Kuropatkin Will Not Try. to

STILL FIGHTING AT OUTPOSTS
Japanese Hold On to Sanchiapu,
Where Russians Took Cuter
Works Big Battle Not Ex
pected Till Winter Breaks.
MUKDEN, Jan. 21 (Via Tientsin).
There Is no apparent connection between
starting of the battle of January 26 aha
the domestic excitement at St. Petersburg,
nor the orders Just Issued to abandon the
planned advance against the Japanese po
rtions. The effect of the trouble In Rus
gla Is as yet Imperceptible here. The
facts are not generally known. Officers
possessing Information of occurrences at
home say that the disaffected are prob
ably using the present war as a pretext
Icr their periodical demonstrations, which
are regarded no more seriously than for
merly. The Commander-in-Chief's orders to
abandon the advance are reported to state
two reasons for stopping the advance:
First, the losses sustained; second, the
failure of a quick attack upon which the
advance depended. The precise meaning
of the above is not apparent.
Notwithstanding the order to cease, a
tenacious conflict continues in the vicin
ity of Sanchiapu, a fortified outpost on
the Japanese left, where it is reported
the Russians have taken the outer works.
COLD KILLS THE WOUNDED.
Stream of Sufferers Pours Into Muk
denJapanese Spread Dissension.
MUKDBN Jan. 30 (Delayed In transmis
sion). Constant streams of wounded men
are arriving here from tho right Hank,
Including Lieutenant-General Mletchenko,
who is in excellent spirits and Is receiv
ing visitors. According to the official
army organ, the wounded number 3500.
The cold is intense and the condition of
the wounded causes the greatest anxiety,
because the exposure of their wounds to
the frost Induces gangrene.
Preventive precautions have been taken,
hut the wounded are suffering the great
est pain.
The Japanese are taking gopd care to
see that the Russian rank and file are not
left uninformed regarding the disturb
ances in Russia. They are carrying on
a regular campaign to spread sedition and
discouragement among the troops. Let
ters are daily thrown within the Russian
lines declaring that all Russia Is aflame
with riot and revolt, arguing that the sol
diers are shedding their blood In vain,
and calling on them to surrender or de
sert. The soldiers eagerly read and dis
cuss these communications, especially ac
counts of the events at St. Petersburg
January 22
The sincere hope is expressed on all
sides that tho Russian nation will forego
internal differences and not -play Into the
hands of the Japanese.
HOLD THE GROUND THEY WON
Russians Repulse Attempts of Japa
nese to Retake Captured Villages.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3L General
Kuropatkin, In dispatches dated January
29 and January 30, reports that the Jap
anese Josses Jn the repent fighting were
very heavy, many being bayoneted and
sabred. The total number of Japanese
prisoners has not been ascertained, but
they already exceed 300.
The Russian losses January 2S among
the advance posts wero five officers and
50 men.
General Kuropatkin says the Japanese
offensive was Indecisive, and that the
Russians, who were In excellent spirits.
continue to occupy the villages on their
right flank, captured during the recent
fighting.
The Russians continue to successfully
bombard Sandepas, where many Japanese
have been frozen to death.
Although the Russians have abandoned
their advance, the latest official dis
patches received here indicate that the
lighting is not over. The Russians con
tinue to hold the captured villages. The
Japanese resumed the offensive January
28, and desperately assaulted the Russians,
but were everywhere repulsed.
SITUATION NEAR MUKDfcN.
Reurning Artist Says Fighting Is Only
Grand Reconnaissance.
VICTORIA, Jan. 3L Frederick Whiting,
war artist of a London newspaper, ar
rived on the steamer Empress of China to
day. He regards the present movements
at the Shakhe, -which position he recently
left, as a reconnaissance on a large scale.
Both armies are now liv5g in strongly
fortified positions, their advance lines be
ing within 500 yards of each other. There
is a bare plain between them, with no
cover and the ground frozen as hard as
iron. Trenching is practically impossible
until the thaw comes.
Mr. Whiting does not think that the
big battle which must eventually take
place at Mukden, will be decided until
a break occurs in the weather and that
the Japanese will undoubtedly attack.
Tho Empress brought news of rioting
in Corea. This Is uue to the actions of
a band of reformers exceedingly -pro-Jap
anese.
Many floating mines, presumably drift
ed from Vladivostok, have been found in
the Soa of Japan.

hence it could only have been undertaken

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3L A tele
gram from Schiatun, dated January 29,
states that the Russian losses from Janu

0EFICIAL EEP0BT OffBIOTS.
It Says Mobs First Attacked and That
Barricades Were Built.
WARSAW. Jan. 31. The official ac
count of the disturbances here on Jan
uary 27 and 28, published In the Varshav
skl Dnevnlk, details the commencement of
the strike at Sevam on January 27, with
increasing disorder throughout the day.
Earlier the strikers went about compel
ling workmen of other establishments to
cease work, until about 15.000 were out
by midday. Peaceable inhabitants be
came panic-stricken, fearing famine, and
purchased all the available food supplies
and besieged the bakeries.
Rioting began about 3 P. M.. whon
there was an almost general cessation of
work throughout the city, and owing to
the turbulent attitude of mobs parading
the streets, the police were reinforced by
soldiers.
At 5 P. M. the strikers attacked the po
lice and gendarmes, stoning them. Some
shots were fired and the police were com
pelled to return the fire, by which two
strikers were killed. Several other col
lisions occurred during the evening. The
strikers looted liquor stores and many
other establishments. Comparative quiet
was restored, however, by 1 P. M.
On the morning of January 28 bands
of strikers reappeared. The troops
showed a peaceful attitude and dis
turbances began, professional thieves
and hooligans joining tho ranks of the
paraders. The telephone kiosks were
doted, and all vehicles topped. Many
carts were looted and lamps broken.
The crowds grew in numbers, and the
disorder was so great that the mili
tary was unable to cope with them.
Houses and shops were set on fire and
pillaged, but finally the troopsdls
persed the rioters by force of arms.
The crowds in some instances were
well armed and fired volleys at the
troops. Barricades were erected in the
streets by strikers, -who, thus pro
tected, discharged fusillados at the
soldiers in separate quarters of the
city, aqd it was necessary for the
troops to retaliate in kind.
After sunset the rioting, which had
been temporarily suspended, was re
sumed In the side streets In some
cases, the only illuminations being
from small fires built In the middle
of the street Notices which had bean
posted warning the rioters to return
home were torn down, and processions
of strikers went from house to house
and from shop to shop, accompanied by
women and children, carrying thn
sacks In which the loot was placed.
During the course of January 29 the
Etrlke extended.
This official report, which evidently
was written early on January 30, says
that on that day there was evidence
of returning quiet, some of the strik
ers resuming work.

Peabody's Plea as to Fraud-Tainted
Denver Precincts.
DENVER. Colo., Jan. SL With the
testimony of Chairman Fred A. Williams,
of the Republican City Committee, given
before the legislative Gubernatorial con
test committee, attorneys for ex-Govor-no'r
Peabody rested their case tonight, and
tomorrow Governor Adams will begin of
fering evidence In his own behalf.
From a statement made by Mr. Williams
while on the stand in response to a ques
tion by Mr. Ward, who has conducted
the examination of witnesses for the con
testor, Peabody. It Is gathered that the
latter will ask the committee to throw
out the entire vote in 109 Denver pre
cincts, counting only the ballots cast in
the remaining 93 precincts. According to
Chairman Williams' statement, this
would give Peabody a plurality of 6410 In
Denver. Deducting Adams' plurality of
5676 outside of Denver, Peabody will have
a total of 737 more votes than Adams.
While not authoritatively stated, it is
generally understood that Peabody will
ask the committee to recommend that ho
be seated upon the showing made by tho
above figures.
A feature of the brief cross-examination
of Mr. Williams was the unequivocal
statement that the local public utility cor
poration had contributed nothing toward
the Republican campaign fund and that
the charges of the opposition that an Im
mense amount of money had been given
the Republican committee by corpora
tions to assist In electing Peabody wero
false.
FRAUDS OUTSIDE OF DENVER.
More Precincts With Uniform Handwriting-Adams
Offers Explanation.
DENVER Jan. 31. Five precincts out
side of Denver were reported on by the
handwriting experts In the Adams-Pca-body
Gubernatorial contest this after
noon. The experts testified that out of
1211 ballots. 960 of which were marked for
Adams and 218 for Peabody. they found
270 Democratic and two Republican bal
lots written In 14 handwritings. Several
of these ballots, cast In Adams County In
a precinct 40 miles from Denver, were in
the same handwriting as that which was
most prevalent In the Denver boxes, ac
cording to the statement of one of the
experts.
After the committee took a recess.
State Senator William H. Adams, brother
of Governor Adams and a resident of
Alamosa, where the experts testified there
were 210 fraudulent ballots out of a total
of S21 cast In two precincts, declared that
In these precincts there are between 120
and 130 Mexican voters, most of whom
were assisted by an interpreter to prepare
their ballots. This point will be brought
out when the Democratic side is heard,
according to. Senator Adams.

MAY CONVICT OF MURDER
TRACES OF POISON IN CORPSE OF
ONE OF HOCH'S WIVES.
Hoch Admits His Identity, but Says
Some Other Hoch Is Guilty He
Wac Married in Sr.n Francisco.
CHICAGO. Jan. 31. Dr. C. W. Lewke.
Coroner's physician, said- today that he
would ask for a continuance of the In
quest over the body of Mrs. Marie
Walcker Hoch, whose death led to the
revelations of the much-married life of
Johann Hoch. The physician ha3 not
completed the chemical analysis of the
woman's stomach, and will ask for mora
time.
Dr. Lewcke Informed Coroner Hoffman
tonight that he had discovered evidence
of extraneous poison, although the anal
ysis had not yet been completed.
"There Is a possibility of the analysis
amounting to something," said Dr.
Lewke. "The chemical analysis when
completed ought to settle the question
whether the woman died naturally or not.
After I finish my work an expert will go
over It and will give me a confirmatory
report. All this takes time."
Coroner Hoffman said this afternoon:
"Traces of poison have been found In
the stomach of Mrs. Marie Walcker Hoch
through the chemical analysis. It Is pos
sible that tht prison was caused 'by the
embalming fluid. But when the analysis
is completed I believe wc will have proof
that the woman died from poisoning."
Unless the physician finds some trace
of poison In the woman's stomach, hope
of convicting Hoch of murder will be
gone. There will, however, remain many
charges of swindling and bigamy on
which Hoch will be prosecuted.
It will probably be two weeks before
Hoch Is brought back to Chicago.
Some details of the California end to
the history of Hoch were learned by
Police Inspector Wheeler today.
Mrs. Rlchel, widow of a saloon-keeper.
says that Hoch paid attentions to her
across the country from the Pacific Coast.
According to Inspector Wheeler, Mrs.
Rclchel has known Hoch as John Hoeck
for the last five years. When shown a
picture of the man today, the woman
identified it as the man who courted
her in 1904. Three letters, dated San
Francisco on February 12, 15 and IS, 1904,
written in German, were given to the
police and translated. On the reverse
side of one of the envelopes -Is written
"If not delivered In, ten days return to
Jonn Hoeck. 1104 Clay street, San Fran
clsco."
The letters were written by Hoch whllo

SAYS HE'S THE WRONG HOCH
But Man Arrested In New York Will
Waive Requisition.
NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Johann Hoch
told the officials at police headquarters
that he la anxious to return to Chicago
at once. He wanted to face the charges
against him In that city, he said, and has
no intention of opposing extradition.
Hoch was photographed for the "rogues'
gallery" before being taken to court.
When Hoch was arraigned In Police
Court he was remanded to police head
quarters for 4S hours. As the pris
oner was leaving the courtroom he said:
"Yes, I am the man wanted in Chica
go, but they are mistaken as to the
charges. I am wanted for somo trouble
I had with my sister-in-law, about some
furniture."
On his way from court, Hoch said to
the detectives:
"I am the Hoch the Chicago pollco
think they want, but they are wrong.
There are lots of Hochs by my name.
The story that I am a 'Bluebeard Is all
foolishness. I'll make somebody feel
cheap when I get back to Chicago and
prove I am Innocent. I never had but
two wives In all my life."
Some one asked If Hoch meant two at
one time. He laughed.
"Do you think I'm a Mormon?" he
asked. "I know the stories. But look
at me. Would I be fat and happy if I
had a hundred wives?"
He was then asked why he had taken
the name of Bartels . when' he came to
New York.
"I expected there would be trouble
about the $2000 worth of furniture Mary
left when she died," he said. "Her sis
ter wanted more of It than was her
share. When I was arrested here I
thought It was on account of that fur
niture." Relative to the stories that Hoch was
once said to have worked for Holmes,
who operated In Chicago during the
World's Fair, and killed dozens of people
to collect their life insurance, Hoch said:
"I never knew Holmes. He was a
chemist. I'm a machinist. I never did
any work for him. I've heard about him.
I've seen it printed that I was his jan
itor. It may have been a man who
looked like me, and If his name was
Hoch, that's nothing. There are lots of
Hochs." ,
He said lie had no wife at present.
HIS VENTURES ON THE COAST
Hoch Married San Francisco Woman,
and Had Other Love Affairs.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31. A San Fran
cisco woman is added to the list .of dead
wives of Johann Hoech, or Hoch, suspect
ed of wife murder in Chicago. Four
years -ago the man lived in this city. He
was married to a Miss Longhran, who
kept a bakery on Bryant street. She
died suddenly of grief, her husband said.
over their son's death. This son was
killed In January, 1900, and Mrs. Hoeck
died soon afterwards.
Later Hoeck lived at 1104 Clay street,
where he courted the landlady's daugh
ter while writing love letters to another
woman In Chicago. At the same time he
said he was engaged to a rich widow In
St. Louis, but preferred xto live In San
Francisco. He stated that he was a
Lutheran priest m the East, and later a
liquor drummer In California.

Hoch's Dead Wives.
CHICAGO. Jan. 31. Chief '"of Police
O'Neill today declared his belief that
Johann Adolph Hoch. alleged to have been
married to over a score of women, has
murdered at least 12 of them. This state
ment was made by Chief O'Neill, In a
letter written by him to Captain James
J. Langan, of the Detective Bureau of
New York. In which he requested the
Police Department of that city to follow
a clew given through an anonymous let
ter received by Inspector" of Police Shlppy
from a woman living at the Belvidere
Hotel, New York. In this letter It Is In
timated that Hoch married two New1
York women, whom he has abandoned.
An attempt was made to have Hoch
Indicted by the grand jury today on
charges of wife-abandonment and big
amy. The complainants were Mrs. Amelia
Augusta Fischer Hoch, Mrs. Anna Hen
drlckson Hoch and Mrs. Marie Goerk
Hoch. It was found, however, that in
bigamy cases the wife cannot testify
against her husband, and that witnesses
to the marriages must be secured before
action can be taken.
FIXED REFRIGERATION RATE.
Duluth Man Tells Senate How to Stop
Discrimination.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. B. M. Fergu
son, of Duluth, Minn., before the Senate
Interstate commerce committee today
spoke of alleged discrimination by rail
roads In favor of operators of refrig
erator car lines.
He offered a number of letters showing
the Impossibility of getting from rail
roads definite information as to railroad
rates on perishable goods, for the reason
that no fixed rate was given In advance
for refrigeration. He advocated the fix
ing by law of all charges In relation to
refrigeration and the publication of these
rates the same as freight schedules are
published. He favored tho plan of mak
ing It unlawful for a railroad to carry
goods In any but Its own cars, or In the
cars of other railroads.
Mr. Ferguson will conclude his state
ment tomorrow. He announced that he
would disclose the details of a secret
routing scheme which he alleged is main
tained by the railroads.
