 he is discharged He said: 'I have nc feeling here There are men in the po- lice department for whom I have the highest respect and for others I have no respect. If the good men in the de- partment would tell you the truth they would tell you that 1t was no place for them. It is the suckers who belong there and they must be fed at the pub lie crib. The police commissioners as- sessed fund and they went to Hart ford and got the pension bill and made you and I pay for it."
 Charles Gay was the next speaker and he said: "No one is more jealous of the right of public protest of citizens and taxpayers than I. No one is more ready to delegate powers to any body of men, but we must bear in mind that to hold meeting to criticise the action of the police commissioners, of the gen. erals of an army who order the dis cip1ine of their forces, is rather a dan gerous proceeding. The policemen and firemen are uniformed men, The power to make discipline among them is ab- solute and must rest somewhere. Your lives and your property are not safe in New Haven if the police commission CTS can be intimidated by public pro- tests. If the police commissioners acted in their discretion and within the law then you have no right to protest here and seek to undue their action. (Ap- plause) But if they have done wrong you have the courts open to you and no one here would give more aid than I to go to them. If you had petitioned the mayor that would have been all right, but a petition like this to weaken the authority of the police commissioners is dangerous. Act slowly and conserva- lively in this matter. If they have done wrong and acted illegally then the courts are open. If they have not-done wrong then you have no right to criti- else. In the name of good citizenship don't attempt to destroy the discipline of the police department of New Ha- ven"

CONSTITUTIONS FIRST SPIN

 low the Hog Island lightsnip, but at 1 ll:30 after an unsatisfactory hour and
 a half of drifting, the anchor was hove | overheard and he crew was sent to dinner on the Mount Morris.
 After the refreshment a nice ripping | breeze came from the southwest and l Tor the first time in her experience, the the Constitution started off with some | life, Close hauled on the port tack, l with Mr. Duncan at the wheel, the big
 yacht picked up her heels and ran down the bay at lively pace. She was
 under full sail all three headsails and the gafftopsail and with the wind con- stantly increasing she heeled over un- der good rap full Scarcely a bucket ful of foam showed up under her bow. Three or four times she was thrown about, filling away with little trouble, although her quickness in stays was not particularly noticeable, certainly not any faster than in the case of the Columbia. Once or twice she was sent about in something like 20 seconds, but ordinarily it took 25 or 30 seconds to get her off on the other tack. After half an hour on the wind, Captain Duncan put the wheel hard up and for a minute or two every wire, stay and shroud was showing what it was made of. Not strand gave way, although the boat heeled well down in the stiff breeze. The bowsprit however, worked a little loose and for fifteen minutes the boat was sent up the bay before the wind while the big stick was set up by two CT three of the crew. Once more the yacht was swung around into the wind and this time Captain Rhoades, her skipper, took the wheel The breeze in creased to nearly ten knots, blowing about south by west, yet with rather poor fitting headsails Captain Rhoades had little difficulty. in laying south- west by south course, and sometimes getting little closer. He also tried his hand at tacking ship and seemed to get a little quicker move on while in stays, but after sending the boat about a mile below Prudence Island or some eight miles above Newport, she was once more headed up the bay for her The Constitution jogged along with her big boom well off to port and just before reaching the en- trance of the harbor, was given short, sharp reach up toward Bristol Ferry. | This was all, however for soon after | the gafftopsail and the jibtopsai were | owered and at half past three the main | sail itself came down. She ran up to | her moorings under jb alone and her | first effort done.
 The yacht has not yet been turned over to her owners as there is still some fight work to be done on some of the 'igging and inside. It is probable that she will formally be placed in commis- sion at Newport late in the week. A critical analysis of the boat is that she s well balanced and we'll rigged, but Ter sails need improvement. As to her peed, 1t is too early in the game to lraw any conclusion. That in looks she s the handsomest craft ever launched tt Bristol and gem so far as work nanship goes, is the verdict of all experts.

SITUATION IN THIS STATE.
Offer to 100 Men in Now London-No
 Change at Hartford

Change at Hartford.
 New London, May 21.-The Whiton
 Machine company, of this city, employ ing one hundred hands, has offered the men nine-hour day with pay as at present. The offer has, however, the
 condition attached that the men shall
 not join the proposed union. The work
 men have taken it under advisement.
 Thompsonville, May 21.-The Goodson
 Graphotype company has refused to consider the demand of their one hum dred machinists for a nine-hour day on the ground that the men, who are near- ly all skilled workmen, receive as high rate of wages at present as the com- pany can afford to pay. The company offers fifty-four hour week at fifty four hours pay on the present sched- ule, but this the men decline. It is not thought, however that many will go out on account of the refusal.
 Hartford, May 21,-The general situa- tion at Hartford in the machlnists' strike is unchanged tonight. A few additions have been made to the ranks of the workmen during the day, but these have been counterbalanced by a small number of men who have gone back to work. The only action of note among the manufacturers is that of the Billings & Spencer Co.,, which has granted fifty-four hour week with a twelve and one-half per cent. increase of pay, amounting to a nine-hour day with full pay. The men have not yet formally accepted the proposition as the does not recognize the union, but 1t is thought that. a settlement will be effected.

Gen. Fitzjohn Porter Dead.

New York, May 21.-General Fitzjohn Porter, who had been i'll for several weeks at his home in Morristown, N. J, died this morning. He had been suffering from chronic diabetes, and his death had been expected for sev- eral days. He was eighty years old.
 General Porter was prominent fig ure during the civil war and his trial by court martial and dismissal from the army on charges that implied cow ardice, was celebrated case that at tracted attention for years. His friends insisted that he had been unjustly con- demned and they afterward proved their contention to be right. Porter was reirstated. The fight was long and bitter.

STRIKERS ARE MERRY

Judging from the hearty applause and general spirit of jollifcaton at strikers headquarters last evening the men who are out and idle are by no means unhappy over the conditions which confront them. Over lasts evening, and rounds of enthusiastic applause greeted every speaker. Elm lodge of machnists held q special meeting at which about twenty-five candidates were a meeting called for Friday evening.
 The strike situation in general so far as New Haven is concerned showed little change yesterday, with the exception that company In Fair Haven went out yesterday morning in response to orders from the union. The company had previously patch ed up an argreement with the employees, which the union refused to ratify.
