Sensation in the Molineux Case.

New York, Dec. 9.-The first week oil
taking testimony in the Molineux case
closed late yesterday afternoon. Just
before the court closed occurred the
two sensations of the day. Weeks had
been fighting each separate bit OF
writing but finally Osborne started to
secure the admission of the so-called
Burns letter, written to maker of 3
certain salve. Weeks cried out i'm
patiently; lob, we don't dispute the
authorship of that letter. Defendant
admits that he wrote it," This letter,
which is not in disguised handwriting
is written upon that peculiar blue
paper, with the three crescents crest
upon which all the so-called Cornish"
and Barnet" letters are written and al
the coroner's inquest Molineux positive
ly swore that he never had nor saw any
paper of that kind. The defendants
attorney sprung another sensation as
he declared "It is not important,
anyhow. When the proper time comes,
we will produce samples of handwriting
that no one can doubt were written by
the same hand that addressed your
package and we will prove who that
man was. 1t was not the defendant
either" be added. This indicates that
the defense has surprise ready and il
confident OF safely springing tremen-
dous sensation that will open the
prison doors for Molineux.

of rebuking Mormonism, by shutting

broken it's compact with the United

ices. The right of Congress to de-
clare Utah's statehood forfeited is not
clearly defined, but there is no doubt
that if the breaking of the compact he
tween the United States and Utah
should be established, Congress could
refuse to allow the State representation

CONVENTION.
| dispatch from Richmond says

The proposition for constitutional con-
vention, it is stated upon the authority of the
most prominent dem ocratic managers, has the
support OF Senators Daniel and Martin Both
of these gentlemen, it is conceded by the
same gentlemen, see that the convention is
bound to come and that no opposition can de.
feat it. The question will be made strict
party one, aud therefore little difficulty, it is
believed, will be found in carrying the prop
osition when submitted to the people. The
time at which this is to be done is the only
question, it nov appears, upon which there Is
difference of opinion among the leaders. The
objection to its submission to thevoters next
year is that it would during presid entail
contest arouse race issues which the republi-
cans might utilize.

A FEW years ago the then Mr.. NC
Kinley denounced the then President
Cleveland for attempting to debase Sill
yer. one of the coin metals of the cur
renew of the country, but the now
President Mckinley does precisely the
same thing. If he be right now, he
must have been wrong then. A young
man may change his political opinions
without subjectiug himself to just ad-
verse criticism, but it is impossible for
matured one to do so. But the men
whose money bought the Presidency
for Mr.. Mckinley three years ago, are
opposed to bimetallism, and their pleas

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Gen. Lord Paul Methuen's army at
Modder river, Cape Colony, has been
cut off from it's line of communication
by Beers. but an official dispatch from
Capetown, sent by General Forester
Walker to London last night, states
that communication has been reopened.
A force of Beers under Commandsnt
Prin Loos, estimated by General For
estier-Walker to number 100 men, blew
up railroad culvert at Gras Pan, 90
miles in the rear of General Methuen,
and also cut the telegraph line. A fight
occurred, in which the British lost IA
wounded. The reopening of communi-
cation indicates that the Beers we're
driven away, temporarily, at least.
A dispatch issued by Boer agency
in Berlin, if it be correct, indicates that
General Methuen is surrounded by
about $1,000 Beers. His own force is
estimated at 1000. General Cronje,
according to these advices, is on the
north bank of the Modder river, facing
Methuen with an army.
The reconstruction of the bridge at
Frere, Natal, has been completed. It
is over this bridge that the British were
to advance to the relief of General
White, at Ladysmith. A delayed Pre-
toria dispatch, dated Thursday, iadi-
Gates that the advance has already be-
gun, but without definite result, as far
as known.
A dispatch from General Butler con.
firms the statement that photographic
communication has been fully estab-
lished with Ladysmitb, and that Gen.
erals Butler and White have been con-
ferring as to their future movements,
Extremely heavy firing began at
Ladysmith Thursday, the date of the
last advices. The garrison was still
holding out. Since November l the
British there mad lost 81 killed, l45
wounded and missing. The Beers
we're mounting many new cannon, in=
Guiding pneumatic dynamite gun.
Lady Sarah Wilson, wife of a captain
in the Royal Horse Guards, who is in
the Mafeking garrison. has been cap
tured by Beers. President Kruger pro.
poses an exchange for her.
Reinforoements, including artillery,
are arriving at Sterkstroom to strength

vert portion of the Orange Free State
forces from obstructing the advance of
