Washington-A noteworthy depart
ure in the arrangements for the Presl-
dents movements on inauguration day
has been the custom of the incoming
and outginng Presidents to take lunch
cons at the capitol as the guests of the
joint inaugural committee of the SEN
ate and house Of representatives. This

diately followed the inaugural cere-
monies at the east front of the capitol.
While the President, the retiring
President, the Vice, President and
other distinguished men were at lunch.
con, the parade was kept waiting, the
delay usually being about an hour. At
the conclusion of the luncheon, the
President and his predecessors re-
turned to the White House, the former
going Immediately to the reviewing
stand to review the inaugural process
sion, which followed him from the
capitol.
In order to avoid, If possible, the
unnecessary delay in the movement of
the parade, President Roosevelt de-
cided to return to the White House di.
yectly after the inaugural ceremonies.
Ege will he accompanied by his escort
of honor, 30 picked members of his
former regiment of Rough Riders and
squadron A Of New York city Lunch
con will be awaiting the President and
his party at the White House.
The guests of the President and

stand.
All of the incoming trains from
every direction are bringing inaugural

President to the capitol, are among the
latest arrivals. They will wear their
Khaki service uniforms in the parade.

Mrs. Stanford Poisoned.

Honolulu-Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stan"
ford of San Francisco, widow of U. 8.
Senator Leland Stanford, died at ll.4O
o'clock Wednesday night at the Mo-
mana hotel here. Suspicious circum-
stances surround her death. She was
taken i'll at II o'clock.
Her last words were: Il have been
poisoned. o. this Is a horrible death
to die!"
An autopsy on the body Of Mrs.
Stanford was performed. The physi-
clan who conducted the autopsy SAID
that the cause of death was tetanus
of the respiratory organs, but that he
cannot state how the tetanus was
brought about until after an examina-
ton of the contents of the stomach.
No inquest will be held until High
Sheriff Henry receives the report OF
the chemists. This report will be
probably received soon.
In accordance with the local law a
coroner's jury was Immediately sum
moned and viewed the body in the
hotel. The members of tlris jury
were: w. c. Peacock, proprietor and
j. R. Hertsche, manager of the ho.

viii Ignore Order.

Chlcago-E&ecutive officers Of west
ern railroads have decided to ignore
the order Of the interstate commerce
commission requiring them to charge
no higher rates for live stock than are
charged for the transportation Of live
stock products.
BY the advice of attorneys for the
different roads, the matter will be
tested in the courts, as the railroads
are agreed that it will be impossible
either to lower the live stock rates or
to increase the rates on live stock
products.
The railroads estimate that compli
ance with the order of the commission
would mean an annual aggregate loss
to the railroads of about $2,O0OO00

Oubenepusa, via Mukden.-Onc Of
the coldest and most cherries opera
tions of the winters warfare in Man
churia was the 13-mile retreat Of the
Tsinkhetchen division the night of
Feb. 26 from Da pass to Oubenepusa.
All day Gen. RennenkRmpff's sol
diers, wearied by week of continual
fighting and disheartened by the aban-
donment of Tsinkhetchen, had flung
off attack after attack by overwhelm-
ing numbers of japanese in order to
cover the withdrawal of supplies which
had been accumulated in large ware
houses at Solun.
This village is eight miles in the
rear and at the head of a horse car
Tine which was constructed from the
base at Mukden in order to provision
the advanced positions on the left
flank.
1t is five miles north of the village
of Oubenepusa, where the road from
Gao Pass to the eastward joins the
main Tsinkhetchen-FAchu highway.
At 6 o'clock on the evening of Feb
26, the commander of the battalion on
the Gao Pass road sent word that he
was unable longer to hold out against
the Japanese advancing in that direc-
ton; but the commander Of the divi-
sion was determined to hold on until
the last wagon should have left Solun
Word was received at o'clock that
the withdrawal had been safely ef-
fected, and then the dreary retreat be.

bitter, and snow was falling heavily.
Weary and supperless, the soldiers
scarcely could see their file leaders.

er, and the bursting of shrapnel occa-
sionally illuminated the heights to the
eastward. =
1t became evident to every man of
the command plodding through the
deepening snow that the danger. of
being cut off was imminent. Only the
coolness and courage of the command
er averted disaster.
The retreat was SO timed that the
rear guard reached Oubenepusa Just
in time. The force retreating on the
easterly road had been driven in on
the village; and the forces, uniting,
fixed bayonets, turned and in utter
darkness drove the Japanese back two
miles.
On Feb. q the Japanese renewed
their attack, but the Russians ro,

Tuesday Feb. 27, there was desper-
ate fighting, but the Japanese have
succeeded in retaining possession of
the village.
The Japanese fought with fanatical
bravery, making several night attacks
and charging under cover of darkness
and fierce snowstorm almost up to
the muzzles Of the Russian batteries,
which met them with canister and
grape.

Loan poubIv Subscribed.

Toxic, Japan-A meeting of bankers
and financiers was held recently for
the purpose Of discussing the subscrip-
tons to the new domestic loan, should
it be found to be oversubscribed when
the list is opened.
At the close Of the meeting the asso.
ciated bankers announced that they
would take 6O,OO0.O0O yen. about $50,
100000. The imperial household Wit
take 100000 yen, and other corpora
tions and individuals 40,000,000 yen.
1t is expected that the loan will be
doubly subscribed. Count Okuma, ad
dressing the meeting, said that the
Japanese domestic financial capacity
was astonishing, even to its friends
He expressed the belief that the slight
disturbance in financial conditions, de
spite the enormous expenditure, was
due to the fact that agriculture fur
nished the country's great wealth
Continuing, Count Okuma said that he
believed the country would continue
the war without any feeling of embar
rassment.

Warsaw Troubles.

Observation-Disclosures broke out
here Wednesday evening in connec-
ton with the strike of shoemakers.
The strikers attempted to compel
the owners to close their shoe shops,
and paraded Lesgno street, where thy
were met by patrol, which fired upon
the strikers without hurting any of
them.
The soldiers then drew their swords
and dispersed the crowd, three strik-
ers being wounded in the affray.
The chief of police issued orders
that all house doors must be closed
the whole day under heavy penalties.
The purpose Of this order is to pre-
vent strikers from seeking refuge
from the military in houses in the
event Of disturbances. Similar meas
ures were taken during the January
riots.
There are evidences Of uneasiness
on the part of the authorities in con-
sequence Of reports that violence is
threatening for March 4.

Toxic, Japan-The headquarters Of
the japanese army on the Shakhe
river, telegraphing Feb. %, says:
"The enemy's batteries at Tungyou
Mountain and the northern Height of
Tangchlatun began bombarding at
p. m. today. We did not reply.
Monday night the enemy's field
guns at Shupangtai and heavy guns at
Wenchengpao concentrated their fire
on our outposts in the vicinity OF the
railroad bridge. At / p. m. FIVE COM
panies of infantry advanced on either
side Of the railroad and surrounded
our outposts. Finally part of the enc

gagged in fierce hand-to-hand fight.
Our outposts had repulsed the enemy

ExtradltIon With Nlcaraaua.

Washington-Sec. Hay and Minis
ter Corea have signed an extradition
treaty for the United States and Me
aragua.
About year ago, following the de-
cision of the Washington government
in favor Of the Panama route for the
isthmian canal, the government Of
Nicaragua denounced all of the trea
ties between that country and the
United States. AS the treaty just
signed can be made retroactive if
necessary, it will be possible for the
state department to reach any Ameri-
can fugitives who may now be in Mic
aragua.
The department is also engaged
with Senor Corea in framing a new
treaty Of commerce and amity to re-
place the one denounced. which will
put on a better basis the commercial
relations between the United States
and Nicaragua, which have been drift.

Educated by Our Mistakes.

It is weak to decry popular gov
ernment because of mistakes or be-
cause of fraud. There can be less
corruption where the people them
selves are always on the alert to look
for it than where the control is in
the hands of a few whose Office is as
sured and permanent. There may be
more mistakes in a government by the
people, but these same mistakes are
an education to the people, all the
time fitting them more and more for
self-government-Chicago Chronicle.

It is often said that only the rich
take care of the pennies, the poor are
too busy dreaming of the $1,000 bills.
That is one of the reasons why some
people are always poor. The substan-
tial fortunes of the United States have
been made from pennies. A fraction
of a cent on a pound of sugar, cent
or two or more a pound for nails,
grow into the aggregate millions OF
profit which are the base for the bill
