MOLINEAUx INDICTED.
4 SECOND GRAND JURY PRO
NOUNCES HIM y MURDERER.

~
New York, July Gothic grand jury
found an indictment for murder in the
first degree against Roland b. Mol-
neauX this afternoon. The jury finished
it's consideration of the case in thirty
minutes after n preliminary considera-
ton and disposed of IL in a way that is
unusual and peculiar. Up To this morn
ing there had been no case OF Roland
Is. Molineaux considered All witnesses
were summoned in the name of John
Doe. who was charged with having
caused the death of Mrs. Kate ].
Adams. Justice Williams, in his opin-
ion dismiSsing the indictment against
MolineauX. based the Quashing of the
indictment on incompetent and illegal
evidence brought before the grand jury.
The aim. il appears. of the District At
torney was 10 avoid this fault in an
other indictment. So all the witnesses
were summoned in the name of Doe.
During the week these witnesses were
infinitely examined as to the case both
expert and others, They all gave it as
their opinion that Roland Il. Molineaux
was connected with the case and by
some that he was the guilty party
To-day the evidence was presented
formally against Mollneaux and his in
diciment followed.
IT was said ar the office of the Dis
trict Attorney to-day that conspiracy
proceedings will be begun against Wal
ter s. Swayne. OF New Haven Conn.
who said a few days ago that he had
sold Il poisonous connection to Harry
Cornish in 1897.

WILL MAKE NO STATEMENT.


WILL MAKE NO STATEMENT.
Secretary Alger maintained the same
reticence to-day that he adopted yes
terday after the resignation had beer
presented. He would make no state
ment. and every inquiry was met with
the declaration that this same silence
would be preserved so long as he was a
member of the cabinet.
AN ABSORBING TOPIC.
The most absorbing and generally
discussed topic here to-day was the
choice of n successor to Secretary Alger.
Many names were mentioned in the
speculation, but it can be stated with
authority that as yet the President has
made no selection. Both Secretary Long
and Postmaster General Smith. who
were with the President for a short
time expressed the belief that no men,
Der OF the Cabinet would care to be
shifted tn the War Department. Among
the names most prominently mentioned
was that of General Horace Porter, am
bassador to France.
PROMOTION URGED.
Senator Thurston of Nebraska called
at the White House during the day and
urged the promotion of Assistant Sec
rotary Meikeljohn. Nearly every gene
raj who figured in the recent war has
been mentioned as IL possibility. that
OF General James H. Wilson being
about the most prominent in that class.
A NEW YORK LAWYER
\ strong belief expressed in certain
circles is THAI the successor OF Mr.. AL
ger will come from New York. In this
connection the name Of Mr.. Elihu Root
has been suggested a high administra-
ton official said to-day that the next
Secretary of War will not only be n
New Yorker, but n lawyer as we'll. The
authority for this statement was in con-
sultation with the President to-day and
he stated that while il may he said that
as yet the selection has not been finally
pessed upon New York. now without
representation. has the strongest claim
for recognition. The belief gained
ground this afternoon that Mr.. Root
Will be rendered the portfolio.

Chicago. July 20-No friction devel-
oped at the meeting of the Democratic
National Committee to-day and the
men who made such belligerent asser-
tions last night failed to make them

that "l6 10 /" shall be the rallying cry
in the next campaign or by those who
oppose its adoption.

milton OF the silver men by the National

when the Ohio Valley Bmetallic
League was admitted to the committee
room and James r. Tarvin. of Ken
lucky. acting as spokesman. read the
resolutions adopted by the committee
at their meeting early in the day a; the

planks be inserted in the mex; DemoA

evident that the people of Richmond
would like very much to have chance
to indicate their choice of the two cam
didates for the u. S. Senatorship. De-
spite the fact that the City Democratic
Committee refused to adopt a plan
which permitted this, an effort is still
being made to bring about this result.
Indeed strong pressure is being brought
to bear to induce the committee to re-T
consider their action. Two members Of
the committee are to-day circulating a.
petition with this end in view. 1t is
said that several members who voted
against the proposition now see the
error of their way and would support

was taken. states that he favors giving
the Democrats a chance to express their,
choice of the candidates and would have
voted for the Hall resolution had he
been present. II is said that Ii will re-
quire n two thirds vote to undo what
has been done.
