N r. CHANDLER,
The Senator from New Hampshire,
Tells What Congress Will Probably
Do.

Washington, November Ex-senator
VIM. e. Chandler, of New Hampshire,
in an interview regarding legislation
the coming session of Congress, said:
Senator Lodge proposes pushing the
measure looking to the restriction of
immigration and of demanding it's pas
sage without delay.
BILLS proposing to bar undesirable
foreign element from entering into this
country are now pending in both the
House and the Senate, and there is no
doubt the two houses will be able to
agree upon bill.
Some action, believe, will be taken
looking to the relief Of tn Cuban in
surgents. OF course the Republican
policy will largely depend on the Presi-
dents message, but my opinion is he
will leave the entire matter to the
judgment Of Congress.
1.-THE prospects for the ratification Of
the Hawaiian treaty are excellent. The
Republicans will stand by it to a unit,
and many Democrats will do likewise
l think the necessary two-thirds vote
will be secured. AS to financial legisla-
ton, especially as to a revision of the
banking laws, I cannot see how any
such legislation can be passed."

A FARME Err,
Who Failed to Give Up Farmer Ways
When He Became State Officer.

Lincoln, Neb., November 1S.-Secre-
tary of State w. F. Porter was ar
rested this evening charged with vio-
lating the city health ordinance by
butchering hogs within the city limits.
He was released on his own recogna-
rance and will have his hearing in po-
lice court tomorrow. Secretary Porter
followed agricultural pursuits before be-
ing elected and raised his own supply
of pork on his Merrick county farm
He saw no reason to discontinue this
practice since coming to Lincoln and
to-day, with Gen. Kelsey, the Omaha
commonweai leader, an employee in his
office, had nearly finished the work of
slaughtering four hogs at his home
when city health officer Rhode appeared
and ordered a discontinuance. Later
warrant was sworn out and served.
Secretary Porter, it is asserted, was
unaware of the existence of a law
against butchering hogs in the city.

BRIDGEPORT,

Last evening Harry Breidenstein en-
tertained a number of his friends at his
home in Kirkwood in honor of his TWEEN
tieth birthday. The affair was a very
pleasant one, the evening being spent
in the various social amusements. AT
a seasonabe hour refreshments Of a
tempting nature were served.
A man giving his name as Brown
was fined 81 and costs yesterday by
Mayor Williams for being intoxicated.
Wednesday evening a street car on
the Wheeling line struck the bakery
wagon of Anton Hammer in Aetnaville.
The shock threw Mr.. Hammer from
the wagon to the ground. Besides few
bruises and scratches he sustained no
other injury.
Ralph Bethal, of Flushing, was here
yesterday calling on friends
The dance at the Opera House last
evening was we'll attended.
The Klondike social to be given this
evening at the kirkwood NJ E. Church
promises to be a novel as well as en-
joyable affair.
r. B. Burt and family leave to-day
for Columbus, where they will make
their future home.
Last evening rev. H. .. SJTdHI mar
ried Mr. Mansel Trouten and Miss Lizzie
Taylor, two well-known young people
of West Bridgeport.
Yesterday afternoon between the
hours Of two and four, Mrs. A. J. Helm
lein gave a very pleasant reception at
her home in Kirkwood to a number OF
her young lady friends.
Now that the city council has finally
taken up the matter concerning the pike
they might as well look after the cleo
trio light service. Of late the service
has been very poor and many COM
plants are being heard, and especially
from workingmen who have 20 get out
early in the morning They say that
many mornings a great number of the
lights are out as early as o'clock
Since the town has to pay for the lights
it is only reasonable that they should
have service as good as the lighting
contract calls for.

VELASQUEZ
Attempts to Justify His Action
Which Resulted in the Lynching of
Arroyo.

City Of Mexico, Mexico, November 49,
"A profound sensation was made in the
course of the trial of the police officials
charged with the murder of Arroyo by
the production of the confession of the
late inspector general of police Ve,as-
queZ. 1t is most remarkable attempt
at self-justifcation and falsely states
that a mob of the common people
lynched Arroyo.
Velasquez then went on to say that
no direct orders for Arroyo'S killing
were given, but that the pOpulace, al
ready wrought up by the assault upon
the president were urged by sugges-
lions to commit the deed. He said:
Il maintain that | have done service
to my country on proving that an at
tack on the president will be followed
by swift and terrible yer geance Of the
populace for nothing but the smallest
hind is needed to arm the hands of a
people and let loose their fury on GRIM
mails. If l have committed fault, it is
the result of my enthusiastic admiration
and love for the president of. the re-
public. I thought | was doing right in
organizing a popular manifestation"
He then went on to show that others
besides himself thought justice should
be dealt to Arroyo. This confession, in
the light of evidence, is seen to be full
of misstatements and in no case would
it have prevented Velasquez's prosecu-
ton, for the government was determined
to punish the crime.

A COM PACT
Among All the White Granite Manu-.
facturers Concerning Prices Fig
ures Not Determined on Yet.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., November 49,
The Manufacturing Potters' Association
of American adjourned this morning after
spending two days in the discussion Of the
proposed increase in the sellin gprice
of ware. No agreement was reached and
a formal call will be issued for a meet
ing of the limited States Potters' Asso-
citation. The attitude of the importers I'M
der the increased tariff is yet an unknown
factor. Manufacturers claim the advance
will be barely sufficient to cover the res
toration to the men of the 1872 per cent.
wages cut of three years ago. There was
much opposition to making the increase
before the first of February or March,
when more will be known about the prices
of imported ware. One of the fruits of the
conference that ended to-day will be an
iron clad compact of all white granite
manufacturers in America on prices.
