Effort to Avoid Leak.

Secretary Wilson undoubtedly has made every possible effort to devise a plan whereby the government cotton reports should be absolutely accurate, so far as the department could make them and so arrange the tabulations that it would be impossible for any official to give out advance information or manipulate the figures, even If he were inclined to do sd. If the statements of MT. Cheatham are to be accepted, the secretary's system hss proved an utter failure, because accord ing to the accusation filed by MT. Cheat ham, the figures have been manipulated, and there is almost absolute evidence that officials have been responsible for the 'leaks.'
 MT. Cheatham said today that the doc uments which he had placed In the hands of Secretary Wilson had been prepared with the greatest care, anS they had been scrutinzed by able counsel before 1t was decided to move on the Department of Agriculture.

CHEATHAM CHARGE SERIOUS AFTER ALL Assistant Stati8tician is Tem-
 porarily Suspended EVIDENCE IS VERY STRONG Manipulation of Cotton Figures Seems Evident and Searching Investqa.
 tlon Will Be Made of
 the Charges.
EVIDENCE IS VERY STRONG

Chicago, June u.-(Special.)- Wash lngton correspondent of the Tribune says:
 While Secretary Wilson naturally is embarrassed by the Cheatham charges relating to 'leaks" in the government cotton reports, it was stated author itatively at the department of agriculture today that no one in his office or enjoy Ing close relations with him, has been named as the guilty party.
 The secretary today suspended Edwin s. Holmes, assistant statistician in the division of statistics, and the suspension was announced by IIolmest himself. who said the action was taken upon his own request
 There Is good reason to believe that others in the department may be involved before the secretary finishes the investi- gation which he has mapped out himself Reports are current that persons in New York also are involved, and secret service agents are now in that city pur- suing an inquiry.
 It developed today that the most serious charge preferred by Cheatham is that the returns from various sources which are used as a basis in the preparation of government cotton reports have been manipulated after reaching the depart ment. Chief attention has been paid so far to the alleged leaks" but it was not publicly known until today that Sec retary Wilson has been confronted with statement that the government figures had been manipulated before their off, cial publication over his signature.

bureau.

CHINESE COOK SUSPECTED.
Latest Theory in the Stanford Poison
ing Case.

Latest lheory IN the STANFORD POISON
ing Case.
San Francisco, March 4-The Call
publishes a dispatch from Honolulu
which says that Miss Bertha Berner,
who was Mrs. Stanford's secretary,
has named All Wing, a Chinese cook
who has been employed at Mrs. Stan
fOrd's home for over twenty years, as
the person whom she suspects of plac-
ing the strychnine in the bicarbonate
OF soda. All Wing, with the other
servants in the employ of Mrs. Stan
ford, are now confined in the Stanford
mansion on California street by pri-
vate detectives under orders, it is said,
of the personal attorney of Mrs, Stan
ford. They are not allowed to leave
the house and watchman is on guard
to prohibit all persons from approach
ing the dwelling.
Besides All Wing there are two
other Chinese servants and the house
keeper at present in the house.
Since the announcement was re-
ceived that strychnine had been found
in the bottle of bicarbonate detectives
have made careful search of Mrs.
Stanford's California street home and
her place in Palo Alto. At both they
have found one pound can of i'm
ported bicarbonate of soda. The can
at the PalO. Alto home had not been
opened, but from the one discovered
in the California street mansion there
had been taken a small portion, pre-
sumably the amount needed to fill the
small bottle that Mrs. Stanford carried
with her to Honolulu.
Both Of these cans have been ana
lyzed BY local chemist, who has pro-
nounced their contents absolutely free
from any kind of poison With this
knowledge in their possession the de-
tectiyes have been eager to discover
who refillad the small bottle and pos
sibly mixed the bicarbonate of soda
with strychnine.

FROM ITS INTERNAL ENEMIES.

Imperial Manifesto Calls or Country
to Defend the Throne.
st. Petersburg, March 4.-The Off
cial Messenger publishes an imperial
manifesto calling on the country to
rally round the throne in defense of
the entire from its internal enemies.
The manifesto, which reiterates Rus
sia's aspirations in the Far East and
appeals to the loyalty of the people to
turn away from sedition and support
the government in order that the
projected reforms may be carried out,
has proved profoundly disappointing
to liberals The latter believe that it
will not only aggravate the existing
critical situation but is likely to pre-
cipitate a veritable crisis in this, the
emperor's final response to the prac-
tically unanimous demand of the in
telligent classes for voice in the gov
ernment They declare that the result
can only be disastrous. Empty praises
cannot satisfy aspiration nor can re-
preston, if attempted, be successful.
Besides nothing could, in their opin-
lOll, CONE DIT nOlG luOppCiGuHS LlO-
ment, as the workmen, on the eve of
the emancipation anniversary, are in
a state Of intense excitement due to
the refusal OF the government to meet
their ultimatum and the public is al
ready convinced that General Kuropat-
kin has suffered another great defeat.
The language of the manifesto itself
1 is sufficient 10 prove that it is direct
ed at the peasant class, based upon
their traditional loyalty to the en-
.perCr and church, to stand by the gov
ernment in it's hour of trial. For the
moment the manifesto must be con-
sidered a victory for the reactionaries,
but one which can only be maintained
by their own hand of force, but the
question of Welding on the main issue
is still open even in the mind Of tho
emperor owing to the fact that M.
Witte, president of the committee Of
ministers, and the ministers them
selves have been summoned to Tsars-
koe Selo TO discuss the very subject.
