THE DEFENDER.
X Careful Examination of the Swift
 Sailing Vessel.

Bristol, R. T., Nov. 15.-A careful ex- animation of tl,e Defender was made to-day. Her hull revealed the fact that nearly all the aluminium plates which run down to the water line, where the bronze begins, were badly pitted, and ie sprne eases looked as if they had been hammered Many of these will have to be replaced and the work is likely to consume time. The surprising feature of her hull, however, was the iron rust on the bronze bottom. There are many surnlises as to to the cause of the iron rust and it will probably require careful examination to determine just how the rust has formed. Obviously the bronze plates could not rust.
 Neither could the bolts that bind them become corroded, as they are also of bronze. It seems probable, therefore, that the streaks of rust which appear around all the boltheads and down the cracks where the plates come together must come from either the steel frames or from the buck plates which bind the bronze plates on the inside of the hull.

 A Young Waterbury Man Killed by a GOmD1niOn,

Waterbury, Nov. 15.-Peter Clary, a young man employed in this city, but who had been spending a few days at his parents home at Lime Rock, was the victim of an accidental shooting this afternoon, while out hunting with Robert Merriman, a companion. The men were about three miles from Lime Rock and while climbing over a stone wall Merriman's gun was discharged. Clary was following him and received the contents in the breast. As soon as possible he was conveyed to the nsar- est dwelling, but died immediately upon arriving there. He was conscious after the accident and in the presence of witnesses exonerated his companion from all blame. MT Merrinan is, how ever, almost crazed with grief over the occurrence. Dr. Francis Skiff. medical examiner of the district where the ac- cident occurred, viewed the remains and afterwards they were taken to Lime Rock.

ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS
BRITISH COLONTAL SECRETARY
 SOUNDS I WARNING.

French Politicians Must Abandon
 Tactics Whose Object IIns Been to
 Embarrass British Policy in Quarters
 Where They Have No Interests to Pro-
 tect-F -Fashoda Incident as a Lesson to
 Foreign Statesmen The Anglo-
 American Understanding.
 Manchester, Nov. 15.--At the National Liberal Unionists' dinner to-day Jo- seph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, made his first pub ic speech since his return from the Unit ed States. MT. Chamberlain, who was much more explicit on the subject of anglo-French relations than any of his colleagues in the cabinet has been, said it was the hope of every friend of peace that the French withdrawal from Fashoda is indicative of their accept ance of the principle of British control of the whole valley of the Nile regard ing which there cannot be any discus- sion whatever
 Going on to recite a ''series of un- friendly acts perpatrated by France in various quarters of the globe during the last ten CT fifteen years" he said: TIT better relations are to be establish ed, it will be necessary for French poll ticians to abandon tactics whose ob- iect has been to harass and enbarrass British policy in quarters where they have no interests to protect. I refer to Newfoundland. At the present mo- ment Newfoundland is seriously suf- fering from an intervention which is of no advantage to France. although a serious detriment to the British colony. If the Fashoda incident only serves to disabuse foreign statesmen of the CT roneous conception that the British will yield anything to pressure, it will be blessing in disguise
 After referring to the thorough and complete sympathy so noticeable be- tween the motherland and her colonies" Mi. Chamberlain continued, as follows: What is of equal importance, our American Mnfolk, Qoud cheers), have begun to understand us better If we have had difficulties in the past, I be- lleve they have arisen entirely from the want of proper mutual understanding, but now the American people know that in the late trouble our hearts went out to them (cheers) and they heartily re- ciprocate our feelings. I shall not at tempt to predict what may follow this better feeding; but may at least hope that in the future the understanding of which I have spoken may be perfected and that in the face of that understand ing we two may be able to guarantee peace and civilization to the world.'
 Prolonged cheers).

FRENCH cH4MBER OF DEPUTIES.
A Radical Socialist Causes an Uproar-
 Colonel Picquart's Case.

Paris, Nov. 15.-In the chamber of deputies to-day M. Antide Boyer, radi- cal socialist, in moving the extension of the law of 1897 to military prisoners, by which the latter would have the plivi- lege of legal assistance during prelimi nary examinations, aroused an uproar by asking that, if the motion should be adopted it should be applicable to Colo nel Picquart, who, he said, was being prosecuted on charges known to be false. This called forth numerous noisy protests from centrists and right 1sts, and the minister of war, M. de Freycinet, contended that the governor of Paris General Zurlinden had acted in accordance with the law in regard to Colonel Picquart. At the same time M. de Freycinet accepted the motion, and the debate on it proceeded.

MATT CONTRA CT BIDDERS.
Pcstot7ice Department Discovers the
 Existence of n Combination.

Washington, Nov 15.-The postoffice department has discovered the exist- ence of a combination of speculative mail contract bidders locking to the con- trol of the bids and the evasion of the 50 cent war tax imposed on their con- tract bonds. These bidders or agents have formed an arrangement for open ing their own bids and selecting osten- sbly the lowest one. Some idea of the interests involved may be gained by the fact that under contracts to be let un- der the general advertisement of Sep tember 15 last, to which the organiza- tion of these bidders immediately looks, over 100000 bids ordinarily would be submitted for contracts for carry ing mails on routes in Ohio, Indiana, H. linos, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime sota, Iowa and Missouri. The con- tracts are to be for four years from July l, 1899. An official warning to bid- ders generally was issued to-day, in which the department warns them that such a combination is a violation of the law

He had a special audience on the subject with the dowager empress to- day and latter while thanking him for his services, requested the Chinese statesman to proceed to the Yellow river without delay.

C.isHIERED IND IMPRISONED.
Captain of Cavalry fin German Army
 Who Killed a Sergeant

Strasburg, Germany, Nov. 15.--The Neuste Nachrichten says that Count Stolberg- -Wernigerode. captain of cav airy, has been cashiered and sentenced to forty months imprisonment for fa- tally stabbing with his sabre a sergeant named Schienhardt in September last
 The circumstances of the assassina- tion of Sergeant Schienhardt by Count Stolberg-W -Wernigerode, a captain of Uh- Ian cavalry, caused much comment in Germany. It appears that Schienhardt was experimenting the cooking of ra- tions during g bivouac of the Fifteenth Uhians near Hagonau, Alsace, when he received an order to get a load of for age. During his absence the soldiers bungled in handling the stove, with the result that the food was spoiled. When Schienhardt returned Count Stolberg- Wernigerode summoned him and abus- ed him, calling him the greatest black guard and the lowest hound in the reg iment. Schienhardt became excited and replied that he did not think he de- served such names, whereupon the count boxed his ears heavily, throwing him against a wagon. Schienhardt then called out to two of his comrades, say ing, You saw that I was struck" :" Thereupon the count flew into rage, drew his sabre and stabbed the ser geant twice, first in the leg and then be- hind the ear. The sergeant took out his I1o l. of tn cto { I,o tried to stand at attention, but he drop ped unconscious and died in the hospi- tai on the following day. Schienhardt was the son of a workman and had two brothers in the army. Count Stolberg- Wernigerode formerly belonged to the Twelfth Hussars, which regiment he had to leave because he assaulted his orderly.

Statements Issued in
 Madrid.

Madrid, Nov. 15.-According to semi- official statements here, the Spanish peace commissioners will maintain the,r present attitude in regard to the Phil ippine islands and will certainly not accept the conditions of the United States. Further if the discussion does not return to the limits of the proto- col as viewed by the spaniards, the Spanish commissioners have decided not to sign treaty of peace. It is also learned from the same source that com plete accord prevails between the Span ish government and it's peace commits sioners.

4 NEW CANAAN TR.AGEDY.
Farm Eahd Hangs Hfmself--Esis Mis-
 tress Probably NIurderet

New Canaan, Conn. Nov 15.-Arson. suicide and suspected murder are the clements of what is believed to be a double tragedy that took place on the outskirts of this village, about four miles from the center and near North Wilton on what is known as the Cheese Spring road to-day. The suicide was Fred Hahman, a German farm laborer aged forty-eight years, who had been employed by Mrs. Susan Anderson. Indications lead to the be- lief that he killed Mrs. Anderson re- gently, set fire to the house and barn this morning and then hanged himself The fire was noticed about 10 o'clock this morning by Zachariah Osborn the nearest neighbor, who lived about a mile away. He started across lots to reach the fire as soon as possible and when going through an orchard several hundred yards from Mrs. Andersons house he discovered the body of Hah- man hanging from an apple tree. Con- siderable time elapsed before any other person reached the scene of the fire and then the house and barn were to- tally destroyed.
 ! As soon as possible the medical ex- anliner, Dr. c. B. Keeler, arrived, and in his examination found a letter on the suicides body which seemed to in dicate that he had murdered Mrs. An- derson and this afternoon Constables John H. Davidson and Joseph M. Silli- man made hasty examination of the ruins without discovering any traces of the woman. The scene of the sus- peeted crime is a lonesome one, and moreover on account of the unsocial disposition of Mrs. Anderson she lived almost entirely isolated. A travelling peddler, who made occasional stops at the place, visited the house few weeks ago and was told by Hahman that Mrs. Anderson had gone to New York. A few days ago he again visited the place and was struck by Hahmans S strange actions This time the farm hand said Mrs. Anderson was dead but would vouchsafe no further infor- nation. If, as is believed, the woman was murdered, it was probably the outcome of a quarrel over money mat ters The woman always hired foreign labor and is reported never to have paid them any money and scarcely gave them enough to eat It is the pre- vailing opinion that during the quarrel the woman must have been killed and in order to conceal the evidences of his crime Hahman fired the building.
 The house and barn were about 200 feet apart The live stock was drivena out of the barn before it was set on fire, and the horse and cows and other stock were found wandering about The letter found on Hanman's person stated that he was born in Germany in 1850, was married and had four children living in the old country. After some irrevelant matter, he states in the let ter that he buried Mrs. Anderson sev- enteen days ago and concludes sugges- lively seek and you shall find.' Mrs. Anderson has a sister residing in New York and a brother, Turgess Northrop, who lives in this vicinity.
