we are right In our conclusions that the
Law is unconstitutional. this disposes Of
the case.
Juarment Of Custer Entered.
I'VE were asked by one Of the counsel
in his oral argument, whatever our deci-
sion In this case might be, TO decide the
question whether the city under any cir
cumstances may build or buy lines Of
street railway In It's streets, all lying
within the city limits. and lease them
upon such terms as to the city authorities
shall seem to be for the best interests OF
the citizens.
at is not necessary to pass upon the
question Just stated in order to dispose
OF this case. The law under consideration
involves much more than the simple
question OF municipal ownership OF the
tracks within the corporate limits. and
In the decision Of the case before US we
do not deem 1t wise to express an opin-
ion on any question other than the one
before US. 1t will be soon enough to pass
upon the other question when It is neces-
sary.

street railway commission: that the de-
PENDANTS have no title thereto, and that
a Judgment of custer should be entered"

POLES DENoUNCE An ALLIANCES.



Being Made with England.
CHICAGO, July 9--The Polish residents
Of Chicago, at meeting here tonight. de-
nounced an Angio-American alliance The
Following resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That We. ish-American
citizens, can see no reason for an Alliance
between this government. for which
Kosciusco fought and Pulaski died. and
that OF England or any other monarchial
power: that neither the traditions, the In
stincts nor the necessities OF the American
nation call for such an alliance, and that
we. as Polish-American citisens protest
against It and pledge ourselves to vote
and work against any political candidate
or any party who may advocate IT."
In opposition to the promoters Of the
meeting and IN favor Of the Anglo Amerj-
can alliance John NJ SIenkaiwIcs made q
bitter speech. in which he pleaded with
those present to stand by America and Po-
land first. before protesting against slii-
ances with the English people who have
always been In eympathy with Poland and
her cause. He said that. aithouGh the
Poles are hberty-loving people and win al.
ways stand ready TO help the Irish people.
yet he claimed they mus; first stand by
Poland and her cause, which In d way
would be furfhered by indoraing and Ia
voring Americas alliance with England.
He urged that the reason for the alliance
was the great struggle Of England with
Russia. in which event the Poles would
have a chance for liberty. for England and
America Joined together would annihiIate
the Russian power. The irish people, he
said, would In that event side with Russia,
Poland's enemy. because Russia'G. victory
over England would mean freedom to IRE
land. The result Of his speech was that
when the resolutions were offered opposing
the alliance OF America with ENGLAND.
those present were about equally divided
on the vote.
As result OF tonights meeting mas
meetings for and against the alliance were
organised all over the city among the
Poles and resolutions Of protest and Of In

PALMER'S ESTATE.
Application Made for the Appointment
Of a Receiver.
Petition Filed by State Treasurer-Favors
Industrial Trust Co.

Application has been made to the
Probate Court in Warwick for the an
pointment of a guardian of Amos ID.
Palmer the insane wife murderer. now
confined at Butler Asylum. The peti-
ton was filed by State Treasurer Wal
ter a. Reed, and the petitioner names
the Industrial Trust Company of this
CITY as guardian. The company has
power under its act OF incorporation to
administer estates, and IL is felt by
some that the selection OF this institu-
ton as guardian of the estate of Mr.
Palmer would be a wise choice
The move on the part OF the state
treasurer, however, was made without
consultation with any OF the relatives
or friends OF the man who has been de-
clared irresponsible and his attorneys
knew nothing OF IL until after the ne
uticn had been filed. The stem was
taken after due deliberation. although
any OF fllmers relatives or friends
might PETITION the Probate Court OF
the town In which he resided. or n
stranger, for that matter. IL so disposed
but as Palmer Is now in the hands of
the state an official OF the state saw
III TO move first I'm this direction.
Whether the friends Of Palmer will
acquicsce I'm the appointment OF the IN
dustral Trust Company. or whether
they VIII present some other desirabIe
person or corporation, will probably no
known before the time OF the meetiny
OF the Probate Court. when the peti-
ton Will come up for action.

TELEGRAPHERS TALK
OF STRIKING SOON.
Those of the Consolidated Road Have
Presented Their Demands--Rail-
way Officials Statement.

There Is a rumor in circulation TO the
effect that within the next ten days
there will be strike of the telegraph
ers OF the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, and it in
claimed that there Is already open rup-
ture between the Telegraphers' union
and the railroad officials. The MEM
bers OF the order of Railway Tele-
gruphers stHte thar the local branch
OF the order has sent representatives To
the officers of the railroad With their
demands.
These, which comprise an increase In
wages from S2.15 10 $2.15 per day, eight
hours to constitute a days work for
operators who handle 25 or more levers
in a tower, seven days in the year fos
vacation, and that the operators be
placed under the management OF a d.
vision superintendent, have not yet
been acceded 20. The telegraphers fur
ther state that the railroad company
has located in each OF it's signal towers
long distance telephone, and they
claim that this has been done i'm ex-
pectation of trouble with the telegraph
ers. These telephones. IL is claimed.
are to be used by the employees who
may be engaged TO take the place of
telegraph operators

Telephone Extension,

The same official when asked about
the long distance telephones, said that
the extension Of the telephone system
between the towers had nothing to do
with any projected or expected strike
or trouble. Ii was said that this ex-
tension had been decided upon long ago
and was being carried on in accordance
with that decision. With regard to the
claim that men had been discharged
because of their prominence in the Or
der or Railway Telegraphers, ii was
said that no man had ever been dis
chargtd from the employ of the Con-
solidated road for the sole reason that
he was n member of any labor organi-
Zation.
Thus the mattsr stands for the pres,
ent and 1t does not appear improbable
that there Will be some further deveI-
opment within a few days. but whether
Mr.. Powell vii lorder a strike or not
remains to be seen.

that there was some dissatisfaction
among the telegraph operators employ

the pay that these men received was

tors of any of the large roads in the
country, and he further said that the
operators were now under the direction

ded that, in his opinion. the Order OF
