Would Get Out of
Iiawley's Way.

Galveston. Texas, OctobeI
3I.-when Frank Gary. the
independent republican. an
nounced for congress a few
davis ago. the Hawiey people
declared they did not care a
snap of the finger whether he
remained in the race or not.
II was not long, however, be-
fore they changed their mind
and 4 strong influence was
brought TO pull him down.
Gary refused to listen to their
entreaties, and now they have
adopted another plan. The
authorities at Washington have
been set TO work to get Gary
out of the way. as the follow
ing telegram received by him
yesterday will show:
Washington, October 20
The interest of the race is
wrapped up largely in tie re-
publican party. We can not
afford to imperil it yet. while
it is your duty to withdraw in
favor of the republican nomi-
nee. Mr.. Hawley. who can be
elected. The party hereafter
will some day appreciate your
loyalty. Judson W: Lyons.
Register of the Treasury.
Gary laughed heartily at the
last sentence and said it was
rather indefinite.
He also received today a
long letter from R. L. Smith of
Colorado county urging him to
come down and leave the race
to Hawley.

NIGHT SCHOOL GRADUATION.
Exercises Held in Boardman School Build
 ing Last Night.

Last night the young people were graduated from the evening school, which is conducted in the building of the Boardman Training school. The ten who received diplomas were: Miss Alice Brown, Messrs Lewis B. Hale, Frederick Ebel, William Bowden, J James McNerney, Matthew McGuigan, Clay ton Billiard, Patrick Moakley, Edward M. Ufford and Joseph Morrissey. These young people have completed the pre- scribed branches in the three-year course. The exercises last night were held in the main assembly room on the first floor of the building and were in charge of Principal Gregory. There was very large attendance. not only of members of the school, but of ladies and gentlemen interested in its work. After a few introductory remarks, Principal Gregory called upon James T. Moran, chairman of the committee on schools of the board of education.
 MT. Moran said that he was much pleased to learn of the advancement made by the schools, of the increase in interest and attendance. He con- graduated all those members of the school who having been deprived of a good education in their early life, had taken advantage of this opportunity to increase their store of knowledge. MT. Moran expressed the thanks of the su- perintendent of schools and the board of education to the teachers of the school for their faithful and efficient work. He then presented the diplomas to those entitled to them. Waiter AL len was introduced and made a short but interesting address of a congratu- latory nature.
 Principal Gregory before closing the meeting urged all persons that are or have been members of the school to use their efforts in securing other per- sons to attend next year, in the hopes of doubling the roll. This year there were about $50 persons enrolled, whose aged ranged range from sixteen to six ty years. The school is one of the first to take up and carry on work in ad- vanced studies successfully. A large number of the pupils entered the school after having completed the preliminary work in the evening school conducted at Hillhouse high school The branch es taught are history, geometry, all zebra, civil government, bookkeeping, penmanship, freehand and mechanical drawing, English literature, German and English. The school has eleven teachers beside the principal. Some of the work of the scholars, many of whom have never before had any schooling, was on exhibition last night and is indeed very creditable. This is especially so in the freehand and me- chanical drawing. Many of the exhib- it's are worthy of those who have long studied the same. Last night 175 scholars received certificates of promo ton.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Both Sides Continue to Hold Out Except
 in Two Instances.

in Two Instances.
 Boston, Feb. 21.-The sixth week of the cotton mill strike in New Bedford, Biddeford, Saco, Me, and other places began this morning. Except at the King Phillip mills in Fall River, where most of the strikers, except the ring spfnners, returned after being out near ly five weeks, and the Enos Lapham mills at Centerville, where the strike Is practically over, both sides continue to hold out The New Bedford situation continues to attract much attention. Although many rumors of compro- mise and a report that many of the strikers are weakening have been af1oat it is generally believed that it will be many weeks yet before the New Bed- ford cotton mills are running in full. The fact that hundreds of skilled oper- atives have left New Bedford is regard ed as a serious feature from the stand point of the manufacturers as should the strike be ended the mills would be short of skilled help. The clearing house again shows the result of the strike. In the past fortnight the fall ing off from the figures of the corre- spending period of last year has been about S13000O. while the whole five weeks have seen a decrease of nearly $750, ,000.

Wife of Ex- Secretary of the Navy Knocked
 From Her Horse.

Aiken, S. C., Feb. 21.-While follow ing the deer hounds to-day Mrs. Will liam c. Whitney, wife of ex-Secretary Whitney, was knocked from her horse and quite seriously hurt. MT. Whitney and wife with a party of thirty-five or forty friends were out on a deer hunt two miles from the city at Robinson's Park Mrs. Whitney was among the leaders and was riding at gallop along narrow path short distance from the roadway. Nailed across the path was scantling which Mrs. Whit ney did not see until too late. She was riding so fast she could not stop and was carried directly against the piece of wood. She was struck in the forehead and knocked from her horse. When picked up she was unconscious and had a long ugly gash just above the eyes. She was carried to her resi- dence in this city, where Dr. Valentine Mott of New York, who was in the party, attended her. He pronounced her injuries very painful and said that she would be confined to her room for some time.

FINISHING.
Orders Issued to Recruiting Officers fo,
 More Men.

Washington, Feb 1.-Steps have been taken to fill vacancies caused by the loss of the major part of the crew of the Maine. Orders have been sent to the recruiting officers in charge of the receiving ships at New York, Philadel- phia and Norfolk authorizing them to make number of enlistments imme- diately. These enlistments are in ad- dition to those previously issued to complete the crews of the monitors Puritan and Dolphin. The orders spec flied that the recruits should be citi- zens of the United States. Numerous letters and telegrams have been receiv- ed at the department from individuals desiring the navy, asking to be enlist ed immediately. A telegram was re- ceived this morning from an organiza- tion in Detroit offering the immediate services of 10000 citizens of that city in case of need. Patriotic offers also have been received from other places.

THE GOUN0D REHEARsAL.
Important Announcement Made at Last t Nights Meeting.

The Gounod society held a successful rehearsal last night at Republican hall. In spite of the rain there was large attendance. Grell's mass was sung through in regular order for the first time, the different parts having here tofore been sung separately. For the first time the full beauties of the work, with its magnificent orchestral effects, could be gathered. It was announced at last nights rehearsal that there would be but four more rehearsals be- fore the concert on March g. These four rehearsals include the two extra ones on Thursday of this week and the same day of next.
 It was also urged that the attend ance at these rehearsals be regular and prompt, as MT. Agramonte will call them promptly at 7:45 o'clock, what ever the attendance be at that time. The secretary, MT. Frinck, in making his announcements said, in behalf of the board of governors, that six ill., considered absences at these rehearsals might mar the performance. The ne- cessity of regular attendance could not, he said, be too strongly urged. The sale of seats for guarantors will open on Monday next. February 28, to be followed by the public sale on March 2, one week before the concert.
 Not in the history of the Gounod so- ciety has a concert aroused so much interest in both musical and religious circles. Many requests from nearby ,11 fOx n1r I,, o1,, The largest out-oftown contingent that has ever attended a Gounod con- cert is even at this early date assured. Especially Is the clergy interested in the production of the great mass, which is sung in New England for the first time.

THE CoMMIrrHB r4NGLE.
Corporation Counsel Says the Committee,
 Must be Announced to Aldermen.


 Must be Announced to Aldermen.
 There has recently been some ques- tion in the minds of members of the board of aldermen as to whether or not the matters referred to committees at the last meeting of the board could be legally so referred, from the fact that the appointments of new committees have not been announced to the board, although the committees have bean announced in the newspapers. Some members raised the point that the com mittees did not legally exist until they had been announced by the president of the board at a board meeting The matter was submitted to Corporation Counsel Ely for an opinion, and late yesterday afternoon the corporation counsel transmitted to the mayor the following opinion:
 February 21, 1898. Hon. F. B. Farnsworth, Mayor:
 Dear Sir-In answer to your request for an opinion concerning the joint standing committees, so far as the board of aldermen is concerned, would say: From your statement of the facts it appears that the committees have not been announced in any meeting of the board or reported to any meeting of the board, nor has any vote been passed confirming any appointments, and the question is whether under these circumstances the committees have been legally appointed. It must be manifest that something should be done by the appointing power in addi- tion to merely writing the names on paper. The president of the board should, in my opinion, announce in open session the committees as ap- pointed by him, or make some report to the board while in session, and un- less this is done the committees are not legally appointed. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H. ELY,
 Corporation Counsel.
 It is probable, therefore, that a spe- cial meeting of the board of aldermen will be called, at which the committees will be announced in accordance with the corporation counseTs opinion, and the matters referred to committees at the last regular meeting will be again referred. Mayor Farnsworth stated last evening that he had not had time to consider the matter since receiving the opinion, and had not decided about calling a special meeting of the alder men.

 Trees Destroyed.


 Trees Destroyed.
 Monticello, N. Y, Feb. 21-The most destructive ice storm known in Sulli- van county visited Monticello Satur- day night. Out of 800 giant shade trees which lined the streets of the town, ten only remain that were not stripped of their limbs. Many trees were broken down. The village park, one of the finest in the state, is total wreck, not a single tree remaining intact. The telegraph lines were broken down and for miles many of the poles were brok- en off close to the ground Others had the cross-arms and wires twisted off The telephone lines and electric light wires are also prostrated. Young and old orchards are ruined. The streets are so blocked by the fallen trees and limbs that travel Is partially suspend ed. Many windows were broken and the damage to the town will foot up several thousand dollars. The storm covered territory of about fifteen square miles and is still raging.

BOARD OF INQUIRY MEETS
INVESTIGATION INTO MAINE DIS-
 ASTER NOW UNDER WAY.

Captain Sigsbee the First Witness-Under
 Examination for Three Hours-Board
 Decides, Owing to the Delicate situa-
 ton of the Matter, Not to Make Anything
 Public-This Rule is Absolute and Will
 be Enforced.
 Havana, Feb. 21.-The board of in- quiry into the Maine disaster met on the lighthouse tender Mangrove at 10 o'clock this morning with Captains Sampson and Chadwick and Lieuten- ant Commanders Potter and Mark present. Captain Sampson presided, and Lieutenant Commander Mark, re- gently executive officer of the Maine. acted as recorder. Captain Sigsbee, the commander of the Maine, was the first witness called. He was under ex- animation until o'clock, at which time an adjournment was taken. Captain Sampson received the Associated Press correspondent immediately after the session. He said in the course of the interview:
 IT would be glad to give the Associ- ated Press news, but owing to the deii- cate situation the board has decided to make nothing whatever public. I do not know what testimony may develop and it is only fair to the Spanish not to tell the public the testimony until the findings have been concluded. You may say that this rule is absolute. Due care will be taken for the rigid enforce ment of it, and all stories purporting to come from the court should be set down as false. have no idea as to how long the court will remain here No one is authorized to fix the time, as the mem bers themselves do not know. I will give the Associated Press such routine news of the proceedings as is proper"
 Captain Sigsbee, on board the Man grove, told the correspondent that he was quite pleased with the examina- tion and that he was able to answer all the questions asked, not only as to his own acts, but as to those of his subor- dinates on the Maine. He gave the correspondent watch to take ashore for repairs. The watch was found to- day in private drawer in the cap tain's cabin. The hour and second hands were gone, but the minute hand pointed to twenty-five minutes after four. There were no signs of disturb ance here to-day, and carnival week is apparently closing in quietude. Gun ner Charles Morgan of the cruiser New York arrived on the Mangrove and is in charge of the divers. The latter have been at work all day, but no dis coveries of importance have been made. It is believed that the salvage by the wrecking company will be considerable and valuable.

SPANISH NOT INTERFERING.
Investigation Into the Cause of the Maine
 Disaster.


 Havana, Feb. 21.-Consul General Lee says that the Spanish officials are not interfering with the investigation into the cause of the Maine disaster He has notified the captain of the port that the wrecking ship Right Arm will be here tomorrow and no objection will be made to her presence. She will probably make an early attempt to save the big guns. Tomorrow Consul General Lee will escort the officers of the court of inquiry to pay visits of ceremony to the captain general and Admiral Manterola. To-day the div CTS found a copper cylinder used in conveying charges to the six inch guns. The fact that it had exploded seems to show that there was an ex- plosion in the magazine for fixed am- intuition on the port side forward. All the wounded men except two are doing we'll. Paul Loftus, and one other will be taken to Key West Wednesday on the Bache. This afternoon the court of inquiry personally inspected the wreck of the Maine. By their invita- tion Captain Periel, appointed by the Spanish government as special agent to investigate the disaster, and his sec- retary viewed the divers at work. Cap tain Periel expressed his appreciation of the courtesies shown him by the court of inquiry. A number of bodies were discovered in the forward hatch. It was not possible to remove them immediately, but they will probably be removed tomorrow.

 100 Members-Ofhcors Elected.
 Although there has been no loud war talk in New Haven since the blowing up of the battleship Maine startled the country it is nevertheless fact that some of the citizens of the city have taken the matter of possible war into consideration and are ready at a few hours notice to offer their services to the government. In quiet sort of way a company of more than 100 men has been formed in the Sixth ward with the understanding and agreement between the organization that if war breaks out between this country and Spain they will at once volunteer as a company.
