FOREIGN BUILT SHIPS.

The Senate Commerce Committee by
 . Unanimous Vote Reports Favor
 ably on the Bill Granting American
 Register-SecretaryT Tracy,s Letter to
 the Committee.
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-The senate com merce committee decided this morning by @ unanimous vote to report fayorably the bill granting American register to certain foreign built ships of the 1nman line of a tonnage of not less than 5000 tons and speed of not less than twenty knots, which passed the house Monday. Senator Frye, chairman of the committee, was authorized to urge immediate consideration by the senate, and this he will do at the first op- portunity. Secretary Tracy, in letter to the committee, expresses the opinion that the bill is second in importance only to the naval appropriation bill and urges its passage.
 It is a matter of serious consideration whether steps may not be taken towards the creation of such @ fleet of specially adapted steamers, of American construc- tion, owned by American merchants, car rying the American flag and capable, under well Q6Qn6Q COuOltlOub, UT temporary lu- corporation in the American navy. The advantages of such an arrangement, which l enlarges the merchant marine and makes | it at the same time protecting, are over whelmingly great. The difficulty is that American capital will not be drawn into the enterprise unless it can be sure of specific compensation for the concessions, which ii makes to the government, first in the l adaptation of its vessels to the latter'e needs and secondly in the surrender of 6 privilege to use them when the exigency l arises. In the absence of such an arrange
 ment the navy policy cannot neglect tc take account of the fleets of fast cruisers
 which foreign states maintain under the ouise of passenger and merchant stea ners
 They constitute an auxiliary navy anc
 must be reckoned as 8 part of the maya force of the governments maintaining them It is difficult to imagine nor,
 effective commerce destroyer than thu
 steamship City ot Paris, armed with 8 bat
 tery of rapid firing guns. She can stean over twenty-one knots an hour and car
 average 19.1 knots from land to lant
 across tue Atlantic. No man-of-wa
 could oyertake her; no merchantmaI
 could escape her. A fleet of such cruiser
 would sweep on enemy's commerce iron
 the ocean. This fact is well understood
 in Europe, and states that are unprovidet
 with a convertible merchant fleet are pre-
 pairing to meet the possible emergency b.
 partly protected cruisers that are substan
 tially as fast as the City of Paris.

CITY AUDITOR LAKBANGRY.

Mayor Sargent Does Not Approve oi | the Bills for Furnishing the New Room fin the City Hall-Auditor | Lakc's Caustic RepIy-The BilIs | Finally Among Others Approved.
 The board of finance met yesterday for
 the purpose of approving the bills of the
 various departments for the past month.
 Among the bills were several for furnish
 ing the room in the third story now oocu-
 pied by City Auditor Lake, City Clerk
 Downes, Assistant City Clerk Martin snd
 City Sheriff Brannigan. When these bills came up for approval instantly there was
 stir among the members of the board
 and contrary to the general custom, for the meetings of this board are usually very harmonious, for few minutes quite e lively spst ensued between the mayor and city auditor over these bills.
 When these bills came up Mayor Sargent said that he did not approve of these bills, ss he had not been consulted in reference to expense. His honor's remarks precipi- tated the little "unpleasantness" which followed.
 Instantly the city auditor became aroused and replied to the mayor in most scathing nc talQ. T alQ eOrTT. NIX. Mayor, that you cannot be mayor, city auditor, city clerk and janitor at one and the same time, but notwithstanding how strong your desires may be in that respect they can never be accomplished. I have been city. auditor for number of years past and during all that time no one has ever objected to my expenditures Neither has any previous mayor objected to the idea of the auditor, clerk and sheriff moving into another part of the city hall. can see exactly what you are endeavoring to accomplish by your actions. You are working with the town to beat us out of our office. suppose you would like to have me come to you for permission to buy 8 cake of soap or 6 box of paper whenever I need it, but have never done so in the past, and do not intend to com- mence now"
 During these remarks Mayor Sargent kept cool and unruffied, and when MT. Lake had finished simply said in reply that he was not opposed to the bills, and had only raised the question in order to determine his right to be consulted in the matter. He did not object to the commis- sioners signing the bills, and consequently the bills were immediately signed.
 The payrolls of the police and fire de | partments and of the board of public | works were then signed and approved, as was also the bill of F. w. Coggswell for | $7l0.10 for services rendered during the | recent Big Four" trial.
 A bill for S6S0.05 for repairs on the stone | crusher was referred to the mayor as a | committee to investigate and report.
 The bill of the Evening Leader, amount | ing to s65.1 for city advertising was re- ferred to the court of common council, owing to the fact that some time ago the | court of common council ordered the ad- inserted in six city papers, and at that time the Leader was not in eI- istence The board then adjourned

FLAMES LEAP INTO THE AIR

A Leak in the Gas Pipes Causes a
 Frightful Explosion-Rour Men In-
 jured-WindowsB Broken open.
 Escaping gas was smelled in the saloon of George Miller of Nos. and 9 Custom House square last night. Patrick McDon- aid, plumber, went into the cellar accom- panied by William Dixon, A. G. Dickin- son and Fred Smith, with a lighted candle. The gas ignited and loud explosion was heard, with flames rising up to the second story. Officer Dippold hastened to the scene of the confagrstion and found that all the windows of the house, including six show windows, were broken out and the men who had gone into the cellar severely burned about the head and neck. Dr. Bellosa wa. summoned and the wound ed men were attended to. The wounds are not found serious and the men will probably be around in a few days.
 The gas escaped from an old pipe which has not been used for long time Aside from the general shaking up and the break ing of the windows no damage was done.

The Fair Haven Grade Crossings-A New London Case Also Heard. The hearing before the railroad commis- sioners on the Fair Haven grade cI cIossings matter was held at Union depot yesterday morning. The city was represented by Mayor Sargent, Corporation Counsel Dris coll and City Engineer Ingersoll. Vice President Futile appeared for the Consoli. | dated road.
 A number of Fair Haven residents were present and testified. Alderman Walter Connor, Attorney James P. Bree and Off cer Michael Coffey spoke of the danger at these crossings and recounted many mar row escapes.
 Francis Healey of Blatchley avenue, an old resident, said he could not rent one of his houses near the crossing owing to the danger from trains. Drivers of teams of | ten get confused at the crossings. People | living in the neighborhood were more care full, but strangers were in considerable danger.
 John Williams favored gates at the cross ing.
 James Eagan: "Fillmore and Poplal l street crossings are obstructed from view by houses. The trains run very fast anc gates or fagmen should be located" | MT. Westernman, painter, said tha' only Tuesday last his team was nearly struck by a train. He believed gstei would be the safest precaution.
 Patrick Stewart made this statement sMy wife and child narrowly escaped be ing killed at one of the crossings recently When MT. Bradley of West Haven wa struck he was taken to my house and cared for"
 Vice President Futile said that the com pauy was under considerable expense, bu would comply with any wish of the com missioners.
