NOTHING EEINITE AS YET
Regarding the Work of the Canadian
Joint Commission.

Washington, July Ex-senator Fair
banks of the Canadian joint high COM
mission had another conference with
Secretary Hay and Commissioner Kas-
son to-day, after which he went to the
White house for a talk with the presi-
dent. The moves in the Alaskan boun-
diary dispute, which is now the sole
matter occupying the attention of the
commission, have been guarded with
the utmost secrecy. Neither Senator
Fairbanks nor Secretary Hay was will
ing to say anything definite about the
negotiations, but it was intimated that
no new proposition had been submitted
by Great Britain and that the imme-
diate business of the American side was
to study the essential features of the
plans embodied in the British note re-
Gently transmitted to Ambassador
Choate. Senator Fairbanks has been
able to tell Secretary Hay something's
CLEANED by personal observation of the
country around the Lynn canal and
nortllward which was covered on his re-
cent trip.
1t is said, however, that it is impossi-
Bile to give out any definite statement
just now on the status of he negotia-
tions as they are in purely formative
stage and liable to a complete overturn
at any hour, Neither will the members
of the commission say whether or not 1t
is settled that the commission will not
again set together on August 2.

PROCTOR SUPPORTS ALGER.
Ex-Secrctnry of War Says That His
Successor Has Been Abused,

| Boston, July Ex-senator Redfield
Proctor of Vermont former secretary Of
war; who was this city to-day, refer
ring to the resignation Of Secretary AL
ger in an interview, said: II think that
in due time you will see a reaction
against some of the abuse which has
been visited upon Secretary Alger. He
has been very seriously misrepresented
He is good business man and he has
worked hard and ably in his position,
and he is not deserving of the severe
crticims that have been passed on him.
When General Alger took charge Of the
war department he found himself hedg-
ed about with many difficulties over
which he had no control at all and
which are an outgrowth of the Ameri-
can system. With European govern
ments it is customary to make many
changes in the staff and to make such
reassignments as the circumstances de-
mand, but our system is positively in
flexible; a man upon the staff is there
during his military life and the secre-
tary of war is not free to reorganize
the business of his office to the best ad-
vantage. General Alger had no respon-
sibility at all for some of the policies or
acts for which he is criticised, and +
doubt if any other man in his position
could have done differently"

ELIHU ROOT, PROBA BLY.
VIII Succeed General A1eer as Secretary
War.

Washington, July 21-The name of
the successor of General Alger as sec
retary of the war department may be
announced tomorrow. The president
has made his selection and it is under
stood that Elihu Root Of New York is
his choice. The question Of the appoint
ment of a successor to Secretary Alger
was the subject of a conference to-
night at the White house between the
president and Senator Thomas c. Platt
of New York who came over on late
train. The conference lasted about an
hour and afterwards Mr. Platt said that
the president had about decided upon
the person to whom he would offer the
position and that an announcement of
his name would be made very soon,
probably tomorrow. The senator was
communicative as to who the ap-
pointee would probably be. The sena-
tor spoke of Francis V. Greene, whom
he said was his choice, but it is under
stood that General Greene is not the
presidents choice. A good understand
ing, however exists between the presi-
dent and the senator regarding the sec
retaryship. Senator Plat said: I'VE
did not disagree as to the man for the
position"

RECEIPTS -41TACHED.
Jewish Company Which Played at
PoIps Stranded.

|
There was a hot time at Polls theate
last night about o'clock, when Consta
BILE Siebert appeared with Max Ehrlich
a Jewish boarding house keeper, to at
tach the box receipts, wardrobe, Jewel
| ry or anything amounting to $50 for al
unpaid board bill of the Jewish theatri
cal company which presented "a Polish
Boy" at that theater last night.
Messrs. Hoch and Shenholze, mana.
gers of the company, had agreed to pay
| Ehrlich $50, the amount of the bill con-
tracted at the latter's place, before the
curtain went up at o'clock. Mr.. Ehr-
| Itch had his doubts about receiving his
| $50, and when s o'clock came he ap-
peared with Constable Siebert and at
tached the receipts of the company
which at the time amounted to about
rs cents.
This worried Ehrlich, so Constable
Siebert went upstairs and attached the
WARDROBE of the company, valued at
about $40, but later this was released
in order not to disappoint the large au-
dience which was eagerly waiting for
the play to commence. The constable
found it hard work to find $50, or any
thing that represented $50, belonging to
the company in the whole theater so
the next thing in order was to take
notes from the managers. JeWelry was
also thankfully received and three
rings belonging to Hoch were taken.
These, together with the notes given,
amounted to the price of the bill and
the constables fees
In the meantime it was getting late,
and when the managers were ready for
the show to commence, which was about
8 o'clock, another obstacle appeared in
their path The leading man absolutely
refused to say word until he was paid
the sum of $25, which had been prom
ised him before the show. This was a
serious matter, and things began to look
gloomy for Messrs Hoch and Shenholze.
There was no substitute for this part,
and the managers were desperate. The
leading man was as firm as the man
ayers were desperate and he saw he had
them at his mercy.
NhI' IloCll dllO SOliotdOiC
Siebert persuaded him to take notes
amounting to 500, and $50 the curtain
went up The overture had been played
five times and the audience was very
impatient, some jumping on the stage
and demanding that the show begin.
The second act began at II o'clock. and
as there were five acts on the pro-
gramme the chances are that the play
lasted until sunrise this morning.
All the trouble arose over the fact
that about two weeks ago an advance
agent for the company came to New
Haven and distributed hundreds Of
tickets among Hebrews in the city to
be sold here. The tickets were evident
ly sold, but no money was turned in by
those given tickets. Three or four He
brews were seen at the play night who
owed $40 or $12 apiece for tickets, but
We're unable, they said to collect it.
Manager Hoch left Polls last night
with one cent in his pocket. There was
a large audience present and the play,
it is said, was good one.

HEAVY Rains At MANILA
Make st Almost Impossible to Conduct
Military Operntions,

Manila, July q, $40 p. m.-The un-
precedented rains of the last week have
convinced observers here that military
operations on a large scale or advances
covering many miles will be impossible
for a long time. Many miles of the
country are flooded to a depth of three
or four feet. The Panaqua bridge, which
was considered impregnable, has been
swept away cutting off temporarily the
garrisons of linus, and Bacor from COM
munication with Manila. Under the cir
cumstances it would be impossible to
move wagon trains as the trails have
become doubtful. Pack mules will be
utilized if it should become possible for
soldiers to make marches. The Off
cials will have their hands full for some
time in arranging the departure of vol
unteers and in arranging the replacing
of them.

SUED FOR CONSPIRACY.
Jewish Bakers Made Defendants In a
Suit Brought by Grocer.


Suit Brought by Grocer.
Attorney Isadore Stein yesterday af-
ternoon brought suit in the interests of
Samuel Kaletski a grocer of 70 Wash
ington avenue, against Tame Levin and
Peetr Levine, bakers on Oak street, al
leging conspiracy. Property on Oak
street was attached for $1,000 1t seems
that Kaletzki sells bread at his grocery
and it is alleged that the Levins have
oonspired to prevent Kaletzki from get
ting bread from any of the Jewish bak-
ers in the city. The orthodox Jewish
people do not buy bread unless it is
made by Jewish baker and properly
''koshered," and consequently Kaletzki
found his trade much impaired when
he was unable to get kosher bread to
sell.
1t is alleged that Kaletzki at one time
owed the Levins bill which he did not
pay and that they to retaliate have at
tempted to prevent him from getting
bread to sell. It is alleged that they
not only refused to sell him bread at
Wholesale but threatened to reduce the
price of bread if any other Jewish bak-
ers supplied him. Kaletzki says that
he was then obliged to buy his bread
from other grocers at retail prices in
order to supply his customers. He says
that the Levns then threatened to re-
fuse to let the other grocers have bread
if they sold to Kaletzki
In the suit $1,000 damages are claim
ed and a separate for slander has been
brought against Tame Levin. The con-
spiracy case is returnable before the
superior court on the first Tuesday in
September and the slander suit is re-
turnable before Justice Louis e. ia
cobS.

saying: austria is sincerely friendly to
the United States.'' Admiral Dewey

Washington, July 21.-The board OF
naval chiefs decided to-day to give
thirty months for building the six new
protected cruisers instead of twenty
four months as was first contemplated.

CHIRG rs NOT FOUNDED.
New Hampshire state Funds Intact in
Treusurey's Hands


Concord, N. H., July 21.--At a meet
ing of the governor and council tonight
a report was made public of the COM
mittee appointed by the house of rep
resentatives to investigate and inquire
into the condition of the state treasur-
ers accouns. The charges for the COM
mittee to Investigate were made by the
late Hiram c. Gerrisf, ex-deputy state
treasurer and were brief: "That on
June |. 1891, there was a shortage of
$4,000 in the funds of the treasurer; af-
terward increased to $4,000 and to 49,,
500; that at the time of the annual aud
its from 1891 to 1895 certificates of de-
post We're put in to square accounts
which certificates disappeared immedi-
ately after the audit; that $1,000 of
the shortage was represented by an en-
velope with nothing inside it, which
money so represented was loaned to a
relative of the treasurer
The committee find upon investigation
that each and every one of the charg-
es made as above is wholly unwarrant-
ed and untrue. With the exception of
the amount taken by the burglars in
1895 the state Of New Hampshire has
not lost one dollar during the incum-
bency of Solon A. Carter as treasurer
and that there has not been day dur
ing that time when the funds of the
state have not been intact or properly
secured.
