THE DOUBLE IRA CKING
Ofthe Whitney Avenue Car Line to be
 Done Next Surtuu


 An announcement of interest to the general public and of special interest to the residents of Whitney avenue and adjacent territory can be made this morning. The directors of the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company have voted to begin laying next spring a double track on the Whitney avenue line from the starting point at the Green practically to the city line. Not only will an additional track be laid, but the present rails will be replaced with new and heavier rails, giving the line new rails throughout between the points designated, over which the trans portation is largest The work will be started in the spring as soon as it is practicable to begin operations and pushed forward to completion. The double tracking will enable the road to make quicker trips than now and to run cars more frequently whenever needed. With the double tracking the Whitney avenue road will be first class line in every respect and the en- terprise of the company in making this public spirited change will be more and more appreciated by the numerous patrons of the line as the advantages of the improvement become apparent

THE MOLINEUx TRIAL.
Two Jurymen Accepted After the Ex.
 animation of Fifty-1ive Talesmen.

New York, Nov. 16.-Two of the twelve men who are to try Roland B. MolineuX, accused of causing the death by poison of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams. for his life have been obtained. It took nearly the whole of the third day fthe trial to accomplish even this slight result, however. The men are Matthias l.. B. Martin, a retired stock broker, formerly a member of the Stock exchange and still member of the Consolidated exchange. He is sixty five years old. The other is William G. Post recently retired from the confec- tionery business. MT. Martin took his seat in the jury box at fifteen minutes after 12 o'clock to-day. He was the fifty-f1fth talesman examined since the beginning of the trial. Of the dozen candidates for positions on the jury in the case to-day it is interesting to note that seven were excused because they had conscientious scruples upon the subject of capitaf punishment, three were disqualified because of lack of general information or inability to speak English perfectly, one because he had compunctions of conscience con- cerning the subject of circumstantial evidence and one because his duties as policeman entitled him to be excused. The trial will be resumed tomorrow

coNFID ENoE IN FRENCH MINIsrR r
Vote Passed by Chamber of Deputies
 Statement by the Premier.

| Paris, Nov. 16.-The chamber of dep-
 uties to-day by a vote of $40 to 215, ex- pressed confidence in the government. | The premier, M. Waldeck- Rosseau, dur ing an exciting debate preceding the vote said the situation must be cleared up before discussing 6 party problems. At the present moment, he added, duty dictated concord and union among the republicans in the work of defense and solidarity. The remark caused applause from the left. The most urgent matter before the chamber, he added, was the anti-republican peril. The government, the president pointed out asked to be judged on it's acts and the projects be- for the chamber He denounced the machnations of the enemies of the re- public, Justified the trial of the conspir- acy cases by the high court on the ground that everything was preparing for insurrection, and lsaid We do not think we ought to wait until the coup d'etat was accomplished. Tn fact, the chamber will do us justice. Geftist applause.) The government will re- spect the concordat, but will never confuse the state and recognized clergy with certain religious orders which are increasing in power and becoming more and more menacing" These remarks were greeted with renewed leftst cheers and rightest protests"
 The premier concluded with saying the governemnt programme was ''in- spired by the wish to constitute a so- ciety strong enough to ensure respect for the opinion of every one and inn pose respect for republican institutions. Our programme will be to serve as a rallying flag for all republicans" Sev- eral orders of the day were then pre- scented and M. Waldeck- Rousseau ac- cepted a motion reading that the chamber, approving the acts of gov ernment in defense of the republic, pro- ceeds to the order of the day. The vote was received with loud leftist shouts of "Vive la republique" The chamber then adjourned.

PROT. CHI1TENDE EMS YIEWS.
Given Before Com m iss on Investigating
 AduIternti0m of Food.


 New York, Nov, 16.-Senator Mason of the United States senate committee on manufactures, continued to-day the investigation into the adulteration of food products. Prof. Russell H. Chit tenden, professor of physiological chem istry at Yale university, director of the Sheffield school of science and pres ident of the American Physiological so- ciety, described the action of antisep- acid, which brewers have testified is used as a prcservative, Prof. Chitten- den said retards digestion. Borax has like effect, but he had found no dele terious effect from the use of boracic acid in small quantities. Very few of the general food products on the mark ct analysed by Prof. Chittenden show ed the presence of anti-septics as pre- servatives.
 Asked an opinion as to the value of national law regulating the use of conservatives, Prof. Chittenden said the best result would be obtained by com polling manufacturers to stamp on their products the nature and quantity of the preservatives used. He believed there should be a law prohibiting the use of coloring matter in preserving fruits and vegetables. Oleomargarine, imitation maple sugar and other like products Prof. Chittenden said should be sold for what they are, and law should be enacted forbidding their sale under any other conditions. Prof. Chit tenden said he would favor the fixing of a United States standard of purity of all food products including liquors and the appointment of a commission of scientific experts to fix such stand ards.

London, Nov. 1s.-A despatch received

London, Nov 16.--A despatch received here to-day from Pietermarltzburg dated November il, says that it is ru- mored there that General Piet Joubert commanderin- chief of the Boer forces, has been killed in action. Though the report of General Joubert's death comes from different quarters, it is obvious that it needs confirmation before it can be accepted as true. Nothing is known at the war office of his reported death At the same time, many persons be- lieve it to be well founded, as the gen. erals death is said to have taken place on November 9, when the Boer rif1emen were understood to be within l.500 yards of Ladysmith. As severe fight ing between the British and the Boers the same day has since been reported, it is regarded in some quarters as quite possible that the general, always noted for his personal courage and coolness, may have dangerously exposed himself in personal reconnaissance of the British position.
 It is said here that the death of Jou bert would be likely to lead to the adop- tion by the Boers of bolder and more active tactics, as it is we'll known that General Joubert was a cautious and conservative commander and that he had considerable difficulty in restrain ing his hot-headed followers.
