Honolulu, March 18.-"You can take
all the facts and fit them to four or
five theories" said Captain Jules Cal
lunden, representing a San Francisco
detective agency, to the correspondent
of the Associated Press this morning,
in speaking of the death of Mrs. STAN
ford. II hope that very soon after our
arrival at San Francisco we will find
the solution of the mystery" he add
ed.
The detectives are of the opinion
that the verdict of the coroner's jury,
to the effect that Mrs. Stanford died
by strychnine poisoning, was not JUS
titled by the evidence presented.
High Sheriff Henry, in an inter
view, accuses the San Francisco de-
tectives of an intention to discredit
the work of his department. He says
he suposes they will endeavor to make
it appear that Mrs. Stanford died from
natural causes.
The evidence up to date, it is point
ed out, indicates that Mrs. Stanford
took one.seventh of a grain Of strych'
nine, this quantity being combined in
a cascara capsule and the bicarbonate
of soda, that both the capsule and
the soda would be required to cause
a fatal result, and that both would
be fatal only to person of Mrs. Stan
fOrd's age.

Miners Certificate Law,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 16.-Offi-
GERS of the United Mine Workers in
the anthracite region held an import
ant meeting in Hazelton today and
discussed plans for opposing the ef-
forts of the operators to prove that
the miners certificate law is uncon-
stitutional.
II the operators manage to knock
out this law they will deal heavy
blow to the union, for it now prevents
them from importing men to mine
coal should the regular miners be out
on strike. The law compels two
years. experience in the anthracite
mines and the passage of strict ex-
animation before man receives a
certificate.
In view of the fact that the agree
ment with the mine workers expires
next year the operators are now striv'
ing by means of test cases to prove
that this law is unconstitutional. Ar
rangements are to be made for gen
eral reorganization movement. led by

UNITED STATES WILL HOLD THEM

allay any Misrepresentation relative to
the policy of the administration with
respect to the future of the Philip
pines, Secretary Taft today made pub
lie the text of letter which he wrote
to John N. Blair. of New York, bear
ing directly on the subject. The sec.
rotary states very plainly that the
policy of the administration is the de-
finite retention of the Philippines "for
the purpose Of developing the pros.
perity and the self-governing capac-
ity Of the Philippine people,"
What shall be done when half the
Filipinos have reached a condition
when they can safely be trusted with
their own government the secretary
believes to be question which doubt.
less will have to be settled by another
generation than the present.
The secretary's letter follows:
March 16, 1905.-My Dear Sir:
have your letter Of March z, in which
you say that a common reported in
depreciation Of my remarks before the
house committee on ways and means
is that it is the purpose of the admin
istration to give independence to the
Filipinos within the next four years
and that this produces great timidity
about investments in the Philippines
growing in great part out of the un
dercurrent of doubt as to what the
future of these islands is to be. Ir
reply, l beg to say that I cannot pre-
vent misconstruction of my remark:
except by repeating to you what &C
tually think in regard to the matter
The policy of the administration Il
the indefinite retention of the Philip
pines for the purpose of developing
the prosperity and self-governing ca
pacity of the Filipino people. Thu
policy rests ON the conviction tina
the people are not now capable o
self.government, and will not be TO
long period of time; certainly no
for a generation, and probably no
for a longer time than that, and tina
until they are ready for self-govern
ment it would be violation OF trus
for the United States to abandon tn
islands. The question as to the fu
ture, however. is one which Is who'll,
one of conjecture. The important par
is the present policy, which is tina
of the indefinite retention of the Is
lands. What shall be uOne in the III
ture, when the people have reache
a condition where they can be safel

is a question which doubtless VII
have to be settled by another genera
ton than the present. both OF tn
American and Of the Filipino people
to whose wisdom and generosity W
may safely trust the solution OF IN
problem. Should the Filipino people
when fit for self-government, deman
independence, I should be strongly !
favor of giving it to them, and l nav
no doubt that the American people
the next generation would be OF tn
