WlNSLOW OBJECTS.
Tie and Others Do Not
Favor Hakallson's
Petition.

Leicester, Oct. 28.-Selectmen E. ].
McDermott and James E. Boardman,
Col Samuel E. Winslow and John Ha-
hanson, were the interested parties
present at the hearing on Hakanson's
petition for the town to give him
right of way from his home on Winslow
avenue to Main street
William F. Whittemore and Edmund
Z. MacAuliff, who own land adjoining
Winslow avenue, over which the right
of way Hakanson desires would have
to pass, were not present. In conse-
quence little was done, and the hearing
will have no effect
Col. S. e. Winslow simply stated that
he objected to a right of way being
granted. Winslow avenue, which was
constructed when the Worcester and
Suburban tracks were first laid. was
laid out almost entirely on Mr.. Wins
lows land. Mr.. Winslow retained a
strip of land one foot wide on both sides
of the avenue. When Hakanson built
his house, Mr.. Winslow did not grant
a right of way. as he wished to retain
his property himself, and did not de-
sire to have people build along the
avenue.
Hakanson has a right of way to

not isolated, but he desires a nearer ap-
proach. The granting of a right of way
would also benefit Mr.. MacAuliff.

General Lawton in congress who knew of
his moderate circumstances were prompt
in introducing today measures for the re-
lief of his family. Senator Fairbanks in
troduced bill granting a pension of 5000
a year to Mrs. Lawton. Mr.. Lands, who
represents the district from which General
Lawton's first regiment was recruited, in
troduced a similar bill in the house.
Mr. Lands desired to secure immediate
consideration for the bill and a request to
this effect would have been made had not
the rules imperatively required that the
bill must first go to the regular committee
Moreover, a bill of somewhat similar tenor
has heen introduced for pensioning the
widow of the late General Guy v Henry,
who was governor general of Puerto Rico
and as this is pend'fe t~fore the commit
tee 1t was felt to be desirable to make no
distinctions.
Senator Fairbanks saw the president to-
day in regard to the return of General
-Lawtons body to the United States The

monies be given something of a national
character.

Washington, December 2O.-No business
was transacted at the brief session of the
house today The time was occupied in a
filibuster against a motion to adjourn. The
democrats and some republicans did the
filibustering in order to give Mr.. Grow, the
venerable ex-speaker of the house, an op-
portunity to reply to some statements made
yesterday by Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee.
Mr.. Payne, the majority leader, was de-
feated on two roll calls. Mr.. Richardson
ehafned him on his defeat in a good-natured
way.

The democrats enjoyed the discontinue
of the majority, and Mr.. Underwood of
Alabama moved that the mouse go into

Grow might be heard, but the speaker de-
cided that the motion was out of order.
Mr.. Grow claimed the floor as a question
of personal privilege, and in spite of Mr
Payne's objections the speaker decided to
Eear MIN for five minutes.
MIR. Grow, in his remarks, reiterated his
contention of several days ago, that

Mr.. Gaines replied briefly, and then at

ROBERTS IN LONDON
Talks of Prospects of British in South
Africa

London, December 20.-General Lord Rob-
British troops in South Africa, accompan-
led by Lady Roberts and their two daugh-
ters, arrived in London this morning, hav-
ing travelled from Dublin with Mr. Cham
berlain. Their departure from Dublin was
marked by cheering crowds, but the gem
eral made a quiet entry into London After
going to private hotel he spent sbout an
hour at the war office in consultation with
the Marquis of Lansdowne. the secretary
of state for war. 1nen General Roberts
returned to the task of packing his effects
and interviewing the officers selected for
his staff.
When Little Bob's,' the beloved of
Tommy Adkins" received a representa-
tive of the Associated Press he was dress
ed in the deepest black, in vivid contrast
with his snow white hair and mousta che.
His dapper little figure was as straight as
ever, but the eyes that have so often scan
ned British victory were slightly dmmed
by the great personal sorrow that has be-
fallen him. In spite of this and the null
titude of details that claimed his atten-
tion General Roberts Willingly assented to
send through the Associated Press part
ing message to the American people and
gave the following statement:
circumstances naturally forbid my
speaking about the campaign ahead of me-
except that | have entire confidence in the
British soldier and I believe the traditions
Of our army will be upheld in South Africa.
For the friendly interest and sympath thy
exhibited by many Americans, 1 am most
deeply grateful. l feel sure the Justice of
our cause merits this. Though we may be
at war, / can safely say that no unneces-
sary harshness and no acts of inhumanity
will mar the fair name of this branch of
the Anglo-Saxon race. I cannot too warm
ly express my admiration for the spirit
which prevails IN our colonies. The action
of Canada will always be a glorious page
in the history of the sons Of the empire
l look for great things of the men she has
sent to the front and is now sending to the
front.
