In the probate court at New Bedford,
Mass, on the Sd, the petition of the
German consul at Boston that the prop
erty in that commonwealth of the late
Louise Won Schmeadel, of Munich, in
volving some 100000, in the possession
of j. A. Beauvais, of New Bedford, ad-
ministrator, be given in charge to the
Royal City court, of Munich, or to
Max Ritter Won Schmeadel, husband
of the deceased, was dismissed
and an appeal taken. This case
involves the question of the rights of
German citizen under the treaty be-
tween the United States and the Ger
man Empire to inherit property in this
country according to the laws Of success
sion. In this case the plant fl was the
German consul, Sebastian b. Schleisin-
ger, who, as provided under the treaty,
appeared for Won Schmeadel, the artist
of Munich, and the defendant was j.
Arthur Beauvais, well-known New
Bedford capitalist. The decision is with
out precedent in any reports in this
country, and the case in its entirety is a

HOPKINS JOINS H4RPER,

Convicted.

Convicted.
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 1.-The iury IN
the case of the United States against
benjamin f. Hopkins late assistant
treasurer of TIE Fidelity National Bank,
brought a verdict this morning of guilty
as charged in the indictment. The de-
icndant read the crushing Judgment
with reasonable fortitude. although he
has been suffering much physical pain
from neuralgia affection during the
trial.
Hopkins was charged with misapplica-
ton Of the funds Of the bank and with
aiding and abetting E. L. Harper in his
scheme of using the property of the
bank to gamble in grain. Mr.. Hopkins
dabeled in grain on MS own hook with
J. w Hoyt from January 10, 1886, to
February 10. Then a new account
was opened with Hoyt called
Account b, with several branches
such as "E'' "T' and a." This
was Harper's account. Hopkins bought
for Harper through Hoyt and Chicago
parties millions Of bushels of wheat in
lots from 5000 to 100000 bushels at a
time. The funds and credits of the FL
deity were used to carry on the deal
Harper was the central figure, 'the
pope" in this Napoleonic scheme. The
Chicago brokers would draw on the
various banks with which they did
business, being advised that so much
vas deposited to the credit of the Fidel-
ity. But the brokers kept demanding
more money for margins until Harper
could stand it no longer, the Fidehty's
back was broken, and the expose came
with the break in wheat in June. Mr.
Hopkins was cUnversant with every
move in the deal, for he purchased for
Harper. lie did not deny that, but his
defense was that he was given to under
stand that Harper had unlimited means
TO take care OF everybody.
4 motion for a new trial and an ar
rest Of judgment were made and these
will be argued before Judge Jackson on
Saturday next. District Attorney Bur
net, and his assistants J. F. Bruce and
henry Hooper, are receiving congratu-
lations on their success in spite of the
splendid fight made by Messrs. Bate
man and Harpcr for the defendant.

report to the British government, drawn
attention to the inefficiency and weak
ness of the squadron on the Pa

When here the admiral said that
if he had been in command OF

Canadian schooners were seized
by the United States cutter Corwin last
year he would have given the Yankee
cruiser a sample of what British justice
