MoLlNEux ARRESTED.
He Il Charged With the Murder Of Two
Persons nu New York.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Roland Burn
ham MolineuX, son of General Leslie
AIolineux of Brooklyn, was arrested to
night charged with numbering Mrs
Katherine j. Adams in this city on De
cember %, 1898.
He was locked up in the Tombs pris
on. The arrest followed the verdict OF
the coroner's jury accusing him of the
crime. While the inquest was into the
death of Mrs. Adams. it also went into
the circumstances of the death of Hen
ry g, Barnet of the Knickerbocker Ath
letic Club, who was poisoned by n
powder rerceived through the mail. as
was Mrs. Adams. The cases are so
closely connected that they can scarce
ly be considered separately.
The curtain rose on tic last act OF
the melodrama this afternoon. A shop
keeper who rented private letter boxes,
swore positively that MolneuX was his
patron, using the name of Fl. G. Bar
net" 1t was proved long ago that the
bottles of medicine had been sent tn
that letter box.
Then the handwriting experts were
called and one after another declared
that the hand that wrote the address
ON the poison package and forged the
names of Harry Cornish and II. c. Bar
ing powder medicines was the hand OF
Roland b. MolineuX. The experts were
absolutely certain in their Identification
of the penmanship. and would make nc
qualifications of their statements. Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner then summed
up the case, directly accusing Moli-
neuX.
The jury brought in verdict cliarg
ing MolineuX with the murder and he
was at once arrested and committed To-
the Tombs.
MolineuX is member of the New
York Athletic Club and was until h.s
quarrel with Harry Cornish. promi-
nent member of the Knickerboclier
Athletic Club. from which he resigned
because of that quarrel. Moiineuxs :
father is paint manufacturer and Is
reputed to be millionaire. The pris
oner has gone in good society, being of
excellent address and manners and
prospective heir to n great fortune. His
counsel is Barlow S. Weeks of the New
York Athletic Club and personal enc
my of Harry Cornish.

Cr,ppl. Creek. Diminished output.

The production of ore mt Cripple
Creek for the last month shows large
falling Off, but many drawbacks are
to be taken into consideration.
The blizzards which were universal
during the early part of the month left
the roads In such bad condition that
ore hauling. where possible. was badly
handicapped. In many cases, where
mines are situated on the sides or tops
of steep hills and ore hauling Is dan
gerous at the best of times production
for days had to cease entirely. In
many eases six and eight-horsc teams
were necessary TO get the heavy wag-
ons over the ground.
The snowdrlfts. which for days at a
time tied up the railroads, We're AN
other serious setback to production.
At one time one of the local samplers
was so blocked with ore that II II had
not been possible to get ears to the
sldetrack the sampler would have had
to suspend operations entirely. Several
of the big mines which have switches
from the Midland Terminal road to
their ore houses had to stop produc-
tion for days on account of the impos-
sibility of getting cars.
The total Tonnage for the month was
81 $50, valued at S1,257,000.

oERMANY.s NEW MOVE.
Orders Her Ships Away From Manila and
Asks America Ia Gusrd Her Interests.

Asks America tO Gusrd Her Interests.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-The
German government has set at rest, eff
fectually, the rumors of u purpose on
its part, directly or indirectly, to en-
barrass the United States in the Phil
ippine islands, and has given signal
manifestation of its desire to promote
the most cord al relations b tween Ger
many and the United States by order
ing the withdrawal of all vessels of its
navy from Philippine waters and plac-
ing the lives and property of its sub
jects there under the protection of the
United States government.
This action is regarded as master
stroke in diplomacy. by which will be
removed all possibility of n clash be
tween German and American interests
in and about Manila. and notice to all
the world, and especially to any Amer
leans who entertained any suspicious
of sinister designs by Germany, of the
wish and purpose Of the German EN-
pire to cultivate the friendship of the
United States.
1t was announced this afternoon that
the German government had ordered
its ships away from Manila. probably
to their new naval station ON the Chi
nese coast. The announcement was
coupled with the statement that the
German vessels were needed there.
This may be the cause. For the
story has come to Washington that the
Chinese have been abusing German
citizens almost in the shadow of the
Chinese capital-at Tien Tsin. The
Germans have come to believe that
the only way to meet such cases is by
punitive measures. and as Ticn Tsin is
at the head of navigation on the Peiho
river, just below Pekin. ii may be th :
purpose to send some warShips up the
river to convey an idea of the German
dspleasure.
The German government followed
its announcement to the State Depart
nent of II purpose to order its vessels
away from the Philippines with for.
NAL application to the United States
government TO undertake the protec-
tion of all the Germans in the Ehilip-
pines. not only in person, but in prop
erty.
This was regarded as n signal mau-
Hesitation of confidence that the ad-
ministration felt could not he resiste !
and as practically formal notice that
the Germans have no Interior purpose
i'll the Philippines and. rather than be

had taken the course of turning over
the care of the welfare of its citizens
TO the United States government.
The President promptly accepted the
trust and there will be no German
ships at either Manila or Iloilo to dis
turb the relations between the two
countries by forming the base Of SEN
sational and false rumors.
1t is possible that by assuming this
responsibility the United States gov
ernment has accepted liability for any
damages that may be sustained by tn ,
German residents and interests at
Manila. but it is possible that the ap-
plication must have been granted and
responsibility assumed anyhow. as it
is believed that Admiral Dewey and
General Otis had assured the German
commander at Manila of their abil-
ity to protect every interest in Manila.

Washington, ID. G., Feb. 27.-In view
of the apparent disparity between Ad-
miral Dewey's report of the sailing of
the Petrol from Manila for Cebu and
General Otis announcement of the sur
render of that city to the naval forces
which had taken "quiet possession"
further inquiry was. made by the Navy
Department and it was learned that
Admiral Dewey had been misquoted
and that what he had reported was
that the Petrol had received the sur
render of Cebu
1t Is the purpose of the admiral to
establish sovereignty of the United
States at the capital of the island.
which is populous town of 50 600
inhabitants. 1t is not believed that any
serious difficulty will attend this un-
dertaking as the insurrec,ion never has
obtained any strength in that quarter.
War department reports say the
island of Cebu is the most important
province of the Visayas group. its area
being 1000 square miles and its popu-
lation more than Il half million. Under
the Spanish regime the capital was
city of considerable commercial and
political Importance.

abound in n number of mines in this

GOVERNOR Pingree is in the right

GOVERNOR Pingree is in the right In
his effort to have appropriations held
down to the lowest possible figure, but 1t
seems as though he had become awake
to the real situation rather late in the
session. He has struck popular chord
in his recommendations concerning the
taxation of mining properties. 1t is
probably true that these properties pay
less state taxation in proportion to their
real value than any other properties IN
the state, and there is no reason why
their non resident owners should not oe
made to bear their fair share OF the pub
lie burden. While it is generally ac-
cepted fact that railroad and similar cor
porations shonld pay increased taxes, 1t
is doubly true that mining properties
should do the same. We are glad to
know that Governor Pingree has man
aged to spare sufficient time from
municipal ownership in Detroit to give
some attention to state affairs.
