Dr. Wt then 11 In reply said that he concluded that Shann came to his death through chronic mercurial poisoning. Dr. WetheriU's examination was similar to that of Dp. Cantwell, who wna on tht stand last Friday and Sat unlay. He described ti e symptoms of mercurial poisoning by the different forms in which the drug is administered. Ho also described the quantities which the authorities lay down as proper, and their action when given. He gave it as his opinion that Prof. Wormley found more mercury in the parts analyzed by him than would have been present had young Shnnn received only the quantity of mercury prescribed by his physician. \\ itness was asked if calomel is a poison. He said it would produce death and in that sense it must be a poison. Mercury has no effect on the kidneys, whatever, and so far as the use of calomel is concerned its effects upon the kidneys depends on its administration. Given in small and in fmjuent doses it would have no perceptiole effect, on the kidneys. Too much calomel would result in mercurialization. He was asked by Assistant Prosecutor Ap#ar what in lus opinion was the onus* of young Shann's death, assuming that the description and history of his case mm already testified to by Dr. Bergen and other witnesses was true. The prosecution called to the mm the llrst witness of the day, Dr. Horace O. Wetherill, of Trenton. He testified thai he was a graduate of the University o£ Pennsylvania and had been practicing medicine for 15 years. Trenton, N. J.f Aug. 14.—The trial flf Mrs. Mattie C.

It is easy Every indication is that an irregular debats on the silver question will he renewed in the Senate without waiting for the Democratic "steering" committee to accomplish its apparently hopeles task of It is true that ex-Speaker Reed frankly said during the last Congress that ho did not know enough on tho silver question to bo able to enlighten anybody, but ho may havo studied it since then. As to tho exact attitude of Messrs. Burrows, Cannon and other Western men on tho broad question of silver coinago there is boijio doubt which they themselves will .probably take fitting opportunity to dispel. It may bo doubted, however, whether this plan of reticence and reserve will be carried out. It is almost a certainty that as the debato progresses a stage will bo reached where the opportunity to score a political point, will provo irresistible to such aggressive leaders as Hoed, Burrows, Cannon, Hepburn and Henderson There are some of the bost speakers in tho Democratic ranks still to bo heard—Cock ran and Fellows of New York, Wilson of West Virginia, Culberson of Texas, Uynurn of Indiana. Bryan, the brilliant young orator of Nebraska, and earnest, deep-cbestcd Hatch, of Missouri, whose bonorous voice and striking gestures will enforce attention. It will be strange, indeed, if their remarks, divided as they will be pretty equally on both hides of the question, do not call out some pungent retorts or criticisms. "The Democrats haver undertaken to control and direct the consideration of the question, nnd refused to give the Republi,- enns a chance to hniend the order regulating the debate. Wo did not believe that free silver or 110 silver, which nre the only alternatives possible under the Bland order, were the only possible solutions of the situation, .and would have been glad of an opportunity to have amended the order so as to secure a vote on a proposition which we believe would go farther than any other to inert and relieve the necessities of the financial situation. But this bavin;; been denied us, wo do not fool that the Republicans have anything to argue, and my beliuf is that 110110 of the members 011 this sido will talus formal part ill the debate."
