Use for Partly Worn Ever
Gowns.

Many really beautiful dresses for the
summer have been formed by using the
partly worn silk gowns of past sea-
sons for the foundation for new outer
dresses of muslin, net, grenadine, eta
mine, and other transparent or semi
diaphanous textiles. Black and white
silks, plaids, moires, brocades, shot
patterns, stripes, and other plain and
fancy silks have been utilized even by
fashionable dressmakers who have sent
the renovated gowns home, looking, in
not a few instances, prettier and dain-
tier than when they were new.

The programme now is to hold the ex- pression of opinion down to the mini mum pending the negotiations of the president and the deliberations of the committee. There is very little heart in the senate for any other business than that relating to Cuba, and the probabilities are that comparatively little will be done and that the sessions will be comparatively short. Aside from Senator Moneys speech there is a special order providing for the taking up of the private pension bills on the calendar tomorrow, beginning at one o'clock. Tuesday at o'clock eulogies will be delivered on the late Senator Earle of South Carolina. Senator Caf- fery's speech on the quarantine bill, which has already run for two days, has not been completed and it may be resumed during the week. It may be said in general way, however, that Cuba will occupy almost the entire week, though it is not the subject of the senate. The sundry civil appropri- ation bill probably will be reported to the senate tomorrow and taken up for consideration late in the week.

 Rendezvous at Pe-Chi-Le.
 London, March 2S.-The Daily News says this morning it understands that after Fridays cabinet council orders were dispatched to the British fleet in Chinese waters to rendezvous in the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Le with a view of strengthening the diplomacy of Sir Claude Mcdonald, the British minister in China.
 The Times commenting editorially on the extremely serious situation in the far east, where it assumes the British fleet will now resume the attitude in the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Le which should should never have been abandoned says: England at the present moment possesses practically neither a prime minister nor a foreign minister. Ar thur Ba1four would make a capital for eign minister, if appointed permanent ly, but he cannot be spared from the leadership of the house of commons We hope, therefore that Lord Sails bury will ere long devolve the foreign secretaryship upon one of his col- leagues

 lass and Terribly Injured.
 About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the New Haven hospital ambulance was called to Belle dock to take an in- jured man from barge No. of the New York and New Haven Transpor- tation company. The man was David Murray of New London, about thirty five years of age, and captain of the barge It seems that while the barge was out on the sound yesterday after noon Captain Murray was at work with a large scooop and steam windlass, operated by a donkey engine, taking quantity of ashes out of the hold and dumping the material overheard. Mur- ray was standing at the windless while his helper was down in the hold, load ing up the scoop as it was sent down, the only other persons on the boat be- sides Murray and his helper being his wife and two small children. In same way Murray's clothing became caught in the steam windlass and he was jerked from his feet and whipped around by the windlass as it rapidly revolved. Mrs. Murray happened to be on the uecA ana nearing ner nuSDdnQ cry out, turned towards him and saw his awful predicament. Taking in the situation at glance she rushed to the engine and turned off the steam, stop- ping the windlass not, however, before her husband had been terribly injured. His left arm had been torn off just be. low the shoulder and his left leg broken and the bone crushed besides being badly bruised on other portions of the body. At the hospital last night his condition was considered to be most serious and it was not thought that he could recover.

ELECTIONS TN STAIN.
The sngasta Party Will Have an Enor-
 mons Majority.


 nous Majority.
 Madrid, March 27.-The elections for the popular branch of the cortes have passed off, on the whole, quietly. The indications are that the government of Senor Sagasta will have an enormous majority, estimated at 300 of the 432 seats in the congress. The elections in the capital were without special in- cident. The elected deputies include five liberals, one indpendent and two conservatives. Despite great precau- tions at Bilbao there was much disor- der there. A body of one hundred min- CTS tried to commit acts of violence. It is reported that a socialist has beaten a conservative candidate there. All other conservatives were elected. Senor Gullon, the minister of foreign affairs, still speaks hopefully, but in very re- served teams regarding the recent ex- change of views with European gov- ernments. Diplomacy is most active, all the ambassadors are receiving long communications from their respective governments The newspapers attach the greatest importance to this phase of the question, so much so that in- terest in the elections is almost lacks ing.

Three Men Seriously Injured at Water
 Street Bridge Yesterday Morning.

Street Bridge Yesterday Morning.
 While at work on a trestle painting the Water street bridge over the rail- road laborers were precipitated to the ground about fifteen feet below by the breaking of the trestle and three were seriously injured. The accident occur red at 9:30 and two of the injured men were taken to the hospital in the hos. pital ambulance, while the third was taken in the police ambulance. The men are Jeremiah O'Connor of 120 East street, who received simple fracture of the right leg; his brother Patrick O'Connor, who received a confusion of the left side, and possibly a broken rib, and Timothy Sullivan, who was the worst injured of the three, and whose body was entirely paralyzed be- low the breast, indicating an injury to the spinal cord. His condition is seri- ous and few hopes of his recovery are entertained. Sullivan is a married man and has several children.
 When the accident occurred, about a dozen laborers were standing on a tres- tie swinging from the bridge and were engaged in scraping old paint from the lower part of the bridge preparatory to repainting it. The weight of so many men on the one plank was too great for the fastenings to stand the strain and the result was the fall. All those on the trestle at the time it fell were bruised and badly shaken up, but the three above mentioned were the most seriously injured.

 About noon Sergeant Williams with Policemen Rice and T. Smith dropped into the house of Joseph McLauchlan at 71 Putnam street with a search war rant. The doors were locked, but they burst in back door and found Me- Lauchlan and four men in bed room.
 The men acted very much perturbed and the policemen after looking around found three empty beer schooners with foam inside showed under the covering of the bed in the room. Another schooner was 1OunQ under a lounge. Mclaughlin keeps a saloon adjoining his apartments.
 Policemen Rice, McKeon and Doran visited the house of Antonio Guro at 12S Morris street in the forenoon and found on ample supply of liquid re- treatments; 1O9 empty beer bottles Were found, two bottles of whiskey and thir- tpeo hntt1as of hanr

FINDINa OF SPANISH COURT.
Ministry Eager to Draw McKinley's
 Attention to It.

Attention to It.
 London, March 2S.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Times says: The ministry is eager to draw McKinley's attention at the earliest moment to the report of the Spanish commission as to the Maine and it is understood that messenger is going from Hava- na with the document, reaching Wash ington probably on Tuesday. The gov- presentation of the two reports to con- gress would avert or at any rate miti- gate any tempestuous display of feel ing.
 Should, however, the Spanish report arrive at Washington too late or other wise be withheld from the immediate perusal of congress, it is suggested that Senor Y Bernabe be directed to print it at the cost of the Spanish legation in Washington and thus secure for it the ear of the American people. Although it is not understood why, under such delicate circumstances, President Me Kinley should be, in such haste to sub init the American report, it is hoped that he will also submit the Spanish report. On Wednesday United States Minister Woodford had an interview with the ministers of foreign affairs and the colonies, Senors Gullon and Morte at their private residences. It lasted two hours. General Woodford left with them an official note explain ing the views of the American govern ment.
 In this document no intimation was made nor any date fixed but it was clearly and firmly stated that the United States could not longer with hold from congress the correspondence and consular reports which not only put in full light the condition of the distressed rural population of Cuba, the inadequate relief and the persist ence of disaffection, but also showed that the new colonial policy and other efforts of Spain had not produced the results that would justify holding out for the pacification of Cuba any longer.
 The Spanish reply shows that gov ernment believes it has reached the limit of concessions compatible with honor and dignity of Spain and will not admit encroachments on her rights of sovereignty in the west. The matter now rests with the president and both governments undoubtedly consider the Maine affair a mere incl dent in the more important issues about to be raised by the conduct of the United States.
 The Times, in an editorial quoting the statement of it's New York core spondent, George Smalley, that de spite the war talk the best opinions still hold to President Mckinley and peace, and the greatest danger is from a possible irresistible outburst of un- reasoning if generous sentiment, ' says: This does not tend to lessen the chances of war, for, although such waves of sentiment not infrequently subside as rapidly as they arise, they may last long enough to lead, for good l or evil, to irrevocable disaster"

of making propositions of this charac- ter as the basis of a settlement most satisfactory to all parties and it is hoped from Spain's attitude that this time has arrived. The friends of the administration feel that the situation is a very delicate one and that much will depend upon the course congress may pursue. In the meantime the president will on Wednesday send in his message asking that an appropria- tion be made for the aid of the desti- ute Cubans.

PROBLEM AT SEARS.
May Be Ultimately Necessary to
Appeal to the Leg

PETITION FOR TOWNS DISSOLUTION

Claim That the Action of the Trustees in
Passing An Ordinance Allowing the
Larger Property Interests to Withdraw
From the Corporation Was Illegal, Not
Receiving Enough Votss.
An appeal to the general assembly
may be ultimately necessary on the
part of the people of the town of
Sears in order to satisfactorily solve
the problem that has been keeping
them at their wits ends for the past
several weeks. Such is the opinion
of an attorney who is interested in the
case. He holds that the action taken
by the village trustees in passing an
ordinance providing for the secession
from the corporation of holders of the
greater portion of the property orig
inally represented in the organization
was Illegal, because it only received
