ALL ARE IN
KurOpatkin Wires: "Last Night He
gan Retreat of All Our Armies"

kuropatkin Wires: Last Night He
gan Retreat of ALI Our Armies"
st. Petersburg, March II, 2:30 a. N.
Last right all our armies COM
menced to retreat"
The greatest defeat in the history
of the Observation-Disclosures var vas made
known in st. Petersburg last night, but
only in the paltry eight words from
Gen. Tluropatkin to Emperor Nicholas,
which was flung about the streets in
newspaper extras and passed from
mouth to mouth. Two thoughts formed
instantly in the minds of every one,
and two words were on every lip-sur-
render-peace-the former dreaded,
the latter hoped for.
Gen. Kuropatkin is no maker OF
phrases; his words never are quoted
like the famous "all is lost save hon
or" but his laconic messages hide
more than probably any other two SEN
fences in the literature of war. St
Petersburg knows nothing of the ex-
tent of the disaster. not ever the
lines of Kuropatkin's retreat; whether
the route to Tie Pass is still open,
whether he is endeavoring to cut his
way through to safety or whether, as
many of the pessimistic believe, he has
taken to the mountains. If it be the
leater, he will inevitably be hemmed
in and starved into surrender, as Mar
shall Bazaine was at Metz.

END OF STANFORD INQUEST
The Jury Says Death Was Due to
Strychnine Poisoning.
The Strychnine Used Was Not Such
as Generally Used for Medicine,
But the COarscr Kind.

Honolulu, March 1.-THE coroner's
jury has returned a verdict that Mrs.
Jane l.. Stanford died an unnatural
death.
The verdict says that
Death was due to strychnine
poisoning, the poison having been
introduced into a bottle of bicar
Donate of soda with ~feIonious in
tent by some person or persons to
the jury
The end of the inquest, with a posi-
tive verdict of murder, leaves the po-
lice of Honolulu as much without q
clew as when Mrs. Stanford died.
High Sheriff Henry said after the in
quest that it was his opinion that the
strychnine was placed in the soda in
San Francisco by a member of Mrs.
Stanford's household.
At the inquest DR.. Shorey testified
that THE STRYCHNINE USED, AS
SHOWN BY THE TESTS, WAS
STRYCHNINE SUCH AS is NOT
USED GENERALLY FOR MEDICI-
NAL PURPOSES, BUT USED PRIN-
CIPALLY FOR POISONING AMI
MAILS.
This statement is regarded as of pos
sible assistance in tracing the pur-
chase of the poison.
The jury returned its verdict after
about two minutes deliberation.
The detectives, who are expected to
arrive from San Francisco on the
steamer Alameda, may be able to take
up the investigation on new lines. The
local police admit that they are at sea.

The !MPUDENT GAMBLERS
They Openly Boast That They Con-
troll the Missouri Senate.
A Shameless Attempt to Browbeat
Gov. Folk Into n ComprOm-
Use With Them.

Jefferson City, Mo-. March 9.-The
racetrack gambling ring is boasting
that it has control of the Missouri SEN
ate.
Not only this, bu. the ring has defied
the governor, and served notice that
unless he yields to the demand for q
compromise racing bill to permit book
making and pool-selling the anti-brib-
cry and other bills which the admins
tration favors will not be passed.
In handing to Gov. Folk a 60-day rae
ing bill, which legalizes gambling just
as it is now legalized by the breeders
law, a member of the senate accom-
panied his explanation of the bill with
this ultimatum:
IF YOU WILL AGREE TO MEET
US HALF WAY WE ARE WILLING
TO MAKE YOUR ANTI-BRIBERY
BILL A LAW. THEY (meaning the
senatorial racetrack clique) TOLD Me
TO SAY TO YOU THAT THEY ARE
DESTROYS OF HAVING THIS RAG
ING BILL ENACTED, and no other
measure which your administration has
advocated will suffer opposition at our
hands"
1t was n challenge to fight, and
GOV. FOLK accepted the gauntlet
thrown down by the racetrack
gamblers.
Quietly but firmly he informed the
senate missionary that under no cir
cumstances would he yield an inch Of
his position in opposition to the race
track gambling statute; that compro-
mise would neither be tolerated nor
considered; that the issue "a squarely
drawn, and the people of Missouri ex-
pected the Legislature to do its duty;
of the legislature did not, and would
not, then his administration could not
consent to an alliance such as that
proposed, regardless of the fate Of
other measures which he desired to
have on the statute books.

MISSOURI WAR ON GAMBLERS
Gov. Folk Promptly Signed the Bill,
Passed Thursday, Repeating
the Breeders Law.

jefferson City, Mo-, March 11.-Gov.
Folk, last evening, signed the bill re-
pealing the breeders law.
The racing situation in Missouri is
now just where it was in 1897, before
the passage of the Breeders law.
The supreme court has held hat bet
ting on horse racing is gambling. The
Johnson anti-gambling law of 1889 ap-
plies to all forms of gambling. 1t
makes betting a felony.
BY a vote of 10 to 10 the senate at
noon decided to make house bill No.
TIC, to prohibit bookmaking and pool
selling, a special order for Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, when it will
be considered for final passage.

TENNESSEE SENATORSHlP.
The Death of Bate opens
the Way for Gov. McMillin TO
Secure the Toga.

Nashville. Tenn, March 10.-The
Tennessee legislature adjourned soon
after it was called to order out of re-
spect to the death of Senator Bate. 1t
was decided during the brief session
to elect a successor to the late senator
on March 81.
Gov. Frazier, former Gov. Robert L.
Taylor and Hon Benton McMillin are
mentioned to succeed Mr.. Bate, bat
the impression prevails that the legis-
lature will decide upon Gov. McMillin.
The governor. who was Gen. Bates
most active opponent during the last
campaign, withdrew in favor of Sen
ator Bate, with the understanding that
should Senator Bate retire he (McMil-
linz would become the candidate.

NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG WOMAN'S HAP
PINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.
Juterfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.

Iuterfered with Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
kno VS. how completely it units n for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like a nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or a band tight
enilig about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, IL of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do tho work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years / was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was d~isordered,
and l became so restless that l could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that | was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which l be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity"
ga very simple thing the call of a
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to tryD DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. L acted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and TO give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

day, March Fl.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March AT a
caucus of the republican members OF
the house, Wednesday, it was decided
to fix the date of the sine die adjourn
ment of the legislature for Tuesday.
March 81. During the session of the
house the democrats attempted to fix
the date for March 16. but the resolu-
ton was tabled by the republicans. 1t

The years between 20 and 40-and
sometimes far longer-are to the man
of solid ability a time for preparation.
He makes his mistakes and achieves
his failures, and by doing SO learns
what to avoid; he loses his illusions
and the cynicism that follows the los
ing, and learns to judge things as they
are, not as he expects them to be; he
learns to gauge the limitations, not
only of other men, but Of himself as
well; finally, he comes to the knowl-
edge of his own powers and learns how
to use them.

Toxic, March 11.-Mukden was cap
tired by the Japanese troops at 10 a
m. Friday. Fushun, a strategic point
on the railroad north of Mukden and
between the city and Tie Pass, Kuro-
patkin's objective, is in the hands of
the Japanese.
These facts were officially announced
last night by the war office, together
with the following dispatch from Field
Marshal Oyama:
I'VE occupied Mukden at ten Friday
morning, marching into the ancient
city with bands playing and banners
flying.
I'VE captured a great number Of
prisoners, enormous quantities of arms,
ammunition and other war supplies.
"Fushun is ours, and between that
point and a point north of the city the
bloodiest battle of the wal is rag
ing"
A later dispatch from the front is to
the effect hat the bloodiest conflict of
the campaign is now being fought to
the north of Mukden, where the Jap
anese army appears to have beaten
down the Russian real guard and to
be engaging the main column of the
fleeing M~uscovites.
The engagement is taking place in
the hill country, with troops of both
armies fighting in the open.
If the Japanese are successful it
means the capture or humiliation of
the entire Russian army in Manchuria.

confidently Gen. KurOpatkin ana
his lieutenants could. prevent the
advance of the Japanese beyond the

wards Tie pass, around which are
high hills which were prepared for
defense after the battle of Lao
Yang in September, there being no
hope at that time that the Japnnese
would allow the defeated army to
rest south of the Tie pass. That the

large quantities of ammunition
