GOVERNMENT AID TO WEST IN.
 DIES.
The Subject Discussed in the House of
 Commons.

The Subject Discussed in the House of
 Commons.
 London, Aug. 2.-Speaking of the possibility of government aid to the British West Indies, the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber lain, said in the house of commons to- day, that the governments policy was not settled, pending the result of the reciprocity negotiations between the United States and the West Indies.
 Continuing, MT. Chamberlain re- marked that he felt the United States officials very hard bargainers indeed and it was uncertain whether her maj- esty's government would be able to &C., cept any of the terms offered. Coun- tervailing duties, he added, to protect the West Indies against the bounty on sugar, were possible in case an under standing with the United States was not arrived at.
 '"The interest and honor of this coun- try" MT. Chamberlain also said, de mand that the West Indian colonies be not destroyed"
 Referring to the same subject the secretary for the colonies remarked lat CT that her majesty's government wish ed to establish direct communication between Canada, Jamaica and London in order to foster the fruit trade.

APPEALS FROM ASSESSMENTS.

APPEALS FROM ASSESSMENTS. The New Haven Steam Sawmill company through it's receiver, George
 B. Martin, yesterday filed with the city clerk two appeals from the assessments of benefits and damages recommended by the bureau of compensation. One appeal was from the assessment be- cause of the change of grade and the other from the assessment for a new layout on East Chapel street, the change of grade and layout being for the new railroad bridge already com pleted and Che drawbridge over Mill river, which will be built The report of the bureau of compensation on these matters has not yet been adopted by | the court of common council An ap- | peal from assessment for the same changes was also filed yesterday by | John s. Cannon, executor of the estate | of the late William P. Dickerman. IS THIS THE GRANDFATHER? | s. A. Danforth writes to- one of the l city papers concerning the inquiry for ancestors from a Texas man, as fol- | lows: Sir: 'Tis said to be rare that a westerner knows that he ever had a grandfather. Since the man in Texas knows that his wife had one and wishes
 to learn about him, I think he should
 be encouraged, and would submit to l the reporter of The Courier who tried
 to aid him the following entry which I l find in the record of the Portland | (Conn) Burying Ground Association: I "Agift Pease. Died October 19 184S.
 Age 79." Whether he be the William Agift" inquired for, of course I cannot
 say. I remember I used to see the
 stone and it was told that he was born
 on Christmas or New Years day, and
 the happiness of his parents found ex- pression in the name "A gift" which | little story so took my childish fancy
 that the inquiry at once called it to mind. By all means let us help the
 west in finding it's grandfathers.
 Very respectfully,

THE KRUPP ARMoR.

According to dispa tches from Wash
tngton 1t is more than likely that the
officers Of the ordnance bureau will re-
commend the use OF the recently in
vented Krupp armor in the con-
strIction of the battlcships for which
contracts have just been awarded
1t Is claimed that experiments have
shown that six inches OF the new armor
is equal to eight inches of the Harvey
ICED nicke steel. If this be true the
determination of the board is the only
one which could be justified by COM
mon sense Experience has shown
that the United States navy is at
present up-to-date on both offensive
and defensive lines. The Brooklyn
proved that comparatively thin Har-
veyized armor can stand good
deal of pounding even at close
quarters. With the increased per-
centage of resistance claimed for
the new plate it would be
possible to build battleshps of fas-
ter and lighter class without weaken
ing them at all at any essential point.
Inasmuch as these are the main con
siderations in building ships now. it
Is to be hoped that a fair and exhaust
i've test of the new armor will be made
Then il the claims of the krupp peo-
people are found to be correct the bat
tleships and cruisers that are to be
added to Uncle Sans navy should be
coated with this splendid armor. No
captious or mistaken idea of economy
should deter the government from put
ting the very best material that can
be had into the floating defenders Of
the national honor.
American sailors and American gum
ners are the equals of any men ahoat
or ashore. They should have the ad-
vantage of the latest and most i'm
proved ideas in shipbuilding The
United States navy must keep pace

BICYCLE BUILT FOR TEN.
Members of the Laurel Club Tried
1t with Some Success

A dozen or more members of the Laurel
Cycle club took the famous "Oriten." the
ten-seated cycle, out to the fair grounds YES
terday afternoon for an initial trial. Tho
machine in construction Is a. wonder and
weighs over 800 pounds. 1t Is said to have cost
the manufacturers over $4,000 to build II
AT first the riders experienced considerable
difficulty in getting the machine under way
A team of five men tried 1t with Fenwick II
Low, president OF the club, as best man. on
the steering seat most difficult and dam
gerous position on q machine of such pro-
portions. After several trials the ten riders
secured their balance and rolled off a mile
in about 3 minutes, which might be consid-
cred fast time, taking into consideration the
fact that the riders were wholly unacouainted
with the machine.
The chain work on the cycle is one OF the
most interesting parts OF the machine The
first two chains are ordinary wheel chains
but as they go backward they are made larger
until the last chain, which bears the bulk of
the burden is made twice as large as an
ordinary link chain. The tubing is from 2h
to inches and the tires are about the size
OF hre engine hose. The steering apparatus
can only best be explained by making a per-
sonal inspection Of the machine In riding the
cycle the frame of the machine swings back
and forth, but this can partially be overcome
by the steersman, upon whose Judgment and
strength depend the lives of the crew
The team experienced several bad spills
yesterday but aside from few bruises no
damage was done either to the riders or the
wheel. The wheel Will be ridden an exhibit
ton mile this afternoon at the state fn!r
grounds in connection with the bicycle races
