Secretary Long has addressed the following
letter to the Admiral:
Will you let me express my high appreciation
OF your very handsome and cOnsderate conduct
in asking to resume your former number on the
Navy List rather than tC accept the advance

CHOIR TO GIVE SECULAR CON-
 CERT

Before w. J. Kraft of this city finally sewers his connection with Trinity church, Seymour, as organist and choirmaster, to begin his duties in the same capacity in one of our New Haven churches, a concert of secular muse will be given in about two weeks under his direction by the boys and men of his Seymour choir. The concert will be given in the new Concordia hall, Sey- mour and will be of an elaborate na- ture. The proceeds will benefit the church.
 The choir gave concert at Wood mont, last year, when 1t was enjoying its annual outing by tie seaside. This was highly appreciated by the cottagers and visitors at that resort, and favor ably spoken of by the New Haven news papers at the time. This will be the first time that the choir has sung mu- sic of a secular character in Seymour, however.

I don't want to occupy more of the time of this com mittee than is necessary. I don't pose here as a great champion of the state Of Connecticut, but l have gone to the trouble of making an investigation of this matter and when I made the state ment two weeks ago that I would pro- duce witnesses here I made it In good faith. I am now here without wit nesses because after consulting emi- nent counsel, others besides those now here, I was advised not to bring wit nesses here, as I would have no immu- nifty in case of further proceedings have here a list of witnesses, not for publication, and if the committee wish es to call them, it may. I would ask that the names be not divulged by the committee until they are summoned here, because if the insurance company knew their names 1t could get the wit nesses out of the state. I have here a list of four witnesses. The one whose name is first on the list told me
 MT. Alling-"Is he here?"
 MT. O'Sullivan-"He is not"

 What you desire now is to tell us what these witnesses told your"
 'Yes."
 ''Is that all?"
 'I desire to lay in the names of these witnesses so that the committee may call them if it can."
 Do you intend to show that these people whom you say were possessed of large sums of money after the set clement of the suit, did not get the money in a proper way?"
 Il have already said that I have no witnesses here''
 It strikes me, MT. O'Sullivan, that it is quite unfair to the persons charged for you to make statements here which are not substantiated. You should have

 Senator Vinal-"You could have giv- en us the names two weeks ago. couldn't you?'
 Mir OSullivan-'I had these names three months ago. I stated to the com mittee two weeks ago that I would get these witnesses if possible. I did see two of them and was advised by my counsel to see no more"
 MT. O'Sullivan then started to hand to MT. Kenealy the list of names which he had written out. As he stepped up MT. Conlon remarked, Tt is understood that no one is to see these names but the committee"
 MT. Kenealy-"This committee is not here to make any agreement"
 MT. Conlon-"Then l advise MT O'Sullivan not to hand up that list of names"

| Hold Reunion.
 Winsted, April 1.-The surviving | members of Go. A, Second Connecticut Heavy Artillery, held a reunion yester- day at Litchfeld and celebrated the thirty-fourth anniversary of the sur render of the Conferedate forces under General R. D. Lee at Appomattox Court House. Virginia.
 A splendid banquet was spread in the G. A. R. hall, and over forty of the members of the battery, together with number of invited guests, sat down to partake of the good things.
 After the banquet Dwight c. Kill bourne, who served throughout the war as first sergeant of the company, acting as toastmaster, called upon George c. Woodruff, editor of the Litchfield In- quirer, for speech.
 Complying, MT. Woodruff made an eloquent address, referring at length to the now reunited North and South, citing as a notable incident indicating the changed feeling that now existed between the sections, the case of Gen. eral Joe Wheeler, who had so nobly served his country in the late war with Spain and who had been one of the greatest jsecessionists up to the day thirty-four years ago. Young Joe Wheeler then, he said. with the hot blood of rebellion coursing through his veins, but old Joe Wheeler in the late war with heart full of love for his country and wearing the uniform he once looked upon as a badge of tyran- ny. At the conclusion of his speech MT. Woodruff was heartily cheered. Sev- eral other speakers made short address es and the veterans parted, some never to meet again, as the grim enemy death is constantly thinning their ranks

The Next symphony Concert.

l ne I0eAt sy SphSUts' Mime. Antoinette Szumowska who will play at the next Symphony concert next Monday evening, is one of the most de- lightful pianists before the public. The London Illustrated News spoke as fol- lows on the occasion of her debut: Another new Polish pianist! A lady | this time, and a pupil-the only ac- knowledged one, it is said-of M. Pader- ewksi. More fortunate than her master, Miss Szomowska has been accorded the privilege of a debut at the popular con- certs, but it must be admitted that her talent gave Arthur Chappell sufficient warrant for the distinction Her inter- pretation of works by Chopin and Schumann at the concerts November 2S and 30, proved her to'be worthy disci- pie of her gifted teacher, and an admir- able exponent of pianoforte music of the romantic school. She has a superb tech nique, a crisp and sensitive touch, and remarkable command over grada tions of tone."
 Mme Szumowska will play the beau- tiful Schumann concerto next Monday and a group of solos. Joseph Adamow- ski is the other soloist.
