NO LIGHT ON DEATH OF

Chemists Have Not Yet Completed
Analysis of Contents of Her stomach
Belief That If Crime Was Com

Mixture of strychnine and Bicarbon-
ate of Soda.
Honolulu, March 2.-The police inves-
tigation into the death of Mrs. Jane
L. Stanford is at standstfH tonight.
High Sheriff Henry is without theo-
ry as to the cause of her death. 1t had
been expected that the report of the
chemists on the analysis of the contents
of her stomach would be made tonight.
but they announced they had not CON
Hcluded their investigation and would
not be ready to make report before
tomorrow. 1t is probable that the in
quest will commence tomorrow after
noon. High Sheriff Henry said:
II am utterly unable to formulate
any theory that would account for this
tragedy. The San Francisco papers
which have just been received contain
ing full accounts of the alleged poison
ing case of January IA, have not been
of any help to me. I am awaiting re-
suits. The analysis of the stomach and
the contents of the bicarbonite Of soda
bottle, together with the inquest which
will follow. may develop some new
facts. When these chemical analyses
have been completed shall have all
the other medicines used by Mrs. STAN
ford similarly analysed Her medicine
chest contained number of bottles,
but believe that the bicarbonate one
was the only one in which it was pos
sible to conceal strychnine.'
This afternoon Sheriff Henry, Judge
Stanley and Miss Berner at the Hotel
Monoa, went through all of Mrs. STAN
ford S trunks, which had been packed,
locked and sealed, preparatory to ship
ment
One theory is that Mrs Stanford ac-
cidentally mixed strychnine with the
bicarbonate Of soda, but Sheriff Henry
says there was no strychnine among
Mrs Stanford's medicines found la tlt
chest.
The opinion OF most of the investiga-
tors is that if there has been crime
it was committed in San Francisco, and
possibly at the same time that strych-
nine is said to have been placed in the
mineral water on January IA.

made the following statement to-day
regarding the dissolution Of the voting

In view Of the approaching early ter
mination Of the Kansas City voting
trust, which expires by limitation on
April | next, the voting trustees have
determined not to exercise the right of
electing the next board at the statutory
meeting on March IA, but to adjourn

der to enable the holders of the voting
trust certificates to exchange such GER
tifieates for actual stock, so that at the
adjourned meeting the board may be

by the voting trustees"
Philadelphia, March 2.-The North
American Tomorrow will say that com
troll of the Kansas City Southern rail-
road, the reorganization of which was
directed by a Philadelphia committee,
has been obtained by a group of capi-
talists who, 1t is believed, intend to hold
it for the appearance of the highest bid
der, because of its strategic Importance
in the west. Accumulation of stock be-
gan about two years ago in anticipation
of the dissolution, on April /, of the vot-
ing trust that has been in charge since
the reorganization of the property.
There is a large Philadelphia interest
in the stock of the company, and it is
understood, the North American will
say, that the Hartman group is in the
minority. ~ t-a

London, March PA memorandum Of
the navy estimates issued to-day shows
the estimates for 1905-l906 to be $780,
945,0OO against s1s4, ,445. 600 for the cur
rent year. The admiralty proposes to
build during the year one battleship,
four armored cruisers, ave ocean going
torpedo boat destroyers. one ocean go
ing torpedo boat destroyer Of an exper-
mental type, twelve coastal torpedo
boat destroyers and eleven submarine
boats. 81
King Edward has approved naming
the new battleship Dreadnaught and
one of the armored cruisers Invincible.
The number of men asked for is 12s,-
900. a reduction of 2,100.
1t has been decided to appoint rear
admiral to take charge of all the tor
pedo craft in home waters.
The memorandum says that fiotillas
of submarine boats are in course OF Or
ganization.
Since the commencement of the year
more than 100 vessels have been sue
cessfully commissioned in the reserve.
Lord Selborne (the retiring first lord
of the admiralty, who has been appoint
ed high commissioner in South Africa
says the fleet was never in a more per-
feet state of repair than at present.
Lord Selborne, in discussing new con-
struction says the study Of tactical and
other questions led the board to the
conclusion that two classes of destroy
ers are reauierd, one for ocean work
and the other for narrow seas. They
accordingly decided to combine the
qualities of speed and see keeping pow
er in a special deep sea going destroy
er, which is expensive, and the number
Of which must necessarily be few, and
to design a new type of coastal de-
stroyer, which will be cheap. ~
Between January L, 1904 and March
81, 1906, the following ships have been
or win be completed and available:
-Four battleships, one ar1nored cruiser,
four third class cruisers, twelve sub
marine boats and a new admiralty
yacht. At the present time the follow
ing are under construction: Eight bat
tleships, fifteen armored cruisers, one
second class cruiser, one third class
cruiser and eight scouts, eighteen de-
stroyers and eleven submarine boats.
Lord Selborne announces the consti-
tuition of the committee on designs to
assist the admiralty board, with Ad-
miral Sir John A. Fisher as president.
He says the work of this committee
will enable the board to ensure to the
navy the immediate benefit of exper-
fences derived from Russo-Japanese
naval warfare. His lordship asks par
lament for $250,00O for he commence
ment of a second royal yacht. The to-
tai amount for the commencement of
new ships is a little over $6,250,000.
In conclusion Lord Selborne says it is
now certain that oil has taken place
as a fuel for the navy.

ST. Petersburg, March 3-12:45 a. m.--
Black clouds are again lowering over
the industrial situation Of Russia. The
strike at MOSCOW has been resumed on
large scale, anarchy reigns in the
Caucasus, and at st. Petersburg the
measures which the government ad-
vanced to quiet discomfort and restore
good relations between masters and
men appear to have failed, with the
probability of causing the storm to
break anew.
The labor delegates representing the
whole of the industrial population Of
st. Petersburg, and who were elected
to choose fifty members of the Schid-
lovski reconciliation commission, met
again yesterday and reaffirmed the res
olutions, adopted the previous day,

refuse to elect labor representatives to
the commission, but to order resump-
tion of the general strike. A practical
ultimatum was delivered calling for an
answer to-day. There is little expecta-
tion that the government will grant the
conditions demanded. a,
The strike already has assumed large
proportions here, about 10000 men being
out. Among those who struck yester-
day are the employees Of the st. Peters
sSurg shops Of the Warsaw railroad. The
strike has not yet extended to the train

The board of finance finally took ac-
ton on the Lewis plan of taxation last
evening, after its having been discuss
ed by that board for many weeks, and
also after several amendments and
counter propositions had been brought
forward and considered. By the final
vote taken last night just one-third of
the Lewis plan is adopted. In other
words instead of advancing the date
of paying taxes one month each year,
commencing in 1907, by the vote passed
last evening the date will be advanced
one month each year for two years,
beginning next year. As Mr.. Lewis ex-
pressed it after the meeting, the vote
passed last night accomplishes all that
the original plan attempted, except
that time is limited to two years in
stead Of six. If during this period Of
trial the plan is success, 1t will be
an easy matter to continue it during
the next session of the legislature two
years hence.
When the board convened as soon as
the routine business could be disposed
of the Lewis proposition was taken up
for consideration. Considerable time
was taken up in going over the various
arguments which had been considered
before, and which have been printed ii,
this paper. At last Mr.. Fredericks said
that in his opinion enough time had
been spent in discussion, and therefore
he would make a motion that taxes be-
come due and payable on the first day
of May, but interest should not be
added until the twentieth of July,
which would make the collection six
weeks carrier than heretofore. This
motion was not seconded
Mr.. Lewis then made the following
motion, which is practically the same as
the amendment which he submitted al
the last meeting, except that the sink
ing fund is left out: .'That the corpor
alton counsel be requested to prepare
bill and present it to the legislature
providing for amendments to the city
charter in conformity with the follow
ing changes, to take effect when the
tax for 1906 is laid, viz: First. all taxes
shall become due and payable on the
first day Of April next after they are
laid, and if any OF said taxes renai,,
unpaid on the first day Of August, 1906
