Are Concerned.

An Old Dispute In which Manville Parties
Are Concerned.
The case Of Bazalice Lambert and Ana
statia Lambert against John b. Lambert
and ex-Constable Emanuel ID. Narcotic,
all of Manville, Is being tried today In the
Court of Common Pleas.
This Is an old dispute. In 1892 John b.
Lambert, with Constable Narcotic, visited
the house Of the plaintiffs and removed q
quantity of clothing for which action, II IL
alleged, no authority was given.
Narcotic claims that he went to the
house In question for the purpose of see
ing whether he could enter without first
obtaining a search warrant, and finding
no objection to his presence he collected
the clothing as he was desired to.
At later date the plaintiff brought suit
for the amount of 1000, and at the Dccem-
Der term was given judgment by default
for e678.26.
The Appellate Court gyanted another
trial and the present suit appears 10 have
dwindled the amount In question TO go.

Prompt Work By Central
Falls Fire Department
This Afternoon.
Fire Broke Out on the Roof Of
the Cross Street Police Station
and Spread Very Rapidly.
MUCH DAMAGE BY WATER
The Station and Headquarters Of the Veteran

At Id this afternoon fire was discovered
on the roof OF the Central Falls Police
Station on Cross street, by Master Eugene
Baker, and his prompt alarm prevented
serious loss. The fire was caused by sparks
from passing locomotive.
The building, two-story brick edifce,
IL occupied on the ground floor by the
police department and the Veteran Fire
mems Association. The second floor 10
devoted to the use Of the Central Falls
Public Library. Five years ago 1t was the
fire station, but passed to its present use
on the erection OF a new fire building.
The value of thA edifice is about $1,000,
but 1t Is believed the present loss will be
comparatively small, for which thanks
may be given for the promptness of the
fire department.
The men first devoted themselves to the
library, covering the books and curios with
their rubber clothes and then sending well
directed streams that washed out other
danger.
The police station and Firemen's Associ-
alton rooms were thoroughly drenched but
not burned.

An Effort Had Been Made

Her Terrible AffIicti0n Recent,
Although Threatened For
Some Time Past.
AT THE COMING DIAMOND JUBILEE
She viii Not be Able to See Her Subjects.
When They Pay Her Homage

Especial Dispatch to the TRIBUrE.l
NEW YORK, June 16.-A special cable
dispatch to the Sun from London says ::
The whole aspect OF the coming jubilee
has been suddenly changed by the painful
information which comes TO the Suns
London ONCE from source that makes IL
impossible to doubt It's accuracy.
It IL announced, on the authority of ono
of the royal physicians upon her majesty,
that ''the Queen IL almost totally blind"
No details Of the sad news are yet avail
able beyond the fact that the affiiction Is q
secret elimination, although 1t had for
some time been threatened.
II the cause of Her Majesty's blindness is
cataract, which IL the commonest form OF
impaired sight In advanced age,it of course
IL possible to cure it by q simple, delicate,
operation. No information ID yet vouch-
safed on this point.
In fact, It was hoped that the pitifuE
truth that the aged Queen would be unable
to see the millions of her subjects who will
pay homage to her on next Tuesday would
be withheld from their knowledge until
after the jubilee.
This Is the true reason why she Will not
ride alone In the procession, and why she
will not not leave her carriage ut the SER
vices to be held 1t st. Paul's Cathedral on
Tuesday, and 1t II semi officially an
noupced that abe will be unable TO respond
to the creating that win beexteud~d 70 her
along the line Of the royal pfocession.
1t also explains, possibly, the recent re-
yivsl Of the gossip Of regency under the
Prince Of Wales In the near future.

HAWAIIAN
ANNEXATION.
The President Will Soon
Send the Matter to
the Senate.
He Has Sounded the Temper Of
Body and is Confident OF
Its Passage.
ENGLAND ON THE TREATY.
Op:nIon Seems to be That the Treaty Can be
Disposed Of IN One or Two
Executive Sessions.

Washington, June 16.-President Nc
Kinley announced at the cabinet meet
ing yesterday and to senator's who
talked with him before and afterward
that he expected to send Hawaiian an
nexation treaty to the senate within a
few days. The treaty has been drafted
In the rough, but It has not yet been
signed. nor has the message of trans
initial been prepared. and hence can
hardly go to the senate today as some
senators were predicting that II would.
But 1t will probably go in shortly.
1t Is not believed that there will be any
attempt to secure immediate action on
the treaty and possibly It might not be
considered at this special session. Some
question has arisen as to whether the
senate alone will be competent to act
upon treaty which acquires territory
and II the house would not be called upon
to concur. but the precedents are that
the treaty-making power-the presi-
dent and the senate-can act, and that
the only matter in which the house
would be considered would be I'm case
an appropriation were necessary to carry
the treaty into effect.
1t was the expectation that the treaty
would receive the formal signatures yes
terday of the neCotiators, Secretary
sherman for the United States gov
eminent and either Minister Hatch or
az ,s'i<sS7 ksS'2 81 s,' - -
HE document itself Ma been prepared d
and Il was taken to the White House for
the presidents final inspection and re-
view. Secretary Sherman remained
at the department later than is his Gus
tom In order to receive the Hawaiians.
but finally at 4 o'clock the attempt to
secure the signatures to the treaty
was abandoned. This may prevent the
submission of the treaty to the senate
today, as was the intention Of the cab
met, but the delay in any case will not
be material.
At the cabinet meeting in the course
Of the discussion of the treaty 1t was
decided that It's tendency In the SEN
ate would not necessarily cause any
considerable obstruction to the progress
Of the tariff bill, and while there Is every
disposition on the part Of the president
tn avoid any interference with the rights
Of the senate In the matter, 1t can be
stated that the treaty will not go In with
any idea that 1t is not the wish Of the
executive that 1t should be acted on
promptly. While the treaty Is in the
senate. either In the hands Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs or on the cal
endar Of executive business, 1t Is the
expectation that the people Of the United
States will have an opportunity. through
the press and other mediums. to declare
their sentiments upon the matter. and
II, as is expected. there Is an over
whelming declaration for annexation,
II IL believed that the senate will be quick
to respond to the demand. In this case
the treaty. 1t is believed, can be taken up
and ratified in the course Of one or two
executive sessions, while the regular
tariff debates are In progress daily.
