THE RUSSIANS LOSING
St. Petersburg Expects Kuropatkin TO
Eyacuate Mukden.
THE LOSSES HAVE BEEN ENORMOUS.
Each Side Estimated To Have Had 10000 Men
Killed or Wounded--Japanese Capture
More Villages 10 Kuropstklu's Second Line
Of Defense and Drive Him to His Stronghold
South Of Mukden.

St. Petersburg (By Cable There is
intense anxiety in official circles here
over the situation in Manchura. 1t is
realized that General Kuropatkin's army
is in a pcrilous position. The Japanese
have been making steady gains since
the six-day battle began.
General Kuroki, according to the lat
est reports given out at the War Office,
is stalled by the Russian left, but the
Russian center is yielding slowly before
the japanese onslaughts.
On Thursday Field Marshal Oyama
shifted the weight to his left, seeking
to envelop the Russian right, eight miles
southwest of Mukden. In the bloody
hand-to-hand fighting which followed
and continued for hours the losses on
both sides were enormous.
The most serious news is the report
that the japanese flanlsing column at
Sinmntin, about 80 miles west of Muk-
den has divided part of it moving
straight east to roll up the Russian right
wing, while the other is making forced
marches north with the evident purpose
of cutting the Russian line OF communi-
cations with Tie Pass and closing the
line of retreat Should the operation
prove successful the Russian Army
might be surrounded.
The Russian correspondent places the
Russian losses at 10000 men and those
of the Japanese at 10000.

ATTACK ON NORMAN CHURCH.
Senator Kearns' yaledlctory Speech In the
Senate.

Washington, D. c (SpeciaD When
the antipolygamy resolution introduced
by Mr.. Dubois was laid before the Sem
ate Tuesday, Mr.. Kearns, of Utah, who
is about TO retire, delivered a prepared
speech in which he reviewed the his
tory of Utah and recited the conditions
under which statehood was granted.
"The pledges given by the people of
Utah." said the Senator, 81 believe con-
sisted of the following propositions:
That the Mormon leaders would live
within the laws pertaining to plural
marriage and the continued plural mar
riage relation, and that they would en-
force this obligation upon all of their
followers, under penalty of disfellow-
ship.
That the leaders OF the Mormon
Church would no longer exercise po-
litcal sway, and that their followers
would be free and would exercise their
freedom in politics, in business and in
social affairs"
Continuing, he said:
Utah secured her statehood by
solemn compact made by the Mormon
leaders in behalf Of themselves and their
people.
THAT compact has been broken will
fully and frequently
mo apostle of the Mormon Church
has publicly protested against that vio-
lation.
81 know the gravity of the utterances
that | have just made. know what
are the probable consequences to my
SELF. But l have pondered long and
earnestly upon this subject, and have
come to the conclusion that duty to
the innocent people of my state and
obligation TO the Senate and the coun-
try require that shall clearly define
my attitude.
"Mr. Kearns said that the question
OF religion is not involved, and he pass
ed from that subject to the social as
pect with brief comment. The social
autocracy, he said, at present is at as
high point as it has ever reached. He
described the surroundings and the pow
ers of President Smith, who, he said,
affects regal state and has established
himself with the dignity of monarch.
In all this social system" said Mr..
Kearns, each apostle has his great part.
He is inseparable from it. He wields
now such part of the power as the
monarch may permit him TO enjoy; and
II is his hope and expectation that he
will outlive those who are seniors in
rank, in order that he may become the
ruler"

wreath and all crowned with graceful
festoons of green and electric bulbs, lift
ed their slender and graceful outlines 80
feet in the air
The military and the civil and the
races over whom the American flag flies
were represented in this parade. The
gorgeousness OF the military uniforms
was eclipsed by the novelty and pictur
esqucness OF the cowboys careless dress
and the Indian in full regalia of his
race. There were the uniformed sol
der the marching organizations with
their distinctive banners and dress, pa
triotc orders of the early Republic, cit
izenS of our enlarged nation--Filipino,
Hawaiian, Porto Rican--and the abo-
rigincs, uncivilized and civilized. whose
ancestral line runs beyond the birth OF
American civilization. The parade rep
resented American progress from the
blanket Indian to this period of expand
ed power One hundred bands filled the
air with music and a thousand gay ban
ners were borne along the line of march.
The ceremony concluded with night
scene OF great splendor The heavens
were illuminated with fireworks, 2oo,ooJ
spectators being assembled at every point
of vantage to view the gorgeous specta-
Gle. Buildings were illuminated along
the avenue and vicinity, and the bril-
liant electrical display, the gay stream
ers and sweeping American flags, now
flowing into the glare of the light, dis
closing their bright colors and now fall
ing back into the shadow, produced
bcwildering effect of color, light and
motion that made the air seem to palpi-
tate with brilliant rainbow tints like the
fiaring magnihcencc of au aurora bore
ais.
The climax of splendor was reached
at the inaugural ball. which the Presi-
dent opened at o'clock. The magnif-
cent ballroom glowed with light, and
the senses were almost overcome with
the odor Of flowers The scene was that
OF tropical garden, to which the Amer
ican tropics and the Southland contribu-
ted the richest of their flora. At the
sound of the bugle's salute to colors the
President entered the ballroom with Mrs.
Roosevelt, followed by the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Fairbanks, the Speaker
of the House and Miss Helen Cannon,
President Pro TEN. Frye and his grand
daughter Miss White, members of the
Cabinet and the Cabinet ladies, Miss
Roosevelt, the military and naval at
taches OF the President and justices OF
the Supreme Court
The 1900 participants in the festiv-
ity the glare of light, the dazzling beau
ty and color of dresses and uniform. the
heavy foliage and the perfume of flow
ers, the rocky grotto fountain in the
center of the hall and the strains of mu-
sic dazzled the sense with their splen-
dor. Here, too, with the more subtle
suggestion, was detected that quality
which distinctly characterized this inaug-
ural among all others.
When this splendid scene faded away
at midnight the most magnificent in
augural of this nation had come to
close Theodore Roosevelt returned to
the White House President in his own
right" to begin term, the power and
responsibilities of which had been por-
trayed in the ceremony of his induction
into office.

Mrs. Highton. wife of Henry E.
Highton the well-known San Francis
co lawyer, says that Mrs. Stanford cried
when telling her OF the attempt which
had been made to poison her in San
Francisco, and that she could not con-
ceive why anyone should try to do so.
During a discussion of sprtuaism Mrs.
Stanford said she believed in spirits and
intended to establish a department at
Stanford University for the nvestiea-
ton of psychic phenomena. Miss Bern
err her secretary, says in regard to the
alleged attempt at poisoning in San

tanning the strychnine was packed in San
Francisco hve weeks ago preparatory to
coming here, and that it remained un-i
touched since then until it was opened
by Mrs. Stanford herself before taking
the dose.
On arriving here from San Francisco
on the steamer Korea Mrs. Stanford
said that she had left San Francisco
unexpectedly and in a great hurry.
There are indications that the police
of this city suspect member of Mrs.
Stanford's household of having placed
strychnine in the bottle of bicarbonate
of soda. of which she took dose before
retiring Tuesday night.

Mrs. Stanford had in her possession
when she arrived in Honolulu jewelry
valued at about $4,000. This was found
apparently intact, and was taken charge
of by Mr.. Hackheld.

in circulation that Miss Bertha Berner,
Mrs. Stanford's secretary, and Miss
