Meagre reports hate been received from Russian source of a fight eight miles south of Tie pass between a Russian force, under General M:st chenko, and a Japanese column, the Identity of wblch is unknown. Tbe latter was repulsed, 'it is said, with a lots of 1,000 killed.' Tbe rumor tbs, after tbe evacuation of Mukden eighty foreijrt ers, including an American uewpper correspondent, bad been muraered by Chinese is discredited by tbe fact that tbe correspondent in question reported to bis paper on March 14 b ibat he had been captured by i he Japanese and was being taken to Kobe.

The postpone-. mentof tbe Russian loan tsoenniteiy confirmed To is. is likely to exert a nooerful influence lowarda peace. it ia the first time the French finan ciers have shown an Indisposition to advance funds while the uncertainties of war continue. Russia's disinclination to consider peace tppeara to .nave induced tne decision of the financiers not to pro reed with tbe con tr ret for a loan and accordingly the aignlng of It, which was expected yesterday, baa been postponed and all the pending nego tiations are also postponed. Accord ing to the Russian view this does not mean . . that the negotlatia- tloca bave been broken off, but merely that they are adjourned, aa the uussisn authorities sat. the arndicate holds Itself bound to ards Russia now as before. However the elrcumstancea of the adjournment tend to show that the syndicate In clit.es to wait for some definite devel opment of peace before proceeding any further. It ia significant that the postpone ment of the loan ia coincident with a atrong movement of the influential French presa favorable to peace. Tne Matin prominently displays a state ment befteved to reflect the views of financial circlea which declares that if Japan la ready to adopt a generoua at titude by paving an indemnity or 1m p st or any humiliation upon Russia, tben Russia's policy of war to the bitter ei.d will cease. It Is notable that some of the Russian officials speak approv ingly of tbe latter propositions They aay peace ia Impossible If an indemnity or any humiliating condltlona are ask ed, so that the ellmtnitlon of these two points will go far towards securing favorable consideration of peace. SOT AH INYITIHa INVESTMENT. - Loudon, March 15. Lord Roths child regards the postponement . of the Rusaian national loan aa tanta ' mount to a refusal on tbe part of the French .syndicate to treat any further. ' "After all," he aald, "it cannot be a matter for surprise. It is owing to the force of circumstance and not, I think, to the result of pressure on the part of the French government in the interests of peace. Between $3,500,- 000,00 and !3,000,C00,000 of French meney ia invested in Russia. There is nothing more natural than at the present time, with the affairs of Russia in the atate that they are, both at home and abroad, that it abould become difficult at last to find sub scribers in France to another Russian loan. That ia alL I think it ia force ot circumstancea and not pressure tending to peace on tne part oi tne French government. The French know that to continue the war meana a revolution in Russia, and that to cease it now under the present condi tions means a revolution." Lord Rothschild thought it waa dif ficult to aay where Russia would find the money to continue the war. BUSSIA EXPECTS A LOAN. Bt. Petersburg, March 15. At the Ministry of Finance it wis said to day that the negoiieMons for a new Rusiian loan of $125,000,000 In France are expected to be concluded and signed In Paria In ten days. Never theless the Associated Presa is in a po sition to assert that tbe Paris finan ciers bare been pressing for peace, jjslifytng-tbelr attitude on the ground of the enormous French commitment ia Russian funds.

More than a thous and corpses remain in front of our po Bltioca." The Fan river may be described aa part of the outler line defenses of Tie Paas, which probably led to the report that an attack had been made ou Tie Pass itself. PRISONERS VROat MUKDEN.

When the Senate met today there waa a very interesting flurry over Ssnto Domlnco affairs. Mr. Teller, of Colorado, introduced a resolution of inquiry asking the. 8tate Department for all Information concerning relatione with the Domlo can government between July 1, 1904.' and March 1, 1905. Tbe reading of the resolution had scarcely begun, when Mr. Cullom ob jected to further reading, saying that tne matter pertained to executive scaa aton business and ahould not be read in open session. - "The 8enator cannot take me off the floor,' declared Mr. Teller, "I deny the right of the Senator to inter rupt the reading of the resolution." , . After some further discussion the resolution was read, whereupon Mr. Cullom promptly objected to lta con sideration. The Senate after an executive ses sion adjourned until to-morrow. ' THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. Washington, March 15. Republi can leadera of the Senate are all at sea respecting the action advisable to take in regard to the Santo Domingo treaty. Recognising that the Demo crats control more than one-third of the votes and that two thirds areTe quired to ratify the convention, the srntiment of the Republican leadera la that the treaty ahould be withdrawn by tbe President On thia subject the 8enate and the Preaident do not agree and tbe Idea prevaila that after one or two daya more of inconsequential die -cuislon the special session of the Ben ate will be allowed to adjaurn with out date and the treaty lapse. But this plan is not popular In the Senate and a way to avoid it ia being aought One alternative which In the discussion concerning it was termed merely an excuse for Inaction ia that Senator Cullom, aa chairman of the committee on foreign relatione, ahould offer a resolution directing the President lo appoint a commission to make an in vestigation of the Santo Domingo debt and other questions involved in the protocol. Thia plan waa agreed on tentatively aa tbe programme most de airable under existing conditions, esa pecially as it la believed that auch a resolution could -be adopted without debate. No decision was reached which may not be changed tomorrow, however, and other plana have been suggested or are brewing. Tne debate during the day waa uni formly uninteresting, in spite of tbe fact that it was broken up by quea tlona from both sides of tbe chamber. As in the preceding discussions, party lines were drawn. The Republlcana aupporled the treaty and the Demo-, crata opposed it. Among those who talked for the treaty were Senator Spooner, Hepburn, Piatt of Connee ticut and Fulton, while those who op posed it were Senators McCreary, Morgan, Culberson, Mewiands, uni tary Clay and Bailey. . Hope haa been abandoned of ratify ing tbe Santo Domingo treaty at the present aesaion of the Benate. Tbe treaty ia not dead, but will be laid aside a few months. Senator Cullom and several other 8enatora talked with the President to day about the matter and all the indloationa are that no definite action on it will be taken at present. , BLACK-TWISTED JCTDGES. Washington Marcn 15. Greater care in tne selection of tbe Federal ju diciary waa urged In executive session of tbe 8enate to-day. The subject was Introduced by Senator Bailey who commented on the fact that the Preai dent waa not a lawyer and therefore not likely to alwaya weigh a candi date's leeal knowledge as thoroughly as would be done by a lawyer-prtal-dent He mentioned the ease of ex Repreaentatlve Dayton, of West Vir ginia, who waa confirmed yesterday for tbe northern dtatrlct of bla 8tate . The Senator apoke of criticisms that had been made beeauae of thla ap pointment and aald that while tbey may be entirely groundless it waa the only of the Senate to scrutinise eiosely all appointments to judgeships, and get away from partlaanahip in considering them. The discussion became general and Senator Bailey's sentiments were echoed by a number of other Senators. Many eulogistic things were said of former Represents tlve Dayton, but at the same time the plan of filling tbe judiciary from members of Congress whose fitness bad not been proven waa criticised severely. Objection also was made to the rewarding of defeated members of Congress by gtviag them places on tbe bench.

It took the combined efforts of two sheriffs to keep two women ' from engaging in a hair pulling match while the Superior Court waB in session in Charlotte Tues day afternoon. JThe parties to the affair were Mrs. A. J. Groner and her daughter, Mrs. L. D. Benfield. and the tronble arose over - a V a a fourteen-year oia gtri, me child of Mrs. Benfield, who had . been making her home with her grandmother, Mrs. Groner. On a-T7 writ of habeas corpus the case was brought from Catawba county andrON. was being argued before Judge M. II. Justice m chambers, me writ was' denied, and the mother who sought possession of her child was told that it was in better hands and therefore the court would not take ber from her grandmother. Just aa the litigants were leaving the court N room, Mrs. Benfield, defying the or- M der of tbe court, rushed on her aged wJ mother and attempted to grab ber bv her hair. The child clung closely tn har trrandnarfint and raised her hand to ward off the blows tbat her 7 mother would have struck, hacT it w not been for the interference of the ' I two sheriffs.
