WAR ON TICKET sOALPEms.

The Interstate Commerce COmmis-
 sion at Chicago PeerIng Sharply inc
 to Railroad Fraads.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The principal object for which Chairman Cooley and MT. Morrison of the interstate commerce commission came to this city is to unearth the alleged practice said to have been resorted to by the railroads to evads the provisions of the law in regard to passenger traffic. In order to not affect their business between intermediate points most of the railroads now transact all their
 business through brokers or scaIpers' offices
 The scalpers are furnished with large blocks
 of tickets, on which they are paid their com-
 mission amounting to nearly one-half the
 value and which they sell at greatly reduced
 rates. Thus the through rates are lower
 than the rates to intermediate points. h
 clauses the through rates at the regular offices are maintained at tariff, but travellers are given to understand that they can get cheaper rates by going to scalpers' offices. A statement lately furnished Chairman Abbott of the Western States Passenger as sociation revealed the fact that there were tickets to St. Louis, Missouri river points and St. Paul and Minneapolis in the hands of soalpers, the tariff value of which was over $160, 900, which were sold to them at about one-half of their regular rates. This does not include the large blocks of tickets placed in scalper's hands from day to day on which they receive a large commission
 E. A. Mulford, one of the leading scalpsrs in the city, who has branch offices in nearly every prominent city in the count was be fore the commission yesterday afternoon, and 1t is learned from good authority that neither entreaties nor threats could induce him tc answer the questions of the commission as
 to the roads that furnished him with tickets and at what prices or upon what conditions
 he obtained them. MT. Mulford, it is said was given until Monday to answer the ques tions of the committee, or be committed fol contempt.

Slow Progress of lhe Mills RilI In the
 Eena6e-Other Measures Which Will
 Come Up-The Direct Tax Bfll in tEae
 House
 WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The Mills tariff bill will be taken up every day this week in the Senate immediately after the miscellaneous business of the morning hour. The bill as printed contains 160 printed pages and last week an average of 19 pages day were dis posed of. This rate of progress, if maintain ed, would enable the Senate to reach 8 vote in nine legislative days, and if the confident prediction of some Republican Senators that the bill will be out of the way before the hol- iday recess is to be verified it's consideration will have to continue at this rapid rate. But in view of the efforts of Messrs. Harris and MacPherson of the minority and of Mr. Plumb of the majority to procure the adop- ton of amendments now pending and making allowance for others to be offered it is hardly probable that the measure will be returned to the House until after the Christmas recess.
 The Union Pacific funding bill is on the calendar for Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, but the friends of the tariff bill ex- pect it to be again postponed.
  to ask the Senate to take up the Des Moines river lands bill passed by the House last week, but 1t will not be done until the tariff bill is out of the way. There are several bills in conference between the two houses, ,includ ing the land grand forfeiture bills, which are privileged matters, but it ib not expected that they will come up this week except in some now unforeseen contingency.
 Under the rules of the House the first business in order to-merrow after the call of States for the introduction and reference of bills is the consideration of measures pertain ing exclusively to the District of Columbia. Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted to discussion and finally voting upon the direct tax bill. There is not much disposition to discuss the measure itself, the collateral question-the cotton tax amendment-being the chief target for debate. The District of Columbia and the pension appropriation bills will be taken up Thursday and the legislature week will close with further consideration of the bill to incorporate the Maritime Canal company of Nicaraugua.
 There will be caucus of the Democratic of the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening to consider measures relat- ing to the territories and the general policy to be pursued during the session.

CH1NAmEN SURELY RESET

Hartford Police Bag Thfrty-One MOn-
 gOlians i'm a Gambling Ben On sum-
 day.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 9.-The police had reason to believe that gambling was being carried on in Chinese establishment on Main street. It is a combined store and laundry, being the only Chinese store in town. This evening eight policemen sur- rounded the place. Admission being re- fused they broke in the door. The back room was filled with Ohinamen, sur- rounding tables covered with gambling im- clements and money. Two or three differ ert games were found in progress, including the popular 'tfan tan." The entire party and the outfit were taken to the station. Thirty-one Chiuamen were locked up on the charge of gam bling on Sunday.
 There were comparatively few Hartford residents among them, nearly all claiming to belong in other places. Among the resi- dents given were Boston, New York, PhilaS delphia, Brooklyn and Springfield. No weapons of any description were found upon them, and they made no show of resistance, Most of them had money, some quite an amount. It is supposed that they have been coming to Hartford to gamble, considering 1t safer than other cities because the local police have never before molested them. It is safe to say that the station blotter never before exhibited such e collection of names and the lieutenant of police was nearly driven wild in attempting to spell this to the satisfaction of the prisoners. The station can hardly use the sign "rooms for one more' tonight.

A YALE MAN INJURED.

Shocking A eeidens to Walter T. VII. lard of she Freshman Class, ,as Bridge. port sDrswbFIdge-AeIs Is Doing as Well as Possible at the RrIAgePOrs HOs- pttal-His Parents With Him Tester day.
 BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 9-Walter J. Willard of the freshman class of Yale college, who had his leg crushed at the railroad drswbridge Saturday afternoon, is still at the Bridge port hospital, and it is thought by his doc tors that he will recover. The mutilated limb was smputsted yesterday.
 The affair is one of the saddest that has happened to Yale student in many years. Willard and classmate, E. H. Floyd Jones, had often spoken of taking long walk ton gether, and Saturday morning several mem bers of the eating club, of which the two young men are members, remarked that it was good time for them to take their walk to Bridgeport. The two decided to set out after the first morning recitation, and aocor- dingly left the campus about 10 o'clock. They met several college boys on their way down Chapel street, and both were in exs cellent condition. Willard was quite an athlete, and TO wed on his class crew on the fall Saltonstall races. They soon passed 
 ford, where they decided to leave the turn- pike and walk the rest of the way to Bridge port upon the railroad track. They reached the drawbridge just this side of Bridgeport about 2:30 o'clock, and as they approached the bridge they found freight train stopped there; for all trains have to stop there before crossing the draw. Willard jumped onto one of the cars as the train started, but Floyd Jones would not get on because he was bound to walk all the way, or for some other reason he decided to walk and allow his friend to ride over alone. Willard got along all right until he neared the watering tank on the west end of the bridge when he jumped of and was thrown under the cars. His com panion saw him jump but did not conpre- bend the terrible accident that had happened until he saw the train stop and 8 crowd assemble around the spot where he last beheld his friend. He hastened across the drawbridge and there saw his friend lying with his leg crushed and horribly mangled. It was still hanging to the stump and bled but little. Willard's first words when he saw his companion were: "Oh, Jones, telegraph to my father"
 The ambulance was summoned and the unfortunate young man taken to the Bridge port hospital, where it was decided that the leg would have to be amputated above the knee. As soon as Jones saw his friend eom- fortable he returned to New Haven and brought the sad news to his classmates. William J. Willard is the son of Mr. c. c. Willard, proprietor of Willard's Hotel, one the most celebrated hotels in Washington, D. C., situated at the corner of and Penn sylvania avenue, is twenty years old and weighs about 150 pounds. He was of retir- ing disposition and much liked by all ac- quainted with him. His father, mother and sister arrived from Washington Saturday evening. The young man is doing well and passed a very comfortable night.
 Rev. Dr. Hovey of Bridgeport was within five feet of Willard when the accident oc- cured He assisted in removing him

A Peculiar Railroad Accident.

ST. JoHNsBURY, Vt. Dec. 8.-The smash up on the St. Johnsbury and Lake Cham plain road yesterday was one of a peculiar character. A wheel broke and the car jumped the track and ran about 200 yards with one side of an embankment so steep that the car would have gone down if the ground had not been frozen. At this point 8 culvert about eight feet wide WAS jumped by several cars and the train parted, leaving five cars, three of them off the track. Three hundred yards on was a rock cut and the cars struck the points of the rocks over thir- ty times, leaving portions of the cars all along. When through this, eight cars went off the embankment and were mostly broken up fine. The train was on down grade at the time, and although the engineer reversed his engine, the train ran 800 yards before stopping. When the engineer saw the cars going over he put on steam and kept the en- zine and one car on the track. The damage will be S3 900 or more,

During the afternoon this rumor became widespread and fifteen hundred miners from Pratt mines would after dark march to the city armed with guns, pistols and dynamite cartridges, and with the increase to their ranks that was expected assault the soldiers and with dynamite blow to atoms the jail. That such will be attempted is expected even by the military, though asuccessful finale is not anticipated. There are already ten mili- tary companies under command of Colonel Jones and five others will arrive on special trains by midnight. The famous Montgomery Grays, the equally famous True Blues, the Mounted Rifles under Hon. A. A.

SPORTING MATTERS.

Work of the New Haven Polo Team Daring she Last Week-Ths Meridens Here To-night-NOtes IR General.
 The New Haven polo team played the Hart lords Saturday night in Hartford, and were defeated 6 to 5. It was one of the most stubborn1y fought games of the season. Whenever the New Ravens make a squirt and play a strong game, the contending team is almost equally strong, if not stronger.
 NeWeomb rushed in Hartford for the first time since his being laid off. In the mean time he had been in training, and 1t did him good deal of good. He and Connors did splendid work. Valiant is working like 8 beaver. As captain of the team he inspires his men with confidence, and as he plays his best the others try to emulate him.
 There is one trouble with the team which should be remedied and could be by practice. It is in passing. They cannot pass at long distances. If they could it would save them considerable wind. As 1t is at present they all get in heap and lose much by it. One of the rushers should remain half way down the rink, and when he sees the other rusher coming with the ball he should get in posi- ton for the ball to be passed to him.
 The home team has now played thirteen games and won four. Four games have been played with New Bedford, of which three have been lost. Out of three played with Bridgeport two have been lost. Two out of three were lost to each Hartford and Meriden. During the past week there has been but one change in the standing. Hartford has forged ahead of Bridgeport. By defeating New Ha- ven Friday night New Bedford had better percentage than Meriden, but the latter had played one less than New Bedford. Satur- day night New Bedford did not play but Meriden did, and by defeating Bridgeports 3 to 1 at Meriden pulled themselves up to the same standing as New Bedford. Each has now won nine and lost four. New Haven is one behind Bridgeport. Each has won four. New Haven has lost nine and Bridgeport eight.
 Games T0-NIght.
 The Meridens play here to night. Connors and Newcomb will rush for the home team. It will be close game.
 The Bridgeports play at New Bedford to- night. If the visitors lose and New Haven wins the latter team will be out of last place.
