RUSSIA TAKING ADVANTAGE.
Her Course in the East Seems Hos
tile to Great Britain.

Vancouver B. G., Jan. 1.-THE digest of
opinions of the principal ChineseJapanese
PAPERS, as received to-day by the steam
er Empress of Japan, thirty days from
Yokohama indicate that Russia is unmis-
takably revealing her intentions in the
far East.
The China Gazette says that, taking ad-
vantage of England's pressing engage
ments in South Africa. the Russian gov
ernment, through its consul at Hankow,
has revived its claim to the JardineM Math-
eson land. making a demand for the prop
ertv In the most peremptory fashion.
The Russian consul claims that the
question of the disputed ownership OF the
Land has been absolutely decided in favor
Of his government, and he has announced
his intention to take forcible possession
Of the property without further negotia-
lions. His actions are said to have been
extremely high handed.
The relations between the British and
Russian residents are strained to the
breaking point.

POISON THAT DID THE WORK.
Nltthaus Tell of Analyses of Bottles
md StOmachs.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE principal wit
ness to-day in che trial of Roland B.
Molneux for the. murder of Katherine j.
Adams. was Prof. Rudolph r. Wtthaus
the well known chemist, who made an
analysis of Mrs. Adams stomach, Of vari-
Gus portions OF Henry c. Barnets ex-
humed body, and of the box containing an
effervescent salt. which, it is said, Barnet
took before his death.
Dr. Witthaus said that he found mer-
curic cyanide in the contents of the Bar
net box and the common constituents of
Kutnow powder. He found a small guam
tlty of cyanide of mercury in Banets
liver In the kidneys he found mercury
and in the brain mercury.
The witness then took up the Adams
case In the deadly bromo-seitzer bottle,
Prof. Witthaus said all the constituents
of the powder found by him were the reg
ular cons dtuents of bromo-seltzer except
mercury and cyanogen.
The analysis was made of powder taken
respectively from the upper and lower
parts of the bottle. The former developed
the presence of 3345 per cent. cyanide OF
mercury. and the latter A. per cent
Mrs Florence f. Rogers, daughter of
Mrs Adams, and who was present at the
time of her mothers death, described ths
poisoning. Mrs. Rogers was very self
possessed and showed no emotion. Her
story agreed with that told by Harry Cor
nish and a long cross-eXamina tion did not
shake her testimony.
Prof Witthaus will go on the stand
again tomorrow 20 testify as to his anal
ysis of the contents of the glass from
which Mrs. Adams drank the fatal
draught, and as to his analysis of Mrs.
Adams stomach.

SURVIvoHs or uHDANETA.
Filipinos Are Said To Have Killed An
Rut Two of Them

Vancouver. y. c., Jan. 11.-Advices from
Manila say that benjamin J. Cree. coXs-
swain, and George NJ. Powers. first-class
apprentice. aR che sole survivors as far
as known of the luckless American gun
boat Urdaneta.
While the Urdaneta was taking sound
ings near Orangi she got aground. The
natives notified the insurgent troops at
Oraugi, and a strong force marched down
quickly through the underground on both
banks ana opened fire on all sides of the
little vessel, wounding most of the crew
at the first volley.
Lieut. Wood. who was In command, was
wounded in three places during the first
few minutes. The gig was lowered to dash
down stream, but the boat was immedi-
ately riddIed BY this time seven of the
crew were killed or disabled only Green,
Powers and three others remained active.
The insurgents. growing bodor waded into
the shallow water and overpowered them
by sheer force of numbers.
A few days later, when the oregon was
seen approaching, the men made a dash
for liberty, but they We're recapturcd and
sentenced to death for the attempt. The
execution was TO take place at daylight,
but during the night they again escaped.
Cree and Powers climbed into a tree, hid
In the dense foliage at the top, while the
Filipnos searched the woods around them.
The other three Americans were probably
recaptured and killed.
All that night they could hear the Fiji
pinos searching for them, but next morn
ing they went away After travelling two
days without food, they reached the coast
and were taken on board the oregon.

WHAT ADMIRAL DEWEY SAID.
His Report From Hong Kong Upon
the Defenses of Manila.

Washington. Jan. 11.-Responding to the
Senate's resolution of inquiry the Secre-
tary of the Navy to-day sent to the Sen
ate a copy of Admiral DAwey's report
from Hong Kong, dated March 81, 1893
relative to the capture of Manila, then
under considera ton.
He stated that his own squadron was
in a high state of efficiency. Speaking of
the Spanish forces he said it numbered
about 1900 soldiers of all arms in all
the islands, of which half were in the
vicinity of Manila.
THE islands," says the report, "are

Planned by Methuen, He argued strong
~ and eXpostuiated bitterly against it.
Methuen, however, persisted, and the two
quarreled over the matter the night before
the battle which proved so disastrous to
the British forces. A member of the
Black Watch, in a letter just received.
gives the details of the charge which led
Wauchope to his death. He quotes the
Generals dying wOrds-words showing
how fully he realized the situation, even
in the hour of his death. The letter reads:
1T was one of the darkest nights we
ever say The rain fell in torrents, and
we went on and forward, falling, STUN

1T was impossible to see where We

Letters from men serving in the Modder

the troops since the commanders inca

There Is not the slightest doubt that
Methuen has lost the confidence of every
man in the Highland Brigade l am not

afraid to trust their lives with him."
"Wuchope no doubt, went out to find
death" writes Sergt. Grey, when such
disastrous fire opened. He had previously

TAYLOR ENTERS A PROTEST.
AGAINST DEMOCRATS ON CONTEST
ING COMMITTEE.

charges Fraud in Selecting Its Menu
bers-hepubIican Leaders Look for
Aid From Washington in the
Event GoebeI Is Seated-Strong
Pressure Being Brought to Bear.
Bryan Is keeping Hands OF in the
kentucky Fight.
Frankfort Ky, Jan. 11.-Gov. Taylor to-
day filed with the Election Contest Com
mittee a motion to require the Democratic
members now serving on the committee to
vacace.
The motion was in the nature of for
NAL protest 1t is supported by an affi-
davit charging that the names We're fraud
ulently drawn by the clerk and the DEM
ocratic members now serving are all dis
qualified by reason of partiality for the
contestant, alleged evidence of which is
mentioned specifically as to each.
1t refers to the rules of the COMMITTEES
which he says were so framed as to eX-
clude the greater part of his testimony,
and charges in general terms that the trial
of the contest is about TO be made through
out on partisan lines and without regard
to the merits of the case.
Washington End of 1t.
The Republican leaders, while not aban-
douing the fight against Goebel in the Leg
islature, are eagerly awaiting news from
Washington as TO what aid the federal
government would give the Taylor admin
istration in the event Goebel is seated by
the Legislature.
That the Republican leaders are advising
Gov. Taylor to resist in case ahe Legis-
lature decides in favor of Goebel and are
promising support to him, is generally ad-
mitted.
There was a conference tonight of Re
publican leaders from over the state,
among whom were several prominent fed
eral officeholders, and it is said stronger
pressure is to be brought to bear at
Washington in favor of Taylor than has
been heretofore. The sentiment of all
those attending the conference was de
cidedly bellicose, and the feeling is some
what heightened by the fact that at least
three of the legislative contests are SO
near to completion tonight as to assure
a vote on them next week, and that
majority of them are nearly certain to be
disposed of before the contests for Gov
ernor and lieutenant governor are vot-
ed on.
Bryan Keeping Hands Off.
The silver Democrats who are
opposing Goebel claim to have
direct Information that Col. Bry-
an does not approve of the con-
tests which are prosecuted by Goebel and
other Democratic candidates. They went
so far to-day as to say that Bryan had
written letter to Blackburn discouraging
the contests.
National Committeeman Urey Wood
son, who was in conference with Mr.
Bryan In Chicago last Sunday, gave en-
phatlc and positive denial of these claims
tonight. He said
,:sS,.s.Nsad the Kentucky political stu
alton with Mr. Bryan thoroughly, ts53 I
know there is no foundation for these
stories.
1t is said Mr. Bryan feels that the Dem
ocratic leaders are capable of settling
their own affairs and that he will have
no advice to offer them on the subject Of
the contests when he comes here 10 attend
the banquet which will follow Blackburns 5
