body was wrapped up i'll garments De-
longing to DR.. Gill, who is at present
serving term in prison for similar
operation. Mrs. Guiltord has also oeen
connected with cases Of this nature oe-
fore.
The house was searched but nothing
of any value to the case was found.
The body has been identified by
New London man who recognized mel
as Bertha Mellish, Mount Holyoke
College girl who disappeared Nov TO- o.
1897. Her father, who is preacher IL
Dayville, has been notified =.
Again this afternoon she was 'oen''
f,d this time as Nellie Lauckerey O.
New Haven who has been missing io'
,he East two weeks. Her reIauN .
we're notified but no absolute corta'nl'!
as TO who she really was is yet felt o.

pers to race with Chas. Urquerhart alias
Chas. Hartn this city, that party OF
of local sports wanted him to work a
skin game on another crowd of sports
but he refused, until last Saturday when

betw cen them was that Speaknlan would
lei Hart beat him and accordingly they
put large sums Of money on Hart.
After this deal was made he told his
secrets to another party of his friends
and said he would fool the former party
and II they wanted to get "boodle'

that Speak man has gone to Florida where
he has been engaged as instructor in

sprinter left Montpelier Monday even
ing and ho undoubtedly was a sid'

Yet Ready for Conflict
WASHINGTON, April ? From one OF
the senators who has been in con-
sultation at the White house three
times day since the situation became
critical, the following statement was
obtained.
The President is Hat footed on the
proposition that Spain must move out
bodily. lie also knows absolutely
that Spain can not, or, at least, will
not consent to this complete abandon
ment That means war The Pres
lent squarely faces that lie is not
ready. He recognizes certain serious
unpre paredness Mckinley feels he
would be guilty of great negligence II
the deficiencies be not made good be-
fore we are plunged into war Had
he not felt so. matters would have
been advanced to a point where the
United States could have stopped ths
coming of the torpedo 1otilla This
TACT will manifest itself by Monday or
Tuesday, when the naval and military
committees In the House and Senate
will support the President The COM
mitices will be given information,
which the members should know, that
will have tendency to sober them up
bit
The President may ask that he be
permitted TO conduct further negotia-
tions on these lines. 1t will be plain
to all that these negotiations can only
| lead to war, but the men who will
advocate that the President be per-
mitted to continue his correspondence
with Spain will make it plain that a
little delay is a good thing for us as
well as Spain.
1T perhaps may not be an open
confession of unpreparedness from
these members, but their position on
the fighting committees, toge ther
with their well known sympathy for
Cuba, will be sufficiently significant
to make the House pause"
In discussing this phase of the mat
ter, the speaker quoted the statements
Of cabinet ministers freely, and said
even the warlike General Alger was
compelled TO admit the force of it.
The main thing that the department Is
are short Of is powder, and the deliv-
cry Of projectiles has not been as sat
