Robert Alexander is languishing in
Jail because he refuses TO pay $500
towards the support of a pretty faced
baby girl the jury decided to be his
own illegitimate offspring, His trial
occupied most of Thursday and a por-
ton of Friday. Ida Dent, mother of
the child, and mum Der of other wit
nesses, were on the stand and the tes-
timony brought out was sufficiently
strong to convince the jury as to Rob
ert's guilt. Notwithstanding I. l..
Cleary, defendants counsel, made a
strong play in his behalf. The action
was brought to obtain support for the
child and Judge Clementson fixed the
amount at $500. The young mans
parents were willing to fix up the
matter for him but he stubbornly re-
fused all proffers of aid and said he
would die in Jail first before one cent
should be paid for him in settlement
of crime of which he was innocent.
The court therefore ordered defendant
committed to Jail. 1t is reported
that the amount was reduced to 5000,
but Robert still languisheth behind
the bars and is as defiant as the day
he was locked up.
A similar case against Clarence
Cushman of Montfort, son of Auction
eer Cushman, was called for trial Sat-
urday morning. the plaintiff Il the
case was Mary Franklin and a score
of witnesses came along on one side
or the other. Before the case was
called howevel. a settlement was eff
fected whereby defendant was released
from custody on payment OF $3.50 and
costs, the entire amount being in the
neighborhood of $3.50. The youthful
mother and child get $3.50 and the
father obtains his liberty.
The case Of bastardy against Robert
Knotwell was also settled out Of court.
The price he paid was $500 and costs.
Frank Duff, charged with adultery,
is in California or somewhere else.
He had an urgent call away recently
ana when his case was ready Friday
Mr.. Duff failed to put in appearance.
His bondsmen will be obliged to pay
the freight in this case, and bench
warrant was issued for defendant.
The case Of Nellie NJ. Newman VS..
the Foresters and a number Of others
will be tried by the court instead of

Washington. Dec. 13.-By special order
the senate convened today at IL o'clock.
The announced purpose of the early con-
vention was to enable Senator Hanna to
address the senate on the ship subsidy
bill before taking up the special order OF
today. the further consideration in execu-
tive session OF the HayPauncefote

Expresses His Views Upon the Action
Of the Committee on Railroads in
Reference to Freight Hauling.

The question which was left to the
committee on railroads OF the city coun-
Gil to deliberate, as TO whether the Union
Railroad company shou~d be prohibited
from running freight cars from outside
the environs of the city, into and through
The city's streets or not. was practically
settled last evening, when the committee
decided to submit its report to the city
council in favor Of allowing the Union
railroads cars TO run wherever they
wished and without any restrictions.
This marks the beginning of a fierce
competition In freight rates, and IL is
evident that not only will the merchants
and manufacturers be benefited, but the
general public as well.
The Consolidated road made strenu-
Gus effort TO prevent this question from
arising, and made still harder fight to
have the question reported in its favor.
MR.. BUCKLAND SURPRISED.
Attorney Buckland was seen by a rep
resentative of The News this morning,
and evinced surprise that the committee
should decide on report so unfavorable
to his clients.
He said that after the committee had
first looked into the matter. they pre-
pared an ordinance embodying the pro-

from which the measure now pending
was reported 20 the senate.
In opening his address, Mr.. Hanna said
that the remarks of Mr.. Clay had brought
into question the motives OF those who
had assisted In the preparation OF the
pending measure. AS member of the
maritime committee, as well as mem-
Der OF the committee on commerce, Mr..
Hanna said he felt IL his right and duty
20 explain the work OF these committees.
For myself" he declared, II resent
the imputation that any other motive
than these OF interest In our country and
good public policy actuated the commit

MIR. Clay interrupted Mr. Hanna to
disclaim any such imputation.
Senator Money introduced a resolution
providing authority for the abrogation Of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty by diplomatic
negotiation. Following is the text OF IL:
Resolved. that the president OF the
United States be respectfully requested
10 consider the expediency of opening ne
gotiations with the government of Great
Britain for the abrogation OF the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, with assurance that such
action on his part will meet with the
hearty consent and support OF the sem

BRISTOL
SHOWS NO
ANXIETY.
Herreshoff Is Very Calm Over
the Boat TO Be Built
by Lawson.

The news of the completion of Thomas
w. Lawsnn,s plans for q defender for the
Americas cup does not seem to cause
the Herreshoffs any uneasiness.
Aside from the appearance of half
dozen steel workers. who were under con-
tracts signed some tims ago, there has
been no increase OF the working force at
Bristol, and but little material for the
new cup defender has arrived.
AS stated recently. the Herreshons
show small interest in the boat to be de-
signed, built, manned and sailed by Bos-
ton men.
When asked why moro curiosity was
not exhibited by John u. Herreshofs. the
blind boat-builder. and his brother NAT"
tho wizard designer, boat-builder who
has their confidence said:
"They have contracted with the New
York syndicate to build cup defender.
which viii show a greater speed than
Columbia over cup course. They hg-
urs that from five TO ten minutes better
time can bo guare nteed. and have so
stated 10 the gentlemen who have ORDER
ed the new yacht.
capt Nat has been experimenting dur
ing the past year with models, and has
something TO Justify his claims In this
assertion.
"There is not now In existence an
other yacht In the world equal TO Column
bia, nor another designer beside her own
who understands why this is so.
"Other builders have yet to build n
yacht to equal the discarded cup defender
OF 1859. while the Herreshoffs are work
ing along known lines with the certainty
OF Improving upon them.
'"rhat IL tho chief reason they feel no
anxiety about their rival. and why Sir
Thomas Upton fears their champion only
