Moli- neux began it was with the understanding between counsel that there would be an early adjournment in the afternoon to Tuesday morning of next week. Henry L.

Discovered the Burns Letter. At that time the witness had not seen any of the writings in the letters, but later discovered the famous Burns letter, now one of the admitted specimens of the de- fendant’s handwriting. The witness stated that he had studied from time to time since he was first called intu the © all of the exhibits, the disputed and admitted writ- ings. When asked by Mr. Osborne to tell the jury in his own w the characteristics found by him fn arriving at a conclusion of disputed writings, the witness told of the striking resemblance in plctorial effect the writings in the Barnet and titers and the now admitted writ- dd for the pe rities admitted writings and found them to be strong as to muscles, but weak as to will po’ They = a supertluity of muscul. he said, this coming apital stems and superfluous He picked out certain words in this characteristic was most pro- which nounced and gave verbal demonstrations.

This was demonstrated on the board by means of crayon, the word chosen being the characteristic “oblig that both Ex- perts Kinsley and Tyrrell had previously brought out. Mr. Tolman said further that a most striking tlustretion of the fading muscular impulses was to be found in the defendant's own ni There was a large capital “M,” a large “BE” and thea running out to most an unintelligible “UX.” At this Juncture Mr. Tolman was asked to step from the stand and Mr. Osborne asked permission to allow a clerk of the Lincoln National Bank to identify some of Harry §S. Cornish’s writings. It was al- leved and Charles Elliott Warren took the Stand. In answer to questions he said he was chief clerk of the Linco National Bank. He said Harry 8. Cornish was one of the bank's depositors and had been for a number of years. Cornish was requested to stand up in the court room and was td fied by Mr, Warren. He was shown E rd, required by all banks of its depositors, and identified the signature.

In answer to ques- by counsel for the accused Mr, War- ren said t he did not see Mr. Cornish write the signature on the card. Signature of Cornish in Evidence. Mr. Cornish was called up and asked to place his signature on a plece of paper. The paper was then marked for identification and Mr. Warren testified that he saw Mr. Cornish write The signature cards pre- viously marked for Identification and the nature written by Cornish in court were offered and admitted in evidence as stand- ards of comparison. Mr, Weeks objected, but was overruled. Mr. Warren examined a number of H. S. Cornish's es.

FEW TODAY The cabinet did little today, the members afterward admitting that several good Jokes had been told during the progress of the session, the President himself join- ing in narrating one. Secretary Hay briefly stated to the cabi- net that there was absolutely no truth In the story that the Germans had hoisted their flag on one of the Samoan Islands, and had re. blished Mataafa on the throne, thereby producing confusion and bloodshed. ‘The German government discredited the story and says that if such steps have been taken they have been with- out or nd will be disavowed. The tri- partite agreement respecting the islands Will not go into effect until the treaty has been appropriately ratified by all three gov- ernments. In the meantime neither gov- ernment will take action of any kind. To Bring Lawton’s Remains Home. Secretary Root told the cabinet that he had cabled General Otis to ascertain what arrangements could be made for sending the remains of General Lawton, Major Lo- gan and Lieutenant Ledyard to this coun- try. It is not known at the War Depart- ment what General Otis would consider a proper time for exhuming the remains, aw- ing to sanitgry laws. Lieutenant Ledyard killed a‘few 1g0. He is a son of : the Michigan Central A Hospital at Puerto Rico. William R. Corwine, secretary of the re- Nef mittee appointed at the time of the disastrous storm which swept over Puerto Rico in August last, had a conference with President McKinley yesterday and submit- ted a suggestion for establishing a general hospital In the island. The relief commit- tee sent thousand dollars’ worth of food, clothing and medicines to the people of Puerto Rico, and continued the work un- til Gen. Davis stated last month that it was no longer ss ry. Subscriptions caon- tinue to be rec i, and at this time there is an unexpended balance of $35,000. Tt is from this that it is proposed to erect the hospital. The President is understood to have given his approval to the Idea, and plans for the institution will soon be pre- pared, Secretary Porter Goes to Conneeticut. Secretary John Addison Porter left this morning for Connecticut to spend a few days with his mother. But Few Callers Today. So many congressmen have left the city for the holidays that there were few callers at the White House tod. These included Senators Cullom and Lindsay. The latter said that he merely wanted to extend the season's greetings to the President, with the “hope that might escape the office- mongers during the holidays.” Although a democrat, Senator Lindsay's relations at the White House are most cor- dial. This, however, is true of nearly every individual member of the opposition to the republicans in Congress. Fer instance, Representative Slayden of Texas called at the White House this morning with a con- stituent. The President was just starting out for his walk, and invited the Texans to accompany him. They did so, the President walking between the two democrats and chatting on the various subjects which were touched upon. ———__+ 0+ PULP COMPANY NOT GUILTY, Result of the Trial of Potomac River Pollution Case, Speclal Dispatch to The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., December ‘The pulp mill case, an action against the West Virginia Pulp Mill Company for polluting the waters of the Potomac at Cumberland, which has attracted great attention throughout the siate and the District of Columbia, and which has been on trial here for nearly three weeks, was given to the jury last evening. After being out all night a verdict of not guilty was returned this morning. This was a criminal action, the Indictment embracing two charges, the first with maintaining a nuisance and the sec- ond with polluting the waters of the Poto- mac. This is the third trial of the ease, the juries disagreeing in the former ones, ——_++<+___ DELAY ON PART OF GOEBELITES. No Notices of Contest Have Yet Been Served. FRANKFORT, Ky., December 22—The delay on the part of Goebel and Beckham in serving notices of contest against Gov. Taylor and Lieut. Goy. Marshall leaves anti-Goebel elements in doubt as to the purpose of the contestants. The time for taking depositions prior to the meeting of the legislature expired yesterday, only four witnesses having given testimony regard- ing the election In the contested counties. The contest committee, however, have power to send for persons and papers If de- sired. The anti-Goebel leaders will have an informal conference at Loulsville during the holidays to decide whether they will make a fight to organize the two houses of the legislature. They claim to have enough votes to organize the senate, but a major- ity of the leaders seem to oppose the fusion on organization, preferring not to show their strength until the contests are voted on. ——_~+<-____ WRECK ON NEW JERSEY CENTRAi One Passenger Killed and Five Others Injured. NEW YORK, December 22—A wreck on the New Jersey Central raflroad at High Bridge, N. J., late last night resulted in one death and the injury of five persons. Christopher V. Hulsider, a grocer, was killed, and Peter Eick, Miss Ella Maxwell and Baggagemaster Frank Grant were among the injured. A coal train was de- scending the steep grade, when the engineer noticed a signal from a. milk train which was at the station. The engineer of the coal train applied the brakes and detached his engine from the train and approached the milk train to find the éause of the de- lay and receive orders. The coal cars were not held by the air brakes and came rush- ing down the grade, striking the engine and pushing it into the eombination car on the rear of the milk train. None of the in- jured is seriously hurt. ——o+.___ Mr. Carnegie’s Glit to Native Town.

He was elected an alderman in 1890, in which he served until 1893. He was the supreme political power in the eighth assembly district for many years. When Mr. Smith established his saloon on Essex street twelve years ago he earned the soubriquet of “Silver Dollar’ from the fact that on the floor between the blocks of marble were cemented 400 silver dollars, and 2,400 more in the panels of the bar and other fixtures, making a total of $2,800. +++ and the other that of J. Francisco Chavez to a grant cf 5,000 acres in Valencia county near Torreon. Both grants were made by the provincial authorities of New Mexico under Mexican rule, and both were declared by the court of private land claims to be invalid, on the ground that the granting authority was inadequate. The opinion handed down today affirms the opinion of the lower ccurt, and is adverse to the claimants. In the case of Fred. Bordes against the First National Bank of Hawarden, Iowa, the court decided that a writ of certiorari could not be granted in a case otherwise brought up on a farm until he was sixteen years old, when he went to Boston and was employed in a store for several years.

House Likely to Agree to Senate's Division of Former Library Space. It is probable that as soon as Congr reassembles a resolution will be passed by the House to concur with the Senate in the division between the two houses of the space in the Capitol building vacated by the Library of Congress. The Senate de- sires to divide the space equally by a line drawn east and west, and wili convert its share into committee rooms.

It was found that fourteen committee rooms could be made for tie use of the Senate and four- teen for the House. The additional rooms are badly needed by both houses, and it is thought that a proposition to establish them will be favorably received. When the Library of Congress moved out it was stipulated in an appropriation bill that the space should be used for no pur- pose whatever until Congress should pro- vide. In the last session it was proposed to locate the Capitol restaurants in the space, but the plan was not carried out. Another proposition for the utilization of the space is to establish a reference li- brary as a branch of the Congressional Li- brary. This has been recommended by Librarian Putnam in a recent report to os House and Senate, and published in The x. ments of the age. He founded two schools at Northfield, one for young women and one for young men, with an average attendance of Suv. He also founded a large school in Chicago, known as the Bible Institute, where from 300 to 400 men and women are trained each year for various departments in Christian work, both at home and abroad. He is the author of a number of books, of sermons and addresses, which have had a very wide circulation. Mr. Moody is eup- posed to have spoken to more people and addressed larger audiences than any man of this generation, and will be known as the leading evangelist of the nineteenth century. No More Indians to Be Allowed to Travel With “Shows.” A new departure in the policy of the In- terior Department is emphasized by un- equivocal refusals which have met all re- cent requests for loans of Indians for ex- hibition purposes, and Secretary Hitchcock and Mr. Jones, commissioner of Indian af- fairs, have determined to stop the abuse of the privileges, and have so stated in a number of communications lately. Mr. Jones said today: “There will be no more Indians permitted to leave their reservations for wild west ex- hibition purposes. They cannot secure the consent of the Indian bureau for their ex- hibition save it be along the lines of soly- ing the problem cf Indian education. The day of the department's permitting Indians to be let for wild west shows and such af- fairs is past. It demoralizes the Indians, many of whom would dress in citizens’ clothes and otherwise conform to more civi- lized ways but for the dollar and cents there is in continuing in their olé customa."” —_-—— Disagrees With Chairman Burton, Representative Berry of Kentucky, @ member of the river and harbor committee, said today that he did not agree with the view of Chairman Burton of the committee that there would be no river and harbor bill this year Mr. Berry thinks tt most de- sirable that the bill should be framed at the present long session. and he is of the opin- ion that the committee will take this view, ————_-++ e+ —_____ Duke of Westminster Very 1 LONDON, December 22—The attack of pneumonia, from which the Duke of West- minster has been suffering, has taken a serious turn.
