RUSSIAN LEFT IS
UNDERGOING ATTACK
Japanese Are Gradually Win.
ming, but Are Paying
Big Price

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. q, 1875
a. m.-An action of no mean propor-
tions is in progress on the Russian left
flank. The advantage thus far is on the
side OF the Japanese, though at heavy
cost. From advices from the front 1t is
difficult TO say how severe the losses
have been or how decisive the reverse,
and whether the Japanese are likely to
attempt to drive In the Russian left
much further, Gen. Kuropatkin evil
IDENTIFY has been trying to establish his
left flank far in advance, to command
the crossings OF the Taitse river, the
operations being a counterpart of Gen.
Gripenburg's movement on the right
flank to secure the fords OF the Hun
river preparatory to the breaking up of
the ice in the spring. The scene of the
operations is fifty miles southeast OF
Mukden. beyond Da pass, an important
defile commanding the road to Fushun.
Both armies occupying apparently i'm
pregnable positions on the centers, Gen.
Kuropatkin evidently planned to In
augurate widely sweeping operations
on both fianks, but the Japanese coun-
tered hard.
Associated Press dispatches from the
front indicate that the weather is fine
and favorable for operations and that
all Is quiet on the Russian right wing.
According to a Vladivostok dispatch
to the Associated Press, the entrance
to that harbor is open. and the squad
ron. which is seaworthy, is apparently
taking no risks, but Is savink its
strength for cooperation with Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron.
Gen. Kuropatkin instances many
cases Of close fighting and bayonet
charges, and concludes:
This morning a battalion of the
enemy advanced in the direction of
Papin pass, six miles southwest OF San
Lunyu. and this evening the enemys
outposts commenced to approach the
passes occupied by u.s.

Immense Stuyvesant Docks Owned
by the Illinois Central Wiped Out,
Together With Vast Quantity of
Grain, Cotton and Other Valuable
Freight---ImproperIy Oiled Journal
Said to Have Been the Cause

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 26.-Fire
involving millions of dollars loss in
physical property and that strikes a
serious blow at the immense export
trade Of New Orleans swept the river
front tonight and wiped out the vast
freight terminals of the Illinois Gen.
trail, known as the Stuyvesant docks
Nearly dozen squares of modern
wharves and freight sheds, two mag
nificent grain elevators, hundreds of
loaded cars and vast quantities Of
freight, including 10000 bales of cot
ton, were destroyed, together with a
large number Of small residences.
The fire was still raging furiously at
midnight, at which time 1t had almost
reached the upper end Of the Illinois
Central property. 1t has not been de-
termined whether there has been any
loss of life. The oeean-going shipping
seems to have escaped serious damage.
"A number Of flremen and employees Of
the docks were injured. Actual esti-
mates of the losses are impossible to-
night though they may exceed s5,00o,-
600.
The Stuyvesant docks extend from
Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon
avenue, distance of twelve squares
The wharves between these two points
were covered with miles of trackage,
and steel and iron sheds ran the whole
distance.
Valuable Property Destroyed
The two grain elevators were Of the
most modern construction, the upper
one having a capacity Of 100000 bush

can be done at a cost of so cents a
cubic yard. The former report of the
commission estimated this cost at so
cents cubic yard This amounted to
a reduction Of s15.00o.oo0 and is given
as justification OF the recommends
tion Of the sea level canal.
Immediate work is recommended at
Colon in constructing a safe harbor
To this end breakwater-is suggested
as well as the construction Of an inner
harbor at the entrance to the canal. 1t
Is recommended that bids be invited
for this work.
Other minor features of canal con-
struction include completing the Qua
tancillo diversifying channel begun by
the old company to divert the chan
nels Of the Guatancillo and Miandi
rivers and other smaller streams. In
connection with this three small dams
must be built. two across the Chagres
near the Miandi, and one across the
Boca Mindi. All Of this work is in
dependent of the decision as to the level

DANCE HALL TURNED
TO SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Pitched Battle Fought for
Hour With Coke
Forks

GREENSBURG, Pa, Feb. 26.-Anna
Onnafrey was the central figure In a
bloody battle at the Strickler works Of
the Veteran Coal company in Mount
Pleasant township last night, in which
two men were killed and six others
were stabbed, shot or slashed with
knives.
Anna Onnafrey's refusal to dance
with George Lukesz, an unbidden guest
at wedding celebration, started a riot
which converted the company house,
where the dance was being held, into
a slaughter house. Large quantities Of
beer and whisky had been provided for
the entertainment of the guests by the
groom.
Lukesz, who had been refused a
dance three times by the Onnafrey
girl, made himself obnoxious when the
fourth dance started by jostling sew
eral OF the couples. The host attempted
to eject Lukesz and was knocked down.
Lukesz then left and went to his own
boarding house, where he gathered a
party Of his friends and with them
forced his way back into the dancing
room. A fierce hand to hand fight fol-
lowed, and in short time nearly all
the belligerents swarmed out into the
street. There was rush for coke forks,
which hung on the walls of all the
houses in the street.
The heavy forks with their many
prongs were used with frightful effect,
and the ground was spattered with
blood. Many of the men had revolvers
and more than fifty shots were ex-
changed. Terrified women and chill
dren fed to the fields, while men who
had not attended the dance joined the
fight. The battle lasted nearly an hour,
but when the police, who had been
summoned from Greensburg, arrived 1t
was over.
There was scarcely one of the par
ticipants- who had not been at least
slightly wounded, and many were too
severely injured to escape If they had
tried. Twenty-seven arrests were made.
Seven of the prisoners are charged
with murder and twenty are held as
witnesses.

els. Thousands of bales of cotton, sew
eral thousand packages of sugar, great
quantities Of cottonseed oil and oil
cake, lumber and every conceivable
variety of freight filled the warehouses
pnd aleds. Practically all the export
business handled by the Illinois Central
was put aboard ships at these docks.
The docks and improvements have
been under construction for ten years
past, elaborate extensions and immense
investments having been made after the
constitutional convention Of 1898 made
1t possible for the road to invest per-
manently at this point.
The fire was discovered shortly after
z o'clock. 1t was said to have resulted
from a journal that had not been suff1-
ciently oiled. The whole plant was
equipped with gigantic water tanks
and fire extinguishing apparatus, but
the blaze, small at the beginning. al
most instantaneously got beyond con-
troll, communicating through the con-
veyors to the lower elevator and some
Of the sheds. The response OF the fire
department was prompt, but owing to
the fact that the terminals were not
readily accessible because of fences
and tracks the engines found difficulty
in reaching the flames.
Fire Spread Rapidly
In half an hour the fire covered two
squares, the lower elevator was prac-
dcally consumed and the fire was
sweeping with irresistible fury both up
and down the river. AS soon as It be-

Another day has passed, but still Ed

All day yesterday Gottschalk, against

But while Gottschalk, morose and

SENATE WILL WORK
BOTH NIGHT AND DAY
Seven Appropriations Bills Re.
main to be Con.
sidered

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26-As
the beginning of the last week of the
present session only one of the regular
appropriation bills has been finally act
ed on by congress and approved by
the president. This is the legislative,
executive and judicial bill. Six other
supply bills have passed both houses
and are in conference. With only five
days of the session left, the senate still
has seven of the most important ap-
propriation bills to consider in whole
or in part.
OF the seven the naval and the In
dian bills have been partly read, and
some features of the naval bill have
been discussed. Senators generally ap-
preciate the fact that the task of com-
pleting consideration of ali these meas
ures before the close of the session at
II o'clock next Saturday is gigantic,
but none of them doubts that it will be
accomplished.
In order to do all that is requisite it
will be necessary to greatly prolong
the days sittings and it is the present
expectation that the hour for conyen-
ing each day will be fixed at 10 o'clock,
and that the daily sessions will be ex-
tended considerably beyond the usual
hour Of adjourning. All night sessions
are probable the last few days of the
week.
Vote on Swayne Trial
The weeks work will begin with vot-
Ing on the Swayne impeachment trial.
The senate will convene for the pur-
pose Of taking up that matter at $50
a. m. Monday, and 1t is expected the
voting will consume about three hours
Of time. No debate will be allowed. A
separate vote will be taken on each OF
the impeachment articles. and on every
vote each senator. will be expected to
