Clever Identification by Ink.

New York, Jan. 23-Tests Of the inks
used in the writings introduced in evil
dence In the trial of Roland b. Moineux
were completed last night and written
report was made 10 Assistant District
Attorney Osborne, which may prove OF
vital importance.
Experts In charge OF the work were
DR.. Hagan Of Troy and Dr. Frazer Of
Rochester, chemists, who have already
appeared on the witness stand during
the trial. They have tabulated the
inks employed Of similar composition
showing that both pen and ink were
changed when the alterations were
made in the addresses Of the II. Cor
nish' letters (Heckmans letter box).
and that the different disputed writings
are In the same ink.
Foreman OF the jury, Matthias L. b.
Martin, suggested that some such test
should be made. Mr., Osborne imme-
diately acouiesced and requested DR..
Hagan 10 do the work and TO take the
original papers before the court. DR.,
Fraser was summoned and the expert
ments We're made in the laboratory Of
DR.. +. j. Lederle, chemist OF the board

made the suggestion, as IL establishes

M0MTACU WHITE ALL RIGHT
State Department Will Receive Him as Agent
Of The Tranyaal,
Cause OF Reversal OF Policy II Said 10
be the Recent Public Declaration
OF Pro.Boer Sentiment.

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Montagu White will be received as
the consular and diplomatic representa-
tive Of the South African Republic.
The state department has formally
determined upon such action and Mr.
White has been given an intimation OF
this intention. When he gets properly
executed credentials, which are ex-
pected within ten days, he will present
them to Secretary Hay, and enter upon
his official career. Pending the receipt
of these documents he will maintain a
diplomatic silence and make no repre-
sentatlon In behalf Of his government.
The precedent for receiving Mr.. White
Is found In the case Of the United
States consular and diplomatic agent at
Cairo, Egypt, the only analogous case.
Although Egypt is under Turkish
suzerainty and the United States has
a minister at Contantinople. a consular
and diplomatic agent is accredited TO
Egypt.
In his official capacity Mr.. White will
only have access to the secretary OF
state. Ambassadors alone have the
right to direct communication with the
President, as newly accredited minis
tiers are.
Mr.. White will have the privilege OF
submitting to the state department not
only commercial matters, but such d.
plomatic propositions as do not re-
quire the acquiescence OF Great Britain
under the suzerainty which she has
claimed for more than decade. He
cannot negotiate a treaty.
In receiving Mr.. White, the state de-
partment completely reverses its pol
icy General 0'Beirne, OF New York
who had proper credentials from Presl-
dent Kruger, was refused recognition
on the ground that he was an Amer-
can citizen. At the same time II was
made plain that bona fide citizens OF
the Transvaal, then temporarily In the
United States. would not be received
officially. II has been said at the state
department that no representative Of
the Transvaal would be recognized.
The sudden determination TO acknowl-
edge Mr.. White can only be accounted
for on the theoryAthat the admlnistra-
ton has become alarmed by the vigor-
Gus declaration OF public sentiment
throughout the country.
