MUNICIPAL COURT.
Mrs. fIdler's Petition for Guardlan Still
Before Judge Splnk.

The Remington family differences were
further aired in the Municipal court of
tho city OF Providence this morning
where the petition of Mr.. Fidler for a
guardian for her mother Mrs. Hannah
Remington was being considered by
Judge Sphinx. The son of Mrs. Fidler,
Harold Remington, who was adopted by
the grandmother on the death Of his
father, was on the stand today.
He explained various transactions re-
garding the estate which he knew OF in
response TO the questioning of Mrs. REM
ington's attorney, A A. Baker.
Under the cross examination by Mr
Mcdonald, Mr.. Remington said that he
took quit claim deeds OF some property
from his grandmother, but that he did
not influence her and that on the con-
trary she had appealed TO him TO help
her In relation TO a mortgage OF $500
on the Chestnut street property he saGd
part went 10 erect building on vacant
lot that was bringing no income and
said he had advised her to do this as ne
thought 1t policy.
He said he received 5000 for himself
out of It. which he used in paying bills
contracted for advertising In connection
with his business. ONE OF the rest Of the
money went on the various outstanding
bills against the estate.
When asked about the times that he
had asked his grandmother for money and
she had refused on the grounds that she
could not spare IL, II he had not been
rude and almost rough in his answers.
Il remember Of her refusing 10 give me
money but although /, may have been
saucy / do not think I was rough and
was ready TO acknowledge IL and TO make
up"
When asked II he had not asked for
money before the servant. Mary Griffin,
and others and had been rude. he said
he very likely had asked before them and
others. 1t was not a thing there was
any secret about but he did not know
what was meant by rudeness.
The hearing was adjourned just before
o'clock TO commence at $3.50.

HORSESHOERS' STRIKE.
Little Change In the Situation Today
Some kon-UnIOn Men atWrrk.

The situation in the horseshoers' strike
has changed but little since yesterday,
except TO show that the journeymen are
willing and anxious TO have the dispute
settled Several non-union men are at
work In shops in the city, but not suf-
ficient number to indicate any great sue
cess of the masters in their effort TO
freeze the journeymen out
A committee of the strikers hac been at
work including those now at work to join
with them today and succeeded in cutting
down the number OF non-union men. AS
was said In yesterdays issue the men are
striking for fair wages and hours but
want TO be- assured that the standard OF
wages and hours set will be maintained
and not set aside after working a week
or two. To do this they ask the masters
10 signify their agreement TO the propos-
ed scale by signing their names TO
draft of the same.
This the masters refuse to do and they
also refuse TO arbitrate the matter so far.
Mr. Gallagher the treasurer OF the union
is devoting the whole day TO canvass OF
the association TO see II he cannot induce
the members to come 10 n definite under
standing or refer the whole subject TO
committee. A report of the results OF his
efforts will be given the union tonight
The temper OF the masters association
may be seen by the fact that this morn
ing, not being able TO get work done In
this city TO any extent they sent 10 Paw
tucket TO have some horses toed and
heeled When tho workmen there found
what the work they were set doing pur-
ported all with common consent refused

The decline in prices OF securities is not
the result OF any corresponding declines
in real values. The railroads. for In
stance, have been increasing their earn
ings all the time the prices of their Sc
curities have been falling off.
During the time when there has been
so much talk about unfavorable money
conditions trade and industry have con-
tinued very active.
Throughout the West there is very lit
tie apprehension regarding the crops, and
the feeling regarding the general busi-
ness is particularly optimistic.
The condition of the crops has improved
immensely in the last fortnight. and re-
ports for example, along the lines OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul show
that during this time weather conditions
have been all that were desired. Officers
OF the road contend that IL this weather
continues there will be more grain TO haul
than ever before. The anxiety so gen
orally manifested two weeks ago regard
ing corn has entirely disappeared. The
crop has gained much of its former back
wardness. and this is gradually wiping
out all fears OF damage from frost In the
fall.
There has been n marked gain in the

PRESIDENT NOT SURPRISED.
oyster Bay. N Y. July 17.-President
Roosevelt was not surprised that the
Russian government should decline TO re-
ceive the B'nai Birth petition regarding
the Kishinef massacres. The action OF
Russia has been forecasted unofficially.
The information OF Russia's declination
was received here last night by n tele-
gram 20 Secretary Hay.
The telegram was sent Immediately by
special messenger 10 the president at
Sycamore hill Toward midnight the
president sent 10 Secretary Hay AN ex-
tended reply The contents OF neither OF
the messages are disclosed although II is
known that the president directed Secre-
tary Hay 10 make public the action OF
this government respecting the incident
President Roosevelt has no statement
TO make at this time regarding the mat
ter. Whatever information the adminis-
tration may care to make public will be
given out by the state department in
Washington. II can be said 10 be abso-
lutely unlikely that further efforts will be
made 10 induce the Russian government
TO receive the petition.
II is certain that after so frank and
unequvocnl refusal 10 receive the petit
tion Russia would regard the bringing OF
pressure to bear upon her TO induce her
acceptance OF the petition as an act Of
distinct unfriendliness
As the actual presentation OF the petit
tion involved no question OF the principle
and substantially the result hoped for
concerning the Kishneff outrages has
been achieved by calling Russia's atten-
ton to the petition, the probabilities are
that the incident will be considered as
closed.
