Pleasant Christmas at State House.

Mrs. K. L. st. Cyr celebrated
Christmas by inviting few of her
friends to the State House to spend
the day. Mrs. St. Cyr is without
exception the finest cook in this
part of the country and her table
always ELECTS praise from those
fortunate enough to eat at this
famous lakeside resort, so it is
needless to attempt to describe the
good things provided for this, the
choice feast of the year. AS dec
crater Mrs. st. Cyr is an artist.
The office was tastefully decorated
with evergreens, a beautiful design
over the dining room door bearing
the glad invitation "Welcome,".
while cheerful yule-log fire in
the large open fireplace gave en-
phasis to the invitation.
The dining room was indeed
pleasing sight, being decorated all
over with evergreens and notices
formed with fir leaves, one of them
reading "a Merry Christmas" be-
ing very fine piece of work. A
large national flag covered one end
of the room.
Dinner commenced about 2 o. m.
the dining room being darkened
and light furnished by three large
gilt candelabra, each holding about
dozen colored wax candles. This
was done especially for the chill
dren and produced a splendid eff
feet on the richly-laden table with
its pyramids of fruits, cakes, pies,
sweetmeats, jellies, etc. The din
ner was enlivened by the rich fund
of Jokes and ready repartee of Mr..
B. S. White, the Meadows timber
man, who with Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
B. Snyder kept the little party full
of mirth.
Those present besides the hostess
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. B. Snv-

Russian Troops Flee
Northward
More a Slaughter Than
a Battle
Vast Loss of Stores and
Guns
Good Roads Favor the Retreat, but
Kamamurs's Forces May Very
Probably Block the Last
LoophoIe Of Escape

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Mukden fell. thousands of prisoners
and enormous quantities Of stores and
arms being captured by the Japanese.
Yesterday General Kuropatkin sent
the following dispatch to the czar:
Last night began the retreat of ell
our armies. During the night there
was no fighting but a heavy cannon-
ade." He subsequently sent another
dispatch: IT am surrounded"
Telegraph and railway communica-
tion with Mukden was finally suspend
ed on Thursday last and it is presumed
that the above dispatches are sent by
messenger to Tie Ling.
The fate of the Russian army of
upwards of a quarter of million men,.
and the two thousand pieces of artil-
lery with which 1t was expected con-.
fidently General Kuropatkin and his
lieutenants could prevent the advance
of the Japanese beyond the Shakhe
and Hun rivers positions is still in the
balance. They have been driven from
those positions and now are rushing
northward toward Tie pass, around
which are high hills, prepared for de-
fense after the battle of Lao Yang in
September, there being no hope at that
time that the Japanese would allow
the defeated army to rest south. Of
the pass.
| That the Russians have lost many
men and vast quantities of ammunition
and supplies is certain for, with only
single track railway to the north,
it would be impossible to remove the
large stores which had been gathered
together at Mukden. These, it seems
| certain, have been destroyed. The
Japanese have not yet reported the
capture of munitions, which they gem
orally do almost Immediately, but it
seems hardly likely that Kuropatkin
could have removed all Of his artillery.
On the 1st of January, according to
correspondents who have just returned
from Mukden, the Russians had in po-
stion along the Shakhe and the Hun
rivers 1900 guns, including a number
Of and inch guns on cement founda-
tions straddling the railway just north
of Shakhe station. In addition, many
guns arrived In Mukden during jan
uary and February. so that the Rus
sian artillery, when the big battle
started, must have numbered nearly
1000 pieces. 1t is likely that Kuropatkin
has sacrificed some of these and Is
bending all his energies to extricating
his army. That his task is difficult

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, March 10.-"oyama is a

opinion is that the Japanese infantry

This is the outspoken judgment OF
Colonel Gaedke, the most competent
and most prominent military expert in
Berlin, as expressed today.
Gaedke went through last years Man
churian campaigns with the Russians
He added: "Gen. Kuropatkin's posi-
ton is dangerous in the extreme. It
is likely Harbin will be the Russians

BROTHER NOT IMPLICATED
Mrs. o'Brien Declares Relatives Are
BameIess

''I am positive that my brother had
no connection whatever with my
mothers DEATH" said Mrs. O'Brien yes
terday; 1 have known where the boy
is for some time and have believed
the case at all. l do not think that
he Is in any way connected with those
who brought about my poor mothers
DEATH
When asked il she believes that DR..
Roumaine communicated with the per-
petrators of the plot Mrs. O'Brien de-
clared that the idea is altogether out
of the question. She said:
''I refuse to say anything about him
in any way. know that he had moth
ing to do with it and 1 have sufficient
reason for being sure of this.
1T will not talk about DR.. Roumaine.
] will not give a description of him to
any one and will not say whether or
not l am acquainted with his where
abouts.
1--WE have been in consultation with
Attorney George P. Adams this after
noon and have decided to give a liberal
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the murderers. Just what the terms
will be 1 will not state at the present
ope but the person who deserves it
shall receive the reward"
Mrs. O'Brien had further consulta-
ton with Mr.. Hamilton yesterday, but
nothing new was brought to light
1--WE have discovered no new clew,
but hope that the next few days will
bring to light something which may
have an important bearing on the case.
1--WE are positive that the motive was
robbery, and with this established.
there is at least one point from which
to work. We will not spare any eff
forts to trace every feasible clew to
the bottom, and if l thought that DR..
Roumaine had a hand in it, I would
not hesitate to say So"
According to Chief of Police Ham
mel. who has personal charge of the
Investigation into the Milburn murder
mystery, in so far as the local police
are concerned, DR.. G. Roumaine, the
divorced husband of Mrs Milburn' s
daughter, Mrs. OBrien, for whom the
two eastern relatives of the deceased
are searching, is now in San Fran
cisco.
Chief Hammel says he has not settled
upon any definite clew. The mystery,
he AYERS. is continually growing deeper,
and 1t is very doubtful if solution
will ever be reached.
The authorities no longer cling to
the suicide theory, as all the facts in
the case point to most brutal murder.
IT is from that standpoint that the
detectives are working.

RELUCTANT To
BELIEVE MURDER
STANFORD ATTORNEY DOUBTS
CRIME WAS DONE
NOBODY is. YET SUSPECTED
Mountford Wilson Declares That He
Is Not Prepared to Accept the.
Verdict Of coroner's
Jury as Final
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.--Mount-
ford Wilson, legal representative of the
Stanford estate, In an interview with
the Associated Press, has authorized
the following:
Although the coroners jury at
Honolulu concluded that Mrs. STAN
ford was the victim of a murderer, we
are as yet unprepared to accept this
judgment as final. l do not know as
yet, nor do the police or detectives in
vestigatlng the case, but that Mrs.
Stanford died from natural causes. we
have the opinion of half dozen ply
sicians to the effect that the symptoms
attendant just previous to the death
she died of angina pectoris, disease
of the heart, causing the most acute
agony. This, however, has in no way
influenced us in the lines of investiga-
tion pursued in the hopes Of solving
the mystery.
I'm this we first proceeded on the
theory that Mrs. Stanford was the
victim of a criminal. With great de-
liberation and thoroughness we took
up this line of reasoning, questioning
and requestioning every person who
had relations, remote or intimate, with
Mrs. Stanford for the last few mouths
preceding her death, but thus far we
have cleaned absolutely nothing which
would justify us in making an arrest.
We then took up the proposition that
Mrs. Stanford was accidentally pois-
oned, but this proved untenabIe. The
suggestion that Mrs. Stanford's death
might have been the result of drug
clerks mistake failed to Justify itself
after research. Lastly we worked
along the line that perhaps some one
without the household who had a
grievance against Mrs. Stanford might
minister fatal dose, but, like all of
the preceding speculations, it ended in
nothing.
Neither Miss Berner nor Miss Hunt
are under arrest in Honolulu nor will
they be escorted back to this country
ny tHe ueltCllNeS. lney Will cOlilc DIS
freely as any of the other passengers.
Both will probably return on the
steamer Alameda, upon which the re-
mains will be shipped and which is
due here about March goth. They
undoubtedly will be subjected to a
rigid quizzing here, just as the other
members of the household have been.
I'VE want to see all of the documen-
tary evidence adduced in Honolulu be-
fore we proceed to do definite things
here and these will arrive by the Ala
media. We are no nearer solution
to the mystery now than we were on
the day of her DEATH"

BIG REBATE FOR

GOVERNMENT MUST PAY BACK
S5,000,OO0
CIRCUIT COURTS DECISION
Sum Represents the Duties Paid on
Sugar Imported From Cuba, on
Which Twenty Per Cent
Reduction is Claimed
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 10-Judge
Wheeler in the United States circuit
court. today handed down an opinion
which, II finally sustained, will cost
the United States government five mil
lion dollars. This money the govern
ment will have to refund to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company for duties
paid on raw sugars imported from
Cuba in 1908 and upon which the com
pany contended that reduction of 20
per cent should have been allowed
under the then existing treaty.
The facts showed that the president
was authorized by congress to grant a
reduction of 20 per cent upon all mer-
chandise imported from Cuba to the
United States ON and after ten days
subsequent to the ratification by this
government of the Cuban convention
or treaty
This ratification occurred on March
81 1904. The importation upon which
the test suit was brought was import
ed between July IA and September .,
1903. The collector at that time as
sessed the sugar, demanding the full
duties, there existing at that time no
law under which az reduction could
have been granted. Subsequently the
convention was ratified and the Ameri-
can Sugar company appealed to the
general board of appraisers, which sus-
IN inc N 10
United States circuit court followed.

DECLARE SON IS
NOT IMPLICATED
DAUGHTER OF MRS. MILBURN
SAYS MOORE IS INNOCENT
DROP sPIRITUALISTIc THEORY
Police Confident That Mediums Had
Nothing to Do With Mysterious
Death of Wealthy Real
Estate Dealer

Was Kent Moore, alias Charles MUIR
ray, only son of Mrs. N. j. Milburn,
who is now serving term i'm Folsom
prison, In any wise implicated with
the murder, which has developed to be
one of the most mysterious of it's kind
that has ever come to light in this
part of the country?
Mrs. O'Brien, daughter of the mur-
dered woman, scouts the idea, but rela-
tives in the east still have suspicious.
1t is known that there has been a
number of dips" or criminals, as
they are called, infesting the seaside
resorts of Southern California recent
ly, and the authorities are not alto
gether satisfied in their own minds
that the murder of Mrs. Milburn was
not planned at Folsom.
There is no foundation for the theory,
say the officers, that Mrs. Milburn was
lured to her death by spiritualistic
medium.
There was nothing in yesterdays in
vestigation of the case that would
tend to throw any new light on the
mystery, ana tne SolutlOIl OF the WHOle
affair remains as much in the dark as
ever.
The county and city authorities con-
tinue to prosecute a most thorough in
vestigation, but so far their efforts
have proved of little avail.
All agree that Mrs. Milburn was
murdered for her money. They cam
not conceive of any other motive.
AS suggested by DR.. McIvor-Tyndall,
the psychologist, the murder was un-
doubtedly committed, according to the
view taken by the authorities, by per-
sons who were familiar with Mrs. Mil
burns financial condition.
The question now u.s. say the officers:
'"Who are these persons?"

JORDAN REACHES HONOLULU
Accompanied by Timothy J. Hopkins
and Two Detectives

By Associated Press
HONOLULU, March 1O.-Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford, jr., university; Timothy j.
Hopkins, member of the board of trus-
tees Captain Jules Callunden, repre-
sentlng a detective agency of San
Francisco, and Detective Harry Rey-
nolds of the San Francisco police de-
partment arrived here today on the
Oceanic Steamship companys steamer
Alameda
DR.. Jordan and Mr. Hopkins said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that they had come to show
proper respect to the memory of Mrs.
Stanford and to escort to San Fran
cisco the remains of the woman with
whom they had worked for many years
in the great project Of the university
founded by her and her late husband,
Senator Leland Stanford.
DR.. Jordan said that all the way to
Honolulu he hoped he would find on ar
irving that the death of the great bene-
factress was due to natural causes.
Mrs. Stanford in conversations with
him, he said, made little reference to
the attempted poisoning at the Stan
ford mansion in San Francisco on jan
uary IA, and did not appear to think
very much of it.
DR.. Jordan and Mr.. Hopkins both
said they had nothing whatever to do
with the investigations which the police
of San Francisco and Honolulu are
conducting.
Detectives Callunden and Reynolds
are consulting with High Sheriff Will
lam Henry, and will later see Miss
Berner and Miss Hunt secretary and
maid respectively to Mrs. Stanford.
The verdict of the coroner's jury to
the effect that the death of Mrs. Stan
ford was due to strychnine poisoning
Is the subject of much adverse criti-
cism here. Many persons declare that
evidence was lacking to sustain this
conclusion of the jury as to a felonious
intent. The verdict was written out
with the advice and assistance of Dep
uty High Sheriff Rawlins. and the jur-
ors, who took less than two minutes
to arrive at the verdict, Immediately
signed their names.
