THE CASE OF THE CARLISLE.
British Steamer Allowed to Repair in
Manila Harbor.

Upon the advice of the Department of
State, Secretary Taft has cabled to Gov.
Gen. Wright at Manila permission for the
British steamer Carlisle to remain in Ma
Mia harbor until she has made necessary
repairs to her machinery. Therefore the
United States government itself is re-
sponsible for the safety of the ship against
any attack by Japanese, either on warships
or torpedo boats, or from sampans or shore
boats.
The status of this steamship is peculiar.
and in adopting this attitude in answer to
the appeal of the ships captain the State
Department has added another and new
construction of International law relative
to rights of belligerent ships in neutral
harbors to the several cases developed by
this war
The Carlisle, in the first place, is a Brit
ish ship, and consequently of neutral own
ership But she was chartered by the Rus
sian government and loaded with arms,
ammunition and food supplies for the Rus
sian garrison at Port Arthur. She sailed
from Vladivostok November 20 Of last
year while the harbor was clear OF ice
and the garrison at Port Arthur was still
holding out.
The Japanese blockade around the fort
ress was effective. and the Carlisle was in
the unpleasant position of being unable to
make landing there. and at the same
time could not return to Vladivostok,
where Admiral Kamimura had also estab-
lshed blockade.
There was no other Russian harbor In
that quarter of the world. so that all that
could be done by the captain, of the Car
Isle was to Turk outside the blockade lines
awaiting a chance to slip throu III. But
while he was 300 miles east of Yokohama
the Carlisle lost her propeller and lay help
less for many days.
Finally sail was made on her and the ship
was worked into the harbor of San Miguel
on the east coast of Luzon. The captain
and the surpercargo. the latter Russian
proceeded to Manila and sought protection
for their ship.
The State Department was consulted by
cable and recommended granting the re-
quest, so the Carlisle was towed to Manila
where she could be more carefully watched
The point of interest is what shall be done
with the ship when her repairs are COM
plete. but 1t is probable that as Japanese
warships are reported to be lying in wait
Tor her outside Manila harbor she will be
permitted to intern on the same conditions
as were imposed in the case of the Lena at
San Francisco.

DUE TO sTRYcHNINE POISONING
Authorities Positive of Cause of Mrs.
Sanford's Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The Call
says today that the local authorities have
now positive assurance, in the form of in
formation by, cable from Honolulu. that
Mrs Stanford's death was directly due to
strychnine poisoning. This cable contain
ed it is said, a synopsis of the report of
the chemists who had been engaged for the
last three days in Analysing the stomach
and other organs Of the deceased. The
stomach, kidneys and heart were found
upon examination. it Is said, to be in
very healthy condition and much above
those of the average woman of Mrs. STAN
ford's age. ...,,r-r,..,.
There was, however, a swelling of the
heart that the report says, would only be
produced in death resulting from strych-
nine poison. No trace of strychnine was
found by the chemists in the stomach. yet
all agree that there is no longer any doubt
of the cause of the death of Mrs Stanford
and that the autopsy has failed to reveal
indications that would suggest any other
cause for death than strychnine poison
ing The experts findings, according to the
Calls statement are also to the effect that
analysis of the contents of the bottle of
bicarbonate of soda from which Mrs STAN
ford took the potion shows that the strych-
nine was mixed all through the contents.
Not Due to Acute Indigestion.
The Examiner today publishes Honolulu
dispatch to the effect that poisoning is indi-
Gated by thick fluid blood found in the in
testines by the surgeons who performed the
autopsy on Mrs. Stanford's body. The au-
topsy also, it is said, showed that the
stomach contained only water, which
proves, it is claimed. that death was not
due to acute indigestion.
Troubles in Stanford Household.
PAI.O ALTO, Cal, March 6.-Miss Eliza
beth Richmond has admitted that troubles
had existed in the Stanford household
among the retainers. The private detec-
tives have been working to ascertain
whether they might not have been directly
OF indirectly the cause of the attempted
poisoning.
"Jealousies existed in the Stanford house,
hold among the employees" said Miss Rich
mond, but ! cannot exactly term them
an open rupture.
Stanford Clergyman Dying.
While impressive services in honor of
the memory of Mrs. Stanford were being
conducted In the Memorial Church. Chap
lain Gardner, preacher at the university
and favorite minister of Mrs. Stanford,
was lying at his home in the campus al
most at deaths door with typhoid fever
His condition is serious that his phy-
sicians deem 1t unwise to inform him cf
Mrs. Stanford's death. 1t had. been Mrs
Stanford's wish that in the event of hsr
death the Rev. Gardner should officiate at
the funeral services.

For some reason-perhaps it was due to
the reaction from the inaugural distrac-
tfons--there was no large amount of
business done at todays meeting OF the
stock exchange, Orders to buy or to sell
were not generally in evidence, so that
while there was no special demand,
neither was there any pressure to sell.
For the first quarter of an hour or so.
while those members who were not mindful
of the recently revived rule to begin

call went on and the volunteer board boy
had but few changes to note in the quota
tions. Mr.. Henry Hurt, who took the place
of the belated boy, stood. chalk in hand

Some odd lots sold for II and one lot sold
for 1871 and several for 16A. The stock
