RICH MEN BEHIND lT.
The Ability of Company to Extend Its
Tracks.

Bridgeport, Dec. 6.-The continued
hecrins: of the Shelton Street Railway
company for the privilege to extend it's
tracks from Shelton to Stratford came
up before Judge G. w. Wheeler to-day
and after devoting almost the entire
day to consideration of the matter,
Judge Wheeler took the papers in the
case and will give his decision in the
near future.
The friends of the road were treated
to great surprise that decision was
reserved, as the previous hearing had
been continued in order to give the pro-
jectors of the road an opportunity to
show their financial ability to build the
road To-day Attorney Paige stated
that the company which had behind it
Judge Kruger Of New Jersey, who was
worth at least s2,0GO00O, and President
Radel of the New Brunswick Traction
would give bond if required, or meet
any reasonable stipulation even to de-
posting the cash to meet all the ex-
penses Of construction and would agree
to build and operate the road as quickly
as possible.

MOTHER M'KINLEY RALLIES.


Canton, O., Dec. 6.-There was an
agreeable surprise to the children and
friends gathered about the bedside OF
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley this af-
ternoon. She regained consciousness
sufficiently TO recognize and extend
greeting to her children, her aged sister,
Mrs. Osborne. Charles Miller and others
who were near. Nourishment was Civ
en- her about noon. 1t was soon after
this that she manifested signs of re-
turning consciousness. The first nour-
ishment received for several days had
a. good effect and she at once rallied.
There is again stronger hope that she
may survive until the president reach
es her bedside tomorrow morning, and
that perhaps she may recognize him. 1t
is not thought, however, that she will
ever regain complete consciousness.
When the physician left Mrs. Mckinley
this evening it was with a feeling that
she would live through the night. She
had taken no nourishment since early
in the afternoon, but she sustained lit
tie loss of strength during the day and
was reposing in quiet and seemingly
natural condition.

Full Text of Reprimand Made Public by
Secretary Alger.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Secretary Alger
to-day made public the reprimand ad-
ministered to Captain Lowering by SEN
tence of court martial, as follows: by
order of the president the proceedings,
findings and sentence in the case of
Captain Lowering are approved. 1t is
however, disappointing that an offence
so grave and, as an example, so far
reaching as this, should have been Wis
tied with so light a penalty. There is
no question but that Private Hammond
deserved punishment, but he should
have received 1t in a lawful way.
When, therefore,an officer with intel
ligence and experience with which Cap
tain Lowering is credited, not only vio-
lates these laws, but exhibits lack of
humanity, he should receive a more
severe sentence than mere reprimand
Committing such acts degrades the Off
GERS more than the soldier he Furnishes
and shows unfitness for the care and
command Of men. Under excitement
men frequently do things which in
cooler moments they recall with sor-
row and regret; but this case is aggra-
waited by the fact that after weeks of
deliberation this officer evinces no re-
gret for his wrongful acts"

GERMANY,s FIGHT FOR A NAVY.
She Wants Her Share of the Countries
Having Rich Future.

having IStcn tuture.
Berlin Dec. 6.-When Emperor Will
liam received the president Of the reich
stag, Baron Bulbenburg, and Vice Pres
idents Herrenschmidt and Schan yes
terday, his majesty referred to the mo-
mentous labors to be accomplished by
the reichstag and pointed out that on
that very day his only brother, Prince
Henry of Prussia had bid farewell to
the grand duke of Baden and his moth
er, the ex-Empress Frederick, in order
to devote his energies to the service of
the Fatherland in Asia. His majesty
then emphasized his strong determina-
tion to extend the most powerful pro-
lection to the German missions IN for
eign countries.
The reichstag to-day began the debate
upon the first reading Of the govern
ment's naval bill. The imperial chan
cellor, Prince Hohenlohe, made state
ment on the subject, saying: "We alb
solltely require an efficient navy to
maintain the position created for us by
the army. The bill, it is true, demands
certain sacrifice from the reichstag,
but by it's adoption the hands Of the
government Will dlSO NC IlCu. LiC AuSf1
of policy of adventure is far from the
thoughts of the government, as is any
intention of rivalry with the great mar
| itime powers
| Herr Schoenlank, social democrat, op-
posed the bill and said he thought it
curious that the flaws in the navy had
only now been discovered. Referring
to the occupation of Kiao Chou Bay, he
said that if Germany established herself
lin China she would become involved in
l'endless complications with Great Brit
ain and Japan. Germany, he claimed,
would never be naval power and the
bill, according to the speaker, was the
outcome of personal rule.
The minister of foreign affairs, Won
BuIow said: Herr Schoenlank's fears
that we shall plunge into adventures are
not well grounded. The chancellor and
his colleagues are not men to seek USE
less quarrels. We do not poke our fing-
ers into every pie; but nevertheless Ger
many must not renounce her claim to
have a share Of the countries having a
rich future"

Democrats Win an rwhelming Victory
in Willimnntic-A Dem mnnst ration.


Willimantic, Dec 6.-This city is to-
night bubbling over with democratic en-
thusiasm, and for few hours the prin-
cipal streets were brilliant with colored
fire, fireworks etc, while a brass band
and the footing of many horns enliven-
ed the occasion. The demonstration
was all due to the fact that in the city
election held to-day the democrats gain
ed an overwhelming victory. 1t was
the third city election since Willimantic
became a city and proved republican
Waterloo.
The successful ticket was headed by
Oscar o. Tanner, who defeated his re-
publican rival for mayor, George w.
Melony by $50 votes. The vote cast
was: Tanner 1872, Melony 5O2. The coun-
ell now comprises seven democrats and
five republicans. j. F. Carey, council
man from the Third ward, was the only
republican to be selected to-day by a
majority vote, as the other republicans
who were elected to-day only got there
through the law which provided for mi
nority representation.

THE SIX DAYS RACE.
The Feature So Far is the Form Exhibited
by Waller. ....

New York, Dec. 6.-Madison Square
Garden was crowded tonight with
thousands of people who had gathered
to witness the worlds championship
six days bicycle race. Forty men start
ed in the race at 1915 o'clock this
morning, but at 9:15 o'clock tonight
only twenty-six men were riding. Four
teen riders had dropped out of the race
owing to illness on account of their
inability to keep UP the pace.
The feature of the race up to the
present time Is the form exhibited by
Waller. All to-day and tonight this
mans riding was superb and called for
the continual admiration Of the spec
tators. Waller had before starting set
himself the task of covering 500 miles
in the first twenty-four hours and he
failed only by narrow margin. AS
he rode he broke records as well as in
creased his lead over opponents. AT
the twenty-second hour he was fifty
miles and five laps ahead of Hale's S
record. Walters riding is Of a charac-
ter that makes many doubt his ability
to stick it out He rides with his body
thrown over the handle bars in scorch-
ing position and it is believed that his
stomach will be affected. The riding
of Elkes, the Glens Falls, N. Y, lad
attracted considerable attention to-
night He looked remarkably fresh at
10 p. NJ, and seemed to be by long odds
a "stayer."
BY IL o'clock a number of riders had
dropped out in order to get few hours
sleep. Those still riding at II o'clock
were Waller, Stephane, Rice, G. Re
vierre, Miller, Barnaby, Reading, Bea-
con- Hicks, Pierce, Golden, Elkes, Gray,
Kinse, Moore and Cannon. Waller had
been off the track only forty-three min
utes in twenty-four hours. He was
ffty-four miles and seven laps ahead
Of Hale's record at II o'clock, the twen-
ty-third hour. Hale's record for twen-
| ty-three hours has been passed by Wal
Ter, Miller, Stephane, G. Revierre, Schin-
ner, Pierce, Moore and Rice.
| At 1915 a. m. Waller, with score of
4S3 miles 3 laps, led Hale's record for
twenty-four hours by 81 miles and 8
laps.

AFTER THE STAMP GIVERS,
Executive Meeting of Directors of Mer
chants Association.

The directors of the New Haven Re-
tail Merchants association met last
night to devise a plan for the abolition
of the trading stamp and coupon sys-
TENS in the city. Their conference was
strictly executive and it is not known
whether or not successful plan was
devised. 1t was stated however, that
both a majority and minority report
will be submitted at the next general
meeting of the association, which will
be held next Monday night in the Ton
| tine hotel.
| One of the directors expressed himself
as being of the opinion that the news
paper notoriety that had been given the
efforts OF the merchants to abolish the
system in the city had been very bene-
fetal to those giving stamps This is in
all probability the reason for keeping
the proceedings of last nights meeting
secret. Considerable discussion was in
dulged in, but it's nature could not be
learned. Ten of the fifteen directors of
the association attended.

Headlong Down Marble Steps.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Representative
Belden Of New York, one Of the veteran
members of the house, was seriously in
jurd to-day by falling down the marble
stairs leading from the floor of the
house to the basement of the capitol

ing by the west stairway. His foot
caught and he plunged headlong down
