HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL WEDNESDAY,

this stage of the war and it's showing
 may help in the explanation of the in- difference of the London market to the | Methuen disaster. According to this report by the Transyaal chamber of
 mines, S1 ,405 ounces of gold were taken out during February compared with ! $40 in January, 53,S97 in December
 and no more than 39,095 in November l This rate of resumption of the gold out
 put means much to the foreign financial IWorld, and indirectly to New York,
 while it is called upon to supply Euro l peon deficiencies, due to the cutting oit
 of the South African supply of gold. l The calmness of the London market led to some covering by shorts in this mar ket, which were put out late yesterday in the. hope of covering at profit on London selling this morning. There was renewed movement in some of the minor speeialties which have been the favorites for some time past. The news of the deposit at the sub-treasury of $1, ,250O00 in gold for telegraphic trans- fer to San Francisco in connection Witb the traction merger there called renew ed attention to our domestic money lIldEhGL SlludllUll. IliC rCAiliiS iiiSNS- ment which followed threw the market into irregularity for the rest of the day. The earlier gains were generally wiped out by the first selling on this news; there were some subsequent recoyeries, but the market closed heavy in tone and without animation
 Without counting to-day's transfer to San Francisco the markets loss to the sub-treasury since the last bank state ment, counting the Saturday shipments of gold for which payment was made to that institution, amounts to $4,5S1, 900. The rate for New York exchange at Chicago however, which has been at discount, rose to par But foreign ex change rates, which were easy yester- day. steadied to-day and the question of additional gold exports is thereby re- opened.
 Of the days special movements that in the Colorado and Southern stocks continued notable. Manhattan was firm on the report of large earnings Unconfirmed runors were still heard of consolidation of Mexican railroad in- terests. Chicago Terminal stocks were advanced on reports of buying in the interest of Baltimore and Ohio The Wisconsin Central stocks were active and strong without specific explanation. The strength in Peoples Gas was due to reports of measures to contest the seventy fVe-eent gas ordinance in Chi cago. There were a few other wide movements of less importance, which were not fully maintained
 Bonds were rather dull and irregular. l Total sales, par velue, aggregated $2,- 9S5, 0O0

TAFFETA THE FABRIC.

Much in Vogue in Paris for Spring
 Gowns to Be Worn at Nice.
 After all, it seems absurd to wait for new models when the air is so full of hints of what is to be worn in the spring. As profitable as is the trade of model making, there are many dress makers at the moment more occupied in getting up gowns for the Paris win ter season and for Nice, where undoubt edly spring modes are not only first launched, but first worn. That taffeta is to be the accepted spring fabric there exists not a doubt, and already taffeta gowns are being made up, the lighter ones for Nice and the darker neoS for Paris. A pretty example in pale gray taffeta has the skirt trimmed with three rows of appliqued scallops of gray cloth, edged with gray silk fringe. The bodice is a redingote in the back, cov- ering the skirt, and q bolero on the sides, with deep, circular collar trim med with cloth scallops and fringe. There is lace front with blue satin cravat, and big lace undersleeves very baggy on the outside of the arms, The silk sleeves are finished with two rows of the trimming, and cut to flare for four inches below the elbows.
 A street gown of black taffeta is cov- cred with scales cut out of black cloth, the scales growing larger toward the bottom of the skirt and coat. The coat is in the Louis XIV. style, and trimmed with some handsome steel buttons The skirt trails in the back and is gathered in a wide cluster of side pleats.-Paris Correspondence of the Norw York Trib- nm

Relief at Stiffness With Which the Methuen Disaster Was Met in London.

New York March 11,-Wall street sentiment experienced a sense of relief to-day when the reports of the early London market showed that powerful support was accorded the Kaffir mar ket there and that very little damage had resulted elsewhere from the shock of the capture by the Boers1 of General Methuen, The price of British consols yielded only shade, which was proba- bly, the most accurate index of the real gravity of the event in it's influence up- on British financial affairs The reyis- ed reports of the output of gold from the Witwatersrand for February is probably of more real importance at

LAST NIGHTS FIRF.
House on Charles Street Practically
 Burned in Two.

House on Charles Street Practically Burned In Two.
 A frame house at 62 Charles street occupied by Thomas A. Euell the Chap el street barber, was badly damaged by fire last night. About a quarter before ten several residents in the vicinity saw smoke issuing from an upstairs window and raised the cry of fire. An alarm from box 525, corner of DixWell avenue and Gregory street, soon brought com- panies 3, and 8 and truck ? to the scene The flames had gained much headway and had spread directly across the house through the center of it from the cellar to the garret. The fire had evidently originated from a defective flue on the second floor. and, following the chimney, had travelled both upward and downward and across each floor for the space between the joists, so that the house was practically burned into two parts. MT Euell, his wife and small child occupied the lower part of the house, while family had moved out of the second story only a few days ago No one WAS home at the time the fire started, and in consequence large part of the furniture was badly damaged. There is small insurance, but not enough to cover the loss on the con- tents. The building is owned by P. R. Reynolds, of Bassett street. It is esti- mated that about $600 will repair the damage to the house.

LAWSON AGAIN TESTIFIES.
Bitterly Denounced Bennett as Worst
 Scoundrel In Massa chusetts.

Boston, April 10.--Continuing testimo- ny in the Bennett-Donohue libel suit to-day, Thomas W. Lawson said that on one occasion he accused MT, Bennett of having carried out threats "of doing and saying things that would make me regret that I had refused to pay him money" by attacking MT. Lawson on the floor of the legislature at gas hearing.
 Mir Lawson testified that he said to MT. Bennett: You have shown your villainously oowardy character by talk ing advantage of your privilege as a member of the general court of Massa- chusetts to attack me in a place where I had no possible chance of answering you or in any way protecting myself.
 This is the climax of those things that show you to be what I have pre- viously said you Were-probably the most degenerate scoundrel now alive in the state of Massachusetts.

Detroit, Mich, April 10. What the police consider to be a strong link in the chain of circumstantial evidence that they are weaving about Professor Joseph M.

Jennett on Thirteenth street just before midnight last night. was discov- cred this evening.
 It is a bloodstained hatchet which was found in the drawer in a table in Miller's kitchen. There is now the fol lowing circumstantial evidence against Professor Miller who was the girls music teacher and had paid her such marked attentions that her father had asked him to keep away from the house. When he was examined at the Grand River avenue police station this morning what are supposed to be blood stains were found on his shirt sleeves. his trousers, shoes, hat and overcoat; a towel was discovered in his kitchen with what are supposed to be blood stains on it: when he was asked for an explanation of the stains on his clothing le gave ipIitB diit hiidiiy tilV ploou stained hatchet was found tonight.
 Miss Jennett, who was twenty-two years of age and who would have be- come mother in few months, was most brutally done to death just before 12 o'clock last night. She was felled by a terrific blow on the head which broke her neck and her throat was cut from ear to ear. A blow from some instru- ment made hole in the middle of her forehead and behind her left ear was a deep stab wound evidently made by the same instrument that was used to cut her throat. In addition to these ghastly wounds heavy blow had been struck on the side of the face fractur- ing the cheek bone. Her poor mutilat- ed body was found in this condition in a lonely spot on Thirteenth street. It was taken to the morgue and not iden- tified until this morning.
 Miss Jennett left her home last even ing to attend a meeting of the Rebekah lodge, of which she was a member. She left the meeting about 10 o'clock and was not seen again alive. Her parents

 of Insurgents.

Manila, April 10.-The members of the court martial trying Major Littleton w. T. Waller of the marine corps on the charge of executing natives of Samar without trial to-day received the rec ord of Belangiga, Island of Samar.

There was one from Guevarra, the insurgent leader telling the officials not to give out certain details as it was contrary to law. One letter was from the presi- dent of Balangiga, addressed to Luk- ban, saying he had agreed on the policy of doing what the Americans liked and then, when the opportunity offered, ris- ing against them. Counsel notified the court that they had finished with their witnesses and the court was requested to allow Major Waller to speak to-mor- row, before the regular address of coun- sel.

 Hartford, April 10.--The consideration of resolutions dealing with the pardon ing of criminals and the appointment of county commissioners occupied the attention of the convention to-day. The early part of the morning session was devoted to a discussion of a resolution, presented early in the session by MT. Waller of New London, making the governor lieutenant governor, secre- tary of state, treasurer and comptroller a board of pardons and regulating their duties.
 MT. Davenport, of Bridgeport, favor ed great clemency toward the criminal, but opposed the Waller plan because he said it divided the responsibility.
 Colonel Osborn, of New Haven, said there is now at the state prison young man undergoing life sentence who ought not to be there. He said the board of pardons had repeatedly reject ed the young mans application. Mr Osborn believed that these was some thing radically wrong with the present system.
 MT. Waller made an appeal for mercy toward prisoners, aluding to the case of Kate Cobb, of Norwich who, he said was entitled to pardon, but her appli-

Cornell Professor Says He Had al Least
 One Great Virtue-Forgiveness

Ithaca, N. Y, April 1o.-Professor Morse Stephens, in his lecture to-day in the course on history of the British empire, referred to the large bequests of Cecil Rhodes. Professor Stephens is a graduate of Oxford university.
 Surely" said he, there is nothing much grander in all history. Systemat- ically vilifed by almost every news paper in the United States, and by ev- cry newspaper in Germany; held up to public scorn as a money grabber and murderer Cecil Rhodes shows by this bequest that he had at least some great qualities and at least one great virtue that of forgiveness.
 Cecil Rhodes had not much opinion of mere learning. He states specifically in his will that in the appointment of the scholar literary qualifications are to count three tenths and many qualities of athletic proficiency and moral force are to count seven-tenths.
