O'COnnor Goes to Garfield and

WHAT MIR. FENTON HAS TO SAY.
Why He Advertised 0'COnnOr and Why He
Gives Him Up-OCOnnOr Enters
Suit for Damages.

There was no cessation yesterday in the war
about the oarsmen, and the mind OF the public
has been left in state of great uncertainty as to
where the milk was located. There are many
people Of the opniOn-and il seems TO be an
opinion that is rapidly gaining ground-that the
whole thing is q pu; 10 job among the oarsmer
TO work the town COR every dollar it will stand.
Be this as 1t may, no one can doubt the sincerity
Of the management Of both resorts. That O'COn-
nor has contracted to go TO Lake Park there can
be no uouDt, ana the Garfield management in
difference to the con ing or going OF Lee leaves
the Impression that he is not much pumpkins

THE MILLS BILL.
A constitutional Question InvoIved In the
Senate Substitute,

constitutional Question Involved In the
Senate Substitute.
WASHINGTON, Feb 16-Mr. Mills, of
Texas, from the Committee on Ways and
Means reported back the Mills Tariff bill
with Senate amendments, and by direc-
tion of the Speaker it was referred to the
Committee of the Whole.
Mr.. Mills also reported the following res
olution which he said presented a ques-
tion Of privilege and the consideration of
which, he said, she would ask the House to
enter upon on Tuesday next:
Rss0l0ed, That the substitution by the Senate
under the form Of an amendment for the bill Of
the House No 9051 (the Mills bil) of another
and different bill containing general revision
of the laws, imposing duties and internal taxes,
is in conflict with the true intent and purposes
of section 4, article 1, of the Constitution and
the respectful suggestion that said section rests
in the House of Representatives the sole power
to originate such measure.
Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio said that the
constitutional objection raised by the ma
joTlUY of the committee to a reduction Of
the revenue had been called to the atten-
tion of the committee lyz that morning.
He therefore reserved to the minority the
right to file their views.
The remainder of the report is devoted
to an explanation of the points of differ
ence between the Senate and the House
bills and an argument intended to prove
that the Senate bill is in no sense a proper
amendment of the House bill.

How the People of Connecticut Rebelled
Against Tyranny in 1898.
Long before the war by which the
thirteen American colonies became In
dependent States, they were often en-
gagged in struggles to prevent royal
Governors from encroaching on their
rights and privileges. In the autumn
of 1893. Governor Fletcher, OF New
York, went to Hartford to assert there
his authority as commandments Of
the militia of Oonnecticut ag
The royal commission had entrusted
him with large powers over the militia
Of the colony, and he ordered n out,'
though the season for Parades had
ended, and the charter Of ConneetAeut
denied his jurisdiction.
II win not set my foot out Of this
colony,i said Fletcher, haughtiiy' to
the Governor, until ! have seen his
Majesty's commission obeyed-
The Connecticut Governor yielded
so far as to order Captain Wadsworth
to call out the train-bands OF Hartford.
The result is described in Lossing D.
History of the Empire State"
When the troops were assembled,
Fletcher stepped forward 70 take com
mand and ordered his aid TO read his
Excellency's commission. Captain
Wadsworth ordered the drums To be
beaten
"silencer' angrily cried Fletcher,
and the aid began to read.
"Drum! drumr' shouted Wadsworth,
and the roll OF the drums drowned the
aids voice.
.silencein again cried the enmged
Governor, and threatened the Captain
with punishment
Wadsworth stepped in front Of the
furious Governor, rested his hand On
his sword. and said, calmly: ''If my
drummers are interrupted again I'll
make the sunlight show through you'll
We deny and defy your authority
