drawn into this connection? Formerly we
should have replied in the negative to
this question, but Imperialism has SO
taken root in the mind of the American
nation since the Cuban war that it may
be doubted whether the Washington
cabinet would lose so good an opportunity
of defining it's position in the far East.
Such, at. least. is our view Of the situa-
ton. The formation of third group Of
allies does not in itself constitute a men
ace to the peace of the world; but we
cannot overlook the fact that a policy of
counterpoise to the Anglo Japanese al
lance may not yield the happy results
expected by optimists.

PAVING WEST BROAD.
Street Railway Finished and City
Has BeRun Work.

The Savannah Electric Company has
concluded its work of rectifying the
the alignment of it's tracks on West
Broad street. The tracks were not in
the center of the street, but this fault
has been corrected. The company fin
ished the work as quickly as possible,
when it had begun, in order to clear
the way for the street paving force of
the city, which has been employed and
is now engaged upon its work.
1t is expected that about six weeks
will be required for the completion of
the pavement from Stone street to
Roberts street which is just beyond
the Union Station. The force is now
employed in grading the street. When
the work has been finished, the laying
of brick will be started. Beginning at
Stone street the brick will be laid on
the east side of the street as far south
as Roberts street. That being finished,
the work will be turned back north
ward, and the west side of the street
will be paved to Stone. The space of
200 feet on Roberts street, which is to
be paved at the cost of the Savannah
Electric Company, and Stewart street,

about the station.

completed. the city will begin paving
the street south of the station. as far
as Gwinnett. 1t now seems that the
pavement between Stone and Roberts
streets will be completed at about the
same time that the Union Station is
finished and ready for use.

commended in the Woods & Malone
Case.
The fourth trial Of the case of Mary
E. Loughran, against Watson & Pow
ers, proprietors of the De Soto Hotel,
was begun in the City Court yesterday
before Judge Norwood and jury. The
suit is for the recovery of the value of
jewelry stolen from the plaintiff while
she was a guest OF the hotel.
This was on March 26, 1898, nearly
nine years ago. In the interval of time
that has elapsed there have been three
trials of the case, the first two result
ing in mistrials. and the third in a
verdict for the defendant for 1897,
with interest from the time of the bur-
glary.
Judge Norwood refused to grant a
new trial and the Supreme Court re-
versed him. The decision of the court,
however, found that the defendants
were liable for the value of the jewelry,
and directed that the only issue to be
submitted to the jury should be this
question of value. The Supreme Court
held that the market value of the jew
elry at the time of the theft should be
the basis of recovery, while the verdict
of the jury had been based on evidence
as to what the several articles cost at
the time they were purchased.

which the jury in the case were asked
to give their attention yesterday. The
table in front of the witness stand
looked like jewelers. show case dur

who was endeavoring to estimate the
value of the jewels stolen from her by

sumed this morning, when court con-
