Great Battle About Mukd6n Pursued New York, March TO— In a proclamation more forceful and direct than often figures in labor controversies Warren Sj Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, practically put an end to the strike against the lnterborougli Rapid Transit company by condemning tiie course taken by the motormcn and commanding them to return to work at once or suffer expulsion from the national organization. William L. Jencks, local leader-of the motormcn, received Mr. Stone's ultimatum in angry mood and defied him. Mukden, March Id.—The great battle continued all day yesterday in a gale strong enough to lift men from their feet. There was also a driving rain. To the south miles of flame and great pillars of smoke marked the retreat of General Blldering and Major General Onadera, 011 the Russian center. On the right and left a great artillery duel, with intermittent infantry fighting, went on, beginning before dawn. At several points west of Mukden Japanese divisions gained the five mile line tVf the railroads, but not permanently. Three times after dawn the enemy were forced from Suntaitmi and Cliaochiawa. These points were retaken iu infantry charges by the Second army corps, led by Major General Zoubarleff.In Gale and Rain, Other important amendments are as follows: That part of the preamble which declares that the Dominican government is in "imminent peril and urgent menace of intervention on the part of nations whose citizens have claims" is stricken out and the preamble left to read that the proceeding is on the ground of having debts "which "burden the republic." Toklo, March 10.—It is announced the Japanese occupied Mukden at 10 o'clock tills morning. Mrs. Bennett refused to be guided by the letters, contending that it was no part of the will, and the litigation just decided followed. The general Russian retreat toward Tie pass began Monday. Nogi's army made a forced march, covering twentyfive miles a day and iu conjunction with Oktl's army surrounded 80,000 Russians about Tie pass and cut off thtfr supplies. The most Intense jubilation prevails here over the fall of Mukden. Patriotic processions formed in the streets and great crowds joined C• marching. shouting which is freely translated "Lonsc live the Amherst Students Unyielding, Amherst, Mass., March 10.—The senior class at the Massachusetts Agricultural college, the twenty-seven members of which have recently remained away from the classrooms as a result of the suspension for misbehavior of three members of the class, have been notiBed by the faculty that unless studies were resumed by March 16 all will be expelled. Many of the seyiors have disposed of their room furnishings preparatory to leaving town. In the first article, which describes the character of the claims this government proposes to adjust, an amendment was adopted to include obligations "liquidated and agreed upon." This amendment is for the purpose of giving the present treaty application to the adjustments of the claims of the Santo Domingo Improvement company, the payment of Which has already been begun under the agreement by which the United States lias taken charge of a number of eustoip houses under the protocol of Jan. 31,^903.

Officials of flip Iuterborough company listened eagerly to the reading of the order, liut stated that it would have 110 effect upon their relations with the men. Kvery employee who left his post, they said, must now return to them as an individual and take his chance with other men in obtaining a position. "The river here shows twenty-nine feet and rising rapidly, and it is raining, and much alarm is felt by people living in the lowlands. Already there are flood conditions at Monongah and nearby towns on the west fork, where a number of cattle have been drowned, and the waters are already entering the coal mines, whichfliave been compelled to abandon operations temporarily. Nearly every mine on the west fork in this section is affected. On the Fairmont-Clarksburg division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad there are several landslides, the most serious at Mlddleton and Highland, and wreck trains have been ordered to the scene." The victory having been anticipated for several days everything is completed for an unparalleled demonstration tonight, when a brilliant lantern parade will be held. The .Japanese have a large force at Tawa. on the main highway to Tie pans, fifteen miles north of Piuglupa. and another large force to the northwest ou both sides of the railroad. Northwest of Mukden the whole front is said to be covered with Russian mines, and this fact helped to hurry the Japanese in the forced march. There is a great difference of opin. Ion here as to whether the great Japanese victory will menu peace. Those most capable of expressing an opinion decline to commit themselves, saying that everything dc]Deiids upon the czar, and that It Is impossible to say Farther northwest, the northerly column of the Japanese attacked Sanchiatsu at 4 o'clock in the morning, taking the Russian outer line in a bayonet charge. Then they swept the farther field with shrapnel for two hours, in Chejngatfthne bringing up Infantry reserves for a\harge to the railroad zone. General Kainbars threw divisions of the Seventh hud Seventeenth army corps against the'Japanese advance, and for live hours the field was taken ami retaken in dome of the most desperate the war. This end of the battle, raged on fiercely 111 the aft ernoon, the enemy attempting to seize the railroad bridges at the Yulu river.

The vote which the bill received in the senate Is thought to insure Its passage through the assembly also. ball Next, Toklo, March 10. The fighting Loudon, March 10.—In the opinion of English military critics General Kuroputkln's forces are doomed to complete disaster. Careful study of all the avenues of possible escape and the dispositions of the victorious Japanese armies leads to the conclusion that the best he can hope is to have a mere remnant of his army after devoting whole divisions to slaughter. For Kuropatkin, A statement was sent out all along the lines of the two systems carrying a message of good cheer to the new men who have taken the places of the strikers. The statement was signed by both Mr. Iledley and Mr. Bryan and read as follows: which made the fall of Mukden pos- sible occurred late yesterday. It took place at the village of Vlnshantun, six miles west of Mukden. The lighting Most alarming reports are pouring in from all sections of West Virginia. A dispatch from New burg, W.

During the" debate on the bill Senator Coggesliall presented figures to prove that boxing was a far more humane sport than football.

The decision upholds the superior court, which rendered, judgment to the effect that the clause in Mr. Bennett's will containing the paragraph in regard to the $50,000 to be left to Mr. Bryan is Inoperative and that the said fund is a part of the residuary estate.

St. Petersburg, March 10.—St. Petersburg this morning knows little more of the outcome of the buttle of Mukden than it kuew Wednesday night and little more of the fate of General Ivuropatkirt's beaten army. It is not even known whether the railroad has been cut and communications destroyed, though it is believed that the reported destruction of the line by General Oku's army refers to the damage inflicted 011 Wednesday, which was not s#rious, though traffic was twice interrupted. It is evident, however, that the Japanese are V'essing closer this indispensable line of retreat. The most important news received from Kussiau sources is the information, that the Japanese already hare reached the Hun river. Fu pass is only twelve miles east of Mukden and well westward of General Liuevitch's Hue of retreat. Whether the extreme ltussian left has already succeeded in retiring behind the Hun river aud moving down the north bank of that stream to join hands with General Kuropatkin's main force is not stated, but It is extremely probable that unless the Hussians are able to defend the crossing at Fu pass General Renneukampf's corps aud perhaps additional forces will be cut off and have to shift for themselves In the mountainous region .north of Fusnn against expeditionary forces of Japanese which are reported from Chinese sources to be racing toward Tie pass.
