POISON IN CHAMPAGNE.
New Workers Escape Death by Merest
Chance.


New York, March 17-Detectives in
New York and several members of Chi
cago detective agencies have been at
work attempting to discover mysteri-
Gus person who sent to John G. Fisher,
we'll known theatrical manager of
this city, quart bottle of champagne
charged with enough hydrocyanic acid
and strychnine to kill instantly 100
men.
1t was only by the merest chance
that Mr.. Fisher and friends escaped
death. The bottle was opened and
the contents poured into glasses be-
fore it was noticed that it had a pecu-
liar look and smell.
Mr.. Fisher had the contents of the
bottle analysed and it was found that
the wine contained 2.011 grains of
hydrocyanic acid to the fluid ounce
and 22.4564 grains of strychnine, or
enough of the two poisons to have pro-
duced sudden death had any of the
champagne been even touched to the
tongue.
A young and handsome woman fig
ures conspicuously in the case. Ac-
cording to creditable information this
young woman took the poison package
warded it in person.
A motive has been established and
it duplicates a woman and possibly a
man. Whom Mr.. Fisher suspects he
will not say at this time, but he init
mates that developments may be ex-
pected any day in Chicago.

HOTBED OF INTRIGUE.
Spies Watching All Strangers in Sofia,
Bulgaria.

New York, March 18.-Reports from
Macedonia are so contradictory that
all forecasts are unsafe, says the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune.
Some advices from Sofia point to
transition period of four or five weeks.
1t may then be discovered that re-
forms have been ineffective and that
the Indignation of the Bulgarians can
not be longer restrained. A crisis at
the end of the month is evidently eX-
pected in Sofia as we'll as in Belgrade.
Sofia at present is the hotbed of in
trigue and unrest. Every stranger is
under police surveillance and he is
watched by spies from hour to hour.
Turkish, Bulgarian and Russian Off
Gals are employing informers and re-
ceiving reports of what is going on
among the refugees and revolutionists.
War in the Balkans could not be avert
ed if the pressure of the Russian and
Austrian governments were removed
for a. single week.

Hurricane Devastates Group of South
Pacific Islands.
Papeete, March 4, via San Fran
cisco, March 1S.-The latest news rel
ative to the hurricane in Tuamotu, or
Low Archipelago, indicates that the
fatalities will number 600 and the prop
erty loss will amount to 100000. Re-
lief measures have been instituted.
The hurricane and high water lasted
during Jan. IA, Is and Is. At Hikuera,
377 deaths occurred, in most instances
among visitors from other islands So
journing there during the diving sea-
son.
One hundred and forty-two deaths
are reported from six other small ISL
ands. In this report there is no record
of the known dead and it is believed
that the total number of fatalities in
the entire archipelago was not less
than 900.
On the isle south of Hikuera 262 ma
tives persisted, being swept into the
lagoon and again into the great sea,
lacerated terribly by the contact with
rock coral and debris of all sorts.

PHILADELPHIA AUTHORITIES OR.

Affair Assuming Proportions Far Be-

Connected With 1t at the Time of
His Arrest-Letters Found Among

Commission of Many Crimes.

Philadelphia, March 17-Seventy
letters, written mostly by women, have
been found in the home of George
Hossey, the negro herb doctor"
who is accused of being an accessory
to the alleged murder of William G.
Dame.
These letters, which are said to be
of an discriminating nature, vary little
in their terms, and, it is asserted, show
that Hossey charged 500 for every
case. Some of the letters point to
payment of the fee in installments.
The police authorities have directed
the opening of thirty-four graves, hav-
ing secured evidence which leads them
to believe that Hossey, in responsible
for at least that many deaths.
1--WE do not know how many poison
ing cases can be traced to Hossey,"
said police official. This case is
assuming proportions far beyond the
comprehension of those connected with
it at the time Hossey was arrested.
Before the investigation proceeds much
further startling developments will
crop up. There may be several ar
rests after bodies are exhumed and
have been examined by the chemists
Detectives are searching for white
woman who is alleged to have repre-
sented Hossey in the preliminary deal
ings with his patrons. Il

RIVER SITUATION CRITICAL.

Washington, March 18.-The river
situation in the Memphis district has
become critical. The stage is 1914, a
rise of .5 since Monday morning and
IL feet above the high water stage of
1898. Unofficial reports of the break
ing of leVees north of Memphis have
been received. These breaks, if extern
sive, will doubtless modify the condi-
items somewhat. Nevertheless fur
Their rise to 40 feet or slightly over
may be expected at Memphis within

stage at Vicksburg is 40 feet, rise
of 2 foot, while at New Orleans the
river is stationary at 1872 feet. The
Louisiana tributaries continue to rise,
the Shreveport guage recording 31.S
feet. The Ohio is falling.

ROYALTY INTERESTED.
Wright Has Powerful Protection in In.
fIuential Quarter.

TluenttaI sudftSF.
London, March 17.-John Flower,
chairman of the shareholders commit
tee which instigated the prosecution
of Whitaker Wright, the director of
the London and Globe Finance cor
peration, who was arrested Sunday on
his arrival at New York from France,
says: *f.E -"* 49,.
Il see Wright is, quoted as saying
he had, a powerful protector in an ex-
allied quarter. That statement is not
new to us. 1t is the keynote of the
whole case. Prior to the failure of the
London and Globe certain persons
maintain Wright had in his possession
letters from leading members of the
English royal family showing they
were mixed up in his transactions.
We have no documentary proof of this.
Wright himself is probably the only
man in the world who could prove it.
If he has such letters they ought now
to be in the possession of the New
York police, as we suppose they
searched his effects, and Wright is
not likely to let such a powerful weap-
on of defense out of his personal keep
ing Within few weeks the chief is
sue in the Wright case will be the
question of the completely, or other
wise, of the most exalted persOnages
in the empire in Wright's financial and
other schemes. We do not anticipate
any difficulty in obtaining his eXtradi-
ton, but if what Wright's friends
maintain turns out to be true his gen.
uine prosecution will become
An Extremely Delicate Matter.
We believe, however, that the lawyers
at present engaged will sift the matter
to the bottom regardless of any con-
siderations."
Referring to the interview with
Wright published in the New York
Herald Mr.. Flower said:
81 quite sympathize with Wright
when he says the failure of the London
and Globe was due to the treachery of
others. There is no doubt of that.
But it must be remembered that for
three months prior to the failure,
which Wright says was directly due
to treachery, the London and Globe
had not a cent in its locker, yet 1t
was doing over half million pounds
sterling in speculation at every settle
ment. The governments decision that
the directors as body could not be
proceeded against does not prevent
Wright, as the prime factor in the
rotten conditions which existed before
the failure, being made to take the
responsibility"
Attorney General Finley, in the
house of commons, said the crown
would pay the cost of the extradition
of Wright and the payment by the
crown of the whole expenses of the
proceedings would be considered. His
prosecution, however, would be left in
the hands of the official receiver of the
London and Globe corporation.

ing strengthened as rapidly as posi-
he. Some weak places are reported.

HEAD OF LONDON AND GLOBE
CORPORATION ARRAIGNED. IN
O., NEW YORK CITY.
MAY NOT FIGHT EXTRADITION

Proceedings on the Part of the Brit
ish Government-Denies That He Is
Fugitive From Justice.
New York, March 17.-Whitaker
Wright, arrested Sunday at the request
of the London police, was arraigned
during the day before United States
Commissioner Alexander and the hear
ing was adjourned until Wednesday.
Sir Percy Sanderson, British consul
general, was present at the hearing,
accompanied by Charles Fox, the legal
adviser of the consulate. Maurice
Untermeyer appeared for the prisoner
and said he was ready to proceed.
Asked whether he waived examination
Mr.. Untermeyer replied:
"On the contrary, and I wish to add
that my client states that personally
he would take steamer Immediately
for England and answer these charges,
but on the advice of counsel he will
wait further proceedings on the part
of the British government. Mr.. Wright
also denies that he is fugitive from
justice. He has been absent from Eng.
land three weeks in Paris, but insists
that he is not fugitive from Justice"
Mr.. Fox asked for an adjournment
for two weeks pending the arrival of
papers from England. This was op-
posed by counsel for the prisoner who,
after consulting his client, said:
81 think an adjournment until
Wednesday will be sufficient. Mr..
Wright insists he is willing to return
to England at once"
Commissioner Alexander then set
the hearing for Wednesday. Nothing
was said about bail for the prisoner.
When asked directly whether Mr..
Wright was going to waive extradition
Mr.. Untermeyef said the adjournment
was taken that they might consider
what they would do.
The formal complaint against Wright
charges him with fraud in publishing
false statements of accounts of the
London and Globe corporation.
