A SUIT AGAINST SHIP-BROKERS.
The United States Trying to Recover $26,-
‘ 500 in London.
London, Jan. 26.--In the queen's
bench division of the high court of
justice yesterday the trial began of
the United States against Pelley Broth-
ers, ship brokers, for the recovery of
5,300 pounds paid them on April 21.
1898, part payment for two GOO-ton col-
liers.
This was made by Lieutenant Sims,
then actmg naval attache of the Uni-
:ted States embassy here.
Lieutenant Sims testified that the
ship brokers signed :1 contiact, at mid-
mght, on April 21, to deliver the col-
liers for 53,0'00 pounds. He added that
the contract stipulated that they Were
to be delivered as soon as possible, and
said the ship brokers promised ver~
bally that one of them was ready to
sail in twenty— four hours and the other
in forty- eight hours.
The lieutenant gave the brokers a
check for 5, 300 pounds at midnight, but
they failed to deliver the ships before
the neutrality proclamation of April
26, and claimed that they were unable
to get the colliers ready in time. .
Continuing, Lieutenant Sims said the
check beat the records in going through
the clearing house, as the brokers se-
cured ihe money at noon on the mor-
row, intimating that they cashed the
check, expecting war, and that they
did not intend to deliver the colliers.
Lieutenant Sims further testified that
the colliers were to have joined the
United States fleet at Key West.
Expert ship men testified that the
colliers could have been made ready
to sail in the promised time.
The defence will belthat the brokers
were unable to fit out the ships before
war was declared.
THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT.
Souvenir Half-dollars to be Asked for
from the Government.
Chicago, Jan. 26.--The Tribune said
yesterday that the Lafayettememoriul
commission will ask Congress to have
its monument appropriation in the
form of one hundred thousand souve-
nir half-dollar pieces. The members
of the commission say that the com-
paratively small amount to be minted
and the international importance of the
occasion will give these coins a value
which, with the money to come from
other sources, will give-the commis—
sion one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, the sum fixed on as necessary
to secure a suitable monument.
The treasurer of the commission,
Comptroller Dawes, already has on
hand nearly fifty thousand dollars
from the subscriptions of the school
children and more is expected from
this source.
Last week another project was start—
ed from which good results are antici~
pated. It was in the shape of circular
letters, addressed to all, the postmas-
ters of the country, in which they were
asked to use their influence to arrange
entertainments in thei1 cities or neigh-
borhoods, the net receipts to go to the
memorial fund.
As there are more than seventy- three
thousand postmasters, it is thought
that thirty thousand dollars will be
secured in this way.
thousand dollars.
Trouble Feared from Soldiers.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 26.--A large pro-
portion of the members of four bat—
teries of the Sixth United States Ar-
tillery, stationed at Fort Monroe ,are
being discharged.
This is due to a flaw in their enlist-
ments, which prohibits fulther sei-
vice. c
All of these men were enlisted be~
tween .April and October, 1898. The
men are from Pennsylvania. -,Batteries
1", H, I and K lose about seventy men
each.
A. dispatch from Phoehus says that
the police are ahticipating trouble
from the discharged men, who, it is
said, will renew the fight of last sum-
mer with the saloon keepers, and who,
it is alleged, threatened to burn the
place.
A force of well aimed men are on
duty at Phoebus and are plepared for
a fight. The‘ riotous Sixth Virginia
(colored) regiment is to be mustered
out, and two local companies of the
regiment arrived here on Friday.
Russian View of . Alliances.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.--The Narod.
in an article criticising the recent anti-
Russian speeches of Lord Charles Be-
resford, says it anticipates no results
in the direction of obtaining British ai—
liances with Germany and the United
States, and declares that England
would do better to look toward Russia
for such a relation.
England and Japan being the keen-
est commercial competitors of Germ-
any and the United States, have no
cause for enmity toward Russia.
Therefore, the paper says, the chi-
mera of an Anglo-American alliance
against Russia may be heiegated to
the realm of unfulfilled wishes.
International College Chess.
London, Jan. 26.--Mr. Tattersail,
president of the Cambridge University
Chess Club, said yesterday that Cam-
bridge would accept the challenge for-
a cable chess match on six boards, 15-.
sued 011 behalf of the American uni-I
versity chess clubs, comprising Colum-
bia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
He suggested that the match he
played at the end of March. Sir Geo.
Newnes, president of the British Chess
Club of London, hasinvited the British
university, clubs to play the British
end of the match in the rooms of the,
British Chess Club and at his expense.
No reply has as yet been received from
the Oxford Club.
The Dady Contract.
Havana, Jan. 26.--The1'e is much dis-
appointment among the Danish resi-
dents bccause of the sewer contract of
Michael J. Dady of Brooklyn was not
approved by the United States govern-
ment.
For an Admiral of the Navy. ,
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 26.--In tlm'
_ Senate yesterday Mr. Chandler of New
Hampshire introduced a bill tempo-
rarily creating-the-offlce of admiral, of
the navy. It was referred to the inaval
affairs committee.
