Littletown was today granted a divorces
from her husband, Loci F. Emo, librar-
ian of Columbia college, by Judge
Shuer of the superior court. The end
of the famous case came rather unex-
pectedly, for the testimony of Mr.. Emo,
the libellant. was not concluded until
late in the morning session and no evil
dence had been offered by the libelee
on the cross complaint when the mid
day adjournment was taken.
A consultation of counsel took place
in the interim before the opening of the
afternoon session, and as a result the
complaint of Mr.. Emo, charging his
wife with intolerable cruelty, was with
drawn and a divorce was allowed un-
contested on her cross complaint which
made the same allegations. To Mrs.
Emo was given the custody of the
daughter, fifteen years old, while Mr..
Emo was made guardian of the son,
aged nine.

GOMPERS WILL BE REFLECTED
Indications at the Session of the FEEDER
alton of labor,

Louisville, KY, Dec. 12.-To-days
session of the American Federation of
Labor apparently disclosed the fact
that there will be little or no opposition
to the reelection of Samuel Gompers as
president. Two propositions, the votes
which may be regarded as tests, result
ed in decisive triumphs for the ideas ad-
vocated by Mr.. Gompers. Max Hayes
of Cleveland led the opposition in both
instances, but the battle did not at any
time become personal or bitter One of
the resolutions was to limit the term of
the federation's president In future to
two years; the other provided for the
election of officers of the body by the
initiative and referendum instead of a
vote in mass convention on the last day
of the annual convention, as prevails at
present Both were defeated. The con-
test for next years convention appears
to lie between Milwaukee and Scran-
ton, Pa

ACCIDENT TO GENERAL MILES
FILLS FROM HIS HORSE DURING
THE CENTENNIAL Parade.
Not Seriously Hurt-The One Hundredth
Anniversary of the Founding of the
Seat of the Federal Government In
Washington Brilliantly Celebrated
President Reviews Parade.

Washington, Dec 12.-Lieutenant
General Miles had a slight accident
while heading the centennial parade
to-day, break in his horses saddle
girth giving the general fall. The
head of the parade had just passed the
presidents reviewing stand and Cen
eral Miles having saluted the president
had turned his horse toward the house
wing of the capital when the accident
happened. General Miles saved himself
from being hurt in the fall and suffered
nothing save the inconvenience and an
noyance of the accident. He soon af-
terward appeared with the other Off
oials in the house of representatives
and took part in the exercises.
With imposing ceremonies the ma
tional capital to-day celebrated the
centennial anniversary of the founding
of the seat of the federal government
in Washington. The exercises combin-
ed brilliant military parade, a review
by the president from the east front
of the capitol and orations in the hall
of the house of representatives, where
a brilliant audience was assembled BY
act of congress the day was made a
holiday in the District of Columbia, the
government departments were closed,
business was suspended and the whole
city gave itself over to celebrating the
capitals natal day. President Mckinley
and the members of his cabinet took
prominent part in the exercises and
with them were the chief executives of
Jo of nj ri
tories of the union, the senators and
representatives in congress, the judi
ciary of the United States supreme
court, the ambassadors and ministers
from foreign courts, the heads of the
army and navy and a great outpouring
of the people.
Although Washington is the scene of
many celebrations, it is seldom that one
has occurred here of greater brilliancy
in it's outdoor features or of more i'm
in it's ceremonial exercises
at the capitol and at the white house.
Early in the day the president received
the governors of states and territories
at the white house and the model for a
new and enlarged white house to COM
to-day's exercises was unveil-
ed with suitable addresses. At o'clock
the president was escorted to the capi-
toll where he reviewed a parade headed
by Lieutenant General Miles and in
cluding the full military strength of the
capital, regulars and militia.
The ceremonies at the capitol began
at 80 p. m. and included addresses by
Senators Daniel of Virginia and Nc
Comas of Maryland, Representatives
Payne of New York and Richardson of
Tennessee and a notable historic ora
ion by Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts,.
A reception by the president to the
governors of states at the Corcoran art |
gallery tonight closed the festivities.

WORK ON CUP DEFENDERS.
Herreshoff Boat VIII be Ahoat and
Rugged by Middle of Nav,

| Bristol, r. l., Dec. 12-The work of
collecting the material for the new cup
defender is progressing satisfactorily,
ana there is little doubt but that she
VIII be atloat and rugged by the first or
middle of May month sooner than in
the case of the Columbia. The 1899
champion will not be brought here un-
I'll just before the new boat is ready
Tor launching, as there is little to be
zone to her except scraping and paint
ING II the plans of those in charge of
the two boats are carried out, both
yachts will be sailing their first trial
races off Newport before May 20, which
VIII give the new boat nearly ten weeks
tuning up before the New York Yacht
club cruise, during the first week in
August The nickel steel frames for
the new boat are being turned out in
Steelton, Pa, and orders have been Civ
en- to push the work if possible ahead of
other contracts.
The Vanderbilt seventy Rain
bow will probably be put overheard the
last of this week, so that the actual
work of starting the new boat will be
begun next week. with every prospect
that Christmas will see her well under
way.
The blocks for both the Belmont SYM
dicate and the Lawson cup defenders
will be made by Walter Colomon & Sons
of Providence. This firm made the Co.
lumbia's blocks and yesterday it signed
contract for those in the Boston boat.
Every scrap of news regarding the
Lawson boat is eagerly read in this city
and almost as much interest is taken
in her as in the Herreshoff production.
Boston, Dec. 1.-THE developments of
to-day in the prelimnaries leading up
to the beginning of work on the Boston
built cup defender are not of any spe-
cial Importance, except to show the de-
termination of those interested to
smooth over any difficulties that might
come up later on. Superintendent Boyd
of the Atlantic works was in consulta-
tion with Builder Lawley in South Bos-
ton during the day and it Is possible
that the work upon some of the other
contracts which Mr. Lawley has upon
his hands at present may be done at the
works. so that Mr.. Lawley may
be able to devote his entire attention to
the new cup defender Mr. Boyd offer |
ed to extend every possible courtesy, |
and do all in his power to expedite the |
work on the defender even to loaning
Mr.. Lawley additional help.
From what Mr.. Lawson said during |
the day it seems quite certain that |
Captain Nat Watson will be sailing |
master of the Boston boat He is con-
sidered among the best, If not the best |
of yacht masters on the New England |
coast, and a good disciplinarian.
Mr.. Lawley says that he will have the |
bulk of the Trace set up Within a month
and this means that the lead keel will |
be run as soon as enough pigs of that
metal can be collected at City Point,
which will mean within a week at
most
Mr.. Crowninshield is now at work on
he plans for the mold. The bulk will
contain close to one hundred tons of
he metal.

Grievances OF the Players Presented--
Defects i'm Contracts.

| New York, Dec. 12-After trying for
two days the National league magnates
finally got into session at the Fifth
Avenue hotel tonight. The meeting
was called to order by President Young.
This was the busiest day that the
League magnates have put in. The
committee appointed by the League to
hear the grievances of the Players Pro-
tective association went into session in
Parlor D. The committee is composed
of Messrs. Rogers, Soden and Brush
The players organizations demand
that the session be an open one was
acceded to, and when the session began
the parlor was crowded The meeting
was opened by Mr.. Soden, who stated
that as the result of correspondence be-
tween Mr. Taylor and the League mag
mates the committee had been appoint
ed to listen to the demands of the play
ers. The Committee, he said, was ap-
pointed last September, but for various
reasons could not meet the players
committee until the present time. Mr..
Soden said that the committee had no
power to act, but would report the con-
ference back to the meeting of the
League
In stating the demands of the play
ers to the league committee Mr.. Taylor
said there were just three defects in the
present form of contracts that the
players wanted changed. They are the
modification of the reserve clause the
entire elimination Of the farming out"
clause and the modification of the
clause relating to the power Of club
owners to buy and sell players or
calm them without first getting the
players consent Before he would con-
sent to present the players demands to
the leagues committee, Mr.. Taylor ex-
acted q promise that the committee
would report the matter to the league
Immediately and that some action
would be taken by the league at it's
present session. Mr.. Taylor demurred
to treating with the committee at first
on the ground that it had no power to
act. He asked that the matter be laid
over until it could be presented to
full meeting of the magnates.
Both Chairman Soden and Colonel
Rogers assured Mr.. Taylor that the
matter would be more expeditiously
treated if presented to the committee
"This matter is a serious one to U.s."
said Colonel Rogers. Contracts are
committee will make a fair and truth
FL report to the league of what you
say TO u.s."

STATUS OF HA W-AH.
An Interesting Case Argued Before
Judge Townsend.

New York, Dec. 12.-The case of Will
liam Fl. Crossman & Bro. against the
United States was argued before Judge
Townsend in the United States circuit
court to-day. Judge Townsend reserved
mis- decision. The case involves the
question as to whether or not the Ha-
waiian Islands came under the consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
immediately on the passage of the joint
resolution of annexation on July Z, 1898,
and before the act of April 80, 1900.
Crossman & Bro. imported merchan-
disc from Honolulu into the port of
New York on April 26, 1900. The collec-
tor of the port assessed the duty on
the goods under the tariff act of 1897.
The importers claimed in this case that
at the time of their Importation the
Hawaiian Islands were a part of the
United States and their goods were not
therefore, subject to any duty.

teen hundred miles behind them in the

and until Frederick relieved him. When
Fisher dismounted his tire was perfect
ly fat
He had sustained bad contusions Of
the right thigh and many bruises OF
the body. Aaronson had badly cut
eye and bruises in plenty. Fisher was
battered and shocked. The two French
men escaped better than any Of the
others, getting only a shaking up Nc
Farland, who with Ryser and Kaiser
and Pierce, were not thrown. Aaron
son was declared out of the race at 1
o'clock this morning, thus removing
the team of o. V. Babcock, New York,
