The correspondent of The Spy had
talk with Detective Murray after he
returned to Clinton this afternoon.
He said: you know as much about
it as l do. It's all guess work. We
don't know who she is, or how she
got there, or what killed her. The first
thing to do is to find out eonclusively
who she is"
There has been q delay of another
day in the matter of having William
Shedden see the remains. The only
tangible thing in the case is his opin-
ion that the remains may be those Of
his wife. He thinks he can tell for GER
tain whether they are or not if he can
see them.

TWO ENGLISHMEN SEIZED.

Manila, June q, p. m.-The insur-
gent army has taken to the swamps
and hills beyond linus. The largest
force is supposed to be in the neigh
borhood of San Francisco de Malabon,
holding a position more toward the
lake or toward the coast, according as
exigencies demand.
Copies of the insurgent organ indie
pendencia show that the Filipinos'
hopes of success are kept ahame by
political movements in America The
Independencia prints reports of alleged
speeches made at alleged meetings in
the United States denouncing the war
and IL asserts that these represent the
dominant American sentiment 1t de-
clares also that the Filipinos will con-
tinue the war until the next presiden-
tfal campaign, which is sure to result
in a decision to withdraw the American
troops from the Philippines"
1t is reported that the Spanish gar
rison at Baler in the province of
PrinciDe, on the east coast of Luzon,
which had become reduced to SO men,
finally surrendered to the F'ilipinos,
after holding out for a wear.
The Filipinos imprisoned two Eng
lshmen at Tachlebon, in the Island of
Samar, southeast of Luzon. The Brit
ish first-class cruiser Grafton steamed
to that point from Cebu and her COM
mander demanded their release. When
this was refused, he landed a force of
marines and cleared his ship for action,
whereupon the Englishmen were hand
ed over.

YOUNG LAD DROWNED.
William Lacrosse Sinks
With None to Hear
His Cries.

William Lacrosse, 7 years old, son of
Cyprian Lacrosse, a machinist en-
ployed at the Grove street works of
the Washburn & Moen Wire company,
was drowned yesterday morning in
Curtis pond, near ]. C. Waters busting
works on Curtis street.
The young fellow has not lived with
his father for several years, having
been adopted by Peter Goodney, car
pet layer living on Curtis street, near
the busting works. He left the house
yesterday morning with the intention of
going to the Webster square school,
where he attended the second grade,
and it Is supposed that in walking along
the edge of the pond on stone wall,
one of the stones slipped and he fell in.
Yesterday morning about II o'clock
Otis l.. SWEET, carpet layer employed
by j. c. Waters found the boys hat
floating on the water about 20 feet from
the bridge, and this was the first init
nation that his foster parents had OF
the lads untimely end.
They waited until II o'clock for him
to return from school and when he did
not come Mr.. Goodney telephoned the
Waldo street station and Chief of Po-
lice James M. brennan sent Officers
6ulllNd al eLllQ COIluy " Tie NOOullCy
home, where they were told the story OF
the finding of the boys hat.
The officers secured graphing irons
and after dragging for IS minutes Of
flcer Sullivan caught the boys clothing
and pulled him to the surface. Under
taken Murray was telephoned for and
he took charge of the remains, taking
| them to his undertaking rooms, AZ Park
street. Later the body was delivered to
Undertaken Roy who prepared it for
| burial
The funeral will be from the home on
Curtis street, Friday afternoon at
o'clock, with services in the Church of
the Holy Name of Jesus at o'clock
Interment will be in the French ceme-
terry.
The boy was an usually bright lad
and as far as known, not one person
saw him die. Joseph Callahan assisted
Officer Sullivan to take the boys body
out of the water after it had been re-
| covered. His foster parents are nearly
Frustrated over his death. The water
near the bank is about feet deep, but
a few feet from the shore the ground
falls off suddenly and as the boy could
not swim a stroke his chances for get
ting out were not good.
Medical Examiner F. H. Baker was
called and performed an autopsy.

Executive Committee:

Springfield, June 21.-The president
broke over his rule today and made
another speech. 1t was purely spon-
taneous and quite unexpected, and was
due to the greeting fully 10000 people
had given him at the reception in front
of city hall. Former Lieut.. Gov. Halle
introduced the president to the multi
tude, saying that he would not make
a speech, but the president did speak,
and his words found hearty favor
among his hearers. He spoke as fol-
lows:
Fellow citizens: I desire to express
the very great pleasure / have taken in
the more than generous welcome that
has been given me by the citizens of
Springfield. This would be a good time
for Springfield to take her census. 1
am prepared for any population that
your enumerators may obtain this
year.
Il have been glad during the day to
witness the devotion of your people, old
and young, to the old flag that all of
US love. l have been glad to nruet the
veterans of 81 and IS, who carried that
flag to honor and glory. l have been
glad to meet the members of the gal
liant Second Massachusetts, who car
ried that flag and brought it back with
added glory from the field of Santiago.
q was glad to see that flag in the
hands of 10000 school children of the
city. With that flag in our hands there
is sure to be patriotism in our hearts
1t stands today for more than it ever
did in the past It stands not for des-
potism, but for peace and prosperity,
liberty and law wherever it floats.
Il thank you for this reception from
the bottom of my heart, and only re-
greet that l did not shake hands with
you all. Being unable to shake hands
with you ALL now bid you goodbye"
The day was absolutely perfect, and
the ride down the river from Holyoke
to Springfield was the best feature of
the outing, with the possible exception
of the Mt. Tom trip. The arrangements
were carried out without hitch. The
drive around the city Of Springfield
was delightful, and there was a visit
to the arsenal grounds, a lunch, and
then a reception at the city hall. En-
thusiasm was continuous, and the
booming of cannon giving the national
salute punctuated the applause with
which the president was greeted.

HARD DAYS WORK.
Harvard and Yale Crews
Put to Heavy
Test.

Gales Ferry, Ct, June 21. - Today has
been an unusually hard one for the Har-
ward eight, and the freshmen are likewise
inclined to think their initial practice on
the Thames has been no easy one. After
sending the eight on time pull, 1t has
been customary to take the crew back to
quarters on the launch, but this evening,
after pulling over the four-mile course,
the varsity eight was allowed to pull two
and a half miles on the return
The form of the crew, as far as could
be determined in the darkness, was a
slight improvement on the last time they
rowed over the course last week Thurs
day.
Coach j. j. Storrow of the freshmen
crew returned to Boston today, but will
be back Friday. In the meantime the
crew will be in charge of Donovan, the
professional coach.
This was the first day at Broadview
when the men were free from anxiety in
cident to their examinations, with the re-
suit that the men were given hard days
work. 1t was after o'clock when the
Yale varsity crew left the float for the
evening pull. They padded over to the
start in a number of short stretches, and
We're soon Joined by the freshmen boat.
The coaches had decided that a race be-
tween the freshmen and the varsity
would prove mutually beneficial. When
the word to start was given the weather
conditions were ideal, and both crews
pulled vigorously. The varsity gained all
most half length, but during the re-
mainder of the first half mile the fresh
men stuck close to the older and more
experienced crew.
From the half mile the test seemed to
tell somewhat on the freshmen, for when
the brush was finished at the mile mark
the varsity led by over a length. The
time was something less than $40, and
was especially gratifying from the stand
point of the freshmen.

FOR ONE FARE,
Passengers on Lake Line Can Ride Around
Into Foster street.

The following order to conductors
was posted yesterday at the Market
street barns of the Consolidated rail-
way:
"On and after this date, passengers
on the lake line on the up trip may
ride around into Foster street as far as
the turnout for one fare. Passengers
going down can board a car on Front
street after it passes Trumbull street"
The order is the direct outcome Of
an investigation Of the case of the
young man who was arrested Tuesday
afternoon on a charge of evading car
fare and whose case was placed on
file in the central district court yes
terday morning.
The officials of the road are convinced
that the young man did not deliberately
attempt to evade paying his fare, but
was rather asserting what he believed
to be his rights. He had paid one fare
from the lake and insisted on his right
to ride through Main street to Foster
without paying again The officials of
the road after investigating evidently
agreed with him, hence the order from
Superintendent John N. Akarman
The turnout mentioned is at Bridge
street
A second order issued yesterday con-
tains warning that open cars on the
lake line must be run slowly and care
fully when there are passengers on the
running boards. Conductors are
warned against collecting fares from
the left side of the car, which is the
side nearest the other track, as they
are liable to be brushed off in passing
another car by passengers on the run
ming board Of such a car. Be careful
in going down Belmont street hill, and
not run at a speed greater than eight
miles an hour"
