A WESLEYAN TRADfTTON
Firing of the Douglass Cannon Not OBJ
served Last Night.

,
M1ddletown Feb. 21.-Contrary to ira
dltion at Wesleyan, the freshman class
failed to fire the Douglass cannon on
the campus to usher in the advent Of
Washington's birthday This was the
first time in thirty years that the Airing
of the cannon, which Is always marked
with rush and a fight, did not take
place The firing of the cannon was to
take place. according to the general un-
derstanding, between midnight and " a.
m., and the usual crowd of upper class
men and townsmen gathered to witness
an exciting struggle between the fresh
men and sophomores, but they Were
doomed to disappointment. A fake cam
non was brought out, but it did not fool
anybody. The original Douglass cam
non got into the possession of the soph-S
omores few months ago, and therefore
the freshmen made no special effort to
uphold traditions. The usual scouts
We're sent out, but no set-tos were in
dulged in and the freshmen contented
themselves with shouting college cries.
By their, failure tonight the freshmen
are debarred from carrying canes and
smoking pipes in the presence Of the
sophomores. The cannon used was In
the civil war and is always returned ton
the Douglass factory. The first attempt
on the part of the sophomores to pre- y
vent the firing was made in 1869 and II
has become an annual custom.

The senate committee on contested
elections came to New Haven yester-3
day, but contrary to expectations, did
not begin the recount of votes cast in
this city at the last election for state
senator. w. H. Ely, counsel for F. L.
Averill, requested that the counsel for
the contestants, Mr.. Callahan and Mr..
Averill be permitted to be present dur
ing the recount. To this Messrs. Hall
and Smith of the committee refused to
consent, while Senator Whitlock the
other member of the committee, was in
favor of granting the request. Finally,
after considering the matter the com-
mittee decided to refer the question to
the senate for instruction and the mat
ter will probably be brought up in the
senate to-day. Chairman Hall of the
committee stated yesterday that it
would be unnecessary for counsel for
the contestants to be present during the
recount as any question as to the legal
ity of the ballots would be referred to
the attorney general for an opinion.

With Special Severity.
With Special Severity,

Madrid, Feb 21.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day Senor Canalejas put a
long string of questions to the minister
of finance, Senor Puigcerver, who de-
clined to reveal the contents of the pro-
jected bill. The latter, however, said he
hoped in due time to introduce measures
to settle the arrears of pay of the SOL
diers returned from Cuba and to deal
with the payment of the Cuban and
Philippine debts.
To this Senor Canalejas replied:
Nothing could be conceived more Ia
mentable than the words of the minis
ter of finance. 1t is evident that he has
prepared no bill at all despite the grav
ity of the situation" Senor Canalejas
then proceeded to censure the govern
ment attributing its careless glibness
of explanation" to the fact that it was
aware that in a few days it would no
longer be in office. He said that Senor
Puigcerver would have done better to
acknowledge frankly that this was the
reason why no bills had been prepared.
In the senate to-day Count d Almenas
resumed the work begun by him yester-
day upon the generals who We're en-
gagged in the war in Cuba. In terms of
special severity he criticised Captain
Aunon, the minister Of marine. Twice
he was called upon by the president to
withdraw his remarks. and his speech
was attended throughout with great up
roar Senior Sagasta the premier who
spoke amid tumult. deplored the atti-
tude of Count d d'Almenas and defended
the governments conduct He conclud-
ed by calling for the closure. The de-
bate was adjourned.

Causes Intense lnterest-Cardfnu1 Glib
bons and American Catholics Landed.
Rome, Feb. 21.-The encyclical of the
pope, issued to-day, has created intense
interest in religious circles. The letter,
which occupies five columns in the Os-
servatore Romano, begins by lauding
Cardinal Gibbons and the American
Catholics. Alluding to the many proofs
of good will he has given them in the
past, the pope wishes them to see in the
present document another proof of his
affection for America
While he makes it clear that the let
ter Is one of warning and correction
with reference to the Life Of Father
Hecker," his holiness carefully distin-
guishes between the doctrinal aspects of
the new theories and questions of prac-
ticaI discipline. He strongly urges the
impossibility of a change in the former.
While admitting that the church has al
ways recognized and acted upon the ne
cessity of adapting certain points of dis
cipline to modern requirements it rests
with the church, and not with individu-
ais. to determine how and when such
adaptations can be made.
"All virtues" says his holiness, must
necessarily be active. The contempt
shown by innovators for what they are
pleased to call passive virtues has nat
urally led to contempt of religious life
as suited only to the weak and as an
impediment to Christian perfection and
to the good of the community"
This error the pope energetically con-
demns, declaring it injurious to the re-
ligious orders and in contradiction to
history" He reminds the Americans of
their Indebtedness to the religious Or
ders, both active and contemplative
The letter arouses deep interest in Rome.
The liberal papers declare that it con-
etitutes a Solemn manifestation of the
irtransigent spirit in Catholicism and
predicts that it will produce an imme-
diate effect in America"

Army Bill Under Discussion in Senate
Naval Bill In House.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Forlaal discus
sion of the Hull-Hawley army reorgani-
cation bill was begun in the senate this
afternoon. Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. War
rem, republicans, supported the bill. Mr..
Mitchell and Mr.. Cocl1rell, democrats,
opposed it, while Mr.. Proctor, republican,
addressed the senate in favor of some
amendments which he had tackled to
the bill. Mr.. Cockrells speech, though
brief, was particularly notable, as he
spoke definitely for the opposition to the
army bill He declared practically that
the Hull-Hawley bill could not become
a law at this session. He and those
who stood with him were willing to
give the president all the money and
every man he desired, but they would
determine that no great standing army
should be fastened upon the country
without free and full discussion. The
postoffice appropriation bill was passed
to-day, Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Pettigrew
having concluded their speeches.
