EW YORK, Feb. 16—Roland B. Molineux was to-day sentenced to lie in‘Sing Sing prison during the week of rch 26 for the murder of Mrs, Katherine J. Adams. Mr. ! Weeks moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the 1 and the evidence.

Molineux is now in a condemned cell in the death house at Sing Sing prison, hav- ing arrived here this afternoon. There was a curious crowd about the stalon. Molineux agpenred cool and did not seem to notice the crowd. He was taken at | once to the death house, where he took leave of his father, his brother and Law- yer Battle, who had accompanied him from New York.

Staying at the Palace, where they went ter arriving in the city on the Coptic from the Orient, are R. Nagelmachers, assistant general manager, and O. Roditl, chief engineer of the International Euro- pean Sleeping Car Company. 1ese two gentlemen are on their way to Europe from Siberia, where they have been for some time p attending to the integests of their company on the line ot the great Trans iberian Rallw They go now to Paris, where they will take | charge of a panorama which will exhibit the best of the scenery on the Siberian iine from St. Petersburg to Viadivo The panorama will be arranged those enjoying it will imagine that they are seated in a train going over the long The scenes, which iwo of the great are being arranged by scenic artists of France, will be made to revolve around a stationary car in which the spectators will be seated, thus giving one the impression of being in a rapidly moving train which is passing througn the country observed from either side of the coach. At different points on the route the train will apparently little villages, where refreshments will be served by natives of those far-aw: parts the Suez canal to join Mr. Nagelmachers in_Paris. The whole scheme is one of great nov- elty and should prove a great success, articularly as it will show much of the topogT of a country which for both commercial and military reasons is at | present attracting a great deal of atten- tion throughout the entirc world. Speaking of the Siberian Railway Mr. agelmachers said yesterday that it was now possible to travel from Paris to | Vladivostok in twenty days, and when the road is completed this time will be reduced to about a fortnight, The present route is from Paris to St. Petersburg, thence a distance of about 7000 miles to Irkutsk, where a trip of forty miles is taken across Lake Baikai by boat. Connecting with the rails on the other side at a point named Missowia the tourist makes another trip of 1000 miles to Stretensk, which is at present the eastern terminus of the road. Then comes a seven days' trip down the river Amoor to Haborovska, where the ralls are again employed for a G0-mile run, which brings the traveler to Viadivostok and his jour- ne; end. ‘f“he entire plan of the line when com- g_leted embraces a branch beginning at chita. which will run in a southeasterly direction through Manchuria, terminating stop at | f the world, who are now_en route via | &t one end at Peking and at the other at Port Arthur. Still another leg of this line will_turn to the northeast and run to Viadivostok, thus completing an al-rail line from St. Petersburz to the capital of China and two points on the eastern sea coast of the continent. It is thought that it will take between two and three vears for the Russians to completely finish their contemplated un- dertaking. is the travel over the line is immense and that the road is doing a_good business, particularly with the Government, for which it continually moving great | masses of soldiers toward the fromtiers | of the empire. |PRICE ON THE HEAD OF A CHINESE REFORMER Imperial Edict Orders That the Tombs of Kang Yu Wei’s An- [ cestors Be Desecrated. PEKING, Feb. 16.—An imperial edict just issued commands Li{ Hung Chang to desecrate and destroy the tombs of the ancestors of the Chinese reformer Kang Yu Wel, and offers 100,000 taels for the capture of Kang Yu Wel dead or alive. | Though the edict purports to emanate from the Emperor. It is evidently the work of the Dowager Empress, whose bit- | terness toward the reformers is thus fur- ther evidenced. { XKEPT NO COMPLETE LOG. | Chief Engineer McDonald Still Tes- | tifying in ‘he Manauense Case. The chief engineer of the Manauense | was again on the stand yesterday, most of the time under cross-examination. His evidence revealed a peculiar state of af- fairs in the engine-room of the transport, and one which has not altogether been accounted for. He said the entries in the log were not complete and the log had not been kept up at all on the trip from San Francisco | 16 “Fronolulu because the engine-room clock had stopped and because he was busy elsewhere, anyway. He sald, too, he had not recorded any entry of the stoppages when they had to step or slow down to let the stéam accumulate after they left Honolulu. The first assistant engineer had testi- fled that there had been no repairs made to the donkey-pump while the vessel was at Manila, but the prosecution produced a bill for $ for “repairs to the donkey- pump,” which had en signed by the chief. He said he had signed the Wil under the idea that it was for $8 50. Coun- sel for the prosecution then demanded if he did not owe the owners the difference, and he admitted that he did. Hutton sion_was stricken from the record. The chief engincer said he had no clear idea of what the repairs to the donkey-pump consisted. The witness was asked if he thought the vessel seaworthy when she left this port for Manila, and he said he did, in every. respect. He sald he had selected his own men to man the fireroom and engine-room and he considered the vessel fairly well manned. The investigation will go on again on Monday morninng then came to the rescue and the admis- | SUPREME COURT So a Montana Witness Declared. ——— WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections did not resume its consideration of the case of Senator Clark of Montana until 2 o'clock to-day. The first witness was Frederick J. Winston, a ew York law- | ver, who said he w: at_in the of- | fice of Broker Kerr of New York some | time In November last, when Mark | | Hewitt, a witness for the prosecution, | had expressed opinions reflecting upon | | the State Supreme Court of Montana in | commection with the Wellcome disbarment | case before that court. Winston said Hewitt had expressed the opinion that | Wellcome would be disbarred, “as the Su- preme Court was owned by Mr. Daly | Hewitt had said also that the general im- | pression in Montana was that the Daly | people had supplied the $30,000 used in the | | Whiteside exposure to defeat Clark for | the Senate, but failing in that they were | then using the money against Wellcome | in_the Supreme Court. | In reply to a question from Senator | Chandler” Mr. Foster, counsel for Clark, | said that Winston was put on to impeach Hewitt's testimony. Walter Cooper of Bozeman, Mont., who | | was one of Ciark’s supporters in his cam- | paign for the Senate, was the next wit- | ness, He testified to having been present | | at the meeting of Clark’s friends In Butte, |in July, 1885, preliminary to entering upon the campaign. The purpose of the meet- | | ing was *‘to break the control of the Ana- | conda Mining ,Company over the affairs | of the State,” and he had done all he | could in the 'succeeding campalan to ac- | complish the result. Of the seventy-nine Democratic members of the Legislature, the Clark people had believed after the legislative election that fifty would vote | for Clark. He had failed to get that num- ber owing to the Influence of-the Daly in- | terest in the Legislature. In the entire | membership of ninety-four the witness be- lieved there were twenty-one or twenty- two who were employed by Daly, or who were in enterprises in which that gentle. man was Interested, and he gave a list of | those so employed. Cooper said he had been in Helena dur- ing the entire session of the Legislature, but that he knew of no effort to corrupt ay member of the Legislature in Clark’s behalf. He had expended $200 during the | sitting of the Legislature, the money be- ing used in paying the expense of friends | of Clark who came to Helena to assist in | his campalgn for the Senate. | | Death of General Williams.
