THE DAY FIXED.
coronor's Investigation Into Adams Pois-
oning Case Begins Tomorrow.

New York, Feb Activity is prom
Used in investigating the poisoning of
Mrs. Adams, for acting on the orders
of District Attorney Gardner, Coroner
Hart today designated Friday as the
day on which he should begin the in
quest. Coroner Hart had previously
fixed Feb. 9 for the inquest, urging that
the coroner's court would be occupied
right up to that date in hearing other
cases, but the district attorney in a
sharp letter to the coroner today, point
ed out that there had been unwarrant-
able delay, and that the inquiry must
proceed with all dispatch.
Chief Of Detectives McC1uskey de-
clared this afternoon that a new and
important clue had been discovered in
the poisoning mystery, and that before
the week was out disclosures would be
made that would cause a great sur
prise. He refused to make any further
definite statement in the matter. Two
members of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club, not yet mentioned as suspects,
are attracting the attention Of the de-
teetives. Information tending to connect
them with the case has come to Capt.
McClusky's notice. It is said that in
case of each man there exists motive
that might lead him to attempt the
life of Harry Cornish. The question of
motive in the Barnet case is receiving
especial attention at present from Capt.
McClusky. In this, he thinks, may be
found the key to the whole mystery.

THE ISSUE.
Spaniards Demand
Better Treatment
FROM THE CUBANS.
What They Will Do If
Threats Continue.

Havana, Feb. lei Diario de La
Marina will tomorrow publish a lead
ing editorial declaring that, if the Gu
bans continue their threats and abuse
with respect to the Spaniards, the lat
ter will be forced to leave the country
or to pray the United States to annex
the island forthwith.
Ell Diario represents the conservative
Spanish interests, and it's managers
decided upon the publication of the
editorial after consultation with the
leading Spaniards in Havana.
The editorial will say: "All the
newspapers support the policy of an
amalgamation of Cuban and Spanish
interests inaugurated by Gen. Maxine
Gomez. But they also print diatribes
against the SpaniardS and the Cuban
autonomists. They applaud when an
army man is appointed to a position,
Dut they cenSure when a pacifico is
given work by the Americans. If the
matter were confined to the press, it
would not be insufferabe, because,
arising from temporary excitement and
hatred, 1t would be modified in time;
but the mischief is that actions follow
words. Perhaps the day is not distant
When the Spaniards and Cuban auto
nomlsts may have to consider seriously
the question of leaving the country. as
they are daily told to do, or to bend
every energy toward the annexation of
cuba to the United States.
Ihey are being forced to take one
position or the other. Already they are
asked IF we are so treated and threat
ened under the protection of the Amer
leans, what will happen when the
Americans are gone and the Cubans
are in control?" The Spaniards are not
the enemies of Cuba. All have families
ana business interests. If they are
treated as Cuba's worst enemies. what
shall they do?
Can we passively be boycotted /"
they say, 'and be absurdly taxed sim
ply because we are Sparliards. as is
being done in Manzanillo or be killed.
as is being done in the eastern prov
inces, and in Pinar Del Flo? The Span
iards are insulted daily in the news
papers by political agltators who call
FOR the disappearance of the last fea-
Their of red and yellow term of OPP
probrium applied to the Spanish flag.
We would be without dignity and the
instincts of self-preservation were we
to submit quietly to this persecution
Let the Cuban leaders, who are re-
sponsible for the future of the island
and who daily preach u union Of Cuban
and Spanish interests and the burial
of the past, reflect upon this: If their
actions do not correspond with their
words, Cuba will eventually be almost
deserted or we shall ask the United
States never to abandon it."

SERVING IN TWO PLACES.

sion' adjourned until tomorrow with
out reaching a vote.
Although the committee passed a res
oiutlon enjoining secrecy on members,
II is understood that the discussion
showed a disposition to extend the
WORD Office" SO as TO include not only
members holding army appointments,
uut also those serving on various COM
ILitCees. 1t Is said that no vote was

SdTu 10 those members of congress who

resolution was carried by an aye and

Young TO table the resolution. The only
time that the House has ever acted
upon such a case since that time was
the case OF Frank Blair, who from
z, 1852, to April 90, 1864, was
doing duty as a general
and performing duties as a member
of the House. On April 90, after ac-
lively doing his duties in the House
Tor some months, he left the House
oade his friends goodbye and took
command of an army corps in Georgia,
Fhls was regarded as abandoning his
seat in the House and on June II a
'esoiution was passed that he had for

ever was made to this by Mr.. Blair or
1ny of his friends"
Later in the day it was understood
On the floor of the House that the dis

done at once, provided the new COM
mission pronounces that plan feasible.
Although it has not been so stated,
the feasibility of either dropping Hill
brook in its present location or divert
ing its channel is the real question. On
such action depends the question of de-
pressing the tracks to such an extent
that the grade of no street would be
changed, not even Tor the better, as
the present report suggests. That plan
of depressed tracks was by very many
acknowledged to be the ideal plan. The
only objection which the present COM
missioners had to it was that they did
not consider it feasible. The impracti-
cability Of that project was the only
cause for opposition to it which mem
hers of the city council advanced. The
question of cost has been regarded bv
everybody as secondary, because I'M
less the cost is enormous, all agree that
price. e''S
The feeling is that such a possibility
OF recommending a change of route for
Mlllbrook exists that the work on the
separating system should be suspended
at least until the commission has come

to finance the securities for an amount
sufficient to adopt the new motive

board gave President Gould the power
to ascertain the best motor, electricity

determine on any motive power. The
tests with electricity were satisfactory

air Is much more easily handled. less
dangerous and cheaper. We will issue
enough stock to cover the expense OF
