JHenefee's Uniformity Bill
Lacked One Vote
The general appropriation bill is
tdlll occupying the attention of tho
comic 1. A great many ameadmont
are being mado tojbo bill as It passed
the house some Items being cut and
more added.
(Last night Senator Aloxander creat-
ed i small sensation by attaching his
herd Jaw till as a rider to tho appro-
priation bill. Thjs put new life laia
great deal' of Tiffentlon and i whole
lot of hot fighting during this session
or th" legislature. The bill was
passed through tho house originally
was transmitted to the council
amended and sent back tp tho house
In the mr-anUme conditions had ma-
terially changed !a the house 'With re
apect to this bill. Members that had
toted for it first fought it tho second
lime. The change of heart was at-
trloubad to tho killing of the follow
servant bill. It tim a game of "play-
ing even." Alexander has fought hard
for this measure nrd Is to bo com-
mended by his constituents for his un-
tiring efforts. What tho fate of tho
b U nt tha hfnd8 of tho house -vlll be
is pretty hard to surmise. Roth side
of the question claim a victory. This
Is the third time that tho house has
had the measure.

Dispatches Announce That at Ten O'clock This Morning Japanese Troops Occupied the
Walled City of Mukden Capturing Thousands of Prisoners and Enormous Quan
titles of Arms Munitions and SuppliesThe Russian Troops are Demoral
ized and Panic Stricken But Still Gamely Fighting at Several Points
Japanese Display a Rare Example of Desperate Strategy.
(Dy Associated Press.)

it 10 o 'clock Friday morning.

Tokio March 10. (10 p. m.) -Fushun was occupied
by tho Japanese last night. Fighting continues on tho
heights north of Fushun.
Tokio March 10. (6 p. m.) Oyama telegraphs as fol-
lows under today's date:
"We occupied Mukden at 10 o'clock this morning. Our
surrounding movement in which wo haA'e been engaged
for some days past has now completely succeeded. Fierce
fighting continues at several places in the vicinity of Muk-
den. We captured a great number of prisoners enormous
quantities of arms ammunition provisions and other war
supplies."
New Chwang March 10. According to reliable infor-
mation received here the Russians having been driven out
of Mukden and Fushun and witli the railroad cut are
re-creating in a demoralized condition to the hill country
towards the northeast. Kuroki is advancing northwest
ind forcing the Russians against Nogi's army. The cas-
ualties on both sides are enormous. The Russian Six-
teenth army corps was practically annihilated at Ta Tieh
Kiao. Eight thousand Russians foil at Leu Kuen Pao.
Tokio March 10. (11 a. m.) Reports from Manchur-
ian army headquarters say that the Japanese captured
Tita. T hoRiissiuus are vigorously holding and defending
their fortifications north of Hun 'river. A dust storm is
interfering with the battle.
St. Petersburg March 10. Tho extent of the disaster
to Kuropatkin 's army is as yet unknown here but tho
most sinister reports receive credence and the public be-
lieves that Oyama has succeeded in closing an iron ring
around at least a large portion of the army. Communica-
tion with Mukden apparently is cut as not a word has ar-
rived datod later than yesterday at 5 o'clock hi tho after-
noon when the situation of General Bildorling wlio com-
mands the rear guard and the thousands who wore fighting
off Japanese assaults almost at the wails of tho city west
and north of Mukdon was desperate. Even from the east
Kuroki pushed through until Fu pass was under Japanese
guns.
The only consolation papa's find in today's news is that
the Russian troops have been conquered by a wonderful
foe declaring that the desperate expedient which the
Japanese successfully employed at Diushanton is without
parallel in history. During the heigth of a terrible dust
storm the Japanese lines actually faced about apparently
firing into thou own resorves deceiving the Russians and
backing into Russian wire otnanglomchts before they
wero djseovoyed.
Mukden March 10. The
bombarded the bridge at Fu
.miles east of Mukden. Russian artiUonMBplied vigor
ously. The cannonading lasted an hour.
At present tho Japanese are making moat onorgetie at-
tacks osuth of tho Ilun river. It is rumorod that they have
transferred thither some of their forces from the north-
west in anticipation of a night attack.

north of the Mukden station rested under arms through-
out the night. Shortly before dawn a large Japanese
force approached the Searaitzer regiment. This regiment
allowed the Japanese to approach within 200 paces and
then dischargejl a volley from their rifles and opened fire
on them withJiuick fire guns simply mowing down the
Japanese who were repulsed.
Among the prisoners brought in on Wednesday were a
number of privates in new uniforms who were from a
recently organized Japanese reserve division. There is
reason to believe another division is to be landed in the
northern part of Korea to mako a demonstration against
Vladivostok.
On Wednesday there were furious attacks northwest of
Mukden against the villages of Santaitze Yangshihitun
and Ushuntun. These attacks were all repulsed. The
wind today attained hurricane force. The soldiers are
covored with mud and dirt so that their faces are scarcely
recognizable. Genoral Kuropatkin and his staff are in
little better plight.
Civilians are streaming northward out of Mukden
Mukden March 10. Diushanton was the scene yostor-
day of ..bloodshed and the most desperate fighting of all
this terrible battle. Its possession was vital to the Jap-
anese who stormed it again and again. The Russians dis-
lodged them but finally after much hand-to-hand fighting
the Japanese recaptured the village. Tho dead scattered
in the streets have been unburicd four days. Hand
grenades were thrown by the Japanese and the garrison
wets subjected to the continued fire of a hundred guns
Once Diushanton was in their hands tho Japanese turned
their guns upon the Mukden railroad station.
New Chwang March 9. (via Tien Tsiu March 10.)
It is reported here that Tie post has been invested by the
Japanese and that General Kuropatkin having no alter-
nativer will probably be forced to surrender within a week.
The Russians have not been reinforced from the direc-
tion of Harbin since March 1.
General Nogi's army made a forced march of 23 miles
daily and acting in conjunction with General Oku's army
surrounded eighty thousand Russians in the direction of
Tie pass and cut off their supplies.
Tho hurrying Japanese armies passed a division of Rus-
sians without giving it any attention until the enveloping
movement was completed when they crushingly attacked
the Russians on all sides.
