DODGING THE
OIL TRUST
COUNSEL EMPLOYED TO FIGHT
NEW BOYCOTT ORDER OF THE
STANDARD OCTOPUS.

New York, March 1O.-A special
from Topeka, Kansas, says:
The Kansas Oil Producers Assocla-
ton has employed Senators Dumont
Smith and w. F. Fitzpatrick, who
drew the oil laws enacted by the legis-
lature this winter, TO fight the new
boycott order of the Standard on
Company, issued yesterday.
Governor Hoch to-day received tele-
grams from forty-two oil producers,
asking him to do all in his power 10
aid in the fight.
Il am not surprised at the action OF
the Standard Company" Governor
Hoch said 1T is doing by indirec-
ton the thing it threatened to do
when the oil legislation was pending
it is blacklisting the Kansas fiel:;s

As soon as the state refinery IS

ness. the Common Carrier Law will
be invoked in aid of the producer.
This law makes all oil pipe lines

A singular Creature.

One of the most singular looking crea-
lures that ever walked the earth or

the world famous man faced crab Of
Japan. It's body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with a
face which is the exact counterpart OF
a Chinese cooly-a veritable missing
link, with eyes, nose and mouth all
clearly defined. This curious and I'M
canny creature, besides the great like
ness it bears to human being in the
face, is provided with two legs, which
seem to grow from the top of its head
and hang down over the side Of its
face.

Russians in a Trap.

New York, March 10-A Herald
cable from London says:
Marshal Oyama has achieved the
browning victory of the war, and at
the moment of writing it looks as if
the end had come for Kuropatkin ard
the Russian army in Manchuria, for it
is officially reported from Toxic that
100000 Russian troops are surround
ed.
IF that is the case the campaign
is as good as finished, and certainy
is for 1905, for another quarter of a
million men cannot be sent across
the Siberian Railway and put in the
field at any time this side of next
october.
IF the rout of the Russians is so
bad as to carry them into and be-
yond Tieling without putting up an
other fierce fight, then there is no
resting place for them short of Har-
bin, and that would involve the isola-
ton and fall of Vladivostock
Should it turn out to be the case
that General Nogi has disregarded the
insignificant Russian detachments
standing between him and his OBJ
jective, and is making bold ad-
vance upon Telling, then. in truth, it
is all up with the Russian army in
Manchuria.
81 know that he has with him an
able and fine soldier in General Iditti,
one of the brightest and most dash
ing of the younger Japanese leaders,
and the investment or even the cap
ture of Telling is a sort of master
stroke that either ne or General Nogi
or both would fervantly attempt.
Still, let it not be forgotten that
General Kuropatkin is a hard fighter
and brilliant general, whom l hold
to have made the very best possible
use of the means at mis- disposal"

What England Thinks.

London, March 10.-In the opinion
of the English military critics, Gen
eral Kurcpatkin's forces are doomed
TO complete disaster. Careful study
of all the avenues of possible escape
and the dispositions of the victorious
Japanese armies leads to the conclu
sion that the best he can hope is to
save a mere remnant of his army,
after deVoting whole divisions to
slaughter. Much importance is at
tached to General Kamamura's mys-
FERROUS INDICATED army, which is mo-
mentarily expected to complete the
closing Of the net around the defeated
host by appearing somewhere in the
extreme east, in the neighborhood of
Yingfan, thus blocking the sole re-
naming route from Yingfan to Tie
Pass through Wankiakou Pass.
Inc correspondent at Toxic OF the
Daily Telegraph says on official au-
thority that fully 100000 Russians are
enveloped ana that he hears that Rus
sia's central army is almost ami
hilated.

ST. PETERSBURG is IN
TERRIBLE SUSPENSE.

st. Petersburg, March 10.-(2:10 p.
m.)-the extent Of the disaster to
General Kuropatkin's army is as yet
unknown here, but the most sinister
reports receive credence, and the pub
lie believe that Field Marshal Oyama
has succeeded in closing the iron ring
around at least large portion of the
army. Communication with Mukden
is apparently cut, as no word has ar
rived later than yesterday at p. m,
when the situation of General Bilder-
ling, who commands the rear guard,
and the thousands who were fighting
OFF the japanese assaults almost at
the walls Of the city west and north
of Mukden was desperate. Even from
the east General Kurokl pushed
through until Flu Pass, less than eight
miles east, where the Hun bends
sharply to the northward, was under
the japanese guns. The opening in
the net was then only twelve miles
wide, and nothing but a miracle, in
the opinion of many experts, could
then have saved the situation.
Japanese Blind Russians.
In addition General Nogi's left west
Of the railroad, and General Kamamu-
ra's army on the east were reported
by forced marches northward to be
ready to THROW themselves across the
Russian line OF retreat. All accounts
agree that the battle yesterday must
have been fought under dreadful con-
ditions. A dust storm of hurricane
violence was blowing, conceaIing
friend and foe, white through the
opaque yellow veil the streams of
wounded and camp followers plodded

The war Office this morning had
little consolation to offer to the pitt
ful enquiries for news. All classes
seem to have Joined in the common
grief.
All hope of Kuropatkin waiting for
an opportuns moment to strike and
convert defeat into victory has been
abandoned. Even the military critics
and the papers chronicle the last and
worst reverse to the Russian arms.
The only consolation they find is that

quered by a wonderful foe, declaring

Peculiar Sand in Hawaii Makes Noise
Like Deep-Mouthed Hound.
If the reports from Waimea, Kauai,
are correct watchdogs in the Hawaiian
islands will undoubtedly become an
extinct breed of canine.
At Waimea there is a peculiar sort
of sand, known as barking sand. /"
Whenever any noise passes or the
sand is stirred by the wind 1t gives
off sound resembling the bark of a
deep-mouthed dog.
Recently the natives gave luau, a
native feast, and for particular deli
cacy they stole the watchdog of one
of the white residents. The dog was
killed and eaten.
The owner Of the dog then realized
that the dog was gone and the chick
en- houses would be unprotected. In
his dilemma the man thought of the
barking sands, and going there had a
cartload hauled to his place and dis
tributs~ about the henhouses.
The result was that the high wind
stirred the sand all night long and
the owner had the satisfaction Of
hearing the baying Of a phantom
crowd Of watchdogs about his place.

success that most Of the white resi-
dents in that part of Kauai have dis

Lieut. Clarke of Louisiana BrAved Almost Death to
Save Wounded Sergeant.

charge was impossible. He ordered
his men to fall back to shelter. but he
stayed on the field. He jumped from
his horse to the ground and attemped
to lift the wounded trooper, who was
a heavy man to his saddle. His
strength was equal to the task, but
the man was so injured he could not
retain his seat and in his condition
Clarke found that it would be i'm
possible to hold him on the back OF
his mount.
He struck his horse on the flank
with the palm of his hand and sent
him trotting back to the troopers who,
under orders, had retreated. Then
the lieutenant put himself between the
Indians and the wounded sergeant,
prepared for an effort and raised the
black man to his shoulder. The
| Apaches broke loose with another vol
ley. Clarke's blouse was pierced
twice and the sand was Kicked up
spitefully about his knees, but he was
unhurt. He staggered back over the
yielding sand while the bullets spat
about him. His men from their shell
ter fired every time they saw an
Apache head and to some extent they
succeeded in checking the fury of the
fire.
Back through the death-beset way
Clarke carried the black sergeant,
shielding him as much as it was in
his power with his own body while he
toiled along. Finally he reached shell
ter and with his men he made a
detour, attacked the Apaches in flank
and sent them scattering.
The black sergeant is still living,
but the white lieutenant is dead.
