WHICH SHALL PAY?
Question as 10 the Payment Of Debts
Of Richardson Estate.
Mr.. Carroll Wants the Bondsmea Held-.-the
Creditors Look 10 the Estate.

The question of whether the estate
OF the late George r. Richardson of
Pawtucket, who died November 13, 1898,
is still liable for his debts or whether
the bondsmen of the administrators
must pay them, is the question Judge
Rogers took into consideration after
hearing statements of counsel i'm the
Appellate Court today. Mrs. Margaret
Simpson. the widow of Mr. Richardson.
who has since married again, claims
that the bondsmen of the administra-
tor are liable.
Claude j. Farnsworth is the admins
traitor and his bondsmen are Thomas
Robinson and Thomas w. Robinson.
Hugh j. CarrCN, counsel for Mrs. Simp-
son, claimed that within three years of
the appointment no account was filed,
and that action In the case was only
taken when Mrs Simpson sought to
have her dover set off. The estate was
then found 10 be insolvent, the indebt-
edness being reported as $2400, while
the assets We're reported as $ll27, be-
sides some accounts amounting TO $9sj
that We're represented as worthless.
Commissioners in insolvency were
appointed, and after allowing all claims
the report to the Probate Court was
signed by two of the three commission
ers. the third commissioner refusing to
sign. he claiming that number of bills
allowed were barred by the statute of
limitations. The Probate Court in Paw
tucket said that IL could not pass on
the claims approved by majority OF
the commissioners. An appeal was
taken. Mr.. Carroll agreed that all the
bills allowed were correct, but that the
administrator. Mr.. Farnsworth, agreed
TO pay the debts against the estate
and, not having done so. the creditors
now have a remedy against the admin
istrators bondsmen.
John w. Tillinghast. attorney for the
creditors, argued that the administra-
tor had failed to give notice OF his ap-
pointment, and that the estate was
liable

til Wednesday.
Washington, Nov. 21.--The state de-
partment has not yet been advised OF
the reported refusal of the Spanish
peace commissioners to continue the
negotiations in Paris. Secretary Alger
expresses disbelief in the accuracy or
the report, or, rather, he feels that IL
was based upon the personal express
sion of opinion OF President Rios Of the
Spanish commission, and that ne did
not necessarily represent the formai
opinion OF the full commission Still,
the breach, IL breach there has been,
would not be a matter of surprise to
the state department, which has shaped
instructions to the American commits
sioners so as to bring the negotiations
i'm Paris to a sharp issue one way or the
other today.
If President Rios did express the de-
termination OF the Spaniards. under the
instructions the American commission
ers will pack up and leave Paris Tor
the United states at once.
This does not necessarily wipe out
what has been accomplished under the
terms of the protocol, by which Spain
agreed positively to relinquish her SOW
ereignty over Cuba and Porto Rico and
evacuate those islands and to cede to US
one of the Ladrone islands for a naval
station. Those agreements are beyond
recall, and all that was left TO be set
tied at Paris related to the Philippines.
This is the ultimate position OF the
United States government as an
nounced at the department.
