SPOILS RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS
FALL OF PORT ARTHUR TAKES
ALL THE HEART OUT OF
j.: FESTIVITIES.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The fall of
Port Arthur has taken all the heart
out of the approaching festivities of
the Russian Christmas 1t is even pro-
posed to dispense with the illumina-
tions which are always features of the
holidays. The churches are filled with
mourning friends and relatives of the
fallen heroes of the fortress.
The zemstvos and town councils of
many cities, including St. Petersburg,
have adjourned as testimony of their
grief as result Of the public calam-
ity and subscriptions have already
been started to erect a monument to
General Kondratenko, who was killed
at Port Arthur Dec. Is.
But the unmistakeable grief of the
people Is also accompanied by unde-
niable mutterings against the gov
ernment. The papers are openly blam-
ing the military censorship for keep
ing the public in the dark as to the
true situation of the fortress and al
lowing the surrender to come as a
surprise. They are using this as a
text to show the necessity for taking
the people into the governments conf
dence and are continuing their at
tacks on the bureaucracy, whose
bloodless lirs reCeat the same ol1 &c

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-General
Stoessel's last dispatch, dated Jan. l.,
prior to the surrender Of Port Arthur,
details the Japanese attack of Dec. 81
and concludes as follows:
1--WE shall be obliged to capitulate,
but everything in is the hands of God.
We have suffered fearful losses.
Great sovereign, pardon us. We
have done everything humanity posi-.
BILE. Judge us, but be merciful. Nearly
eleven months Of uninterrupted strug-

quarter of the garrison is alive and of
this number the majority are sick
and, being obliged to act on the de-
fensive without even short intervals of
repose, we are worn to shadows"

LIFE OF THEODORE THOMAS.
Brief Sketch of World Famous Or
chestra Leader.

Theodore Thomas, who was the son
Of an expert vioIinist, was born at
Eseus, hanover, Germany, Oct. II,
1885. In 1S45 his parents brought him
to the United States, settling IN New
York city.
The real beginning Of Mr.. Thomas
musical career was through a series
of chamber concerts at New York
during the years intervening between
1857 and 1872. In 1864 Mr.. Thomas
first symphony concerts were given at
New York and these were continued
until he left that city in 1878 to take
charge of the College Of Music at Gin
cinnati.
Returning to New York he was
elected conductor of the New York
Philharmonic society in 1879 and this
position he held until he left New
York in 1891. In 1883 Mr.. Thomas
and his orchestra made tour from
New York to San Francisco, appearing

On his return to New York MI.
Thomas conceived the idea OF per-
manent orchestra in that city, but
after seven years of endeavor he came
to the conclusion that Chicago would
be better place for his future work.
He removed there in 1891 and formed
the Chicago Orchestra association. On

Farmer Murdered.

his head lying in a pool of blood which
had oozed from a bullet hole in his
temple, the body of Edmund Gresser,
a wealthy bachelor farmer, was found
upon the floor of his home, south of
Des Moines, this afternoon. By his
side were the newspaper he mad been
reading and the pipe he was smoking
when assassins did their work.
Shots were heard at midnight by
some of the farm neighbors but little
attention was paid to the matter.
Gresser was 80 years old and sup
posed to be worth $4,000. Robbery is
supposed to be the motive for the
crime. No clew has yet been dis
covered.

TORTURE AND KILL SCORES.
Tales of Cruelty Come From Mexico
Nav AppeaI to United States.

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. thinning
men from Nogales, Ariz., confirm re-
ports of a fresh outbreak among the
supposedly "pacified" Yaqui Indians of
Sonore, Mexico. Not less than fifty
men have been murdered, within the
past week, these men say, while there
have been scores who have been tort
ured and mutilated, but permitted to
escape with their lives.
The tales told are Of Undesirable
cruelty. Ell Core de Sonora, one of
the most conservative and reliable OF
Spanish publications in the state OF
Sonora, declares conditions are insult
ferable and boldly criticizes the Mex
lean government, declaring that feder-
al troops are incapable of dealing with
the outbreak. The inroads are upon
districts where American capitalists
nave heavily invested, and there is
such a high feeling among Americans
that an appeal to the United States
government may, be imperative.
One band of marauders ventured 10
the suburbs of the city of Hermosillo.
Near Opedpe rapchero was cruelty
tortured. At Ell Copel, a band of
eighteen Indians attacked a wagon
train and tortured the men. These
are only a few incidents cited by ar
rivals today from mining districts.
The murders are varied in character,
victims having been robbed and hanged
to trees, shot to pieces, beaten, torn
and mutilated.

The Love of Paris.

Charlmagne Tower, the American
ambassador to Germany, spoke of the
Americans love for Paris at a dinner
he gave in Philadelphia.
Our love for Paris is no doubt
great" he said, but l am sure it is
not SO great as our European cous-
ms would have US believe. We all,
of course, have heard the European
saying, when a goo1 American dies
ne goes to Paris In Berlin, from a
nigh French diplomat, l heard that
wear a novel variant of this. The di-
plomat said he was sure 1 would
sympatnize with the profound and in
genious emotion of young American
girl he said. who lived in bleak, wes-
ern city. There were in those days
no institutes for the treatment of rab
les save in Paris. The young girls
life was very monotonous. One day
she burst into a neighbours house, al
most beside herself with joyous ex-
citement.
"Her dark eyes flashed. Her
cheeks had delicate rose flush.
Painting a little, she cried in a tremu-
lous voice:
THANK goodness, we are going to
Paris at last. DAD mas been bitten by
a mad dog!'"

DETECTIVES
KEEP THREE
UNDER WATCH
Still Imprisone
in Stanford
Mansion.

With the seeming certainty of the
shadow on a dial circumstances are
slowly rounding to a point where the
police believe they will soon be able to
reveal to the world the identity Of the
person or persons guilty Of the coward
ly murder Of Mrs. Jane Stanford.
Although 1t Is known that Acting
Chief of Police Spillane. Captain OF
Detectives Burnett and Captain Cal
lundan of Morse's Detective Agency,
who are harmoniously directing the in
vestigation of the mysterious case, are
united in their suspicious, and would
not hesitate long In making arrests, it
was learned yesterday that they agreed
at a conference to defer action In that
direction until the return Of detectives
from Honolulu, whittier they go to-day
on the steamship Alameda.
1t is possible that an arrest may be
made a few days in advance of the re-
turn of the officers, provided that in
the meantime unexpected develop
ments in Honolulu warrant the arrest
of any of the persons suspected
Az said in yesterdays Call, the In
vestigation by the police has finally
singled out three persons, closely con-
nected with the household of the late
Mrs Stanford, as the most likely cul-
prits. and to these three the police
have added another name. that of a
man who may be proved an accom-
plice in the diabolical crime.

CHEMISTS DEVELOP
TRACES OF POISON
DURING ANALYSES
MAKE REPORT TO POLICE
Local Authorities Receive Bot
tie That Contained Fa-
tai Grains.

All doubts that may have existed
here during the last three days as TO
whether Mrs. Stanford's death was
due to strychnine poisoning were dis
PEELED yesterday when a brief message
was received by the police TO the ef-
feet that the Honolulu chemists had
discovered traces Of the drug in por-
ton of the woman's stomach that is
under examination.
The fact that only a portion OF the
stomach had been analyzed suggest
ed to Attorney Wilson, whose wisdom
is being accepted by Acting Chief Of
Police Spillane and Captain Of De-
tectives Burnett, inasmuch as he Is
well acquainted with the legal phases
of the case, the advisability of having
a more thorough analysis made. Ac-
cordingly a cablegram was sent TO
Honolulu directing the chemists to
make an analysis of the entire stom-
ach and also the other organs of the
dead woman. 1t was these instruc-
tions that were responsible for the de-
lay of the arrival of the eagerly look
ed for report from the islands
Later in the afternoon the authori-
ties of Honolulu sent word that the
chemists had commenced their work
and expected to complete it some time
this afternoon. The brief announce
ment Of the discovery of poison in Mrs.
Stanford's stomach was most timely,
for to-day the local detectives leave on
the steamship Alameda for the scene
of the recent tragedy and eagerly
awaited this information as a guide
for their work in Honolulu. which they
will map out on their voyage
Ever since the first news of Mrs.
Stanford's death was received here her
brother, Charles Lathrop. and a num-
ber of friends. among them DR.. David
