DISPUTE OYER A HOUSE.
Policeman Put in Charge Until 1t 10 Settled in
tho Courta.

The police Of tho Morrisanis station have
taken possession Of a three.stnry frame house on
the Southern Boulevard near 10th street pend.
ing a dispute over it between Mrs. Gimbert and
Henry Grant,. a notary public Of 2s4o Third
avenue. The house was the property OF DR..
Joseph W. Shannon, who died in the German
Hospital on Sunday. Mrs. Gimbert is his sister
in.law and she lived there with him until a
month ago, Then the doctor was removed to
the hospital, and Mrs. Gimbert, not wishing to
live in the house alone. sent the keys TO Crantz
and moved away.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Gimbert and Crantz
both tried TO take possession Of the house. and a
war OF words followed. CrantZ said he had a
verbal lease OF the premises. Mrs. held
that, as the house had been willed to her by her
brother-in-law. she was entitled to immediate
possession. Finally the disputants went 10 tho
Morrisania station and laid the matter before
Capt. MOnnhan. After hearing both sides Of
the case he decided to take possession OF tho
house until the question as to who had the right
to occupy IL was settled in court. 20 he sent a
policeman there. and q bluecoat has been in
charge ever since.

The smile that developed on the features
of the other diplomat became both broad
and eventually loud, and further nyesti-
CATION brought to light the fact that yet
other diplomats had been treated in the
same manner, that is to say presumably
the Identical gold cigar-case had done duty
for them all.
On another occasion Leopold was about
to present an English gentleman with a
gold cigarette case a. recognition for some
services rendered. The man, however,
was SO profuse in the expression of his
gratitude at the honor conferred by the
King in receiving him that Leopold came
to the conclusion that the cigarette.case
would be superfuous. He accordingly did
not present it, but actually retained it in

his right hand, while he extended the

1t is possible, nay even probable, that
the existence of this memorandum of
Dupuy de LONE and OF Calderon Car
listo may be denied at the Spanish lega-
ton at Washington. But for all th at it is
in the hands of the Duke of Tetuan, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs at Madrid,
who is only awaiting what is considered
to be the most convenient and propitlous
moment for presenting it to the United
States. AID it will be difficult for the lat
ter to decline Spain's request for the sub
mission of the matter to international ar
bitration. The only thing that the Ameri-
can Government should guard against in
that event is the selection of any crowned
head as umpire, since public sympathy on
this side OF the water has been avowedly
and notoriously with the Cubans, and
Emperors and Kings cannot be expected
to in any way countenance those who
sympathize with people in state of in
surrection against their monarch.

Roman Remains at Chester.

Within the last few days arch@ologists
and others have been much interested in
certain Roman remains which have been
brought to light in the ancient city Of
Chester. During the process of excava-
tions incidental to the re building of a shop
in Northgate (or Shoemakers) Row, near
the center of the city, the workmen came
upon the base of large Roman column
in situ. The fact that this relic occupies
the exact SPOT in which it was placed by
Roman workmen sixteen centuries ago
adds largely to the interest which the
discovery has excited. 1t is of native red
sandstone and rests upon the natural rock.

which republics are parties, there are
other reasons why King Leopold is the
very last person who should ever be
chosen to act as umpire IN any contro-
versy In which Japan is concerned.
Among the numerous com mmercial, indus

Leopold is interested as principal stock
holder and moving spirit is the new Japa-

of sufficient importance to have inau-

treated the two Counts de Cunchy in the
transaction, smacking of Naboth's vine-
yard by means OF which he obtained
their acres in order to round off
the park of his beautiful cnun-

is the mildest expression that can be
used in describing the affair, and the law
