Duty to His State Will Keep Him in
the Seuute.

Senator Sewell of New Jersey yesterday
sent letter to the President, through the
Secretary of War, formally declining the
commission of major general of volun-
teers. Senator Sewell says:
II take this step with great reluctance.
and only do so because advised that the
hcl6ing of the commission while occupy
ing a seat in the Senate of the United
States is Incompatible with the provisions OF
the Constitution.
Il desire to express my deepest graft
tude for the honor and distinction con-
ferred by this appointment, and regret eX-
coedingly that / cannot enter the field to
serve the country, while holding seat IT

stances. In this view my republican COLI

a letter addressed 10 me, suggesting that
my duty is to remain in my present repre-
sentative position

SALE OF REVENUE STAMPS.
Ii Will BE Undertaken by the Pos
ONCE Department.

1t has practically been decided by the
Post Office Department to undertake the
sale through the post offices of the revenue
stamps provided by the war revenue bill.
1t was puzzling to the revenue DEPART
ment how these stamps could best be dis
tributed. All through the country there
are countless post Offices which could very
well regulate the sale of these stamps.
The absence of revenue collectors made
the sale of these stamps only possible
through the post Offices or by the appoint
ment of revenue officers. This latter item
would have required very large sum of
money, and the estimated revenues would
have been co-respondingly diminished. Re-
Gently the post Office officials were con-
suited in the matter, and finding they could
handle the stamps without much detriment
to the regular service, agreed to do IL.

IL is said that armatures for the motors
are on the way" hither. They have been
on the way" for a very long time. When
ever accidents and delays have occurred
this conventional excuse has been ad-
vanced. IL Is not known when these
shark-like" armatures will come They
are being awaited by the people of Brook
land with more eagerness than General
Bianco at Havana watches for the Spanish

Offensive to Eye and Ear.

The tower Is not an attractive thing. 1t
offends the eye and the ear 1t is built with
a view to cheapness and rough work. Such
considerations, however, do not affect the
minds Of the managers of the road. The
patrons of the road have never come in for
the least consideration at their hands, es-
pecialiy in such trivial matters as concern
their tastes and comfort So the tower
was hauled out and put in use motor,
dragging trdilers along merrily to the tune
of such a grooming and screeching
emanates from the Zoo when the animals
are being fed. The new motor was a great
success as a tugger. 1t got there, which
was more than could be said of its more
conventional bat less energetic colleagues.
1t promises great things. 1t is, indeed, at
present, the sole representative of rapid
transit service on the entire line mas
much as the steady tendency of the re-
ceiver who controls this property, and the
Belt and Washington and Maryland, has
been to reduce all these lines to a one-car
basis, it is 10 be assumed, now that the
tower is the only rapid transit device oper-
ating on the trolley end of the lexington,
that this representative of the court is su-
premelY happy, whatever may be the feel
ings OF the patrons of the road.
Yesterday matters came to climax. The
regular motors failed simultaneously at
o'clock, when the greatest rush of the day
tremendously dumped at the junction
point at the end Of New York avenue,
where they waited for over an hour for the
trolley car that never came. Most of these
people lived at Brookland, over two miles
beyond. 1t was warm and walking was not
an alluring exercise, but many Of them
were finally forced to walk, even though
when they paid their fares they were guar
anteed a continuous ride to their destina-
tons. 1t Is needless to say that the fares
were not refunded.
The Indignant, Waiting Threng.
After this state Of affairs had continued
for a sufficient time to create q spirit verg-
ing on riotous demonstrations on the part
of the waiting throngs, orders were finally
given by somebody in supposed authority
somewhere along the line to run the horse
cars out as far as the power house, two
thirds of mile beyond the junction point
This relieved the people of lexington, but
1t did not accommodate those of Brookland
and the Catholic University colony, nearly
q mile and half beyond the power house
One of the motors, however, with an occa-
sional dash by the tower, went begrudg-
ingly into service from the power house TO
the end of the line and SO the weary night
were still running clear through, and the
motor service was reduced to the lowest |
limit, the tower remaining in sole possess
sion Of the rapid transit field.
1t Is needless to note that the people liy-
ing along the line are devoutly praying that
the Senate may speedily decide to pass the
pending bill that grants permission to the
new owners to equip the road with the con-
duit system, and to finance the properties
50 as to put them on q business-iike basis.
But, In default Of this relief, they would

Very Dastructixe Fire.

Richford, Vt, April 15.--A very de- structive fire swept the town of Sutton, Quebec, eight miles north of here, to- day, the business portion of the place being completely destroyed. The fire burned Olmstead's sawmill at an early hour; later it broke out in Dr. Mac Donald's barn, spread to his residence and then to adjoining houses and barns, then to Sweets block, contain ing the postoffice, from there to Cur ley's hotel and barns, two tenement blocks, F. A. Olmstead's store and storehouse and building containing the Odd Fellows hall, the Commercial hotel and harms, Canadian Pacific rail- ways roundhouse, passenger station and freight house. In all thirty build ings were destroyed. The loss will be $125,000 to 150,000; insurance small. The Canadian Pacific managers have already commenced building a tempo rary freight house. Churches have been opened for the use of those who have lost their homes. No serious ac- cidents occurred.

Havana and Key West News.

Key West, Fla, April 15.-Captain Sampson, commander of the fleet, was on shore this afternoon and read the dispatches announcing that the army would be brought to the coast, but he made no comments. Frank Joseph, a negro, who escaped from the barken- tine Elwell, had hearing to-day be- fore the United States commissioner, who, believing his story of cruelty and hardship, arranged to have him enlist on warship. A fishing smack which arrived from Havana to-day brought news, as yet unconfirmed, that Gen. eral Blanco was in constant confer ence with the representatives of the colonial junta, and that Senor Sagasta had cabled the governor general in quiring as to the attitude of the colo nial government in the event of war.
 The insurgents continue to concen- trate in the provinces of Havana and Matanzas, and General Gomez will soon pass the Hanabana river, the di- viding line between the provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara. The in- surgents are passing large supplies of arms and ammunition from Santa Clara into Matanzas, and it Is said that the towns in those provinces are soon to be attacked.

MAY BE MURDERER ERICKSON.

Man Arrested on Union Street Last Night.
 A Finn named John Erickson was arrested last night at place on Union street on the charge of lascivious car riage. From the fact that his name was the same as that of the man who shot his brother-in-law, Frank En- qufst, in East Haven few weeks ago, it was at first thought that he was the murderer for whom the police of New Haven and constabulary of surround ing towns have been on the lookout for some time, but on a careful scrutiny of the man arrested last night 1t was seen that he did not answer the de- scription of the murderer Erickson. The description of the murder describ- ed him as having a mustache, while the man arrested last night had no mustache, but about three or four weeks growth of whiskers. He refus- ed to answer any questions at the cen tral police station when piled by Ser geant CoSk, and it is possible that he is the murderer Erickson disguised by cutting off the nustache and growing whiskers. It will be determined to- day whether or not he is the East Ha- ven murderer wanted. It will be re- membered that Enquist, the man who was shot, died at the hospital few days after the shooting as result of the wound.
