The Table Cover.

Coverings for circular tables have a
central pattern which is the shape and
size of the table top, and a circular
border of the same design falls e
the edges. The regulation tablecloth,
however, plays little part these days
in the dressing of the festive board,
except on formal occasions. Break
fast and luncheon cloths, centrepieces
and 'doilies are much more convenient
for ordinary use. They are also less
troublesome to launder.

THE OUSIING OF ADAMS
Only Tentatively Recommended by
 Colorado Contest Committee.

Denver, March Reconsideration of the reports of the committee which heard the evidence in James H. Pea body's contest for the office of gov ernor was postponed today by a joint convention of the general assembly in consequence of the death of former Senator Welcott. The general assem- bly appointed a committee to draft resolutions in memory of the late sen ator and adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow forenoon.
 Four reports were filed with the lieu tenant governor by the gubernatorial contest committee to be presented to- day to the joint convention of the gen. eral assembly which will decide after hearing the argument whether or not Governor Ava Adams shall surrender his office to former Governor Peabody, who contested the election.
 Fourteen members of the commit tee, a majority of one finally signed a report in favor of busting Adams and seating Peabody, which was prepared by counsel for Peabody, but six of these committeeman declared that they reserved the right to vote as they saw fit after the arguments in the joint convention. They said that they sign ed the report merely to get the mat ter before the assembly. At the final meeting of the committee yesterday afternoon for the consideration of the contest the Peabody report was signed by thirteen members. One of these, Representative c. E. Dungan of Mont rose county, subsequently, withdrew his signature, notifying Chairman Grif- fifth by letter that he had signed through a misunderstanding.
 Two other republican members of the committee. Senator Morton Alex ander of Jefferson county, and Repre- sentative Alfred Stewart of Douglas county, who refused to sign the report at the meeting yesterday. changed their minds during the night and their signatures were attached to the majority report when it was presented today. The nine democratic members made a report recommending the dis missal of the Peabody contest because no case had been made by the evil dence.
 The fourth reply, which may prove to be most important, was prepared by Wm. H. Griffith of Cripple Creek, chairman of the committee, and bears in addition to his signature those of Representative J. A. Mcintyre of Den yer. C. E. Dungan of Montrose and J. B. Thompson of Boulder, all of them republicans. This report affirms that Adams plurality is 3,S19. after having decided all questions in favor of the contestant"

THE STANFORD POISONING

 Hundreds.

San Francisco. March 2-The re- ceipt today by Acting Chief of Police John Spillane of a cablegram from High Sheriff Henry of Honolulu stat ing that there were no less than 662 grains of strychnine in the bottle of bi-carbonate of soda that Mrs. Jane L.. Stanford took a dose of shortly before her death has aroused the detective force of this city and every effort is being made to discover who placed poison in the harmless medicine. The police believe that the bi-carbonate of soda and the strychnine were pHrchas- ed here and the latter secretly dropped into the bottle by a person connected with the Stanford household. The bot tie containing the bi-carbonate of soda and its death potion originally were purchased in Australia, but according to Miss Bertha Berner, Mrs. Stan

 Dr. w. G. Stevens, a medical expert today made this positive statement: "Six hundred and sixty-two grains of strychnine easily would kill 662 per- sons. The maximum dose administer ed is only one fifteenth of grain while the average is one-fortieth of a grain.
 Louis Falkenau, who made an ana lysis of the mineral water drunk by Mrs. Stanford last January and which was poisoned with strychnine said to- day: "Strychnine and bi-carbonate of soda cannot be detected easily. The soda has a crystalline appearance and looks something like strychnine. It would require an expert to detect the presence of strychnine, but it could be done very readily

INAUGURAL CROWDS
Washington Already Filling

The Chief Concern Now Is the Weather. The Perplexity of the Forecaster.

Washington, March 2-Thirty-six hours before the time set for the inau- guration ceremonies to begin finds thousands of visitors in Washington ready to do honor to President Roose- welt and Vice President Fairbanks. They have been pouring into the city all day and evening. Quite a number of organized bodies of civilians already have arrived. and others are looked for on late trains tonight. A great ma jority, however, both of individuals and organizations will reach the city tomorrow.

 But the most interesting question at present is the weather for Saturday. As to this there appears to be just a slight tinge of uncertainty. This is the opinion of FQrecaster Frankenfeld at the weather bureau tonight, who says there are four or five barometric de- pressions scattered over the country, the strongest of which is located at the extreme northwest.
 On this latter depends, he says, the weather in Washington for inaugura- ton day. If this depression moves directly eastward the weather in Washington should be pleasant, with possibly some clouds and a substantial rise in the temperature. If, however, it should move rapidly in a southeast erly direction, it would make condi tions in Washington threatening and the weather uncertain. MT. Franken- field says he is inclined to believe that the disturbance will move eastward over the extreme northern part of the country and give day free from rain. For tomorrow, he adds, there is noth- ing that would indicate anything but good weather.

Fir. Bark Bids His Sheep Bill an Af- fectionate Farewell - Fir. Bailey's Naturalization Measure.

The council yesterday sustained it's lately acquired reputation for activity by the introduction of several bills and the passage of some which have been before that house for a long time. Among the bills which were disposed of by passage was the measure of MT. Roemer's to take the management of the territorial industrial school out of the hands of the board of trustees and invest it in the board of control. MT. Perrys bill prohibiting persons not qualified from wearing the insig- mia of secret societies was also passed. Another of the bills got ready for ac- tion by the house was council bill No. 2S making provision for working con- victs on the public highways. A mes sage was received from Acting Cover nor Nichols informing the council that he had signed the bill requiring that district attorneys must be lawyers
 The fate of the houses anti-punch- out bill which was foreshadowed on it's introduction into the council the day before, was practically settled yes terday by reference of the measure to the committee on mines and mining. That is not an unnatural repository
 
 and well founded belief that the mem- bers of the committee are hostile tG it.

 MT.

Ruiz the representative of one of the big sheep counties is a member MT. Bark moved that the bill be recalled from the committee. The motion was de- feated by vote of seven to five whereupon MT. Bark said that his worst fears were realized. What had been perplexing anxiety had gradu- ally grown into a gnawing apprehen- sion and had now developed into a dreadful certainty. That the bill was to be smothered he felt sure. He would, however commend it to the tender mercies of Chairman Rice of the committee. MT. Ruiz desired to assure MT. Bark that his fears were at all times groundless and that even now he need not despair. The committee had no purpose of suffocating the bill which would be reported at the prop CT time. This was said with a sar- donic smile.
 The council adjourned until the us- ual time today when it is understood an adjournment will be taken to next Monday.

The strike at Moscow has been resumed on a large scale, anarchy reigns in the Caucasus and at St Petersburg the measures which the government ad- vanced to quiet discontent and restore good relations between masters and men have failed, with a probability of causing the storm to break anew.
 Labor delegates representing the whole of the industrial portion of St. Petersburg, and who were elected to choose fifty members of the Schid- lovski reconciliation commission met again yesterday and re-affirmed a re- solution adopted the previous day, which threatened, in case the demands are not granted, not only to refuse to elect labor representatives to the com mission, but to order the resumption of a general strike.
 These demands are for the release of imprisoned workmen; freedom from arrest. unhampered speech. full publi- city of meetings of commission and the abolition of the censorship. practi- cal ultimatum was delivered calling for an answer today. There is little ex- pectation that the government will grant the conditions demanded.

The strike has not yet extended to the trainmen, but the leaders may decide to order them out in order to paralyze one of the most important railroads in Russia.
