Among the schemes under discus

tant from the city where members of
ithe le-igue needing rest can live for i.
time at a small expense.
San Francisfo, March IP. -Tvel-thousand
dollars worth of diamonds
hfe been suUed by t''.t co'lertor of
cJ:oms Ht t.Ms port. l.ouU llospidal,
an agent for a rrem h .liamond firm,
hed an assignment of diamonO-s frvn
the firm at Havanj where be was to
diija.se of then. From Havana. 1K
pldal went to Mexico and thence to
this city, where he was arrested but
upon giving up the diamonds to an
agent of the French house he was re
leaved and promised Immunity from
prosecution by the firm. The collector
of customs then seized the diamonds
In the possession of the agent and now
holds them in his custody. He is about
to begin suit to condemn and forfeit t
the diamonds as smuggled goods on
the ground that the stones are not im
ported by the owners, but as stolen
property. The matter has been re
ferred to the authorities at Washing
ton for Instructions.
ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.
Implicated in Assassination of Grand
Dukes.
New York, March 10. Six Russians,
alleged to be members of the execut
ive revolutionary committee cfr Mos
eow, have been arrested In Marseilles
France, according to a Herald dispatch
from that city. A search made in the
rooms occupied by the prisoners is
said to have disclosed the fact that
(they had been charged with the as
sassination of the Russian grand dukes.
Alexis and Vladimir, and that they
should have left Marseilles at once to
execute their plans.
WORK ON THE JETTY.
Active Work Will Be Commenced in a
Few Days.
Evidently mindful of the proverb
that delays are dangerous. Major W.
C Langfitt is going ahead with the
preliminary labors on the Jetty nt the
mouth of the Columbia river in anti
cipation of the financial help to come
later from the river and harbor bill
for the completion of that undertaking.
Recently orders were Issued by him to
Assistant Engineer Hegardt to push
the early operations necessary In ad
vance of the start being made to re
pair the damage to the trestle caused
by the storms of last year, when sec
tions were washed out covering a dis
tance of about 4000 feet.
In rebuilding that part of the trestle
no large rock will be needed, as that
first placed there remains, but some
small stuff will be dumped along where
the new piling will be. placnj. The
electric light plant will be o-erhauied
and made fit for service, so the driving
of piles mad continue day and night,
and if ihe weather does not interfere
it is calculated rock will be re !..-!
in less than 50 dajs. Should the ti'ip-"-of
the engineers mttera!ize ir. tbat
respect the entire summer season will
be devoted to the ext-nsii"i work, and
before fall sets in there will be quit'!
a lengthy stretch of new trestle con
structed. TJiat the Columbia river has -t-u
materially deepened by the combined
benefits from the jetty and work done
by the Chinook is admitted even by the
most skeptical, and it is clearly sho-.vn
by the last survey reports, but with all
that mariners generally incline to the
opinion that the required depth will
become permanent only when another
jetty is built out from the north shore.
NOT GUILTY.
Alderman Hart of Chicago is Acquit
ted. Chicago, March 10. Former Abler
man Frederick A. Hart, indicted two
years ago while a member of the coun
cil, has been found not guilty by Judge
Barnes of the charge of having at

Hart was th democratic alderman
from the Twenty-ninth ward. The ac
cusation was that he offered for a con
sideration to get an order through the
city council allowing a bank building
to exceed the height allowed by law.
END OF THE WAR.
Believed Russian Defeat Will End the
War.
Pekin, March in. The results of the
recent fighting In Manchuria have
made considerable of an 'impression in
diplomatic circles here and even tie
most sanguine pro-Russians hue been
forced to admit that the prospects for
Russian success is discouraging. From
a Russian point of view It was expect
td that after the winter had passed
the Russian armies reinforced would
avenge their reverses an! retrieve
their fallen fortunes. The recent de
feat has shattered this hope and it is
generally believed that the end of the
war is far distant.

Hartford. Conn., March 19. Rev,
Or. Newman Smythem of New Haven,
who appeared before the Judiciary
committee of the general assembly In
supinirt of a corrupt practise bill. In
formed the committee that after care
ful Investigation he had found that In
the last campaign "money met money
at the caucuses In considerably more
than 10.000 of the towns of the State."
He figured that the total sum used
might have reached 1150.000. Not
withstanding, he said, the notorious
use of money and other valuable con-,
sldemtlons in the last campaign "not
a single stroke of a prosecuting pen
has been made, not a dollar fine Im
Hsed, not a Jail door has swung upon
to receive a single political robber of
Connecticut."
He Intimated that such evidence as
was at hand might be laid at the door
of the judiciary committee of the
Fnited States marshal.

SO SOOTHING,
CAUSE OF MURDER
San Francisco Detectives Goin
to Honolulu.
INVESTIGATE STANFORD CASE
Result of the Inquest Charging That
Mrs. Stanford Wss Murdered by
St'ychnine Poison in Bicarbonate of
Soda Which She Drank.
Honolulu, March 10. The end of
the inquest with a positive verdict of
murder leaves the police of Honolulu
as much without a clue as when Mrs.
Stanford? die!. High Sheriff Henry
said after the inquest that it was his
opinion that the strychnine Was placed
in the soda in San Francisco by a
member of Mrs. Stanford's household.
At the inquest Dr. Shorey testified that
the strychnine used, as shown by the
tests, was a strychnine such as Is not
used generally for medicinal purposes,
but used principally for poisoning ani
mals. This statement is regarded as of
possible assistance In the tracing of
the purchase of the strychnine.
The Jury returned their verdict after
about two minutes deliberation.
The detectives who are expected to
arrive from San Francisco on the
steamer Alameda tomorrow may be
able to take up the Investigation on
new lines. The local police admit that
they are at sea.
