TESTED INKS.
Experiments In the Molineux Trial
Prove of Vital Importance.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Tests of the inks
used in the writings introduced in evil
dence in the trial of Roland r. Molineux
We're completed last. night, and a written
report was made to Assistant District At
torney Osborne, which may prove of vital
Importance.
Experts in charge of the work were DR..
Hagan of Troy, and DR.. Frazer of Roch-
ester, chemists, who have already appear
ed on the witness stand during the trial.
They have tabulated the inks employed
OF similar compositions, showing that
both pen and ink We're changed when the
alterations were made in the addresses
of the II. Cornish letters (FIeckman's
letter box) and that the different disputed
writings are in the same ink.
Foreman of the Jury, Matthias L. Mar
tin suggested that some such test should
be made. Mr.. Osborne Immediately ac
quiesced and requested DR.. Hagan to do
the work and to take the original papers
before the court. DR.. Frazer was sum
mOned and the experiments were made in
the laboratory of DR.. F. J. Lederle. chem
list of the board of health. The result is
greater than Mr.. Martin probably mag
ined when he made the suggestion as it

used in the tri-creScent letters bearing
three different signatures, but identified
by experts as being in the same hand

MUST CONE FROM ENGLAND.
DR.. Leyds Says She Must Make First
Peace Overtures.

New York, Jan. 23-The Brussels cor
respondent of the World obtained the
following statement from DR.. Leyds,
the Transvaal envoy extraordinary in
Europe, before he left for Paris yester-
day on his diplomatic mission:
In view of the new and critical phase
into which the war is now entering, 1
send to the people of America a few
words on the subject of any eventual
proposals in regard to the suspension
OF hostilities, a desire for which appears
to be gaining strength on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
Il am as confident as ever of the Ill
innate triumph Of our cause A tenn
porary success of the British arms
would merely have the effect of infus-
ing fresh vigOr into our men and
strengthening their determination to
hold out at whatever cost.
while the actual fighting strength of
both forces is now only about equal,
England might even double her army
now in South Africa without crushing
our powers of resistance.
But, however resolved to continue
the struggle, we have ever been de-
sirous to take advantage of any turn
in affairs which might leave the door
open to terms of honorable settlement.
And I am grateful to Mr.. Stead and
that considerable portion of the public,
both British and American, who are
agitating the discontinuance of the war
on terms satisfactory to both bellig-
erents.
although not a signatory to the
peace conference, the Transvaal has
ever been willing to profit by that por-
ton of The Hague convention which
invites friendly Intervention on the
part of a neutral power. Moreover, in
dieations have not been wanting since
the outbreak of hostilities that Presi-
dent Kruger would never bar the door
to a resumption of those negotiations
which were broken, if not through the
bad faith of the British government, at
least by an unfortunate misunderstand-
ing which friendly conference might at
that time have settled.
But it is not our place-especially
while England is hurrying fresh troops
to South Africa-tO make the first ad-
vance. Past events absolutely preclude
such a course, and 1 am equally conf
dent of the future.
yet this does not alter the fact that
President Kruger's attitude IS and will
remain one of Cancellation and that he
would be both ready and DESTROYS to
treat on any terms which assured the
South African republic that indepen-
dence so much insisted on in a British
statement during the earlier period Of
the negotiations"

OUR BUTTER ABROAD.
Shipments to Germany and France
Unsatisfactory, but Successful in
England

, Chicago, Jan. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Dairymen throughout the country
will undoubtedly be interested in the
efforts of the agricultural department.
to create a market for dairy products
in Europe and Asia Today Secretary
Wilson sent to the house the report of
the operations of the bureau of animal
industry, which deals with this subject.
The report says special agents have
visited Great Britain. France, Germany,
China, Japan, Hawaii and the Philip
pine Islands, and made arrangements
for experimental exports of butter in
those countries. Trial shipments to
Germany and France have demonstra-
ted the markets for choice dairy pro-
ducts from America were by no means
as good as in Great Britain, while the
difficulties in transportation and the
import duties imposed added to the dis
advantages experienced. Accordingly
the experimental exports made almost
every week during the year of 1898 and
until the summer of 1899 were confined
to England and mainly to the market
of Manchester. The desired informa-
ton having been obtained by these ex-
periments. extending through three
years, they were discontinued last May.
Then work was Immediately begun
on similar exports from San Francisco
to Pacific ports. No results from these
Experimental exports of selected
creamery butter to Manchester for
more than a year were highly satisfac-
tory. The result was a good reputation
well established for American butter in
that district, and the merchants urged
shipments of larger quantities. Except
ing an occasional variation from the
standard and a few instances of dete-
rioration incident to imperfections in
the facilities of transportation, this
butter was eminently satisfactory to
merchants and consumers. 1t replaced
Danish butter of the first quality, al
though the merchants demanded
slight concession in prices.
Refrigerating transportation cannot
be furnished by the steamship lines on
the Pacific, and this may not be desir-
able at present, as cold storage plants
are not to be found at most of the
Oriental markets. 1t will be necessary,
therefore, to send all butter. and per-
haps cheese, as well as canned and con-
densed milk and cream, in Theoretically
sealed packages capable OF preserving
their contents during long voyages in
hot climates. The art of canning butter
so that it will remain in good condi-
ton for months and when subjected to
great changes of temperature has not
yet been brought to perfection in this
country.

Chicago Jan. 23.-CIyde Wallace was
today held to the federal grand jury in
$4,000 bonds on the charge of stealing a
sack of gold from the United States sub
treasury in Chicago, in which he was a
clerk Government officers who told of
an alleged confession made by Wallace
declared that he had asserted that he re-
ceived over pay of over SIS, 900 when he
made requisition on the vault for S1O0.-
600 to be counted, and that while this
was evidently an error on the part of
the vault clerk, it had placed him in the
way of temptation and he had secreted
the extra sack When he had taken out
a few gold pieces from time to time and
could not replace them, it is said he put
the partly filled sack in his pockets and
races.

SEA AND SHORE
Three Foreign Steam
Ships Arrive.
CAPT. Archie GiIfIlan - Warimoo,
Australia and HongkOng
marU--Notes.

With three foreign steamers arriving
yesterday things on the waterfront
hummed all day. Bright and early in
The morning the Australia made her
appearance and a little later the Hong
kong Maru was telephoned and came
to an anchor outside at about 1880
a. m The WarrimOo, which caused
all the excitement night before last,
came into the harbor aud alongside the
Pacific Mail dock. The Australia has
her usual berth at Oceanic wharf,
which has been placed in strict quaran-
tine. 1t seems like old times to see
the steamer at the wharf discharging.
Her slow time down was on account OF
a heavy deckload and she was run at
half speed for two days during the
blow. She had but few passengers and
a very large cargo of general mer-
ehandise.
The Hongkong Maru which was ex-
pected to get away at l o'clock did not
sail until $500 She took about twenty
five passengers from here and on that
account was delayed. The United
States quarantine officials made a
thorough examination of her officers,
crew and Oriental passengers before
she was allowed to go. The examina-
ton took IN the neisnDOrhood or three
hours and, although Captain tIimei
did his best to hurry the work of Uncle
sam health agents, IL was no go until
they had finished with every person on
board. The departing passengers were
deprived OF their leis by Dr. Carmichael
before they boarded the scOw at hInau
wharf and there was much complain
ing especially among the ladies', who
thought the doctor was real mean"
not to let them take their flowers with
them. Archie Giifillan personally con-
Quoted the steam scow and is getting
quite expert in handling IT, The ladies,
some of whom did not know Archie,
called him captain and Of course he lost
no opportunity under the circumstances
of showing his seamanship in many
ways. When the passengers were all
put aboard the Maru the little scow
started for town and in response to the
steamers three whistles the scow
dipped her smokestack three times in
parting salute.
The WarTimOo discharged a lot of
freight for this port at the Mail wharf
and troupe of negro Ministries landed
who passed through here sometime ago.
The quarantine of the Warrimoo as
compared to that of the Australia was
very lax. She finished discharging and
left a few minutes after the Hongkong
Maru had started. The British ship
Glennesslin in tow of the tug Ecu left
the harbOr right behind the steamer
for Victoria and following the ship
were the island steamers on their way
to anchorage outside, the lot forming
quite a marine procession
