AUCKLAND, March 10. man, apparently between 35 and 40 years of age, named E. S. Harris, who has been staying for the past five or six months at the Metropolitan Hotel, was found dead in bed this morning when the housemaid entered his room with his morning tea. Dr. King immediately summoned, and he expressed the opinion that there were suspicious evidences of death by poisoning. The deceased was last seen alive about 9.30 last night, when he retired. Harris is supposed to be a single man, with his relatives all living in England. He was apparently a man of either independent means, or supported by his peoplo at Home, seeming to have no occupation. A letter found upon him, and addressed to a relative at Timbridge "Wells (England)', referred m pessimistic terms to his own health, containing his op nion that his lungs were hopelessly affected, and that life promised little more than future suffering.
