Japanese Believed to be Striking at the Railway. London, Feb. 27.—Only from the Rus - slap side comes news of the severe fight- ing east of Mukden, which Ime been pro- aeoding for days, and continues The details are meagre. Most of the names mentioned in the • despatches cannot be traced, but the operations seem to be cen- tred on passes in the 'reline, Mountains, the Japanese aiming to envelope the Russian left. The names Titling, Tiling, Tieling occur in the news despatches, but there is no reason to suppose that the Town of Tiding, 30 or 40 mules north of Mukden, is indicated. Judging from the Russian reports, the Japanese have thus far been successful. Gen. Kouro. patkin's brief reference to the casualties at 13eresneff Hill leads to the expecta- tion of a story later of a desperate ana bloody struggle theta. The Japanese capture of Tsinkbotcla ena otherwise Tsinghocheng, seems to be important. It is supposed here that Teinkhetcheng is a village •55 miles south- east of lakdene which marks the june- tiod of several roads, one leading to e"Mukden, another to Liao -Yang, andstilt another connecting Saimase an Fushun. The last-named place is believed to be the centre of the Russian left. It is as. sumed that the Japanese are aiming to occupy the town of Tieling or to cut the railway between that place and Mukden.

Many Visit the Scene of the Tragedy. • Brantford, Feb, 2.—Details o the Oath of afrs. Margaret Monahan, bet- ter kriown as Mrs. Doyle, Doyle being the mane of her first busband, point very strongly to Murder Of the foulest kind. The wonian lived three miles from Burford Village, with her son, Felix Doyle, The son says that early yes- terday morning he heard. moanieg. Httvina, hurriedly dressed, he entered the kitchen, and finding the adjoining 'wood shed door open, passed into the shed. There he found his mother lying on her back, with her head slightly turned, sbowing two gaping Wounds behind tits left . ear. lie dams that lie carried her to her bedroom, and after realizing the condition in which she was, notified the•ueiglibors, It wits at first supposedithat the wo- man had Accidently njured•herself, but the injuries are of such a. character that they' Gould not have been self-inflicted. An iron pot in the wood shed has led to the theory that she had sustained her itijuries lea falling on it. The fact that her skull is fractured and no marks of blood are to be found on the pot dia sipetes this conjecture. An axe sub- sequently found in the shed was smear- ed with blood, also an old cane used by Mrs. Monahan in walking. The room, however, to which Doyle carried his mother bore real evidences of a tragedy. The bed clothes were 'soaked in blood, which was spattered over the floor. It is perhaps significant that there were no Visible traces of blood on the floor of the kitchen through which Doyle must have dragged. his mother to reach . her room, if he reported the circum- stances correctly. There is great mystery attached to the crime, by reason of the fact that the woman was much respected in the neighborhood. The son says that be thinks robbers got into the house, and, having awakened his mother, killed her in order that their identification might not be learned. He had considerable money in the house, and is of the opin- ion that this fact was known to some people. Mrs. Doyle was 84 years of age, and had been twice married. Her marriage to the second husband was not a happy one, and they were separated for some time before las death, a couple of years ago. An inquest was opened at Burford this morning, and after the jury bad viewed the scene of the tragedy an adjournment was made in order to give timo. for a post-mortem examination. A blood- I stained axe in the possession of Dr. Johnston, the coroner. of Burford, may prove -an-important. piece of evidence. Up to 1 o'clock no arrest in connec- tion with the murder of Mrs. Doyle near Burford village had been reported here. It is stated- this afternoon that the son of the deceased, Felix Doyle, would be detained, pending further investiga- tion, and it is supposed that this was done to -night. Brantford, Feb. 26.—There are no new facts in the Doyle murder ease, but de- velopmentsof a most important Amme- ter are promised by the officials. As to when these will occur there is a difference of opinion. It is said in some quarters that an arrest will be made after the in- quest to -morrow night, wbile elsewhere it is contended that there will not be sufficient evidence to warrant such pro- cedure before the end of the week. The salient points of the crime have already. been outlined, and all that now remains is the theory of the ease. In order that this branch of the investigation may be properly handled the load authorities have called in Provincial Detective Greer, who arrived in the eity on Satur- day nigat. . . The detective went to the :scene of the nauder at. an early hour this morning and made a minute inspection of the Doyle house. In addition he had a Icing talk with the son Felix Doyle, who again explained how son, death occurred. A number of the neighbors were also seen in connection with the case. On re- turning to the city to-nigetthe detec- tive expressed the opinion that the crime was a murder, and that Doyle is some- what deranged in his mind. Father than this be would make no „statement, be- yond the fact that the mystery would be solved, and there would be an arrest .th perhaps on Monday, but certainly in the 10 near fature. The story of Doyle, in view of ;Ills p mental condition, isnot credited, and it o is further thought by many people in si this vicinity that the crime was cent- r mitted in the bedroom, and not in the it woodshed, as Doyle claims.

CUT OPEN, BUT OPERATION WAS A SUCCESS, New York, Feb, 27.—"I do not seem to find here the °valence of disease wItieh my diagnosis had led me to expect," said Dr. James R, Goffe. after he had ina,de an incision in the abdomen of it woman during the clinic ite the Now York Poly- clinic Medical ached and Irespital. Dr. Gaffe turned to the attendants and said:. "There acme to be some mistake." There was it iniseake. A wrong wom- an had been submitted to the knife. In- vestigation showed that an attenedent had given chloroform to the wrong wom- an and brought her into the opezatihg room. When the incidon was made Dr. Goffe discovered that certain complica- tions were lacking at the point of inci- sion. Fortunately the woman was suf- fering from intestinal troubles, the same complaint .as the patient who was to be operated upon, and Dr. Goffe quickly continued the operation, but on different lines. The patient is now recovering, so the accidental operation was a success. A VILLAINOUS DEED. WOMAN ASSAULTED AND FLUNG ON REDHOT STOVE.

THE NORTH SEA VERDICT. Commission Decides in Favor of Great Britain's Claims. Paris, Feb. 20.—The report of the in- ternational Commission which investi- gated the action of the Rusian Baltic fleet under Admiral Rojestvensky in firing on the Gamecock trawling fleet ivhile passing through the North Sea on October 22 last, sinking one of the British vessels, killing two men and wounding several others, was made public at 3.30 o'clock yesterday atter- noon. The opinion of the majority of the commission is that there were no tor- pedo boats among the trawlers, and that Admiral Rojestvensky's action in firing upon the fishing fleet was tnere- fore unjustifiable. The Russian com- missioner alone dissented on the point. He declares that in his opinion it was the hostile action of the fishing vessels that caused the firing by the aussiers. The report reviews in detail the evi- dence which was taken at the hearings held here by the counnission and ap- proves the orders issued by ,.ichniral Rojestvensky to Ids officers, previous to the departure of the fleet from .Libau for their guidance in case of attack. The commission finds that the bat- tleship Kniaz Suvaroff, while passing the trawlers, noticed, first a green flare and then the appearance of a suspicious vessel, whichwas taken to be a tor- pedo boat. Adtairsil Rojestvensky the:c- apon gave orders to fire upon this doubt- ful craft. The report continace: "The act of firing on the fishing fleet when no torpedo boats were present was, in the opinion of the maiority of the commission, unjustifistale. The Rue- sian commiseioner dissents from this opinion, and holds that the action of un- known vessels was responsible for what happened. The majority consider that the firing, even accepting the Russian version, -was unduly prolonged. The fishing fleet was in no say guilty of hostile. action." The commissioners, while recognizing that under the circumstances Admiral Rojestvensky had good reason for con- tinuing his voyage, after discovering his error, without stopping to render assistance to the fishermen, express re: gret that he did not, while he was in the English Channel, inform the naval authorities of the neighboring powers that the trawlers needed assistance. The last paragraph of the report points out that it was probably the ar- rival of belated Russian vessels that caused. the squadron to fire, and that the cessatioft of the firing was doubt- less due to the Dimitri Penskei at lest signaling her approach. Filially, the cornmissinoners declare that there was nothing in what occur- red to reflect upon the martial qualities or sentiments of humility of Admiral Rojestvensky and his staff, SURPRISE TO EUROPE. • London, Feb. 26.—The decision of the 'North Sea Commission came as a greet surprise to Europe, especially England, after the apoetyphal reports of the test few days. Great Brit= could not have asked for it more complete endorse- ment of her ease than the report sign. ed by four arbiters, including the repre- sentative of Russia's any, France. The concluding paragraph, in which the 'commission endeavor to gotten the blow, caulies more amusement that Te• sentment by its obVious inconsistence". After condemning the Russian admiral itt all essential points, the report adds in- enuously that they intend no reflection n the humanity of the marauding fleet. Nobody eriticizes this sop to the feel- nge4 of Admiral ltojestveusky by his nether sailors, notwithstanding the tittle vulture of their attempt at diplo- netie phraseology. Tim tewspepers are figuting as to that will be the amount of the bill of he Dogger Bane Commission. a he dela O tioniewbat vague, but iti view of lite Meanie tale on WM& fhb talld Wag prepared, it is ceinpUted that Great Bril tain and Russia will have to find togetla er £80,000 for the expenses of the Paris proceedingalone. The British press welcomes the re- port of the international commission of enquiry into the North Sea affair with almost unqualified satisfaction. Some of the papers think the ileeision does not go far enough in the direction of con- demnation of Vice -Admiral Rojestven- sky and the commander of the transport Kamchatka, but at the same time they hold that it is now possible for Russia, to make ample amends. The Daily Teie- ' graph's editorial article says : "It re- mains for the Czar to act upon the com- missioners' findings. It is difficult to . believe he will dismiss with indifference the conduct of an admiral who so nearly involved his monach and country in an unnecessary war." The Standard thinks, the report leaves the question of the rights of neutral shipping under a amid of perilous uncertainty, and suggests that the whole subject should be care- fully examined when the Hague confer- .' ference reassembles after the war. A Brilliant Scene. The closing session of the commission presented a brilliant scene. The spacious salon of the foreign office was crowded with prominent officials, members of the diplomatic corps, including the Russian, British and American ambassadors, mem- bers of the Japandse legation, officers of the army and navy, judges of the highest French courts and many wives • and other relatives of members of the committee. The admirals forming the commission appeared m ordinary civilian dreAsdsm. iral Fournier, France, the presi- dent, read the decision azhid impressive silence, the spectators following it min- utely. Admiral Fournier closed the tom - mission with a speech of thanks to its members. He said that each of them would return to his country bearing as a recompense for bis labors the legiti- mate satisfaction of duty well accom- plished. They left behind them a pro- found impression of esteem for the devo- tion in which the difficult task had been performed. Admirals' Remarks. A. significant exchange of remarks was made by Sir Edward Fry representing Great Britain, and baron Taube, repre- senting Russia. 13oth spoke in the most amicable spirit and eulogized the abate lion, Sir Edward said: "This is one of the most importaut events ever brought before an international court. All should feel gratified with the satis- factory results attained." Admiral Davis, 'United States, said concerning the decision: "The conclusions seem to ine to be equitable. They are formulated. in a manner to satisfy the legitimate desire of the two parties and mark an epoch in the pacifuc. solution of inteeaational conflicts."
