San Francisco, March 3.-The re
ceipt yesterday by the acting chief OF
police of a cablegram from High
Sheriff Henry of Honolulu, stating that
there were no less than 662 grains OF
strychnine in the bottle of bicarbonate
of soda from which Mrs. Jane Stanford
took a dose shortly before her death,
has aroused the detective force of this
city and every effort is being made to
discover who placed the poison in the
medicine. The police believe the b1~
carbonate of soda and the strychnine
were purchased here and secretly
dropped into the bottle by a person
connected with the Stanford house
hold.
DR., w G. Stevens, a medical eX-
pert, yesterday made this positive
statement:
Would Kill a Regiment.
Six hundred and sixty-two grains OF
strychnine easily would kill 662 per-
sons. The maximum Jose admins
tered is only one-ffteenth of a grain,
while the average is one fortieth of q
grain"
The finding of the large amount OF
poison in the bicarbonate bottle
puzzles Mrs. Stanfords relatives and
attorneys in this city. Mountford S,
Wilson, her chief counsel, and G. G.
Lathrop, her brother, declined to make
any statement until they had received
direct advices froL Honolulu. They
held an extended conference with D.
o. Mills, but would not discuss the mat
ter under consideration, though it is
minated that Mrs. Stanford's will was
mentioned.
Servants Not Under Surveillance.
Honolulu. March 3.-High Sheriff
Henry denies a rumor in circulation
that Miss Bertha Berner, Mrs. Stan
ford's secretary, and Mamie Hunt, her
maid, are under surveillance.
Once Lived in Wisconsin.
Port Washington, Wis, March g.
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, the
wealthy woman who has Just died OF

Leland Stanford, the multi-million,
;ire railway magnate. was for six
years a poor lawyer in Port Washing
on. He borrowed $50 of Charles Mil
Ter of West Bend to meet the expenses
OF trip to Albany, N. Y, to claim his
bride.
The story Of his ascension of the
ladder of fortune is familiar to all.
He died a dozen years ago, worth $50,

The world knows that through this
powerful organization the price of
spot cotton was advanced to ten cents
in the south on July 3 just five months
later. Not only this but the assist
ance given the Bear" operators by
certain officials in the United States
Department OF Agriculture was ex-
posed through the efforts Of the as
sociation and the rascals were
promptly turned out. This work has
already saved millions of dollars to
the south and will continue to do so
if fostered and maintained by the peo-
pie. If the south could advance the
price of 100000 bale crop from 6
cents to 10 cents, clearly it would re-
quire but a little cooperative effort
to secure not less than eleven cents
for a 100000 bale crop.
Let the people know the truth,
know the power of their strength and
then let them act promptly and the
victory for higher prices will soon be
won, then their great staple will be
selling at it's real value to the world.

Portrait Of General Robert E. Lee.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The fact that too frequently it
transpires in American history that
no accurate and authentic portrait Of
her great men is faithfully preserved
has caused a number of the devoted
admirers of General Robert E. Lee
to interest themselves to cause per-
feet picture of the great General to be
made and to be preserved for all fu-
tnre history.
This work after a lapse of forty
years, is now under way by the John
A. Lowell Bank Note company OF
Boston, who are using for this pur-
pose the exact photograph made at
General Lees residence in Richmond
few days after the surrender, which
picture has always been considered
BY the Lee family and friends as the
most perfect likeness ever taken Of
the General at that period.
The work, when finished, will be Of
the highest art of steel engraving, so
that it will thus be. preserved for all
future time.

The new management relies upon
the conservative action Of those con-

but one step in the scheme of reor-

servative and patient it is the opinion
of the best informed that the situation

put forth to keep the matter out of
