quence of this, that the subcommittee

are expected. The whiskyiburned was valued

BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Dec. S.-The
situation among the striking hatters at
South NOrwalk is UNCHANGED. Crowds OF

prOprietOrs of two shops. and with the
assistance of five policemen started for
the shops. They were followed by about
800 men belonging to the union, but We're
unmolested, though there were many
noisy demonstrations.
The proprietOrs of all the shops in the
city remain firm in their resolution to adj
here to the reduced prices and declare
that henceforth no union man, as such,
shall again enter their shops. Crowds of
striking hatters still hang around
the South NOrwalk depot watching
all the incoming trains from New York.
They form themselves in lines on each
side of the track to spot hatters from
abroad. Of the men who arrived today
all but one have returned home. 1t was
expected that large number would az
rive to-day. Several started from New
York, but after purchasing tickets at the
Grand Central Depot they were inter-
viewed by union pickets and backed out.
The strikers are peaceable, but deter
mined to hold out. No violence is antici-
pated by either the strikers or outsiders.

GBSl1S on Ine hOVaS.
PARIS, Dec. S.-The report of the de-
positions before the Madagascar Commits
sion was submitted to the Chamber of
Deputies to-day. Admiral Galiber, for
long time French commander in NADIA
gascar, in his deposition said that Eng
land had tried 10 bring about an under
standing between France and the Hovas,
but failed because the English residents
in Madagascar, who were Independent
MethOdists, refused to be influenced even
by England, being permeated with
the traditional English hatred of
France. The HoVas, he said,
would accept French prOtectOrate were
it not for English influence. Ten thou
sand men, in his opinion, would suffice
for an expedition to AntananarivO, the
capital, but he did not counsel an expe-
ditiOn. The bad faith of the Hovas, he
said, had rendered negotiations with them
out of the question. The policy he ap-
proved was to occupy important points
on the coast with French troops, and so
convince the HOvas that the French were
resolved to uphold their rights. If the
HOvas saw that they would probably

SIGNS OF A RATE PEACE.

The Western Railroad Rivals of New
York Tired of Suicidal Warfare
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Under the lead of
the New York Central Railroad Company
the railroads began the issue of continu-
Gus trip tickets only to the West. This is
in one sense a blow aimed at the ticket
brokers, as it prevents the scalping pro-
cess by not allowing passengers to stop
over and obtain a rebate. In another
way it is thought to indicate possibility
of an agreement between the different
roads, ultimately leading to the restora-
tiOn of rates to a paying basis. Tickets
to Buffalo cannot be purchased now for
less than 81 40 anywhere.

impossible. The Federal Government
