port Church Last Evening.
Miss Kribonian, an Armenian lady,
who now resides at 16 Vernon street,
this city, and who came to this country
from Turkey about nineteen months
ago, was present at a meeting of the
Ladies' Foreign Missionary society of
Davenport church last evening. She
described life in Armenia and told of
the great work being done there by the
missionaries. She told how phllan~
thropic persons of this country could
best aid Armenians and made an elo-
quent appeal in behalf of her oppressed
countrymen. When she had finished
speaking Rev Mr.. Constantian, an Ar
menian clergyman, who does nos speak
English, made a brief address in his
native tongue, his remarks being inter
preted by Miss Kribonian, who was ed
ucated and learned to speak English
tluently at the missionaries college in
Armenia. She had with her last even
ing a quantity of embroidery and fancy
work made by Armenian women in
Armenia and sent to this country to be
sold to aid them to escape erom the
power of the unspeakable Turk The
work was very fine and artistic, and a
considerable amount of it was purchas-
ed by the ladies present.
The society had expected to elect Of
ficers for the ensuing year last even
ing, but when the interesting talk of
the Armenians was concluded, the hour
was so late that the election was post
poned until the next meeting.

Order Returned TO Court of Common Coun-
cil-Win Oppose Extension of East st.
The board of public works last even
ing heard a number of property owners
on Argyle street on the grading Of the
street from Dixwell avenue to the
Northampton railroad tracks, asked
for by the Winchester Repeating Arms
company. The petitioners wish a grade
established, as +he New Haven Water
company refuses to place hydrants
along that section of the street until
the city establishes the grade
The petition was for grading, but the
order came from the court of common
council for a layout of a street from
DixWell avenue to point named in the
petition. This the representatives of the
petitioner was not prepared to advo-
cate as their principals were not aware
that such an order had been granted
Charles fl. Griffith appeared for the
petitioner, w. Fl. Boughton, G. W. Dan
iels and Wellington Ure, all of whom
own property on Argyle street, favored
the grading. They We're also in favor
of the layout, provided the land was
taken off the north side.
In order that there should be no mis-
understanding the board voted to re-
turn the order to the court of common
council and directed the city engineer
to send along with it map designating
the layout ordered, making the street
sixty feet wide and taking the land
from the north side.
The board also communicated to the
court of common council that the petit
tioners asked for grading and not for a
layout.
The hearing on the extension of East
street was postponed four weeks by an
agreement between the corporation
counsel and the attorneys of the New
Haven Steamboat company, who are
opposing the scheme

SENATE And THE PEICE TREATY.

'oeo oh all <tueHuinenLS VIII be Taken
Next Thursday Afternoon.
Washington, March 24--An agree
ment was reached in the executive ses-
sion of the senate this afternoon on an
hour for voting on the amendments to
the general treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, but consent to an agreement
for the final vote was refused. At 2
o'clock next Wednesday the vote will
be taken on the amendments then
pending and the treaty in it's shape
then is to be printed for the use of the
senate the next day. At o'clock on
Thursday following the vote is to be
taken upon all amendments that may
be offered in the meantime and this will
be the last of the votes on proposed
amendments. From that time the de-
bate VIII proceed on the treaty proper
Senator Davis made a persistent eff
fort to secure an agreement for an hour
for the final vote, but was confronted
with objections that such an agree
ment was impossible. It is thought.
however, that with all amendments out
of the way the final vote cannot long
be postponed. What the ultimate out
come will be can hardly be foreshad-
owed. The opponents of the treaty
profess to have the requisite thirty
votes necessary to encompass the de-
feat of the treaty and say they have
several Of the new senators on their
list. 1t would not come as a surprise
to the committee to have the treaty
rejected.

New York, March 24.-Frank Erne
met George Dixon for the second time
at the Broadway Athletic club tonight
and Dixon got the decision without the
shadow of cavil. Dixon was himself to-
night and he did all the leading up to
the twenty-first round. Erne stayed
away and scarcely landed three good
blows until the twenty-frst. Dixon
fought differently from his usual style.
He was merely cautious and tried hard
to get Erne to lead. But the Buffalo
boy appeared afraid and sluggish until
after the twentieth round, when he
made a desperate effort to knock his
man out, but failed utterly
The crowd was much dissatisfied with
Erne's style 1t was a clean battle and
no blood was spilled. The referees de-
cision was received with loud ap-
plause.

Not q Sectional TarlR.

authors admit. But it will produce

dustries under normal conditions
Among its chief glories-and ona
which was acknowledged even by
some OF Inose VINO did not favor it, anC
who doubt that it will meet the ex.
pectations of its friends-is that it is
not sectional bill. 1t protects the peo-
pie in all parts of the country, and to
the producers Of materials which enter
into the manufacture it gives protec-
ticn, as we'll as to the producers of the
finished product. 1t is matter of re-
greet among leading protectionists in
congress that the conference commit
tee struck off the duty on raw cotton.
That duty would have been an import
ant entering wedge in the old free
trade sections of the south, and it
would AVE proved most beneficial to
the southern people. But it should be
remembered by those southern men
who voted for and urged the adoption
OF the raw cotton duty. that the prin-
oiple of protection is not sectional, and
the southern man who votes for pro-
lection on cotton or sugar, rice or lum-
ber-aiding to put such protective
duties into tariff bill-and then votes
against the whole bill. thereby deny
ing to other industries in the north and
south the measure of protection which
he proposed for the products of the
south, is entitled to little considera-
ton at the hands of protectionists who
are honestly striving to give protection
to all the industries of the country.

For nearly two years prior to the en-
actment of the law of 'perfidy and dis
honor" its baneful effects were felt.
Since the close of 1892, when it was
known that Democratic congress and
a Democratic president had been cleo
ted, and that their threat of free-trade
would be put into execution, the indus
trial enterprises of the United States
have been paralyzed with fear. The
banks foresav the impending danger to
American manufacturers through the
contemplated influx of cheap foreign
goods and, foreseeing the danger, the
banks promptly locked up their capital
so that the evils of the free-trade policy
were felt long before the free-trade
tariff law was placed upon our statutes.
And the evil did not end last week

tariff for protection in place Of the law

The quick work done BY congress On
the Dingley tariff il hardly appre-
ciated as it should be. Congress was
called togetI r in extraordinary SEES
sion on March Is. In fourth months
and nine days the bill had passed both
the United States senate and the house
of representatives, was acted upon In
conference, finally passed by the SEN
ate, and was signed by the President.
This covered a period of 131 days. In
1890 the Mckinley tariff bill, reported
on April 16, passed the house on May
q, but was delayed in the senate till
September, and again still further de-
layed in conference, not being signed
by the President till October I, 1890.
1t was in all 16S days before congress.
When the Democratic party was In
control the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 800 days. and
then failed to pass. The Gorman-Wil-
son bill was reported to the house by
the ways and means committee on De-
cember 10, 1893, and reported to the
senate on February 20. 1894. 1t did
not become law till August %, 1894,
and was then such "ragbag produc-
ton" of 'perfdy and dishonor." that
even the Democratic President refused
to sign it.
The difference between the Repub-
Ecans and Democrats in enacting tari1
legislation in congress is very marked
The Republicans passed the Mckinley
bill in 16S days, and the Dingley bill
in Isl days, each bill receiving the sig
nature of the Republican President.
The Democrats, on the other hand
wasted some 300 days over the Mills
bill, which never became a law, and
they wasted 4oL days over the German.

an abortion that even President Cleve.

Monsieur F0a, French explorer Of
Africa, has recently made strong ap-
peal for the protection of the elephants
remaining on that continent. He de-
clares that the great beasts should be
preserved not merely as curiosities but
as animals which might become very
useful under domestication. Formerly,
as he points out, elephants were domes-
ticated in Africa. and he believes the
same thing could be done again to-day.
and that it would we'll pay to do it. But
unless protected against slaughter the
elephant will have disappeared from
Africa before civilization has reached
the heart of the dark continent.
