Connecticut People Pay Roundly For
What Legislation They Want.
New HAVEN, Conn, March S.-The
last general assembly of Connecticut
was famous for its schemes to secure
good paying political positions. Details
of the Hartford bridge scheme which
resulted in the payment of something
over $50, 900 for lobby purposes, have
already been published. Another lobby
scheme is now exposed. About eight
years ago a law was passed
providing for the abolition of
railroad grade crossings in various
towns in the state, The law provided
that the towns should bear a portion of
this expense and the railroad the re-
mainder. Early last session a bill was
introduced providing for the payment
tom rhe state treasury to the towns
which had paid for the abolition of
grade crossings the total sum they had
expended. This bill was carefully
manipulated and finally lobbied
through. The towns OF Wrantford,
Guilford, Madison and East Haven re-
ceived about $50, 900. OF this amount
the towns paid to the lobbyists 2 per
cent of the amount received and a con-
siderable additional sum-, the amount of
which is not known.

Several Families mt JPffersonville, Ind,
Put Under Its Influence by Robbers.
JEFFERsCXvlLLE, Ind, March s.
There was a wholesale chloroforming OF
residents by burg lars in this city during
the night. The entire~faihily of Frank
Briggs were put under the influence and
the house ransacked. A large amount
of money was taken by the burglars. 1t
was several hours before the family
could be revived. The house of Will
lam Quick was then visited and the
family chloroformed. Next the burg
lars visited Frank Bayer's home. Here
they chloroformed the entire family
but secured no plumber. 1t
is believed the burglars are the same
who assassinated Stephen Geer, and
lynching is among the possibilities if the
BURGLARS are caught.

Said the saltwater Man Is After His Old
Seat i'm the Senate.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.-The Tribune
has the following regarding the Mime
sofa senatorship:
Dwight M. Sabin is a pronounced
candidate for the United States senator
ship, to succeed William d. Washburn.
He has reached the determination to
enter the fight after a satisfactory ar
rangement of his business affairs. He
considers himself in better trim for the
contest than he wa at the time he de-
feated Window, because now he enjoys
good health, while then he was bed
ridden and was unable to lead his forces
in person, as he can now do. 1t is
the plan to secure the nomination this
fall, as candidate for the legislature, of
a large number of Sabin's friends in
various parts of the state-chiefy those
who supported him at the time of his
defeat by Washburn, but who have
been heard very little of in politics since
that time. Those of this class who are
elected will have charge of the senator's
interests in the legislature. 1t was less
than a week g that Mr.. Sabin finally
decided to become a full fledged candi-

The Australian Cable Conference Dis
cussed at Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Much inter-
DIST was expressed at the Capitol COLI
corning the news from Australia that
the authorities there are moving to Sc
cure cable connection with the United
States. THE Importance of this has been
emphasized by occurrences of the past
veal in the Hawaiian Islands. There IS
now a proposition before congress look
ing to the establishment of such a line,
but Senator Morgan, chairman OF the
senate committee on foreign relations,
said he had no doubt this government
would be willing to cooperate with the
Australian authorities in IN effort in
this direction. He said further:
81 expect to see the Pacific ocean BIZ
sected with a cable. A line has been
surveyed from u western coast to
Hawaii, and has been found to be per-
fectly feasible, and there is little doubt
that conditions beyond are likewise good.
A cable, such as is proposed would be
of great advantage to our mmerce
We ought to lose M opportunity to Il
troll the business of the Pacific, and if
we would take the proper steps we
would secure the rapidly increasing
trade of China and India as well as that
of the Pacific islands,"
He advanced the idea that the tariff
bill ought to be so framed as to discrim-
mate in favor of those countries, and
others issuing silver money, and thought
if this was done, that with the Nicar-
aqua canal built and a cable con-
structed, the United states would soon
be able to take the bulk of the trade
of those countries from Europe.
Senator Sherman conceded with Sen.
ntor Morgan as 70 the desirability of a
Pacific cable, but said that the unset
tied condition of affairs in Hawaii might
have the effect of delaying its construc.
