POSSIBLE CURIOUS CONPLI
CATION.

A recent dispatch anent the oriental
war makes a statement that will be
viewed askance by the people OF the
United States. This statement is to the
effect that the British foreign office has
sent instructions to Admiral Freemantle,
in charge of the British feet il Chinese
waters. to demand further concessions OF
territory to England in case OF any more
outrages to her majesty's subjects now
reHiGing in China.

that he encompassed Mr.. Estee's nom-

A Curious Thing.

Visitors to the mayors apartments in
the city hall notice as they pass through
the room Of the park commission the
pictures OF former mayors of tine city.
Seven of them, oil paintings nv various
artists, hang upon the walls side by
side and the silent faces Of the great
and gou0 men who have carried the
burden OF the city's affairs on their
shoulders in the past look down upon
the visitor from every side.
By a strange happening the pictures
OF Hon. W. H. Workman and Hon.
Henry T. Hazard hang on either side of
the entrance to the mayors room.
Visitors have noticed heretofore that
while the smiling face of Mr.. Hazard
seemed to be turned full upon the face
Of Mr.. Workman, across the corner, and
the eyes to look pleasantly into his, Mr..
Workman's eyes do not return the gszs,
but rather seem to follow those of him
who stands before the picture and gazes
at it. This effect is produced by trick
OF the brush and colors which artists
alone can explain.
Yesterday, a visitor gazing At the pic
lures OF these two men, who are now
both candidates for the mayoralty again,
seemed to see change in the expression
OF Mr.. Hazard, as though the eyes, which
constantly look into the face OF politi-
cal opponent. had taken on another ex-
preston, sinister look you might call
it, almost sneering one, a look not of
hatred but of mild rebuke.
There may be nothing in it at all !:
the eyes OF Mr.. Workman still look into
those OF the visitor with just the same
kindly expression as before. and the
face.

Protest Against Widening Broadway.
A very voluminous document, which
was filed yesterday with the city clerk,
is protest against the widening OF
Broadway, between Ninth and Tenth
streets.
The protest states some twenty type
written pages Of reasons why the work
should not be done. All of the reasons,
except that the commissioners charge
too much for their expenses. are on tech
nical grounds on alleged Irregularities
in the proceedings thus far taken.
The protest is against accepting the
report of this commissioners.
The charge of $775 for expenses, the
protest alleges, is exorbitant, and
therefore illegal.
The act of the Legislature permitting
the procedure is unconstitutional and
void, according to the protest, and the
resolution OF intention was not passed
in accordance with the act any way, it is
asserted later. The commissioners
were also improperly appointed.
