MRS. MoLINEUx ON THE STAND.
She Makes No Effort to Eyndc Ques-
tions Asked Her.

New York, Feb 21-Mrs. Roland B.
Nolineux, as well as Mrs. Florence b.
I,ogers, was a witness today at the inquest
into the death of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams
by poison. Mrs. MolineuX made no at
tempt to fence with Mr.. Osborne or TO
antagonize him. She told of her acquaint-
ance with Barnet and of the last time she
saw him alive. which was several months
before his death: admitted writing to
Barnet the note which has come to be
familiarly known as the Blanche note;
explained what she meant by the use OF
certain words and expressions in it: told
OF all the places she had lived in New
York: told of visiting the rooms or bar
net and Molineux at the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club on occasions wnen sne was
the only woman present, but when there
were a number of men; told about yacht
cruises: denied that she had ever per-
mitted Barnet 10 pay any Of her bills. and
denied that she ever sat for picture with
Barnet or with Barnet and Molineux.
Mrs Rogers objected to good many
questions which appeared to be irrelevant
She told of her early life, of her marriage,
of her separation from her husband, OF the
source OF her income, its approximate
amount and explained, to a certain extent,
why she had hired private letter box.
She admitted that she was not on friendly
terms with Mrs. Saunders, the sister oil
Harry Cornish, but the Assistant District
Attorney was not able to find out whether
this unfriendliness was caused by the TACT
that Harry Cornish boarded with the wit
ness or not. He was likewise unable TO
find out if any of Cornish's other relatives
had become estranged from him because
he chose to board with Mrs. Rogers. Mrs.
Rogers testified that Mrs. Adams lett no
estate. that her life was uninsured, and
that. in fact the mother was dependent
upon the daughter. DIR. Potter, Mrs
Rogers testified. had sworn falsely when
he stated that she had said to Cornish after
her mothers death: Keep this quiet; you

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY %. 1899.
The First Expnnsionist.

The original American expansionist was
George Washington. The minority in this
country-a minority which has shrunk TO
a very small size. indeed. since the address
OF the President at Boston-will doubtless
take advantage of this anniversary of his
birth to repeat his warnings against for
eign complications and tc maintain that it
Is their idea TO construe the doctrines he
enunciated. But George Washington's life
and achievements speak more forcibly than
any phrases.
His warnings were uttered when the col
onies had just emerged from cruel war
with foreign power and the trials of
that conflict were fresh in the memory OF
the man whose burden was heavy. Well
might he hope that the few millions Of
people with a continent still to vanquish-
continent of which an enormous part had
still to be explored and to wrest which
from the wilderness was a task that must
tax the energies of the few and weary
people TO the utmost-might escape further
wars 1t was the instinct of self-preserva-
ton that bade him charge the people to
make the most of their secluslon to build
up strong nation.
But he labored for expansion-to form
from the scattered and Independent colon
les great American Republic. His own
colony Virginia, had men who. like the
provincialists of today, cried out against
an expansion of their interests so as to
combine them with those OF their neigh
bors. Each colony had its own narrow
concerns and in each there was a noisy
minority who became hysterical over the
new departure advocated by Washington.
They urged that each State was sufficient
to itself and its domestic affairs must suf-
fer If others were added to it. Washington
lriumphed and out of his labors came the
American Union. A set of small colonies
expanded into a nation that in time won
the respect of the world.
From the direction of Washlngton's am
bition. We have every warrant 10 judge that
if he could speak today it would be in favor
of America taking its proper rank among
the powers and assuming all its duties,
responsibilities, rights, and benefits The
little nation 10 which he addressed his
warnings has grown beyond the widest
dreams Of his time. In riches and strength,
in reserve power, and in promise, it leads
the worlds procession. No longer is ii
necessary for our mere self-protection to
take advantage OF our geographical posi-
tion to eyade the duties imposed on us by
civilization and by the lofty desires of ouI
OWN heroic people. To expand is to do re-
spect to the noble mission of Washington
to carry on in the great field of the world
the work for humanity which he began
Nothing is more unjust to the life and
memory of that first great American than
TO quote him in favor of cowardice and
folly. He was the first expansionist and
his courage dwells with the people whc
honor him today.

Cuban Tobacco.

(From the Brooklyn Edgle.)
The import into the United States OF Cuban
tobacco before the war was large. and some
thousands OF pounds remain here still, but the
price of good cigars is exorbitant and the pro-
portion of them containing leaf from the yuelta
Ahaio or other favored districts is constantly
growing smaller II the best tobacco lands are
put under cultivation the annual yield will
amount, ii is believed, to 81. 900 900. though 4
couple of years must elapsc before the best re-
suits are gained. This Is worth trying for

bilitics. and probabilities in Porto Rico. Tobac-
60 culture in that island has been largely neg
lectcd, probably because Cuba near, and the
industry was better organized the larger
island That il has the needed soil no less than
the climate is hardly to be doubted Ii some
bad tobacco has come from there it is also
known that bad tobacco has from Cuba
likewise. Much depends on cultivation, on treat
ment after harvesting and soil and tempcra-
turc. II all hopes fail, they still grow weeds in
Connecticut and onions are said TO be looking up

The AIgcr Junket.

The junketing trip Of Secretary Alger
and his friends of the Senate and House
of Representatives to Cuba and Porto
Rico will cost the Government something
like a quarter Of million. it is estimated,
although there is no fund on which Alger
IS authorized to draw for the purpose A

The Secretary Of War should conduct
party Of Representatives and Senators and
their wives and relatives to the tropics
at this convenient season. That the mem
bers Of the party will find 1t an agreeable
change from the moist and raw weather
of early March in the North, is clear
enough, but 1t has not been considered a
part Of the Governments duty to its legis-
lators TO pay the expenses of a Southern
journey.
1t is useless TO ask why the guests of

people. 1t is suggested that the Secretary
has in view the investment of capital in
Cuban enterprises and this might be
good thing for the island: but as he is
not likely TO base his investments on any
other than business grounds but Will in
Eist on fair percentage Of profit, he
might be expected TO pay his own fare.
The Congressman who become Alger's
guests also become, in a sense, his
debtors. They have no claims on his
hospitality even though the Government
pays the bills, but owe him measure Of

occur to cautious legislator. who lives

While it will be displeasnE TO many to thinl,
that man with three wives is sitting in the

GENERAL WA SHLNGTON
NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Senator ProctOr's Amendments -
the amendment proposed by Senator and
former Secretary of War Redfeld Proctor
to the Army Reorganization bill is one
that commends itself to army officers
generally and may. 1t is said. meet the
most serious objection to the Hull bill
raised by the Democratic minority in the
Senate. 1t may be that Senator Proctor
suggestion comes too late to do any good;
the lines have been so tightly drawn that
neither side is now disposed TO yield an
inch Probably If Senator Proctor's pro-
pOsal had been brought forward several
weeks ago the Army bill would today nave
a smooth road ahead of it. However, II
is just possible in the opinion OF conser-
vatiye observers that the Vermont Senator
has hit upon a plan that may result IN
breaking the deadlock over the Army bill.
If this should prove to be true the pros
poets for an extra session next spring VIII
vanish into thin air Algerism is chiefly
responsible for the opposition to the HUI
bill. There is a sincere conviction in the
minds of many people, and it is not alto
gether confined to the Democratic ranks.
that Mr.. Alger ought not to be permitted
TO make the permanent staff appointments
provided in the Hull measure. Senator
PROCTOR gets around tnlS Dy prONiullR tutl
staff appointments shall be made from
the line and only for a term of four years.
The same system obtains in the navy and
experience has shown it to work very
well. In the opinion of army officers it
would improve the military service if
adopted in the army II is in line with
the suggestions made by General Schofield
General Miles, and other high officers of
the army.
1t is expected that the War Department
will make vigorous effort to kill the
Proctor amendment. as it ignored the sug-
gestions of a similar character made by
Miles, Schofield and others. However, thc
| situation is now somewhat different. The
| Administration is confronted with crisis
| Unless it yields and accepts Senator Proc
| tors amendment the Army bill will be lost
| and an extra session will be inevitable
| Even at an extra session it is considered
| by no means certain that the Hull BILL II
/ its present form, can be forced through
| The Administration will, 1t is believed
would be better for it to come down grace
fully now than to suffer the humilia
| tion of being forced to do so at an extr;
session. 1t is pointed out, however, tina
there is now no certainty of the passag

Democratic Advisory Committee

Democratic Advisory Committee
The announcement of the members of the
advisory or campaign committee appointed
by Chairman Jones, OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, is attracting some at
tention. In addition to Mr. Jones. the
committee includes Senator Stephen VI.
White, Of California; d. J. Campau OF
Michigan; Norman z. Mack of New York;
John p. Altgeld. of Illinois; and George
Fred Williams, of Massachusetts. Mr..
Campau, ii is understood, will probably be
elected chairman of the new committee.
All of its members are believed to be
heartily in favor of the nomination of Mr..
Bryan for President next year and making
the Democratic fight along the same lines
as those of 1886. Every member of the
committee, it is said, is or was a pro-
nounced nti-eXpansionist. Whether they
have modified their views upon this sub
ject since the ratification OF the Peace
Treaty is an open question. The selection
of former Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, for
a place on this committee creates some
surprise. Mr.. Altgeld and Mayor Carter
Harrison, of Chicago, have been engaged
in a contest for the control of the Demo-
cratic organization in Illinois. The selec-
tion of Altgeld by Chairman Jones will give
him certain advantage over Harrison and
indicates that so far as possible the ma
tional machinery of the Democratic party
will be at Altgelds disposal. Carter Har-
rlsOn is a very energetic and lively young
han. however. and he is likely to make
matters interesting for Mr.. Altgeld. not
withstanding the fact that the latter has
been recognized By the Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. 1t is said
that the immediate cause for the preference
shown to Mr. Altgeld in this connection
Was the SIIsDicion that MayOr Harrison was
secretly negotiating with Richard Croker.
Harrison went to New York in 1897 and
made speech for Mayor Van Wyck the
Tammany candidate for Mayor of New
York There will be mayoralty election
in Chicago this spring. and Mr.. Altgeld, it
is said, hopes to prevent the denomination
of Mayor Harrison.
