POISONING OF MRS. DUNNING
HER FRIENDS UNABLE TO
SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
People In San Francisco Do Not Be-
lieve It Was Intentional, as Mrs.
Dunning Had No Enemies.
San Francisco. Aug

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-None of the
many friends and acquaintance in this
city Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Preston Dun
ming can offer any plaus IDLE informal on
why any one in San Francisco should
send poisoned chocolates to Dover. Del,
from the eating of which candies Mrs
Dunning and her sister died.
Arguing upon the theory that the
tragedy was the result of a carefully
planned act on the part of some one
who desired TO take Mrs. Cummings life,
the deceased'S friends here are unable
TO suggest any reasonable motive. Nor
can anyone offer any cIew to the mys-
ferrous poisoning. On the contrary the
suggestion that the poisoning was in
territorial is secuted by those who know
Mrs. Dunning, all of whom say she was
never known even TO arouse antagon-
ism. much less to create an enmity. Nor
so far as can be learned, had Mr.. Dun
ming any personal or business foes who
could have attempted such a dastardly
revenge upon member of his family.
The more the case is considered, the
more prominent is the conclusion that
poisoning must have been accidental.
The fact that handkerchief was sent
as a gift to Mrs. Cummings daughter
simultaneously with the present of
chocolates to the mother is cited as
an indication that the candies came
from a friend.
If this supposition is correct the DON
or, appalled, by the dreadful conse-
quences of the gift, is carefully con-
cealing his or her identity. The Mrs.
c." stamped upon the wrapper of the
box of candy has not materialized in
this city. although the police hope that
if there is such person, she will come
forward and solve the mystery.
The statement that the wrapper of
the candy box was postmarked San
Francisco puzzles the mail authorities
here. 1t is not the custom to poStmark
third class mail, the stamps simply be-
ing Cancelled
The possibility that the candies could
have been accidentally poisoned at the |
time of manufacture is denied by local |
confectioners, who say that even if the |
practice of using coloring mat
ter in the making of chocolates had |
been followed in this case the swallow |
ing of the entire amount of coloring or
dye for a 50-pOund batch of painted |
candy would have been no mere serious /
in result than a days illness.
The result of the chemical analysis of
the uneaten candy in the box is anx-
iously awaited. in the hope that the
character of the poison may throw
some possible light upon the mystery
which continues to remain apparently

the total net gold up to 1926, 1874. 1874. Consid-
cradle of the increase is due to the pay

additions from the same cause will result.
With view to disbursing some of the yell
low metal the secretary of the treasury has
offered to redeem the $14,O0O,OOO odd currency

to anticipate the October interest on the
four-per-cents. If the latter offer is taken
advantage of, it will ahat RIB about $500, 900.

currency skies redeemed, would require

have been presented for redemption but
enough data is not yet available at the de-
partment to indicate whether the holders
generally will be willing in advance to part
with their bonds, which pay a good rate of

ANNEXATION IMPROBABLE.
British West Indies still Undecided
ON Their Future.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 9.-The con-
ference of West Indian representatives at
the Island of Barbados passed a resolu-
ton formally demanding aid from the
British home government as a matter of
right, as being the only available remedy
for the industrial crisis, and also demand
ed the adoption of measures either for the
exclusion of bounty-fed sugar from the
English market or the enforcement of coun-
tervaling duties No ultimatum looking
to American annexation was adopted, al
though the question was incidentally dis
cussed as possible future contingency to
effect Cuban and Porto Rican competition
in the American market should Great
Britain conclusively render the relief de-
manded. The question of annexation to
Canada was not mentioned, and the Ja-
maican delegate, in an interview, declares
that while annexation to the United States
is improbable the transference of the
British West indian islands to Canada is
impracticable. besides promising no relief.

REVIEWED by THE GOVERNOR.
A Speech Made to the Men After the
Review.

The most interesting event of the last day
in camp was the review of the One-hun-
dred- and-fifty-seventh Regiment by Gov
ernor Mount yesterday afternoon at 1870
O'Clock. The Governor has been i'll for sew
eral days and it was feared that he might
not be able to review the regiment before
its furlough. His physician, however, per-
mitted him to drive to the camp after warn
ing him not to speak at any length. 1t was
AIS O'Clock when the Governor, accompanied
by Mrs Mount and Dr. o. S. Runnels, chief
surgeon on the Governors staff, and Mrs.
Runnels drove up in front of the colonel's
headquarters. While the regiment was form
ing the Governors party was entertained
at the colonels headquarters. Among other
visitors at the camp were Senator Fair
banks and family and Rev. j. A. Milburn.
The largest crowd that has yet witnessed
the evolutions of the regiment on the parade
ground pressed down against the guard line
while outside it were several hundred peo-
pie In carriages. The regiment formed
across the north end of the parade ground
in double rank by battalions. after which

in separate towns, all the members of them
being residents of one place. In mastering
them into the federal service, however.
many were rejected and their places taken
in many cases by men secured from differ
ent towns. 1t is probable that all the men,
berS of the old militia who desire to re-en-
list in the National Guard will be allowed
to do so as individuals, and the fact that
man has been rejected by the United States

him out of the state service. An effort will
be made, however. to keep out the boy ele--
ment from the muster rolls. 1t is desired
to have strong, healthy men, who can, If
need be, do a mans service for the State.

The rest of the happening is best told in
the mothers own words. She said:
"On the 2Sth of Sept. 1896, while in the

severely afflicted with spinal meningitis.

became feeble and suffered from paralytic
stroke which twisted her head back to the side
and made it impossible for her to move q limb.
Her speech however was not affected. We
called in our family doctor, one of the most
experienced and successful practitioners in
the city. He considered the case q very grave
