4 PROBABLE URDER.
PedIar Found Unconscious in the Road
 way Near N aterbury.

Thomaston, Jan 26--What the police authorities believe to have been cold blooded attempt at murder and robbery occurred here o-day, and it is believed that before morning the victim of the affair, Edward Miller, aged fifty-five years, a Hebrew peddler, of Waterbury, will be dead. He was found uncon- scious in the road this morning by Her. bert Case. Blood was flowing from a bullet wound in the head. He was re- moved to the Waterbury hospital by the authorities. Miller was on his way from Litchfield, which place he visits weekly to sell his wares. He is accus- toned to stop at all the villages on the way and is known to carry considerable money with him at times. It is SUD- posed that he was attacked while driy-
 ing home. His horse and carriage are missing His home is at 45 Church street, Waterbury. The physicians say his condition is serious.
 Upon learning of the assault a large
 
 leadership of Sheriff Kaufman and Constable Kilner and are searching for Miller's assailant. The police are now practically certain that there was man connected with the crime. Will liam Halpin, who lives on what is known as Plymouth Hill road, reported to the authorities that he saw horse and carriage answering the description of Mller's vehicle being driven in the direction of Terryville by toll, smooth faced man. All roads are being guard ed, and the police in nearby towns are on the lookout in case the fugitive abandons the team It is believed that the crime was committed about one o'clock.
 Deputy Sheriff Kaufman of Thom- aston received a telephone message | from Officer Belden of Bristol, stating that the missing rig had been found hitched to post in Bristol. The man was not seen in that town, but it is be- | lieved that he boarded a car for New | Britain.

4 SEW PARTY ORGANIZED.
Declares for Taxation of Churches and
 Against sunday Observance.

Cincinnati, Jan. 26.-The national lib- eral party was organized here to-day by representatives from all parts of the country. The preamble to the new con- stitution which was adopted declared for the separation of church and state to the extent of abolishing chaplains in the army and navy, legislative bodies and all public institutions, the taxation of church property and the abandon ment of Sabbah observance.
 The party is the amalgamation for politicaol purposes of free thinkers and it is more distinctly in politics than the American secular union. The tempor- ary organization was formed al Buffalo last October, with T. J. Bowoles, of Muncie Ind, as president and F. w. Jamison, of Cincinnati, as secretary, who were in charge of the national con- vention to-day but officers will be e'ect- ed tomorrow.
 The free love element was not admit ted into the new organization but the woman suffragists were admitted. At the Thomas Paine memorial tonight addresses were made by c. S. Darrow of Chicago, J. T, Wyscarver and oth- CTS.

Schley, with MT. and Mrs. E. A. Nun ger, attended services at the Trinity Episcopal church at Il o'clock. As their place of worship had not been made
 public only the usual congregation was present. The sermon was preached by

EFRMAN PRESS STILL IRRITATED
Further Criticism of Lord Cranborne's
 Statement i'm the Commons.

Berlin Jan. 26-The German press throughout shows irritation over the alleged British attempts to throw sus- picion on the policy entertained to- wards the United States by Germany before the outbreak of the Spanish American war. Nearly all the German newspapers regard these alleged at tempts in the same light as does the Deutsche Tages Zeitung Dwelling up- on the motives which actuated the in- terpellation of Henry Norman in the British house of commons January 20 that paper says:
 Tn the London reports cabled to New York, it is alleged that Germany was the instigator of a plan to bring about intervention by the European powers against the United States. This is direct blow in the face of truth. But what of it? It might perhaps, on the verge of Prince Henrys visit, create i'll feelings in the United States, in which case the object underlying MT. Norman's interpolation and the an- swer thereto of Lord Cranborne, as well as that of the inventions sent abroad by English newspaper agencies you'd be fulfilled,

WISH CHINESE ADMI1rED.
Appeal by American Chamber of Com -
 rnorce Of Manila.

Manila, Jan. 26.-The American chamber of commerce here has formu-
 lated an appeal to congress in which
 it earnestly prays for the enactment of
 laws allowing Chinemen to enter the
 Philippine islands, under such restric-
 tions as the United States Philippine commission may enact. The present re- strictive law concerning immigration, continues this appeal is of no benefit to the Filipinos Chinamen, if admitted, would not enter into competition with local labor and their entry into the is- lands is imperatively needed as the to- bacco, hemp and sugar lands of the archipelago are only partially cultivat- ed Without this legislation the coun- try cannot be properly developed. Building in Manila has been badly re- tarded because of this lack of labor and for these reasons the American chamber of commerce, composed en- tlrely of American citizens representing commercial interests, respectfully prays for immediate action in this matter The United States Philippine commis- sion has appropriated s5,OOO for inn proving the harbor of Iloilo and $3,00O to be expended on the Cagayan river, in northern LuZon.
 Colonel Charles w. Miner of the Sixth infantry reports the conditions on the island of Negros to be unsatisfac- tory, and that 400 bolomen and 40 men armed with rifles, under the command of the fanatical bandit leader, Papa Isio, are terrorizing the people of Me- grOS.

EVENTUAL INDEPENDENCE FOR
 FILIPKN0S THE BEST POLICY.
Repeats His Boston Statement-Thts Policy He Declares Would More Than Anything Else Promote the Welfare of the Islanders Stands With Presi- dent RooseveIt-Opposes Gen. Whea- toms Policy.
toms Policy.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 26.-President Schurman to-day made a statement ex- planatory of his recent Boston speech in which he advocated the eventual in dependence of the people of the Philip pine islands The substance of his late speech was to the effect that if the Christians of Luzon and Visaya want ed independence and showed them selves capable of assuming it this coun- try would eventually give it to them
 President Schurman said to-day he believed the policy he advocated would more than anything else promote the welfare of the Filipinos. President Roosevelt, he said, had declared in his message to congress that we were to do for the Fllipinos far more than any other nation had ever done for trop- ical people, and that we were to fit them for government after the fashion of really free races. He said he stood with President Roosevelt in his policy and was against the policy advocated by General Wheaton, which would mean colonial servitude like that of Java and India, and that it was just as proper for one to advocate policy of eventual independence at the pres ent time as it would be to urge the adoption of General Wheaton's plan, since the American people have not yet passed upon the question of final Phil ippine policy.

SLOW INFLAMMATION.
Bishop Coppin's Opinion of What the
 BOer War Means.

New York. Jan. 26.-The Rt. Rev. L..
 J. Coppin, who sailed from this city about a year ago on the Umbria to take charge of the Fourteenth Episcopal dio- cese of the A. M. E. church in South Africa, returned by the same ship, ar- irving here to-day. He is from Phila- delphia and the first bishop sent out by the A. M. F. church to take charge of this diocese, which lies south of the Zambesi river and comprises two con- ferences, the South African and the Transvaal.
 ''I found plenty of work awaiting me when I got out there" he said to-day "The two conferences were mapped out, but were not organized and only start had been made in their development. We now have between forty and fifty churches established with over one hundred travelling ministers We have recently bought a large building in Cape Town where in February next we will open a school to prepare students for a collegiate course. We are also hoping soon to tsart an industrial and literary school near Bloomfontein. mod eled on the same general plans as the school at Tuskegee.
 We are seriously handicapped in this project by the unsettled condition of the country on account of the war There seems little hope of the terrible war cloud lifting. You cannot conceive the condition of affairs over there. The Boers are gradually being wiped off teh earth. It is no longer war, but a pro- cess of slow extermination. England will never listen to any arbitration proposition which means restoration of the republic and the Boers will accept no other settlement. Just as long as they are able to keep up this guerilla method of warfare they can, notwith- standing the smallness of their num- bers, keep thousands of soldiers in the field busy watching them and trying to head them off
 Bishop Coppin goes from here to Phil adelphia where he will remain for some two months.

MUD DREDGE D4M4GED.
A Big Derrick Fell Over at tho Public
 Wharf Yesterday.

By a peculiar accident which hap pened yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock the big mud digger barge Kirk and Driscoll," which has been stationed at the public wharf, foot of Hamilton street for some time, was badly dam aged, The barge has been anchored by two large timbers driven into the mud at either end of the barge. These timber anchors are called "spuds," and lately one of them has become decayed and it was decided to substitute a new one for it.
 Yesterday big chain attached to the derricks was fastened to the old 'spud" and the engine was started, the men thinking to pull the timber up by means of the derrick In some way the derrick became overbalaneed and bell backward across the barge, smash ing the deck house and other wood- work on the deck. The smokestack was crushed, machinery displaced and things generally disarranged so that it will take a weeks work at least to make repairs so that the barge can go on with her work.
