Induction of Vice President Fairbanks-Unusually Bright Weather Favors Out-of-Door Exercises-Parade a Magnificent Pageant. I lflll,J 1 till MmmMmM PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Facts A beat Inauguration. Saturday was the thirty-fifth inauguration, and the thirtieth Inauguration Day. President Roosevelt is the twenty-sixth President to be in augurated. The first inauguration was held in New York on April 30, The oldest President inaugu rated was William II. Harrison, 68 years old; the youngest, Roosevelt, 43; the next to the youngest. Grant, 47.

"No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to sin gle ut out as a subject for inso lent aggression." "The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well-being, which have devel oped to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance and indi vidual initiative, have also trought the care and anxiety in separable from the accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success o our experiment much depends, not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the wel fare of mankind. If we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its foundations, and therefore our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is today and to the genera tions yet unborn." Washington, D. C (Special). Theo dore Roosevelt Saturday entered the Presidency in his own right. The in aiiguration ceremonies from the ride to the Capitol, where the oath of office was administered, to the concluding brillian cy of the inaugural ball, were character istic of the man being inducted into of fice. High color and unexpected contrasts gave brilliant spectacular effect and marked the ceremonies as Mr. Roose velt's own. He coined the expression "President in his own right," as distin guished from the Presidency held by succession, and the impress of individu ality was upon the entire day's proceed ings. Theodore Roosevelt was not an official being passively inducted into of fice. The dominant quality of his char acter was felt in the intense regularity and gorgeousness of military pomp and in the easy swagger of cowboys of the plains. TIic startling contrast was char acteristic, and he seemed to be equally in sympathy both rith the pomp and with the easy indifference of the ranch men. B. and 0. Freights Crash. Toledo, Ohio (Special). As a result rf a head-on collision between freight trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road four miles east of Defiance, Fire man Samuel Bradle, of Garrett, Ind., was instantly killed and J. K.

The House of Keprejen'.atives of Nebraska passed nn Antitniit bill by a vote of 72 to 10. The bill still has to be considered by the Sen-He. It exempts domestic. corpo rations in its provisions, and its author, Representative Junkim, said that while it affected all foreign public corporations it ws aimed specifically at the so-called Beef Trust and the Standard Oil Com pany. Publicity by the medium of com plete reports to the Attorney-General and srvere penalties for violation of the provision agntnst rebates are leading features of tbe bill. All anxiety about the weather condi tions was relieved with the rising of the sun in a clear sky. The day was as nearly perfect as could be desired, it being warm enough to render an over coat unnecessary, and the bright sun shine brought out all the color and beau ty of the scene. The President rode to the Capitoi es corted by the men who were associated with his advancement through war to political eminence. At the Capitol he was met by the most distinguished offi cials of this Government and by the representatives of all nations. From the cast front of the great legislative build ing, surrounded by the Senators and Representatives in Congress, justices of the Supreme Court, Ambassadors and other representatives of foreign nations, Governors of States and the highest offi cers of the army and navy, he took the oath of office administered by the Chief Justice and addressed a multitude of cheering citizens, who pressed from as fas as the eye could reach and almost trampling upon each other to get within sound of his voire. Surprising everybody by the brevity of his address and causing many to wonder at the significance of his words, which were full of suggestion without directly announcing a policy, he turned with the promptness of military action from his civilian surroundings and proceeded to the White House, where, after hastily disposing of a luncheon, at which he had a number of distinguished guests, he went upon the grand reviewing stand, from which he reviewed the most re markable parade that has ever passed before any President of the United States. At night he viewed the fire works from the rear of the White House ami then participated in an inaugural ball, the brilliancy of which has never been surpassed. In his honor people were assembled from every part of the United Slates and from the remote inlands which rep resent acquisition by expansion of na tional empire. The North, the South, the East and the Wt-t were represented in the imposing parade which marched before him to salute the President of the United States. Democrats and Re publican?, Confederate soldiers and Union soldiers, Indians and palefaces, Filipinos and Porto Ricans. cowboys and fellows of the great institutions of learning, civilians in all walks of life, the most tli-tingnished military and na val commanders and the Governors of sovereign States were here to do honor to the occasion. In magnificence of display this inaugu ration 1ms not been surpassed, and the 200,000 persons coming from all direc tions to witness the ceremonies talked and acted and cheered and shouted as if, somehow, they felt themselves to be peculiarly close to the man they were seeing to the White House for a term in his own right. The President reviewed the grand pa rade from a beautifully constructed stand in front of the White House, facing the Court of History, the chef d'oruvrc of the feast of beauty, which was the acme of the decorative scheme, occupying the street for about four blocks. Here were assembled the allegorical figures of he roic size and the portrait statues brought from the. World's Fair, and the bamboo FINANCIAL " Xew York banks apparently gained J 1,000,000 cash during the week. The American Telephone Company will issue $.'5,000,000 of 4 per cent. bond-.

The military and the civil and the races over whom the American flag flies were represented in this parade. The gorgeousncss of the military ' uniforms was eclipsed by the novelty and pictures-queues of the cowboys' careless dress and the Indian in full regalia of his race. There were the uniformed sol dier, the marching organisations with their distinctive banners and dress, pa triotic orders of the early Republic, cit izens of our enlarged nation Filipino, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and the abo rigines, uncivilized and civilized, whose ancestral line runs beyond the birth of American civilization. The parade rep resented American progress from the blanket Indian to this period of expand ed power. One hundred bands filled the air wilt music and a thousand gay ban ners were borne along the line of march. The ceremony concluded with a night scene of great splendor. The heavens were illuminated with fireworks, 2oo,oo;i spectators being assembled at every point of vantage to view the gorgeous specta cle. Huildings were illuminated along the avenue and vicinity, and the bril liant electrical display, the gay stream ers and sweeping American flags, now flowing into the glare of the light, dis closing their bright colors, and now fall ing back into the shadow, produced a bewildering effect of color, light and motion that made the air seem to palpi tate with brilliant rainbow tints like the flaring magnificence of au aurora borc- ahs. The climax of splendor was reached at the inaugural ball, which the Presi dent opened at 0 o'clock. The magnifi cent ballroom glowed with light, and the senses were almost overcome with the odor of flowers. The scene was that of a tropical garden, to which the Amer ican tropics and the Sotitlvland contribu ted the richest of their flora. At the sound of the bugle's salute to colors the President entered the ballroom with Mrs. Roosevelt, followed by the Vice-Presi dent and Mrs. Fairbanks, the Speaker of the House and Miss Helen Cannon, rresident t'ro lent, frryc and his grand daughter, Miss White, members of the Cabinet and the Cabinet ladies, Miss Roosevelt, the military and naval at taches of the President and justices of the Supreme Court. The 12,000 participants in the festiv ity, the glare of light, the dazzling beau ty and color of dresses and uniform, the heavy foliage and the perfume of flow ers, the rocky grotto fountain in the center of the hall and the strains of mu sic dazzled the sense with their splen dor. Here, too, with the more subtle suggestion, was detected that oualitv which distinctly characterized this inaug ural among all others. hen this splendid scene faded away at midnight the most magnificent in augural ot this nation had come to a close. Theodore Roosevelt returned to the White House "President in his own right," to begin a term, the power and responsibilities of which had been oor- t rayed in the ceremony of his induction into ottice. Fairbanks Inaugurated. Washington, D. C. (Special). Quite as impressive as any part of the inaugu ration were the indoor ceremonies in the Senate Chamber attendant upon the inauguration of Vice-President Fair banks. The scene was dignified, impressive and most picturesque. There was noth ing of the spectacular. Only the formal ities which the occasion required under the Constitution were performed. In the gallery reserved for families of the Sen ators the entire front row was occupied by the President's immediate party and that of the Vice-President elect, Mr. Fairbanks. In the diplomatic gallery were the sec retary and attaches of the embassies and legations, with the members of their families. PLUCKY STATION AGENT. Has Revolver Fight With Burglars and Kills One ol Them. Unionville, Ct (Special). A. A. Eurn ham, station agent of the New York, Xew Haven and Hartford Railroad in this village, shot and killed one of a gang of burglars who had broken into the station. A complete burglar's kit was found on the body, but there was nothing to reveal the man's identity. His companions escaped, after a running fight with the station agent, during which several shots were exchanged. Nothing was stolen from the station, as the burglars were surprised by the agent before they had a chance to open the sa fe. The station agent who lives near the det was awakened by the ringing of a burglar alarm in his room. He hast ily dressed, and, seizing a revolver, ran to the station, and as he was peering through the waiting room window a shot was fired at him through the glass. He returned the fire, but before he had time to ascertain the effect of his shot another bullet came from inside the sta tiim, and the next instant a man crashed through the -window to the platform beside him and ran off down the rail road track. The station agent chased him for a short distance, and several shots were exchanged, none of which took effect. Meanwhile another of the burglars had escaped from the station and the body of the third was found on the floor of the waiting-room. Wounds behind his right car and in his cheek showed where the bullet from the agent's revolver had passed through his head. The man was fairly well dressed and was not apparently of the common tramp class. Stricken Calling Upon Heaven. Muskegon, Mich (Special). Arraign ed on a charge of using profane lan guage, Julius Davis, a veteran of the Civil War, on the stand called upon Heaven to witness the charges as false.

TI1E LOSSES HAVE BEEN ENORMOUS. Each Side Estimated To Have Had 30,000 Meo Killed or Wounded Japanese Captur More Villages la Karopatkta's Second Lint of Defease and Drlvt Him to His Stronghold South of Mukden, St. Petersburg (By Cable). There is intense anxiety in official circles here over the situation in Manchuria. It is realized that General Kuropatkin's army is in a perilous position. The Japanese have been making steady gains since the six-day battle began. General Kuroki, according to the lat est reports gi-'tn out at the War Office, is stalled by the Russian left, but the Russian center is yielding slowly before the Japanese onslaughts. On Thursday Field Marshal Oyatna shifted the weight to his left, seeking to envelop the Russian right, eight miles southwest of Mukden. In the bloody hand-to-hand fighting which followed and continued for hours the losses on both sides were enormous. The most serious news is the report that the Japanese flanking column at Sinmintin, about 30 miles west of Muk den, has divided, part of it moving straight east to roll up the Russian right wing, while the other is making forced marches north with the evident purpose of cutting the Russian line of communi cations with Tie Pass and closing the line of retreat. Should the operation prove successful, the Russian Army might be surrounded. The Russian correspondent places the Russian losses at 30,000 men and those of the Japanese at 30,000. "My Position Dangerous." Berlin (Bv Cable). A disoatch to the Tagcblatt from St. Petersburg says: (jcneral Kuropatkin in a telegram which arrived hert at 7 o'clock said 260,000 Japanese had broken through the Russian left wing, and that it was cut off from the remainder of the army." At 10 o clock came another dispatch from General Kuropatkin, which read: Ihe Japanese are marching on Muk den. My position is extremely danger ous." In government circles here there is a conviction that General Kuropatkin has been fully beaten, that part of his army has been dispersed, and the rail road north of Mukden will probably be cut. Carried Heights la Russian Center. St. Petersburg (By Cable). Two lengthy dispatches received from Gen eral Kuropatkin, detail the movements of troops in various directions. The enemy adopted vigorous offen sive tactics, conducting a turning move ment on our right flank before the vil lages of Sakhotun and Linziatun. After a strong preparatory cannonade they at tacked, but were repulsed with great loss. lhc Japanese vigorously attacked the Goatu Pass position, and took one of our entrenchments, from which they were dislodged bv our counter-attack. but we finally abandoned this entrench ment, because it was entirely destroyed. I he Japanese several times attacked our detachments on the left flank, and at about I P. M. carried the heights in the center of our position. Our troops, however, counter-attacked, dislodged the enemy, and gained a footing on the crest of a neighboring hill. Our detachment near the village of Kudiaza, aftcrrepulsing five violent at tacks and inflicting great loss, assumed the offensive." KEWS IN SHORT ORDER.

In a rear end collision between two special pas senger trains from Cleveland on the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad en route to Washington, six men and one woman were killed outright and 20 others injured, many of whom died later. The accident happened at Clifton Sta tion, eight miles west of here, and was caused by the first special stopping for a hot-box, and the second followed so closely that the flagman had not time to get back far enough to prevent the collision. The first train carried a battalion of the Ohio engineers. It was made up of six coaches and a baggage ear. The second train, with the same number of cars, carried the Tippecanoe Club, of Cleveland, with a band and 25 or 30 women.

STANFORD POISONED! Analysis Shows Tbat the Soda Contain ed Strychnia. SAID SHE BELIEVED IN SPIRITS; Intended to E tab ish a Department of Spir itualism at the Unlverslty-ller Secretary Tells of Attempt Mad , to P0I100 Mrs. Stanford In San Francisco Her Mind' Was Clear. Honolulu (My Cable). The chemists' report of the analysis of the bicarbon ate of socle of which Mrs. Stanford tooki a dose shortly before her death states positively that titc soda contained strych nine. Mrs. Highion. wife of Henry E.' Highton, the well-known San Francis-! co lawyer, says that Mrs. Stanford cried .when telling her of the attempt which' had been made to poison her in San' Francisco, and that she could not con ceive why anyone should try to do so. During a discussion of spiritualism Mrs. Stanford said she believed in spirits and intended to establish a department at: Stanford University for the investiga tion of psychic phenomena. Miss Itern-i er, her secretary, says in regard to the alleged attempt at poisoning in San: Francisco that Mrs.-Stanford drank a glass of mineral water with the bicar bonate of soda, the strychnine of which made her violently ill, so much strych-! nine being absorbed that the stomach' rebelled and she finally recovered. Miss! Berner says Mrs. Stanford's maid, Mayj Hunt, agrees with her in their state-; ments to the police that the bottle con-i tabling the strychnine was packed in San Francisco five weeks ago preparatory to coming here, and that it remained un-i touched since then until it was opened by Mrs. Stanford herself before taking, the dose. On arriving here from San Francisco on the steamer Korea Mrs. Stanfordl said that she had left San Francisco unexpectedly and in a great hurry. There arc indications that the policei of this city suspect a member of Mrs. Stanford's household of having placed! strychnine in the bottle of bicarbonate! of soda, of which she took a dose before1 retiring Tuesday night. Dr. H. V. Murphy, one of the physi-j cians who conducted the autopsy, says that death was due to strychnine poison-' ing. The body of Mrs. Stanford has been embalmcib and it probably will be taken to San Francisco on the Pacific Mail Company's steamship China, which will sail from Honolulu on March 10. It is due to arrive at San Francisco on March 17- Mrs. Stanford had in her possessioni when she arrived in Honolulu jewelryi valued at about $75,000. This was found! apparently intact, and was taken charge! of by Mr. Hackfield. j High Sheriff Henry denies a rumori in circulation that Miss Bertha Berner,! Mrs. Stanford's secretary, and Miss' Hunt, her maid, are under surveillance. ATTACK ON MORMAN CHURCH. Senator Kearos' Valedictory Speech la lbs! Senate. Washington, D..C (Special). Whenl the antipolygamy resolution introduced! by Mr. Dubois was laid before the Scn- ate Tuesday, Mr. Kearns, of Utah, who' is about to retire, delivered a prepared speech in which he reviewed the his tory of Utah and recited the conditions under which statehood was granted.) "The pledges given by the people of Utah," said the Senator, "I believe conw sisted of the following propositions: "That the Mormon leaders would livflj within the laws pertaining to plural marriage and the continued plural mar riage relation, and that they would en force this obligation upon all of their followers, under penalty of disfellow ship. "That the leaders of the Mormon Church would no longer exercise po litical sway, and that their followers would be 'free and would ejeercise their freedom in politics, in business and in social affairs."
