Watch and Money That Had Belonged
to an Inmate Taken.

Danbury, Feb. 22.-One of the most
remarkable burglaries which has ever
come to the attention of the authorities
was reported to-day and considerable
uneasiness is felt in view of the facts,
lest serious consequences will result, as
the burglary took place from the pest
house. Thomas Higgins, a saloonkeep-
er, who was suffering with loathsome
disease, was removed to the pesthouse
few days ago and died yesterday.
Among his possessions were a watch
and a sum OF money, which were left
in the place until they could be disin-
fected. The pesthouse is in an isolated
place and when the undertaken went
there to remove the remains for burial
it was discovered that it had been brok-
en- into and the watch and money stol-
en-. The danger of the stolen articles
being infected is the occasion of alarm.

GARDNER FL AHERTY FIGHT.
Results In Draw After Twenty Fas
Rounds.

Hartford, Feb. 22-Oscar Gardner and
Martin Flaherty fought a twenty-round
draw tonight before the Hawthorne
Athletic club in one of the finest battles
ever seen here. The building was pack
ed, and many prominent sporting men
from New York. Boston and other cities
saw the bout. Flaherty forced the fight
ing in the early part of the contest and
his vicious rushes threw Gardner all
over the ring. His fighting was mark
ed considerably by foul tactics, while
Gardner put up clean work throughout
Referee Whites decision was generally
applauded, as while Flaherty was the
more aggressive in the early part of the
fight, Gardner got in his good blows to-
ward the end and evened matters up.
The blocking of both men was superb,
and the exhibition, but for the fouls
mentioned, which, for that matter were
committed by both men, was one of
purest pugilistic science. The men
fought for the 126-pound championship
of the world.

SWefeO ny american FeOplcs
Washington, Feb. 22.-Wiliam J. Bry-
an, the guest of honor at the annual
banquet of the Virginia association in
this city tonight, speaking on the SUBJ
ject, Americas Mission" said among
other things: 1--WE have reach
ed another crisis. The ancient doctrine
of imperialism, banished from our land
more than century ago, has re-crossed
the Atlantic and challenged democracy
to. mortal combat upon American soil.
Whether the Spanish war shall be
known in history as war for liberty or
as war of conoeust; whether the
principles of government shall be-
strengthened or abandoned; whether
this nation shall remain homogeneous
republic or become a heterogeneous em-
plre-these questions must be answered
by the American people-when they
speak, and not until then, will destiny
be revealed"
''The forcible annexation of the Phil
ippine islands is not necessary to make
the United States world power. For
over ten decades our nation has been
world power. During it's brief existence
it has exerted upon the human race an
influence more potent for good than all
the other nations of the earth combined
and it has exerted that influence with
out sword or gatling gun. Mexico and
the republics of Central and South
America testify to the benign influence
of our institutions, while Europe and
Asia give evidence of the working OF
the leaven of self-government. In the
growth of democracy we observe the
triumphant march of an idea, an idea
that would be weighed down rather
than aided by the armor and the
weapons preferred by Imperialism,

ia YLOR DENIED A HE1RING.
Action of Prison Committee of the Leg
islature Yesterday.

Hartford Feb. 22.-The state prison
committee this afternoon gave a. hear
ing on the petition of James F. Taylor,
now an inmate of the state prison at
Wethersfield, to be released. The COM
mittee decided, after hearing State At
torney Williams of New Haven county,
Warden Woodbridge and Secretary Nc
Lean of the board of pardons, to deny
Taylor a hearing on the merits of his
case on the ground that to take the
matter up after it's rejection by the
board of pardons would be virtually to
return to the system in vogue before the
board was created in 1883. Taylor is a
life prisoner from New Haven, convict
ed on the charge of the murder of Mar
garet Ernst in 1887. He has already
served nearly twelve years and has six
or seven times petitoned the board of

THE SITUATION IN MADRID
BILL FOR THE CESSION OF THE
PHILIPPINES.
anime 1t Results in Only u Nominal
ministerial Success-The Government
Again Vigorously Attacked In the
COrtes-Senor Sngasta's Defense.

Madrid, Feb. 22.-The meeting of the
bureau this evening to appoint a COM
mission to examine the bill for the ces-
sion of the Philippines resulted in only
nominal ministerial success AL
though the ministerial candidates chos-
en- were four and the opposition candi-
dates only three, yet on division the
opposition will muster ninety-two votes
as against eighty-seven ministerialists.
The opposition will therefore submit a
counter measure.
The republican measure in favor of
summoning the constituent assembly
led to a stormy debate in the chamber
of deputies Professor Salmeron, the
republican leader, in the course of a
violent speech, said the republicans
had resumed their seats in parliament
in order to force the government to ac-
cept it's responsibilities. In his opinion,
not only those governing, but present
INSTITUTIONS themselves NOulu ldll
victims to the present disturb
ances. He severely censured the
ministers for endeavoring to save the
monarchy rather than the country.
Your colonial policy" he said, was
disastrous because you Joined sword
and cassock in order to restore a feu-
dal theocracy, with all sorts of privi-
leges. The government has surrender
ed to the United States Spain's whole
colonial empire and the peace that has
been signed is the most shameful re-
corded in history"
Professor Salmeron after being called
to order for yelled reference to the
crown declared that the conservative
party was primarily responsible for the
country's disaster since it had failed to
apply in Cuba reforms voted by all
parties and that the present govern
ment must also be held responsible for
making a dishonorable peace He ad-
vocated calling the constituent assem-
bly, which, he said, would kill forever
both Carlism and any attempt at dicta-
torship." He appealed to all the liber-
and so prevent the triumph of the vat
ican and the reactionaries.
Senior Sagasta replying said: 1--WE lost
the colonies, but we have avoided civil
war. When you were in power great
er calamities occurred. The United
States drove us to war for which no
regime is blameable, and no regime
could make nation, weakened by two
colonial rebellions, strong. I will op-
pose reaction with all my force. I am
incapable OF destroying the nations lib
critics. 1t is the republicans alone who
endanger the liberties of the country by
breaking the law" The result of the
debate in the chamber upon the motion
of Senor Silvela, leader of the conser-
vatives, censuring the government for
indifference to the country's troubles
was the withdrawal of the session..
