JORDAN HOPKINS STATEMENT.
Version That Has Aroused the Chem
ist and Physicians.

The following is the statement Presi-
dent Jordan and Tin1othy1Hopkins is
sued before their departure from
Honolulu. that is now likely to be the
cause of an interesting controversy:
In .our Judgment, after a.,careful consider
alton of all the facts brought to our knowl-
edge are fully convinced that the death OF
Mrs Stanford was not due to strychnine pois-
oning to intentional wrongdoing on the
part OF any
We find in the statements of those who
were with Mrs. Stanford in her last moments
no evidence that any of the characteristic
symptoms of strychnine poisoning were pres
ent.
We think it probable that death was due
to a combination of conditions and circurn-
stances Among these may note in con-
nection with her advanced age the unaccus-
toned exertion the surfeit of unsuitable food
and the unusual exposure during the picnic to
which she went on the day of her death
These conditions were perhaps somew what
aggravated by the presence of strychnine and
other drugs in the medicinal capsule and pos
of strychnine contained in the dose of bicar-
Donate OF soda.
The occurrence of this strychnine in the BIZ
carbonate of soda has not yet been explained.
The facte that 1t was not in excess of usual
medicinal proportions suggests that Its pres
macist or else that the combination was pre-
pared for tonic purposes.
We must recognize that the preliminary hy-
pothesis of accidental poisoning seemed a nat
ural one under the extraordinary circum-
stances. We regard it, however, as being
without foundation. and wholly incompa tibie
with the evidence in our possession.

Determined to Clear
Up Poland Water
Mystery.

Mountford S. Wilson, attorney for
the Stanford estate, was not disposed
yesterday to enter into the controversy
between DIR. Jordan and Timothy Hop
kris on the one hand and the doctors
and officials of Honolulu on the other.
He will wait until the return of De-
teotives Callu1dan and Reynolds with
the transcripts of testimony taken at
the inquest and the statements of evil
dence collected in the island metrop-
oils.
We are still proceeding with our in
vestigations in this city with all energy
possible" he declared. No expense
viii be spared in the hiring of the best
detective talent in the effort to solve
the battling mystery. For the time be-
lDg the detectives are engaged with the
Poland water poisoning in this city.
Morse's men and the City Police De-
partment are still hard at work.
II it is made clear that Mrs. STAN
ford died at Honolulu as the result of
murderous plot we shall have the
Investigations pursued till the culprit
is brought to justice. | will say that
| am unable to account for the pres
ence of the strychnine in the bicar-
Donate of soda, of which Mrs. Stanford
partook shortly before her death at
the Moana Hotel.
If it develops that she was not
poisoned in Honolulu, the duty will re-
main of solving the poisoning mystery
of January IA in this city. No matter
the conclusion in the Honolulu case,
there will be the case Of attempted
murder in this city and we shall not
give UP until the guilty person or per-
sons are made to account to the law.
The Investigations of the poisoning
theory along the lines of either the two
cases or the one case will be continued
with every resource and all effort in
our power

PEACE NOT POSSIBLE.
Gar Is Firmly Determined to Con-
tinue the Conflict.

ST PETERSBURG, March IT,
Many interesting stories of occurrences
at Tsarskoe- -Selo are current in st. Pc
tersburg drawings-rooms, where some
times court news first leak out. The
most important statement is that EN-
peror William early this week strongly
advised Emperor Nicholas to conclude
peace and rendered his good Offices
The Russian Emperor is declared to
have declined, answering that it was
impossible under the pSsent circum
stances According to the story M. de
Witte, president of the Committee of
Ministers, was present at the Alexan-
der palace when Emperor William S
message was received and Emperor
Nicholas asked his opinion. NJ. Witte
is reported to have replied that he was
ready to implore his Majesty on bended
knees to accept the advice, whereupon
Emperor Nicholas showed great dis
pleasure, and M. Witte again requested
to be relieved of his functions as presi-
dent of the Committee of Ministers.
According to another story, M. Pan
name, the Emperor's drawing master a
real court favorite, is credited with
writing the last manifesto.
Still another story is to the effect
that when General StSessel lunched
with the Emperor his Majesty did not
ask a single question about Port Ar
thur. So far as the Pannane story is
concerned it is known to be the veriest
aonsense, and the others probably are
emily idle gossip in which st. Peters
burg likes to indulge. In view of the
alarming reports about the peasant
agitation small bodies of troops have
been dispatched from Moscow and
other centers for emergency purposes
to the districts affected
The mobilization order, it is expected,
i'll call out the second reserves in
ny districts.

Captain Burnett to
Form His Own
Conclusions.

i am not to be drawn into any con-
troversy as to what caused the death
of Mrs. Stanford at Honolulu
Captain Burnett, head of the city's
detective department. was emphatic in
manner and speech when he made this
statement yesterday.
1t makes no difference to me-" he
continued, what the officials and doc
tors OF Honolulu or what President
Jordan and Timothy Hopkins have to
say about it. 1 am awaiting the return
of Detectives Reynolds and Callundan
with the evidence they gathered in the
islands and L shall be guided solely by
the light they will be able to give me.
Then the captain explained that he
had concerned himself thus far with
the Poland water poisoning in this
city and that investigation toward un-
raveling the Honolulu mystery had
beer merely incidental.
Burnett declared it to be untrue that
the representatives of the Stanford
estate have sought TO hush up the
murder theory.
In all my numerous conversations
with Attorney Mountford WILSON," as
serted the captain, "he has insisted
vigorously that no stone be left un-
turned to solve the mystery and to
prosecute the guilty party. His wishes
applied to both the Honolulu and the
San Francisco poison cases."
Opinions of President Jordan, Tim
othy Hopkins or of any other Stanford
representative to the contrary not
withstanding. Captain Burnett says he
will arrive at his own opinion from the
facts that will be available. He de-
olares that he is acting altogether in
dependently of the Stanford represen-
tatives and will arrive at his own con-
clusions irrespective of what attitude.
they may assume.

LOANS. BEING NEGOTIATED.
Russia and Japan Trying to Raise the
Sinews OF War.

SinewS OF War.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 17.-An
internal credit loan of s100,000,000 on
a per cent basis is now being nego-
tiated by the Ministry of Finance. The
loan will be fioated probably in
short time. The price of issuance has
not been determined upon, but proba-
ply will be SO to 95. The issuance
of this loan is entirely independent of
the French negotiations, which have
not yet been concluded. Domestic
rentes will be issued for a long term
and Will, as in the case of the Internal
credit loan, not be subject to the OBJ
legations of foreign loans. The pay
ment of the interest and principal Will
De in gold and probably viii be tax
able. The determination of the Gov
ernment to turn to Russia itself for
FUNDS was taken only recently. Yes
terday the Minister OF Finance con-
ferred with number of the principal
bankers OF st. Petersburg and Russia
generally and received the assurance
that the project was feasible The
ranks are prepared to underwrite on
suitable terms. The Government say
-ngs bank, il is said, will assume s2o,-
1000 of the total, and such finan-
chant, Volga and the Kama banks are
.ell able to underwrite large portions
Of the loan from their resources. A
director of prominent bank said
hat the banks of Russia could if re-
.uired take the bonds and hold them
N their own vaults. Questioned about
che price, ne declared that "93 would
oe very cheap" but he said the condi-
ions on that point had not yet been
determined. Practically the loan is
similar in terms to the one issued last
fall, which was fully subscribed for
n half an hour.
BERLIN, March II. Inquiries
made of bankers here fail to confirm
the report that Japan has actually be-
gun negotiations for a loan in Berlin.
A similar report appears TO have aris-
en- simultaneously in London, Paris,
Berlin and New York. Although no
negotiations have yet begun Japan is
probably testing the feeling of Ger
many toward a loan. The German
Government does not seem opposed
10 the project because Chancellor Won
Bulow to-day, replying to criticism
of Germany taking the last Russian
loan, said it was merely a private
matter and in the same way Japan
was providing to obtain a loan.
The Frankfurter Zeitung advises
against investigating or speculating in
Japanese international bonds, some of
which have reached Frankfort, Lon
don and Paris.
NEW YORK, March 17.-n salts
factory terms are agreed on New York
bankers will participate with German
financiers in arranging the proposed
Japanese loan. ~

Means Guarantee that Homei Will
Cure the Worst Case Of Catarrh in
Augusta.

When two of the most reputable
druggists in Augusta guarantee that
a medicine will effect cure or they
will refund the money. it speaks volumes
as to the merits of that remedy. 1t is
in this way that Bowditch & Webster
and Percy w. Means are selling Hyo-
mel. the treatment that has made so
MANY cures of both acute and chronic
cases of catarrh in Augusta and vicin-
ity.
Hyomei is not a pill. nor is it a
LIQUID that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe
it by the aid of an inhaler that comes
with every outfit. and benefit will be
seen from the first treatment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.OO. and it includes an inhaler.
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for sew
eral weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, Bowditch & Webster and

ey. This is a good time to cure ca
tarrh by this natural method and pre-
vent catarrhal colds that are so COM

NERvY, IF NOTHING MORE.
Picnic Lunch Served IN Dress Making
Rooms-Guests Failed to Register.

Seine person or persons evidently
made themselves very much at home,
Tuesday night, in the rooms in the
Opera House block which are occupied
by Miss Kate Williams as ladies'
tailoring establishment, without as
much as even asking leave.
That the rooms had been visited was
not discovered until yesterday morning,
when Miss Williams opened the door,
and was surprised to find the light
burning. Thinking that funny. as
neither she nor any of her assistants
mad been in the rooms during the even
ing, she investigated further and found
on the table in the fitting-room. an
empty shoe box, which had evidently
contained lunch, and on the table also.
the crumbs which had been left over.
Yesterday afternoon, Miss Villa ms
had fourd nothing missing. SO far as
she was able to discover. but who the
parties were, or how they gained an
entrance to the room, the door being
found locked in the morning. is vet q
mystery. 9
