Details Perfected and Brigade Can Be
 Mobilized Quickly.
 To a New London Telegraph reporter Adjutant General Haven said yester- day in response to questions for news on the Connecticut troops, sConnecti- cut is ready, and while there has been no communication received from the war department relating to the militia, the present time has been utilized to perfect all details so that the troops could be moved in a short time and mobilized at any desired point in the state This work has been going on very quietly and was not completed un- Ill Wednesday night, and if Connecti- cut is called upon 1t will be ready to furnish the troops. All the railroads have been secured and give assurance that with little advance notice trains would be furnished for the accommo- dation of the soldiers.
 4.E,verything, and that covers 8 wide range, has been done that can be with out calling for an extra session of the legislature. The troops are in good condition, the equipments as good as
  men are specially fortunate in possess ing the new Springfield rifles,
 ..It is designed that in case of hostil- aties the Connecticut Naval battalion would prove of great service in coast defense and especially in torpedo work In this direction there has been work done which it would be unwise to di- vulge at the present time, but I have great faith in the Naval battalion and believe their service would be ot inestimable value.
 '.No, the activity does not indicate that hostilities are expected to develop but the opportunity has been seized te learn just what can be done with the national guard of the state, and not tt be lacking of preparation if the clasf should come"

WE ARE IN POOR CONDITION
SHOULD WAR ARISE BETWEEN THE
 UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.

Opinion of Colonel L. r. Burpee-The Colonel Draws a Gloomy Picture of This Country's Condition Should War Arise, but After All He Does Not Think War Probable.
 Colonel Lucien F. Burpee was asked by Waterbury Republican reporter If he considered the United States fair ly well prepared for war, and in case of possibly war with Spain, where it would probably be fought. He said:
 Tt is impossible for one to tell with any degree of accuracy just how well the United States is prepared for war, The government for several years has been carrying out some definite plan for coast defenses. Just what this plan x Is no one knows except the war depart ment and the engineer corps. Orders were issued some time ago prohibiting any one except those who are author ized from entering the forts and other defenses. This is rightly so, for it would be the height of folly for the government to make public just the condition of defense it is in case of war. It would be like giving away your hand to an opponent at a game of cards.
 Tt is my opinion, however, that this country is in mighty poor condition for defense If war should come. Con gress has been so niggardly with ap- propriations for coast defenses that it has been impossible to carry forward the work as has been desired by the war department.
 II see by to-night's newspapers that B bill has been reported in the senate creating two additional artillery regi- 1nents. Why, as matter of fact, do not believe that the United States could get artillerymen enough to handle the guns which we have at the present time. An untrained man cannot be taken for an artilleryman nowadays. It takes at least year to train a man so he can handle one of the modern guns, which are very intricate and complicat- ed in their construction.
 What would happen if war was de- clared 1t would be foolish to try to pre- dlCI- A we WILL oPolh WOulSt pC letl 6C" 1y naval combat. It would probably be the aim of both countries to land troops in the others territory with the X idea of carrying the war into the ene- my's country and drawing the danger N away from home. The United States would probably land troops in Cuba.
 It would take any strong foreign power such as England or Germany about thirty days to land 75,000 troops in this country. It would be about all Z this country could do to mobilize that many troops at any given point. And there would be no telling where the first blow would be struck.
 ''Of course we should finally conquer Tn a war with Spain. For Spain is weak and heavily in debt. She is already depleted by ruinous war. But it is wonderful how many troops she has al ready landed in Cuba. This country however, should prepare itself not only against so weak a power as Spain, but against any power in the world.
 'sThe chances of war are very small Tn my opinion. It is a good deal like \ the first battle of Bull Run-each one is waiting to see which one will run first If Spain does not back out too quickly you will see our government do it."

RETURNED FROM KLONDIKE.
Failed to Strike Paying Stake, but Experienced Unusual Hardship.
 Al....s. e..o,,o t4H,o KInn dilrn foll nf fho

Failed to Strlke a Paylng SLake, put
 Experienced Unusual Hardship.
 Advices from the Klondike tell of the return to Victoria. B. C., of John W. Beall, who left this city last fall with George W. Bowman. According to their story they did not strike any thing rich and experienced a good deal of hardship. MT Beall arrived from Skaguay Washington's birthday. He has been up Stewart river, which, he says is practically an unknown stream. He and his companions reached McQuestin creek, 125 miles from the mouth of the river, but failed to make a paying strike. They started on the return trip Dec. 8 with IS inches of snow on the ground and the thermome- ter registering P below zero. Con- tinuous snow storms and intense cold made the trip more than usually sever even in that region of hardship. Once two of the men in the lead, breaking trail, fell through the ice, and were rescued only with great difficulty. Nine and half days were occupied in making 35 miles.
 Beall says they found bars on the Stewart river rich in four gold, easily saved, but in the various gulches and streams they prospected nothing was obtained except light flake gold, which it is almost impossible to save except with quicksilver.
 Nothing in the dispatches says any thing about MT. Bowman, but it is supposed he returned with MT. Beall His local friends may hear from him at any time.-Bridgeport Farmer.

the roll was called with rapidity Before

IT was evident that Mr.. Roosevelt had Il
prac teal walk over and at 1886 enough
votes had been east to nominate him. At
7:il the roll call was completed and the
vote was announced as follows:

Then the auditors and the delegates
arose on massc ana Cheercd. Final
~ Mr.. Lautcrbdch arose but Judge Cady,
who preceded him, got the floor, and
moved To make the nomination unanimous.
While the question was pending Senator
Erum, who had supported Gov. Black,
said: "On behalf of GOV. Black and his
friends, | say that they will stand by
Theodore Roosevelt as he stood by the
country"
The nomination was made Cnanimous
and at 7:ij the convention took a recess
