B. union at the Grand opera house last
evening was attended by an enormous
crowd. The doors were opened early
and soon the opera house was filled.
A short program preceded the even
ing address.
The orchestra rendered an excellent
selection, a medley including national
and popular airs. This was followed by
a reading. in which Mr.. Hugh McMa-
nus. the reader, showed excellent abil-
ity.
A recitation by Miss Nellie Boucher
completed the program. This little
miss is an elocutionist of an ability
which is wonderful in one so young.
She is not yet eleven wears of age, but
her grace and her excellence of deliv-
cry won her perfect storm of ap-
plause, She recited Teddy O'Rourke. !"
In response to the applause she recited
"a Sisters Sacrifice"
Among those on the stage and in the
boxes were ex-Judge Rufus S. Pickett,
James Dooley, George Dooley, James p.
Landers, Henry G. Newton, Captain
Frank Lovejoy, Major William A. Lin

church then introduced Rev. Father
Cleary of Minneapolis, Mimi, who was
the speaker Of the evening. Father
Cleary is president of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence union of America He
said that such scenes inspired the tenn
perance orator. The audience did cred
it to the City of Elnls. Connecticut
is the banner state of temperance work.
1t was the first state that saw the ne
cessity of a concentrated effort The
drink habit was a curse to the wage
earners. 1t destroyed his manhood,
physically, mentally and morally. It
cost one hundred and twenty millions
Of dollars in the United States to pay
the drink bill, more than that Of all
the churches.
The work done by the societies
throughout the United States was noted
by the speaker, who closed by a stir
ring appeal for all men to become tenn
perance workers.

mot UNKIND TO M'KINLEY
SENATOR CHANDLER REPUDIATES
EXPRESSIONS ACCREDITED 10 HIM.

He Says the Party Should Begin It's New
Career Sustained by High Principles
Representative Grosvenor Says That Re-
peatinG Lie Does Not Strengthen 1t.
Washington, March 22.-United States
Senator w. e. Chandler, in a commu-
nication to the Post, asserts that an
interview which that paper had with
him on the 10th inst. led to much mis-
representation of it's terms. '"The New
York World" he writes, published
with quotation marks words I never
used I said nothing unkind of Mr.. Nc
I<inley personally, but called attention
to certain methods of certain of his
managers and protested against their
adoption"
A particular point in the communica-
tion is to the effect that the interests
of the republican party would be seri-
ously injured by demanding and re-
ceiving large contributions in: anyone's
favor from the representatives of pro-
tected industries. Concluding his re-
marks and predicting that the party

try, Mr.. Chandler says:
THE party should begin it's new ca
reer sustained by high principles and
free from corrupt practices. 1t will be
a fatal mistake soon to be grievously
punished if we make a dishonest start" :"
Senator Chambers letter was shown
to Representative Grosvenor, who said:
Repeating lie does not strengthen
it or add to it's vile character. All the
parties charged deny the truth Of it,
and nobody, / think, believed the origi-
nal and none will the repetition"

WERE MUCH IN EVIDENCE
DELEGATES TO CONTENTION ARE
ARRITING IN NEW YORK CITY.

The Morton Men Predominated Yesterday
and His Chances of Nomination Were
Glowingly Set Forth--There Was a Num-
ber of Gubernatorial Booms Brought
Forth-Plank for Protection.
New York, March 22.-The majority
of the delegates to the republican con-
vention which will convene on Tuesday
to elect delegates at large to the ma
tional convention have reached the city.
They were much in evidence at the diff
ferent hotels to-day. The Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel was the Mecca of the dele.
gates, and the lobby was alive with
politicians discussing political affairs.
Neither Chairman Hackett Of the
state committee nor Thomas C. Platt
was to be found to-day, and this fact
caused much comment. 1t was learned
that Mr.. Hackett was confined to his
room with slight illness. Late in the
day the fact leaked out that Senator
Platt was confined to his bed owing to
somewhat serious accident which
happened Friday evening. Mrs. Platt,
VINO is heavy woman, suffered an at
tack of vertigo while standing in her
room. Mr.. Platt, who was near her,
endeavored to prevent her from fall
ing. Mrs. Platt fell into her husbands
arms SO suddenly that it took the ex-
senator off his feet and his side struck
against projecting piece Of furniture.
Some say that Mr.. Platt received a
fra n nf of HI viii Ir,f 81
say he was only severely bruised and
shaken up. At any rate, he has been
| unable to leave his room for two days.
The principal topic to-day was the
presidency. Morton men predominated
and the chances Of the governors nom-
ination were glowingly set forth. There
was an oninous silence when the
Raines bill was referred to, but no one
doubted it's final fate, all conceding it
would receive the governors approval
| A number Of gubernatorial booms
were brought to town by leading dele
gates, but discussion upon the question
did not assume any definite shape. AL
though the platform Of the convention
has not been decisively passed upon BY
the party leaders the main features
have been drawn up and sanctioned.
The leading feature will be the finan-
cial plank, which will be a strong dec
laration in favor Of honest money. In
addition to expressing unalterable op-
position to free silver at Is to or any
other ratio except of an international
agreement it will insist on the main
| tanning Of the public faith. In this re-
| spect it will be a far more pronounced
expression than any other financial
plank adopted thus far during the presi-
Dental canvass.
| The tariff plank will be a strong dec
Iaration in favor of protection to AM
erican industry and for reciprocity.
Another plank will endorse Governor
Morton's candidacy for the presidency,
setting forth his qualities as a busi-
ness man, representing business inter-
ests.
The name of Major Mckinley is not
likely to be brought forward, but if
it does come up the leaders say It will
be in a very feeble way. The Raines
bill, it is said, will not be touched upon.
but the greater New York bill is likely
to come in for consideration.

Spurns q Fortune.

Bridgeport, March 22.-Charles AL
word, once well known resident Of this
city, yesterday refused absolutely to ac-
cept a fortune left him by his mother,
and left here without leaving his ad-
dress. Mrs. J. e. D. Alvord died on
Wednesday. She left only one son,
Charles, and six grandchildren. Charles
has been a rover for many years, and
was improvident and shiftless. His
mothers estate is valued at s10O, 900, and
half of this she bequeathes to him.
He is a recluse.

Duel With Sabres.

Rome, March 22.-The duel between
General Mocenni, ex-minister Of war,
of the chamber of deputies, growing out
of wrangle in the chamber during
the discussion of the credits asked for
by the government took place this
morning. The weapons used were
sabres. General Mocenni proved him
self the better swordsman and wounded
his opponent in the face. Honor being
thus satisfied the duellists became
reconciled.

Trains Running.

Waterbury, March 22.-The first train
that passed over the Hinchecliffe bridge
since the most recent freshet steamed
over at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Since then there has been a steady
stream of freight trains going in both
directions. These trains had been
blocked for three days. One hundred
car loads of sand and gravel from Union
City were dumped around the central
pier, which was so badly undermined
by the water.

ARBITRATION IS FAVORED
QUESTION RECEIVING THE CON-
SIDERATION OF THE QUEEN.

the Memorial Which Was Passed at the
Recent Demonstration in Queens Hall
What the Memorial Says.
London, March 22.-Lord Salisbury
has written a letter to Sir James Stans-
field, who was chairman of the recent
demonstration in Queens hall in favor
of the principle of arbitration in all
disputes with the United States, ac-
knowledging the receipt of the memo
rial adopted at the meeting. In his let
ter Lord Salisbury says:
Il am glad to be able to inform you
that this question is receiving the con-
sideration of her majesty's government
and that proposals in the direction in
dicated by the memorial are now be-
fore the government Of the United
States.''
The memorial referred to contained
the following:
Without expressing any opinion
upon pending controversies we would
earnestly press the advisability OF
promptly concluding some treaty ar
rangement by which all disputes be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States could be referred for adjudica-
tion to some permanent tribunal rep
resenting both nations and uniting
them in the common interest of justice
and peace"

PRIEST ATTACKS GLADSTONE.

Than Friend to Ireland.
Waterbury, March 22-The Rev. W.
J. Slocum, pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, made an at
tack upon English staten1en and Glad
stone in particular for the last fifty
years. He said that during the last
half century Ireland had been the tail
of the English political kite. The only
question with the English leaders had
been the advancement of their own in
terests. Even Gladstone was more of
an English politician than sincere
friend of ireland. He added: ITO my
mind Gladstone, in his history for the
last fifty years, is the most insincere
of public men and the greatest hypocrit
of the century.
