Tokio, March 1.—The headquarters
of the Japanese army on the Shakhe
river lelegraphing Tuesday says: "Thr
enemy's batteries at Tungyou mountain
and the northern heights of Tangchia-
tun commenced bombarding at four
o'clock to-day. We did not reply. Mon-
day night the enemy's field guns at
Shupangtai and heavy guns at Wen-
ch ngpao concentrated their fire on our
outposts in the vicintiy of the rail-
road bridge. At one in the morning
five companies of infantry advanced
on either side of the railroad and sur-
rounded our outposts. Finally part of
the enemy charged into our trenches
and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand
fight. Our outjHists had repulsed the
enemy entirely at three in the morn-
ing. The enemy left 00 dead, some
prisoners and some spoils. Small bodies
of the, enemy at Wanchiayuant/.u,
Sanehiatzu and Lapatia have been re-
pulsed."
Th« KiimIhh Account.
St. Petersburg, March 1.—Two brief
dispatches from Gen. Kuropatkin,
dated February 27 and February 28,
confirm the capture of the head of the
Shakhe river bridge. Attacks of the
Japanese on Gauto pass were repulsed
February 27 and February 28. The
Russian advance guards still hold
'heir position at Kudaza. The sharp
shooters continue to harass the .whole
Japanese front and, it is confirmed,
caused considerable alarm by the use
of hand grenades at Sandiapu during
the night of February 27.

MARTIAL LAW IN POLAND.

Strike* at War*a« Knded.
Warsaw, March 1.—The governor
general of Poland has proclaimed a
partial state of seige of governments of
Kalisz, Lublin, Kielce and Lomza. As
a similar condition prevails in the
remaining six provincial governments
alt Poland is now governed under a
modified form of martial law. The
proclamation does not give specific
reasons for the action taken but it is
due to the general unsatisfactory
condition of the country.
The strike on the Vistula railroad
is ended. Train service both north
and south of Warsaw has been re-
sumed. The strikers obtained higher
wages and other concessions. The
strikes on the suburban railroads have
also ended and all Warsaw's railroad
communications are now restored.
HAND-BOM8S AS ORANGES.

St. Petersburg, March 1.—Large
quantities of hand-bombs are being
imported into Russia. The discovery
was accidentally made by the customs
authorities at Wirballen, Russian Po-
land, on opening an ordinary fruit box
marked "oranges" which was found to
contain 100 small bombs. Scores of
similar boxes have been coming in for
weeks and the authorities hear they
are already distributed. The bombs
are not of the type of those Used by
the Terorists. They are more like hand
grenades and it is thought possible
that they were intended for distribu-
tion among the strikers as weapons
with which to fight the troops. The ef-
forts made by the police to locate
the'plotters have as yet been unavail-
ing.

Kanaa* House I'a**e* the Antl-DUcrlmlna-

Topeka, Kan., March 1.—The house
by a vote of 82 to 18 passed the anti-
fliscrimination bill, aimed principally
at the Standard Oil company, and the
last of the anti-trust measures to come
up in this session. It now goes to
Gov. Hoch. This bill will reinforce
the half dozen other anti-trust meas-
ures passed by the present legislature.
A heated debate preceded the passage
of the measure during which Represen-
tative Beekman. pointing at Charles
H. Rldgeway, a lobbyist who fought
the anti-discrimination bill, created
a sensation when he declared: "He is
fighting this bill because he represents
the Millers' trust."

Honolulu, March l.-Mrs. Jane Lath-
rop Stanford, of San Francisco, wid- j
ow of United States Senator Leland
Stanford, died at 11:40 o'clock Tuesday
night at the Moana hotel here. Sus-
picious circumstances surround the
death of Mrs. Stanford. She was taken
ill at 11 o'clock and said: "1 have
been poisoned." Her last words were:
"This is a horrible death to die." Mrs.
Stanford came here from San Francis-
co on the Korea February 21. In
conversation with Mrs. Henry High-
ton, of San Francisco, who is now here,
Mrs. Stanford said that an attempt had
l>een made to poison her in that city
and that this was her reason for saiU
ing on the Korea, It was Mrs. Stan-
ford's belief, according to Mrs. High-
ton, that enough poison had been used
to kill 20 persons.
Tne at tli* I niverolty.
Stanford. University, Cal.. March l.-
Mrs. Stanford died suddenly Wednes-
day morning at the Moana hotel.
This brief cablegram from Honolulu
to Mr. Charles G. I^athrop, brother of
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, was re-
ceived at the university Wednesday.
The message was signed by Dr. Hum-
phrey, a prominent physician of Hono-
lulu, who was attending Mrs. Stanford.
No further particulars have been re-
ceived, but it is suposed that death
resulted from a severe case of grippe,
which Mrs. Stanford contracted Just
before she started on a health-seek-
ing trip to Japan. A few minutes af-
ter eight o'clock and just after the
first hour classes had assembled in
the university the news of Mrs. Stan-
ford's death spread from building to
building and students and professors
alike dropped all work and by the time
he official notice came from President
Jourdan's office, the whole student
body had quickly retired from the
quadrangles. Everything at the uni-
versity is temporarily suspended at
the university and the 2,000 inhabi-
tants of the campus are mourning the
loss of the last of the founders of
Stanford university.
Was There on Attempt at Murder.
San Francisco, March 1.—On *he
18th of last month it was reported
that an attempt had been made to
murder Mrs. Stanford by means of
poison placed in a bottle of mineral
water at her home In California street
in this city. It was stated that she
had taken three drinks of the deadly
mixture, but the poison had been used
in such large quantities that it served
as its own emetic. Mrs. Stanford was
taken violently ill, and medical aid
was summoned. The contents of her
stomach and the water remaining in
the bottle were analyzed and sufficient
strychnine to have killed three per-
sons was found. Mrs. Stanford first
drank of the water on January 14
and from that time her health de-
clined. Although the story of the at-
tempt to poison her was positively de-
nied. persistent rumors regarding the
matter were circulated. She sailed
for the orient on the steamer Korea
two weeks ago and it was believed
by her friends here that the voyage
would result in her complete restora-
tion to health. No one had access to
Mrs. Stanford's apartments in this city
except the members of her household
and though many theories were ad-
vanced the detectives who investigated
the affair did not announce the dis-
covery of any motive for the attempted
murder, if indeed, the poison had been
intended for Mrs. Stanford at all.
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford was born
Albany, N. Y., In 1825. She married
Leland Stanford, who later became
one of the builders of the Central Pa-
cific railroad and accumulated an im-
mense fortune. As the wife of Gov
and later Senator Stanford. Mrp. Stan-
lord for many years took a prominent
part in social affairs. She co-operated
with her husband in the founding of
Leland Stanford Jr.. University, and
after Senator Stanford's death devoted
herself almost entirely to the interests
of the university. Although the im-
mense endowmentof nearly $20,000,000
made by Senator and Mrs. Stanford to
the university was placed In the hands
of trustees, Mrs. Stanford until the
time of her death had control of the
funds and the appointment of the trus-
tees. Almost the entire Stanford for-
tune now goes to the university. Mrs.
Stanford had but one child, a son, who
died at an early age and in memory of
whom the Leland Stanford. ,Tr univer-
sity was founded.
