4 rather interesting story Il learned yes

OF the proposed amendments 10 the Produce EX-
change Gratuity Fund bylaws. which were to
have been voted upon by the members last
Wednesday The amendments, the story goes,
we're drafted by the law committee of the board
o5 managers. and submitted 20 the counsel for
the Exchange. Baldwin & Blackner. who did
not approve them Thereupon the committee
consulted outside counsel, who gave favorable
opinion on the amendments. The committee
presented the amendments to the board Of man
ayers answering in the affirmative the boards
inquiry whether or not they had been approved
by counsel. but omittng 10 specify which coun-
sci had passed upon them. The amendments
were posted on the Produce Exchange, a pre-
nnlinary 10 the voting upon them. and Baldwin
& Blackmar sent IN their resignation as coun-
sci Of the Exchange and Of the Gratuity Fund
because Of the implied discourtesy shown in the
course OF the law committee in seeking legal
advice from outside counsel.
The resignation Of Baldwin & Blackmar
brought the matter 10 the attention ot the
board Of managers, who asked what counsel
had passed upon the amendments. but did not
find out. Two members OF the law committee
William H. Douglass and H=riert Barber re-
signed and President Barnes appointed Yale
Kneeland and H NJ Bogart to succeed them. A
note was sent by the board of managers 10
Baldwin & BlackTrar, saying that the entire

vision that the Exchange could buy in the tick

taken by counsel being that that was not a rea
sonable amendment such was allowed by the
recent decision OF the Court OF Appeals The
revised amendments, which will be voted on in
a few days provide that only memberships of
deceased or expelled members. or persons whose
memberships shall have been terminated for

ANDREW P. HorCHKISS.
Former Prominent Merchant Passed
 Away Suddenly Last Evening.

Andrew P. Hotchkiss, who for the past six or eight years had been in the employ of Charles Mann, the liquor dealer at PIP State street died very suddenly while partaking of his supper in Speh's cafe on Orange street last evening. Mr. Hotchkiss had gone to the restaurant as had been his wont for some time, and the meal was about half finished when one of the attendants mo- ticed that his knife and fork had drop ped from his hands and that he had leaned back into his chair and sunk into unconsciOusness. Several persons in the restaurant at the time rushed to the unfortunate mans assistance and they worked over him for about twenty minutes, but to no avail. Dr. Eliot was notified and pronounced death due to heart failure. The remains were re- moved to Lewis 6 Maycock's undertak- ing establishment
 MT Hotchkiss was about seventy three years old and had been resident of New Haven fer many years. He was a native of Bethany, and, coming to this city when young man, served for some time as clerk in wholesale grocery store conducted by Hotchkiss x Whittlesey on State street, near Chapel street Afterward he was a clerk for the late A. L. Kidston, the State street merchant, who gave Trinity church it's chime of bells. Later he was for a period of about twenty-five years a wholesale liquor merchant on State street, corner of Crown street.
 The deceased was widower, his wife having been dead for some years. She who was for many years president Of the Security Insurance company of this city. There were no children. Mrs. Stannard, wife of ex-Fire Commissioner Loren H. Stannard, is a sister of the late Mrs. Hotchkiss. There is also a brother in Northampton, Mass, and several relatives reside in Bethany. MT. Hotchkiss was a high Mason and had many friends in the city, who will be surprised and grieved to learn of his sudden death. He was member of Hi Tdn louse, T. anu A. M', anu LII tHe New Haven commandery, having join ed the latter forty-four years ago. He was also member of Franklin chapter No. 2. joining it June 15, 1858, and of Harmony council, which he joined June q, 1858. MT.

 Arrangements for the funeral ser- vices have not been completed, but they will probably take place on Friday af- ternoon.

NEEDLESSLY OFFENSIVE.
French Marine Msntsser's Aiiusioms to Britain, Germany aud Itn'y.


 Paris, Sept. 16.-The needlessly of- fensive allusions to Italy, Germany and Great Britain made by M. Pelletan, the marine minister, in recent speech at Ajaccio, Corsica, and yesterday in a speech at Bizerta have caused consid- erable surprise here and are generally deprecated. The only explanation of fered by Frenchmen is that M. Pelletan has forgotten that he Is now a minister and that he has been speaking as a journalist. The foreign minister, M Delcasse, is said to have been extremely vexed at M. Pelletan's utterances at Ajaccio, which are calculated to consid- erably irritate Italy at moment when the French government had succeeded in dissipating the ill-feeling which ex- ist between the two countries and had established an era of friendly relations M. Pelletan's further blunder yester- day at BiZerta in using insulting lan- guage regarding Germany and Great Britain has increased the annoyance felt against him and the French foreign office is visibly embarrassed to explain 1t away. An official there this after noon said;
 "M. Pelletans remarks must be taken as tsrictly personal and in no way re- f1ecting the general spirit of the French government towards the powers men- toned. He spoke in his capacity as minister of marine and as treating of the defense of the coasts and not as the mouthpiece of Frances foreign policy"

BRYAN MEN BEATEN.
No Mention of Silver in Massachusetfs
 and utnh PIa:forms.

Boston, Sept. 16.-The prospect of a harmonious convention tomorrow of the democrats of Massachusetts-a con- vention with every detail arranged the night before, a convention without a discordant note-were not particularly bright at the preliminary gathering of the party leaders and delegates to- night.
 That the contest for the head of the ticket between Colonel William A. Cas- ton and Charles S. Hamiin, both of Boston, would be carried into the con- vention had been anticipated, but that the committee on resolutions should be- come a storm center with the question of reatfirming the Kansas City plat form as the issue came as a great sur prise and furnished plenty of excite ment to the gathering at the Revere house this evening.
 Gaston refused to stand on any plat form reafffrming the Kansas City affair and he finally won over the opposition of George Fred Williams. The plat form as reported makes no mention of Bryan or the Kansas City convention.
 Provo, Utah, Sept. 16.-The democrat lc state convention to-day nominated Judge w. H. King, of Salt Lake, for congress and Richard w. Young, for merly of the supreme bench in the Philippines, for justice of the supreme court. The platform extended the sym pathy of the democratic party in Utah to Mrs. Mckinley. No mention was made in the platform either of MT. Bry- an or of Is to 1, but tme Kansas City platform was endorsed, and the cheers which greeted the mention of Bryan's name showed the feeling of the conven- tion towards him.
