MORE LOCOMOTIVES FOR 30
One Hundred May be Built by tht
Baldwin Company Shortly.

For some time past there have been
persistent rumors to the effect that the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
wonld increase its rolling stock by the
addition of 100 locomotives, and it is
probable that the order for these will be
placed in week or two.
1t seems to be a foregone conclusion
that the Baldwin plant will secure the
contract for part, if not the whole, Of
this number, as the heads of the motive
power department of the railroad are
partial to the product Of that company.
A passenger locomotive of the kind de-
sired is valued at $ll 900, and freight
engine at from $4,000 to $4,000. The
present order will mean the expendit
ure OF at least ST 300 ,000
It is stated that tie bulk of the en-
gines will be for the freight traffic Of the
Baltimore q Ohio between Baltimore
and the west The engines will be an
exaggerated form of the Wooten fire box
or turtle" type, used almost exclusive
" on the Reading Railway, but the de.
sign will be 40 per cent. heavier, and
with double tractive force.
This form OF locomotive was recently
adopted on the main line of the Balt
more 4 Ohio, and the engineers il
charge Of them agree that they are easie
to handle and do better work than an,
engine heretofore used by the company

books on the subject. He has testified in
number of poisoning cases. Among
the most prominent of these were the
Meyer and Buchanan.
The witness said he had received a bot
tie containing three drops of yellowish
liquid which on analysis proved to be a
solution OF choral hydrate amounting to
2h grains.
This was the bottle found near the
spot where the body of the murdered girl
was discovered.
The witness also said that he had re-
ceived on Oct. 26 from DIR. Mcbride a
small jar containing the stomach and kid
neys of the dead girl and another jar con-
tanning the other organs of the body.
He had analyzed the stomach and had
found in it five grains of choral hydrate.
This was similar to the liquid he had
found in the little bottle. He said that
the choral hydrate was free of embalm
ing fluid. Besides the poison, there was
very little else in the stomach.
Has choral hydrate any other manner
"Sometimes it is called knockout drops.

He had not found any choral or the con
stituents of choral in the embalmint

the cause Of the death of this girl. thu
witness was positive that she died o.
choral hydrate poisoning.
| Professor Witthaus was cross exam
ined by former Judge Hoffman. In an
swer to the latter's questions he said tina
the five grains found in the girls stomach
would not have caused death, but Their
were indications that there had been ;
much .larger quantity in the stomach--a
least ten times as much. He thought h
was safe in saying that the drug hal
caused death.
The witness said he did not think tina

by the same symptoms rs those of chic

produced by absinth. He said that b

THE HAWAIIAN CASE.
Argument by Solicitor General Rich.

Arg ument by solicitor General Rich
ards Before supreme Court.
| Washington, Jan. f5.-Solictor Gen
eral Richards made reply to Mr.. Smiths
argument in the Hawaiian insuar case
now in hearing before the United States
supreme court. In this ease. lie said. il
was obviously the intention OF congress-
as soon as practicable. to treat the terri
| tory as part of the United States for
legislative purposes, so that the revenue
and commercial laws which apply in the
United States should operate there.
But" he went on, before these laws
could he put in operation in the Hawaiian
Islands, it was necessary that n period Of
preparation should intervene after the
passage Of the resolution Of annexation.
On July {, 1898. when the annexation
resolution was passed, there We're no GUS
toms laws of the United States in opera
ton in Hawaii, and no customs officers
of the United States there. The customs
laws of the republic of Hawaii were in
force and they were the only laws Of
that character 1t is obvious therefore
that If the resolution of annexation i'm
mediately abrogatcd the customs laws Of
the islands the territory would have
been left without any customs law, open
| " tHt hnlIls VI tllp NbIlu, me customs
laws of the United States could not have
effective operation, because there We're no
agencies there to enfOre them.
IF, then, the resolution of annexation
threw open the ports of Hawaii 10 the
world, at the same time according 10 the
contention of opposing counsel. it threw
open the ports of the United States to
ships coming from Hawaii The effect

door through Hawaii into our ports. We
coud not inquire when goods came into
the | nted States from Hawaii whether
they had been brought into Hawaii us an
entrepot to the United States"
, Mr.. richards argued that this sorr of
thing could not be permitted, and he ex.
pressed the opinion that if congress had
believed that such Il consequence would
ensue the resolution of annexation would
not have passed when II did nor until ar.
: rangements could have been made to put
