IS IT THE TRUTH !?
Cornish Accuses Molineux Of
Sending Bromo Settler
To Him and the Poisonous Kutnow
Powders to Barnet.
Mis- Evidence Creates No Sensation-No Other
New Features.

New York, Feb 23.-Harry Cornish
on the witness stand at the Adams
inquest, today, accused Roland b. Mol
ineux of having sent him bromO self
ger. Ever since Cornish first testified
in the case he has been asking to be
recalled. claiming that when on the
stand at the opening of the inquiry he
had not finished giving his testimony
and since then many statements have
been made by other witnesses which
seemingly contradicted what he had
sworn to.
The court room was crowded, but
COrnish's statements did not create
much of a sensation. His story was
that he thought Molineux had sent
him the poison because he was the
only man who had shown great enmity
towards him; that Molineux had lied
about him and prosecuted him: that he
had lied about others in the club; thai
there was enmity between Barnet and
Molineux and that Molineux had start
ed stories about members of the Knick-
erbocker A. G..
Witness stated that Molineux. being
in rival club, was jealous of him.
He declared that the coroner must
search the athletic clubs of New York
City for the murderer of Mrs. Adams.
He suspected Molineux of having sent
Kutnow powders to Barnet.
He testified that Mrs. Molineux's
statements that she had never been in
Barnet's room alone was false. He
knew of person who had seen Mrs.
MalineuX and Barnet drinking wine in
the latter's room when no other per-
son was present
Witness stated that Molineux was
his bitter enemy and the only man he
knew of who should have a motive for
wishing to take his life.
Cornish was very earnest in testify
ing and contradicted much that he said
when he was first examined by the
coroner. Cornish was asked several
times to give the names of men who
had told the stories that he repeated
about MolineuX. He said that he
could not remember them all. but he
had no doubt these men would come
forward and substantiate his story as
soon as they heard he had told it. He
talked rapidly and at times the jury
could hardly follow him.
The other testimony given, today,
was without special new features.

55th CONGRESS.
Naval Appropriation Bill Passed
by the House.
100000 for Naval Academy---Ar-
NOR Plate Price Fixed at $445.
Rank Of Admiral to be Revived-Rivers and
Harbors In Senate.

Washington, Feb. 23.--The naval APP
Precipitation bill finally passed the
House. this afternoon, after four days
acriminous debate, most of which was
spent upon the question of rehabilita-
ting the naval academy at Annapolis,
in accordance with the scheme inaugu-
rated by the appropriation Of $50O,Ooo
in the last naval bill, and the PROPOSE
ton to increase the maximum price to
be paid for armor plate to $545 per ton
the existing law limiting it to $4oo.
Upon both appropriations the naval
committee suffered signal defeats.
The amendment to build great
armor plate plant was ruled out upon
a point of order. but after rancorous
debate the price to be paid for arlnor
was cut down from $545. the price
which the committee insisted was be-
ing paid for the new Krupp armor. 10
$445 and a prOviso was added also pre-
Guiding the government from paying
more than was paid by any other for
eign government for similar armor.
Another victory over the committee
was secured by the adoption of pro-
vision to the naval bill creating the
rank of admiral of the navy. This
was accomplished by Moody. Mass,
who offered a copy of the Senate bill
creating this rank, as an amendment
to the naval bill. The amendment was
clearly subject to the point of order
against it raised by Mr.. Boutelle, but
the sentiment of the House was so APP
parently unanimous in favor of the
amendment that he withdrew the point
of order and it was adopted without
dissenting vote.
The naval committee had amended
the Senate bill so as to also create
rank of vice admiral. but Mr.. Moody's
amendment was the original Senate
bill without the latter provision
When the bill was reported to the
House, Mr.. BOutelle attempted to Sc
cure reversal of the verdicts of the
committee of the whole on the naval
academy and armor plate amendments.
but in both cases he was defeated,
motion to recommit the bill made by
him being voted down, 70 to 155.
The House again declined to consider
the wn-Swanson contested election
case from the 9Th Virginia district by
vote of 132 to 80. This is the second
attempt to call up this case.
