been reinforced from both the southwest and northeast.
 The Japanese losses were considerable during the attacks on Poutiloff and Novo- gord hills. The Japanese on several oc- casions turned their backs to the Rus sans. pretending to retreat until reach ing their own wire defenses. vixen they suddenly turned and resumed the offen- sive.

Congressman Tate to be Mad'
 District Attorney
BLOW TO GEORGIA REFEREES
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit tee Will Begin Taking Mass of Evidence to Be Presented
 to the Senate.

Washington. March s.-(SpeciaL)-An nouncement was made today that Presi- dent Roosevelt has offered the district att torneyship at Atlanta to former Congress- man Carter Tate of Georgia. MT. Tate is democrat and his term expired March 4. having heen defeated for renomination. The President turned down the regular Georgia republican organization which had several candidates for the place, all of them being men fully competent to hold the office.
 It is understod that President Roosevelt hardly knws MT. Tate, but when tho naval bill was before the House last month the President was highly pleased at his efforts in committee to secure the appropriation for two battleships. At that time he decided to offer Mr. Tate the place, though the member knew nothing of the matter until the tender was made long after the bill became law.
 The Georgia republicans are naturally very sore over the turn-down they have received from the President. They had hoped that the patronage in their state would not go the democratic way as 1t has in Alabama and other southern states, but they now find that one of the big gest places in the state is 70 be held by a democrat
 The President offered the place to MT. Tate for the same reasons which con- troled him in the appointment of Judge Jones and other democrats in the south. He has little use for the republican or ganizations in that section. Lelieving they exist entirely through patronage. He hopes by appointing democrats of stand Ing to federal offices that a respectable marty may be built up

JAPANESE ARE UTTERLY
 RECKLESS OF SACRIFICES,

All reports indicate that the Japanese were utterly reckless of sacrifices. mak- ing attack aftc- attack, and especially on the center and westward against ma- chine guns and infantry fire, which lit eraily moved down the advancing columns, making human flesh so cheap that the survivors could bastion them selves behind piles of corpses.
 After this action General Kuropatkin's deposition may be regarded as certain. War Minister Sakharoff is picked as his probable successor, though Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch of the board of strategists may be entrusted with the di- rection of affairs. A strong faction of the army, those high in influence about the Emperor. opposed General Kuropatkin from the. first and though his early de- feats were condoned because it was re- alized that General KuropatlSin was doing all that man could with the tools at his command 1t is now felt that after twice having had the opportunity to show what he could do with a powerful army and having failed to accomplish victory eith- CT time. his removal is advisable.
 A high military official said last night that the Emperor had enough of general whose interpretation of a victory was a successful retreat.

Oyama Has Proved Himself One of the Greatest Generals
 Since Napoleon
EUROPATKIN'S ONLY HOPE
 IS ID REACH TIE PASS
Russlan Public Has Not Heard the News-The Emperor VIII Prob ably Remove kuropatkin
 From Command.

St. Petersburg, March g, a. m.-The battle of Mukden has resulted in Rus sian defeat.
 Field Marshal Oyama has once more proved himself one of the greatest mas ters of offensive strategy since Napoleon, while General Kuropatkin is now engaged in endeavoring to defend his title as a master of successful retreats, and bring of his army with its immense train safely to Tie Pass where position was long ago prepared with this contingency in view.
 The problem before the Russian com mander-in-chief is much more difficult than the one he met successfully at Lao Yang, since now he Is threatened on both Hanks, his left wing being entangled in a mountainous region, far from the rail- road. Nevertheless Russian military men here express fair degree of confidence in General Kuropatkin's ability once more to extricate his army and avoid Russian Sedan. Besides his skill in rear-guard action they base their hopes on the physi- cal condition of the Japanese soldiers who though conceded to be the greatest marchers in the world, are well night ex- hausted by their strenuous endeavors of the last fortnight.

CONTEMPLATED RETIREMENT
 EVEN BEFORE THE BATTLE.

From information in possession of the Associated Press it Is known that Gen. eral Kuropatlxin contemplated retire ent before the beginning of the battle and that he had hoped to accomplish 1t with out serious combat. The Japanese, how ever, forced him to accept battle. The double turning movement compelled him to send the major part of his reserves to the fighting line, and rendered an eff fective counter stroke out of the ques- tion. and the decision to retire was im- mediately taken on March 6, as was stated by the Associated Press on that day. Withdrawal was actually begun during the night.
 The great question now, and the one over which the general staff burned 'ts lights late into the eight, is whether Field Marshal Oyama has entangiei the Russians in his strategic net sufficiently to prevent a successful retreat to Tie Pass. General Rennenkampff's force to the eastward admittedly is In great dan ger of being cut off, and a considerable force of Japanese appears to be operat- ing on the Russian right, well toward Tie Pass. If the Japanese succeed in reaching the railroad and interrupting traffic if only for a few hours, 1t may have the greatest consequences for Gen eral Kuropatlxin, who is now engaged in A literal race with the Japanese to reach a naturally defensible position forty miles porthward Thus far he has stood off all attacks directly against the flank of his army, and holds the way of retreat open.
 He undoubtedly was forced to abandon A number of siege guns on his Shakhe position. but if he succeeds in turning over the army intact with the principal portion of its artillery train to his suc- cessor the Russian case will be by no means desperate. for Oyama will again have missed his quarry, and compara- lively barren victory will have been pur- chased At enormous cost of life.

 The Senate interstate commerce com- mittee will meet next Friday when pro- gramme will be decided upon for the com mittee and work during the recess It is the purpose of Senator Elkins to hold extensive hearings, at which all interested in the problem of railway rate will havs an opportunity to be heard. and when such hearings are concluded to prepare a bill which he hopes will meet with the approval of Congress.
 For the present these hearings will be held in Washington. and only in the un- expected event that they should extend into the heated season will any be held elsewhere.
 An immense amount of testimony will be presented to the committee, all of which will be turned over to the Sen- ate at the beginning of the next session. It Is doubtful If the committee will att tempt to frame a bill before Congress meets.

RUSSIAN PUBLIC HAS
 NOT HEARD THE NEWS.

Only to the initiated is the news es the reverses positively known at this time. Emperor Nicholas and high mili- itary officers, of course, were inform by General Kuropatlxin's telegram of Tuesday. stating that Mukden must be abandoned. and they received details of the beginning of the withdrawal as they appeared in excised portions C. the offi- ciaI dispatches. given out yesterday. Last evening newspaper contained vague report of the doubtful origin, credited to Chinese sources. but the first positive statement was derived from the Asso- ciated Press dispatch from General Ku- rolsi's headquarters. the contents of which were quickly telegraphed to many liberals from friends abroad. The report probably will not be printed in this morning papers. the government, true to it's policy of breaking bad news gently, only pre- pairing the way by authorizing the pub lication of premonitory telegrams The news however, is only what was ex- pected ultimate retirement having been discounted from the moment Oyama ln- augurated his brilliant move westward.
