There dwell in one of the handsome
residences Of Tioga an elderly lady and
her daughter. The mother recently
went out Of the city for a few days.
stay. On the day she left the daughter
informed the colored cook early in the
morning that she would visit friend
and would not return until o'clock ait
night
But the friend was not at home, and
the daughter came to the city to shop
and returned home at o'clock instead
of three hours later. She found ten
colored couples in the parlor, and the
table in the dining room was set for 20
persons, with the silver pieces and best
china in evidence. In the kitchen the
cook was busy preparing feast. When
her eyes fell upon her young mistress,
the servant exclaimed in horror: "Good
gracious, you done come home so soon!
Why, Use invited nah friends to din
nah. Deed didn't expect you"
The young woman said she was sure
of that. Result: Colored friends left the
house hungry; cook, too; girl invited "
neighbors in, and all enjoyed the feasts

After we have secured stable govern
ment we intend to give them self-govern-
ment as rapidly as they are fitted Tor it.
Our opponents say that they wish now to
give them independence. To give "inde-
gpendence" now would be precisely like
giving independence to the widest tribe
of Apaehes in Arizona It would mean
the turning over of the most peaceable,
law abiding and prosperous part of the
population to be plundered by the ban
ditti who are following Aguinaldo In
China we see at this moment the awful
tragedy that is following just exactly
such movement as that which the So
called anti-imperialists have championed
in the Philippines The Boxers in China
are the precise analogues and representa-
tives of the Aguinaldian rebels in the
Philippines Had we adopted the ''policy
of scuttle" in the IF philippines, the policy
which our political opponents now cham
pion, the streets of Manila would have
witnessed such scenes as those of the
streets of Pe5in. To allow the Filipino
rebels to establish their own so-called
government and then to protect them
against other civilized nations would be
exactly as if we now sided with the Box
ers in China, demanded for them the y
liberty TO butcher their .'neighbors,
allowed them to establish their own .'in-
dependent government and then agreed
to protect them from the wrath of civil
iized mankind, A more wicked absurdity
than the Kansas City proposition for
dealing with the Philippines was ----- !

that she died intestate and proceedings

NO ACTION RECoMMENDED


Concerning the debate by the chamber
OF commerce Wednesday evening on the
resolution recommending the passage of
the bill now before congress, which
authorizes the secretary of the treas
ury to make rules limiting the length
and width Of lows, the committee on
harbor in its report on the matter did
not recommend any action to the cham
Der, but gave a statement Of the facts
bearing upon the subject from both
sidee. The chairman of the committee
took no other part in the debate, ex-
cept when one of the gentlemen said
that the committee We're mistaken in
their statement that the bill would not
be mandatory upon the secretary Of the
treasury. In that case the chairman
read the bill now pending, showing that
1t would not be mandatory and that the
report of the committee was correct.
The attitude of the committee is
shown by the opening passage of the
committee report, which is as follows.
Your committee on harbor regretted
to have placed upon them tho RESPONSE
bility of considering matter in which
important interests of some of the mem
beers of this chamber are involved, and
upon which they are interested on oppo-
site sides.
Your committee asked to be excused |
from this responsibility, but as the |
chamber, Notwithstanding our request, |
placed 1t upon us, we have made dill |
gent efforts to secure the facts bear |
ing upon the subject from all sides, SO |
as to be able to present them as COM
pletely az possible. We have endeav-
ored to do this SO that the chamber
may be able to consider the matter in
diligently and arrive at such decision
as that the influence of the chamber
may be so directed as to injure no mari
time interest, and certainly not to in
lure the interests of any member of this
chambe;.'

MAY BUILD A BRANCH ROAD.

The Consolidated May Connecticut Nor
witch and Willimantic.
4 rev branch of the Consolidated
road from Norwich to Willimantic and
thence to Hartford will probably be
built by the Consolidated road in the
near future.
For some time past there have been
rumors current that the Consolidated
Railroad company was seriously consid-
eripg building branch road from the
Norwich division to the Central divi-
sion, thereby giving direct communi-
cation from New London and Norwich
with Willimantic and Hartford, says o
dispatch from New London. This re-
port is now strengthened by the fact
that for several days past surveyors
have been engaged in surveying line
from a point near the TaftviHe tunnel
northerly along the east bank of the
Shetucket river to point on the Cen
trail division near the village of Yer
sailles, at what is known as Lovetts
Crossing.
The distance is not over four miles be-
tween the two points and the entire dis
lance from New London to Willimantic
would be but very little more than by
the New London Northern railroad.
Some weeks ago a Norwich man met
President John M. Hall of the Copsol-
idated railroad in New Haven and mem
toned this subject to him, and was as
sured that the company would careful
ly consider the feasibility of building
such a road.

struck water main about twenty feet
down. A consultation was held, and
they put it down four feet further. That

will have to go down that same depth.
