Hawaiian Complication to BE Aired

Hawaiian Complication to BE Aired.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-It begins to
looks as though the action of Commits
sioner Blount, at Honolulu, may yet
uncover some political scandals 1t Is
now alleged that the Sugar Trust con-
tributed largely to the Democratic
campaign, and is the power behind
the throne which is debating the hos
tility to Hawaiian annexation. In
deed, it is now urged, if not clearly
settled, that Mr.. Blount has exceeded
his constitutional authority, and that
he had no right to assume power over
Minister Stevens and supersede him.
1t is therefore not unlikely that these
events will lead to investigation, and
may lay bare the part the Sugar Trust
has had in the matter.

Mrs. Hambleton Still Unburicd.

Mrs. Martha Louise Hambleton still
lies in the casket at her husbands
home, in Washington, surrounded al
almost all times by groups of friends
and with her husband, DR.. James P
Hambleton, lowering ever in the neigh,
borhood. Since Saturday night al
shortly after eleven o'clock she has
been apparently dead. DR.. Hammett
the health officer, had called there dur,
ing the morning, as had considerable
number of city physicians. The almost
unanimous opinion among the physi'
clans who had looked at Mrs. Handle
ton was that she was dead, although
they sympathize with DR.. Hambleton
in his idea that his wife should not be
buried while there was the slightest
doubt as to her death. All sorts Of
tests have been tried to discover signs
of life. Whisky and nitro-gl ycerine
have been injected, and strong currents
from an electric battery have been ap,
piled, all, however, without success.
On the closest inspection no traces OF
odor could be distinguished The eyes
were slightly sunk in and the nose
pinched. The hands and feet were as
flexible as in life, and, so far as could
be seen, not the slightest sign of de-
composition had set in.
The following quotation from an emf
nent authority on cataleptic diseases
was shown by DR.. Hambleton: ''These
dangers are ever present, and as long
as physicians fail to recognize the preg-
nant fact that an advanced stage of de-
composition is the only infallible test OF
death Just as long will the human race
be menaced with the horrors of prema-
ture burial"
The above about states DR.. Handle
toms position, and his wife will be kept
at the residence until evident signs OF
decomposition set in.
DR.. Hammett, the health officer, who
made an examination of the body, had
no hesitation in pronouncing her dead.
DR.. Hammett applied the French and
other tests by incision, hypodermic in
lection of nitrc-glycerine.i
He informed DR.. Hambeton that she
was dead, but said he would give him
the benefit of his doubt, and not direct
the burial until he makes another eX-
animation to-day.
Later consultation of physicians re-
suited in the discovery of unmistal<a-
BILE evidences of decay, to which even
the doting husband cannot blind his
eyes. and at last DR.. Hambleton has be-
came convinced that his wife is dead.
1t is altogether likely that he will con-
sent to the burial of the bodyto-day.

elaborate one, and the dress of the

ton in the fashionable world. Mrs.
Hancock accompanied her husband to
the West, and bore many hardships
that she might always be near him.
Two children were born to them-Ada,
daughter. who died at the age of
nineteen. and Russell, who died at
