If the police found themselves in a quan- dry yesterday they are in even a worse plight today, and admit being utterly at sea. The finding of the chemist at Honolulu baa greatly weakened the murder theory and it is evident that the case will be dropped aa toon as the authorities ean do so gracefully. The presenoe of strych nine in the bicarbonate of soda and also the evident attempt to poison Mrs Stanford in this city it is believed will forever remain an anex plained mystery. The police praoti ally admit today that there will be no arrests made. The authorities here now give it out as their opinion that there was a mistake in the transmis sion of the cablegram sent Irom Houu lulu regarding the quantitv of strych nine found in the bicarbonate of soda and they claim that it is their belie' that the decimal point before the figures 662 dropped off that t;e mes sage should have read 662 hundredths of a grain instead of 662 grains. .
