ASKS TO BE RELIEVED.
KuropatlSin Pleads the Need of Physi-
cal and Mental Rest.

LONDON, March 13.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times says:
General Kuropatkin has asked the
Emperor's gracious permission to turn
over his command, alleging that he is
In urgent need of physical and mental
rest.
Il learn on the best authority that
the Japanese twice have approached
Russia, through informal channels, on
the subject of peace negotiations, but
that in each case the proposal failed
because Japan demanded an indemnity
and a pledge that Russia would not
keep warships in the Pacific for twen-
ty-five years.
The Japanese insistence on indem-
nifty convinces the Russian Government
that her pecuniary resources are ex-
hausted and that, by continuing the
war only few months longer, Russia
will get better terms.
When Kuropatkin heard of the cap
ture Of Kiousan on March 10 he real
lied that he had delayed retreat too
long. One desperate chance remained,
however. 1t was the sacrifice of his
artillery by massing the batteries so
as to paralyze the enemy's fire. The
Russian gunners did their duty and
saved what is left of Kuropatkin' S
army"

ALAMEDA WILL BRING REMAINS.
Detectives Callundan and Reynolds
Are Studying Inquest Records.

HONOLULU, March I2.-The mail
room of the steamer Alameda, in which
were placed the remains of United
States Judge Morris NJ. Estee, when his
body was taken to San Francisco, has
been draped for the reception of the
body of Mrs. Jane i. Stanford. The
steamer will leave for San Francisco
next Wednesday at o'clock.
Services will be held at the .Cpngres
gational Central Union Church Inde-
pendent at 8 o'clock
David Starr Jordan, president of the
Stanford University, will not speak at
the services. Right Rev. Henry Bond
Restarick, Episcopal Bishop of Hawaii,
VIII read the service, and Rev. W. NJ.
Kincaid will deliver the address The
pallbearers will be David Starr Jordan,
Timothy Hopkins. Governor Carter,
United States District Judge Dole and
four members of the Stanford Alumni,
as follows: Representative Carl Smith,
Charles Dole, A. Lewis and d. l.. Van
dine. The alumni and Californians in
Honolulu viii form part of the funeral
procession.
President Jordan said to-day that he
s;ill has hope that developments will
eventually show that Mrs. Stanford
was not poisoned Neither he nor Mr..
Hopkins and the detectives regard the
Honolulu verdict as conclusive Mr..
Hopkins said that the talk of suicide
was both cruel and silly He knew
Mrs Stanford too well, he said, to be in
doubt on this point. The poisoning
theory he regarded as absolutely de-
pending on the presence of a much
greater proportion Of strychnine in the
bicarbOnate of soda that Mrs Stanford
took than was found in the remainder
Of the bottle that was analysed, and
also depending on the theory that
strychnine crystals being larger than
the grains of the bicarbonate of soda
would gravitate to the bottom, or
whether the strychnine was placed on
top of the bicarbonate shortly before
Mrs. Stanford partook of the drug.
The theory of High Sheriff Henry and
Deputy Sheriff Rawlins is that the
strychnine was placed in the bottle in
San Francisco, and that shaking
brought the poison to the top, making
the first half teaspoonful fatal dose.
Detective Harry Reynolds of San
Francisco said to-day that Miss Ber-
ner is not under any form of surveil-
lance and that when she returns to
San Francisco on the steamer Alameda
she Will not be under police observa-
tion.
Tomorrow Detectives Reynolds and
Callundan will question the autopsy

tended Mrs. Stanford. the chemists and

Special Dispatch to The Call.

COTTAGE GROVE, March 12.-John
Franton, who was arrested for the at
tempted murder of John Fletcher on
the morning of March 8, is believed to
be another John Hoch His three
wives all died under suspicious cir
cumstances, the first two bearing in
surance, the third having refused to
have her life insured on account of
the ugly rumors which circulated at
the time of the death of Branton's s
former wives.
Fletcher. who was found wounded on
the trail to Branton's ranch also had
$1,000 insurance payable to Branton.
Branton has always been considered an
honest man, but suspicion rested on
him at the death of his third wife, who
is supposed TO have died of strych-
nine, poisoning. A warrant for his ar
rest was issued al that time, but was
never served.
1t was not until a day or two after
Fletcher had recovered sufficiently to
say that he had attempted suicide as
Branton had reported, that the various
facts regarding Branton's history be-
came general knowledge, but now all
Linn County is aroused against him.
A great deal of circumstantial evil
dence has been gathered which points
to Branton as a seeker after dead
mems shoes, and the peculiar circum-
stances of his wives having been in
sured and having died under suspicious
circumstances is held up against him
now that he has been arrested for the
attempted murder of Fletcher for his
insurance. The fact that s~Branton's s
brother was hanged for having mur-
dered an old man in the Cascade Noun
tains is also being considered in this
connection.

GENERAL OKUS HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Monday, March 6.-Kankya-

From a small hill two miles to the
west the advance and attack was
plainly visible. Kankyachien is small
village in an angle two miles north and
four miles west of the railway.
At 3 o'clock General Oku left his
shelter tent and, mounted on his horse,
took his place on the summit of the
hill with his big field glasses. A few
minutes later the infantry attack be-
gan. The lead had been given to a
famous division from Northern Japan.
The attack began with the advance
of a dozen men from Hankyach, the
village to the north, who rushed sew
eral hundred yards across the plain and
dropped behind a cover. They were
followed by another small section and
then by another When about a COM
pany had been assembled the advance
was continued in the same manner.
The Russians threw hundreds OF
shells at the advancing men, cutting
them UP badly, but not stopping the
advance Scores of men dropped and
remained where they fell, while others
advanced, after which some painfully
returned to the starting point, Drawing
the Russian shells again. One party
Of five started to return, but only one
of them arrived at the shelter.
At the same time an advance began
from the western village men going
forward in the same manner. From an

Russians shelled all the advancing men

A rifle fire from the village cut wide
gaps in the advance, but still the Jap

the distance the men could advance
only in short rushes. Finally after the
last rush came the men disappeared
into the village. A few moments later
the telephone operator on the hill re-
ported that the village had been cap

The Russians heavily bombarded
