Surprise At Boston.

Boston, July 1.-THE first news OF ex-
Governor Russells death was received
with almost absolute inoredulity on the
streets of this city. Even members of
the law firm with which he was asso-
ciated refused TO look upon the matter
seriously when asked IL they were able
TO verify the rumor Of the ex-governor
death. II was not until after the press
wires had been busy for some time that
veritication of the sad news was OBJ
tained, and there was no further hope
that the story was unfounded. The first
news was contained in the following
telegram to Joseph B. Russell brother
of the ex-governor, signed by Colonel
Harry +. Russell win found dead in
bed this morning. Death painless.
Probably heart disease. Start for Bos-
ton at once"
John w. Corcoran, who ran with Mr.
Russell on the state ticket four years
ago, says: Governor Russelrs death
will occasion profound sorrow in every
household In the commonwealth. His
career was so brilliant. his manner so
gracious and his personality 80 at
tractive that he was. without doubt, the
most popular man in the state. He gave
the best OF his years and the last Of his
days TO the service OF the party, loyal
at all times, he went 10 Chicago 20 make
q last appeal for Democracy. when its
life was threatened. Few know the Bit
ter disappointment that he experienced
because OF the platform adopted. and
the keen modification he felt on account
OF an unhappy incident that occurred"
Hon. George Fred Williams said: "He
had a very remarkable personality. He
was an honorable opponent under all
circumstances. In positions OF respon-
sibllity he always employed himself
with dignity, and never lost sight OF re-
vsponsibillty No doubt the intensity OF
his nature made political life n severe
tax upon his physical system. have
no doubt that the strain OF political
work sepped his vlgor and aggravated
his weakness"

Council Granted Permission to Cut
Down an Elm Tree.

The. Council held a special meeting yes
terday with the following members pres
ent: Messrs Gibson, Barbour, Mason,
Church and Thayer.
The petition of DIR. CD. Hssbrouck was
read by President Gibson, asking per-
mission to cut down large elm tree In
front OF the property recently purchased
by him on Hope street, north OF Rogers
Free Library. There has been much OPP
position by the citizens generally against
the cutting down of trees in our streets
as they form arches and shades and
heautify the town. Mr.. Samuel Norris,
Sr., appeared In opposition TO the cutting
down of the trees and very ably defended
the movement. He toll the Council that
during his business life here and all OF
those connected with him. he had never
asked the privilege of cutting down any
of the trees and he thought II univ ust
and uncalled for by the petitioners. Mr..
Norris argument was both able and fore
ible. When MIR. Norris closed DIR. Has
brock stated that as soon as the tree
could be removed he was going to erect
three story modern block and that the
tree he asked to have cut down was
detriment to the building and also 30
the letting OF the same. After short
consultation the petition of DIR. Has
Drouck was granted and the work Is to
tendent- of streets -Gorham,- under the
usual conditions.

council in relation to the building OF

near where the Neptune Boat Club are to
erect their club house.

house on the Hssbrouck property, petit
TONED the Council for permission to re-
move the building from Hope street

Chased by A Cruiser.

Boston, March 19-An officer of the
British steamer Ethelred, Captain Hop
kins, which arrived this morning from
Jamaican ports, reports that on March
II, on the outward passage from this
port to Jamaica, the steamer was
chased for an hour and half by a
Spanish cruiser. The Ethelred was
steaming about eight miles off Cape
Maysi, the eastern end of the island of
Cuba, on the way to her destination.
She was going about twelve knots an
hour, when a Spanish cruiser was
sighted, evidently on the lookout for a
supposed filibustering steamer. The
cruiser hoisted a flag and the fruiter
did likewise. The latter continued on
her way, but the warship started in
pursuit and kept up the chase for an
considerable time. The Spaniard
could not make over nine knots an
hour and was no match for the fruit
vessel. When first seen by the Ethel
red another cruiser was in company
with the aggressive one, but apparently
took no interest in the proceedings. No
shots were fired from the warShip as
the distance was too great for any dis
play of gun practice 1t is claimed
that as the Ethelred was outside the
three-mile limit the cruiser had no
right to attempt to stop her The Eth
elred obtained considerable notoriety
last summer by being fired upon off the
Cuban coast by Spanish gunboat.

Mr. Chiffon, dem, of Texas, spoke
against the resolutions in their present
form.
Mr. Caffrey, DEM, of Louisiana, OPP
posed the bestowal of belligerent rights.
There was no eidence to sustain the
statements made by the committee on
foreign relations in support of the reso-
lutions except accounts of atrocities
perpetrated twenty-five years ago and
extracts from history whose state
ments had been contradicted. He con-
tended that the right to accord bellig-
erent rights resided exclusively with
the executive branch of the govern
ment. The United States, he declared,
was bound by international law not to
NEEDLE in the affairs of Cuba. If the
United States did not cling to that law
it would be outlawed from the circle of
civilized nations.
He did not believe that state of war
existed in Cuba. The insurgents meth

JOINT COMMITTEE MEETS.
City and Town Representatives Discuss the
New Drawbridge.

The joint committee of the town and
city to consider the plans for the new
Quinnipiac river drawbridge was held
last evening in the board of public
works room. Commissioner Johnson
was elected chairman and Selectman
Farren secretary. j. r. Punderford,
electrician and engineer of the Fair Ha-
ven and Westville Street Railway COM
pany, was before the committee and
said that his company was willing to
pay fair share of the expense of build
ing the temporary bridge so that the
cars could run thereon. No action was
taken by the committee, which will
meet this afternoon with the New Ha-
ven Gas and the New Haven Water
companies in order to ascertain the
position of these corporations in caring
for their pipes during the construction
of the bridge. The meeting will be held
on Crown street at 2:30 o'clock. AS the
new bridge must be completed by De-
cember 81 of this year the joint COM
mittee will soon select a plan for the
draw and advertise for bids
There is not the slightest degree of
truth in the rumor that there is any
disagreement in the joint committee
said one of its members last evening.
