DECIDED AGAINST THE BELL.
A Concession to telegraph COmpa-
nies Can Not be Made to Include
Telephone Companies.

Washington, May 22.-In the United
States supreme court an important de-
cision was rendered in the case of the
City of Richmond (Va.) VS.. the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co.
The controversy involved the right of
the telephone company to locate its
poles and wires in the streets and al
leys of the city regardless of the pro-
test of the local municipal authorities,
the claim of the telephone company
being made under the act of congress
of 1866, granting such rights to tele-
graph companies. The decision was
favorable to the contention of the city
and adverse to the telephone company,
the court holding that the concession
to telegraph companies could not be
made to include telegraph companies.
The decision was handed down by JUS
tice Harlan.

known newspaper man, and his wife,
were found dead in bed in room
filled with the fumes of Illuminating
gas. Letters written by Mr.. Ball,
which were lying open on a table, dis
closed the fact that it was a case of
suicide. Dependency on account of
ill-health was given as the reason for
the act. He was 66 years of age, and
his wife was 73. Mr.. Ball, who was
an Englishman, came to Boston about
35 years ago. For many years he was
the dramatic critic of the Traveller,
and of the Boston Herald and other

WRITTEN PROPOSITIONS.
The Purposes of the United States
Government Made Known
to the Filipinos.
THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT PROPOSED
President GOKaEn of the Filipino
Commission Admitted that the
Proposal was Liberal, and that
Nothing Could he Worse than the
Late Spanish Rule.

Manila, May %, 3:15 p. m.-Prof.
Schurman, head of the United States
Philippine commission, has submit
ted the following written propositions
to the Filipinos:
"While the final decision as to the
form of government is in the hands of
the congress, the president, under his
military powers, pending the action
of congress, stands ready to offer the
following form of government:
Form of Government Outlined.
A governor general, to be appointed
by the president; a cabinet, to be ap-
pointed by the governor general; all
the judges to be appointed by the
president; the heads of departments
and judges to be either Americans or
Filipinos, or both; and also a general
advisory council, its members to be
chosen by the people by form of suf-
frage to be hereafter carefully deter
mined upon.
Desire that BIOOdshed Cense.
"The president earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease, and that the people
of the Philippines, at an early date,
enjoy the largest measure of self-gov-
ernment compatible with peace and
order"
The United States commission pre-
pared the scheme, and the president
cabled his approval of the form of the
document.
The Filipinos have made no definite
proposition except for a cessation of
hOstilities until they can present the
question of peace to the people.
FaIIacy shown Up.
Prof. Schurman told the Filipinos
they had no means of gathering the
people together, as the Americans con-
troll most of the ports. He also re-
minded them that a liberal form of
government was offered them, and
pointed out that it was better than the
conditions existing under Spanish rule.
Gozaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse that Spanish rule, and ad-
mitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal.
AEuinaIdO's Demand PrepOsterOus.
The civilian members of the Filipino
commission have declined to coop
crate with the other members of that
commission, as the former consider
Aguinaldo's latest demand to be pre-
posterous, after Maj.-Gen. Otis refusal
Of an armistice, referring to his wish
for time in order to consult the Fill
pino congress.
VIII Lunch the COmmissiOners.
.
the United States commissioners, the
Filipino commissioners will lunch with
Prof. Schurman, and will afterwards
visit the vessels composing the Ameri-
can fleet.

Clark,an emplOye of a publishing firm.
She was taken, the police say, by a
nurse named Carrie Jones, who was
hired last week by the Clarks through
an advertisement. The whole thing
seems to have been a cleverly-laid plot.
The child was taken out Sunday after
noon by the nurse, and the empty
baby carriage was found by the po-
lice in Central park. Soon afterward
Mrs. Clark received this letter:
''Mrs. Clark: Do not look for your
nurse and baby. They are safe in our
possession, where they will remain for
the present. If the matter is kept out
of the hands of the police and news
papers, you will get your baby back
safe and sound. If, instead, you make
big time about it and publish it all
over, we will see to it that you never

still with her. If everything is quiet,

nurse girl wrote this letter. Mrs.
