Senator Fairs Letter to Secre-
tary Lamar.
A Plan for the Settlement of
the Apache Question.
Two More Deaths Reported
from Milwaukee.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Senator Fair,
of Nevada, has written the following let
ter to the secretary of the interior, setting
forth n plan for the settlement of the
Apache question:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
"WAsHfNGToN, April 10.
10 Hon. L. Q. O. Lamar, secretary Of
the interior.
DEAR SIR ~ enclose the pamphlet
of which | spoke to YOU yesterday. BY
examining the map you will see the exact
position of the Santa Catalina island. 1t
is isolated, and too far from the shore for
any ordinary boat to reach it. My idea Is
that if the Apaches were put on this island
they would require no guards, and all that
would be needed would be a small steam
tender and a crew to run between the
island and the post of Wilmington for the
purpose of communication and supply.
This would, in my opinion, set the Apache
question at rest forever; would save the
country many valuable lives and the gov
erument millions of money. The title to
the island is perfect. As near as | can re-
member the price asked by the owners is
either SO or 81 per acre. Owing
to the location of the island
the climate is as mild and
salubrious as can be found anywhere in
the world. Should you look with favor
upon my suggestion as to the value of
this island for the purposes named, | shall
be glad at any time to 20 more into details
with you upon the subject | am yours

IN CIR OUT.

New Phase to tho Consolidation of Town and City Quest1on-An Idea That Was Broached By Party of Gentlemen Yesterday.
 Apropos to the town and city consolida- ton question, which appears to be one of the questions which will occupy some time with the incoming legislature, party of prom inent gentlemen who were yesterday discuss ing the question proposed "a new deal" in regard to it. "If, said they, "the Annex, or what was formerly East Haven, is in earnest in opposition to being made part and par eel of the city, and we see no reason to doubt that it is-certainly taat part which is largely devoted to farming-why, let's turn the business around. Instead of the Annex and Westville being consolidated with the city, let the Annex be set off to the town of East Haven, from which it set off to this city few years ago, and let Westvilfe be set off to Woodbridge. This may solve the whole question and cut the Gordian knot of difficulty. And why" continued the gentlemen, who, though not all speaking at once, coincided in their views the subject, "why is not this sonable way out of the dificultya The An nexwill getri of paying city taxes and becom-
 
 ven taxes, which are less than one-half, we believe what New Haven's taxes are. Ger tainly the tax in East Haven is great deal smaller than New Haven's. This, it will be perceived, is matter of dollars and cents, and it is an item of importance to many taxpayer whose means quite limited, but who must pay the tax bill if the wife has to go without that new bonnet which she has been expecting to get for year. Westville would also be a gainer in the sane way. This staid, quiet place. which has air in tensely rural, if you leave out contemplation of the match factory and one or two other shops there, and the inhabitants, in our opinion, will strenuously object to paying city taxes. Westville now pays only town taxes, which is mills or 61a. How would it like to pay 19 or 20 mills. So with the Annex. It pays only town taxes now, but they will certainly kick at paying city taxes, especially the farmers. If Westville is set off to Woodbridge she will have low taxes still.
 ''Then, with these two places set off to adjoining towns, the consolidation of New Haven's city and town governments can be quietly effected and the gentlemen who have agitated this move nent for ten, fifteen or twenty years past can rejoice, and perhaps, should this result take place, they will build bonfire on the Green nnder the classic shadow of either old Yale or the old State House. But in any case, if the Annex is made part of the city, ,she will claim fire and police protection, neither of which she gets now except as matter of charity, as it were. The Selectmen have graciously allowed policeman or two for the borough, but what two policemen when there is free fight going on, especially l with such large strip of territory for two men to cover l'

 The Canaan News declares that the monu- ment erected by the Hon. Robbins Battell on Bear Mountain is nearly completed. That gentleman leased five acres of land at the top of the mountain for 999 years. The News says:
 A dozen men busy engaged at work on the monument, which is now seventeen feet in height It is probable that the work will be completed by tho end of the present week if the weather contin- ues fair. To pile up this large mass of stone has uuired for six weeks the services of from six tu twelve men and has been a work of considerable difficulty, owing to the peculiar situation and the difncuty of securing sufficient supply of stone.
 The height of the monument is stated to be 2, ,354 feet above the sea.

BUNCO MEN.

The Two Bunco steerers Who Tried
 to Work This City Also Hear i
 From in Waterbury.
 The same two bunco steerers who tried to do some of their confidence work in this city in the past few days it seems tried the same game in Waterbury the day after Christmas. The men hired room in a quiet locality, stating that they wanted to use it for little while each day to write some letters, and after paying for the room for a week in ad- vance the men left the house in search of a victim, which they soon found in an aged farmer, eighty years old, living near Water bury and who is a relative of MT. Johnson of this city, the real estate agent who lives at Cedar Hill. One of the men induced the farmer to accompany him to his room where the other man was found fooling with pack of cards, and the farmer was invited to play, but refused and the young man played for him and announced that he had won $5, 000 The farmer became very much excited over his supposed good luck and then the men told him that hs would have to cover that amount to be successful in the play, and the farmer was only too eager to go to Waterbury bank where he had some money and draw out S5,000. The two men accompanied him as far as the bank door and said they would wait for him outside while he went into the bank and drew out his money. The former went into the bank and told the teller, who was 8 friend of his, that he wanted to draw out $5,OOO. The teller asked him what he wanted it for, but the farmer replied that he guessed he knew his own business and wanted the money. The teller, after talking with him for some time, he suspecting that all was not right, told him that the bank would not pay him the money under sixty days notice. At this the farmer told the teller what he wanted of the money and the two went out to look for the man, but of course he had disappeared. The farmer was thankful enough to escape so easily.
 The way the bunco men work is to hang around the depot of city until they see some farmer who looks as if he might be worth considerable money arrive on some train, and then they discover who he is and one of them goes up to him, calling him by name, and requests him to go with them on some pretense other.
