FINDING OF SKULLS.
Boston Police Believe to Be Work Of
Medical Students.

Boston, Sept An their search or
the old barn i'm the rear of q COnant
street. RoXbury, yesterday. the police
of Station 10 found a second skull and
several other bones near the place
where the first was found. Nearly ev-
cry portion of the UNDERTOOK section
was gone over carefully i'm hopes of
finding some clue to the mystery, but,
outside of the Erewsome skull found,
yesterday. their search did not result
in anything tangible.
Capt. Hanley said that he believed
the skulls have laid in the place for
fully 10 years and that they might have
been placed there by medical students.
The second skull found was much
smaller than the first, and was pre-
sumably that of woman. DIR. Sted-
man made a partial examination of the
second skull and the bones found, yes
terday. but gave out no report of what
he found out. The fact that one of the
skulls appears to be that of Il male
and the other one that of n female per-
son led many to think that it may have
been a double murder, or, perhaps, a
murder and suicide. in years past.
while others think that it may have
been the result of a roadhouse quarrel.

ALL APPROVE
Of the Release of Alice
Botham, New Bedford,
Who Shot and Killed Father
While AssauIting Mother.
Decision Of the Judge Approved on
All Sides.

New Bedford. Mass, Sept 4.-Mary
Alice Botham, the young woman who
was on trial in this city for shooting
her father, Joseph BOtham. was dis
charged, Saturday morning, by Judge
Milliken in the 3rd district court. The
government had no evidence to offer
beyond that given at the inquest, ard
as no probable cause for holding the
defendant was shown the case was or
dcred placed on file.
Judge Miliken, in his report on the
inquest. found that Miss Botham had no
criminal intent, and was acting ,.nder
apprehension of danger to herself and
mother.
A partial text of the finding is as fol-
lows:
Joseph BOtham was man about 65
years OF age. and lived at 10 Mott
street, in New Bedford He was a man
Of incorporate habits and of quarrel
some and violent temper. On the MORN
ing of Aug. %, he arose about $50 in he
morning, and. although the wife had
prepared breakfast. he left without eat
ing. He returned to the house between
10 and II o'clock in the forenoon, very
ugly mood. and started to quarrel with
his wife. This continued intermittent
ly until after II o'clock. when he at
tackled his wife and threatened her. She
fled from him into another room.
THE daughter, Mary Alice. interfered
in behalf of her mother. and her father
resented it. During the affair he had
thrown the top of an oil stove and broken
a large mirror. He advanced toward his
revolver. She warned him to desist
but he did not. and she discharged the
revolver shooting him in the right side
near the seventh rib. He was shortly af-
ter taken to the ST. Luke's hospital. where
an operation was performed, but he died
early the next morning.
MARY Alice Botham supposed that the
revolver had blank cartridges in the
cha mbers, except two which had ball car
tridges. These she thought were not in
position to be fired She had no intention
of killing her father. only of frightening
him, so as to cause him to desiSt from
further troubling her mother and herself.
Her mother had lived for number of
years in fear and apprehension of her
father. which. upon the evidence, l find
to have beecn well founded.
II find that Joseph Botham came to his
death by being shot by his daughter.
Mary Alice Botham. | further find tina
said Mary Alice Botham had no criminal
intent in so doing. and at the time was
acting under a justifiablc apprehension of
danger to herself and mother

SATURDAYS NEWS.
kuropatkin in Retreat Before kurokTs
Victorious Forces.

The story Of Saturdays war news from
the Far East Is briefly summed up as 1ol-
lows:
Gen. Kuropatkin's army. broken to
pieces by the constant hammerlrg of the
relentless Japanese. is fleeing for life
toward Mukdcn, leaving Gen. Stakelh"rG
Taitsc, surrounded and doomed. The
conditions point to II disaster almost as
conplcte as Waterloo.
Both great bodies of the japanese host
have gained signal victories since kuro-
natkin crossed the river with his main
body. Although the Russian comman der
reported that he had the larger part of his
army safely across the Taltse to block
Gen kurokis thanking movement. the
victor of the Yalu has pounded him back.
and kuropatkin reports t" the car this
numbers it could not he faced longer.
kuroki swept the Russians off the range
of hills dominating tn" Russian battle line
along the Mukdcn railroad, and to escape
utter annihilation the Russian commander
ordered Il general retreat and evacuation
of Liza, YaEg.
Panic, and rout followed this order. The
ruin of his stores and crushing of his
rear guard leaves tn" Russian general in
desperate plight. trying to hold the rem
nant OF his shattered forces together in
the face Of a foe so rapid to move, 50 ter
rible to strike and 50 machinc-llke in pre-
cision as the japanese army.
kuropatkin charges Stak"lhcrE with al
lowing himself to be cut off. 10y arbitrary
construction of orders to retire; but 1t is
reported by the ia pancss,' that Cen. Oku
and Gen. NodZu drov" Stakcibcrg to the
west from Lao Yang. preventing him
from crossing the Tatse.
The Russians had IA squadronS OF cav
airy when the Japanese first attacked
ont side Of Lao Yang, Il strong force to
cover a retreat and harrass the purSucrs.
Up to the present this great mounted
force seems to have effected little: TIL"
Japanese superiority in hors" artillery is
likely to count heavily III the chase.

OKUMA'S WARNING.

Must Be Found.

sounded "A warning. In an interview
he says:
We cannot foretell what sum will be
required to carry the wlr to a success

next year.
The elite. first and second reserves
having been called into the field. we
may have have to raise the territorial

IN such case the war expenditure

may exceed that Of this year by $780,
900 900 or $3.50. 100000. Will the people
be able to bear that heavy burden?
1.-THE additional war taxes, stringent
economy in all departments and the
suspension of the governments civil
works program cannot yield more than
about $50. 100000. The deficit of $780,
OOO. 900 will have to be met by war loans

vide new ones in their place and repair
