linghast and Douglas today heard the
petition OF defendants in the case of Luke
Mcnamara VS.. Edward McCabe & Son
for n new trial This Is an action for
work done and material furnished for
the remodellng OF an old mansion at the
corner OF Broadway and VintQn street
A jury gave the plaintiff verdict for
$4,000.
Though the defendant filed six objec-
tions TO the action of the common pleas
division. but at the hearing only three
objections were argued These WERE
first, that the verdict is against the law
and the evidence and the weight thereof
that the verdict OF the Jury upon the
special finding submitted 10 them Is con-
trary to the evidence adduced upon the
matters involved in said special finding
and the weight thereof. and that the
damages awarded In said case are con-
trary to the evidence and are excessive
and unjust.
II is urged by the defendant that the
plaintiff agreed. as set out In his speci-
ficatlons, 10 do the work for s2650 and
that the charge for extras Is far too
large. Defendant had experts at the trial
whose figures for the work ran from
siS7s.53 TO 1914 and that no such balance
as claimed by plaintifr was due him.

RUSS|A'S
;OTE WILL
PAC|Fy.

Berlin, Jan. 25--As the German govern
ment understands the present situation
the feeling Is such at Toxic that Japan
will declare war unless Russia answers
her demands favorably.
Russia recognizes this and accordingly
intends TO accept enough OF Japan's points

sufficient cause for war no longer exists
and while the forthcoming note will not
entirely satisfy Japan IL will prevent the
serious possibility OF declaration OF war.
CONSIDERABLE TENSION.
Paris, Jan M-Considerable tension Is
again observable In governmental quar-
ters concerning the Russo-Japanese sit
uation due principally to the fact that the
efforts toward Pacific adjustment have
not made progress expected.
The general view OF those highest I'm
authority are that the negotiations are
virtually at a standstill.
1t Is said that every stage OF the pres
ent exchanges develops Japap's suspicion
Of Russia's good faith and Russia's anti
pathy TO japan. Owing 10 this bitterness
diplomatic efforts are proving unusually
difficult. IL L. understood that Russia
Is now seeking to secure the neutraliza-
ton of the strait OF Corea.
The Russian view, as made known here,
is that Jspan's fortilcations at Mas
ampho and Fusan constitutes a menace
to the worlds commerce. as IL gives
japan a control over the narrow straight.
1t is pointed out in support o. this view
that Japan already has strongly for:'-
field island Crsu Shma) in the middle OF
the strait. and that this Is distant %
miles from Fusan and Masampho, go that
the fortification of the latter places will
constitute modern Gibraltar
The strait is claimed to ne vital outlet
for the commerce of northern China. A
report that the French consul at Chee
Foo, China, has transmitted 10 the repre-
sentatlves OF the Powers Corea's declara-
tion TO remain neutral is not confirmed ct
the foreign Office. which is not aware OF
any action of this character being taken
or being contemplated.
