Ex-Commissioner Coleman Against Whit
ford, AIdrich a. Co.

Ex-Commissioner Coleman Against Whit
ford, AIdrich g. Co.
The old case, which has been hanging
fire in the conrts for the past two years,
brought by ex-Commissioner of Public
Works Coleman agaiast Whitford, Aldrich
g. Co., on charge of violating city ordi-
nance in block ading the sidewalks with
barrels, came up for trial before Judge
Wilbur in the Court of Common Pleas to-
day.
The story has been told too many times
TO require repeating. Ex-Commissoner
Coleman testified that he had repeatedly
notified the defendants to remove
barrels from the street, but no
attention had been paid to these articles.
He had afterwards sent the superinten-
dent of streets TO remove the obstruction.
T.. l.. Aldrich Of the firm, Whitford,
Aldrlch e. Co, testified that he removed
the obstruction after being notified to do
so by Commissioner Coleman. He had
not intended to, nor did he think he had
violated any city ordinance.

The Irish Situation.

DUBLIN, Dec 16.--It is believed that
Michael Davitt's land theories will seri-
ously impede his candidacy for Parlia-
ment for Waterford. The Express says
that If the Irish farmers who are now
practically the landlords should hear Mr..
Davitt explain on the hustings that he
wanted to make land public property they
would stone him. The Express would
like to see Mr.. Davitt in Parliament
because being a singularly VAIN man he
would have his integrity and independence
soon supped by the Establishments of the
great folks in the Liberal party. Besides
il is doubted whether even il elected Mr..
Davitt would take his seat in Parliament
as in the eyes of the law he is a convicted
felon who has not served out his term in
prison.
The Freeman's Journal, discussing the
Tory home rule bill, says it is wonderful
how much interest is being taken in it's
details. Protests against il are being sub
mitted in great numbers to the Irish mem
bers of Parliament who must now unwil-
lingly take the responsibility of either ac-
cepting or rejecting j.. The Freeman
says: "Our duty is to put the Tory gov
ernment out of Office and then see what
Gladstone will do for u.s."

Orders to Brown and Mccain.


| Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Disna+cb !
NEW YORK, May 1S.-A Herald Washing
ton correspondent says: While the navy
onclals maintain great secrecy as to the
structions sent to Rear Admirals Brown
and Mccain, [ am informed the long cable
grams passing daily between the depart-
ment and those officers do not relate en-
tlrely to the search for the Itata A hint
was accidentally dropped by high naval
oihclal Saturday that our efforts to capture
the 1tata mad emblttered the insurgents to-
ward US and that American interests at
Iqulque, the insurgents Headquarters are
consequently in danger. This, then. would
account for the Baltimore and Pensacola
having been ordered to join the San Fran
cisco at lqulque. 1t is probably true tho
three vessels have orders to watch ont for
the ltata, but as it will be two or threa
weeks before she can possibly reach there
the hurried trip of Rear Admiral Mccain,
from Valparaiso to Iquique. which was
made under telegraphic Instructions from
washington, doubtless had some signif-
canoe beyond heading off the Itata There
is every reason to believe the long cables
received from Rear Admiral Brown Gave
news OF such character as to warrant tha
department. IN sending all available vessels
to Iquique Immediately 1t IS also he
lieved the Charleston has orders to
make that port in case she does
not overtake the Itata English war
vessels in the Pacific are also making a
station at Iquique, which is another indica-
ton lively times are expected there. Not
withstanding the determination of the navy
department to assemble the Pacific
squadron at Iquique to protect American
interests, the chase of the [tata is not to be
given DID. - "

Investigating Denver's Corruption.

DENVER, Col, May 1S.-TSpecial tele-
gram to The HERALD. when Mayor
Plat Rogers was elected by Democratic
and Independent Republican votes and a
Democrat himself took his seat, he ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
charges of corruption against the former
city officials. The charges included almost
all kinds of stealing, overcharging, double
charging of salaries, and having names on
the rolls of men who were not in the en-
ploy of the city. The committee has had
great difficulty in this work, as some of the
former officials decline positively to fur
nlsh any facts or allow any Investigation
they can prevent. Ex-Treasurer Place
claims that the checks he gave for all CITY
money he expended are his own property
and he declines to let anyone see them.
This morning he and Mayor Rogers had a
war of words over the matter In which the
mayor scored one. The checks will have to
Ebe surrendered and the law will be called
on If necessary. Mayor Rogers intends
that all the records of Republican misman-
agement shall be turned to the light.

| TRUST COMPANY
Has No Recourse in Law if a
Member
of the Trust Violates the Agreement not to
Go Into Business, is the Substance of
aDecisiOn by Judge Thayer,

ST. LOUIS. May 1S.-A trust company
has no recourse in law if member of the
trust violates the agreement not to 90 into
business again, is the substance of de-
cision by Judge Thayer, of the United
States court to-day. The decision was
rendered in the case of the American Pre-
servers company against the Taylor Manu-
featuring company. For years prior to
1888 the Taylor company has been
carrying on business in this citv
but the tempter came and the American
Preservers trust bought out their business
The Taylor company agreed not to 60 into
business again in this country for twenty
five years or until the trust died In 1880
the company did go into business again and
when the American Preservers Company
brought suit to enjoin them, they claimed
the agreement only bound the three stock
holders who signed. The trust filed an
amended petition, and the Taylor company
then replied saying if the company was
bound by the agreement, such contracts
were unlawful in Missouri. The demurrer
to the bill was sustained.

The Story of the Itata.

SAN DIEGO, May 1S.-The United States
grand jury, which has been investigating
the Robert and Minnie case, examined at
considerable length the men who deserted
from the Itata when she was in this port.
Iney told story much the same as that al
ready published about the movements of
the ltata and Esmeralda They said the
iat1er carried ninety sailors and sixty SOL
Galers, TOUR 6O-pound guns and lot of rifles.
Inc latter were secreted ia the hold, to-
gether with the soldiers before coming into
pan Dlego 1t was understood by every
BODY aboard that the Itata was on the look
out for a schooner with cargo
OF rifles and other munitions of
war which were to be takeL off
and an transferred later to the Esmeralda.
Inc vessels were prepared to fight
case OF trouble. AS near as can be
learned 1t was the intention of the Itata
ana Esmeralda to meet at a point on the
east coast of Lower California. If the
Esmeralds met the Itata there before re-
turning to Acapulco, the runaway steamer
mas undoubtedly been outstripped by the
charleston and is now on her way to ioui-
que. Soiicitor-General Taft has issued
suopPnaes on both the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies to produce all
kilograms handled by them in the past
month relating to Gillian affairs.
