A dispatch from Honolulu says that High Sheriff William Henry, who was at the head of the local police when Mrs. Jane Stanford died there in March last,' has caused a sensation in the Island capital by the assertion that the death of Mrs. Stanford was brought about in the inter est of Stanford University; that he believ esthat Mrs. Stanford was murdered. " I believe," he continued, ' "that Dr. David Starr Jordan thinks this way. He is a science crank. He is all ' wrapped up In science and thinks of nothing else. The Stanford University at the time of Mrs. Stanford's death was In most urgent need of money. When Dr. Jordan and Hopkins were here to investigate th qause of Mrs. Stanford's death, the real purpose they were working for was to create the belief that Mrs. Stanford ' died from natural causes and was not murder ed. I told them to their facee that was what they were trying to do." . EXPECTING TROUBLE- Washington, Jan. 12. There Is a strong belief that the Government of the United States has a double object in view In or dering reinforcements for the troops in the Philippine Islands. The officials, usually silent as to reasons for orders starting in their nature, apparently were willing that the impression should go abroad tha the sending of the First and Second In fantry and two batteries of .artillery to th Philippines was necessitated by ' the prospect of trouble in China. In case of another Chinese outbreak more troops than are at present In the Philippines would be needed, but th real truth of the matter that th Government is desirious of having additional soldiers in the island possessions in case of trou ble nearer Manila than is Pekin.
