CYANIDE ~ LEYH'S BEER.
No Trace OF BrOmo Seltzer which West.
phai Said He Gave TO Employer.

DR.. Kent, the chemist Of the Health De-
partment in Brooklyn, yesterday sub
mitted to Coroner Williams an additional
report of the analysis he made Of the bottles
Of beer which figured in the poisoning
Of George +. Leyh. the Williamsburg
truss maker who died at his home. No
70 Broadway, on the afternoon Of Dec.
2. The report disproves the statement
made by Robert Westphal that he put bromo
settler into the beer. No bromo seltzer
was found in the bottles. The white powder
which Detective Cart land found is not
poison. The bottle from which Mr. Leigh
took the beer contained cyanide Of po-
tassium.
The stomach Of the dead man will be
analysed In time to permit the inquest TO
be held next Tuesday night.
Another will made by Mr.. Leyh was found
in vault Of the First National Bank Of
Williamsburg yesterday. II was made in
1890. Two daughters OF the dead man,
Isabella Leyh and Mrs Mcleod and the
latter's husband. DR.. Mcleod, called at the
bank yesterday morning and took pos

NEGROES GO TO PHILIPPINES.
That Is senator Morgan's Plan-Home.
stead Of Twenty Acres for Each.

WAsHINGToN Dec. Ex-senator Morgan
Of Alabama has plan for colonizing in
the Philippines the negroes OF the United
States. He has urged his sch eme upon
the President. Secretary Root and Gov.
Taft, and he believes that it will result
eventually in millions OF negroes emf
grating To the Philippine Islands. His plan
involves the Incorporation of a steamship
transportation company and the distribu-
ton of homesteads of about twenty acres
each Speaking Of the project Senator
Morgan sav-:
THE principal reason for nv attitude
in the Senate toward retaining the Philip
pine Islands was my belief that those islands
would afford a horne for the negroes When
| first came to Congress introduced a
resulut ion TO recognize the Congo Free
State a. All independent nation. merely
to afford the negroes Of this country place
to which they might cinigrate when their
numbers increased To an extent that would
make emigrat ion necessary The resoltI-
ton passed the Senate and House and the
colonization of the negro " the Congo was
we'll under way when . United States
acquired the Philippines.
The acquisition of that territory opens
up new and vastly superior country
for them. The land is richer. the climate
better suited to them, and there they would
still be under the flag took the matter
up with Secretary Root, and wrote to Gov
ernor General Taft for information and
ideas on the plan Of colonizing negroes
there. Both were favorahly impressed
and all the movement needs is a starter"
Senator Tillman of South Carolina does
not take any stock in Senator Morgan s
plan. Mr.. Tillman said to-day:
IT seems We can never get beyond the
penetrating stink Of this Lily White and
Black and Tan business.
Now. say that the negroes are taken
TO the Philippines. There will he the cost
of transportation to the Pacific Ocean, Of
the ocean voyage. Of the preparation OF
some temporary hahitation until they are
able TO provide for themselves and feedin g
them until they raise. harvest and market
their first crop.
IF this is all the Govern ment intends
10 do for them, why. the item Of expense
would be something enormous. II would
be necessary TO tax the people to the point
of oppression. No, sir; all such plans are
