At the New City Hall.

Visitors are not particularly welcome
at the new City building at present,
for the painters are at work on the
finish, and the dust does not mix well
with the varnish. The work of the
carpenters is now practically finished.
But as one man put it, when a big
job like this is all finished there is
still lot more to do. There Will be
a good bit of work after the centen-
NAL, but the building will he near
enough to completion to be used for
the event and when it is dedicated
every one will be able to see just how
it will look when completed.
The carpenters are now all done
with the street floor and the hall. All
the finish is on and under the brushes
of the painters. In the basement, how
ever, they are still at work on odd
jobs. Up in the hall men are at work
putting the chairs in place in the bal
cony and the bulk of the better ones
are in place. 1t is now thought that
the majority of the chairs will be here
on time and that the crowd can be
easily accommodated by adding a few
settees. The carpenters are a. work
on the "gridiron'' for the scenery.
1t is certainly a beautiful building

STATEMENT TOMORROW.
President Will Explain the Giving Of
Cuban Funds.

Washington. June 12.-Soon after the
President reached the White House, to-
day, Senator Plat of Connecticut,
chairman of the committee on Cuban
Relations. called by appointment. The
announcement was made at the White
House that no statement would be
given out, tonight, regarding Gen.
Woods action in giving Cuban funds
for the circulation of literature favor
able to reciprocity legislation, but that
such a statement probably would be
issued tomorrow.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin called
also by appointment, soon after the ar
rival of Senator Platt and the two
senators were in conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt for more than an hour.
At its close neither senator would say
anything as to the nature of their joint
talk with the President. Some question
exists, it is said, as to whether a state
ment will be issued from the White
House concerning Gen. Woods Cuban
reciprocity expenditures, some doubt
existing as to the policy of treating the
matter as of sufficient importance 10
warrant a formal official statement
from the administration. 1t is proba-
BILE, however, that the statement will
be given out. Gen. Wood has not beer
summoned to appear before the investi-
eating committee as yet. The confer
ence discussed the outlook for reci-
procity legislation, in view of the re-
cent developments, but so far as can be
learned there is no change in the presi-
dents position and purposes.

Dana z. Foster for defendants. Miss
Marion Cyr, the plaintiff, claims dam
ages to the amount of $500 from the city
of Watcrville, on account of injuries re-
Ccived by her from fall caused by an
alleged defect in the sidewalk on Wa
ter street in the section of WaterviIle
known as the plains" Miss Cyr car
ries on a millinery business, and claims
she was unable to attend to her work
for two months, and is not yet fully re-
covered from the effects of the fail
Plaintiffs witnesses testified to a steep
drop or decline in the sidewalk at the
end of new concrete walk, claiming
the drop to be from 10 to u inches, and
that the walk was left in the condition
by the street commissioner, and on that
account the city could require no other
notice Of the defect. The defence put
on the city engineer, out of order, just
before adjournment. He testified that
the drop in the walk was seven inches
in five feet. The defence further is that
Miss Cyr's fall was caused by ice or
snow on the walk and therefore the city
is not liable. The court will probably
be asked to allow the jury to view the
premises in the morning. The case,
without doubt. will take all day Friday
