THE MOLINEUX CASE.
Some Interesting Testimony Developed
 Yesterday.

New York, December S.-Several inter acting noints developed today in connection with the trial of Roland B. MoAneuA TOT the murder of Kate J. Adams.
 First. there was the capture Of an im- portant witness for the prosecution. HIS was Mammie Mulands the young woman who cared for Molineux's rooms at Newark' Through a ruse on the part or detectiVes she was induced to cross the state line from New Jersey to Sufferne, N. Y., where sine was arrested and brought to New 1ork city.
 If is said she will testify that Molineux was accustomed to use the now famous blue paper surmounted by the three inter- laced crescents. This same paper maoe it's appearance when George William Hall, Of Moodus, Conn.,, was called for the pur- pose of testifying concerning letter which fell into the possession of his employer, Professor Fowler. The witness said that James Burns, of Detroit, Mich., sold great many thousand letters to Professor Fowler who deals Tn medical remedies; that the signature, Roland B. MolneuX, was noticed and the New York authorizes notified of the find The defense admitted the identity of this letter as having been written by the defendant. It was written upon blue paper with the crescents.
 It seemed to be a day of victories for the prosecution, for the specimens of handwriting by Molineux before his arrest and at the time that Cornish was under suspicion were admitted after much argu- ment as the diagnosis blank Of patent concern with the blanks filled out in hand writing, said to be the same as that of other letters in evidence and signed ''H. c. Barnett" and in the face of strenuous objections Expert Kinsley was permitted to testify that in his opinion Molineux wrote. the address on the poisoned package sent fO Harry Cornish

MEXICO PLEASED
 WITH THE MESSAGE The Document is an Exception
 to the Rule. CUBAN STORY IS QUITE OLD That Mckinley Shows a Certain Re- spect for the Sovereignty of Mex
 ico and the Other Spanish
 American Republics
CUBAN STORY IS QUITE OLD

City of Mexico, December S-The cleri- cal organs have begun commenting on President Mc<inley's message, and Fl Tiempo, the chief organ of the conservative party, says:
 We are so accustomed to rudeness and unexpected breaks of American presidents that the latest message of Mckinley has struck us as being an exception to the rule, and may even be described as a circum- spect document.
 ''In general, so far as the Spanish-Amer- ican republics and Mexico are concerned, the matter in which we are most interested, it is easy to observe in the message a cer- tain endeavor not to arouse the suscepti- bilities of those countres-a certain respect for their sovereignty-which are the things to which North American statesmen had caused us to become accustomed. There Is evidence. too of certain desire to culti- vate friendly relations with those nations. Well and good. It is far better that 1t should be so than otherwise.
 With regard to Cuba, President McKin- ley takes care to throw sop to those who believe in the importance of the coveted isle, and in this connection he recalls that the fates bound to make the island
  shall be when the inhabitants of Cuba are capable of self-government. This is the old story. It is not necessary to say that the freedom of the Pearl of the Antilles is far off as the Greek Kalends. The essence of the Yankee policy consists in this clever juggling with a solemn promise made in the face of the entire world and which will never be fulfilled. We ought to be highly gratifed with the declarat tion made to the effect that the United States proposes re- taining the Philippines, inasmuch as every enterprise that tends to turn away the at- tention of the model republic to distant re- gons is a gain for Mexico, as in that way the rampacious eagle will have less chance of grabbing us up with it's talons."
 The liberal party leaders consider Presi- dent McI<inley's message as a sound and reasonable document, and believe that the American government intends to give Cuba home rule and ultimate independence, all though resident Cubans here are inclined to believe the island would prosper better under American rule.
 A grand ball in honor of President Diaz Is to be given by wealthy citizens of this city not connected with politics.

WALTHOUR LEAD.
The Southern Champion Will Capture
 Individual Prize.

New York, December S.-The leaders of the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden were 375 miles ahead of the record at o'clock tonight At that hour Miller and Waller had covered 2,21 miles,
 Walthour, the southern champion, had lead of several miles for the individual prize and early in the evening he managed to gain another lap by clever jockeying and fast riding.
 During the. early morning hours one of the most exciting sprints occurred. Waller for more than half mile took the bunch along at break-neck speed. Then Babcock took up the pacing and sped along in front for several laps, and when the others weakened, Chevalier, the Frenchman, went out to the front, and in a terrific spurt managed to gain the lap that the others had attempted to steal on him. Cheva- Hers performance put the Garden in an uproar.
 Tonight the Miller Waller and Maya McEachern combinations fought hard for the lap that separates them without chang ing their positions. During the afternoon several short races were uecIded In the first race of a mile heat between Jay Ea- ton and Henri Mayer, Mayer had fall, being severely injured.
 Walthour has issued a challenge for paced race for from ten to twenty-five miles in Madison Square Garden within three. weeks, for purse winner to take all This challenge is open to all. Harry Bikes preferred Manager Powers has virtually promised to offer a good purse for match between Walthour and Bikes.
 Forester and Schiner have had falling cut, and as a result 1t Is doubtful whether they will continue as team or not At present the team is split, and each is going for an individua prize.

School Board in Sessinn

The state board of public school exam iners met in the capitol today for the pur- pose of beginning the examination of pa- pers of applicants for positions to teach in the public schools. prepared at the Decem- Der examinations. The full board. including Superintende1t Abercrombie, J. L. Dodson and G. W. Brock, were present.
 The board will have plenty of work at this session, as the indications are that more than two thousand persons have ap- piled for license. At the first examina tion in June there were 2.364 applicants, 1,45O of whom were granted license. At the Sep tember examination there were about 5000 applicants, 2,O5O of whom were granted license.
 If this same ratio is kept up during the present examination there will be about 5,OOO licensed teachers In the state, which is near the requisite mark to fill all of the schools. Many of those who are applying now are already teaching, as the supern- tendent recommended to the township trustees that in cases where no teachers could be secured who were properly licensed that they employ such teachers as were willing to risk the chances of pass ing at the December examination.
