Evident Idea of Repeating the kiao-
Chau Experiment..

LONDON, June 15.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Daily News says:
at seems almost impossible that Ger
many can have the idea of risking a war
with the United States by interference at
Manila. Nevertheless, it is equally inn
T0sSiBTe TO ignore the significance of the
fact that ideas of repeating the success
full Kia-Chau experiment are evidently
floating through the brains of naval per-
sonages whose influence is so great that
the matter deserves attention"

HEARTY RECEPTION.
Rendered the Rev Gardner S. Eldridge
 Last Night.

Rendered the Rev. Gardner S. Eldridge
 Last Night.
 In the Sunday school rooms of the First M. E. church, last night, was given splendid informal reception by the members of the church to the new and already very popular pastor the Rev. Gardner s. Eldridge. Despite the indictment weather there were several hundred members of the congregation present and the affair was very pleas ant one.
 The rooms were prettily decorated with flags, bunting and potted plants. There was an informal programme. After singing of "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name," Rev. J. s. Chadwick, pastor of Grace M. E. church, made a short, eloquent and very happy address on the topic: "Welcome to New Haven Methodism."
 The new pastor was then presented to the assembly by Charles A. Bald win in a neat and telling speech and the Rev. MT. Eldridge responded with a short and admirable talk. The church choir led the singing and all present joined in the song, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds''
 A general social time and light re- treatments followed.

WITH DEWEY

Special interest has been taken here in Acting Rear Admiral Dewey's glori- ous victory in the Philippines from the fact that Lieutenant Commander George F. Colvocoresses, the executive officer of the Concord, is an old Litch- field boy. He comes of fine fighting stock and has a splendid navy record. We are sure that when the full &C., counts reach us it will be seen that Lieutenant Commander Colvocoresses bore an active part in the humiliation of the Spaniards. Lieutenant Frank Kellogg of Waterbury, now on the Bal timore, the best cruiser in the Asiatic squadron, next to the Olympia, also has many friends in Litchfield, where he has frequently visited.-Litchfield Enquirer.

STATE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENI'
CONNECTICUT TDEPARTlrENT IN SES-
 SION IN NEW BRITAIN.

About 500 Delegates Present-The City
 Gaily Decorated in Honor of the Veterans Reports of Commander Bates and
 Other officers-Camp Fire at the Russ
 win, Last Evening.
 New Britain, Conn.,, May 5.--This city was never more gaily or profusely decorated than to-day in honor of the veterans of '61 and '65, who assembled here for the thirty-first annual en- campment of the Connecticut G.. A. R. The decorations which were flung out yesterday in honor of the de- parture of the soldier boys were aug mented to-day and made a brilliant showing.
 As soon as Department Commander Bates of Putnam and his staff arrived, which was at Il o'clock, a business ses- sion was held at Hotel Russwin and the affairs of the year were settled up. The regular session was opened in Turner hall at o'clock this afternoon. The number of delegates and represen- tatives present were about 800. When these had been properly assigned by the committee on credentials, the con- mander read his report, in which he said:
 The membership of the department December 31, 1897, was 5,695, the net loss for the year being 235. The cash on hand April r, 1898, was $3,611.62.
 The report of Assistant General John H. Thacher shows that there were 127 deaths in the order during the vera, 12C members dropped and 337 suspended.
 The report of Assistant Quartermas- ter General William F. Morgan shows that the amount paid out of the relief fund for the year w;ts S5,309.26; from the post fund, $2,54S.4S; making a total from both funds of $7,S5774.
 Department Inspector J. c. Twichell of Meriden said the amount expended this year was $1, ,917.33 less than last.
 The Hon. William F. Simonds of Hartford, judge advocate of the de- partment, made special reference in his report to William T. Seward, who was prevented from becoming a member of the order in Admiral Foote post No. 1T of New Haven by an objection to the effect that he had once borne arms against the United States. The matter went up to the judge advocate general of previous administration, who sus- tained the objection, and his ruling was approved by the last national en- | component. The question has during the year again come up to depart ment headquarters, and an opinion has been rendered that Mir. Seward is eli gible for admission, but that no power short of a national encampment is now adequate to deal with the question The committee on the Soldiers Home Past Department Commander O. w Cornish, George R. Bevans, Benjamin Wright and Charles J. Bacon, also re- ported.
 National Commander Gobin of Penn sylvania, who was expected to be pres ent during the encampment, is at the head of the active forces in Pennsyl- vania.
 At the evening session Hon. William F. Simonds addressed the veterans.

EXCAVATIONS AT JERUSALEM.
Interesting Address by 6 Distinguished
 Archaeologist.

Interesting Address by a Distinguished
 Archaeologist.
 Frederick J. Bliss, Ph. D., field arch aeologist of the Palestine Exploration Fund, delivered lecture in Osborn hall last evening under the auspices of the department of biblical literature. The lecture was largely attended. The lec- turer described the methods employed and some of the results of exploration conducted by him at Lachish, in south ern Palestine, and near Jerusalm. At the former place the excavators found the debris of the ancient city in strata, which in a rough way represents the ages of progress. Flint implements were found in all the strata but more carefully made in the lower strata showing that they were more relied up- on in those periods. Iron implements were found in the upper strata as far down as twenty feet. In some these strata were found specimens of the pot tery of the day.
 At Jerusalem the work of the excava- tors was much more difficult, the strata being much broken up and irregular, and recurring the sinking of shafts and excayating tunnels. By these eXcava- tions long stretches of city walls were discovered which had been obliterated and built upon by the succeeding gen. erations. These show that the ancient Jerusalem was far more widely extend ed than is the modern city.
