STRIKE IS DECLARED OFF.
New Britain Machinists End Fight for
 Nine-Hour Day.


 New Britain. July 25.-The strike of the machinists, which has been in force since May 20. has terminated. A tele- gram has been received from the head quarters of the grand lodge at Wash ington, D. O., officially declaring the strike off
 This telegram conveyed the requir- ed sanction of the national officers. The local lodge had already taken ac- tion at special meeting last night and awaited orders from headquarters before the strike could be officially de- clared off. President Thorngren read the telegram to the members of the lodge yesterday afternoon.
 At the special meeting last night the committees who visited the fac tories to see what terms could be made to take the men back. made their reports. They met with very little success.
 President Thorngren, who in person went to Russell & Erwin's factory and had conference with B. B. Bassette the acting manager reported that the company would not be able to give employment to all their old men. They could send in their applications and the company would employ as many as they needed. Their applica- tions would be considered the same as if they were from new men.
 The committee which waited on President ". H. Hart of the Stanley works reported that he had informed them that he would not be able to give them employment at present. as the company is raising the roof one story over the machine room.
 At Corbin's factory. the committee stated they had been refused an audi ence. The other factories will follow out about the same policy towards their former employees as Russell &, Erwin.
 Out of the 25O men who went out on the strike, it is estimated there are about ninety men left who are seeking employment They have been idle for ten weeks. Some of them exnect to secure positions out of town. Presluent Thorngren, when inter- viewed to-day, said the failure or me strlKe was due to the fact that they nau not received the support financial " which they were promised before they went out, from the American Federation of Labor The Machinists' grand lodge he said, had given them all the support that it could. In time they probably would have obtained aid from the Federation of Labor. but if took several weeks for 1t to col feet in money. What effect the end or the strike would have on the future or the union in this city President Thorngren said that he could not tell. The machinists deserve credit for the law-abiding strike which they have conducted.

ON ANsoN1A STRIKE.
overtures Have Been Made By the
 Board of Arbitration.

An official of the labor bureau ex- pressed the opinion to-day, says the Hartford Post. that the Ansonia strike could be settled by the state board or arbitration if both sides to the contro- yersy would request the intervention of the board. It Is understood that the board has, as required by section or the public acts, put itself into com munication with the officials in the An sonia dispute, but nothing has been heard in reply.
 Clerk George L. Parsons of the board is now in Vermont on his yaca- tion, and before going he had slips printed and distributed.
 These in substance call attention to the duties of the board of arbitration and offer its assistance in bringing the strike to an amicable settlement.
 A reply was received from Thomp- sonyille during the trouble there ask ing mediation, but before the board could act it was withdrawn.
 As far as can be learned the board of arbitration is ready to take action i'll the Ansonia trouble when its over lures are recognized and taken advan- tage of.
 Section 4, chapter 239, of the public acts reads as follows:
 Whenever a strike or lockout shall occur or is seriously threatened in any part of the state, and shall come to the knowledge of the board, it shall be its duty, and it is hereby directed to proceed, as soon as practicable, to the locality of such strike or lockout, and put itself in communication with the parties to the controversy, and en- deayor by mediation to effect an amic- able settlement of such strike or lock out.''
 When Chairman Ives was asked if he had been to Ansonia he replied he had not. When his attention was called to the statute whereby the board is directed to proceed to the To- cality of the strike, he said he sup posed Clerk Parsons had sent one of the boards notices to Ansonia and had received no reply.
 MT Ives said he had been away part of the time during the strike and re- turned from Cleveland, O., two weeks ago.

BURIED BY TWO HUSBANDS.
Remarkable Case in England Re
 called by One in America.

called by One in America.
 Apropos of the remarkable instance of conjugal devotion which has re- gently been displayed by MT Cannon of Cincinnati in bringing his wife's body from America to her native place in this country for interment, says the London Globe, it is interest ing to recall somewhat similar but even more romantic story which is re- corded of Lord Dalmeny, eldest son of James, second Earl of Rosebery. This young nobleman, who died in 1T55, met in London some years pre- vious to his death, a lady with whom he fell violently in love and whom he persuaded to marry him. The mar riage though concealed from the rel atives on both sides, proved to be an extremely happy one, the pair living together in the greatest harmony until the lady was overtaken by mortal illness. When assured that she was dying she asked for pencil and paper aud wrote the following message II am the wife of the Rev MT Cough, rector of Thorpe. in Essex. My maid en name was c. Cannon. and my last request is to be buried in Thorpe"
 In what circumstances she had de serted her husband does not appear, but Lord Dalmeny protested that he knew nothing of her former marriage and immediately set about fulfilling her last wishes. He had the body em- balmed and enclosed in a chest. and then, under the assumed name of 'Vil- Hams. he brought it to England, land- ing at Colchester. Here the chest was suspected by the customs house off cers of containing smuggled goods and H. 4I tress of the bereayed husband, who grew almost distracted under the dark CT suspicion which arose when it's real contents were revealed.
 However. after infinite difficulty, he succeeded in conveying the body to Thorpe, and when it had been placed in the church on an open bier took his seat beside it, evidently absorbed i'll grief, the scene having reminded q by stander of Romeo and Juliet.' At length he gave a full explanation of the circumstances of his marriage, and Mir Cough was sent for to come and identify his wife, which the latter gentleman did without a moments hesitation. The meeting between the sorrow-stricken young man and the indignant husband was described as a most moving one, but neither seemed inclined to waive his right to the oth- CT, though of the two Lord Dalmeny was the most anxious to do honor to the deceased. He had a splendid cof- fin made for her, and followed her body to Thorpe, where he was met by Mir Cough. and in their presence the burial was performed with all due solemnitSS thus furnishing probably the only instance on record of a wom- an being attended to her grave by two husbands at the same time. Immedi- ately after the ceremony Lord Dalme- ny left for London, apparently incon- so,able at his loss. In the peerage he is described as unmarried.

RIGNEy UNEARTHED THE BEER
Two Suburban Hostelries swooped
 Down On This Morning.

Two Suburban Hostelries Swooped
 Down On This Morning.
 By order of Prosecuting Agent John M. Sweeney of Naugatuck, Deputy Sheriff Rigney swooped down upon two well known hostelries on the High land division road this morning and captured quantity of wet goods which had been stored away for the convenience of summer boarders. The first place visited was the Oatman house in Southford, kept by William Dennis. Dennis is well known in this city. He was for years in the employ of the Matthews x Willard Co as q foreman in the shipping department, and later was collector of cases for packing goods. 4 few years ago ne gave up city life and took up the bur den of a rural Boniface in the district nan ed This morning was the hrst time time his place had been officially visited by an officer of the law, and he made no attempt to disguise hls feelings when Sheriff Rigney displayed to him the warrant issued by Attorney Sweeney empowering him to search the premises for contraband goods. 4 dently upon information previously ob- tained from a secret source, the sheriH walked directly toward a recess and unearthed a few dozen bottles of beer and q gallon or so of whiskey.
 The second place visited by the sheriff was the Oaktree house in South bury, conducted by Fred Scott. MT Scott knew the sheriff very well. They used to punch each other when they were boys. Scott has learned since then that the sheriff, although little fellow. can strike far harder than he himself can, so that he made no out cry and called up the scenes of their boyhood when the little man from Wa terbury, armed with a little bit of legal paper, entered. As in the first instance the sheriff seemed to know where the 'stuff' was in concealment, and revealed half a dozen cases of beer without the slightest bother. Now" said the sheriff, with tears in his eyes, like a summer boarder bidding fare we'll to his landlord, "you know, Mir Scott, it's agin the law, an what's agin the law must be sat upon." Herewith the sheriff made a pile of the half dozen cases of beer and then took seat until Scott had made up his mind what to do. It did not take him long to do this. In an instant he underwent that mysterious process known as "settled." Dennis did the same and the sheriff returned home a richer. and wiser man.

 Full of Hartford beer. Patrick Far rel and James s. Scanlon, residents of the Capitol city, came to town yester- day. They were so drunk that they were unable to get out of the radius of the Highland division depot and all the evening they annoyed people on Wesf Main street asking for money to buy beer.

AIDING THE INSURGENTS.
General Agent of the TabRca1eria
COMPANY Arrested mt P%agsanion.


Manila, Feb. 20.-At P~agsanjon,
Province Of Luguna, Tuesday, Lieut..
Vaughan, Of the Tbirty-seventh infan-
try, arrested Fernando Russian, gen.
eral agent of the Tabacaleria com
pany, on the charge of having aided
the insurgents. Abundant documen-
tary evidence against the prisoner
has, it is asserted, been secured.
Russian is a French subject, and a
close friend of the i%nsurgent gem
eral, Cables, and was, to a certain ex-
tent, associated with ID. NJ. Carman,
the American contractor, who was re-
Gently taken into custody charged
with having furnished supplies to the
Insurgents.
The Tabacaleria company is said to
be further incriminated.
1t is also been learned that Russian
furnished the insurgents with sup
plies, information concerning the
American troops and their move
ment, as well as with money. He
dealt directly with the rebel general,
Cables, who has been operating con-
tinually in the district east of Ma

A BELGIAN DISCLAIMER.
The Alleged Belgian Consul mt Ma
Mia Declared Not IA Belgian.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The Belgian
minister here, Count Lichtervelde, has
explained that the Andre, represented
to be the Belgian consul and report
ed to have fled from Manila to avoid
arrest on a charge of assisting the
rebels, is not a Belgian, nor is he a
%full-Aedged consul. He was a resi-
dent merchant of Manila, and acted as
a sort of business agent for the Bel
gian government, which does not feel
that it should be charged with re-
sponsibility for his political actions.
1t is stated at the legation that Bel
GUM has no intention of engaging in
retaliation against the United States
because of the action of our govern
ment in imposing a countervailing
duty on Belgian beet sugar imported
into the United States, that method
of reprisals being foreign to Belgian
practice.
