The ar latest ret jrns obtainable indicate that di the republicans will have a small majority in the next Congress, though Cq the democratic gains have been heavy, j pc New York seems to have gone republi- J in can by a small majority.

Mr. Coler's statement was m followed by a rather sensational an- Pi nouncement from Secretary Mason, of ^ the State Democratic committee, that I he refused to concede Odell's election; , ^ that fraud had robbed Coler of many j cl votes up the State and that Senator ti< Hill and Chairman Campbell, of the ; W: State committee, would come to New York this evening to decide on a plan i vr of action. About the time these state- js meats appeared a rumor was circu- ; h Jsted that Coler intended to make a in contest in the courts, and simultane- , bf ously the Evening Journal issued an i * extra ed.tion. declaring that former pr Seaator Hill. Chailcs F. Murphy and j m Hugo McLaughlin claimed Coler's elec- h tion. This report, together with the ja statements made by Mr. Coler and Sec- j \ retary Mason, have caused consider- : tr . < able excitement in the city. Mr. Coler's statement follows: rMI think personally it would be a Vc good thing to watch the official count c< up the State closely. Suppose the Dem- ; Vlocratic ticket had received say in the : ? \ neighborhood of 150.000 majority in i Gi Greater New York, there was nothing r to have stopped the Republicans from i tb claiming; the upper section of the State I to by 200,000. What the Democratic party ' cc needs up the State is tried and true w material who will look carefully after I h the party's interests. I don't mean by i jn anything I have said either last night i m or this morning that I in any manner ar conceded the election of my opponent. m I want to wait for the official count, for my latest advices are that the vote is very close.

In an interview, Governor Wright had the following to say of conditions in tlr Philippines and their future: "The developments following the inauguration of Jhe civil government of the islands have been most satisfactory. They have now civil government aimcst everywhere, and tLe people seem to be learning its advantages. The system of provincial and municipal government has worked well. During the past year there has nut been a sin-rlo defalcation and verv few thefls. The government is strictly one of civil service. There is a degree of peace and safety in the Philippines now that was never reached under the Spanish rule. The Spaniards used to pay the brigands to keep the peace, but we have refused to continue this system. After the passage of the Philippine bill, iast year, we established the insular constabulary and we have now 0.0U0 of these police. We find they are the best men for the business and they have closed the provinces of lawbreakers with great activity. The service is one .vh'cS appeals #to the natives. for the police are chosen from the tribes which they must serve. The future of the islands will be a great one. What are n-v.Wl most are railroads and those may bo built soon by American capital. There is a trunk line en the island of Luzon noW under consideration and its building will help matters greatly." Governor Wright also stated that he considered the return of the friars v-as the best thing for the islands and he expected that the Pope- would send a representative to appraise the Church property in the Philippines.

James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, upon the proposed Appalachian Forest Reserve, is reproduced as a special feature of this issue of the Manufacturers' Record, together with a number of striking illustrations accompanying the report and republishing through the courtesy nf fho A p-ripiiltiirn! npnartmpnf. The practical advantages of the establishment of the reserve are set forth clearly in it ,and are summarized at its conclusion. President Roosevelt, in transmitteng the report, said that with those conclusions he fully agreed, and in addition wrote: The report of the Secretary presents the final results of an investigation authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judgment of the Secretary and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain parts of the Southern States. The facts ascertained and here presented deserve the careful consideration of the Congress;- they have already received the full attention of the scientist and the lumberman. They set forth an economic need of prime importance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that ot the nation as a whole, and they point to the necessity of protecting through wise use a mountain region whose influence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. Among the elevations of the eastern half of the United States the Southern Appalachians are of paramount interest for geographic, hydrographic and forest reasons, and as a consequence, for economic reasons as well. These great mountains are old in the history of the continent which has grown up about them. The hardwood forests were born on their slopes and have spread thence over the eastern half of the continent. More than once in the remote geologic past they have disappeared before the sea on the east, south and west, and before the ice on the north; but here in this Southern Ap; palachian region they have lived on to the present day. Under the varying conditions of soil, elevation and climate many of the Appalachian tree species have developed. Hence it is that in this region oc lui uittt uia: vciuujj vaiicij auu m.uness of plant growth which have led our ablest business men and scientists to ask for its preservation by the government for the advancement of science, and for the instruction and pleasure of the people of our own and of future generations. And It is the concentration here of so many valuable species with such favorable conditions of growth which-has led forest experts and lumbermen alike to assert that of all the continent this region is best suited to the purposes and plans of a national forest reserve in the hardwood region. At the meeting last Saturday at Asheville, N. C., of the Appalachian National Park Convention it was resolved. That this convention heartily approves the action of Congress in establishing the great national forest reserves in the Western States and Territories and the more recent action of Congress in providing for the construction of a great system of irrigation works in those States. Inasmuch as the n.rests ana tne sous v/nicn tnese forests protect in the Southern Appalachian mountain region serve as a natural reservoir for the storage for the water which falls in excessive rains in this region, this convention asks the co-opcration of senators and representatives in Congress from the Western States in securing the passage of the Appalachian Forest Reserve bill now before Congress as an extension to these Southeastern States of the great policy of natural water storage by the government, which has already wisely been inaugurated in the West. In consideration of the fact of the rapid and steadily-increasing rate at which the forests on the slopes of the Snilthprn A nnnlorMan miwntalno ?-.1 being destroyed, the growing frequency of the floods carrying away the fertile soils from this region and depositing me same m navigaoie streams, having recently caused over $18,000,000 of damage, this convention urges upon Congress the prompt passage of the bill now before the House of Reprerentatives providing for the establishment o! the Appalachian National Forest Reserve as the only possible means of overcoming the existing and increasing evils. Dr. C. P. Ambler, the secretary of the association, gave an interesting sketch of it3 purposes and explained the status of bills in Congress Rooking vu wis estuuiisiiiuem ui a lurest rejorvo in the Southern Appalachian mountains. One bill, the Burton bill, has passed the Senate, but with an amendment by Senator Bate of Tennessee, which practically makes the bill of none effect. The House committee on agriculture has rejected this amendment. Dr. Ambler said that the measure did not lack friends in the Senate and House; that the country recognizes it as a just one, and that a hearing has been promised to Southern congressmen during the coming short session of Congress. He urged that efforts of friend3 of the bill should be centered upon the rejection or modification of the Bate amendment in the Senate, and upon a hearing of the measure upon the floor of the House of Representatives. In furtherance of the bill the Senate has published a magnificent volume, known as Senate Document No. 84, containing the message of President Roosevelt recommending favorable consideration by Congress and the elaborate report of Secretary Wilson of the Department of Ag.wulture and comprehensive and valuable appendices. These official utterances leave little to be said about the necessity for the Forest Reserve. But there is danger that without organized effort on the i part of everybody interested the objects of the bill may be defeated through delay. / "K i . \ > SAW POISON MAlfl New Evidence in the Famous MoliiKV ? *eux Case. A WOMAN GIVES HER EVIDENCE. She Would Have Spoken of the Incident at Once, but Her Husband Persuaded Her Not to Do So. New York, Special.?The greatest sensation in the second trial of Roland B. Molineux. charged with the murder of Mrs. Adams, came late Thursda.when Mrs. Anna Stephenson, the wife of a Brooklyn policeman, was called to the stand by the defense and testSed positiveliy that Molineux was not the man who mailed the now famous pois on package at the general posloifiee on the -vening of December 23, 189S. Then the witness partially identified Harry Cornish, who. was asked to stand up in court, as the man whom she saw standing in front oi her in the line at the pootoffice and holding in. his hand a package addressed to "Air. liarry Cornish, Knickerbocker Club.'* That was all she saw. Her identification of Cornish was not positive. She said he lcoked very much like the man. The witness' account of her movements on the evening of December 23. and her reason for tret appearing at the first trial were given is detail. Tue- ' prosecution on cross-examinatici brought out the fact that Mrs. Stephenson had suffered fiom attacks of nervous prostration within the last two years and had carefully read the details of the former trial. The questions, of the assistant district attorney tended to show that an effort would be made to prove insanity or delusion, it is also said that an effort will be made to prove an alibi for Cornish. Mm. i Stephenson was on the stand wheur^ court adjourned. When court opened Thursday David. N. Carval'ho, the handwriting expert, who was on the stand when adjournment was taken last night, resumed his place In the witness chair. He said he did not believe that Molineux wrote - - ?? ? MM ? MM AMtt rt# tne poison pacnage wiappei ui au; m the disputed writings, and in detail explained to the jury his reasons for hift opinions. i As soon as the direct examination of i Carvalho was completed Mr Osborne, assistant district attorney, made another attempt to get the "Barnet diagnosis b'ank" in evidence, but Justice ' Lambert declined tc reverse his earlier ! ruling excluding it. The sc-called | "diagnosis blank" gives the measure: ments and other data of a man suffering frcra a trouble the patent medicine ; venders, to whom the blank was adj dressed, guaranteed to cure. When the technical part of the crossexamination of the witness was finished counsel asked Carvalho if he had ! compared the disputed writings with the handwriting of Harry S. Cornish and Rudolph Helles, both of whom have been shown interested in the; case. Carvalho said he had. "Did Cornish write the address oa the poson package?" asked Mr. Osborne. "He did not." replied the expert witness without heistation. "Did Heilers write it?" "No, sir." "Mr. Carvalho," said ex-Governor Black, "you answered a question here ; as a physiologist. You were asked whether you thought a man when writing an address on a poison package would disguise his writing and you re- a plied "Yes." Let me ask you another ! question. Do you think a man sending? ; a poison package to himself would write the address at all with Mid ; hand?" Mr. Osborne objected and the court declined to let the witness answer. After the recess seven witnesses testified that Molineux did not write the poison package address. These witnesses were Clarence Foote. David W. Torrey, Sampel H. McDowell, and Geo. Duncan, handwriting experts from banks; E. D. Bushneli, who was chairman of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club house committee, and had seen Molineux write; Prof. George Golday, % of Princeton University, who had correspondence with Molineux, and Samuel Pittinger, cashier of the New York Athletic Flub. Louis Jacobson, who worked in a New York store, testified that he knew Cornish and Mrs. Rogers well, and that he frequently saw them together. He said he had sold bromo-seltzer to Mrs. Rogers. Cornish, in his testimony, swore he had never tasted bromoseltzer and Mrs. Rogers said she had never bought any of the stuff. The as sistant district attorney, in cross-examining Jacobson, got the witness to admit that he could not remember the names of any others of his customers who drank bromo-seltzer. The defense then called Wm. J. Liell. proprietor of a drug store near the house where Mrs. Adams died. Cornish testified that when Mrs. Adams 1 became sick he ran to Liell's store and ; Liell gave him aromatic spirits of am- A monia. Liell corroborated that testi mony. He said Cornish seemed very I much excited, but that he did not look fl sick. A Emma Miller testified she sold thefl bottle-holder in which the poison wa^H sent, after the store lamps were lighiJH^ ed, and Barton Huff, a traveling sales- w mJin cniH Vio tt'oc ?n T-Torfr>+n**A WWIU **V "U?

He described the map, his descriction tallying with that of Miss Miller. . i A Liberal Victory la Yorkshire. London.
