Aldermen Approve City
Engineers Salary.
No Conditions About Outside
Work are Imposed.
Unwarranted Attack on Mr.. Little
BY Alderman Burbank.

There 10 q very obvious difference be-
tween the character OF q meeting OF city
officials Immediately preceding an elec-
tiou in which they are interested as can
didates, and the character of the session
Immediately following that election.
The fact was suggested by yesterday s
proceedings OF the Board of Aldermen.
On Thursday, october 30, the session
was a very tame affair, devoted principally
to talking economy, and Alderman BUR-
bank remained away altogether, rather
than run sny risk OF committing himself,
or saying the wrong thing at tho critical
point in his CAMPAIGN for reelection.
Yesterday there was a red hot session,
characterized by sharp personalities and
streaks of sull en- resentment.
Alderman Reynolds nagged at Alder
man Fuller by frequent illusions to coal
wagons, and the proper width of tires
until tho retiring member from the Sixth
formally thanked the member from the
Fifth for the free advertising.
Alderman Mccarthy uttered q TRADE
agsins. TIE PROVIDENCE NEWS for stat
ing the figures relative to the city debt.
But Alderman Burbank was the one
who introduced into the session remarks
and charges, which made all the other
members ashamed for him and for them
selves, and the most that chsrita BILE fell
low could say for hin, was that exulting
over an unexpected reelection In the
Second Ward had temporarily brushed
aside the mask Of parliamentary desency,
and revealed the real character OF the
Alderman.
Mr.. Burbank did three distinct thin gs
during the session.
/. He deliberately charged Alderman
Little with attem pting 10 speculate in
land at the expense of the city and be
deliberately charged Alderman Little
with attempting to coerce The city by
threats OF prosecution In the courts. Ii
IL needless to say that Alderman Littls
was absent from the chamber at the
time. The member from the Seventh
Ward Is president Of the Board, and his
accuser W ants the position next year.
2. Alderman Burbank fattered the
Mayor and fawned on him In formal ses-
sion In way both ABSURD and amusing
to the other members and to the Mayor.
A year ago the gentleman from the Sec
ond Ward did not fare very well when the
committees were appointe1.
3. Alderman Burbank went far out CT
bis way to accuse the superintendent of
public buildings Of carele,suess and in
efficiency. There are several candidates
who will oppose Superintendent Durfes
for Reelection after the Inauguration ami
yesterday was the first note Of the cam
psign against him.

JACKSON CASE is COMPLICATED
Evidence Claiming That Another
Man Did the Work.

Newport, KY. May Al. B. Locke, who
owns the farm where the body of Pearl
Bryan was found, testified today that ne
found two spots of blood on the ground,
also blood on the leaves of bushes. He
saw the marks of wheels of a carriage
on the grass close beside the gate that
led from the road to the spot where the
body was found
George Dayton, a bartender, was placed
on the stand. but was unable to answer
any questions put to him. On cross-ex-
animation the prosecution had him iden-
tify letter received from John Sew
ard, of Somerset, KY, detective work
ing in the interest of Scott Jackson. The
letter contained a formal statement of
matters to which Seward asked witness to
testify when called at the trial. The
court ruled the letter out.
w. r. Trusty. of Urbana, ILL.,. brake
man on the Southern railroad at the
time of Pearl Bryans murder. testified to
meeting Emma Evans at 10 o'clock the
night of the murder. They were Joined
by an old doctor, a friend of the woman.
They hired Trusty to drive the cab. They
stopped at a house on George street. in
the tenderloin district, where the doctor
carried the body of a woman from the
house into the cab. Thc-s they drove
across Newport bridge and stopped near
the place where Pearl Bryan's body was
found the next morning. The old man
carried the body across the fence, then
they drove back to Cincinnati. The doc
to- gave him $40 for the job. Trusty at
forwards returned to his home In Urbana,
Ill, where he told the story about this
midnight drive to his father. Witness
Identified certain letters on cross-examin-
alton. One was to Pearl Bryans father
from William T. Trusty. father of the wit
ness, stating that Trusty and son were
related to the detective and could solve
the mystery of Pearl Bryan's murder.
Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Bryan's attorney. after
wards received letters from Trusty solic-
iting employment for himself, telling him
the defense would prove that Pearl Bryan
died in Cincinnati, and he and his son,
and their cousin, who is a detective.
could thwart this evidence. The cross
examination also showed that their cousin
was John Seward. who had considerable
experience in working up testimony.
Trusty only knew the identity of one
and that was a woman with whom he
had been acquainted six or seven years.
whose name was George Baker, alias
Emma Evans. He knew nothing as to the
Identity of the "old doctor" He did not
even know the name or the house from
which the corpse was taken. He only
kIew the house was on the south side OF

Is NOT A BRITISH ALLY
TEMPER OF THE TRANsVAAL IN
Dictated BY THE PRESIDENT.
Publication of discriminating TeIe-
grams May Have IA Sorry Fas-
feet on Treason Cases.

Pretoria, May 4.-The volksraad, parlia-
ment of the TransvaaD was opened today
by President Kruger Great and most
unusual interest was taken in the proceed
ing in view of the recent disclosures made
by the publication of the cipher kilograms
exchanged between Cecil Rhodes, then
premier of Cape Colony, and others who
took a more or less important part in the
Jameson raid.
Numbers of the sturdy fighting farmers
came here days ago in order to bring their
influence to bear upon the members of the
executive council in the hope of bringing
about the mitigation, If not the entire
Communication Of the sentences of the con-
victed leaders of the johannesburg reform
committee. But 1t is useless to deny that
the publication of the series of incrminat-
ing kilograms has put a decided damper
upon the efforts of the Beers TO lessen the
punishment of the prisoners, but it is
said much may depend upon the action
of the British government toward Cecil
Rhodes and Alfred Belt, the directors of
the British South Africa Company, who
took an important part in the organza-
ton of the raid, and toward the company
itself, to say nothing of the punishment
which may be melted out to jameson and
his immediate associates. John Hays
Hammond, the convicted American engin-
eer, will, however, be more leniently dealt
with than his fellow prisoners. in view
of the fact that he was opposed to actual
rebellion against the Transvaal authori-
ties.
The president in his speech said in brief
that the recent events due to malevo-
lence and selfish objects" had seriously
interrupted the rest and peace of the
South African Republic, adding: 1T has
been ever my wish to promote the de-
velopment and prosperity OF the republic
in the most peaceable manner possible,
so l am firmly convinced that it is your
sincere wish to cooperate with me in this
policy and that you expect with the fullest
confidence that this session of the volks-
raad will contribute in no small manner
to the restoration OF peace in this state,
| in order that through our united co-opera-
ton our country may flourish and prosper
for the benefit of ALL" cloud applause
President Kruger turned to the rela-
tions between the South African Republic
| and its sister republic, the Orange Free
| State, remarking: II hope that a meeting
between the representatives, of the Orange
Free State and the representatives of the
South African Republic will shortly be
held and plans for a closer union between
the two countries will be discussed

FOR THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY
Mrs. Stanford Is Enabled to Pay the
Request of $2,5OO,OOO.

San Francisco. May S.-After three
years litigation over the estate of the late
Senator Stanford, Mrs. Stanford has at
last been enabled to pay the bequest of
81, 900 which the senator left to Leland
Stanford, Jr., university. This payment
means an assured income to the great
institution, no matter what may happen
to any person or persons, and this as
sured income implies an end to the finan-
cial stress that has been more serious
than anyone not admitted to the inner
history of the Stanford estate knows;
and this bequest has been paid with this
unusual promptness because of the energy
of the management of Mrs. Stanford her
self. The bonds transferred to the uni
versity draw interest at the rate of SIC. 900
a month.
