Hanna Closely Follows Clay's Speech in
Opposition.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE first
speech in opposition to the ship sub
sidy bill in the Senate was delivered to-
day by Mr.. Clay Of Georgia. He Is one
of the minority members Of the COM
mittee on commerce, which conducted
the hearings on the measure and re-
ported it to the Senate. He is recog-
nized as one of the most vigorous OPP
ponents of the bill in the Senate and
during nearly two hours he was accord
ed close attention by senators on both
sides of the chamber. Mr. Hanna, who
expects to reply to Mr. Clay's argu-
ment, gave him a particularly attentive
hearing.
In the early part of the session
lively colloquy was precipitated over
the reference to committee of the Grout
oleomargarine bill just passed by the
house Of representatives. Finally 1t
went to the committee on agriculture.
This was a victory for the friends Of
the bill. There also was sharp debate
over the Montana senatorial case, but
no action was taken, the matter by
consent going over temporarily. To-
morrow no business session of the SEN
ate will be held as the day will be de-
voted to the celebration of the centen-
NAL of the establishment of the seat of
government in Washington.

ROBBED PRIEST OF $4,000.
Work of Two Clever Confidence Men In
Turin.

New York, Dec. 1.-Two clever conf
dence men, believed to be Americans
from descriptions furnished by a priest
in Italy, whom they robbed of $780, 900,
it is thought may be on their way to
this country, and the police of all the
large cities have been notified to watch
! for them.
The story of the robbery, which reach
ed this city to-day, says they got from
the safe of the Jesuit Institute at Turin
$4,000 funds of the institution. The
Rev. Father M. Crosse Of the Society of
Jesus, the superior of the institution,
was their victim. Two well-groomed
men with polished manners, apparently
Americans, called on Father Crosse a
fortnight ago and told him they were
trustees of rich orphan boy whose
father had recently been killed in the
Boer war.
They said they wished to place the
boy in the priests care and have him
educated in the institute. They ex-
planned that they were custodans of
5000, 900 belonging to the boy, which they
desired to leave for safe keeping in
Father Grosso's hands. The priest con-
SeHleu TO dSsuIll6 CudIRe Ol the bDy anu
to accept the custody of the funds. The
men thereupon produced several bun
dies of what purported to be bank
notes, which they suggested should be
placed in the safe. Fa ather Crosse open
ed the safe and the men placed therein
the bundles.
They then departed, stating that they
were going to Milan, where they had
left the boy, and would return with him
shortly Father Crosse waited several
days, and when neither the men nor the
boy appeared he became suspicious and
went to the safe. He found that bank
notes aggregating $4,000 were gone and
that the bundles of supposed bank-notes
left by the men were only waste paper,
The men, the police say, abstracted the
funds from the Institution under the
eyes Of the priest while placing their
counterfeit bundles in the safe.

LAWS AFFECTING THE CITY
Before the Committee on Legislation
Creation of a Pavement Commission
PropOsed-Propositi Finds Some
Favor-A Movement to Empower the
City to Appropriate for the Bushnell
Memorial.

The committee on legislation last
night held a public hearing on propos-
ed amendments to the city charter and
other proposed Legislation affecting this
city. Among the matters up was a
proposition for an amendment to pro-
vide for pavement commission to have
charge of pavement matters. The prop
osition was introduced by Councilman
kSullivan of the Third ward. Last night
the plan was favored by number of
citizens who appeared among them be-
ing Charles j. Anderson, George d.
Watrous, Joseph r. Manning and Cliff
ford 1. Stoddard. Alderman Gerner
and Peter Bohn opposed the proposition,
favoring leaving paving matters rest as
they now are.
| Superintendent Wrinn of the police
department and Superintendent Fan
cher of the fire department appeared to
favor the proposed change of the titles
of the heads of those departments from
superintendent" to chief Superin-
tendent Wrinn also spoke for the pro-
posed change in the police pension sys-
tenn.
In executive session the committee de-
cided to recommend that the corpora
ton counsel be requested to endeavor to
have passed by the next Legislature an
act empowering the city to appropriate
money for the Bushnell memorial. The
committee will hold another meeting
next Friday night if no meeting is held
by the aldermen that night. There is
some probability that a special meeting
of the aldermen will be called for that
night to consider the estima tes., At the
next meeting of the committee on legis-
lation the petition of Anthony Carroll
for the purchase Of the plant Of the New
Haven Water company by the city will
be considered

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Riders Keeping Up u Terrific Pace-Still
Ahead of the Record.

New York, Dec. 11.-With the thous-
and mile mark but a score of miles
ahead of them nine of the six-day bicy-
Gle riders in Madison Square Garden at
midnight tonight were keeping up the
hurricane pace set for them at mid
night on Sunday. The nine teams had
been riding with amazing strength
ever since midnight of last night, with
out changing their comparative scores.
Gougoltz fell but was put up in an in
stant and on another wheel. The
bunch was lap and a half to the good
and riding hard to make 1t two laps.
The F'renchman gradually caught the
field. He had lost a lap, however, and
the leadership in the race. Simar then
relieved him. Gougoltz returned to the
track at o'clock and said he believed
some one had tampered with his wheel
to cause the puncture. President Pow
ers appointed Charles Murphy, the BIZ
cycle rider, to keep strict watch on the
wheels, especially of the foreign riders,
to prevent any trouble At the end of
the forty-eight hours the leading teams
were three miles ahead of the record.
The scores at 2 o'clock this morning
follow: Elkes and Mcfarland, 1,002.2;
Pierce and McEaohern, 1,002.2 Simar
and Gougotz, 1002.1; Turville and

WILL NOT WITHDRAW HER TROOPS
Italy Bound to Reap Advantages from
Participat ton in China Campaign.

Rome, Dec. lin the chamber of
deputies to-day the socialist group in
troduced resolution calling upon the
government to recall the italian troops
in China.
Signor Saracco, the premier, made the
following reply: ITO recall the troops
would be imprudent and unjustifiable
at the present moment, when negot1a-
tions for peace are in progress. More
over, Italy is entitled to reap the ad-
yantages of her participation in the ac-
tion Of the powers in China. The gov
ernment desires that the negotiations In
Pekin should be pressed forward as
much as possible and will withdraw the
Italian troops from China as soon as
the dignity and interests of the country
will allow"
The chamber then rejected the reso-
luton by an overwhelming vote.

| and managers were issued to Frank
Hall by Police Magistrate Fl. r. M.

LORD ROBERTS, POWERS.
A Fear That They VIII Not Allow of
Real Army Reforms.

London, Dec. 12.-The information
drawn from Mr.. Broderick in the
House of Commons yesterday that the
powers of Lord Roberts as commander
in-chief will be the same as those of
Lord Wolseley calls out from the Daily
Mail strong protest. The Daily Mail
contends that with Lord Roberts as a
lay figure, liable to be overruled by the
minister of war real army reforms are
quite improbable.
The Daily Chronicle says: "We can
not but regret that Lord Roberts has
not improved the shining moments of
his popularity to put the position of
mmander-in-chief on sounder basis,
although we have no fear that Lord
Roberts will be fiouted as Lord Wolse-
ley is reported to have BEEN

Result of massachusetts Elections Yes.
terday and Last Tuesday.

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE Temperance
people of Massachusetts have won a
great victory in their crusade against
license in the city elections of last
Tuesday and to-day for out of the thir-
ty or more cities choosing municipal of
ficers and expressing an opinion
scarcely one shows gain in the IL
cense vote while the additions to the
no-license column are many. Salem
and Woburn went that way, while last
Fitchburg and Waltham went To off
set this only Taunton changed to Ii
cense.
The elections in many of the cities to-
day had contests apart from that an
nually fought out on the liquor ques-
tion. OF these the street commissioner
fight in Boston and the mayoralty race
in Lowell absorbed the most outside in
terest. In the last named city General
G. A. r. Dimon, the agent for the Unit
ed States Cartridge company was elect
ed mayor as a democrat over ex-Sena-
tor Putnam, republican, and the citi-
zens' candidate, eX-Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue S. W. Stephens. General
Mimon's personal popularity won the
victory for the democrats
In Boston the democrats won a sub
stantial victory, electing ex-senator
James A. Gallivan as street commits
sioner, over John p. Dore, the republi-
can candidate, securing working ma
jority in the aldermen and holding the
wide margin in the council. The school

cations against the public school asso-

While the war office is most reticent
on teh subject, there are Indications
that the officers have received news
