He had since then been sup ported by a strong faction of his -party and Senator Teller; tfoo'had left'tfae Republican for the Democratic party on the silver issue, was only elected two years ago by the aid of antl-Wolcott Republicans.

The fighting is becoming more Intense and the result is still problematical. The battle line extends for nearly 100 miles and the whole of both armies Is engaged. The artillery fire is general and per sistent along the whole front The enemy has suffered a severe repulse near Kon dayu. where the attack was repelled after desperate fighting on the part of the Russian forces. The Russians have also driven the Japanese from the Unitall Pass and from the vicinity of Gauto. A bridge over the Shakhe River has been the scene of the fiercest fighting. A small wodd in the neighborhood changed hands repeatedly, but as it was of little importance, it was finally aban doned to the Japanese. It is believed Oyama Is planning an at tempt to pierce the railway between Mukden and Tlellng before General Kuro patkln can reach the latter point, by swinging his right wing In a north westerly direction. The Russian comman der, however; according ,to the experts at the War Office, has anticipated tfils move and a clash Is expected at that point RACE TO ESCAPE CAPTURE. Story of Rerinenkampff's Retreat From Da Pass at Night. OUBENEPUZA. Feb. 23. via Mukden. March L One of the coldest and most cheerless operations of the Winter's war fare In Manchuria was the 13-mJle retreat of the Tsinkhetchen division the night of February 25 from Dapass to Oubenepuza. All day General Rennenkampff's soldiera, wearied by a week of continual fighting and. disheartened by the abandonment of Tsinkhetchen, had flung off attack after attack by overwhelming numbers of Jap anese, In order to cover the withdrawal of supplies which had been accumulated in large warehouses at Solun. This vil lage is five miles north of the village of Oubenepuza, where the road from Gao Pass to the eastward joins the main Telnkbetchen-Fuchun highway. At 6 o'clock on tho evening of February 26 the commander of the battalion on the Gao Pass' road lent word that, he was un able longer to b.old out against the Jap anese advancing In that direction, but the commander of the division was deter mined to hold on until the. last wason should have leftv Solun. Word was re ceived at 3 o'clock that the withdrawal had been safely effected, and then the dreary retreat began. The wind wae high. and snow was falling heavily. Every mo ment tho cannonading of the Gao Pass road became louder, and the bursting of shrapnel illuminated the heights to the eastward. It became evident to every man of the command plodding through the deepening snow tfiat the danger of being cut oft was imminent Only the coolness and courage of the commander averted disaster. The retreat was so timed that the rear guard reached Oubenepuxa just In time. The force retreating on the easterly road had been driven In on the village, and the forces uniting, fixed bayonets, turned about and In utter darkness drove the -Japanese back two miles. On February 27 the Japanese renewed the attack, but the Russians repulsed re peated assaults. Today (February 2& there was desperate fighting-, but the Rus sians had succeeded In retaining posses sion of the village. The Japanese fought with fanatical bravery, making several night attacks and charging tinder cover of darkness and fiercb snow storm almost oid to the muzzle of the Russian batteries, which met them with -grape and shrapnel.
