The fate of (general Kouropatkin and his army hangs in the balance, depending on the tesiilt of the fighting almost in the outskirts of Mukden.

According to latest reports the fighting went well for the Russians, who beat back the wave that threatened to roll over Mukden as it had over the fortifications of Port Arthur. But nothing is known as to what is going on beyond the line ot breakers, whether part of Gen. N'ogis force is in full career for Tie Pass or whether the Japanese have staked all in a cast against Mukden. Kouropatkin's line of communication has not been touched though it is In extreme jeopardy. His right flank is bent so sharply backward that it may necessitate the abandonment of the Poutiloff and Novgorod hills, tc which the Russians are still dinging firmly.

Commissioner James R. Garfield of the bureau of corporations has instituted a rigid investigation of the operations of the oil industry in Kansas and contiguous states. In response to a resolution of the house of representatives introduced by Representative Campbell of Kansas, the investigation of the oil Industry will be carried on as rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness. The report of Commissioner Garfield will be made directly to President Roosevelt. Whether it will be made public will lie within the disci etion of the chief executive.

Depending on the facts developed, it may be turned over to the department of justice for such action as the attorney general may deem proper. Commissioner Garfield said that nothing would be left undone by his bureau to develop the facts regarding the operations of the oil trust in Kansas, as well as in other states. Thorough Investigation. It Is not the purpose of Commissioner Garfield to confine the inquiry to Kansas. It wid not be circumscribed by state or geographical lines.

It is the intention of the commissioner to make the investigation as exhaustive as the resolution of Representative Campbell contemplates, the purpose being to develop all the facts regarding the operations of the oil trust. "During the past year, said Commissioner Garfield, a great amount of general information relating to the oil trust has been obtained. This affords a basis from which to undertake immediate specific inquiries into the conditions existing in specific fields, such as Kansas, Texas and California. The method of procedure, said Commissioner Garfield, will be similar to those followed in the inquiry into the operations of the alleged beef trust. The commissioner of corporations, personally and through special agents, will obtain information from original sources.

Already these sources of Information have been sounded. They have responded to the commissioner of corporations by agreeing to furnish information, to afford the fullest opportunity for inspection of records and accounts and to answer all questions pertinent to all matters involved in the inquiry. It is the intention of Commissioner Garfield under direction of President Roosevelt to make the Inquiry into the operations of the oil trust as com' piehensive and exhaustive as possible. Nothing will be left undone that will develop a single fact relating to the work of the trust and if it lias been unjust in discrimination against the producers of oil in Kansas or in any ether state the Inquiry will show it. Not a Common Carrier.

It is pointed, out that the oil trust, through its pipe lines, is not a common carrier, under the law, and it cannot, be compelled to carry oil from any given field unless (he producers accede to its terms. The oil trust maintains that it has conducted Its business not only in accordance with the law, but in perfect regard to rec-cgnized business principles, and that, therefore. It is perfectly willing 1o have the government make as rigid an inquiry as it may desire into its methods of doing business. It the p-pose of Commissioner frarfleld to make the investigation as thorough as possible. He personally y.

Ill go to Kansas and perhaps to other oil fields In the conduct of the inquiry, which, as heretofore indicated, is not to be confined to a specific field. Every ramification of the inquiry will be followed, whether it lead across state lines or not. It may lead from Kansas to Texas, from Texas to California, but wherever it may lead it will be'followed in an earnest endeavor to ascertain all the facts regarding the operations of the alleged oil trust.

The imminence of the peril on the west wing has withdrawn attention from the operations on the center, where the fighting has been extremely heavy, and on the left especially, where the Japanese gains are sufficiently great to cause apprehension to themselves.

Japs in Critical Position. Military critics here point out that the Japanese have put themselves in a critical position by the extreme extension of their lines, laying themselves open as they did at Liao Yang to the possibility of a most effective counter stroke and probable deefat if Kouropatkin should be able to launch a column against a weak link in the chain.
