ing is to be 81 feet from Court street.

Honolulu, March 1S.-Edmund
Shorey, chemist of the United States
agricultural station, and Drs Wood,
Murray and Humphries have signed
statement replying to Professors
Jordan and Timothy Hopkins, who
recently announced their conclusions
that the death OF Mrs. Stanford was
due to natural causes. They charac-
terize the statement of these gentle
men as astonishing, and reiterate
their finding that strychnine was the
cause of the death. They say that
the publication of the Jordan-H Hop
kins opinion makes it incumbent up
on them to reply, and they give the
following reasons why the death must
have resulted from strychnine pois-
oning
First-Mrs. Stanford died during
characteristic strychnine convulsion,
which was seen by Drs. Humphries
and Murray.
Second--A post-mortem showed
rigidity identical with that peculiar
to cases of this class of poisoning.
Third-The post-mortem revealed
no olher cause Oh uedll, from any
affection of the stomach or intestines.
They contained no undigested food
and were in a healthy condition.
Fourth-The post-mortem confirm
ed in every respect the evidence of
authenticated cases of strychnine
poisoning, and these combined with
the fact that strychnne was found in
the bicarbonate of soda which was
used by the deceased, furnish a chain
of evidence that will withstand the
fiercest assaults.

airy powers. Among the speakers are
Ida Tarbell, Frank Monnett, ex-attor-
ney general of Ohio, Governor Hoch

brought about federal investigation

Shows Decentralization.

Toxic March 1S.-The evacuation
of Tie Ling by the Russians was
great surprise to the military experts
here Considering the advantages the
position offered, they believed its
surrender shows the decentralization
of the Russian army. There is no
place beyond offering as many ad-
vantages as Tie Ling. In the opin-
ion of the experts it is doubtful If
Harbin can afford an effective stand.
