FREIGHT BROKE IN TWO.
Exciting Time in the Cut Of North-
 ampton Road.

The regular freight that is due here at 11:50 from Northampton broke in two near the stock yards about three miles up the road, and caused a wild chase down the narrow cut to this city just before midnight. The train was a long and heavy one, and when the en- gineer found that his train parted he put on full steam and pulled the whistle rope necessarily until he reached the yards at the depot. People in the cen- ter of the city heard tine screeching en- zine coming in the distance and won dered the cause. and by the time the first part of the train had reached the Court street bridge there were fully fif- ty men there trying to discover the trouble. The whistle kept on blowing. and soon an engine and a caboose and a single engine hurried up the tracks.
 The latter part of the freight was stopped after 1t had gone about a mile, and no damage was done. It was pull ed down to the first half, and the patch- ed-up train drew into the station an hour and half late.

EVIL OF BETTING IN ENGLAND.
Reports That it Cannot he
 Entirely Suppressed.

London, July 3.-The select commit tee of the house of lords which was appointed last January to deal with the evils of betting and which included the Earl of Durham, the Earl of Harewood, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Aber- deen. Viscount Peel and the Bishop of Hereford among it's members, has just issued its report. The committee has arrived at the conclusion that betting cannot be altogether suppressed; but, in view of the fact that while the prac- tice has declined among the higher classes and horse owners it has taken an increasingly stronger hold on the working classes, it recommends that betting should be confined by legislation to the actual scenes of racing and ath- letics. Bookmakers who induce boys and girls to bet should be imprisoned without the option of a fine and the committee finds that the same penalty should be extended to street bookmak- CTS against whom repeated convictions have been recorded. It deprecates any attempt to prohibit the publication of starting prices, but favors the suppress sion of the advertisements of sporting tipsters. The committee considers it impossible that the jockey club should undertake the responsibility of licens- ing bookmakers and opposes the intro duction of the French Paris Mutual system.

DROWNED IN THE HARROR,
James J. Esenncsey, of Worcester, Fell
 from Schooner Arizon,

from schooner ArlZOn.
 John J. Hennessey of Worcester, Q sailor on the three-masted schooner Arizon, Captain Smith, now tied up at the docks of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad, fell over- board yesterday afternoon while the vessel was off the break water, and his body has not been seen since. Hennes- sey shipped on the schooner when she was in Philadelphia, and it was his intention of making his way to his home in Worcester. He was slightly intoxi- cated yesterday, and while in this con- dition he fell into the water. His eff forts to keep his head above water were heard by other members of the crew. who lowered a boat in the hope of find- ing him. Six men kept close watch nearly all of the afternoon, but the body of Hennessey did not come to the sur face, The schooner was lowed up the harbor later in the afternoon.
 The tide was running out at the time, and it is likely that the body was car- ried out with it. Hennessey was about thirty-seven years old and one of the members of the crew said last night that he was of & good disposition and seemed to be fairly well educated man. His brother is said to live at 16S Front street, Worcester.

BRITAIN AND THE POWERS
FOREIGN RELATIONS DISCUSSED
 IN THE COMMONS.
Great Britain Not to Blame for the Fair- ure Of m Understandings With Russia Tho situation In the Mediterranean- The Agreement With Japan and tho integrity Of china-Persian Gulf In- autry Not Answered.

London, July 3.-When the vote for the foreign office came up in the House of Commons this afternoon the govern- ment's foreign policy came In for con- siderable criticism. Sir Charles Dilke (advanced radicaD said he wanted to know if there had been any real nego- tiations with France looking to the set clement of the French shore (New- foundland) dispute, and he further de- clared that British recognition or French rights to the Hinterland of .Tripoli endangered the traditional friendship of Great Britain and Italy. The new arrangements between France and Italy, he further asserted, had en- tirely upset the British situation tn the Mediterranean and eastern Europe. They had been made in order to put the screws on Great Britain. The feeble ness of the governments policy in Chi na showed the absence of presiding mind.
 Sir Charles also referred to the hos tility to Russia involved in the Japan csc alliance, and he advocated that a clear definition of the respective inter- ests of Great Britain and Russia could possibly be secured by some sort of an arrangement with the cZar himself.
 Continuing, Sir Charles asked if there was secret understanding with Ger many regarding her access to the Per- sian gulf, and urged the fostering of friendship with France.
 Sir Charles finished with moving an amendment reducing the salary of the foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne.
 Thor1as Gibson Bowles (conservative) seconded the motion. He said he re- gretted the subserviency of the foreign office towards Germany, declating that she was the disturbing influence in Chi na and Emperor Williams telegram to MT. Kruger was largely responsible for the feeling which produced the Boer war.
 Henry Norman 0iberaD wanted to know if the government realized that Germany had practically secured exclu- sive rights in the Shantung peninsula, and that Russia had complete monop. oly of the enormously valuable mines of Mongolia.
 During the course of a general reply the under-secretary for the foreign of- flee, Lord Cranborne, declared that the great questions affecting Newfoundland

THE FOURTH USnERED IN.

tions in New Haven and at the Shore
 Resorts-Thc Day,s Many Events.
 The Glorious Fourth, if it is pleasant -and the weather man said last night that it would be--Will be celebrated to- day in a manner that will make patri- otic enthusiasm boil in the heart of every one. The beautiful sunset last night seemed to have been made for the purpose of announcing a red-hot and fiery Fourth, and those superstitiously inclined pin their faith in this glow of the heavens saying that whenever a sunset like the one last night appears on the eve of the Fourt, a day bright generally and free from catastrophies will follow. This remains to be seen, but no doubt few broken heads, burn ed hands and black eyes will be re- ported.
 If it is hot day the business at Savin Rock and the east shore will be by long odds the biggest of the year, as the Oc- tober weather tfsat has been hanging around New Haven for month or two has made even holiday crowds at these places this year lock like limitations. The Fair Haven end Westrille railroad has made preparations for handling an immense crowd, and doubtless all of the many thousands that Wiil spend the day st the ahore will Ee transported in a rapid and careful manner. At these places the attractions will be many and varied, including a nything from a Dutch picnic to a dry goods clerks ball game.
 In the city things will be as lively as at the shore, and all these who can't find time and money to get out of town will be well satisfied with the noise and fireworks that viii be heard ana seen by the celebrating public. A fire or two is likely to be thrown in tS vary the pro- gramr,e, and an occasional ambulance dashing down the street for some boy who didn't know it was loaded will make excitement enough to satisfy any one.
 There is a certain somsthing about the day that makes everybody say he had great time, whether it is in New Haven or Montowese, and there is no doubt that the plans made by the dif- ferent societies, clubs, teams, commit tees and the like will provide doings that will please all.
 The fun began last night, and the (Continued on Sixth Page.)
