City Attorney McConville of Hartford
has decided that women who are regis
tered as voters may vote without further
proceedings. They will not be required
to be made" the same as men, under
the law of 1897, but will be considered as
fully qualified voters under the previous
registration. Under the present law all
women not previously registered will
have to be made voters under the provis-
ions of law which apply to male voters.

DR.. j. P. Hart. the physician to the
Greenwood Athletic club, whose duty 1t is
to examine the men before they enter the
ring, says that Scott was in perfect eondi-
ton when he entered the ring. DR.. Hart
said the probable cause of SCOTS death was
coneussion Of the brain. In the last round
the doctor said Scott showed the fatigue of
the terrible exertion and the heat, and was
knocked down four times falling on his
head to the hardwood floor.
Tommy Butler was arraigned before q
magistrate charged with manslaughter, and
remanded in the sum of $1,000 The court
denied motion to dismiss on the ground Of

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Bradstreet's fnan-

Reactionary tendencies marked the early

of the recent public interest in speculation.
frmer tone and a renewal of the adyanc-

last few days. There has been DO positive
news of unfavorable character apart
from the reports that the movement of crops
was taking money away from the Eastern
narkets, which. however was partially off
set in the stihening of exchange rates. The
depression may be partly due to the heated
term, partly of the falling off Of public in

HOoDLUM NOT TO BLAME.
So Writes III. j. Burton in Regard to
the Foul Claimed.

the Foul Claimed.
Regarding the Akela-Hoodlum foul, H. ].
Burton makes the following statement:
'Some newspaper accounts of the Hood
lum-Akela race yesterday at White Bear, at
which Akela fouled Hoodlum, are not quite
correct There was a fresh breeze. and the
two yachts approached the buoy sailing free
on the port tack to jibe round Hoodlum
had the inside position. Akela, after bav-
ing tried repeatedly to get an overlap and
the inside position, was compelled to go out
side and thus bore down on Hcodum to
round the buoy. I was tending Hoodlum's
jib and called to Hoodlum's helmsman, Look
out; you'n strike the buoy a second later,
before Hoodlum could jibe. Akela suddenly
jibed first and luffed with great velocity into
Hoedlum's bowsprit, which entered her star
board side nearly amidship, at the same time
the buoy struck and bumped along on
Hoodlums starboard side, to which latter
fact instantly called the attention of all the
members of both crews. Hoodlum's til!er was
hard over, but it was physical impossibility
for Hoodlum to have avoided collision be-
Ing between Al1ela and the buoy, and I
think this fact is admitted by all who were
present. Hoodlum's crew were greatly dis
appointed at the unfortunate close Of what
promised to be fine race, whoever won
