PANESE ENTER MUKDEN
Russian Army Retreatine Northward in
Haste, Followed by the Vic
torious Japanese.

sidered here AS definitely showing that
the japanese have won victory and
that Gen. kuropatkins reverse may
soon reach the magnitude of a disas-
ter. The French military critics say
the Japanese capture of Theta practic.
ally cuts off kuropatkin from retreat
ing northward. They also attach
much Importance to the capture of
Mukden, the capital of Manchuria.
St. Petersburg, March 1.-THE
extent of the disaster to kuropatkin S
army is as yet I'M. nown here, but the
most sinister reports receive credence
and the public believes that Field
Marshal Oyama has succeeded in clos
ing the iron ring around at least a
large portion of the army.
About the only news made public
is dispatch from kuropatkin stating
that his forces had begun a retreat.
All accounts agree that the battle
Thursday morning must have been
fought under terrible conditions. A
dust storm of hurricane violence was
blowing, concealing friend and foe,
while through the opaque yellow veil
the streams OF wounded and camp fol-
lowers plodded northward.
All hope Of Kuropatkin waiting for
an opportune moment to strike and
convert defeat into victory has been
abandoned even by the military crit
les, and the papers in dolorous strain
oh rOpio1a tho lact onI xrcrct ravorco 70
the Russian arms.
The only consolation they find is
that the Russian troops have been con.
quered by wonderful foe, declaring
there is something uncanny about the
desperate expedient which the Japan
ese successfully employed at Diushan-
tun, when, during the storm the jap
anese lines actually faced about, ap-
parently firing into their own reserves,
deceiving the Russians and backing
into the Russian wire entanglements
before the ruse was discovered. His
tory, military men say, does not paral-
lei such desperate fanatical valor.
The papers at the same time are fill
ed with recrimination. Russian diplo-
macy is blamed for not including in
the theater of operations the territory
west of Sinmintln road, which Field
Marshal Oyama used to accomplish his
bold turning movement, and criticism
is heaped upon Kuropatkin.
The Russ. however, while admitting
knropatkin's failure as a strategist,
insists that the responsibility should
not be shouldered by him alone.
The real cause of Russian defeat,
the paper boldly declares, is "the
bureaucracy which is incapable of eff
cient administration and the vicious
system which kills all initiative in the
men out of whom soldiers are made
and keeps them in ignorance while the
system of our adversary creates intel
ligent soldiers. ,"

Mukden has fallen and the head
quarters of the Russian Manchurian
armies are now in the hands of the
Japanese, and Oyama's first great OBJ
jective has been accomplished after a
prolonged and desperate battle.
single terse sentence from Tokyo,
saying that the Japanese entered the
ancient capital at ten O'Clock Friday
morning, and confirmatory dispatch
from Yinkow is about all that is defin-
itely known.
Kuropatkin is in full retreat, but
the fate of his army is still in doubt.
With Tie Pass his objective point of
refuge, he is endeavoring to extricate
his forces, but, from the meager in
formation in the dispatches it is ap-
parent that his position is extremely
critical. Apparently the Russians are
racing north with japanese column
on either flank and fighting rear
guard action with the japanese center
army.
st. Petersburg is prepared for news
of a great disaster, but all sources of
Japanese information are sign icantly
silent as to what is transpiring in
Oyamas great battlefield
Yinkow, March 10.-Mukden fell at
10 o clock this Friday morning. The
Russians are panic stricken. Thou
sands of prisoners and enormous guam
titles of stores and arms have been
captured. This completes the Japan

"Our surrounding movement, in

The treaty provides a process by
which impartial experts will deter

are in whole or in part invalid, and
will apportion accordingly the surplus

The treaty offers the only method for
preventing the collection of fraudulent

Fourt-This treaty affords the most
practicable means of obtaining pay

Fifth-If the treaty is ratified, cred

have exactly as good treatment as
creditors who are citizens of the Unit

Domingo will be protected against un-
just and exorbitant claims. If it is
not ratified, the chances are that
American citizens will fare i'll as com

collected, and as Santo Domingo will
be left without aid, assistance or pro.
lection, it is impossible to state that
the sums collected from it will not be
improper in amount. In such event
whatever is collected by means of fore
ible intervention will be applied to the
creditors of foreign nations in prefer
ence to creditors who are citizens of
the United States.
Sixth-The correspondence between
the secretary of state and the minister
of Hayti, submitted to the senate sew
eral days ago, shows that our position
is explicitly and unreservedly that I'M

acquire territory in or possession of

TO SENATE
ACTION URGED ON SANTO DO.
MINGO TREATY.
Entered Info at the
Earnest Request of Island Re-
publiC-prOteCtiOn From Unjust
Claims and Greater Stability of
Government.

Washington, March 9.-The senate
in executive session yesterday made
public the second message of President
Roose selt on the Santo Domingo treaty.
The message follows:
The senate:-l wish to call the at
tention of the senate at this executive
session to the treaty with Santo Do
mingo. | feel that ought to state to
the senate that the condition of affairs
in Santo Domingo is such that it is
very much for the interest of that re-
public that action on the treaty should
be had at as early moment as the
senate, after giving the matter full
consideration, may find practicable. |
call attention to the following facts:
First-This treaty was entered into
at the earnest request of Santo Domingo
herself, and is designed to afford Santo
Domingo relief and assistance. Its
primary benefit will be to Santo Do
mingo. 1t offers the method most like
ly to secure peace and prevent war in
the island.
Second-The benefit to the United
States Will consist chiefly IN the ten
dency under the treaty to secure sta
bility, order and prosperity in Santo
Domingo and the removal of the ap-
prehension lest foreign powers make
on Santo Domingo in the
course of collecting claims due to their
citizens, for it IS greatly to our interest
that all the islands of the Caribbean
sea should enjoy peace and prosperity
and feel good will toward this country.
The benefit to honest creditor, will
come from the fact that for the first
time under this treaty practicable
method of attempting to settle the
debts due them will be inaugurated.
Third-Many of the debts alleged to
be due from Santo Domingo to outside
creditors unquestionablyo on their face
represent far more money than was
ever actually given Santo Domingo.

4 TARIFF NAMPAMN

Republicans may profess amusement al
Col. Watterson's prediction of another tariff
campaign, but review of the last % years
shows that conditions are peculiarly favor.
able, not only for tariff reform agitation,
but for its success.
The treatment by the Republican party
of the recommendations of it's own tariff
commission in 1882 shows how unlikely
that party is to respond to any demand for
a reduction OF duties. l: anyone should
suggest that the party has learned some
thing since then it is sufficient TO point 70
the attitude of the stand. patters" and their
dominant position In the party. The men
controlling the Republican organization are
100 closely associated with the leading bene
dciaries Of high protection to encourage any
nope that they will consent to revision OF
the tariff until they see chance to revise il
upward. Tariff reform can only come from
the tariff reformers.
Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform message Of
1887 was followed by the election OF Mr..
Harrison, but the popular response 10 the
Mckinley tariff gave the Democrats larger
majority in the House of Repre- sentatives
than either party has had any other Con.
gress since the reconstruction period. Two
years experience of the Mckinley tariff con
firmed the country in It's dislike Of it, and
