TRANSFER OF TRAINING STATION. Navy Department Considering Establish
 ing It at New London.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The navy de- partment has under consideration a proposition for the transfer of the na- val training station from Coasters Is land in Newport harbor to New Lon don. For some time past the officials have believed that the institution might be operated to greater advan- tage away from Newport and the change would give the naval war col- lege the sole possession of the island. The proposition has now taken formal shape through report to the secre- tary of the navy from Captain Dick ems, the officer in the department who has direct charge of the training school and it's affairs. At New London the government now has a suitable reser- vation for the use of the apprentices, and while the few old buildings erected thereon are not entirely sufficient for the accommodation of the boys not much money would be required to place them in condition

yha,pe. Frozen Over.

New London, Jan. 31.-The few citi- zens who were about tonight witness ed the unusual spectacle of seeing con- siderable of the Thames frozen over. The storm which has prevailed to-day has been phenomenal. For the first time since 1888, when New England was visited by notable blizzard the Central Vermont has been materially behind schedule time and its steamer did not leave this port tonight. Neith- CT did the City of Worcester of the Norwich and New London line leave tonight. The Boston steamboat train leaving this city was three hours late also. The storm, while severe outside, has not occasioned a great delay in To- cal traffic, as the trolley company has kept it's blows going constantly. The harbor is full of tugs and tows, and shipping has been virtually at stand still at this port.

DARKER BREAD.
Joseph Letter, Experts Charge, is Forcing
 People to Eat It.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Joseph Letter, ac- cording to experts in the trade, is forc- ing thousands of people to eat darker bread than has ever been seen since the introduction of the patent roller process of making flour. His control of 15,000,000 bushels of contract wheat means, they say. that the millers are grinding the best grain they can pro- cure since their supply of No. 1 hard spring wheat has become exhausted, and the best is not very good. Grocers and retail flour dealers have been re- ceiving complaints regarding bread stuffs from cooks and housewives, who have sent back sacks and barrels of flour marked with the fanciest brands and bought at the highest price. But the loudest protests have been raised by the restaurant keepers and bakers who buy flour at wholesale.

TROUBLE IN MOROCCO.
British Steamer Fires on the Hassani
 Which Reciprocates.

Tangier, Jan. 31.-The British steam CT Tourmalin, it is officially announced, while attempting to land arms and stores on the Sus, coast of Morocco, was intercepted by the Sherifian steamer Hassani, whereupon she open ed fire. The Hassani reciprocated and captured one of the ships boats with three Englishmen. The Moorish troops then demolished the villages favorable to foreigners, killing numbers of the inhabitants. The difficulty appears to have arisen from the operations of a British mining company, the Glove Venture, a syndicate acting under a treaty whereby the sub-chiefs granted trading and mining monopoly over 1000 square miles of the Sus district.

New York,

New York, Jan. 31.-From 3 o'clock this morning until a late hour tonight snow fell in this city and vicinity, and tonight a strong west wind and drop ping temperature called forth many predictions of blizzard.

spite the weather.
 The benefit concert given at the Hy- perion theater last night for the fami- ly of the late Rabbi Rappaport was at tended by very large audience despite the weather. The management deserve great credit for the way the affair was
 worked up from business standpoint, and they also deserve praise for provid-
 ing a delightful concert Many feat
 ures of the programme were unusually enjoyable. The programme opened with two movements from the Judassohn
 sextet played by Mrs. Dessauer. flute; MT. Troostwyk, and Mrs. Shonin-
 ger, violins; R. Steinert, viola; Mir. Mil Ter, alto, and MT. Waud, bass. The two movements, the allegro and the andante, were charmingly played, It was so we'll done that it was a pity not to have played the rest. MT. Rap paport sang a tenor aria from '"The Queen of Sheba." His voice is a pure tenor of unusual quality and used with kAS Holy City" Samuel Baernstein, the young basso, concerning whom much fattering praises had reached our ears from Bridgeport and even far New York, proved himself well able to live up to his reputation. MT. Baernstein has a remarkable voice and sings with positively refreshing intelligence. The organ is of beautiful quality, smooth and luscious from top to bottom, and artistic MT. Baernstein sang Matteis Pro Patria' and for the encore in Tn Einem Tiefen Keller"
 l The Dessauer- -Troostwyk trio played twice. First the sixth Hungarian rhapsody of Liszt, and later a simple | little character piece by Langer and ] the "Toreador and Andalouse" of Ru- bernstein. All were brilliantly perform l ed. They were recalled and were oblig- ed to give encores after both numbers. Miss Sargent, the soprano, impressed one by her pretty manner and tasteful | singing.

 sang Goetze's Calm as the Night,

 Vancouver, B. C., Jan. 31.-The steamer Warrimoo, from Australia, brings news of appalling climatic con ditions which have been prevailing in many sections of Australia. The pros tratons from heat are so numerous that the condition of affairs in large cities is alarming. In a great many instances work is out of the question and sleep impossible. Telegrams show that the same conditions prevail all over the colonies.
 The temperature during the heat or the day averages about 124 in the shade and in long list of towns the lowest figure found is no. In the sun it is l60, so it is impossible to work at midday. The heat has caused numerous fires from spontaneous combustion and the houses are so baked during the day that in the worst section the residents sleep in gardens and on roofs. | The damage from fire is very great. It would appear from the press report that the total damage will amount to millions of pounds. In Victoria colony l 100000 acres have been swept clear and an enormous acreage of crops destroy ed. In other colonies houses and barns | have been burned.

TOABOLISH BOYCOTTS
American Federation OF Labor Will
Make A Strong Fight For The
Union Label.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2s.-The
proposition looking TO the aooll-
ton of all boycotts in organized
labor circles which will be
one of the most important mes sures to
come up at the coming con vention OF
the American Fed eT alton OF Labor, Is
arousing strong opposition and a bitter
fight is in prospect. The measure as
outlined contemplates an aggressive
campaign for the union label.
AL boycotts at present Instituted
against Fl ms and their outputs, and
list of which is publishe monthly in
the Official organ Of the federation,
will be declared off. The effort Will
then be made towards advertising and
incres sing the use of the union label,
and organized bodies will be schooled
in the idea that TO purchase an article
with the label upon it to the exclu-
sion of all non-union made goods
will accomplish more than the boy
colt.
Recent adverse court decisions In
damage suits brought by boy-cotted
firms and individuals sgainst labor
unions snd officials are believed to
have considerable to do with the deter
mination of the organ zed labor leaders
to do away with the boycott as wea-
Don of labor unions in the future.
