Company Increased 10 $500
This Morning

Argument was heard before Judge
Bradford in the United States Court
this morning on a motion made by
Willard Salisbury, representing the
American Lighting ompany, for the
discharge Of the restraining order in

Gaslight Company, Of Philadelphia,
VS.. the American Lighting Company
Associated with Mr. Salisbury in
the case We're Harvey S. Knight, Of
Washington. and William B. Greeley,
Of New York. expert patent attorneys.
Andrew c. Gray appeared for the com
plainant
Mr.. Salisbury asked that the re-
straining ORDER be dismissed. on the
ground that the bill of complaint did
not show the plaintiff to have an equi-
table interest therein. and upon the va
lidity OF the patent as well as the pub
lie inconvenience. The affidavits were
filed yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Gray said he had not yet had
time to make a reply and asked that
he be given until Monday.
Mr.. Salisbury objected to this. saying
his company was suffering $lS2.35 dam
ages q day by the lights being out He
held the loss TO the complainant. If
any would not be more than Ga cents
a day. II a restraining order was
granted he held his company's loss
would be S2O0OO0 while If it went
against the Globe Company the loss
would not be more than 5000.
Mr.. Knight quoted authorities in
support Of his contention that the re-
|straining order should not have been
granted. inasmuch that the validity OF
the patent had not been shown. Judge
Bradford refused to dissolve the re-
|straining order.
Mr.. Salisbury then asked for a final
hearing on the rule on Wednesday. He
estimated that the total loss for ten
DAYS would be $2,S30.50. Mr.. Sauls-
bury asked that the bond given by the
Globe ompany be increased TO $4,000.

LICENSE Law
IN ENFORCED
Works HardShipS on Huck-
SiCTS and Poor People
Men Who Sell Fish aud Truck Re-
Quired to Buy Two Licenses or
be Arrested

The enforcement of no law has given
more dissatisfaction than that regard
ing peddlers and venders of produce
and fish.
Several arrests have been made re-
Gently. and has entailed great hard
ship on those arrested, as we'll as the
poor of the city, who have been in the
habit of buying from hucksters.
Until the recent crusade started by
Assistant Solicitor Garrett, hucksters
who sold produce vended fish on GER
tain days in the week. 1t was taken
for granted by the hawkers that the
hucksters' license allowed them to sell
fish. Mr.. Garrett thought otherwise,
and now all men who sell fish, oysters
or CLAIMS in the street are arrested. un-
less they take out a peddlers license.
This does not specify that they can
sell fish only, but is the same as is is
sued to men who carry a pack or sell
household goods from a wagon. A man
armed with a license of this kind can
sell almost anything but farm produce.
Several hucksters who have been ar
rested say they cannot pay the two IL
censes and make a living. The annudl
license for selling. a peddler's license,
the kind fish men must obtain, is $50.
In the City Court this morning
Mayor Fisher. Harry Clayton. colored
and Joseph Hammond were charged
with peddling without a license. j.
Frank Ball represented Fisher and
Clayton, and their cases were post
poned until Wednesday morning Ham
mond was granted a continuance until
the same time.

almost past, and believe his majesty's
recol er to be entirely probable.
Liverpool was illuminated last night
in recognition of the good news.
Electric fans are being utilized to
keep the kings apartment at a suitable
temperature. The heat in London at
present is oppressive.
Reynolds weekly newspaper which
all along has been extraordinarily ac-
curate with reference to the kings
condition. in yesterdays issue gave the
following history of his majesty's dis
ease:
"Since June last year there have
been no fewer than three operations
performed upon the king for malig
nant affection of the larynx. Daily
sprayings have taken place, and the
king has practically ceased smoking
Two physicians have been constantly
in attendance since June 1. this year
They became seriously alarmed on
June 8. Severe abdominal pains were
experienced. The doctors then said
it was lumbago."
Reynolds then criticises the minis
ters for concealing the truth and
hoaxing the public and allowing specu-
lators to make fabulous sums from the
deceived people. The paper con-
tinues: "The king was dosed with
opium. 1t was reported to him that if
he would absent himself from Ascot
and one or two functions he would be
all right His majesty was willing to
do anything rather than postpone ths
coronation and cheerfully acquiesced
In listening to his advisers the king
nearly killed himself
"But at the present juncture his
condition cannot be exaggerated. He
is well advanced in years. He is suf
fering from throat and kidney dis
eases, as well as appendicitis. The
chances for a relapse are very great,
as it is a mooted question if all the
pus has been removed. It is felt that
if a second operation is found to be
necessary. the king must die"

CRACKSMEN FOUR IN NUMBER

Word comes from Newport that an
attempt was made last night TO rob
the National Bank there.
The burglars. four in number, drove
to a point close TO the bank about II
o'clock, and hitching, proceeded to the
building. They first tried to force a
rear window of the building, but not
meeting with success, they directed
their attention to a front window.
Their presence was noticed by several
persons who passed that way. and
scared them away. IT is said the
strangers drove in the direction OF
Newark.
The Newport authorities are in
clined to the belief that the men who
attempted to force an entrance into the
bank were the same persons who open
ed a rear shutter in the home of John
Kirk. A member Of the family was
awakened by the noise and looking out
the window saw two men disappear in
the darkness.
AS burglars have been busy in that
neighborhood Of late, many residents
of Newport are sleeping with firearms

AGUINALDO WAS
ApThB THE LOOT
Willy Filipino Entered Manila
for That Purpose
Dewey Declares That Within Forty
eight Hours Of Ills Arrival He
Began RObbiHg

Washington, June 2S.-Admiral
Dewey, before the senate committee
on the Philippines yesterday gave IL
as his opinion that Aguinaldo went to
Manila for the sole purpose of gain
for loot and money"
He declared later that within 4s
hours after his arrival there Aguinal-
do began robbing right and left, taking
rice. stores and provisions from any
body who had them, the Americans in
cluded. These statements stirred up
the Democrats considerably. and led
to a lively passage between the ad-
miral and Senator Carmack.
Mr. Patterson attempted TO secure
the admission from Admiral Dewey
that Aguinaldo had issued a procla-
nation declaring for independence be-
fore the American fleet left Hong
Kong. and that he had been aiming
for independence from the first The
admiral said he knew of no such
proposition. and continued:
1T would have been simply impossi-
BILE for him to circulate it in the Phil
ippines until after the destruction of
the Spanish fleet. We captured a
hand printing press at Cavite, and |
gave it to Aguinaldo. He may have
used that press for the printing of cir
culars, but the only proclamation of
which have any knowledge was that
of July Is, of which he sent me a
copy"
Mr.. Patterson referred to the ship
ment of arms to the Filipinos from
Hong Kong, arguing that the pur
chase of these guns must have been
made before the departure of Aguinal
do for Manila, and il was evidence of
his intention to fight for independence
The admiral declined to express an
opinion.
Admiral Dewey further said he had
forwarded the proclamations of Agui
naldo to Washington without reading
them. "The days and nights were not
long enough for my work at that
time" said the admiral. "Since you
have asked my opinion" said he in
answer to a question. Il will say l be
lieve Aguinaldo was there for gain
for loot, for money. and that independ
ence never entered into his head"
Senator Carmack asked him why
he furnished such a man with arms
and helped to organize his army, tC
which the admiral replied that "all
was fair in war" and that there were
no American troops in the islands &c
oppose the spaniards. When he as
sailed Aguinaldo. he did not call him
a robber or a plunderer. but Il say
think he was there for loot and
money" he continued
do you think he was there fol
anything else?" the admiral asked
turning to Senator Carmack.
81 do" responded the senator.
well, l swear. don't" said the ad
miral. emphatically.
Answering several questions. the
admiral said he thought he knew Agui
naldo better than General Otis, Gen
eral Bell or any other officer, as he
saw more Of him. The inquiry ended
rather abruptly, when Senator Car
mack asked: you don't know of s
single dishonest act on the part oi
Aguinaldo. yet you regard him as 9
thief?"
Admiral Dewey arose and said: q
think shall not answer that question,
and, taking his hat and bowling, he
left the room.

London, June 2S.-"It's the best
yet, was the popular comment with
which the bulletin posted at Bucking-
ham Palace at IL o'clock last night
was greeted. A small crowd waited
before the palace until the bulletin
was brought out, and when the good
news became known there were cries
of Hear, hear" and chorus. Lord
Churchill, the acting lord chamberlain,
drove up to the palace just as the bull
letin was issued, and he expressed his
keen pleasure at the doctors report Of
the kings condition. After learning
the contents of the bulletin, the crowd
at the palace quietly dispersed, and
the rejoicing which was already ap.
parent in the crowded streets, in.
creased in keeping with the terms Of
the latest report. The IL o'clock bul-
letin was as follows:
His majesty's condition is in all
respects satisfactory. The king has
had comfortable day, and has made
substantial Improvement.
"TREVES,
Taking,
BARLOW"
The Prince and Princess of Wales
dined at Buckingham Palace last
night in company with several foreign
royal personages. All the diners re
turned early to their homes.
The bulletin issued by King Ed
wards physicians at ] o'clock this
morning said his majesty's improve
ment was maintained.
The Daily Mail this morning says
that all King Edwards functions are
working admirably. The drainage
pipe has not yet been removed, says
the paper, but the kings general pro
gress is very sure and steady. His
diet already includes soup, fish and
baked apples It is probable that next

will be diminished. 1T has been in
