DEPEW ON PHILIPPINE VAR.
Sufficient Force to Drive
Rebels Into the Sen

New ork, July IA dinner was
given tonight at the Republican club
in horror of the home coming from
Europe of Chauncey NJ Depew Mr..
Depiw made speech. His most iInror-
tant utterances were upon the Philip
pine question. Mr. Depew said in part:
"In Europe I found that there was no
sympathy for Spain on account of her
defeat in the late war The people of
Europe are wondering whether we will
be equal to the task we have taken in
the East. An English statesman said
to me one day; Why don't your coun-
try square Aguinaldo?'
i II told that statesman that the peo-
pie of the United States would rather
send 100000, 100000 or even 100000 men
to the Philippines than spend $500 in
squaring Mr.. Aguinaldo. In my judg-
ment we have not appreciated thor
oughly the situation in the East. This
has been principally due to the bravery
of the men who are there. They want
the honor and the glory of fighting the
contests and winning without other aid
/ think it Is mistake. We should bend
every energy and send such a force to
the Philippines as would crush out these
rebels in less than six weeks time We
should sweep these insurrectionists be-
fore us. When we have captured
stretch of territory we should have a
force there of sufficient strength to hold
it. The war should be carried on in such
a way as to drive Aguinaldo and his
crew into submission or into the sea-

How the Murder Occurred.

New York, July 12.-Captain McClus-
key received a telegram from Detective
McManus of his staff this afternoon,
dated at New Haven, announcing that
GOSH Hines, who shot and killed John
McGrann alias big Stretch" in a sa-
loon on the corner of Bayard street and
Bowery June q last, was in Jail at New
Haven under the name of Robert Har-
den, having been arrested on the charge
of picking some ones pockets. McGrann
was a professional crook and his picture
is in the rogues' gallery. Hines is also
a professional crook. Captain McClus-
key said that there was a quarrel be-
tween the two men arising out of the di-
vision of the proceeds of a robbery in
Pittsburg. McGrann was standing at
the bar of the saloon at the time men
toned with Tim Shanahan another pro"
fessional crook, when Hines entered.
McGrann attempted to run awsy when
Hines pulled a revolver and shot him.
He was taken to the Hudson street hos
pital and Hines escaped. McGrann died
July Sth July 9th McManus heard Of
Hines being in Boston and he traced him
to New Haven.

DETI.lTION or THE COMPASS.
Interest In Preparation to Exactly De-
termine IL Mt Sea.

Washington, July 12,-Scientific men
are manifesttng much interest in the
preparations now making by the coast
and geodetic survey, which is charged
with the magnetic survey of the United
States, for determining the accurate
deviation of the compass at sea. Re-
cent accidents at sea and the severe
competition of ocean liners have called
attention in striking way to the need
of accurate values of the deviation of
the compass needle at sea. The values
of the deviation of the needle generally
used are almost wholly dependent on
the observations made on land, and lit
tie has been done by the United States
to secure observations at sea. The ves-
sells of the coast survey are being fitted
with special magnetic instruments for
these observations, and it is hoped that
within a short time the survey may be
able to furnish values of the magnetic
variation at sea nearly equal in accura-
cy to those on land.

say that since the charter amendment
makes it mandatory for the common
council to provide for the sprinkling and
watering of the streets, they will sue out
an injunction if necessary, to prevent
any money being spent for street sprink-
ling by any other means than that pro-
Vlded for by the common council, ilalne-
ly, the purchase of carts by the city ana
the hiring of the necessary men and
horses to do the work.
Corporation Counsel A. Heaton Rob-
ertson was asked yesterday afternoon as
to the truth of the report that he intend
ed to recall his opinion that under sec
ton 1856 of the city chartef the director
OF public works must have sprinkling
done by contract. He said that he was
Tot yet in a position to say whether he
would recall the opinion and submit
new one or not. He said that he had
not seen copy of the fully amended
charter and did not know the complete
provisions of the amendment concerning
sprinking. He said that he would have
to look it up before he could talk about
it.
director Troup was out Of the city
yesterday, bit it was reported last nlght
that the firm of John A. Doolittle & Co.
would to o-day. begin sprinkling by the
day under contract with the director.

Suez, July 12.-The United States
cruiser Olympia, from Colombo, Ceylon,
June 2S, with Admiral Dewey on board,
arrived here to-day. The admiral said
he was in very good health. He ap-
peared to be in excellent condition, as
We're his officers and men, Most Of them
have suffered from malarial fever, but
have now quite recovered. The Olym-
pa has been quarantined, no commune
cation with the shore being allowed.
Consequently the correspondents were
only able to converse with the admiral
from a launch alongside the cruiser.
After passing through the canal the
Olympia will call at Trieste. Thereaf-
ter the admiral's plans are uncertain.
Later in the day the Olympia entered
the canal.

G. A. r.. PENSION coMMIssIoN
Investigating Pension Measures at IMvf-

Washington. July 12.-The pension
committee of the G. A. r., which is here
inquiring into pension measures and
their administration at the invitation OF
Commissioner Evans, practically closed
it's work to-day. The committee spent
most of the forenoon at the pension bu-
reau going over the decisions in a num-
Der Of cases which have been cited in
complaints against the pension system.
Members of the committee in advance
of shaping their report decline to dis
cuss the results of their labors, but it is
understood no substantial foundation
has been found for the allegations
against the work of the bureau, and
whatever is recommended probably will
be as to changes in the law itself The
committee with Commissioner Evans
had an interview with Secretary Hitch

sion system was discussed. The COM
mittee probably will leave tomorrow
and present it's report at the annual G.

PAIN'S BILL NOT APPROVED.
Fourth of July Committee Asks Big
Discount on the Fireworks Bill

The general committee which had
charge of the arrangements for the
Fourth of July celebration met in city
hall last night to close up accounts for
the celebration this year. All the bllls
were approved except two. OF these
one was for 81, a bill left over from the
celebration held last year, and the other
was the Pain Fireworks companys Dill
for $500 for the fireworks furnished on
the night of July last. There has
been considerable fault finding concern
| ing the fireworks, and the principal
complaint is that they were given so
slowly and that there Were too long
waits between the numbers on the pro-
gramme thereby spelling the effect
which would have been given had the
programme been more quickly given.
The matter came up for discussion at
| the committees meeting last night, and
one member set the ball rolling by de-
claring that he would not vote to pay
che full amount of Pains bill, as he did
not think the fireworks given We're
worth more than $500 Others agreed
with him, and the opinion of the ma
jority of the committee was that $500
ought to cover the cost of the display
given 1t was accordingly voted to ap-
point a subcommittee to wait upon
Colonel John w. Lowe, Connecticut
agent for the Pain Fireworks company,
and arrange, if possible discount in
accordance with the opinion of the ma
jority of the members of the commit
tee. .--
A balance of $100 remains unexpended
from the total amount-$1, ,500-which
was obtained to pay the expenses Of the
celebrations; that is, counting in Pains
bill at $780, OF course, if discount is
obtained on that bill, the unexpended
balance will amount to considerably
more. The following executive commit
tee was appointed to hold over to next
year: Colonel N. G. Osborn, w. r.
Whittlesey, Charles G.. Unger, c. w.
Ross and A. Maxcy Hitler.

DISASTROUS FREIGHT WRECK.
Train on Northampton Division Break,
in Two and Comes Together.

III TWO ana comes IO.ethtJ.
About 1870 last evening, as it was
nearing this city, the $50 freight train
from Westfield, Mass, on the Northamp-
ton division of the Consolidated road
broke in tWosnear the Winchester Re-
peating Arms company and came to-
gether again with disastrous results in
the cut underneath the Prospect street
bridge. From that place on through the
Hillhouse avenue bridge and further the
cut was literally filled with the debris
of the wrecked cars; whole roofs, splin-
tered sides and deraled trucks lying
around in indescribable confusion. One
large freight car was hurled by the force
of the collision up against the brick wall
of the house nearest the track in Pros
pect street and proved very good
alarm for those who wished to rise early.
Another large splinter carried away
portion of the fence near the track. The
train was No 1888 in charge of Con"
ductor Leary and Engineer Bates. The
cars numbered thirty-four and were for
the most part loaded, thus making the
collision the greater. The break occurr-
red very nearly in the middle, but the
cars on the caboose end received the
brunt of the collision. The wrecking
crew in charge of Master Mechanic
Hooking was early on the spot trying to
clear away the obstruction; but it is not
thought that this will be accomplished
in time to allow the 1850 passenger train
from this city to Westfield through on
time this morning.
