STILL A mYS1,ERY,

Suspicion of Foul Play Regarding the
 Disappearance of John J. Franklin
 Bogus Telegrams Sent to Delay In-
 vestigation.
 WILLIMANTIC, Conn. March 24.-Suspicion of foul play in the death of John J. Frank lin, we'll known South Coventry contractor who disappeared March 15, is strengthened by recent developments. A few days ago 8 dispatch was sent to the New Haven police from Windsor Locks, Conn, saying Franklin was there all right and would be home in 6 few days. Last Friday despatch came from Pawtucket, R. l., signed Franklin" ad- dressed Postmaster Frank E. Hall, South Coventry, Conn. ," saying not to worry about Franklin because he would return that night by the midnight express. Charles Franklin, brother of the absent man, went to Paw tucket yesterday and saw the original copy 1 of the despatch sent from there. He says it is not his brothers handwriting, and he found no trace of his brother having been there. Friends believe that the dispatches l were sent by parties connected with Frank | lin's disappearance and for the purpose of preventing active search until traces of foul | play can be covered.

wAsHINGTON NOTES.

Mrs. Harrison is ImprovEng-CorPora Tanners Policy - Murat Halstead Probably to be Minister to Germany. WASHINGTON, March 24.-Mrs. Harrison is much improved and is now able to leave
 her bed, although still confined to her room. Her illness is said to be largely due to the
 bad sanitary condition ot the White House. The justices of the Supreme court met in regular consultation yesterday and made ar arrangements for their attendance upon the funeral of the late Justice Matthews. Chief Justice Fuller, Justices Gray, Blatchford and
 Lamar, will probably accompany the re- mains to Cincinnati, leaving here Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 Corporal Tanner, the newly appointed commissioner of pensions, when asked what policy he would pursue in dealing with the affairs of the bureau, said: "I can best answer that by quoting one of General Har- rison's remarks made during the campaign. He said: Gentlemen, it is no time to use the apothecary's scales when you come to weigh the services of the men who saved the nstion.' If I were asked to define my ideas on this pension question in a sentence I should unhesitatingly reply:
 "A pension for every surviving soldier who needs one, and no soldiers widow, father or mother should be in want. I am going to take hold of this mighty machine, and l am not fool enough to think have nothing to learn of its workings."
 ''Are you Tn favor of an increase in the soldiers pensionss"
 'I tell you frankly I am opposed to these $1, g, s a month pensions. If you are go- ing to give 8 man anything give him enough that he may realize that he is getting some thing. If there is an old soldier who has got a claim that you satisfied is good one and he has not quite proved it., my policy is to assist him to procure that proof. You may say that I am opposed to knocking out sol- diers' claims because of technical short- coming"
 Among the nominations which it is be- lieved will be sent to the Senate early this week is that of Murat Hslsted to be minister to Germany. MT. Hslsteds friends say that his appointment has been determined on and that it may be expected any day. SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 24.-The friends of General J. Warren Keller are mak | ing vigorous efforts to have him appointed associate justice of the United State Supreme court vice Stanley Matthews deceased. The movement is said to be backed by John Sherman, Shellabarger,.. Charley Foster and General Sherman.

 Anarchists Hold an Agitation Meeting
 fin Chicago.
 CHICAGO, March A.-Anrachist Lucy Par sons was the chief speaker last night in Twelfth street Turn hall at celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of the Paris com- mune. About 2,500 people were present, and they exchanged significant glances when Mrs. Parsons shouted:
 "We want a revolution! Whether peace ful or bloody makes no difference. A revo- lution must come"
 She declared she had but one object in life to make rebels of them all. At an agitation meeting today an anarchist named Cook made use of this expression:
 "They have hung the anarchists, but they do not dare to hang any more."
 This met with such favor that motion was made asking the reporters to make spec. ial mention of the same.

 game here.
 Hartford is cutting great swell, a.. their base ball reporters are putting their team away out of sight, just as the New Ha- two years ago It is amusing to read the comments of Hartford's correspondents, but New Haven is not saying word. There is no reason why the Capitol City people should not enjoy themselves, even if their thoughts do prove to be delusive dreams. They say up there that Manager Henry paid big sum for the release of Pitcher Winkleman, but a Milwaukee writer is un- kind enough to Hartford to say that Winkle man was released last week to himself, as Milwaukee had fourteen pitchers. Hartford has signed "Gentle Willie" Murphy. What do you think of thats Every player that our sister city signs is called 8 'dandy" by the Hartford Telegram-Record. A team of ''dandies" ought to win the pennant. And here is some more growing by the Hartford correspondent of the Sporting times: eff we don't beat New Haven out, or come near it, shoot us on the spot"
 The game at the Yale field Saturday be- tween the Yaie University and Plainyille teams was probably the worst exhibition of base ball ever seen in this city. The Yale team did we'll to get country team here that they knew they could defeat with ease. The game did not do them any good except in base running. There was only one man on the Plainvilles who acted as if he had ever seen base ball before, and that was the catcher. He threw to bases accurately, but either the basemen mufed the ball or Umpire O'Maley's eyesight troubled him for the time being. As for the Yale team, it showed evidence of weakness. Dalzell has no command of the ball, and before the sea- son is through he will have Poole, his catch- CT, pretty badly broken up unless he does considerably better work. In order to win the championship this year the team has got to do the hardest kind of practice work from now on. Yale won by the score of 25 to B. NEW YORK, March 24.-The first pro- fessional base ball game in this vicinity was played at Weehawken to day, the re organized Metropolitans defeating picked nine by score II to 3. Twenty-Five hun dred persons witnessed the game. Lynch, Holbert, Roseman, Crane, Nelson, C.. Jones, Troy, Kennedy and Becsnnon constituted the Metropolitans' team.
