THE OLD BAILEY CLAIM.
Commissioner Macfarland's Recon-.
mendatiOns Concerning 1t.

MaCfarlAndS Recon.
mendatfOns Concerning 1t.
Commissioner Macfarland, president Of
the District board. has suggested to his as
sociates disposition of the lang standing
claim of the old Bailey French Paving
Company. represented now by Elizabeth
w. Bailey. The claim involves more than
$4,000 and has been in the District Su-
preme Court, the Court of Appeals and the
Supreme Court of the United States. Mr..
Macfarland, after briefly reviewing the
case, recommends that If Congress shall
not deem the judgments of the District
courts conclusive as to the claim, it should
be referred to the United States Court Of
Claims The matter has been pending since
1879. Mr.. Macfarland says:
This is a claim for compensation for
extra work and damages under contract
between the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia and the Bailey French Paving
Company. dated July 30, 1879, to resurface
with asphaltum pavement certain streets
in the city of Washington.
Davis w. Bailey was general agent of
said company, and claimed to be said COM
pany in fact. He instituted an action at
law in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia against said District, for dam
ages. etc, growing out of said contract.
On June 49, 18S3 Bailey died, but the ac-
tion was revived In the name of his widow,
who was appointed Administrative.
January IL, 1892. the Commissioners Of
the District of Columbia appointed j. j.
Johnson referee in the case.
1.-The referee reported 20 due the
claimant. and that report became the sub
ject of suit in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia. In which judgment
for said amount was rendered. The action
of that court was sustained by the Court
of Appeals, but the decision of the Court
of Appeals was reversed by the Supreme
Court Of the United States upon the tech
nical ground that the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia had not the power to
bind the District by common law submis-
sion of the pending suit for breach Of con-
tract to a referee.

Now Leading i'm Exports to Manila

The division Of sinsular affairs Of the
War Department is in receipt Of its regu-
lar monthly report from the collector of
customs at Manila, showing imports into
that port for the month of May, 1901. A
noticeable feature Of the report is the fact
that for the first time during American oc-
cupation the United States heads the list
of imports, representing $549323 in value.
1t is explainable by the fact that instead
Of accepting the place Of invoice as the
country from which imported, the system
now In use traces the merchandise to the
country Of it's origin. Heretofore very
many articles of merchandise coming from
the United States and other countries were
credited to Hong Kong because invoiced
there. The imports into Manila during
May. 1901. were valued at s., 400 431.

JUNE RIOTS AT RIO.
They Were Caused by Increasing
Rates of Car Fare.


Rates of Car Fare.
United States Minister Bryan at Rio ia
neiro has made report to the State De-
partment in regard to the serious disturb
ances which occurred in that city for three
days and nights from June is. These dis
turbances resulted from the active opposi-
ticn of the people to the action of street
railway company in raising the rates of car
fare. The police were unable alone to sup
press the disorder, and it became neces
sary to use cavalry troops to clear the
streets. Quiet was finally restored by an
agreement on the part of the railroad COM
pany to return 10 the old schedule of car
fare. During the riots five persons were
killed and about 200 wounded, more or less
seriously.
THE fact that order was completely re-
established says Minister Bryan. "imme-
diately upon the reinstatement Of the old
fare schedule is sufficient proof that the
disturbances had no political significance
whatever"

the Commissioners to infer that the Su-
preme Court Of the District and the Court
of Appeals did not thoroughly consider the
merits of the claim before affirming the
referees award. Neither have the Com
missioners at their command any facts
bearing on the case that were not accessi-
BILE to those tribunals and it might be
deemed presumptuous in them to review
their proceeding, especially in view Of the
lapse Of time and the absence of any new
testimony in the matter. It therefore
seems that If Congress should not deem
the judgments of the Supreme Court Of the
District and the Court Of Appeals conclu-
sive as to the claim, 1t should be referred
to the United States Court Of Claims"

assistance, although he showed some
weakness. A team was telegraphed

Terrible Days For Women

New York, Jan. l5.-Miss Condit-
Smith, who was one OF the women i'm
prisoned in the British Legation 10
Pekin during the terrible days of last
summer, is to publish an account OF
the siege. The New York Jonrnal
prints a S .nopsis Of the thrilling story
a part of which is as follows:
1--WE grew to be horribly expert in
pistol practice. Every woman 10 the
legation was provided with a pistol
and the vital spots where we'll d.
rected bullet would kill instantly were
pointed out to her. For hours every
day We practiced target shooting and
most horrible Of all, firing blank cart
ridges at ourselves in order to steady
our nerves and accustom US to the use
and sound of pistol in such near
proximity, for our instructions were
most rigid.
"At sight of the first Boxer scaling
the wall or forcing the gates OF the
legation we were to place the muzzle
of the pistol in the mouth and blow
off the head. Should any woman's
courage fail her the men OF the lega-
tion down to the lowliest were solemn
ly pledged to instantly shoot the
women until not one should be left
alive, when the B xers took possession
of the place.
"For days and nights tugether not
soul in the legation dared to sleep,
but stood ready at any moment to use
the pistols in their hands, which tired
as they were, never once relaxed theil
hold upon the weapon of death. On
one never to be forgotten occasion we
were lined up with the men i a solid
line 10 front of us, for it was moment
arily expected that tine Boxers woull
gain possession. "
