Judge Kimball to Act.

Judge kimball to Act.
A proceeding said to be entirely novel in
character was Instituted this afternoon in

iumbia, when Albert 8. Trundle, through
Attorneys Douglass Douglass and
Levi David. petitioned for a writ of pro-
cedendo adjudicium to be directed against
Ivory G. Kimball. in his capacity as a
Judge Of the Police Court of the District
OF Columbia. Justice Bradley. to whom the
petition was presented, signed an order
directing Judge Kimball to show cause the
I'D instant why the writ should not issue

Judge KimbaIl to proceed to Judgment, &C
cordtng to law in the case. of the District

ed mot guilty" and demanded a trial by
jury. Acting upon legal advice. he says.
ne has not worked the horse that figures in
the case since the 26th Of June. He con-
tends that his arrest was unwarranted.
coed to trial
1t Is further stated that Judge Kimball
mas refused to give the petitioner trial,
and such refusal Is in effect depriving the
petitioner of the use of his property
The assertion is made that the Judge Of
the Police Court holds daily sessions and
that 1t is provided by law that the petit
TONER Is entitled to jury trial. yet never
theless Judge Kimball refuses to try the
case, and says he is unable to give the
petitioner or his counsel any information

PRESIDENTS COURSE JUSTIFIED
Many Innocent Lives Saved In
China.

China.
1t Is now apparent from mail reports
which have just reached the State De-
partment from China that 1t was solely
through the moderation and humanity ex-
ercised by the United States representa-
tives at Pekin. by the Presidents direction
in the early negotiations for a settlement
Of the Boxer trouble, that number of
innocent lives were not sacrificed. These
reports show that q more sober and palms,
taking inquiry has developed the fact that
some Of the Chinese officials supposed to
have been connected with the Boxer out
RACES. whose capital punishment was de-
manded by the foreign minister's have been
proved to be entirely innocent of the
charges made against them. In many other
cases proof has oeen adduced that the Of
lenses with which the Chinese officials were
charged were not nearly so grave as was
at first supposed by the foreign representa-
tives In Pekin. Therefore 1t is regarded
here by officials as a matter for congratu-
lation that Messrs. Conger and Rockhill
moved with elaboration and acted as a re-
straining influence in the matter of punish
ments. for not only were these lives saved
but, under their influence, the whole list
Of capital sentences was reduced from ten
to four. and mitigation of other offenses
was obtained

DESERTIONS FROM THE NAVY.
Many Enlisted Men Tired of Their
New Life on ShipbOard.

1t Is reported that many enlisted men Of
the navy. chiefly landsmen, have deserted
from the warships at the New York navy
yard within the past week or So Most Of
the assertions are from the training ships
Dixie and Buffalo, which are fitting out
for long cruises, but there has also been a
number from the receiving ship Vermont
Landsmen generally desert because they
find their first experience on warship not
altogether to the liking. while veteran
jackies frequently overstay their shore
leave and are afraid to return to their
ships. The punishment in such cases is
somewhat severe. Sixty one men attached
to the Dixie were reported absent yester-
day. Just how many Of these have actual
ly deserted cannot be determined until the
leaves OF absence of all have expired. An
investigation Of the matter shows that
many Of the sailors gained their liberty by
scaling 12-foot wall on the Clinton ave-
nue. side of the navy yard during the night
time. A lot Of lumber piled against the In
side OF the wall enabled the deserters to
reach the top and then drop to the ground
on the outside

NEW YORK. July 16.-In the London
stock market today American railway
shares, with the single exception Of the
United States Steel stocks were strong
Business In this department, however. was
light.
In the local stock market at the opening
there was a continuation OF the bear cover
ing and a renewal OF inside buying. conse-
auentiy another recovery in prices followed.
The railroad shares showed a tendency to
cut loose from the United States Steel is
sues. the recoveries being the most pro-
ncunced in the stocks which were the con-
spicuous sufferers on last weeks break
Reports of showers and a much cooler
temperature generally in the corn belt

In the railway list st. Paul advanced pa.

of other less active issues advanced / per

cent, Notwithstanding yesterdays cut OF
10 points in the price of refined sugar by
the Arbuckle Company.
Amalgamated Copper gained nearly 2 per
cent and Peoples Gas advanced over a
point The local traction stocks were much
stronger in sympathy with the general
speculation.
General Electric and Continental Gas also
scored sharp advances. Just before the
delivery hour a determined effort was
made to break the United States Steel
stocks, two prominent brokers selling $500
shares each, but only one-quarter OF 1 per
cent reaction followed these sales. Ii
looked as though this selling of the Steel
shares was engineered for the purpose OF
affecting the general list to facilitate the
covering Of short contracts by the bears.
II this was the object, IT failed signally.
as the railway list remained steady. and
as soon as support was noticed in the
Steel issues the general market started
again on another rally.
In the late trading the market behaved
very well. and there was moderate buying
of stocks by commission houses. something
that has not been in evidence for the past
three days. 1t looks as though the rally
ought to last day or two yet, as there is
unquestionably a very large short interest
In the market, and it is not unlikely that
some of the larger bear operators turned
bulls yesterday when the market looked
weakest, in order to shake off some OF their
short-waisted followers. The subtreas-
ury was debtor to the clearing house this
