Many Petitions Received By the Road

Many Petitions Received By the Road and Sewer Boards Last Night. The regular meetings of the road and
 sewer boards were presided over by

 sewer board was first called to order.
 The petitions for sewer in Elm street, from Scovill to East Main street, and a
 sewer in Wolcott street, were referred
 to the city engineer for an estimate of expense.
 The petitions for sidewalk on Grove
 street, from Central avenue to Willow
 street; for a sidewalk on East Porter ] street; for the grading and laying of
 sidewalks on Vine, Wood, Ward and
 Johnson streets, from Waterville to
 Falrvlew streets, were set down for a hearing before the board in two weeks.
 The petition for watering trough on
 Union square was referred to com
 mlttee consisting of Commissioners Coughlan and Tracy, who will confer ] with the water board.
 The following petitions were referred
 to the city engineer for an estimate of costs: For a crosswalk on Hillside avenue, at Waterville street; crosswalk on Bank street, at Washington avenue; for relief from surface water, at 799 North Main street; for grading South Wilson street from the end of Washing ton avenue; for sidewalks on Seymour street; for the opening of a new street
 through the Tracy land from South

 surface water on Burton and Summer streets.
 Application of E. G.. Main for posi- | tion under the street inspector was or
 dered on file.
 City Engineer Cairns was instructed
 to construct manhole in front of the Fl. w. Scoville house on West Main

 Mayor Webster, Commissioners Tracy
 and Coughlan were appointed a com
 mittee to ascertain under what terms
 the stone can be crushed at the Cheshire
 notch, now that the Meriden road has changed owners.
 Commissioner Kelley advised the
 board to go slow in the expenditures or
 it would find itself in the same predica-
 ment as last year, when the appropria-
 tions ran out in August. The board
 reconsidered it's action at former
 meeting dispensing with the services of
 watchman and decided to retain him. There was only one bid for the con-
 struction of sewer in North street, and
 the contract was awarded to Edward McManus.

THE BEHRINe SEA ARBITRATION

English Commissioners Trying to Drag in
 Show Spirit in the Discussion The
 Sinking of the SuItan's Pleasure Launch
 Said to Have Been Plot Against His
 Gladstone Hearty Again-other
 News Items.
 PARIS, April 6.-M. Dupuy, ~a new Premier, will emphasize in the Chamber of Deputies at the next meeting that the Panama canal scandals must not prevent Parliament from fulfilling its duties to the people He will also impress upon the Chamber that the Cabinet will undertake to ensure everybody full liberty of action ill the coming elections.
 The Chamber of Deputies will be asked to consent to the separation of the Liquor Reform bill from the budget on condition that the Senate will discuss the measure speedily as a special bill. The Senate will be asked to pass the bill taxing Bourse transactions. The coulisse, or unauthor- ized brokerage system. will not be sup pressed, but provision will be made to bet ter regulate outside dealings, and fresh con ditions will be imposed upon foreign spec ulators, with view to suppress unau- thorized transactions.
 It is believed that the Chamber of Depu- ties will pass the budget by Saturday, in which case the Legislature will adjourn until the 24th inst.
 The Senate will then discuss the budget, which, it is to be hoped, will be passed by the end of the month.
 There is no pronounced hostility toward the new Ministry, but there is a general feeling of indifference ins the Hobbies and elsewhere.
 The Paris dailies are almost unanimous in describing the new cabinet as weak and mediocre. NJ. de Cassagnac says: Ut is not government, it is salad" The Cau- lois predicts that President Carnot will be- come the victim of the situation that he has created

MANY TURKS DROWNED.
The Sultan's Steam Yacht Cut in Two
 and Sunk.

CoNsTANTINoPIE, April 6.-Later infor- nation concerning the sinking of the Sultan's steam launch has given rise to rumors of plot against the Sultan's life.
 The Sultan had gone to the Kiosk of the old Seraglio to worship the mantle of Mahommed and other relics. After his devotions he ate his evening meal and left by a land route for the Yildiz Yiosk The plate used at the meal was placed on the steamer which was to carry to the palace the members of the imperial household. The launch collided with a steamer inn mediately after leaving her moorings, it is said. The launch was cut almost in two and went to the bottom. Few of the pas sengers were saved.
 The Sultan has commanded that provis' ion be made from his civil list for the families of the unfortunate ones whc were drowned
 The censors are suppressing all reportI of the disaster to the palace steamer, anG journals printing stories of the calamit! have been seized by the authorities.

The Telegram goes for State Printer
Freeman without gloves. It says: "Mr.
Freeman seems to have franchise OF an
everlasting kind on the State printing
business, and 1t is astonishing that some
of the big printing houses about Provi-
dence should not have chance to COM
pete with the Central Falls printing fac
tory, which has Just been incorporated
with the full Freeman family as the direc-
tory. This is one of the big and costly
abuses which had arisen In Rhode Island

ru = and plunder OF the peoples funds

THE CAMPANiA'S TRIP.

The time made by the Campania on her
maiden trip, days, II hours aud "a min
ntes, over course of 2,s6s knots, is a
remarkable achievement and the aston
ishment of the whole shipping world.
The next best trip to Sandy Hook from
Queenstown was that of the New York,
of the American Lines days, 10 hours
and 81 minutes. This record, II was
thought, would stand.
Balancing back at the records OF the
past few years, the development OF ocean
travel lisa subje,t entitled to the most
serious consideration. Great progress
made in the building of these huge g7ey:
hounds, as ysl-ssfn the machinery which
makes psasees up the time-reducing engines has
been achieved.
1t is only natural that Mr.. Vernon II.
Brown and the American sympat hizers
with the Cunard Line should be jubilant.
To some miods the different OF two
hours Is OF little moment, but to the COM
mericai man, bent on business, the time
Is very valuable.
In the present age OF rivalry between
steamship companies. the time difference
means gain OF thousands OF dollars In
receipts to the lucky line. As against
those who are Indifferent there are others,
largely In the majority, who view the
feat OF the Campania with more than or
binary satisfaction.
The engineers statement that the cam
panta was not pushed indicates that her
officers do not risk the liyes Of passengers
in endeavorina to make a new record.
II after the Companies magnificent
performance one OF the beautiful steam
ships OF the American Line should excel
1t, the enthusiasm of this country would
exceed all bounds. But on the return
trip this feet member OF the Cunard line
may lower her own record, thus making
its attainment even more difficult than
now.
