A NEW CONSTITUTION
Under Consideration in the Nutmeg
 State.

New Haven. Conn.,. Oct. 7.-An elec> ton was iu progress in Connecticut. to- day to decide the question whether or not there shall be a state convention for the revision of the constitution. It IS a contest for legislative supremacy between the small towns of the state and the large cities. The small towns Go not want any change that will cur
 tail the present controlling power in the general assembly. They have en- joyed that power from time imrdemo- rial. The democratic leaders and many of the leading republicans are in favor of q change giving a greater rerresen- tation to the larger towns of the state. The argument of the small towns . in substance, that if the representation of the cities and larger towns ;s in creased according to population the influence of the small places in Con necticut in legislative matters will Ie cut down to zero. Consequently they are making a desperate fight at the polls to day to knock out the proposal to hold constitutional convention.

arriving on schedule time, D. l.. Eman- Uel went home for day to attend to some business. When he returned to New York he found his brother ser lousy i'll at the Gilsey house.
 The sick man said that he would be all right in a few days, however, and the next day he left for Catasauqua. A physician who examined him at the latter place found Emanuel terribly burned all over the body with acid. The man suffered great agony and died several weeks later. He refused to say, however, how he was injured, and although Pinkerton detectives have been at work on the case the mystery has not been solved. Neither could they find any acid in the room that Emanue! occupied at the Gilsey house or on his clothing.
 While Emanuel was on his death bed a woman who said she was his wofe came to the house and remained there until he died. The woman was stranger to Emanuel's family who did not know that he was married. She left the day after the funeral and is be- lieved to be in New York Emanuel carried an accident policy for s15,oO0

have been paroled and have shown themselves to be good citizens. Ac- cordingly application was made for a parole in the case of Rose. It was not done on his motion. and it is possible that he will not accept 1t. He says he believes the reproach of a paroled con- Nict will be greater than that of an inn prisoned one; that he would rather r. main ir the penitentiary making a rec ord for good behavior. so that if he should ever be pardoned be can emerge into full citizenship at once. This is a view of the situation that would be taken by only one life convict in a thousand. Another reason why Rosa objects to a parole is that he Is pro- fessional prospector, and without citi- zenship he would be debarred from making location of mining claims.
 He has been a model prisoner and is said to be the most intelligent convict at Yuma

WATER MATTERS
The Old Henshaw Case to Be Tried
 in the October Term.

The Arizona Water company has de- tivered an ultimatum to the members of the Farmers Cooperative and Pro- terday. and it means that water will be delivered only to those who pur- chase water rights on the terms pro- posed at the beginning of the dispute Indignation among the farmers is high, and what course they will pursue has not been given out. Their objection to the water rights themselves is strong enough, but the objection to the ac- companying contract is still stronger. As has been mentioned. the actual sale of the water rights is not contemplat ed. but the farmers are to be furnished With bond for deed to water right upon the payment of a sum equal to that which non-owners have had to pay under the old plan, which the com pany claims is prohibited by the Sloan decision. The farmers say that this sum is greater. but worse than all, the terms of the bond are destructive of the principle for which they have been all along contending. According to the terms of the bond. if at the end of the year or season the holder of the water right should fail to pay the ba,- ance. the water right shall detach from the land and revert to the company. It is the opinion of the farmers that their signatures to such an agreement would be a voluntary surrender Of their vested rights.
 The old case of A l.. Henshaw ana others similarly situated. the majority stockholders in the north side canals. is to be tried again. This suit was be- gun about seven years ago and several weeks were occupied in the taking Ut testimony, which was so voluminous that the court reporters bill amounted to more than S3000. The object of the suit was to establish the rights of the plaintiffs as prior appropriators. About a year and a half later the case was taken up before Judge Baker and wsS dismissed by him on the ground that the pleadings were defective, in that the complaint was multifarious. An appeal was taken from this order and the supreme court reversed the lower court and ordered new trial.
 Col. William Herring. the attorney for the plaintiffs. has been in town sev- eral days preparing papers in the new case. They were completed yesterday and service on defendants was directed for the October term, which begins next Monday.

BUT 1T WAS ALL RIGHT
His Conduct Was Such as That of Any Good Commander in Chief Should Have Been - The Bonn bardment of the Colon Was Sue cessful Though Nothing Appears to Have Come of It.

Washington, Oct. T-Lieutenant Com rnander Hcasson today again occupied the greater part of the time of the Schley court of inquiry as witness He was followed on the stand by Cap tain w M.

He said he had no controversy with the commodore, but he repeated that the 1commodire said Damn the Texas" .when told that the vessel was in dan ger.

REFORM IN CHINA.
Req ffirmation of the Plan of 1898 -
 Southern Viceroys' Influence

Pekin. Oct. 7.-The issuance of four edicts forbidding the sale OF offices and providing for the abolition of the old style of examinations. the recogni- ton of a monetary standard and the establishment of q university in each province and a college prefecture in each public school district has caused much gossip. These edicts, which have been issued within the last three weeks, in addition to the one In re- gard to the destruction of records, are sufficient to revo!utionize the entire system of affairs in China. and haze aroused practically a reaffirmation of the reforms of 1898, which were lacking in the same high purpose.
 The emperor. it is said. has now de termined that they shall be enforced and the conservatives who previously opposed the reforms. are now with the emperor. The highest Chinese officers say that unless there is immediate and permanent execution of the reforms China will not last a decade. The reform in regard to the education marks the first establishment of a public school system in China. The names of the officers who will carry out the reforms have not yet been made public.
 Chou Flu, the provincial treasurer, Is seeking to disseminate bib.e teach ings. to conduct affairs with justice and arouse a sense Of public responsi- bility. which the Japanee inherited. but which do not exist in China.
 These reform edicts are attributed to the memorials sent to the court by Chang Chin Tung and some other southern viceroys. These memorials covered all the conditions referred to. The power of these viceroys with the court is great because of the success of their policy last year.

The investigation shows that Davis lost nearly all the money at gambling, the greater part at the game of craps.

Sembrich's Rosina is simply great; she
sings the music with facile purity of

plete artistry in phrasing and colora-
tura that put criticism to shame; more
than this, she sings it with genius.
And, as for her acting, shesis the born

Siegfried, and Fischer the born Hans
Sachs. She leaves nothing to be de-
sired The orchestra, under Mr.. Beyig-
mani, played excellently well; 1t Is
plainly made up of good material, and
does it's work in a painstaking way,
