 No one can enter or leave the camp without being challenged by the guard on duty. The corporal is then called and if the subject is equal to the oc- casion he or she is permitted to pass inside or outside the lines. If one wants to catch a train and only has a few moments to get away from camp it is a good plan to make sure you are outside the lines. The Courier" rep resentative on leaving the camp start ed on a run to catch the train, which was almost due. A voice called out in loud tones, Halt" A guard ap- peared and shouted in strong voice Corporal of the Guard No. g." This parsonage appeared, but did not seem to recognize the prisoner.

COLLISION ON EEM STREET.

A Dixwell Avenue Car Struck Carriage
 Last Evening and Injured the Occupants
 Suit will be Brought Against the Com
 pany.
 There was collision on Elm street last night about o'clock between car 56 of the Dixwell avenue line and car riage in which were William Doolittle and Miss Austin, two residents of Woodbridge. The carriage was driven out of Temple street and across the tracks right in the way of the ap- preaching car, which was going at a fast rate of speed. The motorman fail- ed to check the car in time and it struck the carriage with great force, throw ing the occupants out and badly wreck ing the vehicle.
 The accident occurred near Dr. Car malt's residence, and the injured couple were taken into the office, and as Dr.. Carmalt is out of town Dr. Stetson was summoned. Both of the occupants of the carriage were badly bruised, but their injuries are not serious, and a hack was procured and they returned in that to their homes in Woodbridge. They will bring suit against the Gen. terville railroad as the car, they claim, was proceeding at a faster rate of speed than the law allows at the time of the collision, and was beyond the control of the motorman.

PATCHEN WON WITH EASE
GENTRY VAS NO MATCH FOR THH
 FAST FLYER, YESTERDAY.

The Word Was Given on Even Terms in "A
 Heavy Wind and Track That Precluded
 Any Record Breaking-Gentry Was Tired
 Out in the Third Heat.
 Chicago, Aug. 22-Joe Patchen won three straight heats from J. R. Gentry at Washington park to-day and won them with the greatest ease. There was a strong wind and Starter McCar- thy delayed the first heat of the big event until after the second heat of the 2:26 class trot.
 After scoring a couple of times Me- Carthy gave the word on even terms, the heavy wind and track precluding the possibility of breaking a record. To the half they raced neck and neck, when McHenry called on Gentry and he forged to the fore, abetted by the whip. Curry sat stiM and in ths stretch made his call. Patohen re- sponded gamely and won easily in 2:O5A, with Gentry length to the bad. The time by quarters in this, the fast est heat. was:
 Quarter. :321z, half. 1:o211s: three-quar- ters, 1:327a; mile, 2:05A.
 In the second heat Patchen lead all the way. McHenry went to the whip at the half but Gentry could not req spond. Curry pulled Patchen up, jog- ging home in 2:O7A. After this heat Curry announced that he was going for the record, and he would not wait for Gentry. The third heat was easily Patchen's, as Gentry had tired under punishment in the previous heat on coming into the stretch
 Altogether the race was a great dis appointment to the 12,OOO people pres- ent. At no time did Gentry act as though he had a chance to win a heat. Only one of the regular races on the card was finished, the others being postponed.

NEW HAVEN cAIEDoNIAN CLUB.
Reception to Prominent C1ansman Held
 Last Evening.

Reception to Prominent C1ansman Held
 Last Evening.
 There was very full attendance at the regular meeting of the New Ha- ven Caledonian club last evening, and after the regular business was disposed of an incident occurred that changed the regular meeting into ovation to Clansman Peter Stirling, one of the founders of this organization. About o'clock the chief called the club to it's feet as Clansman W. c. Mcintosh ac- companied by Clansman Stirling en- tered the hall Clansman Mcintosh in- troduced Clansman Stirling to the chief, and in a few well chosen words spoke of the record which he had made as a. Scotsman in this city and of the great interest he had always taken in the club during the past twenty-five years.
 Clansman Stirling was cordially well comed by Chief R. D. Pryde, who said that no Scotsman was more highly es- teemed by the New Haven Caledonian club than was Clansman Stirling. He trusted that in the future, as in the past, they could still have his aid and cooperation, for unlike some other or ganizations of a similar character, the younger members felt the necessity of the assistance of these older heads in guiding the destinies of the New Haven Caledonian club. Ex-Chief Robert Mac Arthur spoke very highly of Clansman Strings work in the past and was glad to know that his great interest in the clubs affairs was going to be con- tinued.
 The meeting was duly closed, although the members remained until midnight, refreshments and cigars being furnish ed in abundance. Songs and recitations were given by the members and very pleasant time was spent, all being well pleased with the informal reception given an old clansman who was well worthy of the honor.

Access Has Been Gained by Ambassador
 Eustis to the Prisoner.

Eustis to the Prisoner.
 Washington, Aug. 22.-The acting sec retary of state authorizes the statement that information has been received from Ambassador Eustis in response to urgent instructions cabled him some three week ago that the record of the proceedings and evidence in the court martial of MT. Waller at Tamatave is expected to reach Paris toward the end of this month. MT. Eustis also reports that access to MT. Waller has been ac- corded to him, after repeated and ur- gent requests made on the reiterated orders of the department.
 The department has instructed MT. Eustis to delegate competent deputy to visit the prison where Mr Waller is confined and confer with him. It is hoped that the production of the evi- dence before the court martial will en- able the department to form a judg- ment touching the conviction of MT. Waller.
 The international right of this govern ment to demand the evidence upon which conviction is reached in order that it may determine its action is unquestionable, and is fortified by abundant precedent.

Favors International Agreement.

London, Aug. 22.-In the house of con- mons to-day Sir John Lang asked A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, whether in consonance with the views he had repeatedly expressed he would advise that the government invite the assembling of an international confer ence to obtain an agreement in regard to the currency. Mir. Balfour said he had always bee strongly in favor of an international agreement, but he had no right to pledge his colleagues to such an opinion, nor had he any reason for thinking such an agreement would re- suit at the present moment from an in ternational conference. A second abor- tive conference, he thought. would be very undesirable.

INTEREST IN V4LKYRYE.
It Has Not Abated as shown by the Crows
 Who View Her.

Who View Her.
 New York, Aug. 22.-Interest in Val kyrie III. remains unabated as shown by the crowds which congregate at Erie Basin dry dock in Brooklyn. The Eng fish boat is in a very unkempt state a. present. Riggers have her topmast bowsprit, boom and gaff placed but the standing rigging is not complete and the deck is filtered with miscellaneous stores and debris of the work. Scaf- folding hangs over her sides and is built up from the bed of the graving dock, and a force of men is at work scraping her sides and under-body pre- paratory to the application of paint and an anti-fouling preparation which is to be used below the water line
 MT. Glennie, the representative of Lord Dunraven, was at the dock to-day. Of the figures published yesterday and this morning purporting to give Valky- rie's dimensions, he said:
 While have pefrained from learning the figures myself, to be saved the ne cessity of humbugging any one, should say that not one of the figures given is right
 Speaking of the Defender and Valky- rie, MT. Glennie said:
 "Valkyrie is by no means a poor weather boat She can sail in light winds, but she will take what comes with Defender. It struck me when first saw Defender that she was too lightly rigged. Her experience the oth- CT day confirms me in that idea. If she can stand heavier spars and rigging, such as are needed in the weather we had in Tuesdays race, then she has a wonderfully designed hull for one of her size"
 MT. Glennie's manner indicated doubt on this point however.
 Valkyrie will in all probability come out of the dock on Monday and go down to the Hook and will then spend the fol- lowing two weeks in tuning upand get ting generally in racing trim.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
A Platform Written by Congressman Bryan
 Was Adopted.


 Was Adopted.
 Omaha, Aug, 22.-The democratic state convention met to-day. Hon. F. M. Davis acted as chairman. The fol- lowing nominations were made: For associae justice, Charles J. Phelps; for regents of the state university, A. T. Blackburn and Robert Kettle.
 A platform written by ex-Congress- man W. J. Bryan was adopted almost unanimously. A substitute embodying the coinage plank of the national pla-- form of 1892 received only six votes The platform as adopted reaffirms faith in the principles written in the declaration of Independence and emphasized by Jeff ferson and Jackson; reaffirms the decla- rations of the democratic convention of 1893 and then says:
 ''W believe that the restoration of the money of the constitution is now the paramount issue and insist that all parties shall plainly state their re- spective positions upon this question in order that the voters may intelligent ly express their preference. We, the refore, declare ourselves in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of IS to i as such coinage existed prior to 1873 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation such gold and sil- yer coin to be a full legal tender for all debts public and private.
 We send greeting to our democratic brethren throughout the union who are making such a gallant fight for the restoration of bimetallism and congrat- ulaite them upon their progress made.
 The platform favors legislation which will insure reasonable control by the state of corporations deriving powers and privileges from the state.
