FIGHTING IS BEGUN Kuropatkln Claims to Have Won Decided Victory. DRIVES BACK JAPANESE FRONT Amid Bitter Cold Weather Hostilities Are Resumed with Vigor Sev eral Villages Captured St. Petersburg, Jan. 28. Additional dispatches were received by the general staff from Kuropatkln, commanding tho Russian army south of Mukden. They supplement the earlier advices of Russian successes on tho right ot tho Russian army, and scorn to indicate that tho movement now in progress along tho Hun river is extending in area and assuming considerable propor tions. The text ot Knropatktn's mes sage, which is dated January 27, is as follows: "In tho capture of Chaun Lutotso (Khailotosa), Tutaike and Chelgutnt (kheigoutnyn), we took about 100 pris oners. Wo have also occupied Tohituitso on tho Ilun river after a stubborn tight, which resulted in a lost ot 50 men to us. Our positions near Sandepu (Sandy Pass) were attacked today by Japancso columns moving from the south and southeast, but they were repulsed. Our cavalry partook in tho maneuvering against tho Japanese left Hank, attack Ing tho enemy from the rear. Our troops then continued the attack on the Japanese position near Sandepu. After a desperate fight, which lasted until 7 o'clock Thursday evening, wo entered Sandepu, which is a largo vil Iago and was strongly entrenched." Military experts here, while not at taching too much importance to the reported successful movements of the Russian right, express tho opinion that a determined effort will bo made in the near future by General Kuropatkln to deprive the Japanese of several villages which are serving as winter quarters. The operations of Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday are no doubt tho begin ning of the program, but opinion is divided as to whether it marks the com mencement of the Manchurian cam paign ot 1905. Many believe that weather conditions will not permit of prolonged operations and that tho orig inal plan ot waiting for warmer weather before precipitating decisive engage ments will be adhered to by both ar mies. NO CHANCE FOR SHIP SUSSIDY. Report of the Commission Has Fallen Flat In Congress. Washington. Jan. 28. It is scarcely probable that any attempt will be'mado at this session of congress to pass tno ship subsidy bill. It will die on March 4, along with hundnUs of other less important measures. Tho object of the bill probably has been accomplished in showing that this congresss at least is not in favor of a subsidy measure. In fact, nothing has fallen so flat as this production of the merchant marine commission. The most earnest advo cates of the bill soon realized after the report of the commission was present ed that it was useless to atcmpt to pass it. This was not because a filibuster in the senate would cause Its defeat. but it had been plainly shown that there was not a majority in either bouse or scnato for the bill. The re port of the commission was a great dis appointment. That it should result in bringing about a subsidy measure when subisdies were so unpopular during the time that they were pushed by Hanna, was a surprise, and straight way the men who have charge ot affairs in congress set about to deieat it. Of course the advocates of the scheme will try to make it appear that the reason why the bill was so unpop ular at this session of congress was be cause the leaders did not want to in crease appropriations at a time when rigid economy was necessary. Jlut such is not tho fact. To Demonstrate In New York. New York, Jan. 28. If the plans of Russian bocialists in this city are not interfered with by the police, Madison Square garden will be the scene to night ot a great demonstration by sym pathizers with tho Russian revolution ists.

Small red flags will 1x3 distributed to those in lino, and to the music ot patriotic airs a march will begin. Give Them Adequate Pay. Washington, Jan. 28. Senator Ful ton took occasion in tho senate today to protest against the provision in the army bill cutting down the pay of re tired officers assigned to duty. "There is no more important duty an army officer can perform," said he, "than that which he performs in training and organizing tho state militia. When this government assigns an officer on the retired list to active duty, whether in tho service ot the state militia or elsewhere, ho Is entitled to have actual pay." Give Coeur d'Alene an Agent. Washington, Jan. 28. Senator Hey- burn has prepared ami will offer an amendment to the Indian appropria tion bill segregating the Ceour d'Alene Indians in Idaho from tho Colvlllo agency in Washington. At present 600 Ccour d'Alene aro under tho con trol of tho Indian agent at Colvillo, but their affairs aro not satisfactorily managed.

FIRE IN OMAHA. It Eats Up $700,000 Worth of Prop orty In Whoteialo Housai. Omaha, Jan. 30. A llro which do- slreyod property estimated nl npproxl mutely $700,000 started lit 10:30 o'clock last night fiom what Is believed to have boon im overheated stove In the great commission houso of C. 11. Mill len A Co., at Klovcnth and Howard streets. The Harnett spread so rapidly that Chief Walter, of the tiro depart mont, at imco turned in a general alarm, which brought tho cnllro de partment of tho city to tho scene, not however, until the flames had gotten iliuto Ir'YoihI control. Five commission houses were located In tho building where tho liftmen start ed, and all of these were enveloped In n very short time. In tho tour storied above and covering a quarter of a block was located tho stock ot a wholesale dry goods concern, which furnished tho flames with Intlamuuthlo material and added to their fury, lleforo the firemen wcro organized tho entire building covering a quarter of a block, was a mass ot tlames. Adjoining buildings occupied by other concerns ot consider able Importance were In tho path o the fire, and wcro soon nblnzo. Across the alley to tho north five-story build Ing, occupied by a lanrc manufacturing and Jobbing shoo concern, caught in tho upper stories, ami tho lire soon spread to tho lower floors and the entire stock was destoryed. NEW COMMERCIAL TREATIES Germany Does Not Give America Ben efit, bu Wants Reciprocity. Berlin, Jan. 30. Tho government this evening published an abstract of the new commercial treaties with Austro-Hungary, Russia', Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Roumania and Scrviu, which aro expected to deeply nffect tier many's foreign trado for tho next ten years, the term for which tho trentles run. The new tarill, which is not yet In force, will go into effect on tho same dato as tho treaties, in ItlOll, Tho treaties nffect tho United States adversely only In case they are defined by Germany as not coming under thn most favored nation clause. Tho gov ernment is determined not to raise tho question of tho most favored nation clause until the treaties go into cucct, and tho correspondent's Inference Is that the German government is reluct ant tn give the United States the bene fit of these bargains. Tho German government would glad ly negotiate a reciprocal treaty with the United States. Germany has collected expressions of American government ollicials on the Cuban-Anicricnn recit rocal treaties that make, tho govern ment thinks, a strong argument against admitting the United States to tho ben ellts of the new treaties.

Senator Ankeny has prepared and will offer two amendments to the river and harbor bill, ono appropriating $50,000 for improving tho Columbia river between the mouth of tho Okan ogan and Kettle Tails, another appro priating $25,000 for improving Olympin harbor. Can't Get Enough Vessels. Washington, Jan. 30. The navy de partment is having much trouble In the transportation of coal to the Asiatic station on account of the statute which requires such shipments to bo made In American bottoms. Rear Admiral Manney, chief of tho bureau of equip ment, lias again recommended that au thority bo given for making such ship ments In foreign bottoms until the sup ply of fuel in storage at Cavite shall be sufficient to justify the delay caused by the difficulty in obtaining American bottoms at reasonable rates. Coming After Adjournment. Washington, Jan. 30. Senator Mitchell went to New York today on private business. Ho would not dis close the object ot his errand. Senator .Mitchell declared before leaving that he would not return to Portland until after tho adjournment of congress, as ho could accomplish nothing by going earlier, A favorable report was made today on Senator Mitchell's bill to pay tho Clatsop Indians $15,000 In settle ment ot their claims against tho gov ernment, and tho Tillamook Indians $10,500 on similar claims.

HARD FIGHT FOR CELILO CANAL Oregon and Washington Improve ments Have n Grand Total of SI. 340,000. Washington, Jan. 20. In view of tho unprecedented paring down of river and harbor appropriations this year, anil In face ot tho efforts of Republican leaders In congress to enforeo tho most rigid economy, tho Columbia river has been exceptionally well cared for In tho river and harbor bill just com pleted by the house committee. While tho appropriations nro not ns largo as asked for, they average up well along Bide those made for other sections of ho country; in fact, Chairman Burton ml mltted today that he thought tho l'a el lie northwest had received mere lib eral treatment than any other part of the country. Tho appropriation which Is most gratifying to friends of tho Columbia river Is that w Inch Insures the build ing of Tho Dalles-Celilo cannl. Mr, Burton, backed by almost tho entire committee, Mood out against this pro ject more persistently than against any other proposition brought before him, and It was only under Intense pressure that ho yielded. It was the hopo and Intent of tho friends ot this project to have it made a continuing contract. Could this have been done, tho canal would have passed Iwyond tho jurisdiction ot tho river and harbor committee and would hnvo received an annual appropriation in tho sundry civil bill, In amounts suffi cient to pay for work as It progressed until completed. But on this point Mr. Burton was unyielding. .Never thclcss the final action of tho commit tee is in tho nature of a compromise, for while an Immediate appropriation of $50,000 is made, tho army engineers nro authorized to mako contracts for $250,000, which is equivalent to nn ap propriation of $300,000. Tho $250,000 not carried by this bill will lie incor porated in tho sundry civil bill next session, in plenty of time, according to tho enginers, to meet iKiyinents. There Is strong Iioiki that by tho tlmo this money is exiiendeil congress will bo willing to make the ITelllo canal a con tinuing contract, so that it need not again le considered In the river and harbor hill. Three other Columbia river appro priations are split up like tor tho Celilo canal. Three hundred thousand dol lars Is mado immediately available for the mouth of tho Columbia, and tho engineers nro authorized to mako con tracts for $300,000 additional, this last sum to bo carried in the next sundry civil bill. Likewise, for improving the channel from Portland to the sea, $100,000 Is-appropriated in' the river and harltor bill, and $125,000 adill tionnl will he carried In tho next sun dry civil bill. For dredging u 20-foot channel between Vancouver and the mouth of tho Willamette $30,000 cash s appropriated, and another $30,000 will bo provided next year In the sun dry civil bill. Tho following amounts aro all wcd or ashington : Tacoma harbor, dredging 1'uyallup waterway, $40,000 cash; $20,000 In sundry civil bill. Lakes Union nnd Washington canal, $120,000 for dredging nt Bullard and authorization ot new survey to deter mine whether a one-lock canal can be sudbstltutcd for tho two-lock project.

This light was made without such aid. Senator Fulton, Representative Wll llamson and Representative Jones have been working unitedly and unremitting ly on bchult ot tho Celilo canal project ever since tno rivers mid harlHirs coin mittco commenced framing Its bill Representative Jones, by reason of his membership ot tho eommlttto, hits Ikwh able to render and has rendered most valuable service. IN CZAR'S PLACE. Reformers Will Create a Provisional Government In Russia. St. Petersburg, Jan. 25. Russian officials today stand aghast before the possibility of a provisional government Iwinu established by it nmntier ol Lib erals and moderate Socialists who, It Is stated, nro men of wealth and position. Tho authorities lost no tlmo when this report became known In arresting M Annesky, ono of tha few leaders of this latest movement whose names ore known to tho public, nnd It Is stated that Maxim (iorky, tho novelist, also IdcntiUcd with tho political revolt, bus received warning to withdraw from act ivo participation It he values his lib erty. Others aro also stated to have been taken Into custody, but their names will not bo divulged at present by tho officials. At this hour It would seem as though tho government hud succeeded In im pressing tho strikers with tho useless- nesrt of mob resistance to tho guns ot tho trooiH. Tho general opinion Is, therefore, that clashes will Ix-come less frequent, and that those who consider violence tho only lilting reply to tho government's course will resort to liombs. Ono Incident ot this character, at least, has already occurred, but the at tempt was frustrated. Tho crowds, It Is thought, may now scatter. Their places will then, according to the So cialist traders, lm taken by small groups ot two or three, who will make their wav to tho covcrnment hitlldincs and palaces, ami, by placing Ijomhs, In tlict more damage anil loss of life than would be in the power of the full force of strikers.
