SEYER4L COMMITTEE EEARINGS.
Held i'm city Hall Last Night Action on
Various Matters

Various Matters.
The special committee appointed to
consider the petition for the condemna-
ton of land adjoining West Rock park
for the purpose of addition to the park
met in the city hall last night. The land
which is involved Is a nine acre tract
at the southwest base Of West rock. 1t
is owned by the Hartford insane re-
treat. The property was willed to that
institution in 1926 by a man named
Wheeler, and one of the conditions of
the bequest was that the property
should not be sold or leased for more
than one year by the devisee. The land
has been leased for a number of years,
year by year, to the Diamond Match
company, but that company has now
no more use for 1t since the match
works We're removed from Westville
The Hartford Insane retreat author
tiles are willing to sell the tract, but
owing to the provisions of the bequest
are unable to do so unless the land is
condemned by the city.
Henry T. Blake, president of the park
commission, appeared before the COM
mttee last night and spoke upon the
desira bility of securing the tract for
park purposes, Anthony Carroll was
the only one to appear against the pro-
posed condemnat tion and purchase of
the land by the city.
The committee voted to recommend
that layout of the land for park pur-
poses be made and an assessment of
benefits and damages laid. The action,
if endorsed by the common council, and
the mayor, will be tantamount to a con-
domination.

AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA
TERMED THE RUSSO-AMERICAN N
SURPRISEo IN LONDON.

ihe Fart OF the cars Government III
the Proposal Regarded with Suspicion
The Withdrawal of Troops from
Pel1in, However, Taken as Probably
the Best Solution of the Problem A
Strong Feeling for More Vigorous
Policy.
Lond IN, Aug. 81, 3:2O a. m.-The Rus
so-American surprise" as it is called
is the chief feature of the morning
papers. While Russia's part in the pro-
posa is regarded with considerable sus-
picion it is generally recognized that
the flight of the empress dowager and
the emperor renders the situation ex-
tremefy difficult, ard, therefore that it
might be wise to adopt the Russo
American programme as the best solu-
tion of the problem.
At the same time a very strong feel
Ing is displayed In favor of more Wig
orous line of policy The Daily Graphic
says: THE United States are almost
morbidly anxious to wash their hands
Of the Chinese embarrassment. This
has long been apparent. But it is
surprising to hear that their anxiety is
shared by Russia. With the possible
exc; ption of Germany there is probably
not another power that would seriously
object to the evacuation of Pekin.'
The Daily Mail observes: Probably
Russia with the assistance of the Unit
ed States and France hopes to dictate
to other powers a far eastern policy
ensuring the accomplishment of Rus
sian designs, which would be greatly
facilitated by the acceptance of Ii
Hung Chang as plenipotentiary. The
powers should refuse to accept any in
termediary or to evacuate Pekin, which
would only be interpreted as sign of
weakness
The Daily Express and the Daily
Chronicle protest against placing any
reliance ON the professions OF Ii Hung
Chang or Of the Chinese authorities.

also lives at IA st. John street. and
Joseph Corolla of 216 Hamilton street
walked past the house where the
Domonics were sitting and as the two
brothers PASSED one Of them made an
insulting remark to the girls. This
made Joseph Domonic angry and he
called out threateningly to the two who
had just passed. The latter walked on
few steps and then each pulling
knife they walked back towards the
Domonics saying in italian as they did
SO Come on now we are ready for
YOU They continued to advance to-
wards the porch and Joseph Domonic
arose and started to meet them. The
two sisters jumped between the men
to prevent their fighting and as they
cid SO each of the Corollas with drawn
knives grabbed one of the girls. In the
scuf11e which ensued Angelo Domonc
was stabbed just below the heart, a
deep, ugly wound being inflicted The
other sister, Catharine, received a bad
