opening and closing time of the season
so that all games will commence April

The president of the league and the
acting chairman were authorized to ap-
point a committee on playing rules, not
to exceed three in number, which COM
mittee Is to be instructed to make a re-
port on it's work and any suggestion
or alteration it deems proper concern
ing the playing rules to the secretary
of the league at least thirty days prior
to the spring or schedule meeting.
Copies of this report are to be for
warded by the secretary to the respec-
tive club members at his earliest con-
venience, so as to enable all to be pre-
pared to discuss the amendments made
at the schedule meet. The constitution
was read section by section in order
that any change deemed advisable by
members might be offered.
In an interview President Young
said: THE talk about a cutting down
of the circuit or change in it, think,
is without foundation. The league has
lived five years under the agreement
made when the National League and
American Association came together.
The purchase of some of the st. Louis

THIS COUNTRY, NOT YEN EzUELA, TO
ARBITRATE WLTH ENGLAND.

United States the Protector of Weaker Sis
ter Republics on This Continental Grave
Responsibility-ven Must Abide by
the Decision of fArbiters-Justice Brewer
Probably Member of Tribunal.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Considerable
surprise is manifested in diplomatic and
official circles that the United States
and not Venezuela is the party of the
first part of the arbitration. 1T had
been supposed that the sole function of
this country was that of mediator, and
that Notwithstanding the forcible tone
of President Clevelands message to
congress, Venezuela was not to be sue
ceeded as principal by this country.
The attitude in which the United
States is now placed, it is claimed, par
takes largely of the position of a pro-
tector of the weaker sister republics of
the continent. This, in the opinion of
many skillfm diplomats, imposes a
grave responsibility on this country,
somewhat similar to that which Eng
lish statesmen have repeatedly endeav-
ored to fasten upon the United States
since the days of Canning.
1t is apparent that under the terms
of the agreement Venezuela cannot re-
sist the decree of arbitration, however
adverse to her extreme contentious it
may be, and the United States is
bound to see that the award is enforc-
ed. By this proposed Venezuelan
treaty it is conceded that new page
in American history has been turned
With regard to the arbitration, it is
anticipated that some time must elapse
before it's consummation. Justice
Brewer, the president Of the American
commission, will probably be an Amer
ican member of the tribunal. AS ex-
planned by the American commissioners
to-day, their efforts are not by any
means suspended, but will be redoubled
in order to completeth the evidence as soon
as possible so as to be in position to
reach ard announce a decision at any
time should the project for arbitration
from any cause fall through
The United States having taken the
matter entirely into its own hands will
undoubtedly spare no effort to gain
| decisive victory. The most eminent
counsel obtairable will necessarily be
retained Fortunately the executive
force of the commission, which under
Secretary Provost has developed so
much evidence hitherto overlooked by
either contestant, will be available, as
well as such experts as Prof. Burr.
Among the counsel likely of selection
will be James j. Storrow of Boston.
now leading counsel for Venezuela who
wculd have the advantage of Secre-
tary Olney's personal assistance and
continued friendship which has existed

CAPTURED IN NORTH BRANFoRD.
Hurley's Former Associates Take Him to
| the Police Station.


Patrick Hurley, who escaped from
the insane retreat at Middletown in
company was Castagnetti and Peters
last Friday evening, was captured last
night about 10 o'clock by for of his old
associates at the house of James Gahan
in North Branford. The young men
who captured the escaped convict are
Richard Hall, John Collins, James
Donlon, and Richard McDermott. They
went in search of Hurley and found
him at Gahan's, The young men told
Hurley that an officer was on his
this morning.
Having made Hurley believe this, it
was easy to induce him to get in the
carriage with them under pretense of
taking him to East Haven, where he
could take the train. Instead of going
to the railroad station the young men
drove to the Grand avenue precinct,
and gave Hurley up to the police, He
will be taken back to Middletown to-
day.
The young men will claim the re-
ward which was offered for Hurley's
capture
Henry Jackson "a colored man who
escaped from the insane retreat at
Middletown Tuesday morning, was
captured four miles below Middletown
that evening, and was taken back to
the institution. Jackson is a convict

lazy He was sent up from Bridgeport
and has served two years of his SEN
tence He is regarded as a dangerous
man.
Tuesday morning he scaled an eigh-
teen-foot wall and escaped, but it was
not until O'Clock in the afternoon that
the guards discovered that he was
gone.
The officials claim that the trustees
of the asylum will not give them a suf-
ficient number of guards to prevent es-
capes and to properly control the vic
iously insane convicts who are sent
from Wethersfeld. The accommoda-
tions for handling the insane nonvicts
are poor, in fact they are the same as
those provided for the care of other in
sane patients. Frequently desperate
convicts are sent to the asylum to be
treated for insanity, wher, as matter
Of fact, they are only shamming, and

The officials have frequently called the
attention of the trustees to this state
of affairs. but nothing has been done.

The Next Registrar.

For several years John P. Carney has
had the call on his party for the office
of general registrar and there has been
little opposition manifested to his re-
peated election. Men had come to look
upon his reelection as a foregone con-
clusion. Although Mr.. Carney's path.
as he has succeeded to the office year
after year, has not always been strewn
with roses, it has never, until this year.
been formidably obstructed. Yester-
day, however, the irrepressible deputy
registrar from the Seventh ward, John
]. Hogan, announced that he was In the
field in opposition to his superior Off
Ger. Hogan is a politician plentiful in
resources. and he will give Mr.. Carney
a good battle, If he does not win. He
has a large circle of friends in the so
cieties he has been a member of for
years, notably the Foresters. In addi-
tion to this Hogan has large follow
ing in the Seventh ward, the demo-
cratic stronghold, which, they claim,
kept up It's majority to a respectable
number at the recent election, while
Carney's ward, the Fifth, gave a re-
publican majority. This, the followers
of Hogan say, will have weight in the
convention. The fight will be a hot
one, with the contending foes on par.
in many if not all respects, as to meth
DDS of warfare and social status. The
result will be watched with interest.
Chairman James B. Martin of the sill
yer democratic town committee has
figured out how many delegates each
ward is entitled to in the coming city
and town conventions, the representa-
ton being based on the vote for gov
ernor in the last election.
The wards and the delegates each is
entitled to follow: First 2; Second, 5;
Third 8; Fourth, 8; Fifth, a; Sixth, s.
Seventh, 10; Eighth, A; Ninth, s; Tenth.
8; Eleventh, 5; Twelfth, s; Thirteenth.

MATE MILLER,S MURDERER.
Case of Henry Hewicker Before the United
States Court.


New York, Nov. 1.-THE case of
Henry Hewicker, the sailor accused of
the murder of Mate John Miller of the
schooner Rebeeca j.. Moulton, of Bos-
ton, in the harbor of Havana on jan
uary II, 1892, is again before Judge
Brown of the United States district
court Judge Brown and Judge La
combe had the case before them some
time ago, but they disagreed and 1t
was referred the United States supreme
court. That tribunal has sent the case
back to the court in this district and
as Judge Lacombe still fails to agree
with Judge Brown, he has withdrawn
from further consideration, the disposal
of which now lies solely with Judge
Brown.
Miller died in a Havana ship and
Judge Brown has held that the court
has no jurisdiction, the death having
occurred in foreign country. AS the
mates wound was inflicted on an AM
erican vessel, however, Judge Brown
holds that Hewicker was guilty of as
sault, but prosecution even for this he
regards as barred by the statute of
limitations On Monday next further
briefs will be submitted by Hewicker's
counsel and the government for the
courts consideration.

Object Declared to be Without Significance
In United States Foreign Affairs-Fleet
Has Remained Near Home to be Ready
for Action in Case of War With Spain
Consultation of Naval Officials.
Washington, Nov. 11.--Admiral
Bunce's squadron will go to Venezuela
in few weeks unless a radical depart
ure is made in the plans perfected to-
day at the navy department. where the
admiral discussed with his superiors tha
complex considerations that are un-
derstood to be inseparable from the
cruise.
The object Of Admiral Bunce's new
orders is declared to be without any
significance in the foreign affairs Of the
United States, but relates altogether
to the necessity of effective naval ad-
ministration. The great fleet which has
been concentrated in home waters since
last spring, ostensibly for the advan-
tages of evolution and drill in squad
ron formation, but confessedly as
precautionary measure against the pos
complications cannot be dispersed until
those conditions have ceased to exist,
nor is it feasible to maintain the ships
idle in the navy yards with the attend
ant expense for repairs always neces-
sary during says in home ports.
Admiral Bunce and all naval officers
have continually urged the necessity Of
keeping UP the drills at sea, but these
require base of operations free from
ice, easy of access, in which the whole
fleet can anchor without crowding and
where coal is cheap and good food
abundant
The Gulf of Mexico offers the most
admirable theater for such winter oper-
ations, but the authorities have agreed
that on account Of its nearness to Cuba
the presence of SO large a force In the
gulf would be misinterpreted at Mad
rid. When it was finally conceded that
the fleet must be held together and
that evolutions must be had the only
waters where the ship could be always
in readiness for hurried return to this
coast If needed were found in that part
of the Atlantic, near the mouth Of the
OHnoco, and at the entrance Of the
Caribbean Sea, well away from Ha-
vana. According to present under-
standing the fleet will be at Hampton
Roads most of December and will start
south before Christmas.

NEARLY KILLED ANOTHER.
Record of Train That Killed Two Men at
Greenfield.

Greenfield
Greenfield, Mass, Nov. lit seems
that express train No. 5, that killed two
men at Greenfield last night, nearly
caused another fatality east of Miller's s
Falls. u. S. G. Lunt of Baldwinsville
was passenger and was carried by
Baldwinsville. He failed to get off at
Athol or Orange. When the train was
a considerable distance east of Miller's
Falls, and running forty-five miles an
hour, Lunt fell from the train, rolled
down the bank and into Miller's river.
He thinks he must have laid there an
hour before recovering consciousness.
When ne did so he crawled up the bank
and along the track on his hands and
knees to the station. There he tainted
away and his groans were heard by
trainmen.
1t was over three hours after he fell
from the train before he reached Mil
ler's Falls. His nose was broken, his
tongue nearly severed and he was bad
" bruised all over. He was cared for
at Miller's Falls and taken home to-
day The physicians think he will re-
cover If he is not injured internally.

He Ceased His Interview to Extend the
Courtesies of the Day to the vanquished
Popocrat-Business Reviving-Tariff on
Wool and Lumber Would Increase Reve-
nue. and Not be Burdensome.
Speaking of the probability of an ex-
ira session of congress, Hon. N. D.
Sperry said yesterday afternoon: ut
will be of no advantage to the country
to call the new congress together next
spring If the silver senators are In a
position to block tariff legislation.
Mind you, do not say that these men
will do so; it is too soon to make any
prediction as to what they will do, but
we may judge from the past. 1t has
not been conclusively settled as to ma
jorities in the senate yet. Should the
gold men have enough to tie the silver
element, then Vice President Hobart
would have the decisive vote, which
would be all right. There is an i'm
perative demand for revenue to meet
the expenses of the government, which
is running behind at the rate of $2S7 per
minute, The first duty of a nation, as
we'll as an individual, is to pay it's
debts. The two great ways of raising
revenues are internal taxes and by a
tariff. For obvious reasons the former
method does not work well, while the
latter increases the revenue and at the
same time makes 1t possible to give a
larger number of men employment, de-
velops manufactures and puts money
into circulation.
THE amount of tax paid by an in
dividual under an equitable tariff law
would be slight Take, for instance, a
duty on wool. The amount used in the
clothes worn by a full grown man is
about three pounds. The amount of
tax paid would be very small indeed
to the one who wears them, but by free
wool the treasury of the United States
loses $32, 900 every year.
Free lumber costs almost as much
now as it did formerly and the nation
loses thirteen millions of dollars.
There are other instances-but here
is my friend Troup," said the congress
man as the leader of the silver forces in
Connecticut came up.
The greeting between the victor and
the vanquished was extremely cordial,
for they are warm personal friends.
The popocratic chairman smilingly sub
scribed to the defeat he had sustained.
and said: Mr.. Sperry, hope that pre-
dictions of the republican orators will
come true and we will have more pros
porous times"
Business will revive, I am sure, !"
said the congressman, 'and as soon as
men get hold of the money which must
necessarily be distributed In the con-
duct of business they will begin to
spend it and pay debts with it, thus
adding to the general prosperity of the
country"
With this the leaders parted good
naturedly, much to the disgust of sew
eral jehus who had watched them for
several minutes with much interest.
