ported that the soda contained strych-
nine. but this report cannot be verified.
DR.. F. II. Humphries. who attended
Mrs. Stanford. is now making an exam
nation of the contents of the bottle,
which had not been touched since Mrs.
Stanford left San Francisco.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Stanford
went to picnic. She ate heartily on
returning to the hotel, but took only
soup for dinner, and retired shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock.
At IL O'Clock A. Heunish. guest of

Mrs. Stanford Was Poisoned.

San Francisco. March 3.-The re-
ceipt yesterday by Acting Chief OF Po-
lice John Spillane of a cablegram from
High Sheriff Henry of Honolulu, stat
ing that there was no less than 6G2
grains of strychnine in the bottle of
bicarbonate of soda that Mrs. Jane l..
Stanford took dose of 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 harmless medicine.
The police believe that the bicarbon-
ate of soda and the strychnine were
purchased here, and the poison
secretly dropped into the bottle by a
person connected with the Stanford
household.
The bottle containing the bicarbon-
ate of soda was originally purchased in
Australia. But, according to Miss Ber-
tina Berner, Mrs. Stanford's private sec
retary, and the maid, May Hunt, the
bottle was refilled in this city at To-
cal drug store.

IN HONOR OF WoLCoTT
MANY EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW
Both Friends and Opponents Tell of
His Remarkable Ability and
Achievements.

Washington, March 3.-News of the
death of former Senator Wolcott brings
forth general expressions of sorrow
from many public men at the capital.
A large number of senators with whom
he was associated during his service
in the Senate took occasion to speak
of his ability and of his wonderful
power of leadership when he chose to
exert it.
Few had known that he was in a
serious condition and the news of his
death in the prime of life caused a uni
versal shock. Among the older sena-
tors two of Wolcott's greatest speeches
were recalled, one nominating Blaine
for president at Minneapolis in 1892,
the other at the National Republican
convention in 1900 when he assumed
the duties of chairman of the conven-
tion.
The opinion was generally expressed
that had death not interrupted VOL
colts career he would again have rep
resented Colorado in the Senate.
Senator Teller, in speaking of the
death of his former colleague. said:
81 have heard with the deepest re-
gret the news of the death of Senator
Wolcott. While 1t was wholly unex-
pected to me, l knew he was not in
good health. but did not think the
| trouble was serious, and In my last
conversation with him he himself
thought he would recover his usual
good health.
1.-The personal relations of Senator
| Wolcott and myself were always pleas
ant. The fact that left the Republi-
can party and he remained did not
sever our friendship, and | feel his
death in a personal sense and regret
| @. in
| words. He was a man of great abil-
ity. a natural born leader and one of
Colorado's strongest men. l have no
doubt that had he lived and Repub-
lican been sent to the Senate two years
| from now, he would have been the
man.
Colorado suffers in his death for he
was one of its greatest characters"
Senator Patterson said:
THE death of ex-senator Wolcott
bushes all adverse criticism and calls
out acknowledgements of his great tai
| ent and charming manners, which fall
spontaneously from the lips of all who
knew him. He had the strength of a
born leader. His wonderful power
with men Is shown in vivid light from
the fact that although he has been SO
little in Colorado for the past six Oh
eight years he held to the last thou
sands of devoted friends who followed
| his fortunes in sunshine and storm and
through evil and good repute. The
death of Senator Wolcott removes a
powerful element for good in Colorado
for he had been so thoroughly indie
pendent that he kept in close touch
with people and always had their re-
spect and confidence"
Congressman Bonynge said: He
was one of the strongest characters
and ablest men Colorado has produced
as United States senator. He gained
a reputation for craftsmanship and
ability that reflected great credit upon
our state"

Statehood Bill Fails.

Washington. March 4.-The state
hood bill died at 8: so O'Clock last night.
At that time the conferees on the bill
parted not to meet again during the
Fifty.eighth congress. There was per-
sistent efforts on the part of the Sen
ate conferees to get disagreement re-
ported to the two houses. but the
House conferees made the positive dec
laration that no disagreement report
would be signed.
The first day of the next session Rep-
resentative Hamilton, chairman of the
House committee on territories. will
Introduce the statehood bill with pro
visions like those which passed the
House. A special rule will be forth
coming to put it through without pro-
tracted discussion. 1t is believed that
with a long session before it the bill
can be passed in the Senate.

that the former senator was suffering
from an acute attack of influenza. Even
then the real seriousness of his illness
was not apparent from the wording OF
the telegram. and misgivings as to his
ultimate recovery were not feltrby his
relatives and business associates.
Another cablegram, received at 6:3O
o'clock. briefly announced his death
The sad news was quickly flashed
from one to another in political circles,
and soon hundreds of former friends
and adherents gathered in the lobby of
the Brown Palace hotel to discuss his
passing.
The first intimation Miss Anna l..
Wolcott had of the serious Illness of
her brother reached Denver yesterday
morning in a cablegram from Henry.
This stated that Edward was very low
with influenza and complications.
Last night Miss Wolcott received an
other cablegram stating that her
brother was dead. This message was
sent from Monte Carlo and was dis
patched at 5: IA o'clock yesterday after
noon.
The Republican this morning pub
fishes the following biographical
sketch:
Edward oliver wolcott was born in

early Puritans who left England under

who were governors of Connecticut
Among his ancestors was Oliver VOL
colt, one of the signers of the Declara
tion of independence. and whose son
was second secretary Of the treasury

Wolcott family, Trumbull's old history
of Connecticut says:
Some of the family were members

court or magistrates from the first set
