HAVE THE KEFLY MOTOR

Philadelphia, Dec. 22-An arrangement
has been made between Charles S. Hill,
of Boston, attorney, for Mrs Keely and
the directors of the Keely Motor Compa-
ny. whereby the machines and data left
by the late John W. Keely are to be plac-
ed in the hands of T. B. Kinraide, of
Boston who has promised TO undertake
the work of completing the machines
within year and placing them on the
market.
At the annual meeting of the company
last night Mr. Hill, representing Mrs

cret to one member of the board of di-
rectors, providing it were guarded sa-
credly by him.
John ]. Smith. of New York was Sc
lected to represent the board of directors
and to report on his interview with Mr.
Hill. Mr.. Smith. in his report, said: II
think I have the Teely motor secret, but
1 shall use it no more for my own inter
ests than for the interests of the COM
pany. MIR. Kinraide will in short time
be able TO tell whether he can work it
out or not"
The machines will shortly be removed
to Mr.. Kinraide's laboratory in Boston.
1t is said that Mr. keely just prior to
his death sent for Mr.. kinraide and i'm
parted the secret to him. Mr.. Kinraide
processes confidence in his ability to per-
feet the motor.
T. Burton Kinraide has a large labora-
tory in his fine residence in Jamaica
Plain. For years he has pursued the
quiet life of a scientist, attracting little
attention beyond the circle of physicians
who have had use for his electrical inven-
tions. He is thirty-eight years old and

PARIS ENVELoPED IN
a CLOUD OF DENSE FOG

Paris, Dec 22-Paris will soon have
nothing to make London envious. The in
creased frequency of fog in the French
capital has often been noticed of late
years. and now Parisians have been treat
ed TO another London phenomenon-dark
ness at MONDAY.
A little before noon yesterday banks OF
cloud, hanging very low in the air, began
to gather over the city, and in a few min
utes It became quite dark-as dark as it
usually is at this season at half-past
or O'Clock. On the boulevards all was
gloom. and the only light was that sup
piled by the shop windows, which were
quickly Illuminated.
The darkness lasted fully half an hour,
and though at the end of that period there
was a slight break in the clouds it was
some time before daylight was fully re-
stored. Indeed, the sky remained dull
and gloomy during the rest Of the after
noon.
The phenomenon was by no means To-
Called in the central parts OF the city.
On the Seine the passenger steamers were
running slowly and with every precaution,
Tor the darkness, combined with rain so
thick as TO be almost like mist, rendered
navigation dangerous. The higher parts
of the city were similarly affected, and In

FRANK NILES TRIAL
AGAIN POSTPONED
ILLNESS OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE
Case to Come Up at the January
Term-Jury Discharged From
Further Duty.

The trial of Frank H Miles, who is
charged with embezzlement in appropri-
ating to his own use the funds of the
District, was today again postponed. The
postponement this time, however, is ow-
ing entirely TO the illness of Chief Jus
tice Bingham, who was conducting the
trial, but who has for the last week
been confined to his home with a severe
attack of grip. The Illness of the trial
judge and the intervening of the Christ
mas holidays made it very improbable that
the investigation could be concluded dur
ing the present term, so it was decided
to discharge the jury, which had the case
under consideration, and fix another date
for the trial next term, which begins in
January.
Assistant District Attorneys Shi.lingtoa
and Laskey, who have been conducting
the prosecution of Miles, stated this morn
ing that it was very much to be regretted
that the trial would have to be postponed
after il had progressed so far. They both
however. are anxious that the case will
be set for trial as early possible in
January. They are also very confident of
securing conviction when the case is
carried on to a finish.
The case is one of long standing in the
district attorneys Office. Miles was in
dicted in March last but put in a plea in
abatement to the indictment on the ground
he was not properly charged, alleging
that his name is Franklin and not
Frank. The matter was referred TO a
jury which held that he had been properly
indicted. Further delay was then caused
by an appeal to the district attorney that
the trial be postponed until after Congress
convened. This was done and the trial be-
gan December Il The Illness of Chief Jus
tice Bingham allowed postponement pf the
case from day to day until today when
it was finally disposed of for the present
term.

Mr.. amberIain's Position.
(From Uarper's Weeklv.)


OF all recent uterances upon the foreign rea

remains the most significant. lis Importance lies
not only in what he said, but in the fact that
it was he who said it. His position in British
politics is 4 very curious one. \ man Of ex

more exact knowledge than he is usually credited
with, beyond comparison the most effective de-
batter in Great Britain, greatly and vastly

ceeded in setting foot upon ii. Lord Randolph

berlaiu is not old, but ne is sixty-twO. IL was

him 10 oppose Gladstone so acuteiy over the home
rule bill, for he himself had already offered 4
single national council TO Ireland as has Just
been clearly shown by Barry O'Brien's Life of
Parnell'' and the reviews OF it Many of his
friends think that his ambition has taken
the form of desire to be secretary CT state for
foreign affairs. He has two rivals-one, his own
leader. Lord Salisbury; the other in the Liberal
camp, Lord Rcsebery. The former is aging fast
and the Conservative rank and file is honeycombed
with discomfort at his weakness; but the latter
is undoubtedly making great strides back to
power. and the country is unmistakably rallying
to him. Mr.. Chamberlain's problem must be,
within which party is he most likely TO realize
his desire? Among the Tories he is distrusted for
his past Radical record, and jealousy disliked
for his undoubted ascendency in the ministerial
councils At the same time he is greatly feared
because of the possibility that by reiu.ing to his
old Liberal allegiance he might smash TIE Union
ist Alliance and bring down the Tory party in
ruins. Knowing this he speaks with freedom
not to say recklessneSs, upon which nobody else
would venture, ard Of course he knows pre-
ciseiy what is taking place in the cabinet and
behind the scenes. 1t is for the reason thus mas
tily sketched that his words a:e heard and read
with such keen interest here. On the continent
he is enormously regarded as the trumpet through
which Lord Salisbury blows more wariike blasts
than he thinks it diplomatic TO produce on his
own instrument. The leading Belgian paper for
instance, has Just summarized his position by
