BERLIN IN A BLAZE.
The Capital Brilliantly illuminated I'm
Honor of Bismarck

-
BERLIN, March 31.-The ceremonies at
tending the celebration of the chancellor's
birthday have begun. Numerous deputies
from all parts of the empire have arrived
bringing the congratulations and best wishes
of the people of the various places which
they represent to the chancellor on the at
tainment of the SEVENTEEN year of his age
This afternoon a large number of these dele
gates formally waited on Prince Bismarck
and presented him with addresses The
Prince replied in a speech of considerable
length expressing his heartfelt pleas
ure at the honor shown him. He
spoke in praise of the patriotic
spirit with which the Germans as
people have responded to all calls made up
on them in the interest of the empire and
reviewed at length the events which have en-
blazoned the history of Germany since her
unihcation. "She stands, - said Prince Bis
marck, zone of the foremost of nations, re-
spected by all and feared by not a few This
he continued, els entirely due to the peoples
love of the fatherland and their readiness to
sacrifice every interest to the furtherance
of the nations welfare. t." In conclusion Prince
Bismarck spoke as follows 1.-THE German army
has made and will uphold the might of the
empire long after have passed away. For
the soldiers of Germany no words of mine
can convey enough praise. Their deeds of
valor IN contending with her foes are too
fresh and too well engraven on the minds of
the people to need any mention by me. To
her army much of her greatness
is due and in her troops she placed
her greatest confidence and security. -
The chancellor was deeply moved at times
and tears glistened in his eyes, also in those
of many of his hearers. He was loudly and
enthusiastically applauded during the deliv-
cry of his speech. This evening torchlight
procession in which fully fifty thousand per
sons took part was reviewed from balcony
of the palace by the chancellor, who stood
calmly smoking while his sons stood on either
side holding lamps in such posi-
tions, as to enable the processionists
to plainly see their fathers features.
As the procession passed by the participants
rent the air with wild and enthusiastic cheers
which were heartily joined in5by the crowd
who thronged Inter den Linden and the
streets in the vicinity of the palace. The
capital lis brilliantly illuminated tonight
The windows of all the private houses as well
as public buildings are lighted up, while long
strings of Chinese lanterns are hung across
the streets in many places. The
thoroughfares thronged with people
and altogether the city presents gala ap-
pearance in honor of the author of German
unity

BUSINESS IN CONNECTICUT.
A Slight General Improvement In
Manufacturing.

HARTFORD, Conn, March 31-The month
ends with a slight general improvement in
the manufacturing business of the State
Several of the large corporations continue on
short time, while very many of the smaller
factories hold their own and few on spec
ial classes of work are running full and over
time. The busiest factory in Connecticut
to-day is one at Torrington which is running
many hours overtime and yet is three months
behind its orders for roller skates
However, this is but a temporary
squirt The great carpet works at Thompson
vile, employing over thousand hands, are
closed one or two days each week. The Will
limantic Thread company, employing even
more, is buster than during the winter The
extensive Hayward rubber works at Colches-
ter and the Candee works at New Haven are
shut down until May according to agreement
of the rubber combination and hundreds of
workmen are idle. The Howe sewing machine
factory at Bridgeport, practically idle for
months past, is picking up and expects to
have two hundred men at work by May The
Smithville Manufacturing company at Will
mantle has decided to run out stock as soon
as possible and shut down probably in two
or three weeks. Three hundred hands will
be thrown out. The great brass factories at
Waterbury and the hardware shops at South
ington, Birmingham, ETC., are holding their
own with occasional improvements in orders
and hours. The Hartford factories
are doing fairly well; better in fact
than during the winter. The large
buildings and machinery of the defunct
Wilson Sewing Machine company atWalling-
ford are to be sold by the receiver soon In
New Haven the factories are fairly active ex-
ceptiRg in carriage manufactures, which is
rather quiet at present. In the eastern part
of the State the cotton mills are dull Three
strikes are in progress to-day in the face of
the hard times. The thousand matters at
South Norwalk have been out for many
weeks, but have had quite liberal
aid from the trades associations.
As between the manufacturers and the m en-
it appears to be question of trade unionism
rather than prices. The men it is reported
declare Ghey will go to work on farms and
the women say they will make the terrible
sacrifice of wearing their winter dresses all
summer in preference to yielding the position
they have taken. Business having taken
good start in Belden Bros. silk mill in Rock
vile the hands in the shooting and winding
rooms have struck for restoration of
the wages paid before the cut down last
winter. The forty boys in the galvanizing
department of the New Haven Wire works,
where business is brisk, have struck for an
increase from $1.55 to $1.75 They are of

An Effort to Bring Him to America.
New YORK, March 31.-Wallace Ross to-
day mailed letter to Mr.. Innes, his London
hacker, to challenge Beach, the Australian
oarsman, who recently defeated Hanlan for
the championship of the world to row race
on the Thames at any time that may be most
convenient to Beach. Ross in an interview
says that in his judgment Hanlan has been
breaking up for some time and was not in
condition to contest a race with fresh man
like Beach. In order to induce Beach to row
championship race at New York with
American oarsmen of reputation, R. K. Fox
will offer prize of 5000 and make an al
lowance of $500 to Beach to defray the ex-
penses of his journey from Australia to New
York. If Beach cannot be induced to come
to New York $500 will be paid to the winner
OF the $4,000 prize for the purpose of de-
fraying his expenses to Australia and meet

months decided and strenuous effort has
been made to rush bill through the legisla-

ton in the public schools of this State The
bill was finally gotten on the calendar upon
final passage in the House and to-day set for
its consideration. A large delegation of
ladies all interested in the bill arrived from
all over the State and so effective was the
lobby that although the opposition filbuster-
ed to the best of their power, the bill passed
this evening after lengthy session by a vote
of 131 to 80. The friends of the measure
will now turn their attention to the Senate
where they hope for an easy victory.

Guards were stationed in the corridors to

gathered as to the subject under discussion
it appears that some Senators deemed it nee
essary to have an understanding in regard to

nations for offices the terms of which have not
