compromise of St. Francis levee
ir--v district affairs is believed to be
in the air. It is said that some
of the appointees of Gov. Davis
r have been approached and offer
ed positions on the board pro
vided in the Killough bill.
There has been a considerable
lobby here against the Killough
bill and a considerable one in fa
vor of if As a matter of fact,
the bill has a stormy road before
it. Not only must it pass the
senate, it is now ready to be
called up for the third reading,
but it must pass the house, and
, then after its veto go through
the same process with increased
) majorities.
No meeting of the Davis board
has yet been called for reorgani
zation. One of the appointees,
H. F. Roleson of Lee county, is i

of Argenta to Little Rock, and
to prevent its resurrection during

by voting to reconsider the meas
ure and then laying that motion
on the table, which is the par
liamentary way of preventing a
bill from rising again. At this

contingent of Faucette followers
were present, and they made the
old capitol building ring with
cheers in a demonstration upon

RUSSIAN REMNANTS
ENTRENCH TIE PASS.
Feel Secure From Pursuing Jap
enese Who Are Now Bury
ing Their Dead—Ivama
mura May Cut Retreat.
St. Petersburg, March 14.—
According to the information re
ceived at the war office, the rem
nants of Gen. Kuropatkin’s ar
my have made good their retreat
and are now out of the immediate
danger of a new turning move
ment north of Tie Pass.

task of burying their dead and
looking after their wounded,pris
oners and plunder.
The war office admits,however,
that Kuropatkin has not furnish
ed specific information as to the
whereabouts of Gen. Kamamura,
who has been reported to be
northeast of Tie Pass, or of the
Japanese columns reported to be
pushing north by forced marches
west of the railroad.
WAR TO BE CONTINUED.
While Kuropatkin has assumed
cii_-C— '
L will ICOpVilOlUIUtJ iVi j
a battle at Mukden, he has com
plained to the emperor that his
plans miscarried largely through
the failure of two generals, whose
names cannot be learned, to exe
cute orders. He throws the
blame upon some of the troops
who failed to respond properly j
at the critical moment.
The war council held at Tsars-!
koe Selo today, at which War!
Minister Sakharoff, Gen. Drago-;
miroff and others were present,
is understood to have decided the
question of continuing the war
in the affirmative.
