CONNECTICUT RIVER.
Project of Making it Navigable to Hol-
 yoke.

Project of Making it Navigable to Hol-
 yoke.
 Thompsonville, Jan. 1.-The board of trade held an open meeting, in the high school room last evening to discuss the project of opening the river to naviga- tion from Hartford to Holyoke. About fifty interested business men and man. ufacturers were present. Messrs, Den nison, Crocker and Carter of Springfield were present to explain the project and to awaken public sentiment in favor of the movement. MT. Dennison stated that the matter was a vital one to a community whose manufacturing inter- ests were valued at $500,000,000 He showed that the freight payments alone would be quite $20O00e per annum, be- sides improving the value of real estate bordering the Iiver. According to the report of Major Leach of the army en- gineering corps to the secretary of war, the project is feasible one, and by a series of three locks and dams ten foot channel could be made from Hart ford to Holyoke at a maximum cost of I YA,uUU,uOU.
 MT. Crocker, a manufacturer of Hol- yoke, spoke briefly and showed how the work would add to the value of the riv- CT privileges of Holyoke and Windsor Locks, by doing away with the back water.
 Others who spoke on the subject were Messrs. McKean, Alden, Woodward, Calderwoor, Bushnell, Matnewson, Shel- don and Fowler. MT. Fowler introduc- ed a resolution asking the cooperation of Connecticut's congressman in the matter, which was adopted and signed by nearly all present.
 Another meeting will be held soon, and the people of Windsor Locks will also be asked to hold meeting to arouse the public to the great advan- tages the opening of the river would | bring to them.

NEAR LOSING HIS TITLE
ERNE PROVED A TARTAR FOR SAG
NAV BONER.
vigne and Frank Erne Was De-
clared "A Draw.

New York, Sept. Skid Lavigne, light
weight champion pugilist OF the world,
came very near losing his title tonight
at the Greater New York Athletic club in
a -1-round bout with Frank Erne of Buff
falo. Eruc proved a tartar for the Sagi-
nav boxer, who is not the Lavigne OF
three years ago by any means. Erne's
wonderful improvement was a surprise
20 the 1000 people who witnessed the
fight. He drew Lavigne to him and sent
him back as good as he got in many OF
the rounds, while in some Of them he
outpointed the champion. 1t was generally
understood that a decision was to be
given on points and the statement made
at the end of the bout that both men had
agreed to call it a draw in case the men
We're good and strong at the end OF the
Goth round was a source of keen disap-
poiutment to a host OF Erne's friends, who
looked for a favorable decision. Had the
bout been decided upon points Erne GER
tainly would nave got the championship
honors and the winners slice of the 81 900
purse which the club hung up for the con-
test.
The men who laid odds Of 3 to l on La
vignc ooked sick toward the end of the
bout. particularly in the last two rounds
when Ernc was getting the better OF his
opponent. and II the men were to meet
again even money would be the ruling
odds. Erne. on his showing tonight, has
the championship almost at his mercy.
Erne's principal second was Kid Mccoy.
James Corbett, who was TO have sec
ouded Lavignc. was unable to be present,
owing to injuries received from Mccoy to-
day in their fight in a Broadway hotel.

A Detail Under Captain Jensen Captured
a Boat Load of Insurgents Who
Were Looting the Luzon-Anx-

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Speclal DlSDafCn 10 the STANDARD.
Helena, Sept. 2s.-The mail from Ma
Mia brought a number of letters to
Governor Smith. Among them is a let
ter from Chaplain Stull of the LIST Mon
tana, dated July 25. "1,4OO miles at sea"
in which the entire regiment sends
greetings to the states executive. An
other that is more interesting is from
DR.. c. L. Bruning OF Miles City, of the
surgical staff. This is dated Cavite,
Aug. 2S, and Is interesting since DIT.
Bruning tells Of the LIST Montana having
been under fire. He says in part:
"If the LIST Montana should return
home tomorrow they would feel salts
fed. since the LIST battalion has been
practically unde fire and a detail un-
der Captain Jensen sent out to capture
a boat load Of insurgents, killed one,
wounded another and by taking their
boats. prevented three others escaping
from the wreck of the Spanish cruiser
Luzon, which they were looting during
the night. As the battalion marched
from the wharf to its barracks n
came to a halt Immediately beyond the
Notifications of Fort San Philippe, a
riot began in the streets half a block
distant between the insurgents and SOL
diers Of the Utah artillery. OF the lat
ter two were killed and three wounded.
The insurgents we're firing from win
dows, doors and alleyways at the SOL
diers, firing about $50 shots in all. Then
n squad of the 4th cavalry returned the
fire by n volley directed at every in
surgent in sight and the scrap was over.
IL was during the night of the same
day that Captain Jensen was ordered
with a detail to capture the looting in
surgents. The next morning the hospit-
al corps found several wounded insur-
gents. Dc not doubt the willingness Of
the Montana boys TO obey orders to
shoot low and we'll"
Continuing. the doctor says: The
insurgents are not openly hostile to us
and their leaders declare their inten-
ton Of ~disbanding their army IL the
Philippines pass into the possession OF
the United States, but Of continuing the
revolution in case the islands are given
back to Spain"
The writer speaks Of the scarcity Of
news from home and the outside world
in general and asks 10 have a hundred
copies Of the late state papers sent to
the regiment. The governor also re-
Cefved a letter from Major General j. II.
Miller equally as interesting.
