MEXICO APPLAUDS.
The Press and People DenOunce England
and Praise Cleveland


and Praise Cleveland
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 24.-The press
continues to give hearty support
to President Cleveland, one journal
calls him the champion of all
the American people, and says
the Monroe doctrine now has be-
come broad principle, affirming the
right of all Americans to THAR own
territory and the menace of bsorption
has disappeared forever.
Ell Globo says: England has earned
the profound antipathy of all American
countries by its rapacity and its utter
lack of magnanimity and its sordid and
robbery instincts.
"CIevsiand's stern and vigorous words
have filed the American people
with joy. 1t is an unexpected
revenge upon England and a meri-
ted =, humiliation for her and
she now tastes the contempt she has Wis
tied on all other nations.
"The principal of America for its own
Inhabitants, watered by the blood of
100000 Mexicans in the war against
France, has now grown to a full ripeness
and is avowed for all mankind in Cleve-
lands great message"
The press generally is of the same
tone.

1ectual Circles is no More.
Mrs. n. 4. Waterman, whose death had
been expected by her friends since Mon
day morning, died this morning at $3.50
o'clock.
Mrs. Waterman was stricken with cere-
bral hemorrhage last week and at first
it was hoped she would recover, but on
Sunday her condition changed for the
worse and she failed gradually until this
morning, when she died.
The deceased was the wife of Deputy
Bank Commissioner NJ. A. Waterman.
Mr. and Mrs. Waterman came to Topeka
from Fort Scott when Mir. Waterman was
appointed to the position he now holds,
three years ago. They have one child,
a boy about six years of age.
Mrs Waterman was an unusually brill
liant woman and had a large acquaint-
ance in literary and club circles.
The funeral will take place from the
house, 715 Monroe street, tomorrow after
noon at $3.50 o'clock when the short Epis-
copal service will be read.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
The Conclusion of the Blake Thompson
Suit.

In the Supreme Judicial Court yester-
day morning, before Judge Foster, there
was hearing on bill in..equity, (which
| is sequel to the suit'of Arletta Blake
VS.. Edgar r. Robinson, for breach of
promise, tried in the Superior Court
some time.ago. At that time Miss Blake
secured a Averdict of 1926 damages from
| Robinson.
The bill in equity is Edward F. Tomp-
son, assignee, VS.. Edgar R. Robinson and
Olive J. Robinson, VIC. Chapman acting
as attorney for 1.-THE assignee, and D..
The bill is brought by sthe assignee on
claim that Edgar r. Robinson made a
transfer of real estate before going into
insolvency, in fraud.of his creditors. At
ter Arletta Blake brought her suit and
before the trial began, the transfer was
made by Robinson to his mother, Olive
j. Robinson. The assignee claims that
the property was transferred in antici-
patton of a Judgment against him in or
der that it might be ilnpossib BILE to COL
lect acknowledgement.
Robinson contends that the property
really belonged to his father and mother.
The deeds were in his name, as a mat
ter of convenience. He had no equity in
the real estate, but was simply acting as
his parents agent. He says that after
the suit was brought against him, he
feared that the property of his father
and mother, standing in his name, would
be entangled, in event of judgment
against him. Accordingly he made the
transfer in question. After the verdict
against him, Robinson went into insol-
vency.
The bill in equity asks that the CON
veyance of the real estate to Olive j. Rob-
inson be declared null and void. In case
the court grants this request the proper
ty will be subject to execution to satisfy
Miss Blake's claim.
Yesterday afternoon the arguments
were made, and the judge will render
his decision on Friday morning.
