THE MOL!NEUX TRIAL.
Weeks Indirectly Accuses Harry
 (orutSb

New York, Jan. 3.--Mr. Weeks, coun- sel for Molincux, indirectly accused Har- ry Cornish of the poisoning of Mrs. Ad- ans yesterday.
 Cornish was subjected to a very se- were ordeal while testifying. His pri- vate life was revealed, and incidentally a new woman was brought into the case. She is Mrs. Small or Mrs. Morrison of Chicago, close friend of Cornish's. Cornish testified concerning the divorce obtained by his wife and swore that he was never known as Mr. Small. She died, and Cornish paid the funeral ex- penses.
 He testified that at first he believed Felix J. Gallagher was the author of the Harpster letter.
 After iaying Cornish relentlessly for over two hours Mir Weeks completed his cross examination, and the witness was allowed to step down.
 After several unimportant witnesses had corroborated Cornishs testimony as to the reception of the poison package at the club Felix J. Gallagher was called to the stand. Gallagher testified that there was no love between Molineux and Cor nish and that Molineux and Harpster were at swords points.
 Dr. Weston, coroner's physician, who performed the autopsy on Mrs. Adams, swore that she died of poison-hydro- cyanic poisoning.

The Roberts Case.

Washington. Jan. 3.-The report of the committee of the house of representatives which is Investigating the case of Rob- erts of Utah will be made soon after congress reassembles, and there is req son to believe the majority will recom- mend that Roberts be excluded from the house and that he be not permitted un- der his credentials to exercise any prima facie right of being sworn in. Whether the report will be unanimous is open to doubt, as three of the committee are not counted on as positively favorable to the course indicated, and this may result in the submission of a minority report. The minority view, if submitted, will proba- bly deal with the prima facie right to be sworn in on credentials which are reg ular and will recommend that Roberts be sworn in and thereafter expelled.

England withdrayvs From Samoa.

The British government has acted on the agreement and treaties for the par tition of the Samoan archipelago and has withdrawn the supervisory authority which it has exercised of late years in common with Germany and the United States. This probably accounts for the recent report from Samoa that the Ger man flag had been raised, as the with drawal of British influence leaves the Germans practically alone in authority, the United States having withdrawn it's sphere of influence to Tutuila.

week in April that the New York Cen
trail and the Pennsylvania We're close
partners in an important railroad trans
fer movement and that the division of
the hard and soft coal territory in this
state and West Virginia was the OBJ
