THE ADAMS POISONING.
Harry Cornish Promises Important
Developments on Monday.

Developments on Monday.
New York. Feb. 1S.-Without max
Ing very great progress toward the So
luton of the mysterious Adams pois-
cning case, the coroner's inquest yes
terday afternoon adjourned over until
Monday. The most important develop
ments connected with yesterdays ses-
sion were the testimony OF John d.
Adams, the secretary of the Knicker-
booker Athletic club. who went upon
the witness stand and told how he hap
pened to mention Roland B. Molineux
in connection with the sending Of the
bromo seltzer to Cornish, the request
Of Cornish to again go upon the stand
and the statement of DR.. Hitchcock
that If he were again put upon the
stand he could clear up the mystery Of
the two glasses.
ShCrtly after the noon recess Harry
Cornish sent a friend to Coroner Hart
asking for a private conference. The
coroner sent back word to the physical
director that he saw no need of pri-
Vate conference, and that he could tell
publicly all he knew by resuming the
witness stand.
Cornish announced his immediate
readiness to testify again. What l
shall disclose will help measurably in
solving this mystery" he said. 1t is
very probable he viii give his evidence
on Monday.
4 report emanated yesterday from
the district attorneys office to the eff
feet that the persons who had mur-
dered Mrs. Adams and Henry c. Bar
net were known, and that the state
had sufficient evidence to convict them.
This evidence has not yet been sub
mittcd to the grand jury, nor will any
Of the lawyers at the district attor-
ney's office or Colonel Gardiner HIM
self explain the delay.

HIS Last Day III Boston n Continual

Boston, Feb. 1S.-The last dav Of
President McKinley's visit to Boston
was spent in one continual round Of
pleasure, and the different events
which were crowded into the few re-

THE BEEF INQUIRY.
Tho Investigators Of Miles Charges
Begin Their Work.
WILL VISIT THE PACKING HOUSES

The Taking of Testimony VIII Prob
pectcd That General Miles Will Be
the First Witness Called to tho stand.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The court of
inquiry to investigate the allegations
Of the major general Of the army in
respect to the quality of the beef fur
nished the army during the war with
Spain met yesterday at the rooms for
merly occupied by the war investiga-
tion commission, In the Lemon building.
A full membership was present and
the court went into secret session to
discuss the preliminaries Of the pro-
ceedings and to endeavor to sketch out
the line Of inquiry to be pursued.
After the meeting Colonel Davis. the
recorder, gave out statement as to the
court and its work. An examination
Of reports Of regmental and other COM
manders who participated in the Gu
ban and Porto Rican campaigns is first
In order, the object being to select wit
nesses to be summoned. In addition
to these reports the proceedings of the
war inquiry commission will be looked
into for suggestions of witnesses. The
taking of testimony hardly viii! begin
before Monday. The session then will
be open.
General Miles Is expected to testify
first presenting his charges and their
foundations. The investigation will be
limited strictly to canned rcest beef
and refrigerated beef, but the scope of
thn y,ilI ln nba,, .;,,a
as to follow the beef from packer to
private soldier, SO that the action Of
the packers and all war department
officials connected with the beef supply
will be investigated. Colonel Davis
said the inquiry would be continued
indefinitely, and said he could give no
idea as to the time Of It's termination.
1t was learned that the court has
practically determined TO visit the
packing houses in western critics from
which beef was furnished. The pill
gramage will take in Chicago, South
Omaha, Kansas City and perhaps st.
Louis. Some Of the officers whose re-
porls General Miles has placed with
the court are now in the Philippines.
Their testimony will not be sought. or
course they could not be ordered here,
and the taking Of their depGsitions
would be attended with too much delay
and Inconvenience. 1t was pointed out
by a member of the court that their
testimony would be culminatve, anI
therefore really unnecessary, since it
would net be in accord generally with
what would come from officers who are
accessible. The dispositions of num-
Der Of officers now in Cuba will be
taken.

Compromise to Avert Extra Session.
Washington, Feb. lS--There Is
pronounced movement in the senate
looking to compromise on the army
reorganization bill. The movement
originated with severa, Republican
senators, who advanced the opinion
that a compromise was preferable to
an extra session of congress. The
Cockrell bill was accepted by them as
the first advance on the part of the
Democrats towards an understanding.

Presidents Pardon Gives Liberty.

Washington, Feb. 1S.--The president
has granted a pardon to John r.
Jacobs. Choctaw Indian. convicted OF
killing James Morallio in the Choctaw
nation In 1888, for which he Is now
serving life sentence in the peniten-
tlary. 1t appears that Jacobs was only
u years old when the crime was COM
mitted, and has now served 90 years.
This, together with the fact that the
killing took place under circumstances
peculiarly aggravating, prompted the
president to restore him to liberty. The
president also pardoned Ignacio Gal
ESQ now serving term In Arizona
ioi smuggling. Gallego recently dis
closed a rlot to kill the jailer and re-
jn2ea al of the prisoners.

DENEY'S INSTRUCTIONS.
He Must Seize Every Island Of the
Philippines Group.
LOCAL OFFICIALS TO REMAIN

Unless They Prove Refractory and
Offer. Resistance-It Is Not AnticI-
pated There VIII Be Necessity For
Any Formidable Demonstrations.
Washington, Feb. 18.-The admin
istration has determined rapidly to en-
e tend the jurisdiction Of the United
States over the whole of the Philippine
group, acting on the theory that de-
lay in this case is dangerous. and that
anarchy and general paralysis Of
such interests as the islands support
will be brought about through fail
ure promptly to replace the Spanish
sovereignty over the islands by that
of the United States. This decision
involves the necessity of a naval cam
paign, and this will be instituted as
soon as Admiral Dewey receives the
, reinforcements of gunboats now on the
way to Manila.
1T Is not anticipated that there will
, be necessity for any formidable dem
onstrations but the very fact that the
United States government Is able to
exhibit sufficient force to accomplish
the purpose Of occupation is expected
: to deter the natives from profltless re-
! sistance. Owing to the vast number of
the Philippine islands large number
of gunboats would be required to visit
them simultaneously, so that the pro-
gram will be to have the vessels visit
in order the principal towns outside of
. Manila, especially those where Spanish
garrisons were maintained on the ISL
ard of Cebu and at Zamboango, on the
Island of Mindanao, and some of the
: cities on the Negros.
The naval vessels probably will be
accompanied by some troop transports,
and the soldiers will be landed where
necessary to hoist the United States
flag and take possession formally of
the ports. 1t is understood that there
will be no attempt made at this time
to dsplace any Of the existing mu-
nicipal governments, except where
they prove refractory and offer resist
ance. In fact. policy of conciliation
viii be followed at all points in the
treatment of the natives.
