MARTHA BAILEY,s CASE.
Testimony About the Death o
George W. kiah


Cambridge. Md, Jan. 26< Martha Bal
ley. colored. was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice ]. II. C. Barrett
yesterday afternoon. The prisoner, who
is short, stout, and very back and wears
glasses. wasS a model of composure
throughout the trial.
Dr. Guy Steele testified to having he.ped
perform an autopsy on the body Of George
Kiah. coiored. and to having attended the
family on Thursday. January IL, when
they were all taken sick at dinnsr. He
said that from their symptoms he thought
they had been poisoned by arsenic or cor
roslve subiimate. HE also testified to hav-
ing tasted the flour and to have eaten Il
small piece of an oyster fritter. to which
they attributed their illness. He describ-
ed briefly their treatment with mi X,
emetics, and antidotes. which testimony
was corroborated by Drs. Mace and 90 ds-
borough. who were called in the same al
ternoon.
According to the testimony CT both DR..
Mace and DR.. Steele, George W. Kiah had
no attention beyond the advice to take
some medicine prescribed for his wife, as
no uneasiness was felt about him until a
short time before his death. and when the
doctors were then sent for they were not
found until too late. They reached the
hoNse after his death.
Dr. Mace testified that when first called
to attend Kiah's wife he thought from
her symptoms and what the family said
about some meat which they had cat L
that she was suffering from ptomaine
poison.
Serena Kiah, daughter of George W.
Kiah, testified to having purchased the
flour and tea which were in the house at
the time of her fathers death She said
they were bought on Christmas Eve about
p. m, and taken home, where they were
placed in the receptacles in which they
we're usually held and which were kept
in their kitchen, room which, she said,
Martha Bailey was familiar with from hav-
ing cooked in 1t. Serena further testified
that she saw Martha Bailey standing in the
yard of her cousins house, which was
next door, and peering in the window OF
Kiah residence. to which she called her
brothers attention. Later in the evening
she and her brother left the house, part
of which was occupied by another woman
but no one remained in the kitchen. Sere-
ma on ross-examination said she told no
one of seeing Martha Bailey until after
her fathers death, and that she made some
bread out of the flour on Sunday morning
and that no one was harmed by it.
colored girl named Griffith testified to
having heard some words between Kiah
and Martha two years ago
After some further unimportant testi-
mony and argument by States Attorney
Higgins for the prosecution and Emerson
c. Harrington for the defence. Justic,
Barrett remanded the prisoner to Jail tt

MENDAcITY OR PAREsIsp
Ayers FaIsihcntion of History Yes
terdny Under Oath.

While Secretary AIger was testifying
before the Alger Relief Commission yes
terday, he was asked b. General Beaver,
one Of the Commissioners. this question:
General. 90 you know why the In
spector General. after his appointment to
command, was sent to Santiago?"
To this the Secretary of War replied:
AT the request of the Major General
Commanding the Army the Inspector Cen
eral was made chief inspector on his staff.
Whether the Inspector General was given
a command at his own request or whether
he was assigned 40 o command by the
Major General Commanding the Army
do not know"
1t now appears that the official tele
graphic correspondence on this subject
tells an entirely different story from that
related by Secretary Alger, under oath,
while he was on the witness stand yester-
day. These kilograms showed that Gen
eral Shafter and not General Miles re-
quested that the Inspector General ac-
company him (Shafter) TO Santiago. and
that Adiutant General Corbins approval
OF Skaters request was approved by the
Secretary of War.
Corbin's official kilograms speak for
themselves. They follow:

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18th 1899.

HUM OUh MCMILLAN OOhnCSfoNDcNA -
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18th 1899.
"Boss" Mason is the title that has
been jocularly given to Senator Mason,
since he compelled the Senate to agree
to vote on the McEnery Philippine res
clution. 1t wasn't new thing that
Senator Mason did, either. He merely
got the floor and made a sensational
speech about our killing the Fillpinos
and promises that had been made to get
votes for the ratification of the treaty.
and which Senators were trying to
squirm out Of. and then announced his
intention to keep on talking until the
Senate agreed to vote on the McEnery
resolution. The Senate agreed at once.
Senator Quay worked this dodge in the
tariff debate. In this particular in
stance. the whole thing is case OF
much to do about nothing" as no sort
OF resolution adopted by the Senate
would be anything more than simply
an expression Of the opinion of the ma
jority. which would be binding on no
body.
A battle royal ia on between the Pres.
ident and the Senators who oppose the
Hull Army bill, which was recently
passed by the House, and which after
being slightly amended in committee
has been reported to the Senate. These
Senators say that the bill will not be
allowed to pass. and offer az comp-o-
mise. to authorize the maintenance of
the present status of the regular army,
for another year from the first of next
July. The President rejected the com.
promise, and served notice on those who
rendered it, that if the Hull Bill was
not passed, he would call an extra ses-
sion of the next Congress as soon as the
present session ends. The Senators cay
they intend to fight the Hull bill to the
end and that they can stand an extra
session if the President can. There the
matter stands. If one or the other
doesn't give way, an extra session is GER

Tea Cigarettes.

The ordinary much maligned tobacco
cigarette, says a medical journal, must
yield up the finest place as destroyer
Of nerves and vitality and general enc
my of mankind. Its successful rival,
which has appeared recently in the
Geld, is the tea cigarette. 1t Is made
from unbroken leaves Of green tea mix.
ed with little tea dust. The cOmbina.
ton Is moistened, rolled and inserted
In a paper wrapper SO that outwardly
It looks like an ordinary cigarette. The
effects are peculiar. The smoker first
experiences a thickening sensation OF
the head and is afflicted with a desire
to sit down. This phase Is followed
by a period of intense exhilaration,
which, presumably, accounts for the
habit; the third phase Is nausea and
disgust for all food.
The beginning Of recovery is marked
by a yearntng Tor tea In any form.
The tea cigarette habit is said to be
peculiarly difficult to overcome.
