and now the beautiful Queen of the An- titles has started on her course as free republic among the nations of the earth.
 But there is one thing-our policy toward Cuba has not yet met with its entire fruition. It will meet with it. The course of the last few years has made more evident than ever before that this nation must in time to come have pecuniary interests on the isth- mus connecting the two Americas and in the waters and among the islands adjacent thereto. Nationally, we can not occupy the position toward these regions that we do towards others where our interests are far less and this is doubly true that congress with great wisdom has provided for the building of an inter-ocean canal.
 Cuba must occupy peculiar rela- tion to us on the field of international politics. She must in the larger sense be a part of the general political sys- tenn in international affairs of which this republic stands at the head. She has assented to that view and in re- turn this nation is bound to give her special economic privileges not given to other nations.
 II regret that measure of reciproc- ity with Cuba is not already embodied in statute or in treaty, but it will be just as sure as fate.
 And now a word as to the Philip pines, there are yet traubles in the Moro ! country, the country of the Moham- modan tribes, but in the Philippines among the Filipinos, among the people who have been in insurrection, peace now reigns.
 Tt may be, I think unlikely but it is possible, that here and there some seeming dead coal ofinsurrection may be for the moment famed into live piece of ember, and burst into a fitful flame.
 If so. that flame will be stamped out.

FOURTH OF JULY SUICIDE.
Thomss Brandon of l2I Portsea Street
 Killed Himself

Thomas Brandon, forty-one years old, whose home was at 121 Portsea. street, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by taking carbolic acid in TroWbridge Square. Some of the people in the park saw Brandon take a bottle from his pocket and empty the contents down
 his throat, and later when he reelsd
 and fell on his face on one of the cross-
 walks they rushed to his assistance.
 Sergeant McGann and Policeman Pow CTS of the Howard avenue station were near the spot at the time and when
 they reached Brandon he was almost dead. Officer Powers telephoned for
 the police ambulance and when it
 reached Trowbridge Square Brandon had died. A telephone message was then sent to pr. Bartlett, the medical
 examiner, and the suicide was ordered to be taken to Flynn's undertaking es- tablishment. Brandon was a hostler
 employed on Long wharf, and it is sup ! posed that despondency was the cause of his act.
 A Bridgeport paper of yesterday morning says: Thomas Brandon, who
 says he lives at 302 Portsea street, New ! Haven, walked off the Bridgeport Steamboat company's dock at the foot of Fairfield avenue, shortly before mid-
 night last night, and would have
 drowned had not Jake, the fifteen-year- old son of Drawtender Schietinger jumped into the water and rescued him.
 Brandon was taken to the emergency, where he was treated for chill after
 his irnpromptu bath" The foregoing would indicate that Branford tried to commit suicide in Bridgeport.

Last night the cars were crowded with people coming home from the grounds. At 10:S0 D. rn., at q distance of about two and half miles north of Gloversvile, there was a collision between two cars. one bound north and one bound south. They came together, head-on, with terrible veloc- ity.
 As result fifteen persons were killed and twenty-nine injured, the latter more or less seriously. As it was a hol- iday there were many business men among those on the cars. It is impos- sible to get the names of all at the pres ent time.
 City Recorder Frank c. Wood, of Glo- versville, had his back broken and is in very critical condition.

A BIG STABBING AFFRAY
SIX MEN MIXED UP IN B4TTLE E OF KNIVES ON GRAND AVENUE.
Gang of Italians Blocked a Sidewalk and Wouldn't Move for TWO Men Who Wanted to Pass-A Little Showing and Whipping of StiIletos Then Follow ed --Sarfnus Sfn l,s R acsiveh Inv ALI

One of the most serious and bloody stabbing affrays that have taken place in New Haven in several years was that of last night about 7:3o on lower Grand avenue, when six men, four of whom were Italians. had hand to hand slashing bout with knives and stilletos.
 Deep wounds were received by, each of the six men, and ten minutes after- ward the Grand avenue precinct was turned into a hospital, where physicians were sewing up cuts in the men as they lay back on chairs, weak from the loss of blood.
 The men who were arrested with blood stained clothes, faces and hands were William F. Baumer of II Shelton avenue, Albert H. Miles of 352 Munson street, Louis Garofano and his brother, Alexander, of 172 Wolcott street, Anto- nio Lofredo of 94 Congress avenue, and Pasquale Paulis of 67 York street.
 Bauman and Miles were returning from a fishing trip and when on the Gainesville bridge, opposite the pow CT house on Grand avenue. they met a gang of Italians on the sidewalk.
 Tine gang refused to move as the men approached them, and they were asked to get out Of the way. They still re- fused to move whereupon Baunan and Miles tried to elbow their way through the crowd. The Italians thought Bau- man and Miles were fighting, so that was cue for them to fall back on their knives. The Garofano brothers were the leaders, and they sailed into Miles and Bauman with all their might. The attacked men yelled and tried to protect themselves as best they could and as a result they were severely cut on the arms and body. The yelling of the men attracted the attention of Ital- ians in saloon opposite the scene of the fight, and out they rushed with bil- Hard cues and knives. Two cues were broken into splinters over the heads of some of the men in the fight, and later the officers gathered the pieces together, covered with blood. and took them to the station house.
 So mixed up was the fight that the Italians turned on each other and three of them were dangerously stabbed, all above the neck.
 The fight lasted about ten minutes and the attention of Patrolman Linsley who was just starting out on his launch for spin down the harbor, was called to it. He ran the boat on the beach near the power house and put for the scene. He caught Louis Garofano and his brother and held them, and soon Sergeant Bowers, LawIer, Hanrahan, and Special Constable c. Kelly appear ed. The wagon was sent for, and Driver Grady reached the spotsin rec-

ROCK ISLAND TRAIN HELD UP
ONE OF THE FASTEST ON THE
 ROAD.
Travelling Forty Miles an Hour When Two Masked Men Climb Over Tender and Order Engineer and Bremen to stop-Express Messenger Compelled 10 Hand Over n Bag of Jewefry.

Joliet, H., July 4.-Four highWaymen last night held up train No. 5, one of the fastest on the Rock Island road.
 The train was moving at the rate of for ty miles an hour when two masked men climbed over the tender and, leveling revolvers at the engineer and fireman, ordered them to stop. a"~~ The men then ordered the engineer to dismount and made him walk to the ex-
 press car as a decoy. He was ordered to ask the messenger to open the door. When the messenger appeared the | burglars began shooting and threaten ed to blow up the car with dynamite 1 unless he gave up the valuables in his possession.
 Assistant Messenger Kane drew a pistol, and was shot through the right
 groin. The messenger at the point of pistol was made to carry bag con- taining jewelry over to a fence. where it was lessurely examined. By this time | passengers began piling out of coaches I to learn the cause of the shooting. This frightened the highwaymen, who fled. 1 Later the police arrested Charles Nessler He climbed over the tender of 1 the engine and told the engineer ana
 firemen that they must stop under pen
 atty of death. Nessler, however, is be-
 lieved to have been the unwilling &C., complice of the robbers as he obeyed
 their commands at the point of re-

 l With fifty men on their trail and the
 promise of desperate battle and prob-
 ably death for their portion if they
 shall be overtaken the two train rob-
 bers are still at large. All during the
 night and through to-day they pushed
 on through the farming country, steal
 ing buggy or wagon here and there,
 and abandoning the teams when they
 were too exhausted to carry them fur ther.
 Messenger Kane was taken to Chi cago and, it is believed, he will re- cover.

 There were more accidents yesterday
 than on the Fourth of July in this city
 for a number of years. Many of them
 were small ones, yet in all of the cases
 great deal of pain accompanied. The
 saddest and most serious accident of
 the day happened to little Lena Brom-

 lock street. Lena was sitting on the
 curbstone in front of her house with
 some playmates setting off firecrack-
 CTS. The piece of punk that she was using fell from her hand and landed on her thin dress, setting fire to it imme- diately. It blazed up before she could stop it and she ran toward her house, a
 mass of flames from head to foot. Some people in the house attempted to put
 the fire out by wrapping quilts about the little girl, but by the time they did
 her flesh was terribly burned. A hurry call was sent to the New Haven hospi- tai and the girl was taken there in all
 haste writhing in agony, but she died there at F o'clock, two hours after she arrived. Accident to Miss Davidson.
 An accident that almost proved fatal
 to Miss Lizzie Davidson, twenty-two years old, of 19 Anderson street, occur
 red last night in front of city hall dur l ing the fireworks display on the green.
 Miss Davidson and her escort, Charles J. Scoffnot, of 512l2 Elm street, were viewing the sights on the green from that place with hundreds of others, | when people in the vicinity noticed something ab1aze coming through the air like meteor. Many of the specta- tors rushed out of the way, but they had little time to dodge. The thing, l which proved to be a skyrocket frame, struck Miss Davidson on the head and face, and rendered her unconscious. It crashed through her hat, burned the side of her face, disfgured her nose. cut a small piece of her tongue off, and it is thought that the sight of one of her eyes will be destroyed. It"fs not certain whether or not the eye will be lost, but It was severely scratched last night She was carried into the City Hall Pharmacy by her escort and Detective Donnelly, who was near, and Dr. Eliot was called to attend her The doctor worked over her for about half an hour and she finally came-to, though in a very weakened condition. A carriage | was sent for and Miss Davidson was l taken to her home, where it was report ed she was resting as comfortable as | expected last night.
 | Hundreds of people crowded about the | City Hall Pharmacy when Miss David
 son was in there, and it was with diffi- | culty that the crowd was kept away. The force of the blow broke the sky | rocket frame and the two parts wera taken to the detective bureau by Cap 1 tain Cowles. The stick was about six feet long and on one end was the hard
 substance shaped like an immense fire | cracker. It was this that was lighted Continued on Third Page)
