After the fall Of Port Arthur Kouro-

was thrown on General Grippenberg.
"It is regrettAble." says KouropatlSin,
that a fortnight before the commence

Of Grippsnberg. which revealed 10 the
enemy the nature of our intended move

Protest of Mckinley Club.
Mike Lee took exceptions to the circular
distributed in the house the other day re-
garding the Mckinley club banquet and
it's object and he roundly denounced the
anonymous author OF the screed. He had
made a part of the record the following
letter from John j. Ryder, secretary Of the
banquet committee:
OMAHA Neb.. Feb. 13.-To Hon. NJ p.
Dodge, jr, and Hon. Michael Lee. Re-
ferring to the anonymous circular you have
sent me, permit me to say, not by way
of explanation or apology. but merely by
way Of denunciation of the cowardly author
or authors:
There were nine men on the committee
appointed by the Mckinley club, at q reg
ular meeting, to arrange for the anINIal
banquet. The invitation to the members
OF the legislature and the stats officers
to be the guests OF the club was merely a
development OF suggestion made by my
self, as a member OF the committee, that
we ought to have crowd from Lincoln.
Our main adviser was Mr.. Victor Rose
water, editor OF The Bee, who is a member
OF the club and always Interested In max
Ing its gatherings a success. In order to
make the list of contributors to the fund
for the entertainment of the Lincoln people
as representative as possible of the repub-
lican party in Omaha we accepted subscrip-
lions in various amounts from men like
Arthur G. Smith, Captain H. E. Palmer,
mr: H. H. Baldrige' Robert Cowell, Victor
others. Mr.. Wattles gave no more than
half dozen men on the list, and all OF
| them expressed a Willingness to increase
| their subscriptions II necessary. II can be
said, too, that no republican who was asked
gladly.
That banquet was clean and honest from
start to finish, and the members of the
legislature who were present are the best
witnesses Of the truth OF this statement.
The pusillanimops character of the mar
or men who inspired the malicious circular
which has been But out Is indicated not only
by It's lack OF percentage, but also by III
lack Of the union label, which might have
served to give II some standing, because
every union label has a number. The
circular is in every sense untrue, malicious
and as unworthy as anonymous charges
usually are. Sincerely yours,

Troops Idle During battle.


Details of forces at Kaulbars disposal
are tabulated and It is shown that down
to February Is thirty-nve battalions never
went into action, while the japanese were
successfully carrying on a turning move
ment before their very eyes. , g. e..
AT this time Kouropatkin continues,
1.-THE commander-in-chief ordered Kauibars
to send all troops possible 30 the right bank
of the river, he did exactly the contrary,
moving two regiments over to the left
bank. We could have concentrated more
than 100 battalions and thrown them
against Fogi. KauIbars not only disobeyed
the order to throw troops across the river
but, having lost five days. he went 90 far
In allowing the turning movement that on
February p party OF his force was still
operating, not against Nosi. but against
oku's left wing.
Kaulbars is blamed for not recognising
his forces. which were in a state OF great
confusion, for drawing reckIessiy on the
reserves and for many other shortcomings.
The book contains the text OF General
Kouropatkin's reports to the emperor, in
which he enlarges on the causes Of the de-
feat at Mukden.
Elsewhere, however, Kourapatkin frankly
admits to the emperor that he himself was
much to blame for the Mukden defeat, say
ing he did not insist sufficiently before the
beginning OF the battle on a strong reserve
for the decisive moment.

virons and Notifications Of that village
had not been studied and no sketches Of
the ground had been prepared for the
troops As a result the artillery fired for
a whole day against BsitaiEe instead Of
sandepu. The fourteenth division attacked
BaotadEe west o. Sandepu, and having
occupied that Village. the commander
thought he was occupying sandepu and
30 reported to me. sandepu's outer wall
was even mistaken by tho Fourteenth d.
vision for the redoubt inside OF Sandepu,
Not surprising itself strong enough to take
this redoubt the division returned to its
former positions
"stackeIberg noticing that sandepu was
not taken, in spite OF the order twice given
by Grippenberg to stop the advance, aid
not find II possible to obey, and after
very hard battle took the greater part
OF sandepu towards the evening" but at
dawn he was attacked by superior forces
and forced to retire"
Continuing his description and criticism
OF the operations, Kouropatkin complains
OF Grlppenberg for failing to report and
confer. with him at the critical juncture,
though he had teephoned to his command
adding however: Personally GrippenberE
could not talk with me on account Of his
ueaInesS. lnlS enOeu our" HTst dttetlpt
to adopt the offensive. 1t cost about 10000
men,"
Showing absence OF proper communica-
ton between the commander OF the army
and the various corps Kouropatkin de-
clared portions OF the Fifteenth division
retired without permission and without
awaiting the enemy's attack. Grippenberg
later reported that he was III and left for
st. Petersburg.
His proceeding" says Kouropatkin, set
a most deplorable example both to those
under him and TO the other armies and was
calculated to undermine discipline"
His expressed opinion that the campaign
might be considered lost and that a retreat,
first to Mukden and then to Hardin, was
necessary, produced dangerous bewilder-
ment In the minds Of the more faint
hearted.

GOSSIP AMONG THE LEGISLATORS
Some Omaha Men working Against
Terminal Taxation.

(From q Stan Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. M-(Special)-A letter
was received by a member OF the house
this morning from Omaha, from a party
who ought to know, saying some members
OF the Omaha Commercial club were OPP
posed to the taxation OF RAILROAD terminals
for city and village purposes and we're
working under cover for the defeat OF the
Clarke bill Just who these men are who
are working against the interests OF
Omaha and every other town In the state
was not disclosed. incidentally Mr.. Clarke
has received numerous letters from prom
inent attorneys who have looked into his
bill and all OF them have pronounced It
constitutional and well drawn. Among
the number who have endorsed II from q
legal standpoint IL Roscoe Pound. former
supreme court commissioner.

Regarding Mukden, Kouropatxin says
quick measures were necessary to save the
city and Its defense was entrusted to Gen.
| eral Kaulbars.
IT again." he says insisted on speedy
action and gave Kauibars full freedom In
carrying out this order. Kaulbars did
not carry It out, giving as an excuse the
nonarrival OF troops"
How Kolbars failed to stop General
Nogis victorious advance is related with
much detail and constitutes in itself a vivid
recital Of the biunders, cross purposes, in
capacity and consequent disaster. Kaulbars
is directly accused of failure to carry out
his instructions and OF fatal inactivity in
defiance of urgent reiterated orders at
crucial periods Of the conflict.
Kaulbars was ordered on February Is
to ascertain the precise strength OF the
enemy the direction OF their movements
and intentions. These orders frequently
wre repeated, but disobeyed, and the COM
mander consequently was forced to make
his decisions hastily on false and incom-
plete information. Kaulbars assigned to
arresting Nogi's turning movement acted
upon erroneous information and devoted
all his time and attention to the movements
| Of Okru's army on the west front, mis-
taking 1t for Nogi's army
Kouropatkln's Conclusions declare that
"Kaulbars. in spite of the commanders in.
-chief's orders to attack, remained inactive
and did not even know the disposition OF
his own troops, The next day Kaulbarr
again made no move and dlsregarded or.
ders energetically to attack the enemy's
