HIS NECK BROKEN.
Foreman Lester Killed In Rubber Re-
Claiming Plant In Naucatuclx

Naugatuck. Jan. 2e.-Frederick Les
ter, aged thirty eight, foreman in the
reclaiming plant of the United States
Rubber company, was caught in a
drag at 43O this afternoon and had
his neck broken. He leaves widow
and three children. The accident was
due, it is thought, to his own careless
ness 1t is believed that he got into
the small shed, which was about one
hundred feet from the main factory,
where the old rubber khoes that are to
be reclaimed are stored. The drag"
is an endless chain arrangement, and
it is supposed that one of the shoes got
caught so as to interfere with its run
ming. The shed is only five feet square,
and it is believed that after Mr.. Les
ter had removed the obstruction it
started up unexpectedly and caught
him. The remains were viewed by Dep
uty Coroner Johnson, who pronounced
death to be accidental.

PRESIDENT Alta ACKED IN SENATE.
Criticism of His Failure to Submit Paris
Conference Documents.


| Washington Jan. 26.-To-day's exec
utive session Of the senate was consurn-
ed in discussion of the failure OF the
president so far to send the senate the
documents in his possession and on lille
in the state department bearing upon
the Paris conference. Senator German
raised the point as soon as the doors
were closed that the resolution had
been adopted several days since and
addressed the senate at some length on
the failure of the president to respond
to the senate's request for information.
His attack was followed by similar
speeches by Senators Vest and Hoar,
and they were replied to by Senators
Spooner and Platt of Connecticut. The
five senators engaged in a running de-
bate, the opponents of the treaty con-
tending that the senate was entitled, as
a part of the treaty making power, to
all the facts bearing upon the case, and
the supporters of the document holding
that the president could withhold any
papers which he did not consider in the
interest of the general welfare to give
out.
Senator Spooner cited the precedents
to show that the president could with
hold information of this character, and
that such course had been followed
when it was deemed unwise to make
N
that the president might feel more free
to communicate with the senate if he
could be sure of privacy in doing so.
No one professed to speak by authority
and all the senators who were heard in
support of the presidents course ex-
pressed confidence that the presidents
action, whatever it might be, would be
for the best interests of the public.
Replying to this latter point, Senator
Hoar said that no one could excel him
in admiration for the personal qualifi-
cations of the president or in confidence
in his patriotism. At the same time he
contended for his original proposition
that the senate was entitled to the pres
idents full confidence in passing upon
a question of so much Importance. He
thought there must be some reason for
putting the Philippines on footing so
different from the footing on which Gu
ba had been placed in the treaty. The
friends of the treaty profess confidence
that it will be ratified, but there is some
talk of adopting a negative resolution
to the effect that the treaty does not
bind the United States to the adoption
of a colonial policy.

Next Convention to be Held In Boston =
Election of Officers

Cincinnati, Jan. 26.-The next conyen-
ton of the National Manufacturers as
sociation will be held in Boston next
January. The election of officers re-
suited as follows: President, Theodore
C. Search of Philadelphia; secretary,
f. p. Wilson of Cincinnati; treasurer,
Charles A. Schieren OF New York; also
many vice presidents. The executive
committee includes among others Theo-
odore Search, Charles A. Schieren, F..
p Wilson, Charles A. Moore of New
York, George F. Coppens of Boston and
Pliny Jewett of Connecticut. In ac-
cepting the presidency for the fifth
term Mr. Search said that in reaching
out for foreign trade, with agencies in
other countries, the expenses of the as
sociation were increasing faster than
the revenue. In view of this fact fifty
three members signed a pledge to get
two new members each during the COM
ing year. AS the annual dues are $50
this would add $1,000 per year to the
treasury. 1t was decided to cooperate
with the chambers OF commerce, boards
of trade and other organizations for a
uniform classification of foreign rates.

SPANISH CABINET MEETING
SAG4STA WISHES IMNEDI4TE CON-
YOCATION OF CORTES.
Says Foreign Minister Has Information
That Mckinley Fears Treaty VIII be
Dcfeated-Trial OF Officers That Ca
pitulated Manila and Santiugo-MOn-
tOj o and CeryerR to be Vricd.

Madrid, Jan. 26-The cabinet met this
afternoon under the presidency of the
queen regent. The absence Of General
Correa was much commented upon and
1T is believed to have been caused by
a decision not yet divulged, reached by
the military tribunal, relative to Gen.
eral Jandurez, the Spanish commander,
who capitulated at Manila and who has
been In prison since yesterday, and
General Toral, who capitulated at San
tiago de Cuba, and who is absent from
Madrid.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, outlined
the governments intentions relative to
the peace treaty. He said that infor-
nation received by the minister of for
eign affairs had created the impression
that President Mckinley feared the
treaty would be defeated in the senate
and apprehended IAN obstinate resist
ance upon the part of the Philippine in
surgents against the Americans, who
desire to deprive them of independence
and debase the Spanish government"
Therefore the premier insisted that the
convocation of the cortes should not
longer be delayed.
The cabinet met again this evening,
Senior Sagasta presiding. 1t appears
that the evidence before the court mar
tial showed that General Jandurez had
sufficient ammunition and food to have
enabled him to resist longer. The court
ordered his arrest whereupon he sur
rendered himself. General Correa con-
ffrmed the arrest. 1t is reported that
the court martial will exonerate General
Toral on the ground that he acted I'M
der superior instructions, but that Ad-
miral Montojo who was defeated by
Admiral Dewey at Cavite, will be tried
for the incompetent condition of his
fleet. The newspapers assert that Ad-
miral Cervera is awaiting trial, and
that therefore he will not be able to
take his seat as senator on the reas-
sembing of the cortes.

would not object to the pensionlng OF
the eX-confederate soldiers. At the con-
clusion of his speech N1r. Butler with
drew his amendment. Mr.. Bate, DEM,
of Tennessee, himself distinguished
confederate officer, declared that While
the south believed il was right, the oc-
casion was not opportune for the propo-
sition which Mr.. Butler had made and
that the southern soldiers as a body did
not desire pensions from the general
government and he expressed his salts
faction that Mr.. Butler had withdrawn
his amendment.

hundred people to the Park city thea.
ter, proved fiasco. 1t is unnecessarv
to add that they were incensed as an
they received for their money was i
ten-round bout between Bennie Leon
and Tony Moran of Brooklyn. An at-
tachment placed on the box office re-
celpts was the cause of not having the
other bouts pulled off, as the boxers
would not go on when there was rio
assurance that they would get anys
money for it. The card was one or the
best drawing ones that had been pre-
sented this season in Bridgeport, and
the attendance was one of the largest.
al Woods, who has conducted several
events here previously, as well as In
New Haven, had the affair in charge,
and 1t Is stated that the attachment
was on account of a board bill that he
owed 1t is alleged that Wood took an
abrupt departure with the money he
had collected on the advance sale. AZ
ter the opening preliminary bout, in
which Leon got the decision over Mo-
ran, there was long, tedious wait and
then the referee announced that there
would not be any more events owing
to financial difficulties. Maher and
Conroy and Dan Murphy of Waterbury
and Harry Fischer of Brooklyn, who
were to box, appeared in the ring, but
as there was no money in sight the
men would not box, and the audience,
instead of having the satisfaction OF
witnessing two lively bouts, had to be
content with ten-round preliminary.
The expressions heard after the condi-
tion of affairs was learned would indi-
cate that boxing bouts had received g
knockout blow in this city.

NEW FOUNDL1ND AFFAIRS.
Retirement OF Sir Herbert Murray as

st. Johns, N. f., Jan. 26.-Sir Her
bert Murray, the retiring governor OF
New Foundland, who is to be succeeded
by Sir Henry Edward McCallum, late
governor and communicating chief of the
British colony of Lagos, West Africa,
sailed for England to-day Owing to
the unfriendly relations he sustained, in
consequence Cf his methods, toward both
political parties in the island, there was
no popular demonstration Of regret at
his departure No public or semi-pub-
lie bodies accompanied him to the
steamer and no gathering of citizens
witnessed his leaving. The whole Incl
dent was unique in the history of the
colony. He is the first retiring COVER
nor leaving the colony without receiving
farewell addresses.
Sir Herbert Harley Murray became
governor of New Foundland in 1895. He
was born in 1929 and is a son of the
late bishop of Rochester and Sarah
daughter of the ninth early of xinnoull.
During the last year of his governor
ship of New Foundland his intercourse
with the colonial ministers had been ex-
tremely strained and in one or two
cases, notably that of Mr. Morine, for
mer colonial minister of finance. Sir
Herbert Murray carried his enmity re-
peatedly to the very verge of personal
insult.
