MoL1NEUx DEFENCE THEORIES
Points to BE Presented by the Ac-
cuseS Mans Counsel.

ruseV MANS oubsSs.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30-The prominent
feature OF Roland B. Moiineux's defence
will be that Mrs. Katherine J. Adams was
not poisoned. She died. according to The
claims which will be made by the coun-
sci for the defendant. from natural cause.
Mrs Adams. the defence will claim. en-
tered her home the night before her death
in an intoxicated condition She came
home. according to the testimony OF Cor
.rish. with her daughter Florence Eva
Adams Rogers.
DIR. Hitchcock. who attended Mrs.
Adams and Drs. Phillips and Coffin. who
subsequently attended Cornish. have tes-
titled to these facts: In neither patient
was there salvation: in neither patient
was there bleeding at the nose; in neither
patient was there a physical suppression.
The same conditions were true regarding
the hypothetical "A. b. (Barnetl.
The defence expects to prove that in all
cases of mercury poisoning there must be
a salvation. a bleeding at the nose. and q
physical suppression. Attorney Weeks Will
also endeayor to prove that Cornish and
Mrs. Adams had both been on a debauch: !:
that the stomach of Cornish was empty.
and that a. B. was known as a man ad-
dicted to bad habits.
Cornish swore yesterday that when Mrs.
Rogers asked him for the brono-seiizer
her mother had wet towel wrapped about
her brow. DIR. Hitchcock has sworn that
there was a belcbing of gas from Mrs.
Adams. Drs. Phillips and Coffin have
sworn there was a belching of gas from
Cornish. DR.. Phillips has sworn there was
a belching OF gas from "A b." As many
physicians as are necessary will be intro
duced to swear that such symptoms are
inconsistent with mercurial poisoning.
They will take the witness stand and
testify that these symptoms are charac-
teristic of acute gastritis superinduced By
fasting while partaking OF alcoholic stimu-
lants

The year in the stock market ended with
q continued and r,ersisfenf strength which

Ihe year III the STOCK market ended VIII
a continued and persistent strength which
| may be said to have been almost as mucI
/ a surprise to the Street generally as the
| continued break of two weeks ago was
! Up to the close of business today there
had been an uninterrupted advance all ovel
| the list lasting for more than a week
! II need not be said that such an advance
| is remarkable. The gain made from the
! low prices of the Friday before Christmas
has been all the way from three or four
points in one or two of the slowest secu-
rites to 90 and more points in some of the
most active industrials. The prices before
the panic two weeks ago have been re-
gained in many, if not majority Of cases.
Today's business was small. the holiday
spirit pervading the entire session and
few important changes were recorded. The
top prices for the week were reached,
however, and that at the close of the day.
The bank statement was good. but not
important and had little effect on the mar
ket except perhaps to prevent some real
izing that might otherwise have occurred.
The figures were as follows: Reserves in
creased $7S4.000; loans, increased $373.-
500; specie decreased 1856. 200; legals. in
creased $1,163.0 900; deposits, decreased
$34S. .000; circulation, increased $45, 900. An
/, increase of cash is shown and a further
increase in reserves, but both items are
Insignificant. They do show, however. that
the condition of the banks is improving
slowly despite the exports of gold.
There will be many spectators and in
vestOrs willing to buy securities at the be-
ginning of 1900 who were afraid to do so
at the end of 1899. The coming year will
be a prosperous one for the country with
out doubt. All the commercial agencies,
all the railway returns, and the statements
of the industrial companies show this.
Following on two years in which improve
ment has been rapid in all lines it is Ger
tain that these conditions make the intrin-
sic value of securities now much greater
than it was year ago or six months ago.
As for the technical conditions. the great
disbursements Of interest and dividend in
January. and the buying of securities to
discount the higher prices that will fol-
low. should force a further advance in the
very near future. 1t seems probable how
ever, that some recession from today's best
level may occur before this advance begins
Pacific Mail was the buoyant stock on
the list today. 1t advanced to 46 IL.
gain OF 8 points or more. and total gain
from the low price OF IL 1-2 points. The
boom in the stock from the low level was
expected. and many bought it around the
low price of the movement. Some doust
is still expressed as to the permaneccv II
this advance, on the theory that the b.
sidy bill is not yet near enough to pls-
sage for the Congressional oontingent to

BRYAN Is SARCASTIC
In His Reference to the Policy of the
Administration.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Feb. 1s.-Colonel
auspicies of the Kent County Demo-
ton to increase the army he asks why
it was necessary and said it certainly
could not be on account of any disaster
that had occurred under Republican
rule, because we are told that the peo-
pie are peaceable, prosperous and hap
by. Continuing he said:
DO you want new policy that
makes it necessary for you to have
three times as many soldiers to take
care of so million people as it took to
take care of 20 million of people? Do
you think my friends, that it ought to
take twice as many soldiers to bring
the blessings of beneficent assimilation
to ten million aliens as it required to do
the work among 20 million of people? I
have not said anything as bad against
the Republican policy as that. The
president is more severe in condemnfng
his own policy than have ever been;
when he says that it will take 10000 SOL
diers to make the people accept and
enjoy that kind of government he IS
going to give them, he condemns his
policy more than I do. 1 read his
speech made at Boston and
he said the only thing they
have ever thought of was the happiness
and welfare of these people who by
ing, nothing to be thought of except
their welfare. Well, my friends, 1t
seems to me that we ought not to 50
disguise our good intentions as to hold
these good intentions upon them by
quite so much force.
