MOlineux Sentenced.

New York, Feb. 16-At 10 o'clock
this morning Roland B. Molineux was
marched from the Tombs to the Crimi-
nal Court building for sentence. When
the preliminsries had been arranged
Col. Gardiner, District Attorney, moved
that sentence be passed upon the pris-
oner. After the clerk had asked Moli
neux if he had legal cause to offer why
ne should not now be sentenced, Attor'
ney Weeks moved for new trial OF the
case. Judge Golf overruled the motion
and sentenced Molineux to be executed
the week beginning March 26.
Before being sentenced MOlineux was
allowed to make a statement. He said !:
II never possessed the instrument used
in the commission of this crime. |
never for one instant hsrbored MUIR
derous design against any man. AS for
the theories OF the prosecution, they are
built up on hired and perjured testi-
mOny. | want to say again, and before
this my Judge, that never did hands of
mine put pen to paper to address either
the poison package or the disputed lei
ters signed Barnett and Cornish. As
for the conduct aud statements of the
Assistant ID trict Attorney, in go far as
they related to the innocent, lovely
woman who bears my name, l denounce
them as cowardly lies, as disgraceful,
mean and utterly inexcusable. The
man who dragged that woman's name
into this court l denounce here ss
BLACKBOARD and a coward"
An appeal will be taken, which will
act as o stay of execution, so that Moli-
nesux will not be electrocuted on March
26. II a new trial is granted there may
be another year of delay.
Mollneux was then taken to Sing

Washington, Feb. 16.
sENATR.


After routine business was disposed
of Mr.. McEaery spokelon the Philip
pine question. He favored the Bacon
resolution declaring that eventually q
form of government should be estab.
lished, under which the Filipinos shall
have the same rights guaranteed the
CubaDs bv the United States Congress.
He thought our own country had
enough semi barbarians that ought to
be looked after. We should not reach
out and take 10 many millions more of
undesirable people. He said he was
opposed to the permanent retention of
the islands, but admitted that this gov
eminent would have TO supervise mat
tiers until the Filipinos are capable OF
setting up government of their own.
Mr.. McEnery was followed by Mr..
Stewart. The Hawaiian bill was call
ed up by Mr.. Cullom and was read.

was greeted with prolonged applause
from the republicans.
The House non concurred in the Sen

The House then went into committee

600 for the support of the civil service
commission was reached Mr.. Pesrre
said that if q motion to strike out this
sum would result 10 abclishing the
commission he would make it, but he
was convinced that the money would
be supplied from other sources and that
the commission would still continue in
Office. He declined, however, that he
was fundamentally opposed to the civil
service law. Thousands of incompetent
clerks have been retained 10 the gov
eminent employ by the operations OF

Kimberley Relieved.

London, Feb. 16.-London was cleo
tritied this morning by the posting OF
the following dispatch at the war Of
fee: "French with horse artillery,
cavalry and mounted infantry reached
Kimberley this evening (Thursday)."
From the fact that there 10 no mention
of any battle, and that Roberts himself
telegraphed from Jacobsdal, il is sup
posed the Beers retired into the Orange
Free State without Offering battle. The
news OF the relief of Kimberley come
like ray of sunshine out of dark
cloud. Lord Roberts, whose first move
has been such brilliant success, is be-
ing praised to the skies, while Kitchener
and French are not forgotten. The
movement began on Monday when
French swooped down on Dekiel's drift
and crossed the Riet river. Tuesday
he moved his forces Is miles 10 little
over six hours, capturing five Boer
laagers at Kip drift on the Modder
river. The march was accomplished
during fierce sand storm and while
the heat was terrific. The enemy,
amazed at French rapidly, fled leaving
five lasgers. 1000 sheep and many cat.
tie in the hands of the British. 1t is
figured that after brief rest be push
ed right on for Kimberley, reaching
there in les then AZ hours after his
capture of Kip drift. It looks as though
the Beers, learning of Roberts's turn
ing movement, had decided to abandon
both Magersfontein and Kimberley 10
order to take up position better suit
ed to attack the main lines Of the Brit
ish advance into the Free State.
The seige of Kimberley began on o.

cipal buildings Of the exposition and

Mr.. Kruger then visited the Trans

lried to the Duke of Manchester a week
or so ago in England, was interviewed
here today. He said to a reporter:
Il have come here to meet my daugh-
ter and her husband. After they have
rested here a few days we will go TO
Cincinnati and a reception will be given
at my home. The duke is a bright
chap. He's a fine, manly fellow. I like
a man who went to work as he did as
a newspaper man when he was here.
Some of his articles were first rate, toe.
AT no time was 1 opposed to his mar
riage to my daughter. Those stories
are all m~oonShine."
rs it true hat the duke is in a bad
way financially?" asked the reporter.
Il guess there won't be any difficulty
about his debts. Not at all. That does
not make any difference. I don't care
to speak about the marriage portion.
THAT is a private matter, but there
won't be any trouble about debts.
They will be-well, that's all right; all
right"
us it likely that the duke may settle
down in America, and enter the rail-
road ~business?"
