On a street corner in the northwest
ern section OF the city last Saturday
forenoon quite a large crowd had
collected. 1t had formed a ring, or.
rather, a square, about some object
in the center, two sides having cor
gregated on each side of the curb,
while the others made a rather thin
line On the other side of the square.
The on-lookers to whatever was going
on did not seem in the least excited,
but there was every indication of
much interest in the situation.

forty miles distant from the nearest

Proposed Coffee Tax.

New York. Members Of the Coffee
Exchange are much interested in the
proposition which comes from Wash
ington TO put duty on imports of
coffee. The discussion on this propo-
sition had enough effect on the market
to advance prices about 10 points in
one day. While this matter was not
taken seriously by weH-informed men
in the coffee trade, it was claimed that
the ultimate effect of duty ON coffee
would be disastrous to the trade, as
the stock of about 4,25O,0OO bags now
carried in the United States would
9e doubled by the thrush of coffee
from Brazil before such law could
be put into effect.

Jefferson City, Mo.-After having
been in a deadlock since January Is
over the selection of a United States
senator to succeed Francis M. Cock
rell, the legislature at fifteen minutes
before sine die adjournment elected
Maj. William. Warner, Republican, of
Kansas City, to fill the vacancy.
Seven ballots in joint session were
taken in effecting decision and the
closing scenes of the legislature have
not been paralelled in the history Of
Missouri politics.
When it became evident that War
ner would be the choice, the Demo-
Gratis, who had steadfastly supported
Cockrell throughout, locked horns with
the Republicans who were split on the
caucus nominee, Thomas X. Niedring-
haus, Richard C. Kerens and over a
score of other nominees and the as
sembly chamber became a place of
general riot. Efforts were made to
stop roll call on the seventh ballot,
several attempted to tear the presiding
officer from the chair and the Demo-
Gratis tried to effect an adjournment
without election. The time for sine
die adjournment had been set for
3 o'clock by concurrent resolution and
as the hour approached the clock was
smashed in the melee. Amid an up
roar that almost baffled control. at
times the seventh ballot of the dav
was cast, resulting in the election Of
Maj. Warner.

Must Prepare for War.

The japanese press considers that
Manchuria is now virtually in state
of japanese occupation, but dismisses
the thought of speedy peace, in view
of the Russians natural reluctance to
admit defeat Under the cirenm-
stances, therefore, it is held that it
will be essential to prosecute the war
vigorously. The Premier, speaking
at dinner Of the Bankers Club, ask
ed his hearers to conceive themselves
III the position of Russia. who, al
though enormously superior in re-
sources, population and military re-
nown, is now confronted with the
painful question of suing for peace
with nation hitherto regarded with
contempt. It would be unwise, he.
said, to anticipate such concession.

tinue the war to the bittazaSats. -

Honolulu Edmund Shorey, Chem
ist of the United States Agricultural
Station, and Drs. Wood, Murray and
Humphreys have signed statement
replying to Prof. Jordan and Timothy
Hopkins, who recently announced
their conclusions that the dead, AZ
Mrs. Stanford was due to natural
causes. They characterize the state
ment Of these gentlemen as astenish-
ing, and reiterate their finding thas
st1ychnine was the cause of death.
They say that the publication Of
the Jordan-Hopkins opinion makes it
incumbent upon them to reply, and
they give the following reasons Why
the death must have resulted from
stryehnine poisoning
"First-Mrs. Stanford died during
characteristic strychnine convulsion,
which was seen by Drs. Humphreys
and Murray.
Second-A post-morteln rigidIy
identical with that peculiar to cases
of that class Of poisoning.
"Third The post-mortem revealed
no other cause of death, from any af-
feetion of the stomach or intestines.
They contained no undigessed food
and were IN a healthy condition.
$ Fourth The post-mortem in every
respect gives the evidences of authen-
ticated cases of strychnine poisoning,
and these, combined with the fact that
stychnine was f.und in the bicarbon-
ate Of soda which was used by the de-
ceased, furnishes the chain Of evidence
that will withstand the fercest as
saults.
Continuing, the statement goes on
to discuss the testimony Of Miss Ber-
ner, Mrs. Stanford S secretary; of May
Hunt, her maid, and that of Drs. Hum
phreys and Murray. 1t quotes med
ical authorities regarding the svmp-
toms of poisoning by strychnine, and
reaffirn1s the positive opinion that
strychnine poisoning caused the death.

WILLIAM Fl. TAFT. =

Mr.. Taft was accompanied to the
Cabinet meeting by Mr.. Lawshe, au-
ditor Of the Philippine government, who
desired to pay his respects to the
President before returning to his post.
Mr.. Lawshe has been in this country
for several months in connection with
the Philippine government exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
the accounts Of which he has been ad-
justing. His accounts show that in
round figures this exhibit cost the Phil
ippine Commission million and a
half dollars, while the returns from
franchises, admissions and other SER
vices were a little over 100000. AL
though this shows that the exhibit was
far from self-sustaining from a pecu-
MARY point Of view, yet the Philippine
Commission feels amply repaid for the
expenditure by reason Of the great
stimulus given to the interest of the
American people in the Philippines
and a belief that it certainly will re-
suit in a large and permanent increase
in trade between the islands and the
United States.
