THE MITCHELL CASE.
Massachusetts Attorney Looking Up
 Facts in Case.

An attorney representing the state Of Massachusetts came to town to-day to make inquiries regarding James Mitchell, who is detained at police headquarters in Grafton for the mur- der of Mrs Linnie Rankin. This law yer will assist in the prosecution of Mitchell and he desires to become ac- quainted with the history of the case. To do that he found it expedient to visit Mitchells friends and relatives m this city. He will call upon Mrs Rankin's parents, MT and Mrs How ard Murgatroyd, living at 27 Vine street. opposite the Mitchells, some of whom live here and some in New Brit ain, and also upon the Rankins who live on Cherry street.
 Mitchell, he said, is totally blind. and talks freely of his relations with the murdered woman. So far he has not expressed regret for his action or mas he admitted it. The state, how ever, has found one eye witness to the murder. Mitchell's trial may not take place until early in the coming winter.

CAR STRUCK HORSE.
Farmers Along New Line Should Fix
 Their Fences.

Owners of horses along the route of the Cheshire trolley had better fix their fences or invest few dollars in animal tethers unless they set no val ue on their live stock and don't care what happens handsome colts, nice cows and other animals that when not otherwise occupied spend most of their time in the lots. Already one horse has been crushed, to death on that line and another came near shar- ing similar fate yesterday near Sum- init. The car was speeding along when horse on the roadside pricked up It's ears, looked at the approaching object, snorted contemptuously and then made bound towards the opposite side of the street. The car was travellng faster than the animal thought-prob- ably it didn't give the matter a mo- ment's cOnSideration-and got there just in time to take the affrighted steed in the side. The animal turned a somersault and then jumped up and tried to chamber up steep embank- ment, but failed and rolled down. The car stopped and one of the passengers looked at the animals wounds and pronounced them not of serious na- tura

1, dent occurred just before they left which may or may not be significant. MT Peirce, the assistant secretary Of state, was hastily telephOned for and came to the hotel at 9:2O. He was with M. Witte for twenty-five minutes. Then they left. Mir Peirce dismissed the visit with the explanation that 1t was only to make arrangement about the trip of M. Witte and Baron Rosen. But twenty-five minutes are long time and there is a suspicion that M. Witte delivered to Mir Peirce com munication for the president. There is report which cannot be absolutely confirmed that late last night Baron Komura and Mir Takahira were at the navy yard. If this is true it is possi- ble the president had some communi- cation with them after hearing from Mir Meyer.
 It seems that the so-called protocols signed at yesterdays sessions of the peace conference were not in fact pro tocols at all in the proper sense of the word. They were simply what in diplomacy are called the process yer bal," or minutes of the meetings. In Russian they are called protocols" !" and as the Russian secretary made the announcement the word employed led to misunderstanding AS the con ference had on seven different days when seven of the protocols had been signed, four yesterday and three pre- yiously, the hasty conclusion was drawn that he meant the protocols of seven articles only had been signed.

SENATOR IMPLICATED
Chicksaw School Warrant Cases
 Being Unearthed.

Washington. Aug. 24-The Post to. day says that the officials of the de partments of justice and of the in- terior who have been Investigating the Chicksaw school warrant cases last night made public portions of the records which have been unearthetl, as are alleged to duplicate Senator !. K. Burton of Kansas, with presenting these claims before the government while holding the position of senator in contravention of law. The Post adds:
 "Th all twenty-six Chicksaw war rants aggregating $100O0 have been paid to Senator or his brother v. l.. Burton with whom he is alleged 10 have formed partnership since March 1901. when Senator Burton took the oath of office. Six of the Chicksaw warrants issued in October. 1901. and aggregating 5000 were paid. directly to ]. k. Burton. This was seven months after Senator Bur ton had taken the oath of office. Twenty warrants aggregating about 5000 were subsequently made ont in favor of 7. T. Burton. It is al- Iegei that the services for which thes'l warrants were made out in payment was for pressing the Chicksaw claiIas before the government It IS also contended that z. T. Burton never appeared before the department of interior and never practiccd law in the Indian Territory. but that his name was used as blind by the Kan sas senator.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Third Round of Singles Bsian
 To-Day.

Newport, R. l., Aug 24.-Having sue. cessfully cleared away seyenty-three matches ill two rounds of singles, and the two matches in doubles in the na- tional tennis championships at the Casino, the committee in charge of the event found their task to-day of com pleting the third round of singles of sixteen matches comparatively easy one. There was some difficulty, how ever, in picking out good match for the exhibition court.
 The retirement late yesterday after noon of F. E. Alexander of New York removed from the tournament one of the strongest aspirants for semi-final honors, if not for the finals, and left only Hobart and Collins as probable winners in the upper half of the draw.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS VIEWS.

Berlin, Aug 24.-Emperor William, the Associated Press is informed, has expressed to the members of hls en- tourage his cordial recognition of Pres ident Roosevelt's efforts for peace and his hope that they will prove success full Precisely what the president is doing seems to be understood to the German government, but the post ponement to Saturday of the confer ence. is regarded as indicating that both belligerents desire to prolong the negotiations and that each is seeking for fresh grounds for agreement.
 All Russian shares were higher on the B0urse to-day, bonds advancing three-tenths of point, Russian bank stock 1A, and Warsaw X Vienna rall- road stock Az. ..
 Both governments are putting out news paragraphs designed, seemingly, to strengthen their diplomacy. The Krupps, contrary to their usual meth od, but doubtless in accordance with the desire of the Japanese government, announced the receipt of m urgent re- quest yesterday to hurry Japanese or ders for armor plates and guns cost ing $11.250,OO0, while the Russian gov ernment has issued an authoritative statement that 1t will never pay ko- peck for indemnity.

THE GOOD
 FLEETWOOD
It's The Popular Favorits
 Everywhere.

On all sides you can hear the praise or the Glenwood Range and well you might, for the Glenwood Is the one stove that housekeepers like all the time. Glenwoods don't cost any more than any other kind since the Hamp- son-Sellew store took the agency. Therefore the Glenwood is the stove to buy. There is at very conserva- tive estimate between two and three thousand Glenwoods used in Water. bury. which is a strong testimonial to the popularity of 1t. Glenwoods can be bought at the Hampson-S Sellew store as low as S25.O0 and the grades run in gradual advance up to s6O.0O. The Glenwoods ranging in price from $500 to S45.00 are extremely popu- lar and are from five. to ten dollars less than the same grades used to be sold for before the Hampson-Sellew Furniture company put them on sale. Be sure to get Glenwood and you will be pleased now and in years and years to come.

 Young Daughter.
 Philadelphia, Aug 24.-The Rev Charles T. Pfeiffer of Cairo, N. Y., rector of the Church of the House of Prayer at Branchtown, and Miss Alice A. Hall of Germantown were married yesterday morning by the Rev John Matthews at the Church of the Annun- citation. The bride is not b years old, while the bridegroom is more than twice her age. The bride was given away by her father, J. Barclay Hall, who is president of the Peerless Paper Manufacturing Co.
 Miss Hall was visibly agitated, her hand moving cOnvulsively as the crowd of strangers gazed at her like some strange thing on exhibition. Af- ter the ceremony the bride and bride groom held an informal reception in the study of Father O'Dell and then departed on their honeymoon tour.
 Mir Pfeiffer until two years ago was assistant rector of the fashionable St Luke's church, Germantown, of which the Rev Dr Samuel Upjohn is rector.

CHINESE
 BOYCOTT.
SixResOlutions Pass.
 ed the EdiCt.
Threats Being Made Against Chinese Who Do Not Obey the Orders to Boycott.

I Yokohama, Aug. 8, via San Fran
 cisco, Aug. 24-The anti American
 Chinese boycott as Geographically re.
 ported, has reached Yokohama. The
 first indication of it's presence was on
 July 26 when local Chinese refused
 to give any freight to the steamer
 Manchur1a due to leave Hong Kong
 on the 2Sth. The reason stated by
 the local Chinese was that no coolies
 at Hong Kong would dare to dis
 charge such cargo. | The movement slowly continued
 until on Sunday, August 6, meeting
 of representative Chinese was held at
 the Chinese Hall of Commerce, Yoko-
 homa, when the proposed boycott was l considered under five heads. These
 were banking, shipping, insurance, | other lines of business and employees. | There was much eloquence from the l organizers of the meeting who talked | of patriotism and the necessity that
 the Chinese residents of Yokohorna,
 a great port, should fall in line with their brethren elsewhere. Finally it was resolved:
 First-Not to deal in American goods.
 SecOnd-Not to ship any goods on American steamers (mOre particularly to Chinese as Chinese relatives would
 be punished).
 Third-That any Chinese merchant doing such business, through another, would be dealt with as if business had been done by him.
 FOurth-NOt to do business with any American banking or insurance company.
 Birthstone indulgence to be grant ed on account of the goods to be ship ped to ports whither none but Amer ican steamers ply.
 Sixth-Any Chinese infringing thei, resolutions to be subject to a heavy fine.
 The matter of Chinese employees leaving their posts was postponed. Some of the compradores present claimed that they were under col. tract to their employers and if the, were to leave it would mean then ruin. To this it was urged that n fund had been established at Shang' hai to provide for such cases, but tho compradors wished for some dOcu mentary assurance of this before the! took action. 1t was agreed to obtain such assurance from Shanghai. There are more Chinese than people of any other foreign nationality in Yokohoma, the latest census giving 7,142 The movement has excited no particular furry here though there Is some talk among certain Americans of retaliating by withdrawing patron age from Chinese tailors who monop- Oize that business, and establishing an American tailor. The boycott. 1t is feared, may injure the shipping companies seriously if it is long main tained.
