A Race for TELLING.

Washington, March 13--The foa-
lowing advices have been received at
the japanese legation:
"A report received on the evening
of March 13, shows that our forces
continuing the pursuit northwards
from all directions meanwhile inh1ct-
ing heavy loss on the routed enemy
and had expelled him northward en-
tireIy on the 18th of March from the
district 26 miles north of Mukden and
was still pursuing. In the district ex-
tending g miles north of the railroad
north of Mukden an enormous amount
of carts laden with ammunition and
war materials was found abandoned.
A report received on the afternoon Of
March 12, SAYS that one Russian Of
fear who surrendered at Port Arthur
came to Hsinmintun from Shanghai,
breaking his parole. and was captured
by our garrison.
Another telegram says:
ssAccording to report received
March is the enemy's losses in the
direction of Singking are not yet as
certained; over 500 Russians corpses
already have been found on the field
According to the statements OF pris-
oners their seventy-first division was
almost annihiIated- Although the
Russians burnt their store house at
Machuntan and other places still large
quantities of fodder ammunition ana
war materials fell into our hands.

stop than to go on and that if the war
is definitely prolonged the financial re-
sources of Japan are sure to become
exhausted before Russias, while Rus
sia's prestige abroad is irreparably gone
if she now bends the knee
The situation is not dissimilar to that
which prevailed at the end of the
Crimean war when Nicholas I took a
the best terms obtainable The effect
on the internal situation of either al
tentative probably will govern the final
decision. The practical difficulties not
only in getting a new army to the front
but in actually mobilizing it are fully
appreciated even at the war office, where
many officers reluctantly declare it is
idle to hope victory under the present
circumstances. Another general mob
ilization might set the country in flames.
At home the elements which are try
ing to force the enperor's hand would
employ either horn of the dilemma Sc
lected, whether peace or a continuation
of the war to press for the granting of
a real constitution. They declare the
government is now. in a corner from
which there is no escape without the
support of the people. There is reason
to believe that some of the enperOr's
advisers share this opinion and are
again advocating the boIdest stroke of
summoning a veritable constituency as
sembly, appealing to the patriotism of
the people and allowing them to decide
the question of peace or war. Such a
move, they argue, would confound
Japan if the decision was war and if
peace would relieve the government of
responsibility and insure tranquility at
home. OF course it is realized that this
would inevitably mean a change in the
form of government to a constitutional
monarchy The newspapers, with the
exception of the Novoe Vremya and a
few others whose service is always for
war, speak out straight for peace at al
most at any price. declaring that all
hopes of victory are now buried at
Mukden. Some papers like the Novosti,
the Jewish organ, plainly denOunce the
whole far eastern policy as a senseless
adventure which has cost thousands of
lives and millions of money, declaring
that for 200 years the government has
been extending the empire and that it
is now time to stop and regenerate the
people. The Gazetta, a popular paper.
goes further, affirming the justice of
Japan's position and saying that oppor-
tunity on the mainland is vital to her.
whereas Russia's Manchurian adven-
ture is a colonial dream in which the
people have no part
Nobody but the government, the
paper continues, knew why the war
was begun and the government is now
beaten. Are there still idiots who be-
Iieve it should be prolonged2'

TO FIGHT OR NOT TO FIGHT.
That Is the Question That Is Aoitating
Russian Government Circles

St. Petersburg, March 13-1:27 D. M
The announcement made in the name
OF the government in the face of over
whelming disaster suffered by General
kuropatkin that a fresh army would
pc raised and the war proceed and the
naughty attitude assumed by Japan
may after all be simply a sparring for
position which is the prelude of peace.
AS Tar as the public here is concerned
peace is the only thing talked of, the
sentiment being that If diplomacy can
bring the warning powers into negotia-
t1on, peace wiz follow. Many diplomat
lists believe that terms acceptable to
both are only possible on the basis not
OF ordinary peace but more in the ma
ture of alliance which would distinctly
define and guarantee the position of
the respective powers in the far east
in the future. It is certain, however,
that Russia as yet has made no move.
Her confusion still reigns in the. higher
circles and the emperor has not yet de-
cided that he must Yield Nevertheless,
the peace party has been greatly
STRENGTHENED and is now taking the
position that to attempt to continue the
war will only court additional complica-
tfons and dangers at home with the
chances of success for the Russian

be worthy of consideration But some
of the emperor's advisers insist that the
government is irrevocably committed to
the war; that it would be harder to

The examination of w J. Healy
freight auditor of the Santa Fe, to Sc
cure evidence in the suit against that
railroad to secure the annulment of the
charter of the road because of alleged
violations of the Kansas antitrust
laws. was resumed this morning in the
office of the attorney general.
Frank Monett conducted the exami-
nation on behalf of the state. The sub
ject of coal rates from the kansas coal
fields to Kansas City was under con-
sideratiOn.
MIR. Monett attempted to secure infor-
nation regarding the division of freight
rates between the Santa Fe railroad
and the Kansas City Belt railroad. The
Santa Fe owns 500 shares of stock of
the Kansas City BELT road.
A division tariff was introduced as
evidence which showed that coal con-
signed to the Kansas City Belt road
purporting to be for the sole use of the
Kansas City Belt line would be charged
a. rate OF so cents ton from the From
tenac and Pfttsburg district. 1t was
shown the same class of coal consigned
to parties in Kansas City or Argentine
in 25 car load lots is given the rate OF
20 cents ton, and coal shipped to
small dealers takes the rate of s1.40
per ton
In this manner the packers trusts or
other favored shippers at Kansas City
are enabled to get coal at rates ruinous
to competition.
Mr.. Monett attempted to secure from
the witness information regarding the
relations existing between the Santa F'e
and the Kansas City Belt in order that
information concerning the profits de-
rived by the Santa F'e from this road
might be ascertained.
Mr. MOnett also tried to establis the
relations between the industries situa-
ted on the Kansas City Belt line as to
the division of freight charges and the
switching or other charges collected.
At the afternoon session the rates on
cattle on the hoof, the rates on dress
ed meats. and the by products shipped
in refrigerator cars. and the rates on
corn and wheat viii be inquired into.
The rates for icing charges on refrig-
orator cars will also be taken up
