SHIP SUBSIDY RUMORS.
Hanna Says the Only Lobby Is One of
Foreign ship Owners.

Cleveland o., Dec. Ex-senator Han
ma was informed to-day of a statement
which is in circulation to the effect that
there was a powerful lobby in favor of
the subsidizing of American shipping
at the Philadelphia convention in
Washington.
THE only lobby of that kind that |
know anything about" was the sena-
tors answer, lis a lobby of foreign
steamship companies which is trying to
defeat the bill. There was no lobby at
Philadelphia at all, the subsidy bill is
a business measure, and there Is no de-
sire to force it through congress. We
want it to go through on its merits 1t
has been three years in preparation and
has been amended twenty times. The
president in all his messages has urged
the necessity of such a measure and it
was made a plank in the st. Louis plat
form. The details are left to congress
to work out"

POISON CASE UNCHANGED.
Officials Rest Over the Holiday, but Ar
rests are Expected To-day.

No change has taken place in the
status of the Rathbun poisoning case
within the past twenty-four hours.
Coroner Mix announced Monday night
that he would take no action until after
the holiday, and he has apparently TAX
en- a much needed rest after the very
busy time he has had for the past four
or FIVE days.
John F. Hart, the fellow victim with
Rathbun of the poisoned coffee, has
made his statement of the affair to the
coroner, and it Is now in the shape of
stenographic report and is in the pos
session of Coroner Mix. Every one
connected with the case was enjoying
the festivities of the holiday last night,
and as has been the practice since the
case has attracted such widespread at
tention, would have nothing to say on
the matter.
1t is not thought, however, that the
case has been dropped by any means,
and, as was intimated Monday night, 1t
is expected that an arrest will be made
to-day The case has progressed almost
too far row to drop, and it is not
thought likely that the coroner would
have made such an extensive investi-
cation unless there was some reason for

HANNA TO
Speaks to One Thousand People, Fed by
Army in Cleveland.

Cleveland, Dec. 25-The Salvation
army fed over one thousand people in
this city to-day. Senator Hanna, who
is believer in the works of the Saliva
tion army, was present and spoke a few
words to the assembly and was heartily
applauded.
He said: "It is a happy day, made
happy by these kind and noble men and
women, whom I call practical Chris
tians. I am glad to have occasion to
express my appreciation of the Saliva
tion army.
"It fulfils the needs that other insti-
tutions fail to fill. 1t gives an opportu-
nifty to those that have none; it lays
the foundation of law and good order;
it advances higher civilization, and the
city of Cleveland is fortunate in having
such a band of Christian workers. This
labor to be entirely successful should
have the support of all good citizens;
therefore my friends, renew your alle-
glance and give your support to this
grand work. May God bless all those in
this labor, and may We all join in the
fulfillment of the higher promise"

THREW PII'RIOL IN HIS FACE.
Young Waterbury Colorcd Woman's
jealousy Lends to Trouble

Waterbury, Conn, Dec 25.-John
Hale, the head waiter at the Scoville
House in this city, and a prominent col
ored citizen was terribly burned about
the head last night by vitriol which is
alleged to have been thrown by Izetta
Alexander, a maid at st. Margaret's
school.
1t appears from Haes story that he
has been keeping company with the
Alexander woman for number of years
and that on Saturday night he took an
other colored belle to the theatre. Miss
Alexander, Hale says, followed him to
the theatre and there made an endeavor
to persuade him to leave the house
Upon his refusal to do so, she waited
outside until the performance was over
and walked home with his companion
and himself. Hale then accompanied
her to the st. Margaret's school and
went inside to talk matters over He
stayed there until one o'clock, and on
his departure the woman went with
him to the gate, where a discussion
arose which resulted, as he says in the
vitroil throwing. Hale ran to town and
the other after him, but he managed to
ailude her and went to a physician. His
burns are very severe about the head
and neck, but the fluid did not enter his
eyes.
This morning the Alexander woman
was taken into custody and was later
released on $500 bonds.

Madison square.

| New York. Dec 25.-One of the chief
features of Christmas day, 1900, in New
York city and vicinity was the weather
Not only was the sky clear. but the
rays of the sun were so genial that
heavy wraps were uncomfortable and
! flIrs not to be endured. In consequence
of this almost springlike weather the
morning church services were thronged
with worshippers and the streets of the
city filled with merry throngs of men,
women and children.

of the Salvation Army at Madison

women and children. By 6 o'clock there
were 1000 people in the galleries, wait
ing in jolly mood for the dinner while
the helpers in the arena below were
serving out the good things. Promptly
at 6 o'clock the Salvation Army's
guests were marched down to the tables
and took their places after the Doxolo-
gy had been sung to the accompani-
ment of the headquarters brass band
Then for three-quarters of an hour the
spectators saw a rare sight as 1000 of
the poor revelled in bounteeus Christ
mas dinner. A feature was the number
of family parties, parents with their
children finding their Christmas cheer
as the Salvation Army's guest.
After the dinner Commander Booth
Tucker made an address in which,

To-day the army has spread the
tables in the United States for 100000
guests and into 100000 hearts we shall

paper indictment of the United States
senate for its unparalleled attempt to
overturn the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
says: THE case is not unusual. Condi-
tions have changed and the treaty must
change too. Russia afforded an exam
pie in 1870 in declaring that she was
no longer bound by her promise not to
maintain war vessels in the Black sea-"
The Bourse Gazette says: Russia is
gratified by Americas diplomatic VIC
tory over England. Western Europe
dislilzes the Monroe doctrine because it
desires to grab territories everywhere.
Russia, which has sympathized with
America since her independence, which
liquidated American possessions to
America, has nothing against the Mon
roe doctrine and the old sympathies
have grown more cordial in China"

possession of her child, Nema Riley,
who was taken to South Norwalk last

came in to-day two days late, owing to
the heavy weather she had encountered
She had forged her way against head
winds and terrific seas all the way from
Havre to the banks of Newfoundland
and had subsequently been enveloped in
fog from Nantucket to New York
When the State of Nebraska, of the
Allen State line, reached her dock to-
day Commander Peters and Purser
Stirrat declared that throughout their
seafaring experience they had never en-
countered such tempestuous weather as
they had encountered during the past
nineteen days.
THE first twelve days of our passage
out" said the purser, were the worst
that any member of this crew was ever
up against. Great green seas smashed
our iron light house to smitherens stove
in two of our life boats and wrenched
and twisted our forward bridge rails"

COTTON H0L1OW USE MYSTERY.
Few Developments Over Christmas
Some Arrests HIHy be Made.

Naugatuck, Conn, Dec. 25.--The day
has brought out no positive develop
ments in the investigation of the death
of Jerald Melberg, whose lifeless body
was found in the yard of the Cotton
Hollow road house early Sunday morn
ing, but the belief is growing more
strong that the authorities have not
only come to the conclusion that the
young man came to his end by foul
means, but have also hit upon some
pretty decided clues in the course of
their examination of the nine persons
who We're connected with the establish
ment, and of the building itself.
Not the least in Importance in justi-
flying this conclusion is the fact that
two officers from the state police have
arrived to colaborate with Chief Fife of
Beacon Falls. Further, it is stated on
good authority, that mittemus blanks
were sent from this town this morning,
fact which may have some connection
with the surveillance which has been
exercised over the parties whose testi-
mony, as inmates of the Cotton Hollow
house on Saturday night, was taken at
the session of the inquest Monday.
The final session of the inquest will
probably be held tomorrow, and from
present indications, arrests are not un-
likely to follow Coroner Mix of New
Haven stated tonight he expected to
have in his hands tomorrow the report
of the inquest, as well as Of the au-
topsy, which was held to-day over the
body by Drs, futile and Johnson. In
connection with this latter, it will be
OF interest to observe whether death
was found to have been due to the frac-
ture of Melberg's skull caused by his
fail, or whether other agencies, which
theory would lead to the conclusion that
the murder, if such it be, took place
within the house and that the BODY
was thrown out of the window in or
der to furnish a plausible excuse for his
death. The hearing tomorrow, as well
as that on Monday, will be under the
of Assistant Coroner Pond of
New Haven.

SUMATRA TOBACCO RAISED
EXPERIMENTS IN THIS STATE RE-
suit SUCCESSFULLY.
A Statement Issued by the Department
of AgricuIture-The Woris Done i'm
Co-operutiORh with the Connecticut
Experiment Station A Saving to
Farmers In This Country of Between
S6,OOO,O and $7,O0O,0O0.

$4,000, 900 and $7,00O,0O0.
Washington, Dec 25.-The following
notice was posted to-day by the eecre-
tary of agriculture:
Milton Whitney, chief of division of
soils, reports a successful termination
of experiments conducted in co-opera-
ton with the Connecticut experiment
station in the production of Sumatra to-
bacco near Hartford. One-third of an
acre was planted under a cheese cloth
shade nine feet high and cultivated and
fermented under the direction of M. l..
Floyd, tobacco expert of the depart
ment The yield of cured tobacco was
700 pounds, making an estimated yield
for one acre of 1900 pounds. This lost
about ten per cent. in the fermentation.
The crop has been sold for $47S.70, max
ing an estimated value for one acre of
ST. ,421. The cost of production, includ-
ing the whole COST of the shade, the
frame for which will last five years, will
not exceed $500 per acre, leaving a net
profit of over 5000 per acre. This was
an average price Of seventy-one cents
per pound The crop grown in the same
field, without shade and fermented in
the same way, yielded about the same
quantity and brought twenty-seven
cents per pound, or at the rate Of $507. 81
per acre. Deducting the cost of cultiva-
ton and trea ting, this would leave
profit Of about $500 per acre. The ordi-
nary crop of the Connecticut valley
brings the farmer about twenty cents
per pound or $500 per acre, and, deduct
ing the cost of expenses, leaving prof
it of about $3.50 per acre. The Sumaua
tobacco grown under shade has been
submitted to New York and Philadel-
phia business men and has been pro-
nounced entirely satisfactory and fully
equal to imported Sumatra. These facts
taken in connection with the award at
the Paris exposition of two points for
the Florida grown Suma ira over that
given for the imported Sumatra, show
that we can grow Sumatra tobacco Of
the highest quality in this country and
save our farmers between $6000,000 and
81 ,0e0, 900, which is now sent abroad an
nually for the foreign grown leaf. This
work is the result of the soil survey
made in the Connecticut valley two
years ago, and similar results can be
expected only from very similar areas
where the soils and climatic conditions
are similar to those in the Connecticut
valley and in Florida.
