French Spoliatton Claims-New Ha-
ven Claimants

But few cases for damages from the
French spoilation claims have been passed
by the court of claims for claimants in
New Haven, although Judge John G. Hol-
lister of this city has twelve cases alone
which he has been working for the heirs.
Two of these have been granted. On one
Of the New Haven ships captured the old
New Haven Insurance company had paid
the premium, and now entitled to claim
of IS ,615. On the same ship, one of the
owners whose heirs were represented by
the late Jeremiah A. Bishop, as admins
traitor, another claim of for some $4,000 or
81, 900 has been passed. The sloop Mary
Totten, loaded with a 81 900 cargo at New
Haven, put into Savannah, thence sailed
for ST. Croix and was captured by French
privateer in 1799 This and other claims
which Judge HOLSTER represents amount
to something like 100000.
About dozen other claims are in the
hands of Attorney G. B. Matthewman.
Among them are Eber M. Willard and
Marietta Camp, heirs of Josiah Willard of
Madison; heirs of Seth Toby, owner of
ship Juno, $4,000; Silas Savage, owner Of
five ships valued at 800, 000-eight heirs
out of town; Charles G. Benham of New
Haven, heir of Frederick, Thomas and
John Guyer, who owned shares in two
vessels, $4,000; D. G. Sanders of New
Haven, heir of Charles Wedmore, ship
Sally Ann, $4,000; Emily G. johnson of
New Haven, heir of Giles Savage of Mid
dletown, claim Of s., 600; Elisha I; Sage
of Cromwell, heir of Ben amin Butler,
owner of the ship Betsy and Nancy, claim
10000.
It is thought that very few of the Amer
lean claimants will be able to substantiate
their claims by sufficient evidence.

The Graham Hearing.

CASE.
The hearing on the General Graham pc
tition was resumed at o'clock before the
senate committee, when Attorney Cole of
Hartford appeared for the adjutant gen
eral and requested shat the hearing be con-
tinued until some time next week to give
him opportunity to examine evidence given
yesterday of which he was ignorant.
Attorney Hyde for General Graham said
that he was surprised that the adjutant-
general appeared by attorney at this late
day, after we had put in our defense.
General Embler went into the stand and
testified yesterday, and asked for few
moments to-day for rebuttal and I think
we might go on and finish up today.
Senator Seymour, chairman of the COM
mittee, thought that the adjutant-gener-
ais attorney should not be shut off from
hearing, and so the hearing was ad-
journed until next week Tuesday at l
p. m.

The great difficulty in effecting COM
promise in Connecticut, it should be re-
membered, is that the democrats cannot
compromise by hairs breadth without
repudiating their action on the second day
of the session, in declaring the democratic
candidates elected and in swearing them
in. By that act they distinctly asserted,
| and sealed the assertion, that the legisla-
ture cannot go behind the returns For
the republicans to propose the reference of
that mooted constitutional question to the
| courts is idle, unless the democrats are
prepared to abandon a position they took
with flourish of trumpets.- Springfel

CONNECTICUT COMMENT.


The Limitation of Terms of Higher
Court Judges-The Graham Case
Nathaniel Shipman and the New
Judgeships-Cleyelan and Eaton.
Yesterdays Bridgeport Standard says:
1.-THE resolution introduced in the house
by Mr.. Judson yesterday, that the clause in
the constitution limiting the term of
perior and supreme court judges, be re-
pealed, should become a law. We have
shelved several of our judges at time
| when their services were most valuable to
the state through the operation of this
| rule, and we think it for the best interests
of the public generally that it should be
done away with. In England, where pub
lie men stay in active life to the age of
ninety years, our rule must appear short
| sighted indeed, and we have no reason to
| believe that our judges and other public
men are incapacitated any earlier than are
those of England or any other country"
GALLANT COLONEL TwEEDY.
The appointment of Colonel John Tweedy
as postmaster at Danbury shows the evil
| dent desire of President Harrison to put
| only capable men in responsible positions.
| Colonel Tweedy served two terms before
| Cleveland was elected, and he made more
changes for the benefit of the people of
Danbury than any postmaster the town
ever had. He is thorough business man
and good epublican.-Ansonia Sentinel.
| THE CASE OF GENERAL GRAHAM.
| Whatever the senate may do in the case
of General Graham in the desire to slap
Governor Buckley, it will outrage all jus
tice and decency if it refuses to confirm
General Watson.-Bridgeport Standard.
| FOR U. s. JUDGE.
| The choice of Judge Nathaniel Shipman
of Hartford for one of the new judgeships
which congress has created to reduce the
amount of cases now before the supreme
court of the United States (already three
years behind its work., would be an alto
gether unexceptionable and admirable one,
especially popular in Connecticut. AS is
we'll known, Judge Shipman might to-day
be the chief justice of the supreme court
of errors of this state had he been willing
to accept the nomination which Governor
Buckley was willing to offer him. Judge
Shipman stands for what is staunchest and
best in Connecticut judicial life, and is
likely to receive President Harrison's care
full consideration. Post.

THE BASE BALL WORLD.

New Haven in Glass SB'' Under the
National ASreement-New Contracts
to be Made with the Players
Notes.
President N. G. Young of the National
league yesterday made official announce
ment of the fact that the International
league had been granted protection under
class B of the national agreement. The
only difference that exists between class A
and class is that either member OF class
A can draw upon the International league
clubs for players at the rate OF Sl,ooo for
the release of any player. The National
league and the Western association are
both members of class A, while the sole
member of class B is the international
league. Protection under the national
agreement will cost each of the clubs of
the International league $175. The salary
limit of each club will be 50, 500 per month
| and no player shall receive more than SOU
| for one months services. The compensa-
ton of umpires is fixed at $3.50 per month
| and expenses.
The national board has adopted two new
| forms of contracts. These contracts WILL
go into effect on March Is and will be used
| by all clubs that are members of the ma
tional agreement. In the first form of con
tract provision is made FOR seven months
| season, with renewal clause for one OF
more successive seasons, just as is con
tanned in the old form approved by the
League at the meeting in November last:
| The second form is more comprehensive
and provides for a term of years, without
any renewal clause. The salary under il
is to be divided into twelve monthly OF
twentyfour semi-monthly payments in
each year, but there is proviso that
nothing in the contract shall be construed
to require of the player any service what
| ever between seasons, except obedience tx
the regulations of the club and of the board
relative to the physical training and thu
moral discipline of the player. Both formi
will be regular, discretion being allowed
clubs and players to execute either; boil
conform to the national agreement, ant
both provide for their annulment in Law
when the club or players withdraw from
| the nrOtaotiOn of the national agreement

by one Whitaker, and cost not far from
$500. LAS an instance of common neglect,
there is not the slightest reference to the
purchase of this instrument in either
church or society record.) It is now in
use in the Congregational church at Beth
lehem, Conn. In 1855 Mr.. Howds salary
was raised to $1G0 per year. In 1862 Uri

leader of aaLsic at 800 per year. In the
succeeding tea, years an almost unnumber-
ed host Of amateurs and professionals
swarmed through the choir gallery and the
music lansulshed. During part of this
period the church was pastorless-the war
of the rebellion was on, and eventually the
meeting house was remodelled. All these
distractions coupled with the tinkerings of
incompetent persons and committees, had
a wasting effect, and the musical prestige
of this ancient church took cold bath
from the results of which it has not yet re-
covered.

III. ii. Steele Found That Way From an
Overdose Of Choral.
Hannibal Hamlin Steele. a well-known book
canvasser here for some years past. was re-
moved to Providence Hospital last night, suf-
fering from an overdose of chloral, but whether
taken with suicidal intent is not known. He
had been drinking heavily of late and on Tues
day night at the third precinct station,
from which he was released yesterday morn
ing. About o'clock yesterday he obtained
room at the Ashton House. No. 313 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, saying he desired to lie down.
Later he went to the drug store 319 Pennsyl'
vania avenue and asked DIR. Cobb for cyanide
of potash. He then appeared nervous and
the doctor suspecting that something was
wrong with him refused him, although he
stated that he desired 1t for experiment on
a dog. He then left and was seen some time
afterward about other drug stores and in the
afternoon at the Ashton House. About 8
o'clock last night Officer Mansfield was asked
by Mr.. Moore of the Ashton House to have
Steele removed. but finding that he was sleep
ing declined and suggested that physician be
sent for. DIR. Cobb was called and recognizing
the sleeper as the party who had visited him in
the morning and finding him in comatose
state suspected suicide and suggested his re-
moval to the hospital. He was at once sent in
the sixth precinct wagon to Providence Hos
pital. A four-Ounce phial of choral hydrate
and morphine. with about an ounce and half
Of gin, was found in the room.
