POLO KNOCKED OUT.
Colonel Doherty Refuses to Rent the
 ArmorN to Manngtr Whiting.

Colonel DohertY Refuses to Rent the
 ArmorS- to Manager Whiting.
 The application brought by the Amusement company, through Manager Whiting, asking for the use of the armory from November to April 1, on Wednesday and Friday evenings, in- cluding holidays, was denied by Colonel Doherty this afternoon.
 Col Doherty says that in the first place the application is too sweeping. Company G have asked for the arn4ory for five Wednesday nights the coming season and it is his duty to look after the interests of the companies. Another reason for his action is that the aruory is not safe place for polo. The roof leaks and the walls are not very strong. He will notify Mir Whiting of his deci- sion this evening.
 This wIll probably settle the polo question so far as Waterbury is con- cerned. The S7 ,000 rink which was built in the columns of our esteemed morning contemporary month ago. has vanished into air.

The Farmers Are Ahead.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Plumb introduced bill to reduce the
amount of United States bonds to be
required of national banks and to re-
place their surrendered notes and to
provide for the free coinage of silver.
Referred to the committee on finance.
He also offered an amendment, IN the
same terms, to a bill now on the Calen-
dar, 50 that the matter can be brought
before the Senate independently OF any
report from the finance committee. In
doing so he gave notice that if the cleo
tionS bill were not disposed of at an
early date he should move to lay 1t
aside for the time being, in order that
the bill just introduced by him and all
other measures relating to the financial
condition of the country should be con-
sidered. Something: he said, ought to
he done. Congress had on it a respon-
sibility which, in his Judgment, 1t
could not avoid for any great period OF
time without letting pass a very great
opportunity for helping the country,
and one which, in his judgment, would
not occur again in a very great many
wears. If something was not done with
in the next two or three weeks it might
as well be postponed indefinitly. The
Farmers Alliance sub-treasury.. bills
which were at the last session referred
to the committee on agriculture were
transferred to the committee on finance,
as being more properly within the Ju-
risdiction of the latter committee.

Killed on an American Steamer.
by United Press!


CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 11.-Advices
received here respecting the shooting of
General Barrunda on board tbs Ameri-
can steamship Acapulco at St. Jose, da
Guatemala, states that Capt. Pitts, of
the Acapulco, had made declaration
which the Guatemalan claim completely
justifies their action. Mr.. Miner, the
American minister, the authorities
say, was consulted as an act Of
courtesy only. 1t is further alleged
that when Capt. Toriello and Capt. Pitts
read to BarrunGia the order for his de-
livery to the Guatemalan authorities,
Barrundia asked permission to change
his clothes, which Was granted. Turn
ing away, Barrundia suddenly grasped
two revolvers and fired on Toriello, Pitts
and the policemen, who in turn fired on
Barrundia, killing him. Capt. Pitts had
taken the precaution of ordering the
passengers to withdraw; otherwise some
Of them would have undoubtedly been
hit by the bullets from Barrundia's pis-
tois.
