 t. Property. '.

Attorney Guilfoile has brought suit for Mrs Elizabeth Nichols of Middle bury against Arthur W. Smith of Naugatuck, administrator on the es- tate of her son, Ernest Nichols, whose children and widow are also made de fendants. Mrs Nichols lives on farm of forty acres which was paid for by her money. though the title was fin her sons name. This was according to an agreement. In the course of time Ernest got married and started out for himself. He bought place near Bradleyville and six children were born to him there. The deed to the place was fin his own name. Last fall he died and the administrator on his estate appraised his mothers place in Middlebury as part of his estate. On December 2a the probate court granted the administrator an order to sell a part of the Mfddfebury farm. An appeal was taken from that decis- Ion. but was ultimately withdrawn. Mrs Nichols now asks the superior court to give her a clear title to the Middlebury property.

THE DIVORCE LAW.
Congress On Uniform Divorce Sug.
 gests More Stringent Laws.

Washington, Feb 23.-Before finally ndjourning last night the congress on uniform divorce laws for the several states adopted the following resolution which seeks to make more stringent the laws pertaining to the migratory character of divorces:
 Each state should adopt a statute cmbodying the principle contained In the Massachusetts act, which is as fol lows:
 If an inhabiSant of thls common wealth goes into another state or coun- fry to obtain divorce for cause which occurred here While the parties resided here. or for a cause whicn would not authorize divorce by the laws of this commonwealth. a divorce so obtained shall be of no force or ef feet in this commonwealth"
 A resolution was also adopted pro- yiding that fraud or collision in oD- taining or attempting to obtain di- vorces should be made statutory crimes by the criminal code"
 The report of the committee of resolutions on the subject of marriage licenses and ufarriages was covered by 
 s resolution which declared: That while the congress does not regard the consideration of marriage laws as within the purview of the call under which 1t assemblies. 1t desires to ex- press its earnest hope that some suita- bIe effort will be made by some other body to secure uniform marriage laws. and especially q uniform marriage li- cense law: and 1t would respectfully recommend the matter to the c0nsidera- tion of the commissioners on uniform state laws
 It was further recommended that the necessity for annual collection and uubIicsiiOn of statistics on divOrce would greatly assist him in combating the divorce evil At present but eleven states compile such statistiess

FAVORS BOYCOTT
The Former Minister to the United States Talks to An In-
 terviewer.

Pekn, Feb 28.-Wu Ting Fang, for mer Chinese minister to the United States, when interviewed for the first | time on the existing situation Ill China, spoke in support of the boy kntt.
 WV Ting Fang is now living quietly In Pekin, devoting his time to codify- ing the laws Of China, one of the nu perous reforms under way. He suf- Aered for long time from deafness from the effects of the explosion of Hhs bomb near him at the railway sta- tion last September, but has now re- covered. Speaking of present cond1- tions Wu Ting Fang said:
 China is at crisis and is passing through transition stage. Her states men and people feel that China needs reform, but there are great differences of opinion regarding the means. There are several classes of reformers. There are those who speak foreign languages and who have been abroad and who have had experience in both sides of the question.
 They favor sensible and useful re forms, but not. too radical, so as tu make China first able to stand upon her own feet. The number of these sensible reformers is few. am one of them
 "The ruling classes also know that something should be done. but they are at their wits end to know what to do.
 The third class is composed of young students who are too rash. They need training and experience.
 Financial reforms should be car ried out in the first place. but without foreign advice and capital it would be impossible to do so under present coil Mtions. I was working out scieme which had to be abandoned because it was necessary to call on foreign ac vice. The new coinage is a stop-gap
 One thing upon which the majority of Chinese are agreed is that China has been deprived of many rights by concessions and territorial grants and by the way her people have been treat cd by foreigners in China and foreign countries. Many Chinese who have gone abroad to America, Australia and the Philippines, write home complain ing of arbitrary determinations made against tbe Chinese which dare not be attempted against other foreigners. Therefore everyone is angry and hence the boycott of American goods Illus trating the feeling against the unjust exclusion laws. It has spread over all China and is solely in retaliation against unjust discrimination and is not anti-foreign.
 "The Chinese people and officials are on good terms with all foreigners md have no hostile feelings toward them. The Chinese merchants nave the best feeling toward foreign mer- chants. sss--,a-ss-'-------
 "rhe majority of the people in the interior are indifferent to all foreign CTS travelling in the interior, who write that they are. well treated with no signs of hostility against them. These rumors of anti-foreign feeling are not well founded. Sensible men advise boycotters and agitators to he reason able and only to boycott goods and not 10 treat persons unkindlv but to con tinue fheir friendship as before.
 Unfortunately disturbances in sev- eral places are now arising from the boycott, but this is no sign of an out break against foreigners"

MINERS SLAYER Police Think They Have
 a Clue.
 IT IS SIX YEARS
Since John Stinson Disappeared Body Found in Lake Soon After
 and Buried as Pauper Be-
 lieved Missing Man.

San Francisco, Feb 23.-The Ca.' says to-day that local detectives be- lieye they have located the murderer
 of John Stinson, wealthy mining man who disappeared from this city in 1898. At that time the body of an
 unknown man was found floating ill Stowe lake and was buried as pau per. A few months ago it was dfscov- cred that the body found in the lake was that of StinsOn, and also that his deposit box with a local trust com pany was empty, although it was known to have contained large sum of money and other valuables at che time of its owners disappearance. Since then detectives have been at work ferreting out the mystery in con necton with Stinson's death. Nov, the news has been received here that yesterday Mrs Frank w. Sawyer or Boston, niece of Stinson, arrived at her mothers, Mrs Sarah COnnOr of Portland. Me with the news that de tectives hired by her to investigate the death of her uncle had located S75,OOO worth of bonds belonging to Stinson in San Francisco, and are now
 closely watching the man who has ! them in his possession. This man, says Mrs Sawyer. was an old compan- ion of Stinson in the mine and worked
 with him for forty years He be- came suddenly wealthy after uncle's death," she said in an interview last night. "and when we began the inres
 tigation last month this fact gave us clew upon which to work. Soon we
 found startling evidence. This man had in his possession $15,O00 of the bonds which uncle owned. Our detec- lives are watching every move of that man and, his arrest will he accom- plished shortly" "a
 Portland. Me, Feb 23.-Mrs Sarah Connor, who claims to have evidence that her brother, John Stinson, a wealthy miner of San Francisco, was murdered in 1898, claims that the man at the time of his death was believed to have had property valued at be- tween SSOO,OO0 and S1.OOOOOO. The case has been followed closely by Mrs Connor during the past eight years, but 1t was not until few months ago, after the lapse of the seven yeare required by the laws of Californfa for a missing individual to be considered legally dead, that a more rapid and systematic accumulation of evidence was undertaken. .s..
 Robert Foster of this city, Mrs Con- nor reports. who has just returned from San Francisco. brought word that a photograph of the body of n man who had apparently been robbed and, thrown Into the bay in Septem- Der. 1898. had been identified as that of Stinson. Obtaining a court order, Foster opened Stinson's box in safe deposit vault only to find the box emp ty. Before leaving San Francisco, Foster says he turned his evidence over to the San Francisco police. He has been expecting. he says. to he sum- moned back to California by an arrest at any moment. stinson went to California to hunt gold in '49 and made a fortune. Af- rewards he became mining operator and promoter.
