 SAP POLL 10
COTTON MONEY
 ID BE REFUNDED Southern Senators Express Hopes of Getting the Old
 Claims Adjusted.

Washington. January 1S.-Southern sena- tors express themselves as hopeful over the prospects of securing Legislation during the present session of congress looking to the refunding of money paid into the treasury of the United States soon after the civil war, as the result of the sale of the cotton captured by the federal forces.
 There was originally about $30, 0o0 of this money, but portion of it was paid to the owners of the cotton soon after the close of the war. The remainder was left in the treasury, and has remained there ever since.
 Senator Money, who is giving especial attention looking to the re-opening of the subject, says that the sum left amounts to about $1l ,000 GOO. A bill introduced by Sen ator Davis gives one year additional time for proof of such claims before the court of claims. It has been favoraby reported by the senate committee on claims, and Senator Money thinks the outlook very good for favorable action. Most of the claims are held in the southern states.

PROSECUTION OF
 MOLINEUX CLOSES The Defense Will Now Begin
 Its Case.
TESTIMONY ABOUT BARNET
Notwithstanding the Irrelevancy ofSome of the Evidence, the Prosecution Scored Several Important
 Points During Day

New York, January 1S.-Assstant District Attorney Osborne today announced tha. the prosecution would tomorrow close its case against Roland B. Molineux, charged wath the murder of Mrs Katherine J. Ad- ams
 me most important testimony today re- lated to the poisoning of H. c. Barnet and while MT. Osborne was always checked by the court when he asked his witness ques- tions that connected Molineux with the Barnet case, still the prosecution scored effectively
 James s. Hudson, salesman formerly associated with H. c. Barnet, testified tsbat late in the summer of 1898, shortly bstore barnet's death, Barnet received by matl package about one and one4half inches long and high, in a colored paper. Witness con- tinued:
 ''I saw MT. Barnet open the package. I saw him take out the contents. As I rec oflect it there was some cotton. A smaller box inside, and in 1t were some pink or red capsules"
 
 asked the recorder
 snail show" said Osborne, 'that Bar net received things anonymous through the mails, and this defendant bought such remedies as have just been described in the name Of H. c. Barnet"
 Edmund Barnet brother of H. c. Barnet destlhed that among his brothers effects was small box containing fifteen pink pliis and box containing salve
 pr Robert Bocock, homeopathic phy- sic.an testified that small doses of cyanide of mercury, often repeated, would produce all the. symptoms of diphtheria Barnet, it will be remembered, was treated for diph- theria.
 Others witnesses today were Vincent G. Hammill. president of private remedy agency, who treated by mail the bogus H. c. Barnet, which is alleged to be Moneux, for impotency, and who testified to his cor respondence with the so-caled Barnet and William O. English, a newspaper reporter, who identified a new Barnet letter to a western medical house asking for a prepa- ration. The handwriting is Identical with that of the other Barnet letters.

WHEELER AND LEE
 TO BE RETIRED The President is Very Anxious to
 Take This Action. WHEELER'S SEAT FORFEITED It is Said That His Attempt to Tax e His Seat Will Meet With Stren-
 uous Objections He May
 Try Reelection
WHEELER'S SEAT FORFEITED

Washington January 1S-Lt is said at tle significance that General Wheeler has beelt relieved from further military duty in the Philippines and ordered home. Although he made no complaint, it is understood shat active duty in the field Aas undermined General Wheeler's health, and that it was dangerous for him to remaan in the tropical climate of the Philippines much longer.
 While 1t is not officially admitted that General Wheeler has resigned his commits sion, it is stated positively that If he has taken such a step the president will sus- pend action until he has had an opportu- nity to confer with him on the subject, with view of dlssuading him from such a course. He is nearly 64 years old, tho statutory limit of active service in the army, and fout for that fact would have been appointed brigadier- general in the regular army.
 The president is said to favor legislation which will authorize the appointment of General Wheeler, General Lee and perhaps one or two other brigadier generals on the retired list in acknowledgement of their faithful services to the country during ac- tive service in the Spanish war. It Is said that this is one of the reasons why General Wheeler $ summoned home at this time. His orders which were issued several days ago, require him to come to Washington by way of San Francisco for consultation with the secretary of war

Everything Working Satisfactorily in

He says he found the tobacco in good shape, although sugar was not so far advanced as it should be, owing to the expensive machinery necessary The tobacco growers have all the plants they need and they require little attention while growing.

MEMBERS WOULD OBJECT
Decided Opposition to the Little Gen
 eral Has Developed

New York, January 1s.-A special 10 the Times from Washington says:
 "If General Joseph Wheeler expects to return to Washington to take a seat in congress without further formal.ty, it looks as if Ge would meet with dsap- pointment. Inquiry has been made since the announcement that he had been re- Heved from further duty in the Philippines, and it Is found that 1t is the general agreement on both sides of the house that it has been clearly shown by the exam.na- ton of the case of Low and other prece- dents that he has forfeited his right to a seat in congress, and that the only thing open to him Is to go bac ito his district and seek reelection if he desires to continue service in congress.
 No doubt Is entertained that, if he seeks reelection at a special election to fill the vancancy he will be returned to congress, perhaps without opposition, but it will be held by the house, according to the best authorities in both parties, that the seat Is now vacant and will remain until a spec isl election has been held.
 Some of his friends in the house hope that he may be induced not to make claim to the seat, but to go at once before his people for reelection They think he will win greater distinction by this course, anc if reelected he would be entitled to pay for the entire term from March 4, last, as any one elected to the vacancy would be-"
