Il found him in small, typical
Dutch hotel. His face betrayed the
ravages of the anxiety OF recent
months and he is terribly lonely. He
told me he had hardly spoken to any
one since he left England. He declin-
cd to say anything about the inquiry
now in progress before the court of
cessation, but did indulge in violent
anti-Jewish TRADE,
''Esterhazey declared that the Drey-
fus affair is bitter racial war, legiti-
mate and natural, a defence against
the most terrible invasion which ever
menaced Europe, observing that UNI
happily the defenders were not agreed
among themselves. He complained
that while he was left in the most alb
solute tranquility during his stay in
England he had been continually
threatened and insulted in Holland

The Mystery Still Unsolved - Detectives
Making Progress.
New York. January 1.-THE World
tomorrow will publish the following:
These new points were developed
yesterday (F'riday) in the poison mys-
terry. Prof. Witthaus found that Kut-
now's powder was mixed with the cy-
anide of mercury in the false bromo
settler bottle sent to Harry Cornish,
the mixture which killed Mrs. Adams.
This is considered most important,
as making absolutely certain that the
sender of the poison to Cornish was
one and the same with the sender of
cyanide of mercury to Henry Crossman
Barnet in Kutnow's powder box.
The wife of Roland B. Molineux is
now very i'll. Her condition was de-
scribed as pitiable by her sisters.
Mrs. Molineux received knowledge dur
ing the day that the police had found a
letter signed with love, Blanche" writ
ten by Mrs Molineux to Mr.. Barnet, and
that this letter had been submitted to
handwriting expert for comparison with.
the writing on the package containing tho
holder and false bromo-seltZer bottle sent
to Cornish. She became aware, also, that
Investigations were being made into her
past her acquaintance with Barnet, and
her marriage to Molineux.
Captain NIcCluskey announced that the
letter in Mrs. Molineux's handwriting was
an ordinary missive. He asserted that 1t
was merely laid before the Handwriting
expert as have been specimens of writ
ing by all those mentioned in the case.
