ning OF the last week of the present
session only one OF the regular apDrO-
prlation bills has been finally acted on
by congress aQd approved by the pres
ident. This is the Legislative. execu-
tive and judicial bill. Six other sup
ply bills nave passed both houses and
are in conference. With only five days
OF the session left, the senate still has
seven of the most important apDropri-
ntlon bills TO consider in whole or in
part. OF the seven, the naval and the
lnGian bills have been partly read and
some features of the naval bill have
been discussed. Senators generally ap-
preCiate that the task of completing
consideration of all these measures be-
fore the close of the session at II
O'Clock next Saturday is gigantic, but
none OF them doubts that it will be &C
cOmplished. In order to do all that is
requisite it will be necessary greatly

Admits the Advantages in Present
Action Are With Jupanese.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-An action
of the Russian left flank. The advan-
tage thus far is on the side Of the Jap
anese, though at heavy cost. From ad-
vice from the front it is difficult to say
0 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 evidently has been
trying to establish his left flank far in
advance to command the crossings of
the Tait&e river, the operation being a
counterpart of Gen. GripDenberg's
movement on the right flank to secure
to the breaking up Of the ice in the
spring. The scene of the operations
is so miles southeast Of Mukden, be-
yOnd Ia pass, an important defile COM
handing the road to Fushun. Both
armies occupying apparently impreg-
nable positions on the centers. Gen.
kuropatin evidently planned to in
~aueurate widely sweeping operations
on both TANKS. but the japanese
tered hard.
Press dispatches from the front indi-
cate that the weather is fine and favor
able for operations, and that all is
quiet On the Russian right wing.
According to a VladivOstOk dispatch,
the entrance to that harbor is open,
and the squadron, which is seaworthy,
is apparently taking no risks. but is
saving its strengt for cooperation
with Nice-Admiral R~ojestvensky's
squadron.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 27.-The
latest estimate of the fire loss. which
is regarded as very conservative, is
$1,50G, 600. a small portion of which is
covered by insurance. Forty blocks

10 the relief fund.
It is thought by many that the fire

suspicious characters are thrown into
the c~alaboOse. All saloons and club
rooms were closed from Saturday night
