Through Trains Will bo Running in a i Short Time, Making Great 8avlng I In Time on Trip to the Coast. i I I I I Ihe last rail of the Ran Pedro, Los Angeles ft Salt Lake railroad was laid Monday at 4:35 p. m., and Salt Lake SCity Is now connected by rail with Los Angeles and San Pedro harbor. Chief Engineer E. G. Tilton was on the ground, as were Division Engineers Ifoey and Jones, Track Foreman Conway and all the other men who have been notable figures in the construction. As soon as the rail was laid an engine passed over the line, and the road whs thereby opened for through sorvlce, the officials present being on the first engine to cross the sap. It Is a great thing for both cities. Salt Lake Is now only 778 miles from Los Angeles, and all the settlements south of the capital city are that much nearer to the coast. In time the road will be opened for through freight and passenger trains, and In twenty-- j four hours the fast trains can even-- l tually cover the distance between the two places, while the road will be-- j come the natural highway for south- crn California freights, Oriental ship-ments via San Pedro, and much of the transcontinental traffic. It will stimulate travel between the two cities, as the short distance, lower rates of fare and other advantages will make It possible for Salt Lakers to run down to that favored section during the local cold weather and allow the Los Angeles people a chance to escape the heat and come up to Salt Lake for skating, sleighing and other Winter sports. Owing to the fame of the cities It will be the popular tourist route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and with other roads coming to Salt Lake will take Its place as one of the chief links In the transcontinental line. 1 j ; f j . KUROPATKIN i ! j AGAIN DEFEATED. Reactionary Member Haa the Cxar Under His Thumb. Rioting and pillage are in progress in Warsaw, In spite of tbe presence of a large number of troops. British consular officers there are reported to have been assaulted by Hussars, and the matter, it Is said, has been called to the attention of the St. Petersburg government by tbe British embassador. A severe storm at Moscow aided the authorities there in averting disorder which was thought to be Impending. There were no disturbances In SL Petersburg. In Batoum, Prince Gurielly, an officer of the police, was assassinated. The Influence of Grand Duke Sergius, tbe foremost of tbe reactionaries, Is alleged to have governed Emperor Nicholas ever since the strike troubles began, and that member of the family Is reported to be determined oq drastic measures for tbe suppression of all agitation for economic or political reforms. Reports continue rife that the terrorists are prepared to resume their activities. Father Gopon, the leader of the SL Petersburg workmen, Is reported to have escaped to Stockholm. The holy ynod has denounced him aa a criminal priest, a betrayer of his sacred office." SCALDED TO DEATH. Two Men Left In Steam Room and Literally Roasted.

There was a gas Jet In the room, but it was unlighted snd In the darkness the men were unable to find the door. Oyama Frustrates General's Attempts: to Break Through His Lines.

Japanese, Attacked During a Blinding 8nowstorm, Are Forced to Surrender Two Villages. Advices from Szefangtal, sixty versts southwest of Mukden, dated .January 28, state that a battle began at daylight January 25. The right flank of the Russian army, reinforced by troops from the east, began a movement against tbe Japanese left. One corps, leaving Szefangtal at midnight, January 24, marched about seven miles southwest and at daylight attacked. The Infantry, backed up by artillery, drove the Japanese from two villages at midday, after a sharp fight, and continued to make progress, the rest of the right flank becoming engaged. Tbe Russian artillery fire was heavy, but tbe Japanese remained almost si- lent The captured villages presented a warlike appearance, with Japanese and Russian dead lying side by side In the streets. The Russian infantry kept under the cover of the walls and houses to pro tect themselves from the Japanese fare from adjoining villages. CITY DRUG STORE BANKS, Prop. Failure. from General Kuroki'a headquarters says the Russian at tempt to turn the Japanese left has resulted in a complete failure. The Russians chose the worst weather of the season, depending, perhaps, upon their familiarity with a snowy country to aid them In their operations. Their artillery attacks on the Japanese permanent line were. It is thought, a demonstration to prevent the withdrawal of forces for the pur pose of reinforcing the Japanese left. All yesterday afternoon and Into the night an artillery duel was waged across the Shakhe river. There was much heavy rifle firing from positions where the entrenchments are closest RIOTS IN ITALY.

The Russian capital presents almost a normal appearance, and the authorities are confident that the backbone of the strike has been broken. Some factories and mills already have resumed, and a general resumption of operations Is expected on Monday. Tbe authorities expect that the failure of the strike in St. Petersburg will have a discouraging effect upon the workmen In other cities to which troubles have been spreading, and believe that there Is no longer danger of a complete suspension of all the industrial concerns of Russia.
