This was an action by n doctor
against an executor for services rem
dered by him to the defendants tes-
tator. part of the services included
in the bill of particulars were rendered
by another doctor who acted for the
plaintiff in rendering such services.
The point decided appears from tho
opinion Of the court.
The court says:
Under rule 3. section l. of rules nm
der the practice act. the plaintiff in an
action for goods sold by his statesmen.
or labor performed by his workmen in
the ordinary manner or such business
would not be required TO state that he
mad acted by such agents. But physi-
clans do not send agents to perform
professional services of the kind de-
scribcd in the complaint, and in an ac-
ton for such services which have been
rendered by another physician provided
by the plaintiff that fact should be
stated in the complaint. in order TO
fairly apprisc the defendant OF what

Il,
November rs, 1899.
THE OWNER OF a VESSEL HELD.
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTA Noes.
NOT LIABLE FOR INJURY TO
PLAINTIFFS CAUSED BY THE
FALLING ON HIM OF A BAG OF
GuANO WHILE HE WAS LOAD
ING THE VESSEL.
The case is shown in the opinion Of
the Court.
The Court says:
This action was brought by the plain
tlif to recover Of the defendant dam
ages for personal injuries sustained
whiie engaged In unloading q vessel Of
the defendant.
The appeal makes 1t necessary for us
70 consider and TO decide whether the
plaintiff's evidence was sufficient, In a
Just and reasonable view OF it, to war
rant the jury In finding that the plain
TIFF was Injured by the negligence of
the defendant. The plaintiff. with
others. was engaged during the night
hours In unloading the defendants
SNIP. ntis business was to place bags
OF tankage In the sling and to fix the
,oop or rope around them. so that the
paSS could be lifted by machinery out
OF the hold. through the hatchway.
and over the decks of the shin to tho
"har1. AS one of the turns Of bags
was being lifted through the hatchway
inc loop slipped, and one of the bags
leii out and struck the plaintiff. and
broke his leg. The negligence OF the
defendant, rs alleged by the plaintir.
was mat the defendant did not furnish
u''ih Win sale appliances with which to
work, and safe and suitable place in
nc
10 do; or. that If ii did, that, under the
oirect orders of an alleged vice-prin-
cipal OF the defendant. the plaintiff was
1nade 10 so hurry UP his work as to
prevent his properly looping the bags
IN the sling. The evidence of the plain
III, including his own testimony. how
ever, showed that the defendant did
iurnlsh safe place in which the plain
tiff was to do his work. lie said: "Wc
could see In the hold where we were
working. but ii was not bright I could
nave worked under the deck and got
out OF the way. or from under the
hhtchwny." Nelson Shaw. witness for
the plaintiff. testified that Jim Davis
was foreman of the hands. II heard
him tell the hands that night to be
careful. and not get hurt, and as the
bags were going up. to keep out of the
hatchway. Our rule in working Is to

are going up. We had room enough to
stand under the decks of the ship on
either side of the hatchway." The evil
dence showed that the plaintiff had
worked, OFF and on, for six years for
the defendant in unloading vessels. The
evidence also showed that suitable ap-
pliances were furnished by the defend
ant, and that they We're in good condi-
ton. Under the evidence. it is mat
ter of no moment that there was no
light on the deck: for as the plaintiff
had been provided with a safe place in
which to do his work and with proper
appliances In good condition. the de-
fendant was not liable. Affirmed.

MILES DISCUSSES CHINA.
Thinks There is a Prospect of q Big
War.


In an interview regarding the situation in
China in Chicago yesterday, General Nell
son A. Miles is quoted as saying:
No, / do not believe that the acute
stage of the Chinese crisis has passed."
said the general. Il believe that it is pos
powers will yet bring on a general conflict.
which will involve all the civilized powers
in the greatest war Of modern times.
THE danger arises from the chance that
some of the powers will attempt the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire If the
United States and Russia succeed in acting
in harmony along the lines of the reported
agreement proposed between them. it may
result in a peaceful outcome from the pres
ent situation"
DO you believe that an attempt to par
tition China would result in a conflict be-
tween the powers. general?'
That Is my opinion
What attitude would the United States
adopt in that case. do you think? Would
this country fight?'
II believe it would have sufficient cause
20 fight" General Miles response. $50
far as l see the most hopeful indca-
ton is the chance that Russia and the
United States will agree to act together
he continued. There is, to my mind, every
reason to believe that Russia is acting
in good faith. Russia has more TO gain
by the preservation of the integrity of the
Chinese empire than she has by the policy
of disruption. She has spent vast sums of
Siberian railway, the greatest enterprise of
modern times
