HEAVY FIGHTING EXPECTED.
Toxic Anticipates Resumption Of
Fighting at Tie Pass.

Toxic, March 12.-(6 p. m)-The
japanese pursuit of the Russian army
continues and resumption of heavy
fighting near Tie pass is anticipated.
Tie pass which is naturally strong,
thought that the Russians will rally
there in an endeavor to check the
Japanese.
The rapidly advancing Japanese al
ready are in touch at Tie pass. The
Russians evidently are confused and
exhausted, and possibly are short Of
food and ammunition,and it is believed
that they will be unable to resist
strong attack.
Succeeding field reports increase the
extent IF the Russian disaster. 1t
will require months to resupply and
reorganize the Russian armies, Esti-
mates of casualties given by captives
reach 4G per cent. The artillery losses
were especially heavy. The captured
guns have not vet been counted, but
the numerous captured stores and am
munitions are valued at millions Of
dollars. This loss materially adds to
the Gripping of the Russian armies.
Tie Japanese people are receiving
details Of the victory with calmness
Toxic and other cities are exceedingly
quiet and the recent admonition to
the people to refrain from spending
money in celebrations and devote
their savings to war charities is uni
versally obeyed.
The Japanese press editorials in dis
cussing the possible effect of the vic
tory on peace, declare that Japan will
continue the vigorous prosecution Of
the war and has no suggestion to
make to Russia directly or indirectly.
In the general elation over the sue
cess of the Japanese a special source
Of satisfaction is the celerity with
which the fanking operations were
carried out, the quick seizure of ad-
vantages and the speed made in pur-
suit of the Russians. After the sum-
mer campaign there was a general
admission of the truth of the repeated
criticism that the Japanese army had
failed in those respects and am avowed
determination was made to redeem
the shortcomings. During the recent
operations against the Russians the
left portion of the fifth army marched
forty miles in one day, greatly aiding
in the achievement of the victory.

FRAUD IN AWARDS

Awards Makes a Sensational Report.

Special Committee Sent by Utah Leg.
islature to Investigate ST. Louis
Awards Makes Sensational Report.
4 Salt Lake City, March 13. = 1--WE are
unanimous in reporting that, according
to our knowledge and belief, the So
called awards, consisting of medals,
ribbons, ETC., supposedly given as
marks of merit by the st. Louis offic-
ial award ribbon committee by au-
thority of the Louisiana purchase ex-
position. also the so-called successful
exhibitors, are in our opinion an i'm
mense and gigantic fraud
The foregoing is a paragraph from
the report of q special committee sent
to, st. Louis by the legislature OF Utah
to investigate Irregularities in the ac-
counts of Utah's commission to the
Louisiana purchase exposition.
The report charges that so-called a.
wards of merit are issued "by straw
corporation" for the sole purpose of
being sold to be used in a commercial
way as advertising matter. The COM
mittee reports the substance Of con-
versation with an agent alleged to be
employed specially to sell these awards
on commission. The alleged agent, the
report says, exhibited one award "of
special merit" that he said he had sold
for $500 and stated to the committee
that a certain we'll known manufac-
turing concern had paid as high as
$4,000 for so-called official award
to be used for advertising. The COM
mittee further charges that legitimate
medals were being held back by the
exposition management to promote
this traffic in awards.
In it's investigation Of the Utah COM
mission the committee verified various
charges of Irregularities, including for
geries Of vouchers aggregating $2,-
10O.ss The legislature will be asked to
appropriate $1,000 to cover the deficit
in the funds of the state commission.
Representatives s. i. Stookey, w. N.

conditions at st. Louis.

decision. Practical difficulties not only
in getting new army to the front.
but in actually mobilizing it, are fully
appreciated, even at the war office,
where many officers reluctantly de-
clare it is idle to hope for victory under
the present circumstances. Another
general mobilization might set the
country in flames. AT home the ele-
ments which are trying to force the
emperor's hand would employ either
horn of the dilemma selected, whether
peace or continuation of the war, to
press for granting Of real constitu-
ton. They declare the government is
now in q corner from which there is
no escape without the support of the
people. There is reason to believe that
some Of the emperor's advisers share
this opinion, and are again advocating
the bold stroke. Of summoning verit-
able constituent assembly, appealing
to the patriotism of the people, and all
lowing them to decide the question OF
peace or war. Such a move, they ar
que, would confound Japan If the de-
cision was war, and if peace. would re-
lieve the government of responsibility
and insure tranquility at home. OF
course, 1t is realized this would inevit-
ably mean change in the form Of
government to a constitutional mon
archy. The newspapers, with the ex-
ception Of Novoe Vremya, and few
others, whose voice is always for war,
speak out straight for peace at almost
any price, declaring all hopes of victory
are now buried at M,lkden.
While France has made no move
since the battle of Mukden nor offered
her advice officially, the Russian gov
ernment has been given to understand
clearly her ally favors peace and this
may exercise an influence on the en-
peror's ultimate decision. Germany
has refrained from giving advice eth
er way. Perhaps the attitude Of Japan
may be Judged by the fact that one of
the great powers, intimated to be the
United States, has strongly urged
within a month that the time was OPP
perfume to offer terms to Russia, but
according to information received here
the Jap government paid no heed to
the advice rendered.

a Japanese force consisting of a divis-
ion and half are within short dis
tance of the Russian rear guard. The
second army is marching continually
under the fire of the enemy, who is ad-
vancing from the east and west" The
general says the Japanese are contin-
ually receiving reinforcements.
Kuropatlkin adds that the rear guard
advanced in perfect order, but the
movement of the transport along the
Mandarin road was very difScult owing
to the Japanese cannonade. The
country between Tie pass and Mukden
is intersected by rivers and steep banks
and the Russian wagons were obliged
to halt and await their turn, causing
much delay.
