Tbe news of tbe death of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford at Honolulu last night was received here today with surprise and sorrow, to which was added huiror that it was learned that probably she bad been pulaoned. Her brother, Charles U.

Mr. Wilaon is awaiting adrtcea from Honolulu officials before taking any action regarding the business affair of Mr. conStanford, which are Intimate nected with those of the great institution which she and her husband founded at Palo Alio. This Institution has already been endowed with $38,001), U00 in property and rain, to which may be added about $10,000,-00- 0 from Mrs. Stanford's personal estate. She took drop personal interest in the university and to her wisdom and business aagaciiy i due much of its success, a fact which is testified to by Its president, as welt ns the students, nearly all of whom knew and loved her. The university was closed today and is not expected to reopen until after Mrs. Stanford's remains have been placed beside those of her husband nnd son In their mausoleum near the In respect to her college campus. memory the state legislature adjourned today and flags were placed at half mast throughout the city and state. The story of an attempt to poison Mrs. Stanford In thia city waa first made public on the eighteenth of last declared that month, when it wjm strychnine had been found In a bottlo of mineral water, ot which she had taken several drinks. She was made ill and an analysis showed the presence of tho deadly drug in the water. To Dr. Welboerirks who attended her, Mrs. Stanford told tbe story of what she believed to have been an attempt upon her life. She suspected no one and cn the doctors advice soon went to the country. Returning here, apparently in improved health ebo sailed tor China and Japan, by way of Honolulu on tha steamer Korea, Feb. 16, arriving at tho Hawaiian port flva. days later. Tbe alleged attempt to poison her was investigated b a detective agency but no results were obtained and the matter apparently was dropped.

The remit of the chemical analysis of tho contents of the stomach of Mrs. Stanford i awaited with the keenest interest here, particularly by the people who were most Intimately associated with the investigation of the recent stories that sn attempt had been made to poison the aged benefactress at her palatial home In this city . The persons directly concerned with Inquiry into the suspicion of Mrs. Stanford that an attempt bad been made to poison Ibn mineral water she wss accustomed to drink were connected with a local private detective agency.

Stanford's life while the lack of positive evidence of the presence of poison in the water, un.kiiibtrd-l.- v led to the recommendation that the inquiry be dropped. It le stated on good authority that the report of the detective agency was formulated along the- lines anu that the conclusions arrived at were accepted as entirely satisfactory to Mr. Lathrop. ths "brother of Mrs. Stanford, and to Mountford B. Wilson, her attorney and friend. As to the point of the findings of the detectives regarding the mineral water, the detective absolutely decline to make a statement and the versions told by people who claim to be in possession of tlie facts do not agree. One story of the analysis of the water is that the water wa found to be free from strychnine and another is that the detectives declare that the drug was placed in the lxi'le after Mrs. Stanford had drank the contents, the object on some membeing to cast ber of the numerous at laches.
