DEFEAT
(By Sorippa Newa Assocatlon)
Ban Franoieco March 8-rTbrre
seems to be no hope of clearing up
the Stanford poisoning mystery. 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. .

Unsatisfactory News
The war news this afternoon no to
3:30 at this writing is very Indefinite
Everything tends to the view that the
Russians are in full retreat but a care
ul rea ling of the dispatches received,
show a wonderful lack of confirmation
of anything positive. It is evident
that the battle haa been waging for nine
days and in which the largest number
of men engaged for centurlea is still on
and the earnnge continues.
