 COustm Was Dying.

Weigold be- came interested in the actions of the dog, and to-d day followed it and made a startling discovery. Lying near .tone wall about two miles outside the town, in secluded spot, was his cousin Will liam with his throat badly gashed, but still breathing. Young Weigold disap- peared from home just week ago to- day, and it was feared at the time that he had committed suicide. He is in a serious condition. The man was taken to the New Haven hospital

EMPEROR OPPOSED TO IT
WILL NOT ENCOURAGE DISARM-
 AMENr OF TOWERS NOW.
His Opinion, Well Known to DlplO- mats, ts That Such Action Is n Dream of the Future-AIso & Fantastic Idea
 


 Berlin, Aug. 1.-The King of Italy's proposal of contraction of European armaments is subject on which the czar and the German emperor undoubt- edly will converse at their meeting at Reval on the occasion of the Russian naval nanoeuvres. Emperor William almost certainly will give the sugges- tion no encouragement. His opinion, well known to diplomats, is that disar- mament is dream of the future and a fantastic idea when considered in connection with the existing continental situation. Germany cannot consent to impair her finest instrument of offense, which is the defense of her existence" he Is quoted as saying, because other nations are unable to equal it. We can stand the expense, and. besides, I cori- sider that the army returns to the na- tion all that 1t costs, inldiscipline of character and wholesome training of the boy"
 Opinion here does not regard the meeting of the ernperors as of large inn portance, though it cannot be called. Q mere visit of kinsmen for the reason that the chancellor, Count von Buelow, and Count Lamsdorf, the Russian min- jster of fOrnipto affairS apnnmpany tbai,. respective sovereigns.
 A new commercial treaty between Russia and Germany is regarded as still a long way off. but the Tageblatt thinks this is one of the subjects to be discussed by the emperors. Prince Henry joined the emperor on the trip.

MANY MINERS ASK FOR AID
HUNDREDS GATHER AT SCRAN- TON STRIKE HEADQUARTERS.


 ChiIdren-Orders Given for Provisions
 -Men Who Have Not Worked tn the
 Mines for Years Try to Obtain Help
 Upon Refusal They Threatened to Go
 to Work ns NOn-UmiOn Men.
 Shamokin, Pa, Aug. 1.-The head quarters of the Ninth district of the United Mine Workers Were visited to- day by hundreds of men asking for aid They were accompanied by wives and children. Orders on stores for provis- ions were issued only to strikers in good standing in the union. Numbers of applicants who have not worked in the mines for years tried to obtain aid but were refused, whereupon they threatened to go to work as non-union men.
 Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 4.-While the situation in this region is calm, the troops encamped here showed more &C., tivity to-day than they have on any day since they were ordered to Shenandoah They displayed great vigilance, due to the fact that the funeral of Joseph Bed dal, who died as a result of injuries re- ceived in Wednesdays riot, took place to-day. Beddal was a brother of Dep uty Sheriff Thomas Beddal, who was one of the principal figures in the fight, and a nephew of the sheriff. These men attended the funeral, and in con- sequence there were many rumors afloat that they would be attacked. These stories reached brigade headquarters, and General Gobin decided to take any untoward incidents while the fu- neral was being held without too great a display of the military force.
 Rumors of resumption of work in this territory are still in circulation, but there is nothing to indicate that these reports have any foundation whatever. There are in the Shenan- doah district nineteen collieries operat- ed by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, which former ly employed 12,0O0 men, and six col lieries owned by the Lehigh Valley Coal and Iron company, which employed B. 900 mine workers. Besides these there are several individual collieries. The mine inspector for this district said to- day that where a coal company desires to place a mine in operation it is com pelled by law to notify the mine inspec- tor of the district in which the mine is located, so that he can make an inspec- tion to see whether it is safe to permit men to enter it. Up to this time, he said, he had not received the slightest intimation that the companies are about to resume work.
 Scranton. Pa. Aug 4-The Edgerton colliery of the Temple Iron company at Simpson sent out thirty cars of prepar- ed coal to-day. The company refuses to say how the coal was secured, but re- port has it that a small force of men has been cutting and loading there since Friday.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
GREAT BATCH OF BUSINESS TRANSACTED LAST NIGHT.


 Its yvork-Want Life Lime Thrown
 Out ~ -communicatioDs, Resolutions and Reports Acted Upon--No Auto- mobiles for New Haven's Parks.
 The board of aldermen at its meeting last night transacted enough business to hold it for a long while, and when the meeting was called to order there was 8 pile of petitions, resolutions and reports before Assistant City Clerk Martin two feet high. The pile rapidly dwindled, and when the meeting came to a close some important business had been transacted. -~'- The minor business, such as the read ing of petitions for street Improvements, sewers, lighting, etc., was disposed of first and the reports of the different committees were heard and disposed of in the usual manner. f..
 Anthony Carroll sent in a petition for services rendered for defending himself in his suit against Chief Wrinn and Felix Chillingworth, the judgment in which was rendered against MT. Car roll about three months ago. The pe- tition was referred to the committee on claims.
 A communication was received from the committee on streets showing that there were sixty-eight different peti- tions left over from the old board to be attended to by the committee, and some advice as to the disposition of the pe- tions was asked by the board. Some of the members thought that it was work for the committee on streets and others that the matter should be re- ferred to special committee as the matter was old matter. The conan1uni- cation was finally referred to the con1- mittee on streets.
 A few moments later Alderman True man, the chairman of the committee on streets, sent in a long communication asking for the board to investigate the existing conditions that the committee have to contend with in their work and setting forth a number of articles, the substance of which follows: In the first section of the communication the cona- mittee finds that the city engineer has work before him for permanent pave ments that will take until December, 1904, to complete. Secondly, the com mittee finds that petitions are coming in constantly to them and the petition CTS naturally expect them to be grant ed, or at least acted upon. In the third section of the communication the committee says they fully agree with the petitioners that the petitions should be granted and in the next section they say they have too much consideration for the feelings of the petitioners to sit silently at meetings and listen to plead ings when they know that no action can possibly be taken and that there is no chance for their petitions to be fulfilled.
 In section five of the interesting docu- ment the writers say that next to the -~~-

MAY DENOUNCE CONCORDAT
PROBABLE ACTION OF II. CoMBES, FRENCH PREMIER.

Vatican Fears the WOrst-Regards the Present Situation in Franco as Most Grnve-some of Ghe Cardinals Advocate an Entire Rupture With France
 RampolIa Still for Temporizing. Rome, Aug. 1.-The vatican regards
 the present situation in France arising
 from the closing of unauthorized con- gregationist schools as most grave, as it is now believed to be the intention of
 M. Combes, the French premier, to de-
 nounce the concordat.
 It is reported that Cardinal Ranpolla
 is still in favor of temporizing with France, fearing that the hostile attitude
 of the vatican toward that country | would lead to graver complications.
 Some of the cardinals advocate an en- tire rupture with France. thus antici-
 pating that republic and preventing the
 passage there of further anti-clerical
 laws.
 Chambery, France, Aug. 4.-Crowds | made demonstrations in two neighbor-
 ing townships to-day against commits saries of police who were closing up schools conducted by nuns. The tocsin
 was rung and the sisters. who refuse
 to open their doors to the commissaries, were cheered by the people. The police were eventually obliged to make breaches in the walls of the buildings, whereupon the sisters, amid the cheers of their sympathizers, left by the front doors.

ADMIRAL TAYLOR'S DENIAL.
DID NOT PREDICT WAR WITH
 GERMANY IN 1907.

Merely Said That Coast Defenses Should be We'll Protected Against Attuck by Any European Power and That Navy Should be In Readiness for Any Possi-
 bie war-Taylor's Alleged Statements SidtcuIed i'm Germany.
 Chicago, Aug. 4.-Rear Admiral Tay- Tor denies the story wired from Wash ington to the effect that he believes the United States and Germany may go to war in 1907. When asked if he set a date for a conflict between the two countries he said: Such assertions as have been credited to me are without foundation other than that have said our coast defenses should be well pro- tected against attack by any European power. All naval officers are of this opinion. It would be ridiculous for me to predict war with any nation. Our navy should be strengthened in readi- ness for any possible war;
 Berlin, Aug. 1.-The utterances attrib- uted to Rear Admiral Taylor of the United States navy as to probable conflict between Germany and the United States in 1907 was printed con- spicuously here. The Tageblatt says it requires all the wrongheadedness of a jingo combine! with complete ignorance of European affairs to imagine that Germany intends to annex the Neither lands. Any German admiral so indis- erect, the Tageblatt continues, would be relieved of his duties immediately.
 In a recent despatch from Washing ton, Admiral Taylor, chief of the bu- reau of navigation, was credited with having given expression to the ideas referred to in the foregoing message from Berlin. In this Washington des- patch Rear Admiral Taylor was de- scribed as thoroughly alive to the steady set of the current which is car rying the United States and Germany along converging lines in many parts of the globe and bringing these two nations into closer rivalry everywhere. To Rear Admiral Taylor was given credit of warning the leaders of the United States army and navy that pre- parations must begin at once and be vigorously prosecuted from this time forth for grave crisis in German American relations in the spring of 1907. The time of this crisis is fixed coincident with the most efficient sea power Germany now contemplates-the time when the Panama canal will be occupying much attention in this coun- try, when the Cuban republic may have abotu reached the end of it's tether, when Jamaica and other West Indian islands will be Drostrate in bankruptcy, when the Netherlands-ac- cording to Admiral Taylor's predictions will have been absorved by Germany, leaving Curacao and the other Dutch islands of the Caribbean sea as bones of contention to force a supreme test of the Monroe doctrine.

SUIT AGAINST BEEF TRUST
THE GOVERNMENTS CASE SENT
 4 STEP FORWARD.

NoHpAaAhk oA
 Which the Injunction fs Asked Is In-
 sufficient = Allegations Technically
 Admitted.
 Chicago, Aug 4.-The government suit against the alleged beef trust was sent 8 step forward here to-day by the filing in the United States circuit court of de- murrers of the defendants, both as in- dividuals and as corporations. The de- murrers set up at considerable length that the complaint on which an injunc- tion Is asked is insufficient. It main tained that the suit is multifarious and if allowed to stand would tend to con- gest the business of the court, In specific terms the demurrers assert that ''so much of the bill of complaint as asks, a discovery of the several inter ests of the defendants and their busi- ness methods 'has not stated such a case as would entitle the complainant to the relief prayed for"
 The effect of the filing of the demur- rers is technically to admit all the al- legations charged in the bill of com- plaint. The argument advanced in support of the packers position is that, admitting the truth of the charge, no sufficient ground has been shown for the issuance of the petitioned writ. The instrument was signed by John s. Mill CT, counsel for all the packers.
 If the demurrer is sustained by the court the original complaint may be amended, and if overruled the defend ants have the privilege of answering. It is not expected that any further steps will be taken in the case by either side until about October 1, when the federal grand jurors return from their vaca- tions,
