GREAT DEMAND FOR TICKETS
OUT-OF-TOWN TICKETS NOT SOLD
VIII BE PITHDRAJyN TO-lIoRROV.

Mr.. George Chadwick Stock, Boston's
Great Conductor, WIN Participate
Special Train Service for Hartford.
The confidence Of the Gounod festival
committee in its ability to pack the
armory on the occasion of the concerts
on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon
{ and evening Is shown in the fact that
tomorrow all tickets on sale in the
cities and towns about New Haven will
be called in. Another exhibition of
nerve was shown in the refusal to sell
Il. M. Brown g. Co, 1000 tickets to dis
tribute among their patrons, This
firm, with many other business houses,
look upon the festival as an event
worthy this community's hearty sup
port from the standpoint of having
held here an annual musical festival.
Evidently there are men connected
with the Gounod society who believe
that by inaugurating q festival on the
broad lines of the present affair that its
very greatness will win success.
When it is remembered that many of
the soloists who participate receive
each more than a thousand dollars for
their services. the opportunity to hear
so great a treat for one dollar becomes
an occasion worth catering to.
In addition to the long list of talent
already announced Mr. George Chad
1 wick Stock yesterday informed the
committee by letter that he would be
present and conduct the rendition OF
Max Heinrich's Lochinvar.
Arrans emnts were completed yester-
day for special train service after the
Saturday evening concert on the New
Haven and Hartford road as far as
Hartford
Tomorrow it is expected that a spec
ial train will be arranged for the Wa
terbury visitors
The sale of tickets yesterday at M.
Steinert & Sons was greater than that
of any previous day, and if it continues
to grow by Friday there will only be
gallery seats available.
However, there isn't a poor seat in
the armory, as the immense chorus and
exceptionally fine voices of the soloists
will fill its every corner.
Friday nights program will be as
follows:

From the Board.

Hartford, April 14.-Director Boil
mann of the board of directors of the

ton to Governor Coffin.

an ex-chief of police of New Haven.

taken advantage of by many prominent
party leaders from city and country to
meet informally and exchange views and
experiences of a political character. Pot
ter Palmer was unanimously Endorsed for
the German mission and the President was
requested to make the appointment.
Peoria and Springfield are contestants
for the State convention, with a predom-
mating sentiment in favor of the whisky
city. The general sentiment of the COM
mitteemen was in favor of late State
convention, which would mean early in
June, in opposition to the April conven-
ton of the Republicans. The wishes of
Governor Altgeld will De carried out in
this respect, as he will again be the stand
ard-bearer OF the Democracy of Illinois.
The members of the executive commit
tee talked freely on the Presidential NOM
ination question, with particular refer
ence to Cleveland and Morrison. A ma
jority of the committee were vigorously
outspoken in their opposition to the Presi-
dent being nominated again, basing their
objections mainly on the third term idea.
All the anti-Cleveland committeeman are
strong supporters of Morrison. The oppo-
sition of the State committee to Cleveland
was expected as the logical sequence of
the breach between the Governor of Illinois
and the President.

creased it by $50, ,76o, the two items of in
crease being $4,000 for fees and expenses
of examining surgeons and $2760 for rent
OF pension agencies. As it viii be re-
ported to the Senate the bill will carry
SAL ,37s, $50. For the current year Sal 1881, :
$40 was appropriated.
As this bill passed the House it provided
that during the fiscal year 1897 whenever
any claim for pension under the act of
June 20, 1890. has been or should be re-
jected, suspended or dismissed and a new
application shall have been filed and a
pension shall hereafter be allowed in such
claim, such pension shall date from the
time OF the filing of the first application.
The Senate committee struck out the limi-
tatlon confining such action to the fiscal
year 1897 and made the provision general
in its application until the law may be re-
pealed.
A net increase of $204S has been made in
the bill for the support of the Military
Academy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-Repre-
sentative Grove L. johnson appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Immigra-
tion and Naturalization to-day and in the
course OF his long argument declared that
the influx OF the lower classes OF Europe
and Asia was responsible for most, if not
all, of our labor troubles. He urged the
passage of bill absolutely prohibiting
immigration of all laborers into this coun-
try. 1t was manifested in the committee
that several members were disposed to
disapprove the adoption of so radical a
measure.
Bills were introduced to-day as follows !:
BY Barham-To establish lighthouse
and fog signal at Point Gorda, Hum
boldt County, Cal.
BY Hilborn-For relief of settlers on the

BELKNAP NOT LIABLE.
But He Had No Right to Usmrp the Patent
of ScliJd.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-In the
Supreme Court to-day Justice Gray an
nounced the opinion and Judgment OF the
court upon the appeal of George 4.
Belknap, an officer in the United States
army. from the judgement of the Circuit
Court of the Northern district of Califor-
MIA in favor of George E. Schild ct al. The
latter were owners of patent caisson gate
used by Belknap in prosecution of the
Government work without permission OF
or compensation for the owners. They
sued for an injunction and accounting.
The court granted the injunction and fixed
damages of 10000.
Justice Gray stated that the invention
being used by an officer of the United
States for the common defense and gen.
eral warfare, an Injunction could not lie
against him, neither could damages, the
only damages proved being those in be-
half of the United States, for which he
could not be held liable. The Judgment of
the lower court must be reversed, with in
structions to dismiss the bill without
prejudice to suit at law against the
officer for damages or against the United
States in d court OF claims.
Justices Field and Harlan dissented,
holding that the fact that the defendant
was an officer of the United States gave
him no more right to appropriate mans
property without his consent than pri-
vate citizen possessed.

Two Women of Ohio Who Possess Relics
That Belonged to the Father of
His Country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-Secre-
tary Smiths mail to-day contained letter
from Virginia S. Washington and Mary L.
Washington of Portsmouth. Ohio, stating
that they had proof that they were de-
scendants of General George Washington
and had in their possession several relics
that belonged to the Father of his Country.
These include a tortoise-shejl snuff box
given Thomas Jefferson by Washington
and subsequently returned to the WASH
ington family; toddy-spoon, Washing
tons Freemason's apron, Bible. gold
headed cane and cavalry saddle. 1t is
also asserted that they had sword and
cane belonging to Washington for which
Congress at one time agreed TO make a
handsome donation, provided they were
presented to the Nation. These valuable
relics, they say, were intrusted to Con-
gresham Summers presumably of Vir-
ginia), who served in the Twenty-seventh
and Twenty-eighth Congress, and who,
they say, presented them to Congress in
his own name.
The heirs assert that they afterward
received letter of thanks from Congress,
but that the letter was unfortunately lost
by their relative, Samuel T. Washington,
who s'died among strangers in Texas, +"
and that they have not received the do
nation. They ask Secretary Smith to
obtain for them copy of the missing let
ter and to see that justice is done them.

Meeting of the Ohio Republican Delega-

Meeting of the Ohio Republican DeLega-
tion ia Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-All the
Republican members Of the Ohio delega-
ton in Congress, with the exception of
Senator Sherman and Representatives
Watson, Fenton, Dewitt and Beach, met
tonight in the apartments of Representa-
tive Grosvenor to discuss the prospects of
Major Mckinley for the nomination of his
party at st. Louis. 1t was stated after the
meeting that Senator Sherman was not
expected to be present, and of the other
absentees one was sick and three were out
of town. The object of the meeting was
to indorse Major McKinIey's candidacy,
but this was not done, and probably will
not be done by the delegation on the
ground that there is no necessity for it,
after Mckinley has been approved as a
prospective presidential nominee by the
Ohio Republican State Convention. The
strength of Mckinley throughout the
country in comparison with that of the
other party candidates for the nomination
was discussed. the entire time of the meet
ing being consumed in this exchange of
views. 1t was decided that weekly meet
ings of the delegation should be held and
en- adjournment was taken until next Mon
day night at the same place.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. "a meeting
was held this evening of the Prohibition
Amendment League of Iowa at the State
House. There were present large num-
Der of the leading prohibition lights of the
State and about dozen mem pers of the
Legislature who are leaders in the cause
in that body.
The meeting was made up of about equal
numbers of women and men, and in very
short time the meeting developed into a
fight between the men and the women.
The women denounced the men because
some OF them, in the Legislature
two years ago, had voted for the muIct
law and now were declaring their fears
that if prohibition were resubmitted it
would be defeated. Representative Funk
made a speech in which ne resented
the imputations that had been made as to
the motives of the friends of prohibition
in the Legislature and left the meeting,
the ladies trying vainly to apologize. The
other members Of the Legislature were
almost az much offended.
The meeting tonight means that there
is no further hope of an organized fight by
the temperance forces of the State against
manufacturing of liquors IN the State or
IN favor of resubmission. It is the most
notable victory for the liberals in years.

says that the Hawaiian Government
should take steps at once to indemnify the
young Princess, who has now only mod
crate income, supplied by her father.
She is now with her father, A. s. Cleg-
horn, in the south of France, and Davies
says the Princess has not received six
pence since Queen Liliuokalani was re-
moved from the throne. He says in the
recommendation to the Harrison admins
tration the Hawaiian Minister urged thatin
the event of annexation the United States
should pay the Princess $150,000. AS an
nexation is no nearer than at the close of
the revolution, the Hawaiian Government.
Davies thinks, should give the Princess
some recognition at once. While in SYM
pathy with the deposed Qdeen and the
Princess, Davies does not think the
dynasty will ever be revived in Hawaii.

Right of Way Through the
Choctaw Nation Granted
to Railroad.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
An Appropriation Asked for the Fam.
lilies of Italians Killed in
Colorado.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 3.-The
House spent nearly the entire session in
committee of the whole to-day, discussing
three amendments to the District of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill. Two of these
amendments were agreed to, and the third
was pending when the committee rose.
The army appropriation bill for the
coming fiscal year was reported.
A bill was passed granting right of way
through the Choctaw Nation to the Ar
kansas and Choctaw Railroad Company.
The Senate free-coinage substitute for
the House bond bill was received and re-
ferred under the rules to the Committee
on Ways and Means.
A message from the President asking a
reasonable appropriation for the families
of the four Italians killed last spring in
Colorado was referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
The correspondence which accompanies
the message consists of letters exchanged
between Baron Fava and the Department
of State and Governor Mcintyre of Colo
rado. Baron Fava, March 13, 1895, the day
following the lynching. called it to the at
tention of the State Department on the
basis OF newspaper accounts.
Immediate action was taken by Acting
Secretary Uhl to ascertain the facts in the
matter. This was SO satisfactory to Baron
Fava that he repeatedly expressed his be-
lief that the Federal Government would
not hesitate to do all that could be done to
bring the guilty parties to justice. Under
instruction from Baron Fava, the italian
Consul never made an investigation of the
circumstances attending the lynching and
also the political status of the victims.
Without finishing the consideration oi
the District of Columbia bill the House al
1850 P. NJ. adjourned until tomorrow.

new WORKERS PROTEST,
They Do Not Desire to Part
With Ballipgton Booth and
His Energetic Wife.
Resolutions Adopted at Meeting at
Which Many Distinguished Per-
sons Were Present.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 3.-The meet
ing tonight to protest against the re-
moval of Commander and Mrs. Ballington
Booth from the leadership of the Saliva
tion Army in this country, filled the nam
floor of Carnegie Music Hall comfortably
full of the friends of the deposed leaders.
Chauncey M. Depew presided, and minis
ters of almost every denomination were
present
Mayor Strong sat at the right of the
chairman and made an address, as did
also Bishop Andrews, Rev. DR.. Strong,
William E.. Dodge and Rev. DR.. Bradford.
Mr.. Depew opened his address by reading
a telegram from Bramwell Booth, chief of
staff, to the effect that General Booth was
now in India, but that the recalling of his
son was intended as no discourtesy. With
this little prelude the speaker went on to
say that that was all very well, but that
New Workers had a way of doing things
and saying things without much re-
gard as to what London thought
about it. This was not done,
he said. in any Dragging spirit,
but in the interest of letting the kindred
across the sea know that the infant hero
hao views of its own. Mr.. Depew then
eulogized the great work of Commander
Booth and his followers in the army, and
explained in his felicitous way just why
there was such objection to the removal of
Commander and Mrs. Booth. He had his
audience with him, and every mention of
the two names around which his remarks
were woven brought out storms of ap-
plause. Other speakers followed in SIM
liar vein.
Resolutions were then introduced and
adopted urging, if consistent with the best
interests of the whole world, ''that Com
mander and Mrs. Booth be allowed to re-
main in the positions in which they have
been so abundantly blessed by God; in
which they have won the honor, gratitude
and love of the American people and have
led on with inspiring zeal all the members
OF the army IN their rescue work.

Concerns of Which William e. Wheeiock
Was at the Head Are Forced
fo the Will

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 3.-William g..
Wheelock 81 Co., piano manufacturers at
One Hundred and Forty-ninth street and
Third avenue, Mott Haven. and % East
Fourteenth street, assigned to-day. They
also have interests in the concerns at
Norfolk, Richmon and Portsmouth, Va,
Chicago, Denver, Pittsburg and Water
bury, Conn.,, which were considered as
branches.
Mr.. Wheelock has also been president
of the Weber Piano Company of New
York and vice president of the Stuyvesant
Piano Company OF New York. Business
has been dull for a year past, and large
part of their capital was tied up in their
diversified interests and in plants. The
immediate cause of the assignment is that
the firm is unable to meet obligations
assumed by the firm for the account of
the Weber Piano Company.
The Stuyvesant Piano Company, 202-206
East One Hundred and Seventh street, ap-
piled for receiver to-day and Robert f.
Tilney, the treasurer, was suggested by
the officers for temporary receiver. The
company was INCORPORATED in April, 1886,
with capital stock of $4,000. The liza
bilities are $4S,0 900 aud the nominal assets
$4,000.
Application was made for receiver for
the Weber Piano Company to-day. 1t is
JnOugnt the assets are SuIHclent TO meet
the liabilities at fair valuation. Dull
trade is given as the cause of the failure.
William Foster, the vice-president. was
suggested for receiver. The liabilities are
about $364, 600; assets at least $500 con-
sisting of factory mortgaged for 100000
and eight lots in Seattle, Wash. William
E. Wheelock is president.
Justice Lawrence this afternoon ap-
pointed William Foster, one of the petit
rQ-
ceiver of the Weber Piano Company, with
bonds of $4,000, and appointed Robert f.

SYMPATHY FOX BAYARD.
The Enabussador EalogiSed by Some ol
the English Papers.

LHe Em0ussdd0T Eut0FtzeG 0y some OF
the English Papers.
LONDON, ENGLAND, Feb. 3.-The Daily
News will tomorrow comment upon the
fact that ambassador Bayard has issued
to the press his correspondence with the
Washington Government on the speeches
delivered by him at Edin burgh and Bos-
ton, England, which called forth the reso-
luton of censure adopted blythe Committee
on Foreign Relations of the House of
representatives.
The paper says that Mr.. Bayard has
shown by his action that he is as much
without fear as his ancient namesake, the
Chevalier Bayard, who was without fear
and without reproach. 1t adds that many
OF those who read the correspondence with
candor will think that he is almost equally
without reproach. 1t concludes:
He makes merry at the expense OF
Congress. We firmly believe for the sake
OF our kindred people that the affair will
amount to nothing. All the same MIR.
Bayard had better not do it again."
In its comment on the subject the Morn
ing Post displays sympath y for Mr.. Bay
ard. ltcontends thataccording to the view
OF the Republican majority the busi-
ness OF the ambassador in Europe is to de-
clare that the American people are the
highest product of civilization and to dare
anybody else to disprove this opinion az
their peril. 1t adds that the affair is ap-
parently an illustration of the humors of
the Presidential election.
The Standard will say that there is q
painful want of dignity in the manner in
which Mr. Ravard,s otfioial or;+;o, AZ.
played their resentment. The resolution,
the dispatches to the embassy and the
curtness with which Mr.. Bayard is taken
TO task, exhibit the harsher side of public
lie IN America in an unpleasing light.
The paper expresses sympathy with the
ambassador and say it hopes that if he
retlres America will share the regret that
this country will feel.
