AFTER LONG DELAY.

cial treaty had been arranged with
that government through the personal
interest taken in the case by President
Roosevelt. Kratz was then arraigned

PRESIDENT GIVES UP IDEA OF
SECURING RAILROAD RATE
LEGISLATION.
HOPES FOR SOME ACTION NEXT FALL
EXTRA ASSEMBLY OF CONGRESS
WILL BE CALLED in THE
EARLY AUTUMN.

Washington, Feb. 21.- President
Roosevelt, who for weeks has been
hopeful that some definite action might
be taken at the present session of con-
gress on the railroad rate question,
practically has relinquished the idea
OF securing legislation on the subject
this winter. 1t is reasonably certain
that he will not call an extraordinary
session of congress to meet in the
spring, but unless he changes his mind
he will call congress together probably
next October. Representative Esch
and Townsend, joint authors of the
rate bill which passed the house, had
talk with the president during the
day. They outlined the rate situation
in congress as they have found it..
They agreed with him that the pros
pect for the enactment of rate legisla-
ton at this session was remote, They
indicated that, if no action was taken
at this session, the subject would be
considered thoroughly during the COM
ing summer with the idea of present
ing measure at the next session
which very likely would contain some
additional features.
AS they left the White House both
Messrs. Esch and Townsend expressed
the conviction that an extraordinary
session would be called for next au-
tumn to deal with the rate question.

RUSSIANS CONTINUE ACTIVE.
Preparations Indicate Plan to Turn
kuroki's Right Flank.

u ( =
Toxic, Feb. 21.--It is reported that
the Russians have constructed two
light railways, one connecting Fushun
and Venting and another extending
from Fushun to the Upper Shakhe.
This railway building, in connection
with other activities and the heavy
concentration of troops, indicates a
plan to turn General Kuroki's right.
General Kuropatkin is continuing his
operations of increasing his entire de-
fenses and gives indication OF reso-
lutte intention of retaining his position
when the expected great battle occurs.
The Toxic newspapers print the
statement that 126 Japanese who
were captured at Heikoutai were
roped together and paraded through
the streets of Mukden This informa-
tion comes from Chinese sources and
it is impossible to obtain verification
here. 1t is said that there will be an
official inquiry into the, matter and
that the Japanese government will
make a protest if the report is found
to be true.
The headquarters of the Japanese
armies in the field reports that the
Russians have moved division from
the front of the Japanese center to the
front OF the left and advanced from
Ia mountain. Several columns moved
fifteen miles westward, hating at
Hangchiataitzu, which is two miles
northwest OF Wanchiayuantzu.
The Russians continue lo shell por-
tions Of the Japanese lines and the
Japanese frequently fail to respond to
the bombardment, which often was
entirely Ineffective and is described as
being largely waste Of ammunition.
