ASKS MILES FOR ADVICE.
Administration Deeply Troubl-
ed Over Philippine War.

Washington, D. G, April 26.-
General Miles had long conference
with the President this morning. It
is understood that his call had to do
with the situation in the Philippines
and the means of crushing the rebel
lion. There is a rumor to the effect
that Miles will be sent to Manila
and will take command of the active
campaign. The transfer of respon-
sibility from Otis to Miles may not
be effected until autumn, to which
season it is likely all further active
work against the insurgents will be
postponed The reports which have
been received from Manila continue
to be far from reassurlng.
There have bsen ominous delay s
in the operations, and there have
been frequent changes in the plans,
none of which information is, of
course, given out by the war depart
ment. Even the casualty list is not
made public in it's entirety. Only
such cablegrams as are recsive in
the regular course of the day are
given out. The lists by mail have
been treated as most confidential.
WHAT GENERAL MILES FAvoRs.
General Miles is understood. to be
10 favor of thrusting into the Philip
pines a large body of military and
of not Withdrawing the volunteers
now there until their places can be
taken by other volunteers raised
under the latest law, which provides
for a provisional army of 100000
Miles is quoted as being SO strongly
in favor of that proposition as tt
have recommended the chartering O.
additional transports and facilitating
to the utmost the placing Of troop
in the Philippines. This view ha
become less absurd day by day, anC
it is possible that the President vii
direct that everything be done t.
bring the insurgents to terms.
There is only one way to accom-
plish this, General Miles says, AM
that is TO place regulars and volun
teers to the greatest number in tn
Philippines without delay, going t
the extremity of special transport
and vaster supplies. with the estah
lishment of thorough blockade. /
was pointed out to the Presiden
to-day by Miles, it Is said, that tn
United States troops have quite a

with Spain. General Miles urge
the President to abandon the leisure
ly system of warfare in behalf c

There was a hearing before the ap-
pellate court today on defendants Pc
tition for a new trial i'm the case Of
John +. Mulvey against Woonsocket

tion on the case for negligence to re-
cover damages for injuries claimed TO

socket, on June 20. 1896. The case was
tried in Providence last March and a
jury gave Mr.. Mulvey verdict for
$4,000
The petition of the defendant corpo-
ration cites four grounds for new
trial First, because the verdict was
against the law and the evidence and
the weight thereof. Second because the
damages awarded by the jury were ex.
cessive and unjust. Third. because the
honorable court refused TO charge the
Jury as requested by the defendant.
Fourth. because the defendant has dis
covered new evidence that Il had no
knowledge of before said trial and
could not have had by the exercise OF
due care and diligence.
Frank :. Arnold. counsel. made a
long argument In support OF the petit
ton.
The new testimony consisted of am
davits signed by Grace Horton. Har-
riot Horton and Abez Allen Mowrey.

Ney riding on MS bicycle Just before
the accident. and. as they remembered
IL, was not riding as he cnntended be-
tween the car rails but outside Of them.
The third party said that Mr.. Mulvey,
while she watched him, rode outside the
tracks.
Walter Il. Angel counsel for Mr..
Mulvey, called attention Of the court

instances the fact that while the mo-
torman insisted the gong was sounded.

A BUSINESS Man Gives Some Fonts on The recu-
Iariiss Of Local Trade.

A well known business man on the
square, who has paid considerable at
tention to the peculiaritcs of this most
noted place, says that If "a man wants
to do business i'm the square he must
first decide what line Of trade is best
suited 10 his tastes, and then consider
what class of trade he would like. There
IS no use, he said. for anyone 10 under
take 10 sell anything that Is fancy or
fine. IL his store is located north or
Stokes street on the west side, for here
is the place 10 sell goods that Will wear.
No style. No trimmings. Just wear.
He also makes the statement that there
are ten persons on the west side 1t
Westminster 10 one on the northwest
corner OF Stokes and Westminster and
that there are ten on the west side or
Westminster street 10 three on the
southeast corner of Stokes and West
IN nster streets. This business man
says that If there Is any one who does
not believe this he will prove the truth
OF his statement by showing where
merchants have put i'm fine line or
goods and have been obliged TO change
entirely 10 plain, substantial goods.
All OF the mills opened as usual this
morning and will probably run all day.
Should sufficient number of the en-
ployes fail TO put I'm their appearance
after dinner the mills will close.
THE rubber works on Valley street
closed down last evening and Will not
be opened again until Monday morning.

ity made an interesting address on ex-
