in mm SPECIAL SESSION.
The special session of the Senate ODen-
ed Monday with a new figure in tho
president s chair that of Vice President Fairbanks. The Vice President was received ;ith loud applause, and immediately called the Senators to order. The
new Senators were warmly greeted by their colleagues and then the chamber
went into executive session to take up
tne öanto Domingo treaty. A message received from the President related to the treaty and it was the first thing taken up. It called attention to the protocol of an agreement with the government of Santo Domingo by which the
United States will undertake to conduct the republic's customs affairs In an effort to liquidate its debts to put the island government on a more stable footing with other countries. The treaty was read in conection with the message in
order to have both referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.. General discussion of the message followed the
reading. The President Tuesday sent to the Senate the following nominations: Treasurer of the United States, Charles T. Treat, New York; collector of internal revenue, Charles W. Anderson for the second district of New York; district judge. Alston G. Dayton, northern AW-
trict of West Virginia: secretary of embassy. John Ridsrely Carter. Mnrvlinri

tion. President Roosevelt on Wednesday sent a second message to the Senate, in which he showed how the San Domingo treaty would prove beneficial to both nations. The Senate committee on for
eign relations has loaded the. treaty with so many amendments, by which the original meaning of the instrument is considerably changed, that it may possibly be rejected by the President

The Russians have admitted Japanese victory in great eighteen days battle at Mukden. Losses are believed to total 100,000 in killed and wounded; thousands of tons of supplies have been burned. Count BenckeodorE. the Tl iKimn am.
bassador to Great Britain, has paid $323,000 to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne in settlement of the North Sea claims and the incident was thus closed. A dispatch from Durbau, Natal, says the captain of a collier which has arrived there from Nossi Be Island, off the coast of Madagascar, where the Russian warships arrived several days ago, reports that the warships are so covered with
sea weed that he does not think it possible for them to proceed. Justice of the Peace, Toribio of Meriveles is under arrest in Manila charged with sedition.

The deaths in India from the plague in cne recent week numbered 34 OUT Statistics show that the deaths from bubonic plague in India within a few year

The new railvay will be financed by the Pekln-Shaniaikwan Railway Company, which is bonded to Englishmen. Ivalgan is the railway key to ail the northwestern section.
IN GENERAL, The Government must pay $3,000,000 to the sugar trust, according to the decree of the Federal court, that amount representing excess in duties charged ia 1003.

The movement started In the Mississippi valley to make the United States Senate n:ore responsive to public opinion by the adoption of the primary election system of choosing Senators bids fair to assume formidable proportions. Some idea of the severity of the winter season just drawing to a close may be gathered from the fact that the Navy Department is now confronted with the necessity of . seeking out and promptly destroying no fewer than twenty-seven ocean derelicts which are lying In the great ocean lanes from Santiago to Newfoundland and endangering shipping enteric or departing from Atlantic porta.

ALMOST A SEDAN.
Kuropatkin Escapes with Only 50,000 of His Army of 350,000. The remnant of the Russian army in decimated sections succeeded in battling a way to Tie Pass through a relentless gauntlet of Japanese artillery. Kuropatkin. in person, led thi Russian right flank in desperate effort to hold at bay the armies of Nogi and Oku. Meantime a portion of the retreating army got past the immediate danger point. The retreat continued under a hail of shrapnel and shells from Japanese artillery occupying positions parallel to the line of retreat Thousands of Russians toiled northward, mile after mile, their trail a trail of death, as thousands were mowed down by th awful rain of steel. The Russian vanguard reached Tie Pass, but southward, with undiminished fury, the rear guard battle
went on, the Japanese still madly struggling to make the blow find.
The losses are estimated at 200.xj0
to both armies. The Japanese have taken thousands of prisoners, and their capture of guns, munitions and
storas are of enormous proportions
It is reported by way of Tokio that only 50.000 of the Russians who were
defending Mukden escaped to Tiding.
The Russian casualties are known to
be over 100,000.
The Rusians had in battle 37G bat
talions of Infantry, 178 squadrons of
cavalry, and 171 batteries of artillery.
In other words, Gen. Kuropatkin's
army consisted of 300,800 infantry,
20,700 cavalry, and l.:jLS guns. The total number of the Japanese forces is
not stated, but it is vaguely estimated
at 700,000 men of all arms.
