Former Tcstifies in Boston Gas Com
 soifdation Case.
 Boston, March 25.--As witness in |the Boston gas consolidation cas ehere to-day, Thomas w. Lawson, told of his connection with gas matters in this city, his testimony excited much inter- est. In many respects his statements differed from those made by previous witnesses in the trial now in progress, and he 1atly contradicted evidence given by H. H. Rogers of New York and Robert Winsor of the firm of Kid- der, Peabody X Co. of Boston, concern ing payments said to have been made to MT. Lawson in connection with the consolidation. MT. Lawson stated that he had received large sums of money from MT. Rogers, not on account of gas transactions. but on account of copper investments.
 MT. Lawson told of a proposition made to MT. Rogersswhereby MT. Law son was to receive $1,OO0,0OO in connec- tion with the gas combination, and his ultimate decision to accept 10 per cent of the profits. He also described in de- tail how, as he said, J, Edward Addicks of the Bay State Gas company of Della ware "tricked' him out of the control of that company.
 During the afternoon MT. Lawson S examination was suspended in order that the testimony of Alvin w. Krech, former vice president of the Mercantile Trust company of New York might be admitted.
 Just before adjournment Mir. Lawson again resumed the stand and reviewed more in detail some of his earlier tes- timony.

 We have only to-day received an or- der from Judge Holt enabling us to sell cotton held by the Guarantee Trust company and the Corn Exchange bank. In Judge Holt's first order, appointing us receivers, he ordered that he couldn't sell cotton but the subsequent order to- day enables us to sell it.
 It was stated that the Guarantee Trust company has already sold about 10000 bales. After this cotton was sold notice was sent to the receivers and not before, said MT. Taft

 New Chwang, March 25.-The Liao river became navigable 1D-day and shipping agents have received notices of the departure of vessels from ports along the entire coast of China for New Chwang. The Russian military author ities have issued an order regulating shipping at this port. The order pro- vides that all incoming vessels must anchor five and one-half miles below the fort and can proceed into the harbor only between the hours of a. m. and 6 p. m. after undergoing an examina- tion of papers and cargo. The mer- chants here are protesting against the order in the hope that ships will be permitted to anchor within two miles of the foreign settlement before submit ting to an examination by the authori- ties. Although further compromising the rights of neutrals the surveillance of all ships passing by the fortifica- tions is considered by the authorities to be necessary military precaution.

 Washington, March 25.-The navy de- partment was to-day informed by Ad- miral Cooper, commanding the Asiatio station to whom was left the question of protecting American interests at New Chwang that he has decided that the conditions there do not warrant him in detaining the gunboat Helena at New Chwang. If the town is attacked by the Jananese navy, the Helena would be in the line of fire and no neutral ship has a right to remain there if she can get away. The navy department has cabled him to withdraw the ship and she probably will leave for Shang- hai and later for Manila within the present week if the ice continues to soften as rapidly as reported.
