WEST ESTATE.
Another Hearing on tho Case
In the Municipal Court
Today.

A continued hearing in the much--
talkde-of West case was held In the
ynunicipal court, before Judge SPHINX
today.
Attorney Wilson. by way Of opening
presented a typewriter request to Mr.
the Thomas West. purporting TO be
an order for the delivery OF certain
books, the notice having been served
upon the witness. and asked IL IL were
served.
Mr.. West readily acknowledged the
receipt and stated that he had deiiv-
cred II TO Mrs. MargaretWest.
Asked il he had delivered the bank
books and check stubs 10 Mrs. west,
witness said he had delivered up every
thing i'm his possession and ne tufther
acknowledged that IL was fully under-
stood that all papers and legal uocu-
ments were 10 be delivered TO her.
Mr. Wilson persisted I'm his question
regarding the non-delivery OF bank
books and check stubs, and Mr.. West
reiterated his answer Rat al were
given into the hands ofShrs. Margaret
West .
Mr.. Wilson brought out the fact that
upon the demise of George Ji West
certain checks were found detached but
still in the check book and that later
ferred to the attorneys representing
George Us estate.
Mr.. Wilson then placed before the
court number OF checks and offered
the same as evidence.
The examination then turned 10 an
alleged conversation between Thomas
Il. West and Albert in the presence or
the boys mother. Ii is alleged that
Thomas accused Albert OF taking the
checks from the book, but the testi-
mony introduced at this point did not
prove this allegation.
In reply 10 a question put by Attor-
ney General Wilson i'm regard to these
checks. Mr.. West replied, Everything
/ did in regard to these checks was
open and above board" This reply was
the cause OF slight titt between VIII
son and West but both soon gained
heir composure and the previous line or
questioning was resumed.
Mr.. West testified that he went 10
Europe in "a, and returned in the early
part OF 9j. He made a deposit of
1899 soon after his return and later
Attorney Wilson practically proved
that part of this deposit was check
which had been paid TO Thomas. and
which was found entered upon his ac-
count. Notwithstanding. Waldo NJ.
Place assistant treasurer OF the In
dustrial Trust company. testified for
Mr.. Wilson to make the point a strong
er one.

CITY HALL NOTES.

There Is a growing sentiment among
the members of the common council
that the petition of business men ask
ing that the time for the removal OF
the rails of the Consolidated railroad
on India street be extended, should be
granted. Quite a number OF these
gentlemen were around City Hall this
morning. and they had no hesitation in
saying that they would vote for extern
sion OF time on Monday evening next.
Neither Isaac II. Southwick nor Jas.
A. Pirce have yet qualified for the po-
sitions to which they were elected by
the city council on Monday evening. IL
Is probable that neither OF the gentle
men will take the oath OF Office until
after the neSt meeting OF the board OF
aldermen. when Judge Pirce will file
his bond.
superintendent of Health Chaplin re-
ports one new case Of diphtheria on
Orms street, and one new case OF

The committee on city property OF
the city council will meet I'm the ONCE

llttHStS. DtCdust, vi tOuISe, IL
cannot get his liquor license, of what
use is the hotel license?
HOTEL LICENSE FIRST.
1t seems, however, that in this in
stance Mr.. Boyden got his hotel license
first Why? 1t looks significant on
the face of IL and there are those who
aver that this license business is only
farce, and that Mr.. Boyden must
have received assurance from some
body and they were going to railroad 1t
through.
How about that?
1t is stated that Mr. Boyden pays
into the town treasury 5000 per annum
for two hotel and two liquor licenses.
although by the terms OF his lease he
cannot sell liquor at Crescent Park.
BETTER FOR THE TOWN.
A great many persons argue, with
seeming cause, that as Mr., Boyden
pays East Providence no taxes, II would
be preferable TO have that immense
tract of land cut UP into dwelling house
lots and used for residential purposes.
1t would be a real benefit every way
and the added revenue TO the town
would be considerable.
The News has Ii on good authority
that several persons stand ready 10
take the property, IL they can get il.
and have already plated II in their
minds eye.
Not bad scheme, Ell?

the occasion granted the request as an
extraordinary mark of courtesy beyond
the requirements of international inter-
course.
over Ave hundred foreign troops were
sent 20 Pekin. This shows clearly how
much care China exercised in the main
tenance OF friendly relations with other
countries. The legations at the capital
never had much to do with the people.
But from the time foreign troops enter
ed the city the guards did not devote
themselves exclusively TO the protection
OF their respective legations.
THEY FIRED GUNS.
They some times fired their guns on
top of the city walls and some times
patrolled the streets everywhere.
They We're repeated reports OF per-
sons being hit by stray bullets. More
over they strolled about the city with
out restraint and even attempted 10
enter the Tung Hua Gate (the eastern
gate of the palace grounds).
They only desisted when admission
was positively forbidden. on this ac-
count both the soldiers and the people
were provoked to resentment and
voiced the Indignation with one accord.
LAwLEss UPRISING.
Lawless persons then took advantage
OF the situation TO do mischief and be-
came bolder than ever in burning and
killing Christian converts.
The powers thereupon attempted to
reinforce the foreign troops In Pekin
but the reinforcements encountered
resistance and defeat at the hands OF
the insurgents on the way and have
not yet been able TO proceed. The in
surgents or the two provinces OF
Chlhli and Shan Tung had by this time
effected complete union and could not
be separated.
The imperial government was by no
means reluctant 20 issue orders for the
entire suppression OF this insurgent
element But as the trouble was so
near at hand there was great fear
that due protection might not be as
sured 20 the legations. IL the Anar-
chists should be driven to extremtics.

lie.
HAD A STRONG GUARD.
Like most men in very high official
positions. President Mckinley has been
the target for his full share of letters
from cranks. many OF which make
threats. and demands for money.
Ever since the beginning of the Span
ish-American war great care has been
taken to see that the president was
properly guarded while travelling from
place to place.
When ne was last in New York 1t was
Q matter OF comment in the newspapers
that the precautions taken to protect
him from annoyance and possible harm
were unusually elaborate.
Two detectives then specially as
signed TO guard the president were
Henry T. Foye and William II. Fun
ston, OF the Central Office staff.
They met the president In Jersey
City, went with him 10 his hotel, and
Kept all callers away save those prop
erly vouched for. When the president
went riding one or the other sat upon
the coach box with the driver.
oDELL's STATEMENT.
Chairman odell said this morning:
II have read the account in paper
this morning with reference to an al
legged plot 10 assass'nate President Nc
Kinley and also as to the part which
I am supposed 10 have taken in the
matter.
II lave nothing to say upon the sub
ject. except that l have made an in
vestigation which l started with the
state committee detective, on the line
OF what | suppose 10 be political In
formation. and | discovered either a
crank or a Baron Munchausen.
And on the principle that an ounce
OF prevention Is worth a pound OF cure.
IL Is probable that my report to Sec
retary Dick is the cause for the extra
care now being taken OF the president.
II have nothing further to say upon
this subject. except that l regret that
some one has been indlscreet enough TO
make OF n trifiing matter the gigantic
plot exposed In the papers"
POLICE HAD NO REPORT.
When asked about the discovery ~
the alleged plot Capt McCiusky. chief
of the detective bureau at police head
quarters. said he had heard OF no such
conspiracy. and as far "a he knew the
police Of this city knew nothing OF tho
matter. and that no detectives bad been
detailed on the case.

KIND OF REBELLION.
'In the first place there arose in the

been in the habit Of practicing boxing

public life have had more or warmer
personal friends. AS chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions he has had much to do with shap-
