Western Kansas, Porto Rico and Ha-
 waiian Districts Filled.

Cincinnati, April 1.-The Episcopal house of bishops to-day adopted a res olution commenting to the people of the missionary jurisdiction of the Epis- copal church to take action in assuming at least part of the support of their bishops.
 While as many bishops as possible will attend the synod of the old Catholics at Bonn, Germany, next Au- gust, Bishop Potter of New York was designated to extend the greetings Of the Episcopalians of America.
 Bishops were selected as follows Sa- lima. western Kansas, Nathaniel Sey- mour Thomas, rector of the Church of Holy Apostles, Philadelphia, and son of the late bishop of Kansas; Honolulu, Henry Bond Restarick rector of St. Paurs church, San Diego, Cal; Porto Rico, James H. Van Buren, formerly of Lynn. Mass, and later of San Juan.
 The new bishops cannot be consecrat- ed tor two or three months, awaiting the approval of the committees. Most of the day was devoted to considering the admission of the Mexican church.
 A decision finally was reached to ad- init the Episcopal church of Mexico, which heretofore has been affiliated with the Episcopalians of the United States. The Mexican church had se- lected as bishops, Rev. Henry Forres- ter, Rev. Fansto Orihuel and Rev. Jose Antonio Corrion. It was decided that the presiding bishop, upon receiving the approval of a constitutional major ity of the church, should consecrate these three men as the bishops of Mex leo.

 Bells Campaign.

Manila, April 17.--Gonzales, the in- 1 surgent leader, has agreed to obey Mal- vars order and will surrender. General Bell wires that no insurgents are left in | Batangas or Laguna provinces. The surrender of the insurgents of the isl- and of Samar has been postponed until
 April 20 on account of the weather
 making their movements difficult. Acting Governor Wright has returned
 here. He is enthusiastic over his recep-
 tion by the friendly natives of Lucena,
 province Of Tayabas
 General Chaffee has returned here
 from Malabang, Island of Mindanao
 He says the dates (chiefs) have not re-
 sponded to his invitation to take part in a conference: but the datto grande
 (grand chief) came to the American camp and through the datto grande, General Chaffee sent message to the other dattos, assuring them of the friendly intentions of the United Staets; but warning them that they must deliver up the assassins of the American soldiers. The general re- Iliiiiucu lllc ddttusc tildl thC iSiailu cl Mindanao had passed into the possess sion of the United States by the treaty of Paris and that the Americans intend to explore the country and build roads, etc, peaceably if possible, but that they will not brook int terferenoe on the part of the native chiefs. The general added that the Americans would not in- terfere with religion but unfailingly will enforce law and order and protect the American civil and military officials in the discharge of their duty.
 A force of 1,200 men, under Colonel Baldwin, will start April 25 from Mala banag for Lanao (Mindanao) leaving behind a reserve of 500 men,
 General Chaffee is sending the trans port Hancock to Mindanao in case the dattos resist which seems probable as they muster a total of 10000 men, of whom 800 are armed with rifles The remainder are spearmen and bolomen These natives are a different breed of fighters from the Filipinos. They are religious fanatics, to whom death while fighting is regarded as being a pass port to heaven. The American officials hope, however to avert a crisis.
 Captain Pitcher has telegraphed to Wheaton that the insurrection in the island of Mindoro is over.

London, April 1S.-The Daily Mali
 claims to have authority to announce i that bases of peace have been prac- tically agreed upon at Pretoria, but says that some little time will elapse before the details of the plan can be perfected The paper adds that upon finding that the British government re- fused on Wednesday to modify it's terms with regard to amnesty, banish- ment and a responsible government, the Boer delegates met again on Thurs day.

 When Lord Miner promised the dele gates one or two seats on the execu- tive council, subject to the approval of the government and pending the restor- ation of responsible government, they practically agreed to accept the British terms
 Lord Milner has summoned from Jo- hannesburg an Australian expert who is to assist in estimating the cost of rebuilding and restocking the Boer farms.
 The delegates, concludes the paper, have so far acted quite Independently of their representatives in Holland.

To be Laid From Wards Corner to tn e
 Grove.

The tracks from Wards Corner in West Haven to the grove at Savin Rock, which have been such an annoyance the last few years owing to the battered condition of the old horse car rails, are to be taken up and the line relaid with new material. The work will begin on Monday, when force of seventy-five men will start tearing up the old rails and ties and replacing them with new and heavier material. The rails will be in sixty-foot lengths and will furnish a perfectly smooth roadbed for the cars. The first section of the road will be paved with cobbles and the latter part, which heretofore has been soft and dusty, will be hardened with crushed stone. It is contemplated to complete the work before Decoration day so as not to interfere with the travel which is very heavy at that time. The work will not be contracted for, but will be done by the Fair Haven and Westville own men.

DIED OF CLOT ON THE BRAIN
RESULT OF THE AUTOPSY ON THE
 BoDY OF MRS. NORTON.

A Laceration of the Brain Caused by
 Either a Blow or a FalI--The Coroner
 Inclines to the Belief That 1t Was a
 FaIi-sIight Evidence Against Norton
 and Manmton-They WiiI be Held,
 However, Pending Further Inquiry.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett yesterday
 afternoon completed the autopsy on the remains of Mrs. Richard G. Norton,
 who died suddenly and under suspc-
 ious circumstances at her home, POI
 James street. early yesterday morning.
 pr. Bartlett reported to Coroner Mix
 the result of the autopsy and the cor- oner said last night that Mrs. Norton's death was caused primarily by clot of l blood on the brain. The autopsy reveal ed the fact that the brain was lascer- ated, this producing hemorrhage and the blood clot This condition of the brain might be caused, the coroner said, by fall causing heavy jar to the head or by blow, but there was not such exterior evidence as to indicate blow, although there was bruise on the face The coroner is more inclined to think that the fatal injury was caused by a heavy jar on the head re- ceived in a fall.
 Tho fyyo of Norton's death, Richard c. Norton and Thomas Mannion, are still held, how ever, and Coroner Mix said last night that he would not release them yet, but would hold them a while longer until he had looked into the case a little more With the evidence now in his possession it is not probable that the men will be held for trial, but that they will be soon released, unless additional duced is secured.
 Mrs Norton died about o'clock yes- terday morning. Her husband and Mannion had been out late Wednesday night and returned home about O clock Thursday morning. Both had been drinking quite heavily and there is evidence that they had some beer at the house after reaching home, and that Mrs. Norton drank considerable | of it.
 Norton told the coroner that after he ] arrived home Thursday morning he | found his wife lying on the floor dress ed and unconscious, He summoned Dr. | E. s. Thompson, who found that Mrs. 1 Norton was dead, and notified Dr. | Bartlett. Mrs. Norton was about thir- ty-sx years of age and a handsome 
 The husband is contractor at the rolling mill of the New Haven Iron and Steel company; Mannion is employed by him.
 Other persons who live in the house say that MT. and Mrs. Norton had 1uarreled frequently, but so far as they knew the quarrels had never resulted in violence. The two men last night retained Attorneys Fitzgerald and Walsh as their counsel.

FATAL WRECK AT ANS0NIA
FREIGHT TRAIN CRASHES INTO 4
 SWITCH ENGINE.
George Winner, Fireman, and Patrick Donovan, a Brakeman, Are Killed An Italian, Sent Back to Flag tho Freight, is Alleged to Have Neglected His Duty-Placed Under Arrest.


 Ansonia, Conn, April 17-The freight train due from Waterbury in this city lision with switcher standing on the main line tracks in the freight yards near the Farrel Foundry and Machine company, and two men were killed, George Wilmer of Bridgeport and Pat rick Donovan of Waterbury. An Ital- ian giving the name of Brascho, one of the crew of the switch engine, was ar rested and is held without bail pending an investigation by the police officials.
 The railroad officials are very uncom- municative about the accident, but it was learned that the switcher was held by block signal on the main track, and the conductor of the engine made the statement to the police that he sent Brascho back to flag the freight, which was due in few moments. It is al- legged that he failed to do this, and wit nesses say that he stopped to look in the windows of the foundry watching the men work. Upon these statements he was arrested.
 The engineer of the freight train sup posing he had a clear track proceeded at moderate rate of speed toward the Ansonia depot, and almost before he had time to reverse his engine he crashed into the rear of the switch en- zine George Winner, fireman on the freight, was standing between the cab of his engine and the tender when the crash came and he was pinned under the wreckage. It became necessary to cut away a large portion of the debris before the unfortunate man could be released. Patrick Donovan was brakeman on the freight. It is be- lieved that he jumped from his train He was crushed under car which had turned over on it's side.
 There were twenty-three cars in the freight train. all heavily loaded. and this accounts for the inability of the engineer to bring his train to stand still The engine plowed through nearly the entire length of flat car to the switcher. Three cars in the rear of the freight | engine were piled nearly twenty feet | fiji the air, and one of them was thrown | almost through the building of the Far | rel Foundry company

NOT TO ENRICH HERSELF
MISS STONE ISSUES STATEMENT
 THROUGH AMERICAN BOARD.
Towards Reimbursing Those Who May Have Ein ba rrassed Themselves tn Providing the Ransom-H Hopes Also to do Something for Missionary Work.

do Something for Missionary Work Boston, April 17.--Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary to Bulgaria, who was ransomed from the brigands and who returned to this country last week,
 tonight gave to the American Board
 of Commissioners of Foreign Missions
 statement in which she says that it
 having been presented to her as an i'm
 perative duty to recite her experiences
 in captivity in 8 public way, it was in her heart to devote the proceeds to- wards reimbursing any who may have embarrassed themselves in providing the ransom. The further hope grew that she might do something for those mis- sionary purposes to which she had given her life, such for instance as the estab lshment of industrial schools in Mace donia in which young men may be trained in legitimate occupations, so that they may not grow up to become brigands.
 Miss Stone says that she had these purposes at heart but felt a great re- luctance to state formally her inten- tions in this matter lest it should ap- pear like proclaiming what those who had known her would naturally sup pose to be her motive. In conclusion she says: Yet, inasmuch as it has been intimated to me that those who had not known me might suppose that my friends have in view a purpose of pensonal enrichment l am glad to state the fact that in my life and labors here at home, or abroad, I am still the mis- of Christ and shall continue to devote all I am and have or may have to the promotion of the Kingdom of God"
