Stanford came here from San Francisco ion' the Korea, Feb. 21. In conversation with Mrs. Henry Highton of San Francisco, who is here, Mrs. Stanford said that en attempt had been made to poison her in that city, and that -was her reason for sailing on tho Korea, It was Mrs.
Stanford's belief, according to Mrs. Highton, that enough poison had been used to kill twenty persons. The police hero are conducting an investigation. Before retiring last night Mrs. Stanford took a doso of bicarbonate of soda, which she purchased in San Francisco.
It te reported tho soda contained strychnine, but this report can not be.verified. Dr. F. II. Humphreys, who attended Mrs.
Stanford, is now making an examination of tho contents of the bottle, which had not been touched since Mrs. Stanford left San Francisco. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Stanford went to a. picnic.
She ate heartily. On returning to the hotel she took no dinner, and retired shortly after 10 o'clock. At o'clock a guest of the' hotel who occupied an adjoining room heard Mrs. Stanford groaning, and running to her room found her lying on the floor. Sho had evidently tried to summon help.

The investigations of tho police have far failed to Hnd any evidence of the poison ing, but tho authorities decline to exprcs: any opinion pending the result of the au and the analysis of the bottle of bi carbonate of soda.

Stanford by means of poison placed In a bottle of mineral water at her home on California street in this city. It was stated she had taken three drinks of deadly mixture, but the poison had been used In such" "large quantities that It served 'as Its own emetic.
wae taUcn violently ill and medical aid was summoned. The contents of her stomach and the water remaining in the bottle were analyzed, and sufficient strychnine to have killed three people was found. Mis. Stanford first drank of the water on an. 14, and from that time her health declined.
Although the story of the attempt to poison her was positively denied, persistent rumors regarding the water wero circulated. She sailed for the Orient two weeks ago her health. No one had access to Mrs Stanford's apartments in this city except members of her household, and though tiany theories were advanced, the detectives who investigated the affair did not advance any theory as to the motive for the poisoning. The body of Mrs. Stanford will be returned Jrom Honolulu on the first steamer.
Until As arrival it is probable the university will remain closed. The funeral will -take place from the Stanford Memorial Church, and the interment will bo in 'the- Stanford mausoleum.

As the wife of Governor and later Senator Stanford, Mrs. Stanford for many years took a prominent part in social affairs. She cooperated with her husband in tho founding ttf JLeland Stanford University, and after Senator Stanford's death devoted herself almost entirely to the interests of the university. Although the Immense endowment of nearly made by Senator and Mrs Stanford to the university was nlaced in the hands of the trustees, Mrs. "Stanford had control of the funds and the appointment of the trustees.
Almost the entire Stanford fortune now goes to the university. Mrs. Stanford had but one child a who died at an early age, and In memory of whom the Stanford Jr Tlni versity waa founded. Montford Switson, attorney for Mrs. Stanford, stated to the Associated Press that he thought Mrs.

March Senate today passed the and harbor bill within an hour and a half and sent it to conference. Now the tug comes in the conference committee. An has In these dispatches, the extra, appropriations made in the bill by the Senate committee amounted to oziiy- about three and a half millions of dollars, something that dreamed of in its moderation.
The Senate really agreed to the amendments made by its committee nnd sent the bill to conference. There is not a speck on the sky, except in tho ease of Penrose of Pennsylvania. He feels that has not been treated exactly right. In the House bill there Is an appropriation for the development of water to the 35-foot stage and a condition that Philadelphia shall contribute a 'half million dpllavs toward It. Burton of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House insisted on this, and dragooned the Pennsylvania delegation into its acceptance.
In Senate, Penrose, who is really a weak brother, protested, and Burton wrote him a note. What was in it I do not know, but one of the members of the House who had acted 'as a friend between the two- gentlemen tells me that he thinks Penrose misconstrued the note, and that he will tomorrow see the error of -his position. Then he asked me if I'thought that Pcnrose drank regularly. The matter of no importance, except to show that the most serious matters are at times dependent on the mopds, not to say con- djtons, of men. I the.
utmost confidence that the bill will be agreed to fn-the coUimlftee. aa'amendea-by the Senate, ana that both houses, under that loosening which comes with an Inauguration, will agree to must anything coming from a committee. The bill as it -went to the Senate was lacking in many things the members of the House wanted, and the Representatives went to- the Senators to procure them. Those Representatives felt that it best to go. to the Senate than to create any trouble In the House, and thereby imperil the measure in that For instance.
Congressman Gregg, representing the Galveston district, drew an amendment providing for a survey of the Galveston channel looking to the increase of its depth to thirty-tiye- feet. Senator Bailey put it on the bill, and it will go through. Then Senator Bailey included the deepening of Anahuac channel In the appropriation for the improvement of the Galveston West Bay channel and' raising the appropriation from $20.000 to $50,000. A great many changes ot a like kind were made in the bill, but as has been staled, the excess of them over House bill did not amount to more than three and a half million dollars. The Brazos and Red River appropraitions stand as they came from the House.
In fact, they aro fixed If the bill goes through, of which I have no doubt tonight. Staff Special to The News. Austin, March The Kennedy bill levying a tax on the gross receipts of va- rloua corporations was considered by the House today and was advanced to third reading. Profiting by the experience with the Love bill on yesterday, Mr. Kennedy himself offered many amendments trim- mhig down the rates proposed In his bill, and these were adopted.
Among other reductions ivas that cutting out the tax on Interurban railways unless they are operated In connection with street railways, in which event they will pay 1 per cent, the same as the street railways, iiio Ser.ats tway finally passed the Santa Fe-Cane Belt consolidation bill; also Senator Davidson's bill requiring which accept grants under special acts passed by Legislature to give free transportation to State officials, members of the Legislature and Sheriffs. When the bill last mentioned was announced in House it was received with titters. Tno mine regulation nnd inspection bill introduced by Representative Sam Webb of Shackelford County wns pnssed by the House today upon its second reading. Although vigorously opposed, Mr. Webb won out by a large majority.
This is the first bill providing for the creation of nn office to be advanced to that stage by either house. It provides for the office of mine Inspector at a salary of $1,500. with an allowance of (500 for expenses. Mr. Webb declares that the.
bill will stimulate instead of retard the development of mines in Texas. The hill Increasing the annual franchise taxes was totlay corrected and was approved by 1 the Governor. It Is estimated that It will yield $125,000 additional revenue per annum. This measure was drawn by Speaker Seabury, being substantially the same as a bill which he introduced two years ago.

Notwithstanding tomorrow Is Independence Day, the anniversary of the birth of the Republic, both Houses of the Legislature will work. Three ex-Speakers of the Texas House of Representatives arrived In Austin this morning. They were Hon. B. F.
Sherrill of Hunt County, Speaker of the Twenty- Sixth House; Hon. R. 13. Prince of Navarro County. Speaker of the Twenty-Seventh, and Hon.
Pat Neff of McLennan Countv Speaker of the Twenty-Eighth House. A good many jokes were passed today concerning the conjunction of these luminaries It was suggested, among other things, that they were about to launch .1 (Speaker's association. This afternoon they sat with Speaker Seabury during the proceedings in tho HOURP, their presence being acknowledged by applause. -I- Much of morning's session of thu House was taken up by a dispute between Messrs. Harris and Mostcreon of Galveston, during which some very sharp words were spoken.
It arose over a resolution introduced by Mr. Harris, calling upon the clerks of tho Courts of Civil Appeals to report tho amount of fees collected by them. Mr. Masterson the House to postpone consideration until tomorrow in order that he might have a letter sent here having, bearing upon this matter and have same read to the House. This request seemingly'argercd Mr Harris very muL-h, and he made an speech, declaring that this was tbe first intimation lie bad had of a breach in the Galveston delegation.
He furthermore declared that he would not bo ashamed ta have any letter he had ever written read to the House, and he wanted the letter in qucstinn brought here and read tomorrow morning-, and every other morning. At tho same time, ho declared, thuru was no reason for the House to postpone consideration of a resolution which merely caller I for information thleh it was his right to request. Mr. Mnstcrcon insisted a tho should not ant until it had heard ihe evidence, whereupon Mr. Harris asked if be could repeat the contents of the letter Mr.
Masterson undertook to give the. stancc of them. He said a duriiiK the last campaign Mr. Harris bad addressed a letter to II. M.
Knight, Clerk of the pellntft Court of Galveston County, saying that he (Harris) would be in either the Sedate or the House of the Twenty-Ninth Islature, and demanding a Mr. Knight furnish him a-statement of the fc-es ofiico.
