Mrs. Ann Eliza Doolittlc Killed From
Injuries Received Last Night
Mrs Ann Eliza Doolittle died last
night about S:15 o'clock from injuries
received by her falling nown stairs in
the home Of Frank H. Greene, 157 Edge
wood avenhe. Mrs. Doolittle, who was
seventy-three years of age, was visiting
at the Greene home, her home being
in Hamden. At o'clock last evening
she went to go down stairs and at the
top Of the stairs she tripped and pitch
ed headlong down the entire flight. She
was unconscious when assistance came
to her and died about fifteen minutes
later.
Medical Examiner Bartlett was call
ed and he found that death was caused
from injuries received on the head.
Owing to Mrs. Doolittle's advanced age
she was unable to stand the shock,
which might have been overcome by a
younger person. Mrs. Doolittle was the
mother of Herbert Doolittle and George
r. Doolittle, the proprietors of the fish

BOER TA CTICS IN CHINA.
A Possibility That They May Yet be
Adopted

washington, Jan. 30.-An article in a.
prominent Chinese newspaper of recent
date, copy Of which has just reached
Washington, chronicles a condition
which may become an important factor
in the final disposition of the Chinese
question. The article states: "a very
important movement is going forward
all over China and more particularly
along the Yang Use Kiang basin in re-
sponse to special orders from the vice
roys and governors. Bodies of volun-
teers are being actively enrolled and
drilled in the use Of firearms, nominally
for their own protection, but in reality
they form a large and formidable re-
serve force. Every guild and trade, in
addition to all well-to-do gentry, have
these volunteer bodies, who are paid
and armed by the government They
are no public institution like regu-
lar troops, but are dispersed about in
towns and villages without any distin-
gushing feature, and in the event of
further hostilities will spring up from
all quarters precisely la Boer.''

FATE or THE SHIPPING BILL.
Likely to be Decided by Conference OF
Democrats To-Day.

Democrats To-day.
washington, Jan. 30.-The conference
of democrats and their associates OF
the populist and silver republican faith
will be held tomorrow as result cf
the declaration yesterday by Mr.. Frye
! that he intended to push the considera-
tion of the ship subsidy bill to the ex-
clusion Of all other business, yielding
only to vote cf the Senate. This con-
ference will determine the fate OF the
bill. If the opponents Of the measure
decide to continue stiff fight and de-
debate the measure at great length it
will mean defeat at this session with
the short time remaining to pass the
appropriation bills. The conference also
will take into consideration whether the
minority will desire to take the respon-
sibility of defeating a party measure of
the majority.
Some of the opponents Of the bill on
the democratic side feel that if the re-
publicans are determined to pass the
bill the minority should not go further
tnan to state their objections fully and
vote against it and to let the rapubli-
cans take the responsibility which is
theirs.
1t also develops that no one wants an
extra session and that one will be avoid
ed If there is any possible way of doing
so. 1t is even said that the Spooner
bill will be passed in order to avoid
such session.
Republican leaders say that they be-
lieve an extra session can be avoided.
They also say that the democrats must
decide whether they will take the re-
sponsibility of defeating the subsidy bill
and if it is demonstrated that they are
willing to take that responsibility, then
other necessary legislation will be
sion.

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS.
Secretary Long Submits Letter to House
Naval Committee.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Secretary Long
has addressed a letter to the House
naval committee relative to the pend
iEg resolution touching hazing at An
napolis. He enclosed a copy Of a letter
which he wrote to Mr.. Sherman on
learning that he had introduced the bill,
also copy of a report by the superln-
tendent'of the academy on the subject.
Secretary Long says that both the de-
partment and the superintendent would
welcome any investigation. It should
be borne in mind. however. that such
an investigation will necessarily tend
very much to demoralize the academy,
probably for the rest of the spring
term. He points out that no complaint
has come to him, during the time he has
been secretary Of the navy of any haz-
ing al the academy before or since the
introduction of Mr.. sherman's resolu-
tion, which is especially noticeable
since Mr. Sherman's resolution had call
ed public attention to the naval acad-
emy. The secretary continues:
II may be permitted to say also, that
consideration should be given the gen
eral rule that an Investigation is not
usually ordered unless the foundation
is laid for 1t by evidence of instances
of wrong doing. I suggest, further, that
before final action, the COMMITTEES au-
thorize me to summon the superin1en-
dent to appear before it and that II need
be a subcommittee of the committee
visit Annapolis where every facility
will, of course, be open to determine
whether there is Justification for for
NAL investigation. From the best in
formation can get, however, the prac-
tice of hazing has been, a1 the super
intendent states, mirimized by the bet
ter public sentiment of late yeals and
the result Of the investigation at West
Point will undoubtedly tend still fur.
ther to emphasize the sentiment Of the
public and of the students themselves
against the practice, that an investiga-
tion at the naval academy does not
seem to be required, unless foundation
therefore shall be laid as above sug-
gested"

EnEc1RrCAL WoNDERs PROMISED.
The MuItipIex Wireless TeIesraphy of
Professor Slaby.

Professor Slaby.
Berlin, Jan. 30.-Professor A. Slaby,
of the Berlin Technische Hochsschule,
in the course Of a remarkable interview
on THE Coming Electrical Revolution"
which is to appear in the forthcoming
number of a new technical periodical,
lasserts that his recent invention, null
tiplex wireless telegraphy, will produce
a very great transformation in existing
methods. 1t will be possible, he de-
cares, to apply the principle to sub
marine cables in such way as TO send
hundreds, and even thousands, of mes
sages simultaneously on the same wire,
thus enormously cheapening rates. Pro-
fessor Slaby believes that the problem
of direct production Of electricity from
coal will be solved. Germany, he pre-
diets, will be the foremost nation of
the twentieth century in technical pro-
duction, and electricity will be the poor
mans source of power and light. He
is confident Of the success of the cleo
trical express locomotives now being
constructed in Berlin for speed of two
hundred kilometres an hour.

PEACE AMONG THE CREEKS.
All That Remains is the Chief Snake'
TRIAL for Treason.

Henrietta, I. T., Jan. 3O.-Peace
among the warning Creeks has appar-
emily been reached and all that remains
to be done is to give Chitto Harjo, the
chief Snake, who has caused all the
trouble, preliminary hearing and send
him to Muskogee for trial for treason.
In the meantime a few more Of the
leaders will be arrested. The troop of
cavalry under Lieutenant Dixon will
probably remain here few days, until
the last vestige of the uprising has
passed. The Indians burned signal fires
last night on the hills surrounding the
town at a. distance of two or three miles
from the camp, and, fearing an attack
the soldiers remained under arms until
daylight, ready for instant action. But
the Indians did not attempt any depre-
dations.

London, as indicated by the war oll'ce
orders. issued this evening, Will De
gorgeous military pageant. Detach-
ments of forty regiments, with an ai-
most equal number of distinctive UNI
forros embracing all arms of the SER
vice will make a constantly changing
pict,1re. The uniforms of all the great
armies of the world will appear, for
in addition to the brilliant encourages
of the visiting kings and princely en-
VOWS, there will be the military at
taches of the embassies and legations.
All the field marshals of the British
army able to endure the fatigue Will
ride with their staffs. The naval corps
will also take part in the procession,
which will be two miles long. The war
office directs that Beethovsn's and Cho-
pins Funeral Marches only shall be
PLAYED. From the time the coffin
reaches London to It's departure guns
will boom slowly in Hyde Park.
Londoners are just awakening to the
full proportion Of the obsequies and the
result of days Of mourning, which to
numerous tradesmen and others means
absolute closure and is causing ccnster-
nation. Suddenly to stop every indus
try in the United Kingdom and to turn
the masses into the streets with mil
10 a1Onp the
two miles of the route of the procession,
is an undertaking which has begun to
be fully appreciated by the police, but
the public of London is dismayed to
find that all the great markets, Covent
Garden, Smithfield and others. where
the food of the metropolis is supplied,
are to be absolutely closed at the end of
the week.
The railways of the United Kingdom
will reduce their arrangements to the
Sunday schedules. Restaurants and
bars will be shut and the crowds will
have to wander in the streets London
is world in itself living from hand to
mouth, and the closing of the accus-
toned avenues for the supply and dis
tribution Of food, drink and amusement
from Friday to Monday will mean
loss and inconvenience that no Ameri-
can city could appreciate.
The newspapers are protesting
against the lack Of arrangements for
the press in London and Windsor, while
householders along the route are ask
ing years rent this evening for sin
gle windows. A member of the United
States embassy sent an agent to secure
window for his family, but neither Of
ficial influence nor anything else could
procure a small window even on a side
street near st. James street for less
than e100, and places of fair vantage
have already been engaged at prices
prohibited to any but millionaires.
London learned last year how totally
inadequate the police and military are
to protect, and the apprehensions of
Saturdays crush are enough to appall
Londoners, but apparently these con-
siderations do not deter thousands Of
every rank from flocking to the metrop-
oils.
