BURGLARS USED A HAND CAR
Loaded a Depot Snfe on 1t t-Got Little
Booty but Escaped.

Washington, Conn, Sept 13.-Some-
time during Wednesday night or early
this morning burglars entered the
Litchfield depot of the Shepaug railroad
and blew open the safe and also ritled
a penny-in-the-slot gum machine, but
secured comparatively small sums Of
money They then took hand-car and
proceeded about eight miles to Rumford
station, where they secured the safe
and loaded it on to the car and contin-
ued some distance to the junction of
the east and west branches, where they
rif1ed the safe and in this case only So"
cured some stamps and petty sum of
money. The injury to the safe viii!
amount to much more than the booty
the burglars got. They then continued
to this place, where they left the hand
car and escaped.

proposal to evacuate Pekin and con-

THE BOIRD OF FTNANCE.
Resolutions Discussed ut Yesterday
AfterMOon's Meeting.

| The board of finance at the regular
| proved the usual batch of bills and dis
| cussed two resolutions presented by
James d. Dewell, jr., member OF the
board, which after discussion were ta-
bled for consideration at a future meet
ing. The resolutions We're as follows:
1t has been brought to the attention
of the undersigned by many citizens and
taxpayers that members of the board of
finance are in the habit of appearing be-
fore committees of the honorable court
of common council and advocating and
disappearing measures that require the
joint action of both of the above men
toned boards
This seems to the undersigned to be
an injudcious use Of the office of mem
Der of the honorable board of finance
and one that is likely to bring the board
into deserved disrepute, If it has not
already done so.
It is the opinion of the writer that the
use of said office in the manner above
suggested is in violation Of the spirit OF
our reform charter, which opposes all
deals between boards. no matter whath-
er The members OF said boards are con-
ST bred to be above reproach or not.
IN view of the above the writer rec
ommends the passage Of the following
resolution in the interests of good gov
ernment:
Resolved, That hereafter no member
Of said board Of finance except the two
members Of the court of common coun-
cil shall appear before the honorable
court of common council or any COM
mittee of said court and advocate or
disapprove any bill or measure OF any
nature that said board Of finance Is in
any way connected with either directly
or indirectly, without special permission
of said board of finance first obtained.
Many citizens and taxpayers having
made complaint to me during the past
week because of the high rate of taxa
tion in our city, and wishing me to dis
approve before our honorable board the
building of a new high school at pres
ent on account of said tax rate, which
is injuring the prosperity of our city.
would respectfully recommend the pass
age of the following resolution:
Resolved, That said board of finance
disapproves the issuing of bonds and
the building of new high school until
such time as our city can better afford
increasing its public debt

Washington, Sept. 13.-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister has received des-
that he expects to leave Shanghai to-
morrow for the north. Earl Ii should
reach Tien Tsin in about three and a
half days, After short rest at Tien
Tsin he will proceed to Pekn, where
it is expected he will promptly open ne
gotiations with the representatives of
the powers for the settlement of peace
terms.
London, Sept IA a. nn.-No further
light is thrown this morning upon Ii
Hung Chang's intended movements.
The Times has an interesting dispatch
from Pekin, dated September 4, which
says in part:
Russia has decided to withdraw her
legation from Pekin, leaving a purely
military command. An official an
nouncement of this is expected to-day.
The other powers will also presumably
withdraw their legations, leaving
Pekin under the military control Of The
allies. during the winter at least. AT a
meeting of the generals the Russian
commander announces that Russia viii
maintain $4,000 troops during the win
ter. The German commander said that
Germany would keep the same number,
and the Japanese commander announc-
ed that Japan would have $4,000 The
British general was not in position to
make an announcement. There is every
indication, however, that Lord Sails
bury has decided that our present sub
ordinate position in Pekin must become
still humber. In the best informed
quarters the opinion is expressed that
Russia and Germany are acting in &C
cord Russia seeking the definite alien
alton of all territory north of the great
wall and Germany the annexation Ct

Use provinces. Russia seeks also to re-
strict the power of the empress dowager

evitahle."
The decision of Great Britain not to
withdraw from Pekin, which vas Off
cially made known to-day meets With
general approval.
