THE .SIORNiyQ OREGONIA SATURDAY, -MAKCH II7- 1905. BiLLS PASSED BY NINTH WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE - IN DEADLY DREAD Mrs, Chad wigk Breaking Down '" Under Strain. LAWYER ARRAIGNS METHODS Wjio'lo .Day Devoted., tK Arguments iWhich "Almost -Destroy Woman's "f, Last Jope-Case Goes to - the Jury Toiiay. " C&EV&IiAKD, March lo.-Saturday -will see the 'Close. of the present, trial of Mrs. Ohadvvick, and- the easel' wjll frobably be given to the Jury, some : time during the afternoon. Just before adjourning court 'for the dayv Judge Tayler .said It was his Intention 'to keep at the pres ent case until it has been 'finished, and he directed that all other court business toe postponed until Monday morning'. The entire day was. given over to argu ments, half of the total number having bin Innoscd of. Assistant District At torney Thomas JL Garry spoke in the morning and Judge wing, lor airs, -naa-wick, took up allot the afternoon with the exception of one-halt 'hour Just before the adjournment -of court. This timG was taken by J. P- DawleyN senior counsel for th defense, who is Jto deliver tb6 main argument for-3Irs. Chad wick. After him will come District Attorney Bumvan, who will clce for the Government. The latter Is not given to extended, speeches, but It-is believed that both he and Mr. DawJey will require more time than one session of the court for all they wish to say. , . It was-a trying day for Mrs. Chadwick, and her pale 'face and nervous manner showed' that the strain of the trial Is telling on her. During the greater part of the afternoon she' sat back In her chair as if greatly exhausted. The attack made by Mr. Garry upon her financial methods disturbed her greatly. When he showed the Jury by her checks tliat without hav ing any money In the bank she had se cured loans amounting to $157,000, and 5104,000 of It on one day. when the total amount which the bank could legally loan to one person was but $6000. the prisoner sank back In her chair as if she believed that the statements of the attorney must have great effect on the - minds of the jurymen. She was greatly discour aged at the time of the midday adjourn' raent and said: "I have about given up all hope. I haven't any chance In this court." During theafternoon, when her own at torneys were making' arguments, she brightened up very much. Andrew Carnegie Goes Home. CLEVELAND, March 10. Andrew Carnegie left for New xork this after noon. He came to Cleveland Saturday, having been subpenacd as a witness in the trial of Mrs. Chadwick. though he was not called on to testify. - PJXt, IS BITTER. fConUjucd from First Pag. Immediate result chiefly dreaded Is the effect on internal disorders, not only In the capital, but also, since St. Petersburg Is not Russia, among the millions of peewit n- vtist agricultural regions. among whom the spirit of revolt is in cubating and already has hatched pil lage and arson In a fow districts. It is believed, however, that the government Is able to nip the uprising In the bud and prevent radicals in the cities from bring ing oft anything more than demonstra tions, and talk of revolution, aside from the peaceful revolution .which has been under way In the last six months, is scouted in well-informed quarters. .Outwardly, St. Petersburg takes the de feat unconcernedly. A stranger in the streets woujd never know. that armies defending the honor and prestige of Rus sia" had just sustained a crushing reverse, There were no crowds last night, no dem onstrations, no change in the ordinary street life. Newsboys were hawking xtras on the streets, but there was noth ing. to indicate that the extras were more Important than those in which, for a year. General Kuropatkin's dispatches have been issued. The government made no attempt to palliate the shock or ex plain the significance of the rotreat, but simply sent Ihe dispatch, when it was Is sued by the general staff late in the-eve ning, direct to the papers with atnhori zation to "print. At the clubs and in pri vate houses, however, the situation was discussed and rediscussed, conjecture jud- cd to fact, and the inx'ariable query was "What further?" Liberals Drink to "New Russia." One circle of liberals, on receiving the news, called for wine and solemnly pledged "New Russia." But generally the defeat cuts deeply and Is keenly felt, especially by families represented In the endangered army. The spirit of unpatriotic exultation will do the Liberals no good at this time. As the de feat, which one Russian correspondent de scribes as "slaughter, not battle." entails the sacrifice of so many thousands of Russian lives the people fear to count up their losses. It is realized that in the fighting before Mukdon 'was evacuated the deathrbll'.bf the battle of Shakhe must have been-faj exceeded, and in the streets ofSt. Petersburg every third woman years erf p. BATTLE SUSPENDED BY STORM But Japanese Continue to Draw Ring Around Russians HUKDEX. Thursday, March 9 (mid ntslitj. filed at i'yA. M.. Marqh 3Gl Na ture today raised Iier- hand acalnsti-the wholesale slaughter west -and "northwest of Mukden, the hurricane of wind which has been raging' since morning having raised a Winding .dust storm upon the "broad, flat Llao River. Valley. In which it was Impossible at times to see -at instance of 200 paces. Unable to distin gulsh objectives, both armies necessarily ceased to a, large extent their artillery nd rifle fire, and a strange boding of quiet reigned along the western and northern fronts There Is lrong. reason to believe, how ever, that the Japanese columns spent the day a, .an unlntermlttent movement northward, to occupy positions for a still more vigorous attack on the railroad the minute the storm clears. The situation is too extremely serious to discuss, and owing to the censorship Jn the mails can not be given but In general. , The lines -held by the Japanese yester day west ad northwest were as follows; Beginning . at the village of Suhetun. on tie Hun River, and running north through the village 6f Ldfguyantun, six miles west of Mukden railroad station, toTatchie "kiao. then turning northwest along the Valley of tthe Pu River to the villus of tCdudyaturi'nl&e miles north-northeast of Mukden ana.
