is said that never before in New Haven
has there been such a rush of new vot-
ers ON the opening day of the board

mated when the board adjourned last

and the town clerk. Assisting are a
number of clerks Ex-Judge David
Callahan is chief clerk, and the other
clerks are Willard Warren, Lewis b.
Brown, j. F. Coe, and Henry Hamilton.
Among those who appeared to be
made voters We're a number of Italians
and Russians whose imperfect knowl-
edge of the English language caused
considerable delay TO the board Several
were unable to comply with the require
ments that the voter must be able to
read English and SO were not made

students who room on the
campus to vote in New Haven, although
several who room off the campus were
admitted. The board has decided to
hold a special session at II o'clock next
Wednesday for the purpose of consid-
ering the rights of students who room
on the campus.

ties of this state to-day, making
speeches in more than a dozen cities

which Mr. Hanna said had been re-
Gently made by Mr.. Bryan that the re-
publican campaign managers had en-
tered upon extensive systems of bribery
in order to secure the election of the
republican ticket.
In regard to that statement" said
Senator Hanna, "before an audience in
Lincoln I want to hurl it back in his
teeth and tell him it is as false as hell.
When it comes down to personalities |

AFTER JOHN W. GATES LIFE
STEEL M4GNATE HIS N4RROW
ESCAPE FROM TENG EANCE.
s. Morris, n Chicago Contractor, starts
Out to Collectan Alleged Debt of $780,
900 Mt the Point of n Revolyer-Ar-
rested While Disputing With Ele-
vator Man,


Chicago, Oct 19.-S. I. Morris was
arrested this evening for an alleged at
tempt upon the life of John w. Gates,
ex-president of the American Steel and
Wire company When searched at the
police station two large revolvers were
found concealed In his pockets.
It is asserted that Morris also had
designs upon the life of w. II. Brimson,
general manager of the Kansas City
and Southern railroad, whom Morris, it
is alleged had enticed to this city by
means of a telegram purporting to have
been signed by Gates. Brimson called
upon Mr. Gates in his office in the
Rookery building,
After a hasty consultation the two
men decided that Morris originated the
scheme, both having received threaten
ing letters from him. Morris was cap
tured near the office of the Illinois Steel
company in the RooSery building. He
was formerly in the employ of Gates
and maintains that the later owes him
$685. 900 Morris could apparently give
no intelligible explanation of the affair
and refused to assign any reason for
being in the possession of the two re-
volvers Mr Gates is a multi-million-
aire and returned recently from Europe.
Morris is a contractor living at 206
La Sale avenue, Chicago. Two detec-
tives found Morris dsputing with the
elevator conductor who refused to al
low him to ascend After disarming
Morris the policeman took him to the
central station, where he was locked up
Morris finally acknowledged that he in
tended to collect an alleged debt ae-
gregating S50,000 from Gates and Brim-
son at the point of his revolver
Norris who was at one time in the
employ of the Illinois Steel COMPANY,
declares that he was authorized by
Gates and Brimson to expend certain
sums Of money in the furtherance of the
Calumet and Blue Island railroad In
1899 Morris brought suit against Gates,
but says he withdrew the suit on the
promise of settlement of his claim.
The settlement he says, has not been
affected. Morris when seen tonight in
his cell, emphatically denied that he in
tended to inAict bodily injury on either
Mr.. Gates or Mr. Brimson.

operators. There was nothing new in
the situation to-day and President
Mitchell still refuses to talk. Much
disappointment was expressed in this
region to-day because an early ending
of the strike was prevented by reason
of the powder grievance. What will be
done with this question is difficult to
forecast. Some of the strike leaders say
the union officials are not authorized by
the Scranton convention to decide the
powder grievance and that another con-
vention of miners will be necessary to
dispose of the question.

Berlin, Oct. ia semi-ofIlcial note
asserts that the diplomatic body at Pc
kin Will collectively acquaint Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching with the con-
ditions on which the powers will nego-
tiate for peace.
The Joint note of Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching has not made a good i'm
preston in government circles here
The general comment is that the note
reads more like conditions imposed upon
the conquered than the reverse. Dr..
Mumm Won Schwartzenstein, German
minister to China, will arrive in PelEin
in the course of a few days.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince ChinS
will be informed formally of the condi-
ton upon which the powers have
agreed. Germany takes the view, how
ever that such declaration by the
powers could not be considered the COM
mencamant of negotiations as such
step as negotiating for peace would
only be possible after the removal Of all
doubt that Ii Hung Change and Prince
Ching are fully empowered by the Chi
nase imperial court.
Statements have appeared in the press
charging that the Chinese imperial edict
degrading Prince Tuan was a forgery
The German foreign office leans to the
belief that it was genuine.
