JAPANESE SUCCESSES
IN TERRIBLE MUkDeN BATTLE
angered-Withdraw Of forces
From Mukden Already Begun.

St. Petersburg. March 3. RS a. III
That the battle o. Mukdcn viii 20
down in history with Lao Yang III the
long list of Russian defeats is the al
most universal belief in pessimis'tc
ST. Petersburg, which has forgotten the
meaning of the word victory.
The war Office does not admit that
the issues of the great battle, which al
ready exceeds in magnitude of opera
tions and losses that of Shakhe, has
been decided, although 1t is positively
stated in high quarters that kurupnt-
kin has teleeraphed to Emperor Mich
alos that it viii be impossible to hold
MNkden and that the withdraw! Of
the army northward has already been
begun.
While some Russian correspondents
perhaps attach undue importance Ia
several minor Russian successes On
the southern front, which evidently
were simply counter attacks and Ia
no sense real offensive movements, ii
kuropatkin has a plan for striking Is
real blow upon which. in the ppiulou
of the experts. his salvation depends,
there is no indication as yet OF such "a
purpose.
The commandcr-in-chi has hecu
continng his strategy, as at Lao Yang.
TO meeting the attacks OF the japanese
and accepting battle at places chosen
by Field Marshal Oyama
Both sides are terribly exhausted by
ten days of continuous fighting and an
the correspondents at the front in'l-
mate that the issue must be definitely
decided to-day.
At the military clubs here General
kuropatkin is already regarde. a.
beaten, the only question being his
ability to execute retreat Those
who believe there is still a chance of
actual Russian victory are few and far
between, the majority regarding the
fighting yesterday AS in reality rear
guard action, entertaining no doubt
that there will be a heavy Withdrawal.
during the night. These officers, how
ever, are dependent upon practically
the same information as the public.
General kuropatkin's critics among
military men are increasing in mum
Der, the burden of complaint being that
in every action he has shown a lack of
initiative. With defea, now, whethe,
disastrous or otherwise, they declare
| his star will set. On the other hand.
it is believed that Field Marsha;
Oyama's daring strategy, if successful
in this battle. will entitle him to rank
as one of the greatest captains OF the
age.
Politically, the result may determine
the question of continuing prosecu-
riOn of the, war. An overwhelming
disaster, it is believed, will surely
bring Russia to terms, but anything
less might not break the stubborn yes
olution of the Russian government,
In its bearing on the interior sitna-
ton the result of the battle is regarded
as equally important.

New Chwang, March 6.-There is ev-

success and that that stronghold of the
Russians will prove another Sedan.
In the past few days little has been
heard from the fighting along the

GALBRAITH EXECUTED
FIRST HANGING UNDER NEW LAW
Murderer of Wife and Child Suffers
Extreme Penalty Of the Law-Oniy
Few Witnesses Present.

Denver, March IA Canon City
dispatch last night says:
Azel d. Galbraith was executed at
8 o clock tonight for the murder of his
wife and son at Russell Gulch last
year. He walked to the trap with a
firm step and showed no fear OF the
fate he met. His neck was broken
and death was practically instanta-
neous. Every provision of the law
governing executions was observed
and there were only the witnesses al
lowed by law
Not since Friday night June &c.
1886, when Warden Cleghorn exc
cuted DeOnoCio Romero, Albert Noble
and William Holt, for the murder of
Night Watchman John Solomon of
Trinidad, had legal hanging taken
place in Colorado until tonight.
Galbraith exhibited remarkable
courage during the terrible ordeal he
was called upon to face. His walk
TO the place of execution was firm and
elastic and he manifested but little
concern, apparently having made up
his mind to meet his fate hravely. He
was given an opportunity to speak
and he said that he committed the
crime for which he was about to pay
the penalty and that strong drink
caused his downfall. He warned 9th
ers of its fearful consequences.
When he finished his hands were
tied behind him, the black cap was
adjusted. the rope placed about his
neck. and he stepped upon the trap,
which in few seconds launched him
into eternity. The weight dropped
about eight feet and the neck OF the
prisoner was broken, resulting prac-
tically in instant death. After a few
minutes DR.. T. }. Palmer the peniten
tiary physician. examined the body
and announced that lie was extinct.
~ was cut down and tanGn away to be
prepared for burial

IN HONOR OF WOLC0TT
MANY EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW
His Remarkable Ability and
Achievements.

Washington. March 3.-News OF the
forth general expressions of sorrow
from many public men at the capital.
A large number of senators with whom
he was associated during his service
in the Senate took occasion to speak
Of his ability and Of his wonderful
power of leadership when he chose to
exert it.
Few had known that he was in a
serious condition and the news Of his
death in the prime of life caused a uni
Asal shock. Among the older sena-
~ two of Wolcott's greatest speeches
were recalled, one nominating Blaine
for president at Minneapolis in 1892.
the other at the National Republican
convention in 1900 when he assumed
the duties of chairman of the conven-
tion.
The opinion was generally expressed
that had death not interrupted VOL
colts career he would again have rep
resented Colorado in the Senate.
Senator Teller, in speaking of the
death Of his former collegue, said:
II have heard with the deepest re-
.gret the news of the death of Senator
Wolcott. While it was wholly unex-
pected to me, l knew he was not in
good health, but did not think the
trouble was serious, and in my last
conversation with him he himself
Thought he would recover his usual
good health.
THE personal relations Of Senator
Wolcott and myself We're always pleas
:ant. The fact that ! left the Republi-
can party and he remained did not
sever our friendship, and | feel his
death in a personal sense and regret
1t more than | can express in mere
words. He was a man of great abil-
ity, natural born leader and one of
Colorado's strongest men. l have no
doubt that had he lived and Repub-
lican been sent to the Senate two years
from now, he would have been the
man.
Colorado suffers in his death for he
was one Of its greatest characters"
Senator Patterson said:
The death of ex-senator Wolcott
&hushes all adverse criticism and calls
out acknowledgements of his great tai
ent and charming manners, which fall
spontaneously from the lips of all who
NV him. He had the strength OF a
ssborn leader. His wonderful power
with men is shown in vivid light from
the fact that although he has been SO
little in Colorado for the past six or
eight years he held to the last thou
sands OF devoted friends who followed
his fortunes in sunshine and storm and
Through evil and good repute. The
death Of Senator Wolcott removes q
powerful element for good in Colorado,
for he had been SO thoroughly indie
pendent that he kept in close touch
with people and always had their re-
spect and confidence"
Congressman Bonynge said: "He
was one OF the strongest characters
and ablest men Colorado has produced
as United States senator. He gained
4 reputation for craftsmanship and
ability that reflected great credit upon
our state"

in question provides for an appropria-
ton Uut Of which students attending
the state educational institutions shall
be reimbursed for their railroad fare
in cases where their homes are located
more than 100 miles from the school.
The object is two-fold: To give the
young men and women on the western
slope letter opportunities for an edu-
cation in Colorado, and tC build up the
state educational institutions At a
meeting of the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday afternoon the bill was
given the right of way in discussion.
No vote was taken, but the commit
tee reached a tacit conclusion to kill
the bill IN question. but to accomplish
Senator Taylors purpose in another
way. This was to include in the ap-
preparation for each institution an
amour sufficient for reimbursing the
railroad fare of all students who would
come under the provisions of Senator
Taylor bill. The proposition met with
much lavor at the hands of the com
mittcc, and there is little doubt that
it will be received favorably by the
Sepaic. There is strong feeling in
