A NEW WATER COMMITTEE
ACTION TAKEN BY COUNCILMANIC c
 BOARD LAST NIGHT.

Voted to Refer Whole Contract Matter to
 Special Committee of Which the Instructed to Hold Public Hearings = Cuunoilmanic Members Elected Are Messrs. Mason, Frederick and Elliott l Aldermen to Act Tonight. 1 The board of councilmen at the spe- cial meeting last night took new step in relation to the proposed water con- tract between the city and the New Haven Water company by referring the proposed continuing contract, the cor poration counsefs opinion, the mayors message, the amendments suggested in accordance with the recommendations in the mayors message and all other matters pertaining to the contract to a new special water committee to consist of the mayor, the corporation counsel, three councihnen and two aldermen to hold public hearings and report back as soon as possible.
 As soon as the board was called to order last night Councilman Coyle pre- scented a resolution providing that the recommended continuing contract with the amendments suggested by President Whitney of the Water company for a more definite provision concerning eX- emption from franchise tax and for in cluding purchasing clause be referred to the corporation counsel for an opin- ion as to the legality of such a con- tract.
 Councilman Frederick moved to table this resolution but Councilman Cum ningham raised the point of order that the requirements of section 129 of the charter that no vote, resolution, or measure be placed upon it's passage until after it shall have been referred to a committee and public hearings given thereon had not been compiled with.
 President Harkins ruled that the point of order was not well taken since the water committee had been empow cred to secure terms for a new contract and report back and after holding sev- eral public hearings had so reported back.
 The motion to table Councilman Coyle's resolution was lost on a rising vote oe 19-15.
 On motion of Councilman Elliott the report of the water committee was taken from the table, where it was con- signed at the last meeting The mes sage from the mayor published yester day was then read together with the communication and draft of amend ments submitted to the mayor Monday evening and also published yesterday. In communication accompanying the amendments the mayor recommended that they be referred to the corporation counsel.

MISS STONE NOT RELEASED,
State Department Receives Disnppoint-
 ing News Hitch in Negotiations,

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The state de- partment to-day received a dispatch from the United States representatives in Turkey regarding the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American mission ary held by brigands, and her compan- ion, Madame Tsilka. Its contents were disappointing, the captives not having been released as was hoped would be the case from the manner in which the negotiations looking to that end had been progressing lately Ofic as are averse to discussing the case freely, but it is understood that the hesitation of the brigands in bringing the matter to a prompt conclusion is due to their dis trust of the attitude assumed by the Turkish authorities. The ransom has not been paid
 Vienna, Jan. 2S.-A telegram has been received here from Sofia saying that the brigands wish the liberation of Miss Stone, the captive American mission ary, to take place upon Turkish terri tory, but that the Turkish government will not consent to this arrangement unless it be advised of the time and place of the passage of the brigands across the frontier. The Turkish gov ernment requires also that a neutral es- cOrt shall accompany the brigandS.

CITATIONS TO SOHLEY.
Trip from Chicago to Louisville an
 EyentfuI One

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 2S,-Rear- Admir- al Schley, who will be Loulsville's guest until Friday next under the care of the board of trade and the Knights Tenn plar, arrived here over the Monon road at 7:15 o'clock this evening. He was greeted by an admiral's salute and shouting crowd of many hundreds at the depot. He was escorted to his car riage by the full committee represent ing his hosts, and was driven to the res- idence of Marion F. Taylor, president of the board of trade. Here the ad- miral and Mrs Schley spent a quiet evening.
 The trip from Chicago was one long ovation, and so vigorous were some of the handclasps which the distinguished seaman received en route that his right hand was nearly ''out of business" as the admiral explained. He begged the sub committee of the Louisville recep- ton committee which met him at Sa- lem, Ind, to handle it with care. It was at this point that F. A. Munger, president of the Hamilton club of Chi cago, turned the admiral over to his new entertainers. The admiral made no speeches on the trip, although at some of the stops he spoke few words of greeting. Telegrams from every sta tion along the line, many of them say ing that the schools had been closed to allow the children to see the admiral, were received. They asked that the admiral appear on the platform, if only for a moment.
