1HE BRITISH MEMORIAL.

Boston, November 27.-The agitation
over this purpose Of British-American
residents here to build memorial to
British soldiers OF the Revolution on his.
torlo Boston Common, Is still going on,
and 1t cropped out In the meeting Of the
board Of aldermen this afternoon when
that body In concurrence with ths lower
bolrd passed an order asking the Mayor
to revoke his permit TO the Victorian club
to put up the memorial. a great effort
was MAIDS to have the order discussed In
secret session presumably that Whatever
was said or done would not hurt the
chances Of those who are candidates for
Office. The motion to smother the order
was defeated and the order, Itself, was
passed in open session without division,
This order provided that an alderman
should wait on Mayor Quincy and protest
against the permit. When the chairman
attempted to name = committee each al
dsrman In turn, declined to serve, but
after an attemp, to reconsider the order
had been defeated, Alderman Brick Of
