A special From klamath Falls Says
the Weed railroad has been sold. The

company building the much desired
extension.
During the last week in August, as
told in the Bee at the time, General
Manager Calvin and Superintendent
Palmer and Jones and several other
prominent Southern Pacific officials,
made a trip of inspection over the
Weed road to its present terminus,
then went north and crossed over to
klamath Falls.
Work on the extension is now all
most at a standstill owing to the scare
ity of laborers. Advertisements have
been sent to nearly all the larger
cities of the coast calling for more
men. Only few hands are now at
work.

EXAMINING SERVANTS.

San Francisco, Cal, March 7.-Since the arrival of stories from Honolulu which point toward a verification Of the fact that strychnine poisoning caused Mrs. Stanford's death, the po- lice manifest unusual activity and maintain a secrecy that makes it inn possible to learn authoritatively what they are doing.
 William McWhinney. Albert Bevere- ly and Elizabeth Richmond were ques- toned at length in the office of Cap tain of Detectives Burnett this after noon. McWhinney's examination was concluded at the end of an hour, and his testimony is thought to have been of relative unimportance since neither Mountford Wilson, representative of the Stanford estate, nor District At torney ByingtOn were present. The remainder of the afternoon, however was taken\up with Beverely and Miss Richmond. It was half past six o'clock when they were dismissed from the inquisitorial chamber and both looked worn and serious from the ordeal which they underwent.
 Neither Captain Burnett, Chief of Police SpillaHe. Mountford Wilson nor District Attorney Byington would talk of what had taken place during the investigation. Captain Burnett even refused to say whether or not the po- lice had finished their sweating of BeVerely and Miss Richmond From the district attorney it was learned that the making of immediate arrests was not contemplated

mals strew the ground. The troops have been seven days without rest and their powers of resistance are declin- ing. They plainly snow the strain of the terrible week. The ground is deep ly frozen.
 The Japanese continue to flank the Russian position. One Japanese divi- sion is known to have extended to Bell ing. The Japanese maintained a from tai attack Sunday night, having at tackled ShaEhe. Erdagou and Huanki and the extreme east where they are again advancing. The center remains Russian, but on the southwest the Rus sians are falling back on their second position. The army on the right wing is now thrown back on the Russian settlement, converting the settlement into a great metropolis.
 At night long trains of lighted cars are to be seen extending in all direc- uons on improvised railways 60 camps where three days ago there was noth- ing but bare fields. In magnitude the present battle promises to be about equal to the battle of the Shakhe river.

THEY FOUND POISON
Result of the investigation of the
 Stanford Case.

Honolulu, March 7.-When the in quest into the death of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford was resumed this afternoon the first witness called to the stand was R A. Duncan, food commissioner and chemical analyst to the board of health. He testified that three anal yses of the bottle of bi-cahbonate of soda found in Mrs. Stanford's room. had been made.
 He said: 'I made the first analysis alone and in ten grains of bi-carbon- ate of soda, I obtained seven hund- redths of a grain of strychnine The second analysis I made in conjunction with Dr. Edmund Shorey, chemist of the United States agricultural station. In ten grains of bi-carbonate of soda we obtained thirteen hundredth of grain of strychnine. Tn the third anal ysis of the same amount of bi-carbOn- ate of soda we secured fourteen hun dredths of a grain of strychnine- By calculation we estimate that in the bottle were forty-three grams of bi- carbonate soda and that the bottle contained a half grain of stryehnine. The methods of the anlyses used in the last two experiments were the more reliable.
 We examined a portion of the con- tents of the stomach with a negative re- suit for strychnine. We further ex- amined one kidney and some of the contents of the intestines but were un- able separate any poison from the substance, yet We obtained a color re- action, characteristic of strychnine. then combined all the remaining or gans including the liver and found that the test of extraction gave the same results as the intestines, namely a col or reaction indicative of strychnine. The test used is known as the fading purple test and so far as I know it is the most reliable known. The color reaction we obtained is not produced except by strYchnine

A WEEK OF BATTLE.
A Story of the Fighting on Last
 Monday

Mukden, March 6. 6.-CDelayed in transmission.) )-The sixth day of the battle on the Russian right flank ragged with undiminished vigor from dawn till dark. The Japanese made good their position at Tacha and pushed the contest north to Sinmintin, the same as on Saturday. Four miles from the main battle line, though apparently no nearer as was the case in the battle of Liao Yang, the semi circular po- sitions where the battle is progressing them are accessible from Mukden in a days tour.
 The losses already exceed those in the battle of Liao Yang on the Rus sian side and the Japanese are sup posed to have suffered much more though this does not seem to shake the Japanese tenacity, for at noon today they attacked Yenhsitun, advancing their infantry and provoking a counter attack which was first reported to have resulted in the Russian infantry occu- pying Yenhsitun about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the artillery battle in creased furiously, the shells setting fire to many buildings, the smoke from which joining a dust cloud, shrouded the vast plain in, clouds in which the battle roared and the sun sank.

lowing committee to wait on Governor Kibbey and escort him to the cham Der: Messrs. Pickrell and Bailey of the house and Rice of the council. In the meantime the galleries were filled notwithstanding there had been so lit tie time for the announcement of the ceremonies. Nor was there more than standing room on the floor of the house.
 Promptly at four o'clock the gover- nor appeared accompanied by Chief Justice Kent, who was to administer tEe oath, Acting Governor Nichols And several other territorial officials.
 The assembled crowd on the floor and in the galleries stood as the gov nor entered and remained standing un- til he and his companions had taken their seats. The acting governor sat on the left of President Hunt and on his left sat Speaker Webb. The chief justice occupied a seat on the right of the president and on his right sat the governor.
 The mother of the governor, Mrs. Kibbey. Mrs. Joseph Sherburne Jenckes, a daughter of the governor, and MT. and Mrs. Walter B. Kibbey were assigned places near him.
 The cnleI JuSllce produced the com mission and without further ceremony proceeded to the administration of the oath. Having completed that form he presented the commission to the gov ernor and congratulated him on his accession to the office. He added that he had the good will Of the people Of the whole territory and he predicted that his administration would be q wise and just one.
 The chief justice added that per haps no governor of the territory had ever taken his seat with so unanimous an approval by the people
 The governor spoke briefly and feel ingly. He said he was fully apprecia- tive of the good words which had come to him from all parts of the territory since his nomination to office. These

A BOLD, BAD BREAK
That Landed Two Men in Jail on a
 Serious Charge.

Rather an unusual sort of a daylight robbery was executed yesterday after noon in the Palace saloon for which two young alleged yeggmen giving the names of James Atwood and J. L. Collins are now in the custody of the police and will probably be examined today by a justice of the peace on felony charge.
 The men arrested with numerous others were standing around the rou- lette wheel in the Palace when some one reached out toward the coin rack and seized sixty dollars, passing it to, no one seems to know where. John Bodet, proprietor of the saloon and two others saw the incident and allege positively that Atwood is the man that took the money. Another witness says he saw him pass it to Collins. An outcTy WIS mado at once and the num- erous people in the vicinity seized the men and held them till someone tele- phoncd the police station. Marshal Kinney responded at once and found one of the men under the guard of of Joe Bush, a former officer and the other duly guarded by others.
 / He took them to the city jail and they strenuously denied having taken the money. A search of their cloth ing followed and not a cent was found. That is the strangest part of the incl dent and if they are the guilty parties they must have had other accomplices with them to whom the money was

Given by the CounciImen in Honor of
 Governor Kibbey.

The ball given in O'Neiu han last night by the members of the council in honor of Governor Kibbey. was at tended by a large asSemblage of soc5- ety people and was one of the most enjoyable social functions of the sca- son. Nearly all the members os the legislature were present together with their invited friends and the spirit of the hour was entirely that of fes,ivity and mirth. The music was furnished by the Besse orchestra and aside frsm the grand march and lanciers the num- bers were waltzes and twO-steps alter mating.
 The bail was projected some time ago and during the preparations fu- the event came the confirmation of Judge Kibbey. when il was decided to give it in his honor. When his com mission arrived and he took the oath of office yesterday it was immediaJeiy named the inaugural baI~ in honor of the event

The Issue Will Almost Ger
 tdinly Come Today.
0UT0F THf BATTLE SMOKE
Little Definite Information Came Yes- terday. A SuppOsition that KurO-
 patkin Fought Rear Guard Action
 Intending to Withdraw to Tie Pass.

St. Petersburg, March S, 2:15 a. m- That the battle of Mukden will go down in history with Liao Yang in the long list of Russian defeats is the almost universal belief in St Peters burg, which has forgotten the meaning of the word victory.
 The war office does not admit that the issue of the great battle which al ready exceeds in magnitude the oper- ations and losses of the battle of the Shakhe, has been decided, although it is positively stated in high quarters that Kuropatl1in has telegraphed Elm peror Nicholas that it will be impossi- ble to hold Mukden and that the with drawal of the army nOrthward has all ready begun.
 Nothing from General Kuropatkin later than Monday has been given out but advices to St. Petersburg news papers and dispatches to the Associat- ed Press dated 6 o'clock last night in dicate that the position of the Russian army army after a day of furious and unprecedented fighting is desperate but not absolutely hopeless, some of the Russian correspondents even predict ing a Russian victory soon and one affirming that the extreme Japanese left has already begun to retire south ward. Everything probably now de- bends on General Kuropatkins re- serves.
 While the Japanese hurled them selves forward at every point yester- day, their main energies were behind the blow west and southwest in the attempt to envelop the Russian right and drive a wedge through the line at Madyapu. but on the line of his shattered right, northwest to the southwest, to protect the railroad at Mukden and at nightfall it was report ed that he was practically holding all his positions. At the same time he was drawing in and shortening his line to the southeast.
 According to reports all the concen- trated attacks of the Japanese to the westward failed and the efforts of Generals Nogi and Oku to push their encire,ing movements north and east ward across General Kuropatkins line of communication were blocked. Re- ports, however, are conflicting. One correspondent telegraphs of hearing firing toward the northward, toward Tie Pass, which may have been the Cossacks and a flying column of Japa- nese.
 While some correspondents perhaps attach undue importance to several minor Russian successes on the south ern front, which evidently were simply counter attacks and in no sense real offensive movements if Kuropatkin has a plan for striking the real blow upon which in the opinion of experts his salvation depends, there is no indi- cation yet of such purpose. The com mander-i chief has been confning his strategy, as at Liao Yang, to meet the attacks of the Japanese, and not ac- cepting battle at places chosen by Field Marshal Oyama.
 Both sides are terribly exhausted by the ten days continuous fighting and all the correspondents at the front in innate that the issue must be decided definitely today.
