poison which Is alleged to have caused
the death Of Mrs. Adams. He had made

mercury, boiled them together, filtered the
mass and the precipitate contained cya-
hide OF mercury.
Still other drugs would yield cyanide OF
mercury. All OF the drugs required were
what Is known as dry colors. Moiineux,
1t will be remembered, was superintendent
Of dry color factory in Newark. Yocum

BRIDGING THE HoQUIAM.


EuOfto NOW 0etn8 Mnoe TO CAom80
the Plans and Erect . Steel
Bridge Instead Of wooden One.
Special Dispatch to the Post Intelligencer.
ABERDEEN, Jan. 3.-The building of
the proposed bridge across the river at
Hoquiam Is not without its entangle-
merits. 1t would seem that since the
contract was let and local contractors
OF this place secured the same, outside
parties who bid on the original contract
are endeavoring now to get Hoquiam to
build a steel bridge instead Of a wooden
one, knowing full well that II they get
this proposition through they will not
have much opposition on new bids, as 1t
would be impossible for local bidders to
furnish the material.
The city Of Hoquiam also has about
decided to make the bridge two feet
wider than the original plan, and have
had the architects figure ON what the
additional cost would be. The architects
claim 1t would cost an additional Is per
cent, while the men who have the con-
tract-Mason & Douglas Bros.--claim It
can be done for an additional Is per cent.
The bridge Is an absolute necessity and
will be built some time this summer. But
just what plans will be definitely decided
on are at present merely q. conjecture.
Hoquiam voted $4,000 bonds for the
building of the bridge last week, and II
is this probably that has made the out
side bidders a little more active In trying
to get the city to substitute a steel bridge
instead OF as originally planned.

THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Country Upon Its shrewdness
In the Matter.

LONDON, jan 4.-The Times in an edi-
torial this morning dealing with the action
of the United States government with re-
gard to the "open door, In China says:
.'In this matter America has shown her
customary shrewdness. Nowhere Will the
result be hailed with greater satisfaction
than in Great Britain. Nowhere will the
particulars Of the arrangements made be
awaited with deeper interest than here.
our cousins are wideawake race. They
perceived that the trade privileges they en-
joyed In Manchuria and the orders given
BY Russia for railway material and the
like, were, for obvious reasons, OF a tenn
porary nature. They recognized that the
powers averse to the open door encourage
ed American trade only because they could
not themselves supply the commodities
needed.
.sThe position Of the United States was
peculiarly precarious, and she sagaciousiy
resolved to render it secure or as secure as
q assurances could make 1t. America is the
last power in the world to have gone to the
trouble OF getting paper assurances and
ances only. II she has obtained them, she
viii see that they are observed and in this
she will get the unfailing support Of the
country which initated the open DOOR
