Russian forces iu ihf district of Tzuanvanche north of Mukden sta tion, rested mHler arms throughout the nlphf. Shortly b.fort dawn a large Japanese force approached tho Zararltser regiment. This regiment allowed the Japanese to approach w'tliin two hundred pacis and then discharge! a volley from their rifle and opened on lliem with quick fire guns, simply mowing down Lie Jap anese, wbo were repulsed.

It is not even knowu whether the railroad has been cut and communica tions destroye d, though it Is believed the rrporcd dcsiructionof the line by Oku's army refers to damage inflict ed Wednesday, which was not serious, though traffic was twice interrupted. It is evident, however, that, ihf Jap anese are pressing closer nits inlis pcnsalile line of retreat.

Pes simism yesterday was even deeper Mukden, March 8. Id a m. Delayed Artillery fire is now being directed from the vicinity of the undent, north ern tombs against the Japanese forces which are crowding to the railway where additional troops are as icnibk'd to meet th'8 contingency. A narrow strip west of tho railroad is literally covered with Koldiers and military accoutrements. The entire south front is now retiring iu con formity with a plan formula-od upon consequences of the day's fighting, and th? Japanese, apprehending the movement, are taeniselvts rush'ng north around the Russian right. Pre ceding the retirement last night heavy firing which extended ujong the entire south front was for the lirst time audible at Mukden through out the entire night and increasing v th the day as it npproacr.ed the west, and r.orth. The evacuation of tho Shiikhe posi tion involved several hundred miles of field and overland railways and I .legraphs, enormous defensive works red cross soppli. s, towns, fuel and for iare stores, the latter of which U was i necessary to burn.

The J. dot legislative convention has sough' an opinion from the state supreme c'Jtirt on tho question whether it ha.- the power to declare the ofiire of gov ernor vacant and what t.ie effect of fcuch action would bo. and tho decis ion of the Poahody-Adanis Miberna torial comtst will t.p deferred tint ! the court's answer is received. Senator Alexander, a member of tli3 contest committee, was a)iowel today t j ame nd his report which fa vored the seating of Lieutenant Gov ernor McDonald as governor, in such a way that If tt should be now adop 'ed by the Joint committee Adams would be legislated out of office. Alexander's amended report de clares that there was no lejal elec Hon for governor hi the state la-i November, but the resolut'on declar ing McDonald "the legal duly quali fied governor of tlw state" Is omit ed and the . following is substituted: "That the action of tho joint asscrob' Iv in declaring Alva Adams ' elected governor be hereby rescinded and re voked,, and that 'a vacancy bo declar ed in the office of governor." I'nder the constitution tho adop tion of tho Alexander resolution would seem to have tho effect of con- t'niiing Peabody in office, his legal successor having not, bean elected. That question, however, will be sub mitted to the supreme court for adju dication before a vote is tak 'n on any of tho reports before the Joint assembly. London, March 9.
