ENSIGN PoWELsoN MARRIEs,
Ceremony Performed at the Episcopal
 Hospital ina Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Aug. 31.-Ensign Will liam Vannest Powelson, one of the sur- vivors of the battleship Maine and a hero of the war with Spain, was mar ried in his room in the Episcopal hospi- tai, this city, at 3:3O o'clock this after noon to Miss Margaret Olivia Millar of Wyoming, O., daughter of Colonel Mill lar, U. s. A. The ceremony was per- formed in one of the rooms of the hos pital by Rev. Dr. David H. Lovejoy, chaplain of the institution. Only a small bridal party was present, includ- ing MT. and Mrs. A. V. N. Powelson of Middletown, N. Y., the father and mother of the groom; Captain Sigsbee, who has taken a great interest in the young ensign, and several of the lat ter's naval comrades. Miss Clark, a friend of the bride, was also present. The father of Miss Millar, who is sta- toned at Montauk with his command, was unable to witness the ceremony. Ensign Powelson, who is suffering from a broken leg, the result of a fall down a hatchway of the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, was not able to stand up while Dr. Lovejoy performed the ceremony, and his bride stood beside his cot. The almost cheerless hospital room had been transformed into a veritable bow CT of roses for the occasion. For some days Miss Millar had been acting as nurse to her injured lover.

ANGIo-AMERICAN COMMISSION.
The Question of the Boundary Lines of
 Alaska Considered.

Quebec, Aug. 31.-Important work has been done by the conference com- missioners to-day and the remaining two days before the recess will prob ably be fully as important Although not officially announced, it is known the discussion to-day has been upon the question of boundary lines of Alaska. It is said that an agreement mas been reached by the joint commits sion and the settlement of the question will be left to an outside commission to be composed of foreign arbitrators or to commission of three composed of one from the United States, one from Great Britain and one from one of the foreign powers. The settlement of the boundaries is now merely a matter of interpretation of the old treaty of 1925. Surveys have been made by both the United States and Canada, and each nation now fully understands the con- tention of the other.

SIXTH MAsSACHUsETEs' SCANDAL.
Correspondent in the Matter-General
 Miles, Charges.

Boston, Aug. S1.-The correspondence between Governor Wolcott and Colonel Charles F. Woodward, formerly of the Sixth Massachusetts, who resigned from the regiment with a number of other officers while in Porto Rico, was given out tonight at the state house. The correspondence contains a letter addressed to the adjutant general by General Miles, in which the latter stat ed that Colonel Woodward feigned sickness at Santiago and again at Gua- nica, and that a surgeon on the hospi- tai ship ordered him ashore. He also makes charges against the lieutenant ward, in reply to the charges of General Miles, says that the statements are false, but some of them he cannot so prove. Governor Wolcott gives the cor respondence to the press through no desire of his own. He says that he re- fused to give out unless specially re- quested to do so by Colonel Woodward. The latter called on him this afternoon, filed an additional statement and then requested that all the papers in the case be made public.
 The charges against the officers as presented by General Miles and trans mitted to Governor Wolcott are given in the following letter.
 Colonel Charles F. Woodward, Wakefield,
 My Dear Sir: I deem it my duty to in- form you that in reply to a request sent by me to Hon. Russell A. Alger, sec retary of war, for Information regarding the cause of the resignarions and present con dition of the Sixth Massachusetts infantry, United States Volunteers, l received from the adfutant genera, the following n reply h adjutant general and dated Ponce, Porto Rico. August 5, 1898:
 When the Sixth Massachusetts infantry was ordered to be ready to disembark near Woodward feigned sickness. At Guancia when his regiment was ordered ashore he again feigned sickness and went on the hospital ship, was examined by Colonel Greenleaf, surgeon, who pronounced him well and ordered him off the ship During this time seven companies of his regiment were engaged in a sharp encounter under Woodward was ordered before the examin- ing board and rendered his resignation; it's acceptance will save expense Of a court martlal. The lieutenant colonel or the same regiment is incompetent. He was within sound of the fight and did not even assem- ble balance of regiment to reinforce part engaged, if it shoudl have been required. Acceptance of resignations of both these officers would benefit the service"
 In view of the above statement of Gen. eral Miles. I shall not make public, unless you so request, your repotr addressed to me dated August 20 and placed in my hands to- day. In which case the present communica- tion should also be made public.
 Very Truly Yours,
 Roger Wolcott

Violently Attacked for Ignorance Re-
 gardins the Czar's Proclamation.
 Paris, Aug. 31.-During the sittings of the cabinet to-day M. Delcasse, min ister for foreign affairs. is said to have been violently attacked by his col leagues for having been ignorant of the intention of Emperor Nicholas to issue his disarmament proclamation, but in face of the revival of the Dreyfus af- fair the disarmament proposal has talk en quite a secondary place. It is alleg- ed that several ministers, including M Brisson, the premier, M. Maruejouls, minister of commerce, and M. Trouillot, minister of the colonies, demanded a revision and the immediate superces- sion of several staff officers. M. Cav aignac, however, remained firm, oppos~ ing this course on the ground that Lieu tenant Colonel Henry's suicide has not altered the case affecting Dreyfus' guilt M. Faure has deferred his in- tended return to Havre. It would be impossible to describe the sensation that has thrilled Paris, and it is not un- likely that at the next meeting of the chamber of deputies the government will be defeated.

THIRTY TYPHOID PATIENTS.
Some of the Soldiers Are StiII Danger
 ously Ill nt the Hospital.

Among the sick soldiers at the New Haven hospital are thirty cases of ty- phoid fever, five of which are particu- larly serious ones. These five are John Hill, Frank Hodgens and Edward B. Heath. These latter are the most seri- ously i'll of all the soldiers at the hospi- tai. Ten or twelve of the soldiers are now convalescent and are able to go home, but most of them are regulars and are bound by strict army rules and regulations. Superintendent Stark weather last week wrote to General Wheeler stating the facts in regard to these men and asking for authority to give them furloughs to go home. No reply to the letter having been received, MT. Starkweather yesterday telegraph ed to General Wheeler concerning an answer to the letter and received a re- ply stating that the general had not received the letter. His telegram stat ed that he would send definite instruc- tions as to furloughs and transportation  to-day. These ten or dozen convales- cents are the ones who have been given rides about the city recently.
 Many offers of attentions and kind nesses to the soldiers had been received which could not be accepted. President Mix of the police board invited all sol- diers who could do so to attend the po- lice baseball game at savin Rock yes terday, but the attending physicians thought it best not to allow the boys to go because of fear of relapses. Man. ager Miller of the New Haven baseball team has invited all the sick soldiers who can to attend the state league games at any time they desire. Large numbers of offers of rides come in every day, and the boys thoroughly appreci- ate all these evidences of kindness from New Haven citizens. There have been in all 115 sick heroes sent to the hospi- tai, but of these two have died and five volunteers are home on five days fur loughs which the superintendent is au- thorized to grant to volunteers.

 Partly Destroyed.
 Savannah, Ga, Aug. 31.--While there was no loss of life from last nights storm which swept Savannah, the dam- age to property will foot up close to half a million dollars The storm be- gan early Tuesday night and ragged with increasing fury until o'clock this morning. It was at it's height be- tween 4 and ' o'clock, when the wind reached velocity of eighty miles an hour. When daylight came the streets were impossible from debris. Proba- bly one hundred buildings were wholly or partly unroofed and as many more were otherwise damaged. The roof was torn from half of the Savannah theater and the auditorium of that building was transformed into a lake.
 The First Baptist church is among the most heavily damaged buildings The entire western half of the roof was lifted from the walls and carried into the street below. St. Johns Episcopal church, the First and Independent Presbyterian and Lutheran Church of the Ascension were also damaged. In the business part of the city dozens of stores were unroofed and windows were blown in and the interior flooded. There was no telegraph communication until late this evening.

CITY SUED FOR $4a,OOO.
Contractor Geary's Claim for Work on
 Quinnipiac Bridge.

Quinnipiac Bridge.
 The trouble over the Grand avenue bridge crossing the Quinnipiac river in Fair Haven has not ceased by any means. While the bridge was in the process of construction there was always a hitch. To cap the climax James J. Geary, who was contractor, has brought through Hotchkiss & Asher suit against the city for 44,00O. Contractor Geary claims this is due him as balance. The city being given sufficient time to settle, had not taken advantage of this, he has sought legal methods to obtain his alleged dues.
 Owing to the various changes in the plans on which the contract was ob- tained by competition, also in addition to the numerous additional expenses which Contractor Geary was at that time put to, he claims that $44, GOO is a very conservative estimate of his ex- penditures. Hotchkiss & Asher served notice upon City Clerk Lyon yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The case will come up before the civil side of the superior court the first Tuesday in Oc- tober. Much interest will be centered here. as has always followed the bridge trouble.

Burglary in North ford.

The residence of Nathaniel Harrison in North Branford was entered by burglars Sunday while the family was at church and about $500 worth of fam fly silver and heirlooms were stolen. When the family returned from church they found two hickory clubs about three feet long lying on the piazza and the parlor windows smashed. Enter ing the house they found that it had been ransacked and many valuable ar ticles taken. Deputy Sheriff Bent of North Branford last night arrested a man on suspicion of having committed the burglary.
