WU TING FANG PLEASED.


Washington, March 7.--The Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI Ting Fang, expresses
himself as highly gratified at the def
mite determination of the United States
to keep hands off China and to resist
limitations of other powers that the
time is ripe for this country to take
for itself port on the coast of China,
II am sure the Chinese government
and people will not fail to observe this
strong evidence of good WILL said Mr..
Wu Ting Fang to-day. ut is not only
another bond between the two coun-
tries, but it has a special significance
just now. While the old world powers
seem moved by spirit Of rapacity, the
United States takes that lofty position
of equity, justice and humanity which
has characterized her dealings with
other international questions of late,
and instead of joining in encroachments
on China assumes an attitude of strict
neutrality"

Newport News, Va, March 7.--Tha
fiercest Northwestern that has visited
Newport News in recent years swept
this section of Virginia last night, and
is still raging. The storm started last
night with a heavy downpour Of rain.
After midnight it stopped raining and
cold wind blew from the north Thes
wind increased in velocity and travelled
at times sixty miles an hour. The crews
of the ships in the river spent a night OF
suffering.
The United States transport Thomas,
which started for Savannah yesterday
afternoon, was ordered back on reach

IN THE KIpLING HOUSEHOLD.
COnvaIescent Poet Now Allowed to Read
the More Important TelcSrnms.

New York, March 7.-Mr. Doubleday
tonight reported both Rudyard Kip
ling and his little daughter, Elsie, to
be slowly but surely convalescing. Mr..
Kipling has not yet been informed of
the death of his child, Josephine, and
he will not be told about it until he is
practically well. She was his favorite,
and his physicians regard the posi-
bility of an i'll result should he learn
of her death in any manner.
Some of the more important kilograms
and messages are daily read to Mr..
Kipling, and occasionally he is allow
ed to read them himself. Every such
message is carefully censored, however,
to prevent the father from reading even
an allusion to his loss. Great quantl-
ties of flowers continue to be sent to
the Grenoble by friends Of the Kip
lings.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Doubleday said
that Mr.. Kipling had done splendidly
during the day and had made more pro-
gress toward recovery than on any
preceding day.

February Storm.

! New York, March 1.-THE Portuguese
steamer Vega, which arrived to-day
from ST. Michael's, brought the passen-
gers of the Cunard line steamer Pavo-
mia, which was towed into ST. MichaeIs
after a terrible experience at sea. The
total number of the Pavona's passen-
gers was fifty-four, of whom nine were
| saloon, seven second cabin and twenty
eight steerage. The Vega also brought
four eattlemen who were on the Ger
man steamer Bulgaria, which put into
st, Michaers disabled. DR.. j. w. Inches
of st. Clair, Mich, one of the cabin pas
sengers, said:
THE experience of the voyage of the
Pavonia was frightful. Gale followed
gale, and hurricanes prevailed through
out the whole time from Liverpool until
we landed at the Azores. During the
gales the terrific seas came over the side
and swept everything before them. The
steamer rolled so violently that the six
boilers broke adrift and the steamer
was helpless on the ocean. Five steam
ers We're sighted, but the weather was
so stormy that they were unable to help
u.s. The crew Of the Pavonia worked
nobly and did everything to make the
passengers as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. When we
finally got into st. Michaers we were
obliged to land in life boats during a
gale, and it is great wonder that none
of us was lost. However, we landed
without any casualties. We embarked
on the Vega for New York We have
had every care and comfort possible on
the way from the Azores home"
The Pavonia sailed from Liverpool on
January "a for Boston. The general
opinion of the Pavonias passengers is
that the members Of that steamer de-
serve every praise for their heroic eff
forts, but that Captain Atkins did not
merit the same consideration. One pas
senger said that he showed the white
feather The saloon passengers were
George Carr, A. A. Chessman, Mrs
Edith Harvard, Miss Edith E. Harvard
Master Lawrence Harvard, DR.. J. w.
Inches, F. l.. Scott, James Shankland
and Mrs. Shankland-totaln nine.
The second-c cabin passengers were r.
Carruthers, Matthew Carruthers, Miss
Marie C. Colberg, Mrs. e. D. He'll, Mrs.
F. l.. Heiding. Mrs. Fielding, Mrs. A.
A. Snow, Mrs. M. Fielding, Mrs. Alice |
Graves, Mrs Hattie Houston, Mrs. Jen-
ME McEwan, Master Daniel McEwan,
Jessie McEwan, Grace McEwan, Mas |
ter Lawrence McEwan. George Stevens |
and Percy Croughan--total seventeen.
The four men from the Bulgaria were
men sent in charge of cattle or horses. 7
They were in a boat which was trying
to carry the hawser from the Bulgaria 4
to a steamer which tried to tow that |
steamer, but were unable to return to I
the Bulgaria. They were finally brought /
to st. Michael's whence they embarked
on the Vega for this port.

HOME TEAM WINS.
New Haven Defeats Waterbury to Mt
Bowling Hall.

Captain Roberts and his team of Tig-
ers from the Brass City made their
final exit for the season at Bowling
hall last night. They came with the
avowed intention of conquering, but
had to retire from hard fought game
without a victory Bone made his ap-
pearance in the ranks of the Blues,
which was the signal for general out
burst of enthusiasm, coupled with the
cry 1--WE win," and Bones all right.
And there was no mistake about it,
for the rusher put uD great game
and more than pleased his admirers.
His clever manipulation cf the ball,
and the manner in which he eluded
the Waterbury defense when he scored
the fifth goal was a piece Of exceed
ingly clever play, and well worthy the
generous applause which was bestowed
on his efforts to win. The eighth goal
also came from one Of his lightning
drives, and even the great Sword could
be forgiven by letting it hide in the
netting. Whipple also played a hard
game, and Billie Leydon did some clean
work, which fairly non-plussed the
Waterbury team and took the house by
storm. Hobe Writings defense and
passing was well nigh perfection, and
Charlie Lations kept down the home
score by the able manner in which he
kept Roberts accurate drives at bay.
For Waterbury, Swords and Roberts
played the best game and but for the
formers fine work a large score would
have been rolled up against the Tigers.
Holderness did some hard blocking,
but Dumpy Williams was not as bril-
liant as usual. Griffin also tried hard
to score, but was well watched The
strangers played hard and determin-
ed game, but were no match for the
Blues, who from scientific point play
ed all around them. The score was
to 3.

According to Weather Observer Tarr's
prediction last night the weather to-day
will be clear and colder than yesterday.
The storm of yesterday came unexpect-

strusk the coast at Norfolk, Va. There
it met colder wave from the west and
turning to snow, bowled up along the
coast Yesterday it was much colder in
the south than it was in New Haven
being only 10 above at Atlanta and at
Knoxville. 1t Is expected that the cold
est part of the wave will strike this
city tomorrow morning, when the mer-
curry is expected to register 10 or Is
degrees below. The cold weather wont
last long, however as warmer weather
developed yesterday in the northwest
and is moving rapidly eastward.

FA1RFIE1D oouNrY,s MURDERERs
Italian and Hun to Stand Trial-Guil-
ford Case Postponed.

| Bridgeport, March Late this after
noon the grand jury in the superior
criminal court returned an indictment
of murder in the first degree against
Salvador Vaccarro, who fatally stabbed
Filomena Viatuero in Stamford some
months ago. Jealousy was the cause
of the stabbing. Both men were in love
with the same girl and one night as
| Vaccarro was standing near her house
the murdered man approached with a
companion and as they passed Vaccarro
the latter overheard some remarks that
so incensed him that he at once rushed
upon Viatuero and drove stiletto into
| him several times. His arrest occurred
few hours later.
An indictment of murder in the sec
ond degree was also found against John
Koskos, who killed Theodoros Manos In
Stamford ON the night Of February ~
by stabbing him. The men had been
unfriendly for some time as the result
of a labor strike in a fur factory in
which they were both employed, and
Of which Manos was the leader. Manos
was about to leave town and when the
two men met on the street there was
an alteration, during which knives
were drawn, but Koskos was the quick
er. He will be put to plea tomorrow,
and 1t is understood will plead guilty,
and after he is sentenced the Vaccarro
trial will be commenced.
AT the request of Attorney Klein for
the defence, the famous Nancy" Gull
ford case was continued until next
week. Attorney Klein claimed that he
had a witness in New York that would
be able to give very important testimo-
ny, but that it would be impossible to
have the witness here before next week.
Mrs. Emma Dunning Banks, we'll
known elocutionist of this city, who
was an intimate friend Of Fedora Gull
ford, was closeted with Attorney Klein
for some time this afternoon, and it Is
believed that she will be able to give
some important testimony for the de-
fence. Mrs. Guilford is slightly i'll at
the present time and is being attended
by a physician, but her indisposition
had nothing to do with the postpone
ment of the trial.

THREE BIG EITTLESHIPS.
New Fighting Machines VIII be 1000
Tons Larger Than Any Afloat.

Washington, March 7.-The plans for
the three big battleships authorized by
the naval appropriation bill just passed
are being worked out. The general fea-
lures of the ship have been defined The
battleships will be thousand tons larg-
er than the Maine and Missouri class,
of total displacement Of 1S5OO tons,
making them by far the largest ships
in the American navy, about equal in
dimensions to the best type of battle
ships now being constructed abroad un-
der the new practice. Though larger
than the Maine, the ships will be laid
on almost the same lines, being only
little greater in every dimension. They
will carry each four twelve-inch guns
in turrets. This calibre is an inch less
than the guns carried by the Oregon,
but by improved design they will be al
most equal in penetratve power.
