REPORT OF CHEMIST.
He Believes Mrs. Adams Died From Et-
fects of Mercuric Cyanide.

New York. Jan 31.--The police have
nothing new today about the Adams
poisoning case, and apparently have
made no discoveries tending to the i'm
mediate arrest of any one The report
of r. A. Witthaus, the expert chemist
who analysed the contents of the stom-
ach of Mrs. Adams, was submitted to
Coroner Hart today. In part, it is as
follows:
On Saturday, Dec. 81, 1898, 1 received
from Dr. Weston three glass anatomi-
cal jars containing "a stomach and in
test1nes; CD a brain; (S) liver, kidneys.
heart and lungs. Upon the same day,
received from Capt. McClusky a blue
glass bottle in which was a white pow
der.
A complete examination of the pow
der showed the presence of the fol-
lowing substances: Potassium, sodium,
mercury, carbonic acid, cYanogen bro
mide, q trace of chlorine, tartaric acid
and acetanilid. The potassium was
probably present as potassium bromide,
the sodium as sodium bicarbonate, and
the mercury as mercury cyanide. The

examined for mercury and cyanogen,
both of which were found to be pres

its contents, is sufficient in absence of
other violent causes of death, to war

OUR POLICY,
How We Should Act Toward Philippines
Discussed in Senate.

Discussed in Senate.
Washington, Jan. 31-During almost
the entire morning hour today, the SEN
ate had under discussion the policy Of
this country to be pursued in the Phil
ippine Islands Mr.. Berry of Arkan-
sas. in speech upon the resolution
offered by Mr.. Vest. discussed the pol
icy of expansion without a reference to
the constitutional point involved in the
Vest resolution. He spoke from notes,
stating with force and emphasis his OBJ
jections to the pending treaty of peace.
He declared that he would never vote
to place upon any people a policy
against which Lee fought and against
which Jackson gave up his life.
An attempt by Mr., Bacon of Georgia
to secure a vote upon his resolution,
which declares that the United States
government will not make war upon q
people seeking for their freedom, pre-
cipitated a lively debate which was
participated In by Mr.. Plat of Con-
nectcut and Mr.. Teller Of Colorado.
Mr.. Bacon declared that he would not
vote for the treaty unless some such
declaration were adopted by congress.
At this Mr.. Platt carefully analyzed
the situation which confronts this coun-
try in the Philippines. No action ON
the resolutions was taken.

petent engineer is said to have sur-
gested that change of route by which
the railroad tracks will CROSS the sewer
only once in the entire city. He places
the figure at 100000 at the highest.
The new commission might see that
Millbrook can be easily diverted either
through Grafton or Green streets. If
the present work on the separating sys-
tenn is continued 1t might preclude the
possibility of any such project. If the
plan is feasible the work could be done
at the same time, performing two tasks
for the cost of one. For these reasons
it is suggested that the city wait and
see what can be done ON the grade eros
sing problem before continuing the
work on the separating system.

Wait until the new grade crossing
commission gets to Investigating. 1t is
possible that the new commission may
conclude that a change in the route of
Millbrook is the only thing to be done
so that the depressed tracks system
can be adopted.
Very little attention has been given
to the possibility of making a new route
for Millbrook. Most of the discussion
has been on the feasibility of lowering
the present bed. There has been some
talk on change OF route through
Water, Grafton and Summer streets.
Another plan is suggested, to change

The frequent cases of nervous
prostratIon or utter collapse OF the
nervous system under which women
,,go all to pieces as the saying Is,
have caused much thought and IN
vestigation on the part OF physi
clans
Certain organic substances are
well known to cause various forms OF
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing
them. Further research leads to the
belief that alum is prevailing cause
OF so called nervous prostrstion, for
the symptoms it produces on the
nervous system after its absorption
into the blood are very remarkable
indeed Experiments physiologie
ally made upon animals by Orhla,
Professors Hans Mayer, Paul Ssim
and others, show that alum frequent
ly produces no visible symptoms for
many days after its introduction ipto
the body. Then follows loss Of APP
petite and other alimentary disturb
ances, and finally serious prostra
ton of the whole nervous system.
The most prominent physicians now
believe that nervous prostration
and many affections of the nerves
from which both men and womafi
suffer are caused by the continued
absorption OF alum into the system
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware OF the extent TO
which salts OF alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being nader
the impression that the use OF alum
in bread is prohibited. Alum, how
ever, Is still used sureptitiously &c
some extent in whiten bread, and
very largely in making cheap kinds
of baking powder In families where
baking powder is generally used
great care should be exercised tc
procure only those brands made from
cream Of tartar. The alum powders
may generally be distinguished by
the lower price at which they are
sold.
