Assays Show as High as 2295 Ounces a Ton.
 The land in Somers, this state. on which gold recently has been discov- cred, lies fully a mile and half from Bald mountain. The gold-bearing ledge is distinct and separate upheaval and not connected with the main mountain ridge, which forms the eastern border Of the Connecticut valley. The ledge is fully fifteen hundred feet in length and from four to six hundred feet in width. The rock where the gold is found is col ored With various shades of green and plue, containing many minute particles or iron pyrltes, also sulphur and arsen- ie' Gold was, first discovered July A. 1884, in smalf quantities in the outer border of the ledge, and from different parts of this border rock was assayed at different times by Henry E. Wood, of Denver, showing gold from $1.6O to $500 a ton. On searching other places richer rock was found and two speci- mems were assayed by Professor John E. Sutphen, of Glens Falls, N Y. The assay of one showed gold $22.9O a ton, silver $3.S0 a ton. The other assayed gold $1411 ton, silver $1.S0, iron per cent, copper per cent
 Still richer appearing rock was found and the rock containing the greatest abundance of yellow scales and parti- cles was sent to Henry souther, No. 440 Capitol avenue. Hartford, for assay, which resulted in finding 22.95 ounces of gold to the ton. Another sample showed 12.S ounces.
 All assays have been made from sur face rock. There are masses of DOT phyry near this ledge, and veins of this formation are more or less visible mixed with the gold bearing rock

 From this matter two letters were con- structed. ostensibly from Lucana to Aguinaldo.
 "One of these contained informant tion as to the progress of the war. The other asserted that, pursuant to orders received from Balderemo Aguinaldo, Lacuna was sending his best company to Presidente Emilio Aguinaldo. His plans completed and approved, General Funston came to Manila and organized his expedition, selecting sev- enty-eight Macabebees, all of whom spoke Tagalog fuently. They wore in- surgent uniforms and the others the dress of Filipino laborers. This Maca- bebee company armed with fifty Maus- CTS, eighteen Remingtons and ten Krag- Jorgensens, was commanded by Captain Russell T. Hazard. With him was his brother, Lieutenant Oliver P M Haz- gard, both of the Eleventh United States cavalry. Captain Harry w. Newton, Thirty-fourth infantry, was taken because of his familiarity with Casiguran bay, and Lieutenant Burton Mitchell, Fortieth infantry, went as General Funston's aide. These were the only Americans accompanying the leader of the expedition.
 with the Macabebees were four in- surgent officers, one being a Spaniard and the other three Tagalogs whom General Funston trusted implicitly.
 General Funston and the American officers wore plain blue shirts and kha- Xxi trousers. They carried each a half blanket but wore no insignia of rank. The Macabebees were carefully in structed to obey the orders of the four ex-nsurgent officers.
 'On the night of March the party embarked on the United States gunboat Vicksburg. It was originally intended to take cascoes from the Island of Po- lilo and to drift to the mainland, but a storm arose and three of the cascoes were lost. This plan was abandoned. At 2 o'clock on the morning of March II the Vicksburg put her lights out and ran in shore twenty-five miles south of Casiguran, province of Principe. The party landed and marched to Casiguran. The Americans had never garrisoned this place and the inhabitants are strong insurgent sympathizers. Hav-
 
 cers, ostensibly commanding the party, announced that they were on the way to join Aguinaldo between Pautobagan and Baler, that they had surprised an American surveying party, and that they had killed a number, capturing five. They exhibited General Funston and the other Americans as their pris- oners.
 "The insurgent presidente of Casigu- ran believed the story. Two of the La cuna letters, previously concocted, were forwarded to Aguinaldo at Palanan, province of Isabella. General Funston and the others were kept imprisoned for three days, surreptitiously giving or ders at night. On the morning of March 1 r, taking a small quantity of cooked | corn, the party started on a ninety-mile | march to Palanan. The country is l rough and uninhabited and provisions | could not be secured. The party ate | small shell fish, but was almost starv- |

Do you realize that when you say the that you say you do mt trust the peo- pie? You are afraid to trust the peo- pie. The reform association will go to 1 the people and charge you with that distrust. Other states trust their peo-
 pie. But the people of Connecticut can't be trusted to govern themselves. Why is the opposition made to a con- vention? He spoke frankly and he im- pugned no mans motives, but there is a great concealed underground opposi- ton to a convention That influence is cast in favor of amendments and against the convention. He was not against corporations. For ten years he was counsel for a railroad. The cor porations are as much entitled to pro- tection in their rights as poor man in the poorest ward in a city. Corpora tions have been compelled to resort to methods to protect their very lives on account of conduct and practices of political strikers. Corporations, if they could get what they needed without coming to the legislature would keep out of politics.
 Others who spoke for constitutional reform and for constitutional con- vention were MT. Griswold, of Guilford, and Attorney Nickerson, of Cornwall. Colonel I. M. Ullman, of New Haven, Representative Willis, John G. Batter son, of Hartford, ex-Mayor F. B. Farnsworth, of New Haven, spoke for the calling of the convention. The hearing will be continued next Wednes- day afternoon.

[ GAVE TO BEGGARS
 "The sudden death of Chris Magee
 Quay's rival boss, reminds me of sin
 gular little incident" said man from | Pennsylvania. "Magee was a bitter | fighter politically, but personally he was big and genial and extremely ten | der-hearted in the presence of suffering. | One evening, several years ago, was in Harrisburg on some business, and, ! strolling out of the hotel after dinner I encountered him on the corner with a
 couple of mutual friends I joined the group and while we were standing here, talking about nothing in particular, a very tough-looking hobo slouched up
 and made a general appeal for a dime, declaring he was half starved. One of the party waved him off and he was
 shambling away when Magee, who
 hadn't observed him before, asked what
 the man wanted. He says he wants a
 square meal I replied, but I guess he
 means a beer Oh! well, may be he's
 real hungry said Magee, and, raising
 his voice, he called the fellow back and
 gave him quarter, Go and get some-
 thing to eat he said. Have you any

 in surprise. Not the slightest said
 Magee, but I make it rule never to
 refuse a beggar who claims to be hun-
 gry.' Then he told this curious story
 in, as nearly as I remember, these
 words: One night, a long time ago. he
 said, I was standing in doorway in Pittsburg, when a tramp came along and begged for money to buy food just as this one did moment ago. He said he was almost starved, but he didn't look it particularly, and, not be- ing in a very good humor at the time, I ordered him off An hour or so later the policeman on that beat found dead man in an alley, and when the doctors held an autopsy on the body they dis covered that he had undoubtedly died of starvation. His stomach was as empty as a drum and it was plain that he hadn't eaten particle of food for several days. The case attracted a good deal of attention, and, reading about it in the morning papers, looked in at the moreue to see the body, and recognized the tramp who had tackled me unsuccessfully the night before. Of course I was deeply shocked and reproached myself for not having listened to his appeal It was said, I that there was no reason for such a death, and if he had applied to any of the aid societies he would have received prompt assistance; but the chances were he was poor ignorant fellow who knew nothing about organ ized charity. Anyhow he starved while he was trying to get help added the big politician, signing, and since then I have never turned down a peggar who said he was hungry, no matter how ragged, dirty or drunk he might happen to be- "-New Orleans Times-Demo- crat.
