But Cossacks, Infantry and Artillery Patrol Warsaw. ‘Warsaw, March 2.—Cossacks, infan- try and artillery are patrolling all parts of the city day and night in or- der to protect the police in the dis- charge of their duties. The big indus- trial strikes are ended with the excep- tion of two iron mills, where 3,000 men are still out. The street railroad strike contin- ues. No cars have been running for five days. X Small strikes are constantly re- ported. The firemen have refused to g0 to fires until their demands are granted and the street cleaners and other city laborers struck, but their demands were granted and they re- turned to work immediately.

St. Detersburg, March 2.—Lieuten- ant Generzl Stoessel arrived in St Petershurg during the morning from Moscow. When the train bearing the deftender of Port Arthur steamed into the depor miany hundreds of people, especially women, crowded on the plat- form. War Dhlinister Sakharoff and Admiral Zilotti, in behalf of the admi- ralty, welcomed General Stoessel, who was loudly cheered and presented with flowers. After receiving the per- sonal ccngratulations of friends the general, looking bronzed and in good health, traversed the cheering crowd -| to a reception room, stopping now and then to shake hands with admirers: Behind the general came Mrs. Stoes- sel, leaning on the arm of a military officer. She looked to be even more bronzed than her husband and smiled happily at the warm wclcome ac- corded him. It was remarked thal the reneral’s hair had turned quite white. ‘When the reception ceremonies were over General and Mrs. Stoessel en- iered an open riage and drove through the Nev Prospect to the idence of Lieutenant General Prince Viasemlky. a member of the imperial council, where they will stay. The crowds in the streets lustily cheered the gencral. The absence of military and naval officers from the platform was very noticeable. Altogether the genergl's welcome was by no means in the nature of a popular demonstra- tion and lacked genuine enthusiasm. Two wonths all Russia was sing- Ing the praises of (he defender of Port Arthur, yet when he came home comparatively iew peopie to cheer him. The recerst attacks on General Stoes- sel are producing some revulsion of popular feeling in favor. PARTIAL ST, T?OF SIEGE. Proclamation Afiecting Sevsral Prov- inces of Pcland: Warsaw, March 2—The governor general of Poland prociaimed a partial state of siege of the govern- ments of Kolisz, Lublin, Kiekce and Lomza. As a si condition pre- vails in the remaining six provincial governments all Poland is now gov erned under a modified form of mar- tial law. The proclamation does not give specific reascns for the action™ taken, but it is due to the general un- satisfactory condition of the country. _ The sirike on the Vistula raiilroad 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 rail- roads have also ended and all War- saw’s railroad communications are now restored. BOMBS POURING INTO RUSSIA. Boxes Marked Oranges Found to Con- tain Grenades. St. Petersburg, March 2.—Vast quan- tities ol hand bombs are being im- ported into Russia. The discovery was accidentally made by the customs au- thorities at Wirballen, Russian Poland, on opening an ordinary fruit box marked “oranges,” which was found to confain 100 small bombs. Scores of similar boxes having been coming in for weeks and the authorities fear they are already widely distributed. The bombs are not of the type of those used Ly the terrorists. They are more like hand grenades and it is thought possible that they were in- distribution among the strikers as weapons with which to fight the troops. The efforts made by the police to locate the plotters have as yet been unavailing. SERIOUS‘ RE\;ELT IN ARABIA. Battle at Sanaa Has Been in Progress Five Days, 3 Constantinople, March 2.—The pres- ent insurrection in Yemen province, Arabia, appears to put in the shade all 'previous revolts. The center of the movement is at Saada, northward of Sanaa, and already there are signs of its extension to the province of Ashyr. The insurgents have again suwrrounded Sanaa and a stubborn fight bas been in progress for five days. Many of the Turkish troops refuse to résist any further and are deserting. In the south the towns of Aab and Hidjeh, the latter containing 2,000 troops with four guns, are surrounded and on the point of capitulating. The alleged victory of Feb. 1, when it was officially announced that the Turkish forces had routed the rebels investing Sanaa and Hodeida, Yemen provirce, and had relieved the besieged garri- son of Sanaa, turns out to have been an insurgent sugcess. Turkey’s de- fective Lransportation delays the dis- patch of reinforcements. The object of the ingurrection fs believed to be the creation of an au- toromous Arab state. FRENCH STRIKE RIOTS. Large Military Force to Maintain Or- der at Brest. Brest, France, March 2.—Strike man- Ifestations continue here and several minor conflicts between strikers and troops have occurred, during which two officers of dragoons were roughly bandled.

JANE LATHROP STANFORD DIES IN STRANGE MANNER AT HONOLULU. TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL AT HER HOTEL POLICE AND DOCTORS ARE CON- DUCTING AN INQUIRY INTO THE MATTER. Honolulu, March 2.—Mrs. Jane La- throp Stanford of San Francisco, widow of United States Senator Leland Stan- ferd, died at 11:30 $. m. at the Moana hotel here. Suspicious circumstances surround the death of Mrs. Stanford. She was taken ill at 11 o’clock and said: “I have been poisoned.” Her last words were: horrible death to die.” Mrs. Stanford came here from Sun Francisco on the Korea Feb. 21. In conversation with Mrs. Henry Highton of San Francisco, who is now here, Mrs. Stanford said that an attempt had been made to poison her in that city and that this was her reason for sail- ing on the Korea. It was Mrs. Stan- ford’s belief, according to Mrs. High- ton, that enough poison had been used to Kill twenty persons. It is understood that an investiga- tion of the case is now being made by the police of San Francisco. The police here are also conducting an in- vestigation. Before retiring Mrs. Stanford took a dose of bicarbonate of soda, which she purchased in San Francisco. It is reported that the soda contained 'shnine, but this report cannot be verified. Dr. F. H. Humphreys, who attended Mrs. Stanford, is now making an examination of the tontents of the bottle, which had not been touched since Mrs. Stanford left San Francisco. In the afternoon Mrs. Stanford went to a picnic. She ate heartily. On re- turning to the hotel she took no din- ner and retired shortly after 10 o’clock. At 11 o'clock a guest of the hotel ‘who occupied an adjoining room heard Mrs. Stanford groaning. and, running to the room, found her lying on the floor. She had evidently tried to sum- mon help. At the time of Mrs. Stan- ford’s death there were present Miss Burner, her secretary, and her maid, May Wilson. Both were prostrated. No statement has been issued by Dr. Humphreys or by Dr. H. V. Murray, who was called into consultation. TO POISON MRS. STANFORD. Attempt Made in San Francisco on Feb. 18. i San Francisco, March 2—Omr the 18th of last month it was reported that an attempt had been made to murder Mrs. “Thig is & water at her home on California street in this city. It was stated that she had taken 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 sum- moned. The contents of her stomach and the water remaining in the hottle were analyzed and sufficient strych- nine te have killed three persons was found. Mrs. Stanford first drank of the water on Jan. 14 and from that time her health declined. Although the story of the attempt to poison her was. positively denied, persistent ru- mors regarding the matter were cur- rent. She sailed for the Orient on the steamer Korea two weeks ago and it was believed by her friends here that the veyage would result in her com- plete restoration to health. GOES TO THE' UNIVERSITY. Almost Entire Balance of the Stan. ford Fortune. Mrs. Jane Lathrop “Stanford was born’ in Albany, N. Y., in 1825. She married Leland Stanford, who later became one of the builders of the Cen- tral Pacific railroad and accumulated an immense fortune. As the wite of Governor ‘and later Senator Stanford Mrs. Stanford for many years took a prominent part in social affairs. She co-operated with her husband in the founding of Leland Stanford, Jr., uni- versity and after Senator Stanford’s death devoted herself almost- entirely to the interests of the university. Al- though the immense endowment of nearly §$20,000,000 made by Senator and Mrs. Stanford to the university was placed in the hands of trustées Mrs. Stanford until the time of her death had control of the funds and the appdintment of the trustees. Almost thé entire Stanford fortune now goes to the unmiversity. but one child, a son, who died at an early age and in memory of whom the Leland Stanford, Jr., unheralty was bunded. Ohio.
